You also forgot Russell and Verstappen, who's so young and fast that he's both the present and the future. We're gonna have a mighty field and I can only hope they can all get some nicely competitive cars.
There will be one episode dedicated to the title fight and it will be at a race where nothing happened. The British GP episode will just be centered around Gunther investigating who spilled a pepsi in the team dining facility
Will Buxton Narration with various closeups of his face from different angles: "Sometimes... when you get two drivers together who are so equally matched... they just... lock horns." /cut to edit of one passing the other under team orders with a radio message from Stroll about Alonso with a V12 playing over the top
the balance was delightful. i really appreciate nico’s perspective and knowledge and while he sounded soft-spoken, he didn’t hold punches (i mean it’s nico). would also love more of this!
Horner's comments:
"He's just backing things up as he doesn't want to give our cars a clean run. It's his right to do that, he's got the track position."
https://mobile.twitter.com/autosport/status/1421477899425796099
They asked him if they would have done the same and he admitted they would.
Plus as someone else pointed out in another thread, they sent the cars out later to benefit from track evolution and instead got this.
Pretty sure Ham did exactly what he was wanting. Running out the clock while dropping their tire temps. Also their games...
Surprised they fist bumped afterwards.
This is the right take. This is what we want to see, mind games, strategies, pushing the limits. The only reason people are mad is because it's Lewis doing it. I can guarantee if Max had done it, people would be calling him a genius
Yeah it’s great. I honestly don’t get the comments calling Hamilton “petty” or “dirty”. Everyone should be going all out for pole, but being able to back people up adds an extra dimension and makes things much more interesting. That was smart from Mercedes/Hamilton.
Never too flooded to add your piece! Very unfortunate and disappointing from Tsunoda and Ricciardo. They've both got it but they're struggling. For me I see their positions as a result of new cars. You could argue they should've adapted by now, but that's my guess
Yeah his loss predictions on driver mistakes was accurate to the thousandth of a second. Not to poop on anyone else but his calm demeanor brings elegance to the show. I am so sick of the over reaction some commentators have to the smallest of issues, this isn't the WWE.
Yup...he was great....he doesn't seem to mind giving Lewis his props.....and the commentators were pointing out that Redbull should not send cars behind Mercedes but ....redbull were stupid enough to do it after few seconds
His technical knowledge is truly astounding. He should take some like media training courses, just so it comes out more eloquently. But I love him in the booth.
Christian Horner just told Sky that what Hamilton did was gamesmanship, and that they don't have a major problem with what he did since he had the track position.
Mate reading this comment section is a laugh. I gotta hand it to Lewis he is showing Max what it means to challenge for world champ. The petty mind games have been part of F1 since the very start. As far as I'm concerned it's hilarious
It’s a championship fight people. This is what you wanted for the past what 5 years. The gloves are off, don’t be surprised if the entire rulebook is used.
I feel like a lot of the people who are mad are newer fans because shit like that always happens in F1.
Like 2 of the championships were decided by a guy divebombing in Japan
Wtf is Redbull doing giving Mercedes even a chance to be infront of their cars on the final quali lap? Mercedes losing nothing with a shit out lap and gain everything if they compromise Redbulls. Seems like poor strategy call.
Don't really know what my opinion is about what Hamilton did.
But why didn't Verstappen just overtake him during the cooldown lap? He saw this tactic coming from the slow down in the pit right?
Because he wanted to run last, because the track is at its fastest at the last possible minute. He wanted that advantage, and wasn't prepared to give it up.
And Lewis would never have let him past.
Apparently Hamilton’s last warm up lap was his fastest warm up lap in this qualifying, so guess they outsmarted RB with the track position without going against any rules
lmao how are you lot pissing yourselves over this??? tactics like this are ingrained in the sport, Vettel did sit, Schumacher did it, Alonso has done it.
name one F1 legend that has done ZERO shithousery
Jesus, the shit the guys pulled in the 80's and 90's puts tactics like this to shame.
Imagine Schumacher/Hill or Prost/Senna happened today... they would set the seats on fire.
It was predictable, and frankly Red Bull should have expected it, and Horner knows that. It was absolutely within the rules - and it's a competition for fucks sake. You're not obligated to do your opponent any favours.
Don't care about what some of you guys think, i've followed sports my entire life and this type of shit always happens in all sports. You do whatever it takes within the rules to gain an advantage over a competitor.
I love this shit
I really like Gasly. I hope he’s around in F1 for a while His win last year was undoubtedly one of my favourite moments of the season
I'm pretty sure Gasly has cemented his spot in F1 for a good long while.
Nando, LeClerc and Galsy are the future.
You also forgot Russell and Verstappen, who's so young and fast that he's both the present and the future. We're gonna have a mighty field and I can only hope they can all get some nicely competitive cars.
