I think everyone in a battle trying to brake to be the second to cross the detection line is a funny gimmick but it'll get old pretty quick

Guys have been doing that since they first introduced DRS tho.

At :49 they are both trying to be second at the DRS detection zone.

F1 is back in Australia :unsmith: I will be there on the Friday. I'm excited for the track changes, particularly the removal of the chicane at Turn 9/10.

Now we just need one of the Ocon, Alonso or Norris to get unwell so Piastri can drive :australia: :australia:

Also, gently caress the FIA ban on military flyovers, what a joke. The RAAF F18s buzzing the city was one of the highlights of the weekend.

Nah, the only people who should give a gently caress about the military are the people in it and their families, quit glorifying that waste of money

Woah I didn't expect that reaction, but fair enough, sorry :( I didn't really think about it from the military part of it, I just like loud expensive machines going fast and you never see the RAAF at any events except F1.

I might be misremembering but I seem to recall flyovers at events aren't a waste of money, or at least not as big as it may seem. Military pilots need to do a minimum amount of sorties every year just to stay in practice, and flyovers at grands prix and so on double for that function. So by getting rid of them, depending on the country, there's a chance that the pilots will still do that flight, just somewhere else or on another day, because otherwise they don't get their minimum amount of hours per year.

Would have been interesting if sainz could have had a fair shot at max at the sc restart without Perez getting in the way, that was some bullshit. I like Perez but that should have been a penalty. Otherwise why not just overtake the field during sc, screw the restart to help your team mate, then let everyone back - no harm everyone!

Leclerc clearly had max worked out, but he had to be lucky everytime, the redbull car has enough over performance to only need to be lucky once.

Red bull getting owned by the dummy was hilarious.

Yeah the military worship needs to be reined in and I’m surprised F1 stopped it considering all the other poo poo they’re prepared to let slide.

Hopefully it can be halted before the weird stuff like skydiving into football stadiums with giant flags spreads outside the USA to the rest of the world.

Did the military just stop paying or did f1 actually stop it? A lot of this poo poo is recruitment efforts.

I am glad it’s gone but let’s not pretend it wasn’t about money.

F1 stopped it because they claimed it was bad for the carbon footprint of the event, but also they don’t want the dictatorships they insist on racing in to use the event as a parade of military hardware.

It seems like Checo somehow gets screwed every time and Max somehow gets the benefit of safety car every time. It's like he somehow stole all of Checo's potential safety car luck
