Rapidcreek ( @Rapidcreek@reddthat.com ) English5•7 months agoBetter race than I expected. LeClerc’s pass on Perez was not anticipated
_ed ( @_ed@sopuli.xyz ) English2•7 months agoIt sucked for Leclerc with the timing of the yellow and the fact that Verstappen car seemed damage proof, but be able to challenge on older tyres and get past must have been a confidence boost.
Perez was soooooo surprised
_ed ( @_ed@sopuli.xyz ) English3•7 months agoThat race was enoyable some interesting overtakes, I’d rate it higher than Saudi Arabia on my street circuit list (based on the one race…)
johnjamesautobahn ( @johnjamesautobahn@beehaw.org ) English2•7 months agoInteresting conditions with teams seeming to struggle for grip against a cold track without much rubber built up from early runs, leading to contact and close calls.
Piastri had a strong run near the lead and may have been hamstrung by strategy, certainly had a better race than Norris however.
Still can’t figure out the intent behind Verstappen’s relatively meager 5sec penalty for the first lap shenanigans.
