Ooh, the world’s biggest douche is attending, too (Elon).
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.
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.
Please no talking, I’m braking
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.
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.
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
“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.
Traditions.
At a moment when basically their chances of a podium were gone. Too little too late.
Mercedes have messed this up.
Lewis is losing time hand over fist on these tyres, and they will lose time hand over fist on the last few laps of a hard tyre.
They gonna lose way more than a pitstop.
Don’t understand why they have committed to the strategy with both cars
on TV they are acting like its the counter-max strategy, but they should be worrying more about Ferrari and the constructors, not worrying about chasing the pink elephant that is Max
THIS is why I’m not a DS :D
Who is more screwed though Mercedes or McLaren? They both seem to have gone all in on the hards.
McClaren will pit again I think, they didn’t really have the tyres to put Norris on anything but hards for this stint
I think you’re right Hamilton is catching. He will need to pit again to beat Mercedes.
Close one there towards the end. Two more laps and Hamilton would’ve had it.
Hehe, “he just needs to follow Max, so he’ll be fine”.
Horner on Perez’s chances in the race.
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.
Alonso up to 9th from a pit lane start. Great stuff. Whatever “upgrades” they brought on Friday were truly disastrous. Stroll up to 10th as well.
Hamilton slowly gaining on Norris. Will his tyres last till the end?
Noooooo I jinxed Alonso :(
Why did you do this? :(
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.
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
Musk now owes the broadcast team a horse after that sucking off they just gave him.
George: “Yup, I can make the tires last, I’ll just make really wide turns, like I’ve been doing” /s
Brewing to be a potentially interesting finish
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!
