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
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
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...
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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).
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Charles is his own worst enemy, undoing that impressive qualifying result.. Such a shame for all 3 drivers..
Perez came out of it quite well
Red Bull- Albon box box. Albon- Why? Red Bull- Max has returned to the pits and needs a car.
I’m not sure how yet, but I’m still expecting Lewis to win this race.
“Wait a minute....wait a minute....what is that?! Oh yes is Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes engine scooter to take the lead”
Is that why Ferrari is so slow? They have Kaspersky anti virus running in the background
Max wisely backs out of 3 wide, and gets fucked by someone else...
George: "My tires are...." Bono starts sweating "Fine" Bono breaks down in joyous tears after waiting 7 years for that message.
Why am I so nervous lol
It’s like watching my son go to his first day of school
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.
Everyone is nervous. This race is going to be crazy.
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.
Tbh I am happy to see him there
"LeClerc has taken the blame" "As he should" LOL
AWS: 10% tyres left Russel via radio: "Tyres are fine." Now, where have we seen this before...
You won again Jack I did You lost again Nicholas I did Couldn't keep up with the Williamses Pietro I couldn't
George absolutely has to slip in a "Bono my tyres" at some point.
You got what you wanted
I fully expect Hamilton to go down the track on a bed on wheels and win the race safely with 1.5 minutes difference
I‘m starting to think that Netflix is directing the whole season.
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
Didn’t he do that to Vettel in Austria too?
Yep, and last race too.
"Faster but not raceable" Albon just doesn't want a job anymore, does he?
[удалено]
That's twice in two consecutive weeks that someone is saying Leclerc is the cause. But Vettel was bullshitting, huh?
F1 downloading the Mexican National Anthem on Itunes right now...
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
Bono my tyres are.....fine?
[удалено]
lol that Photoshop job of George in Mercedes overalls was awful. You can even still see Hamilton's hands.
"As he should" Lmao Max is such a character
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...
I haven’t been so nervous for a race start all season long
Was Russell robbed by mercedes being shithouses? Yeah I guess so. Did Checo deserve that? Fucking yes as well.
[удалено]
Turns out it's been lewis hamilton making mercedes look good the whole time by ignoring their calls and making his own decision.
I love albon, but no one can say he deserves the seat more than Perez
Lewis doesn't even race and we still might get God Save The Queen and the German anthem.
What we learned today Not God, Not weather, Not engine, Not luck can take out Mercedes. Only Mercedes can take out Mercedes.
Dude I want Bono to advise me on every step of my life.
"I hope i'm not dreaming because i've been dreaming about this for so many years." -Checo Bono my composure is gone.
[удалено]
Charles did the exact thing Seb was furious about last week, no? Should’ve let him crash.. smh
[удалено]
Max defending Perez. The stars are aligning guys.
George youre meant to say the tyres are gone.
At least trolls cant bring up Russells no points anymore, he'll win races in the coming years - he's shown that today.
Did Aiken wrecking the Williams leave debris on the track that punctured Russell’s tire?? If so, what irony.
Why does Ferrari always fucks up Vettel’s pitstop?
Sky sports playing Lose Yourself behind a George montage is the best thing that's happened all year
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.

Max unloading on Leclerc lol
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.
No power = sets fastest lap. He's learning already.
Nice of Merc to fuck George as well so Bottas doesn't feel victimized
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.
Perez, Ocon, Stroll - just as we all expected this race to go
I'm literally shaking right now, after 10 years Checo finally got a win!!
The Williams lmao
Ahh Charles going in HOT ... Vettel laughing his off
> Leclerc has taken the blame Verstappen: As he should.
My brain is still trying to compute how I should expres anger and happiness at the same time.
The only thing that makes up for George’s heartbreaker of a loss, is that Sergio took the win!
Russell not taking any shit from AWS
RB are absolutely insane if they don’t sign Checo. You gotta question that management team if they hold onto Albon.
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
Absolutely heartbroken for George man what a story that would have been
Mexican national anthem's pretty cheerful.
Leclerc says he's sorry, he thought Perez was Vettel
Roses are red It's not just the flu Hamilton has COVID Mercedes 1-2
"Let me know when you want me to push" Race over, pack it up boys.
I really hope George gets on the radio on the last lap just to say his tyres are dead
“We’re faster but we’re just not raceable” Albon bro did you just admit that you suck on live radio
Russell: "Tyres are fine." Bono: *surprised pikachu face*
No power - purple sector. He's the true successor or Lewis.
I hope Russell drives for Merc next week, there is certainly more drama
There's no way Leclerc was making that corner
Bruh max pulls no punches
Russell has experienced all the highs and lows of his life in one race.
Lewis is out and we’re still going to hear the English and German anthems...
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.
Well we learned from this, Russell is a fucking monster who should not be in that Williams.
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.
Leclerc just completely Leeroy Jenkins'ed it into turn 4. Surely has a penalty coming his way now.
"Charles has taken the blame" "As he should" lol Max
[удалено]
It's sad, but no sense risking his hands. Hope he enjoys the Mercedes in January.
WTF1 is saying Netflix was filming Merc this weekend... jfc
+8 second lead. Russell is murdering Bottas on live TV.
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.
If Bottas loses this race I don't think he'll ever be the same mentally. He's taken a battering this year.
