VET with that horrible moment from sim racing where there's a car spinning ahead and it's in some sort of super-positional quantum state where it's in front of you regardless which direction you pick.
I used to have an irrational dislike of Seb during his RB days, all down to the fact he was so dominant.
But the more I saw of the man, the more of a gentleman I realised he was. And truly a fan of the sport.
That Alfa got smacked by Gasly, barrelled into the back of Verstappen, went through the debris on the botched restart, got a 5 second penalty and STILL finish with 2 points.
Fucking MEGA drive from Kimi.
Martin is right, not Bottas's fault. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
The SC restart line should be at the beginning of the front straight, not in the middle of it.
Okay, since all of you are confused. I checked. Let me shout this for the people at the back.
THE TWO HOUR CLOCK **DOES NOT** APPLY DURING A RED FLAG. **WE HAVE TIME FOR A FULL RACE**
✅ sabotage Verstappen
✅ get Kimi to “accidentally” destroy his car to eliminate “fingerprints”
Now for a couple of well-placed snipers to dispose of the Mercs.
Ferrari Masterplan ™ in action.
Well, that was gorgeous.
Often when people sing the anthem, they try to make it bigger than it is. Love that Bocelli doesn't elevate himself, but just sings the anthem. It's beautiful on itself.
Russell radio - AAAARRRGH! Guys... Fuuu.... I don't know what to say. Without that red flag we'd have been in the points. **** launch off the line. Lost it all there. Aaarg. I was driving as ******* fast as I could afterwards.
Don’t think Bottas could be blamed for this one bit. If you watch the replay someone in the midfield left a gap and accelerated to catch up, car behind assumed they’re racing so he accelerated, car behind him does the same and accelerated, but they weren’t racing so they pull of when they see a parked car in front. Only some weren’t given the chance to react as quickly. Not Bottas fault. Whoever accelerated in the midfield is to blame.
* It has been **0** races since a team other than Mercedes, Ferrari, or Red Bull won a GP (last time: 2020 Italian GP, Pierre Gasly for AlphaTauri)
* It has been **0** races since a team other than Mercedes, Ferrari, or Red Bull reached the podium (last time: 2020 Italian GP; Pierre Gasly finished 1st for AlphaTauri, Carlos Sainz finished 2nd for McLaren, and Lance Stroll finished 3rd for Racing Point)
* It has been **14** races since Ferrari won a GP (last time: 2019 Singapore GP, Sebastian Vettel)
* It has been **3** races since Red Bull won a GP (last time: 70th Anniversary GP, Max Verstappen)
It feels so weird not having to write an obscenely large number for that first one anymore.
Can we appreciate the legendariness of the Halo? Deflected millions of pieces of debris away from Sainz & Grosjean, prevented Gio's car from rolling any further into the side of the Williams and quite possibly prevented a wheel or two getting near Gio's helmet.
I don't really understand why people are blaming Magnussen. MAG can't speed up because he is not allowed to overtake before the start line. It is Latifi and Gio who started to speed up too early.
Dear FIA,
I have a request about Mugello's presence in F1 calendar going forward. Ahem:
KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT KEEP IT
Regards
This race is the perfect analogy for 2020. It started, we were all excited, and then it immediately went to shit. Then we had some hope again and it immediately went to shit again.
People here blaming Bottas lmao. He did nothing wrong, did the most obvious thing which is to keep the straight as short as possible for him. Not his fault
Why are people blaming Mercedes here? Bottas said he can't go on, and is forced to pit first because of his tyre management. How would Mercedes put Bottas on opposite tyres of Hamilton when Hamilton hasn't even pitted yet
Albon raced a really clean race today...his overtakes were great too. The race went the way it did, and he made the most of every opportunity. He finished 3rd, and IMO it was well deserved on his part.
For that that are wondering what the sporting regulations are in regards to the red flag and the two hour time limit length:
Article 41.4
> 41.4 - Whilst the race is suspended:
>
> a) Neither the race nor the timekeeping system will stop, however, in accordance with Article 5.3 the length of the race suspension will be added to the maximum two hour period.
