“Hey, Leclerc, how do you feel about plan E, G, H and I?”
Brundle: “Ferrari with a whole filing cabinet of plans, again…”.
But wait, now the cars will race eachother.
Edit: wow, they acted reasonable this time.
It seemed like Ferrari had started being competent with their strategy. But this race seems to be showing that they’ve still got a few mistakes up their sleeves.
They shouldn’t have left Leclerc out there.
At a moment when basically their chances of a podium were gone. Too little too late.
Traditions.
I loved that fan’s reaction. I hope they came together.
Norris leading driver of the day for losing a place vs someone who gained 5 spots to win is so weird.
people were hoping he could perhaps score his first win
A controversial question, is Hamilton back❓❓❓
Abu Dhabi 2021 lurking from around the corner, looking to make a comeback…
It has Hamilton and Leclerc disqualified because their cars failed inspection.
Ooh, the world’s biggest douche is attending, too (Elon).
biggest douche at a douchebag convention? NAW!
really all this go fast turn left bullshit is hilarious. the world is on fire. climate scientists are running out of hyperbolic words to describe it.
and there are always some fucks that are like, hell yeah, let’s burn gas faster! to race around in squiggly circles!
and you fuckwits just eat it all up.
You’re talking about nascar, buddy. Anyways, it really is time to take your meds now.
still driving in circles over the graves of your own future generations. very smart.
That doesn’t make a lot of sense. You should really take the advice I gave you.
I was wondering who would host him, looked like Merc?
Merc had prince Harry. Would be shocked if they had multiple high profile guests. Just from a logistics - must be nightmare being concerned for multiple ones.
It was Merc who had both Harry and Musk.
Yeah. Just found a news article that confirmed them both as merc guests while Elon was a Red Bull guest last May.
Musk now owes the broadcast team a horse after that sucking off they just gave him.
Max not lovin’ his brakes. Still, starting to build a gap now.
Nice to see Ricciardo still on the same form as before.
Checo will sleep a little easier tonight
Yeap, and Lawson rubbing his hands together, with an ominous look on his face.
First race back, limited practice time, bad strategy. He’s got a lot to prove, but it’s a bit harsh to judge him on this race.
Please no talking, I’m braking
I’ve used that twice today with my wife - also an F1 fan. When she asks me something I just go “no talking I’m braking” and she gets super mad.
He really can’t stress that enough!
The last one was bad.
Seems like he was really not liking his brakes at the end there, and I can only imagine what it’s like to have a voice pop into your ear while feathering a brake pedal going ~300 kph.
Norris pitted? Wow.
Everyone else probably gonna pit as well.
Hey, at least red bull is actually being forced to react to other teams now!
Looks like Hamilton will be able to turn this into a win if his pace can last.
Has there been any hard tyre running this weekend? How good are the hards?
No running on the hards, I think? At least not enough to know how they’ll hold up. Only one practice session, with focus on qualifying, and only mediums and softs were run in the sprint.
It will be interesting to see how long they can go on the hards then.
That was a great race. Big 2021 reminder to me. I know max had issues and a bad quali, but it was exciting to see him have to work for this one
Close one there towards the end. Two more laps and Hamilton would’ve had it.
So, how many laps before Max is back on P1?
My money is on 10. Just to be cautious, he’ll lose a place or 2 at the start, and then he’ll start overtaking about one car per lap.
It should take at least a pit stop if he can even do it. Both Sainz and Russell should logically put everything in stopping Verstappen from overtaking to maximize the chances of their teammates.
Edit: well if the other drivers still think they don’t need to race him he will win ofcourse. I don’t get why Sainz wasn’t defending a lot harder though.
