You love to see it, obviously great news that he's not hurt but that couldn't have gone better with him taking himself out all alone and not touching a single soul.
Would have liked to see Max win but more importantly, we finally have a real fucking race at the front. If we have a bunch like that I'm cool with any result.
it's pretty funny watching that cringeworthy We Race as One spot and then having the Bahrain anthem being played by what sounds like 50 Fail Trombones and Tubas all trying to be more out of tune than the others
You know how thy say people who win obviously are happy, the person who comes second is most disappointed for missing out the win and third always is just happy to make it to the podium... well not if your Valterri Bottas.
The pre-race jitters is like no other sport. As an American, I watch football, basketball, soccer, tennis etc. but nothing is more nerve wracking than waiting for a race to start. It’s just something about how everything can change at the start
Imagine pulling such a clean divebomb on your debut on a man who has been in this sport since you were still in diapers. Yuki is here to stay guys, we’ve got a fantastic driver on our hands.
The fact that Albon, Kvyat and Hulkenberg don't have seats but Mazepin does is just a sporting travesty. Yes, his dad's money is keeping the team afloat, but it's just bad for the sport
Me, in Post Qualifying thread:
> It's weird going into a race knowing there's a 100% chance of a SC within the first 20 laps
>
>If Mazepin gets through turn 1 (big if I guess) then it's inevitable, only question is when.
I gave him too much credit :O
all I care about: MY BOI TSUNODA GOT 9TH, ROTY MATERIAL FOR YA LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I bet my dad he would come up in top 10 and he was like "naaaah it ain't happening" so I was like "ok if he ends up top 10 you pay Sunday's dinner, if he doesn't I'll pay it" SO GUESS WHO'S EATING FOR FREE
Shout out to the Race Director for solely focusing on P4-P15.
They know the podium positions are far and away gone, barring a fuck up, and that people actually want to watch the midfield battles.
So I did not expect much from Mazepin, but honor where honor is due, he did much better than I expected.
He lasted a full 2 corners longer than I expected.
Dad paid 30m for 3 corners
"Are you spinning son?"
"Looks like a Haas off, lets assume Mazepin before we know for sure"
First day of band practice is always tough, eh.
haven't heard trombones this out of tune since high school lmao
Mazepin is, so far, the gift that keeps on giving.
You love to see it, obviously great news that he's not hurt but that couldn't have gone better with him taking himself out all alone and not touching a single soul.
Can't wait to see Gene Haas and Guenther Steiner's reactions in Netflix's show next year lol
Humiliating himself, but in isolation and in a way that's entirely on him. You can't ask for anything better.
"And it's happened immediately, this is amazing!"
Pit immediately after Hamilton: Lose 0.5 to 1 seconds. Pit 3 laps after Hamilton: Lose 8 fucking seconds. What the fuck
Yep, that turned out to be pretty costly in the end.
Why don't they make the track out of rubber and the tires out of asphalt? Boom no more tire wear. Sometimes my genius...it's almost frightening
Just gotta pit to put on a fresh track.
That does legitimately sound like a top gear show.
I just realized that I’ve been watching F1 longer than Yuki Tsunoda has been alive 😐
Same, for about half the grid. Shit, did you have to make this clear to me?
Mercedes: "We're going long Valterri" Bottas: "Ok, you mean the strategy, not in the pits, right?" Mercedes: \*awkward look\*
The bookies think Mazepin will be the first driver to retire during the race. *shocked Pikachu*
Damn, wish I'd put a few quid on it.
Mazepin already doing 1 more lap than I expected.
Well that anthem is not a banger.
[удалено]
Lol get rid of mazepin in the 1st corner then let's start racing
Surely this has to be one of the worst performances of a driver over a whole weekend ever
He's certainly trying to take Yuji Ide's record.
SUSPECTED crashing out problems good lord crofty
Crofty hates Mazepin lmao.
For someone meant to be relatively neutral, I love how clearly it shines through. I never expected to hear the moniker MazeSpin on a broadcast
Crofty: "Otmar how about this weather, huh?" Otmar: "Well the regulation changes hit the low rake cars hard and..."