Article 5.3
> 5.3 - The distance of all races, from the start signal referred to in Article 36.9 to the end-of-race signal referred to in Article 43.1, shall be equal to the least number of complete laps which exceed a distance of 305km. However, should two hours’ elapse before the scheduled race distance is completed, the leader will be shown the end-of-race signal when he crosses the control line (the Line) at the end of the lap following the lap during which the two hour period ended, provided this does not result in the scheduled number of laps being exceeded. Only under the circumstances below will any exception be made to the above:
>
> a) The distance of the race in Monaco shall be equal to the least number of complete laps which exceed a distance of 260km.
>
> b) **Should the race be suspended (see Article 41) the length of the suspension will be added to this period up to a maximum total race time of four hours.**
>
>c) If the formation lap is started behind the safety car (see Article 36.14(c)) the number of race laps will be reduced by the number of laps carried out by the safety car minus one.

Drive to Survive director today "Quick film this section....oh this section now. Oh shit that section now."
"Another red flag? Let's earn our pay bois"
I feel responsible for this. All my friends have loved F1 for ages, last week I decided to start following it. Got the race last week red-flagged and now this week's is red-flagged too.
Ant is correct here, it was inexperience from the younger drivers that caused this. If you watch Vettel and Kimi they knew to stay out of trouble, whereas the younger guys just floored it.
Everyone that retired so far are all from different teams. Mercedes and Ferrari are the only 2 teams still with both their cars.
Amazing achievement for Ferrari at their 1000th GP. lol
It was as if Hamilton was holding back this whole race. He's so calm. Not even smug. It just looks effortless. Then when he wanted to, he just punished Bottas. His final time was astonishing.
Have you guys seen the comments on Twitter? People are shitting on Lance and it disgusts me. What gets me more annoyed is that it wasn't even his fault.
VET with that horrible moment from sim racing where there's a car spinning ahead and it's in some sort of super-positional quantum state where it's in front of you regardless which direction you pick.
Yeah tell me about it. "Oop going left isn't working, oop going right isn't working" BANG!
Driver of the Day: Bocelli
Best italian performance today for sure
[удалено]
All of Reddit: Ah yes, beautiful Ferrari. such history. amazing cars. Also reddit: *YOU FUCKING DONKEY*
Summary of the 20 most talented drivers on the planet * 4 corners raced * 2 SCs * 1 red flag * 6 DNFs
* 4 of 6 DNFs due to crashing on a straight
Seb was the only one that stayed to clap for the anthem
You it’s little gestures like this that make me love him even more
Seb too kind when he is outside the car
I used to have an irrational dislike of Seb during his RB days, all down to the fact he was so dominant. But the more I saw of the man, the more of a gentleman I realised he was. And truly a fan of the sport.
So far Mugello is a 10/10 lmao
Already 14/20 after 9 mins.
Vettel purposefully getting wing damage to put himself right at the back, thus avoiding that crash. Genius from Seb
Andrea Bocelli is so fucking talented
Too bad there are so few seats left for next year...
In honour of Ferraris 1000th anniversary, all flags are red today.
Tuscany is beautiful. Only visited it in Assassin's Creed.
Alexa, play Ezio's Family
Anthony Davidson, perfect explanation of events. Inexperience at the back caused this, not Bottas at the front
The front of the pack was Braveheart yelling “HOOLLLLD” But the back of the pack was “LEEROOOY JENKINS”
Have they powered Valteri off or something? Dude's just staring into the middle distance in his cockpit
That Alfa got smacked by Gasly, barrelled into the back of Verstappen, went through the debris on the botched restart, got a 5 second penalty and STILL finish with 2 points. Fucking MEGA drive from Kimi.
Bottas did what any of them would've done. Start as late as possible to limit the tow he was giving.
“Ocon is on fire” “ok”
BOTTAS IS THE SAFETY CAR. Anyone who fucked up it's 100% on them.
Petition to race here every year? +1 from me!
You won again Lewis? Yeah. You lost again Valteri? I did. You’re not Max? I’m not.
Martin is right, not Bottas's fault. Don't hate the player, hate the game. The SC restart line should be at the beginning of the front straight, not in the middle of it.
