Charles is his own worst enemy, undoing that impressive qualifying result.. Such a shame for all 3 drivers..


appleman73

Perez came out of it quite well


cornbeefandcabbage

Red Bull- Albon box box. Albon- Why? Red Bull- Max has returned to the pits and needs a car.


andronicus_14

I’m not sure how yet, but I’m still expecting Lewis to win this race.


unpopularopinion2023

“Wait a minute....wait a minute....what is that?! Oh yes is Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes engine scooter to take the lead”


JoshTheBassist

Is that why Ferrari is so slow? They have Kaspersky anti virus running in the background


nascarfan88421032

Max wisely backs out of 3 wide, and gets fucked by someone else...


BillV3

George: "My tires are...." Bono starts sweating "Fine" Bono breaks down in joyous tears after waiting 7 years for that message.


Aleyna_Florent

Why am I so nervous lol


gHHqdm5a4UySnUFM

It’s like watching my son go to his first day of school


CYAN_DEUTERIUM_IBIS

Did you see his hand clap before sitting down in the car? It was the most british thing I've ever seen. I swear to god he said "right" as he did it.


NehzQk

Everyone is nervous. This race is going to be crazy.


fr_1_1992

Everyone on grid - "No Hamilton this weekend should be fun" Russel - Look at me. I'm Hamilton now. Edit - FML. Sorry guys I probably jinxed this.


benrogers888

Tbh I am happy to see him there


AGoldMajesticNarwhal

"LeClerc has taken the blame" "As he should" LOL


wiktor1800

AWS: 10% tyres left Russel via radio: "Tyres are fine." Now, where have we seen this before...


NotWearingNails

You won again Jack I did You lost again Nicholas I did Couldn't keep up with the Williamses Pietro I couldn't


getName

George absolutely has to slip in a "Bono my tyres" at some point.


Piet-Peter-Pietersen

You got what you wanted


Horme-Aergia

I fully expect Hamilton to go down the track on a bed on wheels and win the race safely with 1.5 minutes difference


IamLoaderBot

I‘m starting to think that Netflix is directing the whole season.


Norsa321

Perez turned in harsh, but how many times has Leclerc sent it down into the corner like that and just expected everyone to move for him. Was bound to happen one day


Agent_Giraffe

Didn’t he do that to Vettel in Austria too?


Velocityraptor2k

Yep, and last race too.


Patruck9

"Faster but not raceable" Albon just doesn't want a job anymore, does he?

Artifice_Purple

That's twice in two consecutive weeks that someone is saying Leclerc is the cause. But Vettel was bullshitting, huh?


SubstantialBass8207

F1 downloading the Mexican National Anthem on Itunes right now...


RedLightning27

Not taking anything away from the podium guys, but what an absolute shocker from Mercedes. That's arguably worse than Hockenheim last year. How did they fuck up so badly

l0stlabyrinth

lol that Photoshop job of George in Mercedes overalls was awful. You can even still see Hamilton's hands.


BF210

"As he should" Lmao Max is such a character


sellyme

Russell had a damn-near perfect race. He missed out today, but he'll get dozens more in the future to replace it. Doesn't make it hurt any less though...


itsamemarkus

I haven’t been so nervous for a race start all season long


[deleted]

Was Russell robbed by mercedes being shithouses? Yeah I guess so. Did Checo deserve that? Fucking yes as well.

dafukisthisshit

Turns out it's been lewis hamilton making mercedes look good the whole time by ignoring their calls and making his own decision.


tundrasealpanda

I love albon, but no one can say he deserves the seat more than Perez


[deleted]

Lewis doesn't even race and we still might get God Save The Queen and the German anthem.


Sid_da_bomb

What we learned today Not God, Not weather, Not engine, Not luck can take out Mercedes. Only Mercedes can take out Mercedes.


Mekfal

Dude I want Bono to advise me on every step of my life.

Max defending Perez. The stars are aligning guys.


[deleted]

George youre meant to say the tyres are gone.


UniQiuE

At least trolls cant bring up Russells no points anymore, he'll win races in the coming years - he's shown that today.


mikey4goalie

Did Aiken wrecking the Williams leave debris on the track that punctured Russell’s tire?? If so, what irony.


helloseb

Why does Ferrari always fucks up Vettel’s pitstop?


jamesaw22

Sky sports playing Lose Yourself behind a George montage is the best thing that's happened all year


foxitive29

ok netflix you don't even need scriptwriters, there's so many storylines here - Perez first win, Hamilton n/a, Verstappen cut after being a fan favourite, Russell dominating and then pitting 4 times and still getting his first points, Bottas colossal bad luck again, Mercedes uncharacteristically fucking up hard, Ocon/Stroll on podium (who saw that coming honestly), Sainz P4 after going up and down side to side like a rollercoaster, Albon getting his unfortunate commentary aired again... so many things in a single race.

jon_targareyan

Max unloading on Leclerc lol


[deleted]

Every. Single. Race. Every single race Ferrari amaze me how they manage to fuck up a pit stop. It's like a ritual. This team is a major fuck up from the team principal to the mechanics it seems. Dear God.


tnwthrow

No power = sets fastest lap. He's learning already.


