This is much like gambling: High expectations, but it always ends with disappointment. Welcome to Vegas!

What the hell is the point of this race. It is making me not want to watch the rest of the season. Everything is all clinched up anyway.

I live one time zone away from this track and I can't watch any of it because it is all past my bedtime.

It is a NASCAR race because the only reason to watch it is for the crashes.

[โ€“] June@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea, Iโ€™m only watching this race for the shitshow and to see Checo beat Max.

That would be pretty nice to see but even with his street skills I think Checo's smooth driving is going to keep him from keeping his tires hot. Max is going to be better at keeping heat in the tires.

I'm sure many people know of this, but if notโ€“ this is easily my favorite manhole cover story. Potentially the fastest man-made object with mass ever is a humble manhole cover. Also a potential wrecker of F1 cars!

The corners look to come straight from a cheap indoor karting track. They're there because they need to be and don't allow fun or interesting driving. Combined with the gaudy surroundings the commentators are being forced to say is spectacular this looks like such a dumb track. Isn't Vegas in the desert or something? They should have a built a new track outside of the city.

[โ€“] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

9 minutes..3 cars damaged by manhole cover issue? Wtf

[โ€“] Hr24@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Which was the third? Sainz, Ocon and ?

[โ€“] Hr24@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who's was the third? Sainz, Ocon and?

[โ€“] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Commentators said Zhou too

[โ€“] Hr24@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Amazing. I was expecting a shit show, but this has exceeded those expectations.

[โ€“] D2Rave@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Well... Looks like Max was right, all show, no racing.

[โ€“] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that was a fucking waste of everyone's time.

[โ€“] davetapley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If you have F1TV you can eek out another five minutes of action watching Sainz' onboard, as his car is loaded on a flat bed.

[โ€“] essteeyou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