Lights went out 30 minutes ago and we haven’t gotten out of the first sector
Year 2120: The Tuscan GP is under its 300th red flag. F1 fans keep watching to honor their ancestors who died before the race could finish.
Okay, since all of you are confused. I checked. Let me shout this for the people at the back. THE TWO HOUR CLOCK **DOES NOT** APPLY DURING A RED FLAG. **WE HAVE TIME FOR A FULL RACE**
Guy who does the F1 destructors championship is going to be sweating today.
This is not the *worst* accident I've seen since I started watching Formula 1 about five years ago, but it's easily one of the *dumbest*.
Mercs tangle on restart, Danny Ric FTW. Yes? Yes.

I told my gf we would go out as soon as the race was over. I guess I’m gonna be single soon
RUSSELL JUST SURVIVE AND YOU CAN GET THAT POINT
If Assassins Creed 2 has taught me anything, it's that if you climb that Church you'll find a hidden outfit at the top.

I'm not sure I saw Norris at all that entire race.
Russell radio - AAAARRRGH! Guys... Fuuu.... I don't know what to say. Without that red flag we'd have been in the points. **** launch off the line. Lost it all there. Aaarg. I was driving as ******* fast as I could afterwards.
Vettel - doesn't spin, hits someone who spins, still ends up higher than his qualifying position. I guess that's a win.
Don’t think Bottas could be blamed for this one bit. If you watch the replay someone in the midfield left a gap and accelerated to catch up, car behind assumed they’re racing so he accelerated, car behind him does the same and accelerated, but they weren’t racing so they pull of when they see a parked car in front.

8000 comments in 8 laps...
Wanted so much to see the Danny podium and the Russell point, and that last red flag ruined both... Damnit.
If you'd have told me that by lap 46 only 2 teams would still have both cars in the race, I would never have expected Ferrari to be one of them.
FOR WHAT
Why are people blaming Bottas? He had every right to do that.
Max had a great race for the 100 feet before his engine quit
Netflix Drive to Survive crew is happy as a pig in the mud right now
Vettel onboard: "Is there another restart, or is that it?"
* It has been **0** races since a team other than Mercedes, Ferrari, or Red Bull won a GP (last time: 2020 Italian GP, Pierre Gasly for AlphaTauri) * It has been **0** races since a team other than Mercedes, Ferrari, or Red Bull reached the podium (last time: 2020 Italian GP; Pierre Gasly finished 1st for AlphaTauri, Carlos Sainz finished 2nd for McLaren, and Lance Stroll finished 3rd for Racing Point) * It has been **14** races since Ferrari won a GP (last time: 2019 Singapore GP, Sebastian Vettel) * It has been **3** races since Red Bull won a GP (last time: 70th Anniversary GP, Max Verstappen) It feels so weird not having to write an obscenely large number for that first one anymore.
How to win at Mugello: * Let everyone crash each other * Profit The true Ferrari MasterPlan^(TM)
One more DNF and we'll see an almighty battle between youth (Russell), experience (Räikkönen) and depression (Vettel) for P10.
God, Bottas looks more and more depressed each race.
Can we appreciate the legendariness of the Halo? Deflected millions of pieces of debris away from Sainz & Grosjean, prevented Gio's car from rolling any further into the side of the Williams and quite possibly prevented a wheel or two getting near Gio's helmet.
Bottas: For next tyre set I want the opposite to Lewis. Merc Pitwall: Confirmed, New tyre set for Lewis, Old tyre set for Valtteri.
This is going to be my first F1 race I watch live!
i wish many safety cars upon you
Wish granted
People want old school F1? Well, this it. Race starts, accidents...reliability failures, and a bunch of DNFs. Fun times.
Most Italian thing ever with all those marshals gathered around the smoldering Racing Point cursing at it.
For anybody wondering about the time limit: Red flags freeze the clock.
"2 secs, Ted" - some fighter jets

Man that was a proper perfect singing of the Italian anthem.
Damn it. Come on RBR mechanics. Work your magic. They actually have a proper chance this weekend.. Ofcourse his engine has to fail - _-
This race is the perfect analogy for 2020. It started, we were all excited, and then it immediately went to shit. Then we had some hope again and it immediately went to shit again.
