TROPHY FOR THE HERO OF RACE!
What a legend 😂
God, I love Alonso radio. So funny.
This one was almost too painful to be funny.
I agree, but it's just so easy to vicariously live through Alonso's frustrated radio messages. I'm sure many of us would like to talk to our bosses and managers the same way 😂
Watch a SC come out in perfect timing to let Stroll finish in the points too and Alonso might actually become the Joker.
Imagine if Hamilton or Verstappen said that. The internet would call them whiny bitches.
Other people might say other things about other drivers.
I think I'd find it relatively funny if anybody said it, but obviously different drivers saying the same thing is a bit different because of the context of who they are and how they act normally.
yeah that was a funny one
McLaren really opened up a can of worms with that driver swap in Monza. Expecting similar team radio requesting swaps until the end of the season.
Sauber deploying genius pit lane strats by letting tires roll into the fast lane 😂
Good grief McLaren what is going on with your pit stops.
Brother this Aston team is killing me. All that from Alonso for a ten second stop, fuck me.
Jesus that Colapinto Vs The World battle was stressful!
So are we gonna ask Norris to slow down for three seconds because Piastri had a bad stop or that's not how it works this time?
Also Bearman, what a move!!!!
Nah this was a planned slow stop to give Zach's number one driver the edge he deserves. All according to plan.
Mm I'm not sure there's a conspiracy against Oscar; most of McLaren's slowest pitstops have been for Norris, for instance.
I was just making a joke. It's pretty clear Zak and Norris have a special relationship and you can see Zak get much happier whenever Norris wins compared to Oscar. But no, any match fixing conspiracy that they have Oscar have a slow stop on purpose is obviously nonsense.
Oh I see lol, sorry, I assumed you could be serious because there are some out there that believe that!
Look at this shot of Piastri noticing McLaren celebrating the WCC without him and you might understand where the jokes come from.

Always love an unhappy Stroll radio to be honest 😂 that was a proper tight squeeze from Verstappen on Norris there, very clenchy moments!
His voice is always so high pitched when complaining.
Hoping it'll be a good race to justify me having to wake up at 5 AM 😅
That's a big ask considering it's Singapore.
Verstappen holding off Lando til the end was impressive.
Very impressed by Lando there, thank god for some actual racing - Piastri is whinging a bit but to be totally fair the McLaren team have been fannies by making him switch back for a bad pit stop for Lando before so I don't blame him for asking 🤷♂️
I would love to be a fly during McLaren's debrief.
haha! so true
Yessss Oscar has finally stopped playing the team game by the sounds of it! Put Lando in the dirt, Piastri 💪
Sadly Piastri seems to have forgotten that he has to drive fast today.
Damn I was having high hope for Hadjar
Hadjar helping out Verstappen while being lapped is just one of the things that make Red Bull so hard to root for.
I kind of missed that I think, how did he help out? I thought Hadjar let both cars pass at the same time?
Got told on the radio to help out Verstappen and especially make sure he got DRS to defend.
Damn, Russel is unstoppable.
He is still somehow underrated. I think he's pretty clearly the second best driver on the grid currently, behind Max.
Lando, Oscar had a slow pit, would you mind slowing down a bit.
Meatball for Norris? 🤔
Typical Max
next lap
Let's go!
half way
Do Aston feel like the Hards are so bad here that they want to extend this Soft into a Medium? Or are they just hoping for a SC?
maybe SC or tire management issue from the previous session ?
Safety car?
Solid Russel so far