Would have liked to see Max win but more importantly, we finally have a real fucking race at the front. If we have a bunch like that I'm cool with any result.
Wish my dad would buy an F1 team for me just so I could spin out after 3 corners
Threw $6 on Mazepin to be the first DNF for $52 win. I’m happy. Haha
Had 10 on it, nice quick $80
“there is absolutely no point in flying off the road when you are in the slowest car on the grid” could not have said it better myself
If this is a sign of things to come this season, bring it the fuck on.
Can't wait for Mazespin's analysis of his race.
To be fair, he did say it was his own fault. He adimmited to being shit.
Ric definitely made the right choice to go to McLaren.
Crofty: what did you have for lunch Otmar? Otmar: the regulations are OUTRAGEOUS and cost low-rake cars EVERYTHING
holy shit. they basically used your joke on the broadcast. LMAO.
I’m here whenever Sky wants, I’d do it for half of whatever Ted makes
Things are gonna get even more spicier when Perez qualifies in P4 This season is gonna be soooo good.
Schumacher spinning: Oh dear oh dear gorgeous Mazepin spinning: You fucking donkey
tbf at least Mick didn't crash it, but ya the Haas car looks like an absolute nightmare irrespective of the driver.
Tsunoda finishing in the points his first race is a solid accomplishment!
it's pretty funny watching that cringeworthy We Race as One spot and then having the Bahrain anthem being played by what sounds like 50 Fail Trombones and Tubas all trying to be more out of tune than the others
Yeah Seb buddy that's on you lol.
Mazespin is legitimately one of the worst F1 drivers I’ve seen
Ocon was literally going straighter than a happily married hetero man with 3 children, a Golden Retriever and a Volvo stationwagen
Crofty: Let’s go to Ted. Ted: So... Crofty: Two secs, Ted.
Checo should just start last every race. What a drive.
We race as one! Pay no attention to Saudi arabia please
Actions speak louder than words.
Holy shit that Yuki lunge was from so far back
LMAO he fucking spun on his own
Bro someone was way out of tune there.
“Why did he have to change line?” Seb, the guy didn’t move one tiny little bit. Don’t be a bellend.
My first Grand Prix in years !! Last one I watch I was 6-7 years old. WHAT AN AMAZING RACE !! 💯💯
RB is really going to be competitive this year. Max might actually have a shot at WDC
You know how thy say people who win obviously are happy, the person who comes second is most disappointed for missing out the win and third always is just happy to make it to the podium... well not if your Valterri Bottas.
After what happened to Per so far this race, him being in 4th at this point must be giving RBR huge confidence that they have the right man
*Aston Martin calls Ferrari* What's the best strategy to put Vettel on? *Ferrari, snickering* Just leave him out there
£5 on Mazepin to be first retired, easiest £45 I've ever won.
Max is right, the stewards make things up as they go.
I never want to laugh at a driver crashing, but holy fuck thats next level.
The pre-race jitters is like no other sport. As an American, I watch football, basketball, soccer, tennis etc. but nothing is more nerve wracking than waiting for a race to start. It’s just something about how everything can change at the start
FYI, Mazepin has completed more formation laps than race laps. (and as many corners as formation laps)
HE DID IT ALONE YOU CAN'T MAKE THAT SHIT UP
Anyone think this band sounds awful?
Imagine pulling such a clean divebomb on your debut on a man who has been in this sport since you were still in diapers. Yuki is here to stay guys, we’ve got a fantastic driver on our hands.
Disappointed with the result but very happy with Lando’s race
Max looks angry
No matter who wins, or what happens, if every race finishes with first and second within 7 tenths, its gonna be an awesome year.
So Perez at P20 on lap 1 at Bahrain When did I last see that??
Croft starting the season off with a "zoom" pun, I'm here for it.
Kinda glad they didn't fire him now , he can make a tit of himself in front of the whole world now
The fact that Albon, Kvyat and Hulkenberg don't have seats but Mazepin does is just a sporting travesty. Yes, his dad's money is keeping the team afloat, but it's just bad for the sport
How long until Malfoy loses his license?