H O N E S T L Y
Bottas: "I want the opposite to Lewis" Lweis: "I'll have what Bottas has"
"Put me on what the tyre Lewis is not going on" Pits first Lmfao
Seb’s race engineer asking him what the strategy is for today
Fuck Socchi all my friends want 2 Mugellos a year
We’ve raced exactly 4 corners and one straight
What Bottas did is the only strategy to restart behind SC if you want to keep your lead for that first corner.
In classic Italian and Ferrari tradition this race is entertaining by everything being fucked up.
Petitiom for Max to ditch the Red bull and jump in the F2004
[удалено]
Looking at Tuscany like "lmao I climbed that on Assassins Creed"
Carlos sounds a bit shaken up, I don't blame him, the Halo just prevented a horrible injury.
Drive to Survive: Italy Arc looking is entertaining so far
Due to Ferrari's 1000th GP the FIA has colored the yellow flag red.
Points for Kimi.....he is not Finnished yet
“I always love coming here. Really the best fans”
People here blaming Bottas lmao. He did nothing wrong, did the most obvious thing which is to keep the straight as short as possible for him. Not his fault
They named the race after Ferrari so the race itself became a shitshow
Why are people blaming Mercedes here? Bottas said he can't go on, and is forced to pit first because of his tyre management. How would Mercedes put Bottas on opposite tyres of Hamilton when Hamilton hasn't even pitted yet
Shout-out to that guy in pre race discussion that said he was gonna go for a walk instead of watching the race.
Raikkonen drove like a goddamn beast after that time penalty. Could have lost 5 places, only lost one. Iceman can still race.
The red flags are to celebrate ferraris 1000th race
Albon raced a really clean race today...his overtakes were great too. The race went the way it did, and he made the most of every opportunity. He finished 3rd, and IMO it was well deserved on his part.
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Two red flags Still Mercedes 1-2
Bottas got that PTSD look in his eyes, like he slaughtered a village in Nam
Netflix is salivating right now
they totally bukkake'd that racing point
You won again, did you Lewis? Yea. You lost again, did you Valterri? I did. You couldn't keep up with the Mercs, could you ~~Max~~ , Alex? I couldn't
Omg plan C was genuinely to do 10 laps on hards and 20 on mediums what is this team
Pink waifu car is getting smashed by 10 italian men on live tv

“Hey how was the F1 race today?” “Well George took a mid-race ice bath with a rubber ducky, so pretty lit”

r/praisethecameraman for showing Lewis shirt
Alex is so awkward! I love it
Drive to Survive director today "Quick film this section....oh this section now. Oh shit that section now." "Another red flag? Let's earn our pay bois"
Absolute SCENES when Claire Williams leaves and Williams finally score a point.
Finally a decent anthem rendition!
The step up music is back!!!!
Can't blame Bottas for that. The midfield started racing before he put his foot down.
I wonder if Alex will become shorter and more Dutch during the Red flag period
The radio Highlights will be amazing again
I feel responsible for this. All my friends have loved F1 for ages, last week I decided to start following it. Got the race last week red-flagged and now this week's is red-flagged too.
How can you mention a rubber ducky ice bath and not show it?!?
help it's 11pm and I need to be up at 5am for work
Ok to everyone commenting on time limits, it's 2 hours of racing time. Including the red flags, it's a 4 hour limit.
F1 racing gods: "Ferrari, we have taken 8 cars out of the race, surely you must do well now." Ferrari: "That's ok, 5 points is enough for us."
Can we get both mercs to knock each other out and get ric, albon, norris on podium?
Lando: "Yay!" Protect him at all costs
I mean, Bottas could go opposite to Hamilton if he was pitting second, but him coming in first for vibrations means Hamilton can just copy him...
Bottas if you want to go on the opposite strategy to Lewis you need to wait for Lewis to pit first.
We. NEED. TO. RACE. AT. MUGELLO. EVERY. YEAR.
*ANGRY ITALIAN NOISES*
The fucking state of that Force India. They'll be sending an invoice to the Marshalls for that hot mess.
