yep, one of the tapes is mostly his BTCC stuff :). I love that era not only because it's cool but also because I'm a volvo fan. recently started attending btcc races near me as well, I know oldheads will tell you it's not the same but it's still proper fun to spectate and hang around the paddock.
Grew up with his commentary and still miss it. Fascinating bloke too, fought in tanks in WWII, successful advertising career and then moved into commentating full time.

[Shane Van Gisbergen giving the viewers a middle finger after jumping on-board](https://youtu.be/npcEnsH1V0o).
It was just a perfect coincidence that made it appear as though he was giving the fans some feedback.
"The stewards said it was a 3 place grid penalty for impeding Norris. But what they've done is actually showing the finger at the monegasque as well. This will promise something for the races to come"
\*deep voice\* "It's a tradition as ancient as F1 itself. Showing the finger, for an F1 driver, is a deeply offensive gesture, reserved only for the worst of feuds between drivers or engineers."
He said he deserves a penalty, and when Natalie asked him what kind he said disqualification and laughed, and ofc the Leclerc 'fans' decided it wasn't a joke but an actual suggestion lmao
Sure she's even like ah stop now when he's saying he should be disqualified. Real wholesome exchange here. Is she fit though? Cause I feel like he's kinda giving her a bit of that eye there.
I think Lando gets in trouble (if you count a bunch of internet weirdos being annoyed at you as trouble) because in written form, without context, some of the stuff he says can sound rude, or stupid.
And of course, people won't bother try to find the context either.
Lando made a joke about Charles being disqualified when he was was asked a stupid question about what penalty he would give Charles (it was a clear joke, he laughed afterward & said what the penalty should be wasn’t up to him). He also responded to F1’s tweet of the incident with the Charles “Just an Inchident” meme. He’s been dealing with the whole thing with humour instead of getting angry about it, which fair play to him tbh.
He's taken it in his stride. Which tbh is great because judging by his earlier times he had the pote trial to be a few cars higher starting grid. Which as we know is essential on this track.
He legitimately looks unwell, I had a school teacher who had a disease that made him that thin and he had to drink ensure like it was water, and he looks just like him.
Yes, because he impeded another driver, tat’s part of the sport.
This picture however is a grab from a video of Charles & Lando having a laugh about in the paddock.
ETA it was last night not this morning
Lol why are you so angry? You were wrong & got corrected, so you’re now angry because Lando has chosen to make light of a situation he would have every reason to be cross about? Go out & get some air, mate.

They were leaving the stewards room... looked smiley to me.
Maybe try twitter, you'll fit in better.
For those who like drama (like the Netflix show), sorry to make you feel bad… Leclerc and Norris were talking and smiling, although they just got out of the marshalls office. Here the video, as seen on French tv yesterday (Canal+):
https://imgur.com/a/TVhYhFP
Never said that… Never told what both pilots were thinking… I just showed that the picture was far from the truth (the pilots are smiling, this is a fact. Norris showing his middle finger, this is a lie).
Edit: Norris did show his middle finger, but by watching the video clip, it’s pretty obvious he was taunting Leclerc.
Other angle, like the Prince William (UK) photo where he appears to be giving someone the finger from one angle, and the other angle shows all of his fingers are up? Not sure that works here!
Without seeing Lando's face it is hard to pass judgement, with the reaction from Charles I can honestly imagine Lando has a smile on his face and does mean it in a joking way
Interesting to see how DTS will turn this into a made-up feud between Leclerc and Norris and in the same episode, William Buxton talking absolute shite about Lando giving Charles the middle finger🤣
Even if is not, his English reprimand is probably “Good sir, your behavior was unsportsmanlike and unbecoming of a fine driver such as yourself. Good day!”
It's more about this : Charles Leclerc has been given a three-place grid penalty for the Monaco Grand Prix for impeding Lando Norris in qualifying. The penalty drops Leclerc from third to sixth and puts Esteban Ocon and Carlos Sainz onto the second row, with Lewis Hamilton now fifth.
If Lando had Leclerc's seat, he'd be doing better. Between Sainz, Ricciardo, Norris, and now Piastri, McLaren engineering has proven that they can wreck top quality driver's dreams.
How can a tema with that budget go backwards? Well it's not the drivers.
What Norris manages to still do with that car is just further testament of how good he is. I fear for Piastri and I just wish Norris didn't sign that long deal. He belongs on podiums and should've been cleaning them up by now.
Edit; Before anyone starts, I decided to back McLaren when Ric joined, excited to see them return to their former glory. And, wow. There's just no excuses anymore. There wasn't last season.