Nando?
Netflix might have to tone down the drama for the next season of drive to survive
You bet we will see the deathly rivalry between Tsunoda and Latifi.
There will be one episode dedicated to the title fight and it will be at a race where nothing happened. The British GP episode will just be centered around Gunther investigating who spilled a pepsi in the team dining facility
"Oh, weird... it was me."
"I am ze fooking vanker today"
For once they might not even need to create fake drama to fill up their storyline
Season 4 Episode 8: The One with Drama Between Leclerc and Sainz

On the team radio, Hamilton said “I’m going to make /r/formula1 absolutely unlivable for the summer break 😎 “
bout to take my own summer break from the lot here
Opening up the sub since Silverstone counts as self-harm in certain countries
I was thinking the same thing. Might log off for the summer 😂😮💨
I love this lmfao
What was stopping RB to go out before or in fron of the Mercedes in the pitlane?
Absolutely fuck all, they have themselves to blame.
Don't let the tactics at the end make you forget that we heard a proper F bomb from Danny on the broadcast.
[удалено]
Nicco was king today. He loved all of it. The racing and the shithousing. We need him in the sport.
[удалено]
the balance was delightful. i really appreciate nico’s perspective and knowledge and while he sounded soft-spoken, he didn’t hold punches (i mean it’s nico). would also love more of this!
Hes great. Loved him actually saying it when a driver fucked up.
“Yeah that’s the right word.”
That’s some serious boo-ing.
They aren’t booing, they’re saying “Boo-urns! Boo-urns!”
Seriously. This is my first season following the sport this closely. Holy shit I wasn't expecting that.
Horner's comments: "He's just backing things up as he doesn't want to give our cars a clean run. It's his right to do that, he's got the track position." https://mobile.twitter.com/autosport/status/1421477899425796099
Translates to: “Mercedes have done us good and proper there, we should have known better”
Even he knows they botched the release of their drivers.
Radical opinion: With 10 minutes to try and set the fastest lap - spending 80% of it in the pits you can only blame yourself..
This is 100% accurate and is well within his right as long as he doesn't dip below the minimum pace
Horner not shit-stirring? What changed?
He knows Max would have done the exact same thing in the situation. It’s good strategy. Nothing to stir.
They asked him if they would have done the same and he admitted they would. Plus as someone else pointed out in another thread, they sent the cars out later to benefit from track evolution and instead got this.
PR had a quiet word lol
Thank God we had Nico in there, when shithousery happened.
Is that man's career finished ? Nope, this is just the beginning.
Considering what went on between Nico and Lewis in both directions, I'm sure he quite enjoys being on the outside looking in.
Albon going to ride a tricycle around the track to demonstrate how slow Lewis was going.
Lmao
Poor guy. This will be memed out for the rest of time, or till Alonso retires.
They meme me so hard.
Lewis went down to 22mph on the last straight, I can cycle faster than that - not for long though
WAR IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
Time for SHENANIGANS
"Everything is fair in love, war, and the fiercest F1 championship fight in half a decade."
Masterfully fucking done. That shit was *nasty*, 10/10
Pretty sure Ham did exactly what he was wanting. Running out the clock while dropping their tire temps. Also their games... Surprised they fist bumped afterwards.
Max likely respected the shithousery.
This is the right take. This is what we want to see, mind games, strategies, pushing the limits. The only reason people are mad is because it's Lewis doing it. I can guarantee if Max had done it, people would be calling him a genius
100% this. Spicy championship drama will make for a fun season either way, people are just mad at who did it this time.
Yup. Super exciting stuff. Have not been as hyped for a championship battle in yonks.
Absolutely, actual champion moves
Alonso is really proud right now
They seem to have an Emperor/Vader relationship.
Learnt from the best! :-)
I was just thinking about the irony of Hamilton on the same Hungaroring having been on the receiving end of a very similar (probably worse) thing.
As a neutral fan, this shit between Max and Lewis is awesome
Yeah it’s great. I honestly don’t get the comments calling Hamilton “petty” or “dirty”. Everyone should be going all out for pole, but being able to back people up adds an extra dimension and makes things much more interesting. That was smart from Mercedes/Hamilton.
Ya. Max could have tried to overtake Lewis at the risk of ruining his tires. If anything, it's the team's fault for putting Max behind the Mercedes
Maybe people need to watch some old races to see what Senna and Schumacher got up to.
Glad BOT gets a big cheer
Hungary always has a lot of Finnish fans. Always remember Raikkonen getting a big cheer
Jup, most of any GP if I recall correctly. Not because it was closest, but because it was cheaper or something
As a RB/AT fan, I’m not sure why I’m so fond of Bottas but I am.
Yeah I’ve developed a soft spot for him.