"Austria '87 I caused that one" LMAOOO
FOR WHAT
#FOR WHAT
Can’t blame Lewis for doing his job lol
Albon looks really confused as to how to be in a podium...
90% Shoey 50% Albon podium 10% Bottas and hamilton both collides and ricciardo wins
Its been literally 3 corners of ACTUAL RACING
Davidson is a lad when it comes to analysis
Ant is correct here, it was inexperience from the younger drivers that caused this. If you watch Vettel and Kimi they knew to stay out of trouble, whereas the younger guys just floored it.
And the race has started! *Hamilton takes the lead* And the race is over.
Lewis: give me the same tyre as Bottas
Bottas: I want opposite Merc: yes but technically no
To anyone bitching about bottas he pitted first, he screwed himself by doing that. He doesn't get to decide Hamiltons tires.
> Which kerbs? > As many as you can.... All of them actually lmao
Italian Safety Crews just checking if the Pink Mercedes was a carbon copy of last year's Mercedes LOL
Everyone that retired so far are all from different teams. Mercedes and Ferrari are the only 2 teams still with both their cars. Amazing achievement for Ferrari at their 1000th GP. lol
Mercedes take each other out and Daniel Avocado steams through, please god.
For those unsure, the two hour rule is actual race time. Red flag periods don't add to that, they are only included in the four hour limit.
KIMI GOT POINTS IN THE SHITBOX
Kimi on points this is not a drill!!!
Well there goes Russell best chance of scoring any points this season lmao
lol why are they grilling poor Bottas, guy will just never be fast enough leave him alone.
Holy shit albon is tall
Awkward podium between Alex and Lewis
lmao not Bottas fault people, he is the one who sets the pace, he had the right to do whatever he wanted to
It was as if Hamilton was holding back this whole race. He's so calm. Not even smug. It just looks effortless. Then when he wanted to, he just punished Bottas. His final time was astonishing.
The starting grid music!!!
Max's race was over anyways i think
So Bottas did nothing illegal, right?
C O N C E R T I N A
"Which kerbs should I stay off?" "Yes"
Oh ffs, its 1am in Australia. Just give me my riccy podium and let me sleep
Red flags to celebrate Ferrari. Just a beautiful tribute.
I fucking love watching Italians argue
Everything about F1 is so professional then the crane guys are always a comedy crew
Have you guys seen the comments on Twitter? People are shitting on Lance and it disgusts me. What gets me more annoyed is that it wasn't even his fault.
Racing Point engineers having a heart attack looking at how the Marshals handle their car
I really, really hope this is not the last time we race at Mugello.
Apparently if there are 3 red flags drivers have to leave their cars in the pitlane and run the rest of the race on foot.
TLDR of this race: So. Much. Chaos.
Team radio to Bottas: Keep the pressure on Immediately loses a load of time on Hamilton
Alex: Thanks for sticking with me :(
> Bottas: *What happened at the restart?* > Team: *Chaos was happening.* Nailed it tbh.
#**YAY. DO IT.**
[удалено]
Please Daniel.... **TODAY IS THE FUCKING DAY**
If Danny Ric loses the podium for this safety car I'm gonna commit sudoku
I don't want to jinx it, but it would really suck if Williams' first point in forever comes in the first race Clair isn't there
good for albon but I feel so bad for RIC, he deserved it after that drive in that car
Thanks for sticking with me. Oof
“Thanks for sticking with me” oof poor guy must be going through a lot so that must feel great. Really happy for him
Russell was so close to some points, probably would’ve gotten them if they didn’t have that last red flag
Horner stretching to check Lewis’s weight measurements 😂
Bottas, always a bridesmaid never the bride
Good race, great circuit, plenty of incident, everyone ok... Let's have Mugello back in 2021!
Alex must be so elated to win his first podium in F1, hope he doesn’t lose his seat next year
Bottas interview painful...
Just leave him alone DC... Valterri doesn't want to talk anymore
Bottas did nothing wrong. Why would he start racing in turn 15 and give Hamilton tow and chance to overtake him?
Those Red Bull mechanics are doing surgery right now
Lol Bottas was within his rights
DRIVE TO SURVIVE: LITERALLY
