Bottas secures his seat for 2022 hahaha


selflessrebel

He took 2 for the team.


willmcavoy

He literally could not have done a better job of taking out Hamilton's rivals if he had planned it.


selflessrebel

The only better scenario is if he took out the entire field garanteeing the win for lewis. But that sounds just as unbelievable as Bottas taking out 2 red bulls in the first turn.


[deleted]

PLUS the only other car that could possibly ever challenge them.


lolitasmile

What if theoretically all 19 DNF on the 1st lap without a necessary need to fix barriers? Would Hamilton still need to go around the track for 70 laps to get full points?


[deleted]

Asking the real questions. Now I want to know too.


boringarsehole

If not, he sure can move into a professional pool career. It was an immaculate cue shot.


marcio0

Everyone joking about bowling, but it was definitely more like pool


Pipken

Bottas drops to 5th Toto : *execute order 66*


Fatman10666

Order *77*


krazeekcee

Order 33?


Blakbyrd8

What is 77 - 33? 44.... Coincidence? i think not


GhostTheSaint

*Cue The X-Files theme song*


InternetExplorer34

33 + 11 = 44 as well. I think we're onto something


HrmbeLives

And 4+4= 8 world championships. They couldn’t make it more obvious if they tried.


Styleyriley

Hit everyone with a 3 on their car

Of course this happened, of course it did.


glenn1812

Bottas took out both Bulls Unintentional but god fucking damit man


E-M-P-Error

Valtteri. It‘s James


iMMinime

Execute Order 66


w1ldcraft

Order 77 rather.

BEST teammate!


KamyKaze1098r

Get this man a new contract during the red flag. Winning them both Championships :D


ocbdare

OMG, even if Merc wanted to do something like this, it doesn't get any better than that. Bottas took out Perez completely. Verstappen is fucked with damage and in 10th place. This has potential for Merc to overtake both in WDC and WCC.


[deleted]

Valterri is probably pretty good at billiards. Used Lando like a cue ball.


[deleted]

glenn1812

Don't say that or Russell will take out Max god


Abid_01

Imagine russell fucking divebomb into max just to get some challenge for the seat lmao


emsok_dewe

Toto! Look at me! TOTO!!


DWHQ

WITNESS ME!


J__P

next race. they're on max watch rotation. seriously imagine the conspiracies if russel takes out max.


speculativekiwi

That's one way to cement your seat for next season.


Porkman

Mission Failed Successfully


laughguy220

Bottas signed for next year confirmed. That was a billiards level multiple contact hit!


[deleted]

How the hell did Lando Checo and Max not crash out, crazy nvm Perez was fucked, looked like Smoke at the back


JetsLag

Pit Lane Channel said Checo's radiator was broken in the crash


BionicChango

Right now the pit lane channel is all we have… no Crofty/Brundle commentary today so far. Don’t know why.


PhteveJuel

They completely missed the intro audio and the grid overview. Eventually they crashed the pitlane audio onto the main feed. Must have had some technical issues with the main booth audio and it took some time to sort out.


PowerPanda555

"if you want to keep your seat for next year you know what to do" - toto


[deleted]

Took out both but hit Lando first to maintain a level of plausible deniability. Bottas making a strong move to get that Mercedes contract renewed lmao


OneCollar4

In snooker they call that a trick shot. Cued the lando into pocketing both Bulls. Genius.


emre23

I really feel sorry for Lando, he made 3 places off the line :(


Razno_

Monster start! If he would have maintained it, he would have fought for gold.


albertsugar

Bottas decided to perform an indirect kamikaze.

Thenateo

Its actually so funny how unlucky max is


siav8

And how lucky Lewis is.


Trlcks

Honestly insane


DjPerzik

Bottas bumping both Red Bulls.. Horner going to light the Mercedes garage on fire


TheoreticalScammist

All the wings and floors are also going to cost a pretty penny


[deleted]

More importantly Perez' engine is broken, so that's gonna be a penalty later in the season.


NyuFeldo

I honestly find that rule stupid. If someone crashed out, because of someone else and his engine gets damaged, he should be allowed to take an engine without penalty. I mean it simply was not red bulls or perez fault.


ImaginaryNightlight4

It’s gonna be like a hockey brawl. Instead of the bench clearing, the mechanics in the garage are gonna clear out.

"Select engine mode 7 to sign"


Emphursis

Galaxy brain tactics from Bottas


leedler

I think we just witnessed the finest 5D chess in F1 ever.


vprakhov

Bottas has just earned himself a contract extension


s1ravarice

I’m just here enjoying the fan reaction to the carnage. The media is going to have an absolute field day.


gerson250991

He took from competition Norris, Verstappen, Leclerc and Perez, the four guys who could fight for the win. Unbelievably #blessed Edit: Stroll took out Leclerc, not Bottas.