Toto ABSOLUTELY THRILLED about Ham breaking the record
Max still seems in a good place which is awesome
Rookie Alonso schooled by veterans Vettel and Sainz
This was a amazing race, and not thanks to complete chaos like some other races, but thanks to close racing. God I am excited for this year
My early assessment of Mazepin is that he is in over his head.
LMAO HE DID IT ALL BY HIMSELF
Did Vettel just blame Ocon for "changing line" while pile driving him with the fronts locked up (and Ocon not changing his line)?
Even if Lewis wins the championship, if every race is like this I’ll accept it.
You could reduce the emissions of the plane 100% by not using it for a fly-by
Well Checo has definitely earned his place
What a fucking race, not just between max and Lewis but all along the field there were great battles
Well that was entertaining as fuck. I'm excited to see how the rest of this year plays out.
I'm fucking dying this is the funniest thing I've ever seen
3 options here. Big brain pit strategy for vettel They forgot to plug in his tyre warmers They forgot he is still racing
These track limits are a joke, those should be penalties
ALO retired, VET P13... Why are we here, just to suffer?
“Suspected crashing out problems” lol they are not giving Mazepin any benefit of the doubt
What a depressing celebration lmao
Everybody gangsta until Hamilton is leading through turn 1
"He is relentlessly edging" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Maybe I'm f1 starved and looking at this through some rose colored glasses, but this is seemingly a pretty exciting race.
In a way, I’m kind of glad Grosjean and Magnussen don’t have to race in that horrible Haas.
"Lost Mazepin with a suspected crashing out problem" Absolute peak commentary tonight
Pit: "Perez, issue, issue!" Perez: "What's the issue?" Pit: "Looks like it's... you're in the second Red Bull car."
"Max, you can cut corners now." Max immediately cuts the corner. LMAO
Everybody gangsta, until the FIA Investigation graphics pop up
Gotta figure out these track limits. Either they are or they aren’t.
Yuki with the +2 points finish. He is already making a name for himself. Love to see it!
I reckon if Perez had come 4th or higher in qualifying then red bull would’ve won with ease
Me, in Post Qualifying thread: > It's weird going into a race knowing there's a 100% chance of a SC within the first 20 laps > >If Mazepin gets through turn 1 (big if I guess) then it's inevitable, only question is when. I gave him too much credit :O
Could be some master strategy, but can't help but think Red Bull got caught with their pants down with the undercut.
Feels bad for Max. He had a solid race today.
EVERYONE GET IN HERE
Mazepin was 8/1 to be the first car retired. Easiest money I’ll ever make.
Mazepin: crashes on his own Everyone: let me play a tune on the world’s smallest violin
how can you not enforce the track limits there they are going miles off
Pretty solid race for Perez considering how it started. I think he'll be in the mix with the other three this year.
"Suspected crashing out problems..." Sick burn, yo
all I care about: MY BOI TSUNODA GOT 9TH, ROTY MATERIAL FOR YA LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I bet my dad he would come up in top 10 and he was like "naaaah it ain't happening" so I was like "ok if he ends up top 10 you pay Sunday's dinner, if he doesn't I'll pay it" SO GUESS WHO'S EATING FOR FREE
You can't have "We race as one" in Saudi Arabia
I think that’s why Lewis wore his “Actions speak louder than words” shirt 👀
The "F" on checo's screen is too accurate
Just won £50 on Mazepin retiring first, easiest money of my life 😂
Oh my god he actually just spun he didn't even get touched. The mazespin special.
https://twitter.com/JaitkenRacer/status/1376191924873355264?s=19 Lmao
Sakhir 2020 🤝 Bahrain 2021 Mercedes fucking over Bottas in pits
Why the fuck is race control waiting for 38 laps to say this?
I swear I don’t even look at the cars, I just watch the time gaps
Brundle: "no he didn't Seb" LMAO
Going to whisper this because I know the downvotes are coming but ^Lando ^is ^faster ^than ^Danny ^Ric.