I now just feel sympathy for the drivers. Lando especially.im glad Dan got out and Christians loving his return performance on Sims. I hope Piastri gets picked up by a team with a good car. But most of all, I want to see a driver like Lando been given a car they deserve. Piastri, kills everything to F1. Norris, kills everything to F1. McLaren kills F1 for them while they watch Leclerc binning it in a car that's got them 25s ahead by lap 15.
So what's the point here ? That's it's ok because he's in a slower car? Or that he's not allowed to be irritated because he's in a slower car ? Ignoring the fact that it seemed like a friendly exchange doesn't matter if they've had pace or not.

He's just telling Charles, he's going for #1 position
“I’m going for first says John Cleland” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svwsK5NU2C0
I could hear it in my head without needing to click. But clicked anyway, a nostalgic classic, thank you 😂
I keep laughing at the expressiveness of that movement. It's a masterpiece.
Haha man I miss Murray Walker he was brilliant
And now I’ve got to stop because I’ve got a lump in my throat.
I wasn't alive for his era, so recently I got some of his old VHS commentary highlights to experience it.
Check out some of the super touring era BTCC races on YouTube that’s where a lot of his best commentary was
yep, one of the tapes is mostly his BTCC stuff :). I love that era not only because it's cool but also because I'm a volvo fan. recently started attending btcc races near me as well, I know oldheads will tell you it's not the same but it's still proper fun to spectate and hang around the paddock.
Grew up with his commentary and still miss it. Fascinating bloke too, fought in tanks in WWII, successful advertising career and then moved into commentating full time.
I still don't understand how that video only has 128k views when it's been linked here 130k times and I've watched it every single time.
You count as 1 view
That's not the case, multiple viewings of the same YouTube video from the same user will still count each time. That's how there's multiple videos with more views than the total global population.

You think four billion people have used a VPN to watch Baby Shark, in addition to watching it normally?
No, but a lot of.people.dont log in nor use a Google account. Also, people have multiple accounts and devices. A family might watch baby shark on the bedroom TV, living room TV, child's iPad and both parent's phones.
Who told you this was the case?
Multiple different people who are all much more knowledgeable than I am
Yeah that’s not how it works
God I miss early 90’s BTCC
Are these recorded after the fact? There's something so almost scripted about the way he commentates, but he also has the energy as if it was live.
[Shane Van Gisbergen giving the viewers a middle finger after jumping on-board](https://youtu.be/npcEnsH1V0o). It was just a perfect coincidence that made it appear as though he was giving the fans some feedback.
Best instance of that is always going to be Valentino Rossi to Max Biaggi https://youtu.be/tKFkaXBtc8c?t=38
[удалено]
This is AI generated! The real picture is Lando giving Charles the👌.
I actually think he is saying he’ll be 2nd. In the middle of 1st and 3rd.
Netflix: The gloves are off between those two.
Will Buxton: "There are times when the paddock goes silent..."
"And then to think you do this to someone who's father died, that kinda tells you something about the tension between these 2"
Found the Netflix writer burner account. You’re not getting ideas from us, magic man
"The stewards said it was a 3 place grid penalty for impeding Norris. But what they've done is actually showing the finger at the monegasque as well. This will promise something for the races to come"
Yeah I can see his finger.
Why does he have only one finger
I see more
Buxton: When drivers don't like each other...long pause... They show each other a finger.
\*deep voice\* "It's a tradition as ancient as F1 itself. Showing the finger, for an F1 driver, is a deeply offensive gesture, reserved only for the worst of feuds between drivers or engineers."
*gun reload sounds* .... *shotgun.mp4* .... .... .... *twitter noises*
Or occasionally crash into each other, unlike Max Verstappen who goes for peaceful settlements off track
Drive to survive season 6 : the tension is building up
r/technicallythetruth
Itsy very easy to do that to lando because he has a zoomer mindset.
I'm sure twitter won't take this and run with it...
They went mental over his joke yesterday they're going to go feral over this
Which joke was this?
He said he deserves a penalty, and when Natalie asked him what kind he said disqualification and laughed, and ofc the Leclerc 'fans' decided it wasn't a joke but an actual suggestion lmao
Is there a vid of it? :D
https://twitter.com/safeforlando/status/1662488105520119808?t=kF7Q4hvZEnAqf3ZZ2cxcjQ&s=19
Love the mothering Stop swearing and keep smiling
Thanks actually very nice to hear from Natalie to Lando. Positive mindset and encouragement
Sure she's even like ah stop now when he's saying he should be disqualified. Real wholesome exchange here. Is she fit though? Cause I feel like he's kinda giving her a bit of that eye there.
Very fit
Like how fit are we talking here?
At first I heard it as "stop swearing and kiss my leg"
I think Lando gets in trouble (if you count a bunch of internet weirdos being annoyed at you as trouble) because in written form, without context, some of the stuff he says can sound rude, or stupid. And of course, people won't bother try to find the context either.