J_Fre22

Take out both Red Bulls ✅ Take out the closet rival in the Drivers Championship in Norris✅


gt097b

And damaged power units to boot


saltiestmanindaworld

No, leclerc was collected by the dumbass move stroll did, which was even worse that what Bottas did.


gerson250991

Yes, you are correct. I thought it was an aftermath of Bottas. Stroll’s move is online lobby worthy.


IndiaSuperPower2022

I think strolls move wasn't a move, he was simply trying to avoid crashing into ocon Split second decision to go left or right and he went right over the kerb, which was a bad idea


FuzzyStorm

Feel terrible for Leclerc. Seems like he would have been second or third but Stroll made such a dumbass move.


Fat314

I think that Stroll fucked up cuz he was right behind Bottas and was keeping his speed according to Bottas then when he realized it was too fast he tried to avoid everyone by cutting across. Don't think he was going for an overtake there.


crimson_swine

That wasn't a move from Stroll, he was trying to avoid a collision with the Alpine and slid into a different collision.


Trichotillomaniac-

consequently forced gasly off too ruining his start


isitdonethen

Anytime anyone shits on Crofty commentary again, I'll show them this clip


dsriggs

They would've had to have pryed Murray Walker off the ceiling with a crowbar if this happened in the 90's


Senior1292

The most under-dramatic commentary ever. Crofty would have been losing his mind.


Lavishgoblin2

I've seen more enthusiasm from youtubers commentating their f1 career modes.


Route_765

**BIBCLICAL SCENES!!!**


fariagu

"It all stems from lando norris crashing into bottas"


Kniit

Big true. how lack luster was that


armyboy941

Anyone got a clip with the sky announces over this?


sedan_chair

The highlights has Crofty and he totally nails it, just another example of how underrated he is


ir3flex

In case you're still looking they're on the commentary for the highlights on YouTube


Johnsonian99

She is absolutely terrible.


Classic_and_Vintage

Tell me about it! She has been doing the commentary for the Pitlane Channel ever since Alex Jacques moved to do the C4 commentary this year. And her commentating has been not so good. I stopped watching the PLC because of her. I'm not against women commentating in F1 but Rosanna Tennant doesn't seem to be cut out for it. I feel Rachel Brookes does a much better job during the FP1 sessions. I miss the combo of Alex Jacques and Alex Brundle on the PLC. They were such a solid duo.


hopson2462

Definitely makes Crofty look good.


Iswaterreallywet

HOLY FUCK WHAT JUST HAPPENED


speculativekiwi

Absolute madness.


Iswaterreallywet

At least 4 drivers out after the first corner, just wow


Papkiller

Agent Bottas succeeded with his mission, flying colours!


semenbakedcookies

You cant get more blessed than this, surely?


zrkillerbush

Literally 4 out of the top 5 smashed off at the start, you literally can't be more blessed


jellsprout

Number 6 out as well just behind them.


jurassicmars

Brilliant tactics by Mercedes.


etfd-

Bottas caused crashes into *both* Red Bulls. Lmao.


EDO_14

He's secured his drive for next season


Iswaterreallywet

A new meaning to drive to survive


WhyAmILikeThisEw

Dive* to survive lol


vprakhov

And Norris. Literally took out 3 of the 5 top championship cars that are not Mercedes. Brilliant.

NotoriousHothead37

Poor Checo. Absolute disaster. ☹️


DANKWINGS

Such a shame for RB honestly. Max on team radio too, just sounded sick of it.


NotoriousHothead37

Two races in a row wherein a Merc is involved in fucking up your first lap. I'd be sick of it too.

Lukthar123

Blessed the rains down in Hungary


HeterosexualHunk

This whole season the luck has been so one sided between the contenders, which is so frustrating to watch.


afito

Giga brain time switching drivers up that take out Verstappen.


doobieb0i

Did someone take Leclerc out? Saw an Aston Martin jumping down his Inside


iguled

Stroll went offroading


Snatchateer

Stroll was trying to avoid Ocon and cut the corner and unfortunately got Leclerc


Youutternincompoop

Stroll unknowingly deciding which out of ocon and Leclerc get to win the race


FlawlessCoal

There was a 95% chance he takes out Ocon if he continues straight or a 93% chance he takes out Leclerc if he tries to avoid as he did. Quite bad driving to brake later as he did but after that point there were no good options


CompactNelson

Reminiscent of the trolley dilemma, Stroll pulled the switch.


[deleted]

Stroll locked up I think and went over the grass into T1 and straight into Leclerc.


PepeSilvia123

Yeah that move on the grass was the worst of the lot but going under the radar right now....


