2023 Austrian Grand Prix Race Weekend Thread
Welcome
Welcome to the race weekend! Please use this post to discuss all the sessions for this weekends Grand Prix.
I suspect that this post will be a little more hectic with all the action this weekend. We'll look to change things up after this one if there is a demand for that.
Wow Perez fails to make Q3 AGAIN!
Fastest car with the most out of form driver!
front row when it mattered /s
4 races in a row not in Q3 in the clearly fastest car. That's remarkably bad.
Perez had the Yips
Hulkenberg doing his usual in quali. P15 race finish incoming.
FYI, posts/comments from
lemmy.worldusers seem to be federating tolenmy.mlslowly/erratically. I've heard of this happening all over the lemmyverse, not just between those two servers, but a few regular posters are onlemmy.worldand so some weekend news might arrive slowly from them due to federation lag.Thanks for this. I think I'm missing some of the .ml comments too
Albon, Albon, give that man a quicker car
Track limits is brutal, and I like it, but they need to be quicker.
I don't. These track limits are too brutal. There has to be some margin for error
The white line is the margin for error.
Damn Perez not looking good
Gutted for Albon losing that lap.
Looks like there are going to be open seats at both Red Bull and Alpha Tauri…
They might as well leave the cars empty, save on tyres
Norris is looking quick here!
Orchestral live performance for the national anthem is always a pleasure
Awww, Yuki it's ok! Everything is fine.
Wow I did not expect Charles to get that close to Max. What a lap, but Max + the RB is just too good.
I think Max played it very safe with the track limits to avoid doing a Checo
I really wish the F1tv app had PiP support...
Can you not use the unnoficial multiviewer app?
Not on my phone lol
From the Dutch broadcast:
0.8 seconds between no.1 and no. 20 in Q1, last year De Vries would have been 10th.
Nah, he would have had a slower time last year
True, but this just shows how much closer the entire field is.
Ferrari did well in quals!?
Last race they also had good strategy! What is happening.
Norris! The upgrades are working!
Damn good try Charles. At least he gave us a little excitement at the end there
Stroll not bad
Out again! Fuck sake.
Hey all, first post here just as RIF has just closed shop. Just like to point out Perez and Tsunoda start on the same row on Sunday, really hope Yuki gets to drive a competitive car before soon because his results definitely don't reflect his quality this year.
McLaren seems to be closing in on Mercedes now too. Love that the field is closing up
Perez bruh
This is getting ridiculous with the track limits
Nor Hul Alo the top 3 with half a session done. I like these weird lists.
Piastri fastest without the upgrades and Max having to battle up the field? STOP THE COUNT!
Nice! Awesome performance by Max again. Ferrari getting close, great to see.
Track limits having no margin for error is crazy. People say that the drivers are able to stay out of the wall in street tracks but walls are easy to see. Lines on the other hand are difficult to spot from the cockpit. Getting penalties for going mere millimetres over must be sucking the joy out of drivers
Getting penalties for going mere millimetres over must be sucking the joy out of drivers
If only there were some way to compensate them millions of dollars for their frustration.
All I want for Christmas is consistent and prompt stewarding. If they enforce track limits more or less every time, either before the lap is over or during the following lap, I'm happy for them to track it down to the millimeter.
Where did the Ferrari performance come from? They seem to be really on it this weekend
Last year they nailed the Austria set-up as well. Maybe they just know what they have to here.
They had a pirelli tyre test after Barcelona race. 314 laps between the two drivers. Supposed to have helped them a lot.
Hulk really has been exceptional in qualy this year.
How much of the gap between Lando and piastri was the updates and how much was Austria-spec Lando¿?
I find it hard to believe that McLaren have gained that much time from their upgrades
According to McLarens socials Piastri had a lap removed for track limits, didn't see on the broadcast though and i don't if it would've got him to Q3
Perez deleted! No way!
Lando was on used tyres there, wow
Man, many times getting deleted after minutes. That could get spicy after a session
Red Bulls still 9th and 10th after losing both times.
De Vries getting shot out back after the race.
I have to leave right before Q3 starts by the way :( This better be uneventful
You'll miss the Albon pole :(
I will not open Lemmy until I get back and watch it with a nice delay.
Perez doing the danger zone again
Perez only 0.06 behind Verstappen! Looks like he is alive after all.
Nobody is going to have any fresh tires left for tomorrow at this pace.
Oh shit Perez lost his time and he only has time for one run. THIS IS CHAOS.
Max will lose that time, track limits
Yeah that was too wide I'd say.
BUGFIXRENDER
New F1 bug!
If the Haas had race pace, they'd be scoring good points more regularly.
Hamilton is really showing Russell who's boss the last few races
So... is this McLaren upgrade actually working or will they fall off during the race?
Track dependant, they are always been strong here + Updates help as well