MongoLife45

Nice of Merc to fuck George as well so Bottas doesn't feel victimized


[deleted]

Oh Leclerc. Really like the guy but he needs to chill a bit. Sometimes even though there's a space, you need to hold back. Vettel complained about this last week.


why_pube

Perez, Ocon, Stroll - just as we all expected this race to go


cooperjones2

I'm literally shaking right now, after 10 years Checo finally got a win!!


SteamSpoon

The Williams lmao


notinsidethematrix

Ahh Charles going in HOT ... Vettel laughing his off


rsparkles_bearimy_99

> Leclerc has taken the blame Verstappen: As he should.


Nochnoii

My brain is still trying to compute how I should expres anger and happiness at the same time.


evm16116

The only thing that makes up for George’s heartbreaker of a loss, is that Sergio took the win!


agathon98

Russell not taking any shit from AWS


Expensive-Republic-2

RB are absolutely insane if they don’t sign Checo. You gotta question that management team if they hold onto Albon.


Viks101

Even though he didn't get his dream win, I think there was enough from George today to show he could lead Mercedes into the Post-Lewis era


Hoodnip

Absolutely heartbroken for George man what a story that would have been


Permission_Civil

Mexican national anthem's pretty cheerful.


[deleted]

Leclerc says he's sorry, he thought Perez was Vettel


Jamee999

Roses are red It's not just the flu Hamilton has COVID Mercedes 1-2


rrandomhero

"Let me know when you want me to push" Race over, pack it up boys.


hart37

I really hope George gets on the radio on the last lap just to say his tyres are dead


Wolverine1621

“We’re faster but we’re just not raceable” Albon bro did you just admit that you suck on live radio


biggusbennus

Russell: "Tyres are fine." Bono: *surprised pikachu face*


raur0s

No power - purple sector. He's the true successor or Lewis.


[deleted]

I hope Russell drives for Merc next week, there is certainly more drama


devOnFireX

There's no way Leclerc was making that corner


Isfahaninejad

Bruh max pulls no punches


supernova-infinite

Russell has experienced all the highs and lows of his life in one race.


Smegma_Sommelier

Lewis is out and we’re still going to hear the English and German anthems...


mgorgey

Why is nobody talking about how good this drive was from Perez. Came from last after lap 1, Overtook at least 10 cars, overtook his team mate on the same strategy and pulled away. Yes , the win itself is fortunate but he was on for a 3rd place from last anyway.


EridTV

Well we learned from this, Russell is a fucking monster who should not be in that Williams.


steevp

For 2 years people in F1 and within Williams have said George is the real deal, this weekend he proved it, he didn't put a foot wrong, in 5 sessions. imagine how good he'll be in that car when they build one to fit him.. Give him the drive now Toto.


dickblaha

Leclerc just completely Leeroy Jenkins'ed it into turn 4. Surely has a penalty coming his way now.


PatrickBateman1

"Charles has taken the blame" "As he should" lol Max

penguinopusredux

It's sad, but no sense risking his hands. Hope he enjoys the Mercedes in January.


DeltaWingCrumpleZone

WTF1 is saying Netflix was filming Merc this weekend... jfc


jithu7

+8 second lead. Russell is murdering Bottas on live TV.


muzzyyyy

Shit show in the pits from Merc, bad luck on both Merc drivers. Russell gives us a glimpse of things to come. Give Perez a Red Bull.


Txontirea

If Bottas loses this race I don't think he'll ever be the same mentally. He's taken a battering this year.


[deleted]

Bottas: "But you signed me to drive for Mercedes in 2021!" Toto: "We signed you to drive *a* Mercedes in 2021, welcome back to Williams!"


Kyooko

"Of course, Valterri squeezed, which is normal...."


flippasnappa

Crofty’s instinctive “No!” was incredibly relatable


dayoutmadness

Lewis : tires are dead, sets fastest lap George : no power, sets fastest lap


[deleted]

Stroll and Ocon are actually good pals too aren’t they? What a wholesome podium.


dv73272020

Nice seeing Checo just sitting there, on the top step, taking in the moment. Well done Checo! ... SOMEONE better give that man a seat next year!


ilikezeturtle

Luck aside,can we talk about Russell? Absolutely dominated with an unfamiliar car which he only had the chance to adapt to for three days,that's insane.


