Ollie GOATman
I screamed when he overtook Max! 😅
Quick with that lmao
🤣
Where's my mariachi theme? I waited the whole season for it! 🥲
Edit: THERE IT IIIIIIIS!!!
It's here now!
They finally got it for the grid line up! Good times!
Russell: I can get podium
loses track position to Piastri
10s penalty for Hamilton oof oof oof.
Commencing Bearman podium hopium.
Never change, Crofty.
The man talks utter nonsense I love it
Mega chaos! Hamilton and Verstappen brawling it out. Bearman taking great advantage of the chaos and making it to P4.
Aaaand a 10s penalty for Hamilton.
such bullshit. Verstappen was basically playing bumper cars forcing people off the track at the start of the race and he gets nothing.
F1 is owned by Americans now. Why would the one that brings in viewers and therefore money get punished for anything?
i haven't switched off a race in at least 5 years. But I turned that shit off so fast when they said verstappen wasn't getting a penalty for that crap. I don't think I can continue to watch this utter horse shit.
Why was Lando being booed?
Because the social media f1 hivemind decided piastri is the good guy and norris is the bad guy
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA VSC
Fuck..
Read the room, Sainz ^/s^
He read it beautifully. "Had a shit weekend, might aswell help my ol' buddy Chuck."
Wild start wew!
Disaster for Piastri.
I'm extremely disappointed they didn't have the theme song by a marriachi band this year.
And as I am typing they switched to it. Figures
Max doing some rally in the grass 😆
Big big gamble with the 2 stop. Let's see how it goes.
Norris has a mad 23s lead.
I just hope the stewards don't decide what the consequences of all of this is after the race...
Omg divine VSC intervention.
I was so disappointed. You watch lap after lap Verstappen catching Leclerc and when you're ready for the fight the VSC comes out and just ruins everything.
Hey Charles deserves a smidgen of luck sometimes too
Maybe I’m wrong, but it looked like the yellow flag in sector 3 gave an advantage to Verstappen, as the gap went from 1,1-1,2s to 0,6s right before the straight. We know how cheeky Max is with Safety Cars, or maybe Leclerc lifted more than necessary
I don't mind Charles finishing ahead, I just wanted a fight.
That was a great move from Oscar, and a great display of coolness from George. Also, LOL for Kimi's request to swap positions.
Nah it’s justified. Russel said he would swap back if he couldn’t catch Bearman, which he didn’t on both the mediums and the softs. Anything else would be unfair.
Absolutely. I was talking about the timing the radio message was broadcasted.
Softs AND mediums on the grid? Wowza.
Again doing the thing where they’re showing the popular guy doing nothing on the big screen and an actual battle on the small one. Can’t they just swap for a few seconds so the viewers can actually see the action?
They kind of have to show the race leader cross the finish line. Annoying rule but happens all the time
This was when Verstappen was 3 seconds behind Leclerc
If it's 3 seconds that's not too bad
Not letting the drivers celebrate with their teams?
They've always parked up at the stadium at the end of the race.
Didn’t know that. Weird
".. Stroll hasn't scored points here since 2017" - ouch.
Edit: "and dropping to the back of the field is Lance Stroll"
Come on, that was ridiculous.
I would like to know by how much Carlos was speeding in the pit lane.
Not sure this was a good idea for Bearman given Norris’ first stint and Verstappen’s tyre management skills. I think he would’ve had better chances defending on track.
GOOOOOOO OSCAR!