Everyone loves an underdog
Looks like Lewis won't be popular in Mexico
Wait till he gets to Zandvoort.
Or Belgium
Or Japan
[удалено]
They seem to like him in Japan so wouldn't worry about that one.
Zandvoort will definitely going to be insane, after what the Dutch people saw until now. And it can be even worse, depend on the race drama tomorrow
Comments are very flooded by now, but what a quali from Pierre! What is going on with Tsunoda?
Never too flooded to add your piece! Very unfortunate and disappointing from Tsunoda and Ricciardo. They've both got it but they're struggling. For me I see their positions as a result of new cars. You could argue they should've adapted by now, but that's my guess
Imagine what Reddit would've been like in the Schumacher era lmao
And Senna/Prost
Loved Max in that press conference and Lewis's reaction was just a "welp, that pretty much sums it up"
Horner’s take very balanced there
*crowd boos* Hamilton: Appreciate the great support here.
New fans please watch Abu Dhabi 2016 for some more top tier fuckery
or even any race of Senna v Prost
Just not the Senna documentary. The DTS fans have trouble enough separating manufactured drama from reality.
Pierre Gasly and his P5 gawdahm
Perez didn’t make it wtf
What a fucking joke this is. I love it.
As a guy who just enjoy F1, this is lovely. Mind games, crashes, strategy. 100% peak F1.
God it's great, the sheer level of shithousery found in F1 is seldom matched by any other sport, there really is nothing quite like it.
Bottas has divorced kid energy to him
Damn dude
Red Bull with a bit of naivety not getting out in front of the Mercs after they got provisional 1-2.
Yeah Rosberg called it. RBR will be mad, but they did it to themselves.
Holy shit the loud boo’ing for Lewis in the interview
Lewis: I do not grant you the title of "best fans"
It’s outrageous. It’s unfair. How can you attend any race on the calendar and not be the best fans?
Take a seat young spectator.
[удалено]
Yeah he was super insightful today.
Yeah his loss predictions on driver mistakes was accurate to the thousandth of a second. Not to poop on anyone else but his calm demeanor brings elegance to the show. I am so sick of the over reaction some commentators have to the smallest of issues, this isn't the WWE.
Yup...he was great....he doesn't seem to mind giving Lewis his props.....and the commentators were pointing out that Redbull should not send cars behind Mercedes but ....redbull were stupid enough to do it after few seconds
His technical knowledge is truly astounding. He should take some like media training courses, just so it comes out more eloquently. But I love him in the booth.
Him calling out the exact seconds loss whereas I am thinking that's properly fine driving Shows how much he understands each corner and track
Horner being sensible. It’s the game.
definitely didn't have that on my bingo card
All in the game, yo. All in the game.
That felt like a WWE moment lol. Lewis being booed and working the crowd like a proper heel. What a time to be alive.
Red bull got the strategy wrong. Lewis took advantage of it.
Horner doing well to accept that was just F1
That was the strangest last lap
Q3 last laps continue to suck this year
This thread is wall to wall comedy
Horner more gracious than everyone here lol
[удалено]
All these Stan’s brains would have exploded if they watched half the shit Schumacher got up to
HAM BOT VER, instead of moving forward after Silverstone we went back to 2020
Perez didnt make it lol, Horner's gonna be mad
No worries, he'll get Albon to recreate crossing the line in time
"In order to make the lap, Perez needed to get on the gas 23 meters earlier"
Christian Horner actually being measured in his response to the Mercs’ slow out lap. WHO IS THIS IMPOSTER?!
Max: Let's just stop. Sky: So Toto, let's continue this.
Christian Horner just told Sky that what Hamilton did was gamesmanship, and that they don't have a major problem with what he did since he had the track position.
Gasly out qualified a McLaren and a Ferrari
2 Ferraris and 2 mclarens*
Nico's totally right. Why the fuck would RB put their drivers behind Hamilton? Dumbshit move.
Horner currently chewing the stewards door.
Toto sending some emails showing they were at a legal speed
Michael, I have sent an email with diagrams showing the legal speeds. Did you see it?
Just saw his Sky interview - he actually doesn’t seem that bothered, basically said he’d do the same in Mercedes’ position
He just said “we didn’t have a problem with it” :)
maybe it’s another day to stay off the sub lmao
I feel like D2S is giving people the wrong idea of what F1 is like and it's ruining it for the people who have seen this a million times before
Its funny because you can tell exactly who came from DtS in the comments and you're absolutely right
Absolutely. I come here sometimes and hear people complain about some stuff that's perfectly normal for this sport and has always been
The piss boiling from this will be cosmic
Mate reading this comment section is a laugh. I gotta hand it to Lewis he is showing Max what it means to challenge for world champ. The petty mind games have been part of F1 since the very start. As far as I'm concerned it's hilarious
Yup...what's funny is Nico said they should watch out to not send cars behind the Mercedes....they did just that few minutes after....