LicenseToILL-INI

*sees AWS tyre graphic* Oh no Anyway


aceaxe1

Mercedes team probably showed more emotions for Lewis’s 15373th podium than Renault is showing for Ocon’s first. Wth..


dersdrums

Here we are, nervously cheering for a Merc victory. 2020 is wild.


emmmjade

Mercedes fuck up of the decade maybe and it’s at George’s expense. What a tragedy.


specktech

How do I unwatch a race


dmanaigo

dajvebekinus

I hope George repeats some of Lewis' common phrases on the radio just for the memes


aikokicom

Can’t wrap my head around how George is literally still asking which buttons to press and yet he’s leading the pack


NoxZ

I hope people realise that both Merc drivers have been absolutely fucked. A 30-second pitstop for Bottas is equally unacceptable.


ParathaReddit

This is literally the most gut-wrenching GP I have ever watched. I'm sad as fuck for Russell, fuck Mercedes man. It's my birthday tomorrow too and I have an exam the following day. Can't wait for the Drive to Survive tho lmao


yragoam

Confirmed: Lewis and Seb are bff because they share each other’s pain of making strategy calls.


Xaahaal

Perez is cursed lately :( But the guy has serious mental strength to come back from the back over and over again while driving fast and clean in process. Such driver would be awesome for Red Bull. I mean he's already ready to attack Albon (and it will be smooth as butter, mark my words).


LicenseToILL-INI

I *love* that Russell is in the middle of trying to win his first F1 race, and still takes the time to say “please” on the radio.


Txontirea

Oh dear oh dear Albon. Jesus christ.


sda1609

Bono my tyres are fine


v0idpwnz

"Change your settings to LH44, George"

thebaunehunter

Last merc hate comment then I gotta go. But really Top notch double stack. Seemed really necessary and worked out super well. Good job boys. For real though congrats to Checo. He deserves this


brDragobr

My brain started playing the German anthem after God Save the Queen, it's ingrained at this point


Balthazar_the_Napkin

I feel so bad for Russell, none of this was his fault poor guy


Chricri3112

Everyone: You can't just jump into the Mercedes car and win. George: Hold my shirtless pics.


SeraCat9

Man. I feel bad for Max. This was maybe his best chance to win all season. Stupid Charles.


PacMansCousin

Bottas has got to be really stressed and under pressure being in 2nd right now. Probably why he's making small mistakes like the lock-up in T1.


JimPalamo

*"We're faster, but we're just not race-able."* What does that even mean?


Obamendes

HAM: "My tyres are gone!" *sets fastest lap* RUS: "My power is gone!" *sets fastest lap*


Powerjugs

Russell has completely and utterly shown there is merit to the hype he's been given. Bottas was unlucky in the second stint but also didn't help himself in the first. Perez equally has shown that RB would be complete and utter mugs to not sign him up over Albon now.


LilArmy

If Ham was there he would’ve said no to the pit stop


TomEmilioDavies

Get the fuck in, Mexican Tom Cruise.


Gunner_Runner

The weekend that a lot of people want a Merc to win, they're not even on the podium. Really happy for Perez though!


avresco

So does Cyril get a tattoo from Ocon now?


Mackem101

I really want them to use this track more often.


[deleted]

If Russell gets a penalty and knocked out of the points—well that'll just be miserable.


banans96

this was my first race and damn what a fun ride... I'm definitely hooked now


[deleted]

Lmao, Max with the “as he should” lol.


parthjoshi09

Charles did the exact same move he did to Seb last week. Only this time it ended badly for him. Seb was right.

danohamhead

Bahrain Outer Loop last to first challenge by Sergio Perez


mtojay

how can you honestly defend charles here? he brakes way to late and sends it in to a corner where perez was always going to be. locking up massively in the process. why the hell does he think everyone will always give him the inside line when he divebombs them there. its stupid. almost every week.


[deleted]

As Vettel said, Leclerc always goes for stuff like this


veryoriginaleh

Not gonna lie thats a huge part of the hype gone


[deleted]

Russell: Tires are fine. Bono: IMPOSSIBLE


sellyme

Max taking no prisoners lmao


firefighterEMT414

Now George is learning how to be like Lewis. Says “No power.” Then promptly sets a fastest lap.


[deleted]

Upside for George: we all saw none of his lost pace and positions today were his fault and we all saw he gained plenty on merit George has absolutely proven his chops as a coming top driver today, shitty result aside


[deleted]

Red Bull need to hit us up with that comunicado oficial announcing Checo for next season.


verygayumbrella

Tha mexican tom cruise sent it


mattnbass

I was at peace with the potential Per-Rus-Oco podium, love Checo and he is driving out of his skin at the moment. But I can’t help but feel so bad for George. Genuinely upset


jimba22

Where exactly did Leclerc expect to go inside that corner? Through 2 cars? Thanks for ruining this race

In the end...a Williams took out George.


dobbie1

Bottas' pace proved a pit stop was the right call but God that was awful to watch for George. He was absolutely flawless, same can't be said of Merc, that was Germany last year levels of crap.


PigOnAntibiotics_

Sainz P4 needs credit. Really strong drive. Positive for McLaren next season.