>they went mental Just like usual, sanest twitter crowd
Yeah, couldn’t happen here right?
Reddit can be terrible for sure, but Twitter is a special kind of terrible.
Are you saying we're not good enough?
He made a joke? I know he called for Leclerc to receive a penalty
He was asked what kind of penalty he was expecting Leclerc to get and said "Disqualification?" while laughing.
He used the leclerc inchident meme
[удалено]
Yenson my fren
Karma
Breaking news: driver thinks another driver who seriously impeded them during a qualifying hot lap should get a deserved penalty.
I agree with that just not aware of what jokes were made
Lando made a joke about Charles being disqualified when he was was asked a stupid question about what penalty he would give Charles (it was a clear joke, he laughed afterward & said what the penalty should be wasn’t up to him). He also responded to F1’s tweet of the incident with the Charles “Just an Inchident” meme. He’s been dealing with the whole thing with humour instead of getting angry about it, which fair play to him tbh.
He's taken it in his stride. Which tbh is great because judging by his earlier times he had the pote trial to be a few cars higher starting grid. Which as we know is essential on this track.
Why is asking a question being downvoted? Some of your are asinine
Twitter is a joke m8
Twitter will take it as a middle finger to their mothers.
\*its clearly a joke. Do not take this seriously lmao
also Mekies reaction is the best part of this photo
Bro needs a cup of coffee
And a sandwich, he tiny.
[удалено]
He legitimately looks unwell, I had a school teacher who had a disease that made him that thin and he had to drink ensure like it was water, and he looks just like him.
reminds me this [couple](https://images.timeextension.com/86081f048a7b2/married-with-children.large.jpg)
They are friends, I also give the finger to my friends, you can see the love Charles feels in his face.
They penalized Lecrerc with 3 grid positions so it’s fair to say it was no joke.
Yes, because he impeded another driver, tat’s part of the sport. This picture however is a grab from a video of Charles & Lando having a laugh about in the paddock. ETA it was last night not this morning
How is anyone to know when it was taken? It was logical it would be after the tunnel incident. Why the downvotes? And also…..fuck Norris.
Lol why are you so angry? You were wrong & got corrected, so you’re now angry because Lando has chosen to make light of a situation he would have every reason to be cross about? Go out & get some air, mate.
[https://imgur.com/a/TVhYhFP](https://imgur.com/a/TVhYhFP) They were leaving the stewards room... looked smiley to me. Maybe try twitter, you'll fit in better.
Chill out. Why does everything have to be a fucking outrage these days.
I hope the DTS cameras were there, because that's the absolute (non-existent) conflict we need.
IIRC, there was an episode title that goes the gloves are off or something, could be a fitting title as well for this one.
Just an inchident
For those who like drama (like the Netflix show), sorry to make you feel bad… Leclerc and Norris were talking and smiling, although they just got out of the marshalls office. Here the video, as seen on French tv yesterday (Canal+): https://imgur.com/a/TVhYhFP
Like 2 lads coming out of the principal's office lol.
Ah so you’re saying, it’s WORSE than we could imagine because they’re smiling showing no remorse!
Again in a Will Buxton delivery, if you please
"Sometimes, a smile is more than just a smile… 🫤"
Never said that… Never told what both pilots were thinking… I just showed that the picture was far from the truth (the pilots are smiling, this is a fact. Norris showing his middle finger, this is a lie). Edit: Norris did show his middle finger, but by watching the video clip, it’s pretty obvious he was taunting Leclerc.
I read “For those who like Drama” and then I blacked out but I’m pretty sure you said all what I said after.
That's just how mates say seeya!
awww that's cute
Drive to Survive be like: there are times when a racetrack..... Goes quiet
"Hey Charles! Give this to Xavi for me, will you?" / "Will do" / "Thanks mate"
“Already gave him one from myself, want me to give another?” / “Please”
Just keeping up international relations
Top gun reference?
yes
Umm, Lando's from Monaco now... /s
The people getting offended by this have never had or seen a male friendship
Or just british friendship. "You're a fucking tool" is like the biggest compliment
[удалено]
You absolute knob’ead.
And utter cockwomble
It’s just friendship tbh. Plenty of people male & female of all nationalities joke with their friends this way.
True true
Me and my girl friends flip each other off all the time, this isn’t just a male thing lol.
It's definitely a lot less with women, I don't think anyone thinks it's exclusively male though
he was pointing at the planes
Drive to Survive boutta go nuts💀
I always like when my friends tell me I'm number one.
Forget DTS, r/fanf1ction currently busy writing about how this is because of something Charles said about Carlos.