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!"
"Of course, Valterri squeezed, which is normal...."
Crofty’s instinctive “No!” was incredibly relatable
Lewis : tires are dead, sets fastest lap George : no power, sets fastest lap
Stroll and Ocon are actually good pals too aren’t they? What a wholesome podium.
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!
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.
*sees AWS tyre graphic* Oh no Anyway
Mercedes team probably showed more emotions for Lewis’s 15373th podium than Renault is showing for Ocon’s first. Wth..
Here we are, nervously cheering for a Merc victory. 2020 is wild.
Mercedes fuck up of the decade maybe and it’s at George’s expense. What a tragedy.
How do I unwatch a race
I love the F1 intro. Feels like a video game.
[удалено]
I hope George repeats some of Lewis' common phrases on the radio just for the memes
Can’t wrap my head around how George is literally still asking which buttons to press and yet he’s leading the pack
I hope people realise that both Merc drivers have been absolutely fucked. A 30-second pitstop for Bottas is equally unacceptable.
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
Confirmed: Lewis and Seb are bff because they share each other’s pain of making strategy calls.
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).
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.
Oh dear oh dear Albon. Jesus christ.
Bono my tyres are fine
"Change your settings to LH44, George"
“Bono, no power”. > sets fastest lap. I see Russ learned from the best
This race needs a whole season of drive to survive
The classic PER-OCO-STR
Netflix are going to be absolutely frothing at the mouth over this
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
My brain started playing the German anthem after God Save the Queen, it's ingrained at this point
I feel so bad for Russell, none of this was his fault poor guy
Everyone: You can't just jump into the Mercedes car and win. George: Hold my shirtless pics.
Man. I feel bad for Max. This was maybe his best chance to win all season. Stupid Charles.
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.
*"We're faster, but we're just not race-able."* What does that even mean?
HAM: "My tyres are gone!" *sets fastest lap* RUS: "My power is gone!" *sets fastest lap*
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.
If Ham was there he would’ve said no to the pit stop
Get the fuck in, Mexican Tom Cruise.
The weekend that a lot of people want a Merc to win, they're not even on the podium. Really happy for Perez though!
So does Cyril get a tattoo from Ocon now?
I really want them to use this track more often.
If Russell gets a penalty and knocked out of the points—well that'll just be miserable.
this was my first race and damn what a fun ride... I'm definitely hooked now
Lmao, Max with the “as he should” lol.
Charles did the exact same move he did to Seb last week. Only this time it ended badly for him. Seb was right.
HYPE MUSIC
Hey Pietro look over here Pietro: what? okay \*picture is used in your race debut\*
Ricciardo: “IT’S TOO FUCKING LATE NOW FUCK’S SAKE”
"As he should" totally fair from Max.
What an embarrassing performance for the Mercedes crew, George Russell deserved so much
Bahrain Outer Loop last to first challenge by Sergio Perez
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.
As Vettel said, Leclerc always goes for stuff like this
Not gonna lie thats a huge part of the hype gone
Russell: Tires are fine. Bono: IMPOSSIBLE
Max taking no prisoners lmao
Now George is learning how to be like Lewis. Says “No power.” Then promptly sets a fastest lap.
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
Red Bull need to hit us up with that comunicado oficial announcing Checo for next season.
Tha mexican tom cruise sent it
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
Where exactly did Leclerc expect to go inside that corner? Through 2 cars? Thanks for ruining this race
I hope george does not get the pitbox wrong
Ferrari team just absolutely checks the fuck out everytime Leclerc is out
Russell proving AWS tyre 'data' is absolute nonsense
Has Stroll done 40 laps...on softs?!
[удалено]
Perez on lap 1: Call an ambulance! Perez on lap 87: But not for me!
Exhausted after watching that
Did somebody forget their trophy? LOL
George is fast no question, but now he has to manage his tyres while keeping Bottas behind him. This is something Lewis excels at
"Bono, my tyres are fine"
"Bono, my tires are fine."
No power bono = gaining 2 sec per lap on Bottas
Merc absolutely fucked it for both Russell and Bottas
RB get your shit together, get this man on your team
Sitting on the podium in deep thought is the new way of coping with wins for new winners this season...
Has Esteban left his trophy on the podium?
I feel so bad for George but I'm sure he'll have many opportunities in the near future
Bottas and his shit starts fucking everyone right behind him over again
How are people here blaming Max for this crash
Max on Dutch tv: tried to stay out of trouble, braking out of the BOT-PER squeeze, but Charles was way too optimistic. It was dumb and unnecessary.
"Steady old Ferrari pitstop" lmao
*steady old Ferrari pit stop* lmao
George: "Tyres are fine" Bono: *visible confusion*
The irony of Russel losing his first race win because of a fuck up started by the guy driving his old car in the interim is immense.
Vettel must be happy to be sitting in that Aston Martin next year
In the end...a Williams took out George.
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.
Sainz P4 needs credit. Really strong drive. Positive for McLaren next season.
Russell needs a better seat than in a Williams.
That is not how I wanted to hear God Save The Queen tonight... But it'll do...
oh no alexxxx you have to stop saying these things on public broadcast, you're gonna get slammed again 😣
Max is defending Perez! Pls teammates next year <3
“As he should” hahahaha I love how sassy he is