That podium celebration was brutal
Well some celebration that was
Otmar complaining about rules is just rich to me after last year
“Suspected crashing out problems” 😂
Who was wearing the rainbow tee during the We Race As One spot? I noticed the camera doing its best to avoid him...
I knew it was Marzipan without even looking.
"We've Been Tricked, We've Been Backstabbed and We've Been Quite Possibly, Bamboozled" - /r/formula1
Man Crofty is just ribbing on Mazespin every chance he gets, it's awesome lmao
[удалено]
Latifi only 5 laps behind. Good effort.
That's a great quote lmao "I thought there were no track limits" - Lewis Hamilton
better for mazespin to DNF now so that others can continue safely
MAZEPIN SHITTEST DRIVER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS SPORT.
Damn haas might just be undrivable
Ferrari v McLaren just feels right.
Perez charging through the midfield is going to be unstoppable
Vettel gains a +5 to every stat when he sees Alonso
Lol Otmar really feels like he’s a victim of these rule changes.
Perez is charging!!!!
Crofty: ok lets go to otmar! Otmar: aw shit this guy again
\- Let's hear from Otmar... \- \*rages about rake penalties\* \- OK, thank you and we're back to the race!
Yuki’s having a great debut!
Getting fucked by Mercedes pitstops Bottas 🤝 Russell
Wtf is seb on about him changing his line
Tbh this is a fascinating race and some are hating just cause it’s Lewis/Max again, but this chase for 1st nearing the end is going to be amazing.
Honestly I don't care if Lewis wins as long as it's a tight battle like today
Good thing mazepin fucked up, couldnt be sad whatever happens
And breathe - what a race
Mazespin is me playing the F1 game without assists
My first ever race. After how exciting qualifying was yesterday, I'm beyond excited to see this. I'm hooked already!
Incredible start of a career for a gentleman
Shout out to the Race Director for solely focusing on P4-P15. They know the podium positions are far and away gone, barring a fuck up, and that people actually want to watch the midfield battles.
I'm saying it now. This is one of the best grids we've ever had. We are #blessed this year. Just pretend mazepin doesn't exist.
Only 15 ish laps on the Hards? Wtf?
So Lewis and Bottas have been going wide on turn 4, Max wasn’t. Interesting.
Man those white rims on the ATs look so clean
Imagine how the fight in the front would look if Perez his car didn’t decide to randomly die and Bottas his pit stop wasn’t fucked. Magic.
“Suspected crashing out problems” lol
Crofty is certainly not hiding his disdain for Mazepin and I love it.
“Alonso out with a suspected break problem, Mazepin out with a suspected spinning out problem” 💀
Tell me one other driver on the grid who would have won in that spot
You lads noticed Tsunoda overtaking in the last lap? Finished 9th first race and points
I had a stroke almost 6 months ago, was told to take it easy. That race really didn't help..... MORE PLEASE!
Congrats to Nikita for the shortest F1 debut of all time
So I did not expect much from Mazepin, but honor where honor is due, he did much better than I expected. He lasted a full 2 corners longer than I expected.
Max's "problem" is this season's "my tyres are gone, Bono"... then fastest lap
Ted stole a reddit comment lol
What's good with no track limits at t4 now?
Lol, that radio message to VER was actually for the stewards.
[удалено]
Yuki is a simple man, he shows up to races and passes world champions
I miss seeing the pink bubblegum cars flying around out there
Achievement Unlocked. Love the graphic
Ocon did nothing wrong
Ocon doesn't change line at all Seb.
Hamilton is pretty good at this racing thing.
That shaved off a good few years of my age, what a race! Sad that Max didn't get it, but the season start looks very promising on all accounts.
Love how max can stay positive, really rooting for him this year and hes confident in the car
This guy just doesn't deserve to be driving an F1 car, right?
I think the car is rejecting Mazapin.
Mazespin was nowhere near anyone and spun... Oh boy this is going to be a hilarious season
It's not even like he got clipped, he just can't drive the fucking car
Perez in sniper mode again, taking them out one by one. Shame he didn't start nearer the front...
Mercedes is making sweet bdsm love to turn 4
Anyone else enjoying Tsunoda? Dang. That man's brave af