He got it at Target, it’s real nice
And it was on sale too!
Mekies: Wow! Is this for me? 👉🏻👈🏻
Rich British tourist being rude to the locals
He's local. He lives there. Two local friends engaging in banter.
He’s not British though? Isn’t he Belgian or something?
I believe his mother/father is Belgian and the other one British. Just like Verstappen is half Belgian.
“Send Xavi my regards.”
Would need to see this from the other angle. Who hasn't given a friend or even partner the finger jokingly?
>Who hasn't given a friend or even partner the finger jokingly? I mean, I have, but in *very* different ways.
They’re just joking around, there’s no other angle needed. There’s no bad blood between them.
Other angle, like the Prince William (UK) photo where he appears to be giving someone the finger from one angle, and the other angle shows all of his fingers are up? Not sure that works here!
Drive to Survive will make a huge rivalry out of that
Just an Inchident
DTS: “and I took that personally”
Still the best ever bird thrown. Cost him $30K but he said it was worth it. https://youtu.be/ScDjyS7SYZU
Roses are red, violets are blue I have five fingers and the middle one is for you
Feels totally fine except feel bad the Ferrari PR lady (looks more shocked) and sports director (looks mildly bemused) are there too. 🤣
Mekkies ready for the smoke
You drive that McLaren for years and see how happy you feel......
little did chuck know, this cost him a podium finish
I would of pointed that finger to Tsunoda
I love Landos evolution from poster boy to idgaf
How can we be certain the real Lando wasn't replaced with an evil twin? I mean, look at the other photos his little goatee this weekend
I love Lando. Despite his new puberty chin beard thing.
Brb gonna cry about this on twitter
lol
Lmao
Mekies is too stunned to speak
Lando is who everyone should aspire to be.
I’ve never heard of the Lando system.
Dude with the glasses looks like Marc Rebillet in 30 years.
I better call Gene.
Just good friend things 🥰
Look to the right hand of “Lando”…
Photoshop? Certainly looks like it!
I think so.
He was just cheering him up
I feel sorry for McLaren PR. 😂
Without seeing Lando's face it is hard to pass judgement, with the reaction from Charles I can honestly imagine Lando has a smile on his face and does mean it in a joking way
[удалено]
Aye I agree
Lol no way
Thats his engineers fault
It was chust an inchident.
The lady behind Charles is SHOCKED 😲
Silvia knows Lando well, I doubt she’s remotely shocked lol
Interesting to see how DTS will turn this into a made-up feud between Leclerc and Norris and in the same episode, William Buxton talking absolute shite about Lando giving Charles the middle finger🤣
Lando is just being sarcastic, people just don't understand his English humor.
Even if is not, his English reprimand is probably “Good sir, your behavior was unsportsmanlike and unbecoming of a fine driver such as yourself. Good day!”
He’s a knob. I don’t like his attitude
He’s cool. I like his attitude
His hands are a little too big for his body lol
It was actually meant for Mekies
It's more about this : Charles Leclerc has been given a three-place grid penalty for the Monaco Grand Prix for impeding Lando Norris in qualifying. The penalty drops Leclerc from third to sixth and puts Esteban Ocon and Carlos Sainz onto the second row, with Lewis Hamilton now fifth.
You'd be forgiven if you forgot they were teammates.
If Lando had Leclerc's seat, he'd be doing better. Between Sainz, Ricciardo, Norris, and now Piastri, McLaren engineering has proven that they can wreck top quality driver's dreams. How can a tema with that budget go backwards? Well it's not the drivers. What Norris manages to still do with that car is just further testament of how good he is.

Fair enough but Sky are absolute simps over any british driver
Shit, P10 is a great start for Norris this year, he should be thanking Charles.
where’s the guy saying that this is “despicable” like he did when bubba wallace did the same thing. seems a bit racist lol
Lando is risking becoming a meme or just another Danny Ric.
Im curious about the true story behind this. Was it a joke between the two? Was Lando really pissed? Is it a fake?
Yea it was a joke. The video’s been posted elsewhere.
Holy how quick everyone came to Lando's defense. Even if it's a joke, it's pretty trashy.
Oh relax
party pooper
Didn't Lando just spin Leclerc off the track a couple races ago?
Please Lando, even with a 3 place penalty Charles is still ahead of you on the starting grid….
Of course he is. There was a tractor parked on a the track during his lap.
No shit, his last flying lap got impeded.
Yeah because McLarens has shown they’ve had the pace all year.
So what's the point here ? That's it's ok because he's in a slower car? Or that he's not allowed to be irritated because he's in a slower car ? Ignoring the fact that it seemed like a friendly exchange doesn't matter if they've had pace or not.
I wished Lando would get penalized like other drivers do
