Has someone else noticed that from certain camera angles the colours are off, most visibly on the mclarens?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yes, I've noticed that too. Especially when the McLarens and Ferraris are side by side

Edit: think it's just the camera for corners 1 & 2

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yes this was bugging me too! How strange.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

There is one corner they look rather red.

"I hit the wall."
"Can you bring it back?"
"No I hit the ****** wall"

Really? Found it pretty interesting so far. Quite eventful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah I enjoyed it. Good racing up and down.

Has KMag fucked the stewards' wives?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Didn't Steiner say something about a Viking cum back when he was TP?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Apparently he pissed in their cereal as well

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Bearman 🐐🐐🐐🐐

He's possibly scored more points today than some drivers will in this entire season.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I think he'll score more points today than Sargeant over 2 seasons.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And Stroll is in the barriers. First safety car of the season.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Amateurish from stroll

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Aaaaaand Max already has a gap you could fit half the F2 grid in

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Bearman up to 9th. He's absolutely killing it.

Edit: aw he lost the position

Edit: He got it back πŸ’ͺ

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Fingers crossed for McLaren today!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If that Norris start is not a jump start then I don't know what is

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The jump starts are based on telemetry, if he was behind the sensor in his box and moved and was still behind, no jump start. You can technically start moving early, so long as you don't cross the sensor before the lights go out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I hope this is not going to give others ideas though. Don't want to see the guys line up further back just to try and get more momentum before the lights.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (4 children)

His start was massively compromised as a result, since he stopped and started again.

Arguably defined his race v Piastri all told. I think it was right to not penalise him tbh

Its happened before, I remember Bottas 2020 in Hungary. As far as I know, the timing for the final lights out is random so you can't reliably time it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Yeah I remember him having a crazy 0.00something reaction time. I even remember Vettel straight up saying he didn't believe that in post races interviews. It was probably a case of perfect anticipation more than reaction.

Two things.

  1. How has Norris not got a penalty yet.
  2. How is Perez not being investigated yet.

Are the stewards asleepΒΏ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Perez got noted for unsafe release by stewards.

Edited:Now Norris is being investigated.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

They're taking really long.

And now there's no jump start penalty for Norris at all

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Both under investigation now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Took their own sweet time

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

McLaren and Mercedes didn't double stack because...........

gambling on another s/c i guess?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Did they have enough space to double stack without impeding?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

i mean, you can slow down the second car before hitting the pits and then crawl in the pit lane, only needs a 5 second gap or so

10s penalty for Magnussen? No penalty for Norris?

Interesting decisions.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

KMag absolute the train engine

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Come on Oscar...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Kick must be kicking themselves now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Well, at least we got a new race leader..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Another disaster pitstop for Kick Sauber..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Well played KMag, well played

Let's see if Bearman can make some early overtakes on those softs

Did something happen to Magnusson at the end? I thought I saw him drop about four places in a couple of seconds but no mention of it on the commentary

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He had 20 seconds of penalties so that's probably it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Oh haha yeah I forgot πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What happened with Gasly's car? Missed it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Gearbox issue I think
