Man, I am so excited to see Lando and the updated McLaren have a great weekend. It looks to have us potentially in the mix with Merc and AM. Psyched to see Oscar get the new car next weekend too.

Being faster than the Merc and keeping tow on the Ferrari was great to see. Silverstone is going to be interesting. Upgrades proved they're good at high speed; how will they handle with the turns coming into Becketts?.
I noticed all weekend Norris did a lot of deep braking into wider entries. It looked like understeer but snapped in late and powered out fast.
Edit: Oh, not to forget a mention for all the McLaren fans in the crowd sporting papaya shirts and flares. Austria turning it up for McLaren once again. And congrats to that Max guy :P
Unless Alpine improves McLaren have a good chance of catching them in the constructor's.
What a flex to do the last pit for the fastest lap
That was class. Not needed at all for the DC, RBR already has the CC and Perez is banking the point, and all it takes is a grumpy lug nut to lose those few extra seconds.... "Nah, let's sweep again."
Also, hell yeah for Lando's DotD. Austria giving us awesome racing once again.
Imagine how Charles felt seeing Max come out of the pits and weaving to get heat into the tires. The dominance of RBR in all regards is impressive.
Really happy Lando got the DOTD and not Checo βBin it in quali and almost make up for it during the raceβ Perez
Lando was probably happy to see all the Papaya supporters in the stands too lol
Completing those side-quests!
So mad to see, if you're behind Verstappen and you see him do that, it's gotta hit you a little bit
Please don't spoil the races in the title or picture. Just make a thread like "austria gp discussion". Everyone who watched it knows the results. Otherwise I'll have to leave this community I'm afraid.

Maybe for the future use a generic title and have the results table/image attached? Something like "Austria Grand Prix 2023 Results". Just until we get spoiler tags.
If this was any other season I might agree with you. π€£
Lol fair this year not even really a spoiler!

Spoiling races was the one thing I hoped we would leave with Reddit. I mean, considering the current state of F1 Max winning isn't really a surprise. That doesn't make it okay. When/if Lemmy supports Spoiler tags, I hope we can enforce this rules for at least the first 24 hours after a race.

There were as many 5s penalties as in normal league race in f1 game on RedBull ring with rigorous cutting setting lol
huh
Iβm going to have to leave this community. Living in the US I watch these races on time delay. If mods are going to spoil races like this in my feed, Iβm out.

Some really great racing in the midfield, really highlights to me that the track matters so much for good racing
Too many street tracks so far this year has made it feel a bit of a snoozefest
This track really produces exciting racing. It's nice to see it'll be on the calendar until at least 2030.
Can we not do this whole βX wins the raceβ thing please? Or at the very least use a generic title without spoilers. This shows up in the /all feed and spoils literally everyone who canβt watch the race live. (Even though we kind of know who will win these days)
Wow, that was a lot closer than I expected! Leclerc only finished about three seconds behind Verstappen!
^/s
Hah. Poor Leclerc
AH SPOILER
...okay, maybe not really a spoiler
Spoiler got me too, though I'm lowkey glad redbull are still winning because at round 2-3 I slapped a 19:1 bet on red bull to win every race of the season lol
Poor showing from alpine after their investment news. They're sooo inconsistent.
Great weekend for Norris and glad to see Leclerc on the podium. Max was once again untouchable to the surprise of no one.

Fantastic comeback drive by Perez. Hope it gives him the confidence heβs been lacking as of late.
Also second week without a horrific Ferrari strategy fuckup right? I wonder if that bodes well for them in the future.
Carlos' car didn't erupt in flames this time, so that's a sign of moving in the right direction. His defence on Perez was excellent too. A deserved podium spot for them.
I'm just glad it's over and I don't have to listen to Hamilton whinging about everyone else's track limits
What happened to that last 5 second penalty for Perez? Does that take him off the podium? The gap to Sainz was less than that.
It was just a black and white flag, no? Not a penalty
Might it be possible to put spoiler warnings in the headline? This showed up in my /all feed and I was going to watch the highlights on TV this evening
Really fun race, Lots of action! Max with the third stop and hearting up his tires a bit before smashing the fastest lap was insanity. Strong drive from Checo βThe Intimidatorβ Perez as well! Will be exciting to see how Norris looks in this upgraded McClaren in his home Grand Prix with how rapid the car looked today