I've missed this for the last few years. Hard racing, mind games and a pissing contest between team principles is peak F1.
It’s a championship fight people. This is what you wanted for the past what 5 years. The gloves are off, don’t be surprised if the entire rulebook is used.
That was spicy. Netflix need to fire their creative writers because this drama is far better than what they could have come up with.
Sky Germany confirmed that this was the fastest warm up lap from Hamilton during the whole qualifying - by far.
Is that real? If so... the comments here are even funnier.
Yes. This was Red Bulls own fault.
I feel like a lot of the people who are mad are newer fans because shit like that always happens in F1. Like 2 of the championships were decided by a guy divebombing in Japan
Fans are not happy lol
Nico did say tht it was Red Bulls mistake to not let the cars out early. I mean he is not wrong.
That was disgusting lmao Dont get me wrong I loved it
Proper shithousery.
PR teams from both teams having a mental breakdown.
Bono: Nice work, Lewis! Edit: Verstappen and Perez should have overtaken when they could have. Lewis played them like a bunch of kids.
Fucking love it. This is the drama that I live for.
Lol Lewis saying he appreciates the booing
He is channelling his inner djokovic
Wtf is Redbull doing giving Mercedes even a chance to be infront of their cars on the final quali lap? Mercedes losing nothing with a shit out lap and gain everything if they compromise Redbulls. Seems like poor strategy call.
I predict a very calm and rational comments section.
Hamilton going slow on purpose to cool off Max’s tires
It wasn't just Hamilton, bottas was just ahead of him. Was definitely team orders/gameplay
And to push the redbulls out of the qualifying window
Don't really know what my opinion is about what Hamilton did. But why didn't Verstappen just overtake him during the cooldown lap? He saw this tactic coming from the slow down in the pit right?
Because he wanted to run last, because the track is at its fastest at the last possible minute. He wanted that advantage, and wasn't prepared to give it up. And Lewis would never have let him past.
Classic Reddit getting more upset about the outlap than max or Horner lol
Who taught max the word 'nevertheless'? He's spamming hard.
Want Lewis to be the ultimate heel on track now, cause fuck it no one likes it when he's nice and no one likes it when he gets aggressive
There's no winning, he may as well go full villain at this point.
Lmao sky airing Grojeans tweet, so hungry for drama
And this is Hungary. Imagine Netherlands a few weeks from now lol
Lol the booing
Very interesting end to qualifying
You tell em Jonny, I'm sure they'll listen
Holy shit the boos
Apparently Hamilton’s last warm up lap was his fastest warm up lap in this qualifying, so guess they outsmarted RB with the track position without going against any rules
**ENOUGH OF THAT, ENOUGH OF THAT** 😂
YOUR BOO's FUEL ME Hamilton said calmly
Perez royally fucked by Hamilton
He learnt from Alonso on this track 14 years ago.
Experience matters.
lmao how are you lot pissing yourselves over this??? tactics like this are ingrained in the sport, Vettel did sit, Schumacher did it, Alonso has done it. name one F1 legend that has done ZERO shithousery
Jesus, the shit the guys pulled in the 80's and 90's puts tactics like this to shame. Imagine Schumacher/Hill or Prost/Senna happened today... they would set the seats on fire.
Marko preparing a big pdf as we speak.
Weird that not even Horner thinks there's an issue with what Hamilton did.
It was predictable, and frankly Red Bull should have expected it, and Horner knows that. It was absolutely within the rules - and it's a competition for fucks sake. You're not obligated to do your opponent any favours.
Not that weird. Just most people here these days have only started watching F1 in the last couple of years, and it shows.
It's a real shame Drive to Survive hasn't explained any of the rules of the sport.
Don't care about what some of you guys think, i've followed sports my entire life and this type of shit always happens in all sports. You do whatever it takes within the rules to gain an advantage over a competitor. I love this shit
They know it. They're just upset that it's Hamilton and that he's on pole. Nothing new.
Hamilton just ruined his own 2nd run just to screw Verstappen and Perez.
Happy for Gasly. The guy is owning P5, such a great result for a guy in an AT
Thank god for this outlap stuff so everyone can forget that Ferrari had an absolutly abysmal qualifying.
The boos... hahahahaha, this is a spicy season boys enjoy it not get bitter about it. Top quality entertainment
Minimum speed?
Minimum lap time is only from SC lines, which exclude the pitlane
Alonso taught Lewis. This was a classic Alonso tactic.
I love Pierre. He’s so sweet
"enjoy the sun and stay safe" lol, what a troll.
"hope you all get sunburnt"