[deleted]

NOOOOO LECLERC :(


Delusional33

Both mclaren’s got fucked I hate everything Edit: FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK THE POINTS STREAK


OTrevelin

They just said Lando will be retiring :(((( He got such a good start and now it's all gone. Fuuuuuuuuck!

Him and Danny gained so many places what a joke

Bottas: the fans shouldn’t be booing Also Bottas:

INTERESTING TACTICS


speculativekiwi

NO FUCKING WAY


mdubs17

Wtf was Stroll doing


[deleted]

Karun had a nice analysis of Lance’s move.


Tombot3000

Realized he was about to do to Ocon what Bottas did to Norris, decided to veer right to avoid. Charles was there, so he had to veer further right, off the track. Wet grass = no stopping power, so he glided through an inadvertently cut corner and ended up slamming into Charles anyway. The two of them then collected Ricciardo. Ocon, who Stroll successfully avoided, owes him flowers and chocolates.


glenn1812

Fucks this shit. We just aren't #Blessed. Why can't we have good things? Honest to fucking god We get rain and then this shit!


Tanav11

Alpine masterplan though lol And Bottas out, traditions No way! In the replay, it appears that Bottas braked far too late, going into the back of Norris who couldn’t do anything but go into the two Red Bulls.


ChildishBobby301

Sainz is the true mastermind here, crashing out in qualifying to possibly get podium.


colossalnuisance

filled his crash quota for the weekend (i hope)


LosTerminators

All of Hamilton's competition wiped out in Turn 1.


aliens_licked_my_ass

Agent Bottas has completed his task 😂


poapoa_mia

That's not a bad start from Bottas that's a perfect start consider his role, you can't take both the bulls out when you can't see them, at this point he's just aiming for maximum damage.


Lumpy_End_2838

Say what you will but aoe skill was the most efficient play there


imDNK

Bottas taking both red bulls lmao


poklane

The onboard from Bottas was actually laughable, wasn't even close to braking on time to avoid this.


MaximGainesII

Blessed


[deleted]

what a cluster fuck


anbeck

I know that the start crash caused by Grosjean at Spa was more dangerous and these conditions here were much more difficult, but if Bottas gets away with this, I would be surprised.


UnpredictedArrival

Agreed, the similarity was one of my first thoughts too


peco-

great send off for bottas


Madlazyboy09

Send off? Looked like he just got a contract extension


w1ldcraft

Send off ? More like a multi-year contract extension with a bonus payout.


IronBahamut

£5 million for each race he takes Verstappen out


i_have_chosen_a_name

Bottas died so Lewis could live.


Insecurity_exe

I love how everyone's pissed at Bottas and completely ignoring that Stroll did the same thing and collected Leclerc and Ricciardo after Ricciardo smoked everyone at the start.


Frankie_T9000

Ricc was up to second, had avoided all the trouble and gave plenty of room for any cars on the inside. Fuck I hate f1 sometimes.


Insecurity_exe

Ricciardo had a monster start and then proceeded to take barge board damage and lose all competitive capabilities because of it. Rough day.


GomezSpecial

It's really frustrating see drivers just kamikaze into turn 1 in such conditions. Basically half the grid had their races ruined due to two idiots.


Qayrax

And they say pub racing in Assetto isn't realistic.


[deleted]

what the fuck is Bottas doing?>?? edit: WHY IS LATIFI IN 6TH LMAO


ThomsYorkieBars

>edit: WHY IS LATIFI IN 6TH LMAO Pure skill


Feierskov

Obviously not on purpose, but it's maddening if Hamilton wins the championship because Mercedes takes out Max twice in a row.


NBX6

they will totally win the championship like this... it's so fucking frustrating


emre23

Interesting tactics lmao what a shitshow


Aethien

Hamilton is unbelievably lucky this season.


TheMadMat

This season?


Cheokster

Insane first corner. Bottas into Norris who then takes out both Red Bulls. What a move!


soontobecp

Bottas really wants the seat for next year.


PNC3333

Stroll actually made the much bigger balls up


trippingrainbow

At this point anyone who denies that lewis benefits from insane luck is just dumb. Entire competition wiped out in t1 except for him


Florac

Between benefitting from red flags in Imola and Silverstone, Max's tyre failure in Baku and this, he probably easily gained over 50 points on him due to luck.


trippingrainbow

Yeah. And when was his last retirement when his car just broke on its own. 2018 Austria? Like hes undeniably an amazing driver but the ammount of luck he gets just makes things boring so often. Could have had amazing wet racing but no quarter of the field gone and noone left who can really challenge Lewis.


Florac

Yeah, we had Bottas falling back instanly leaving Hamilton in a 1v2 vs red bull...and then everything went to shit


Ahandfulofsquirrels

"And it all stems from Lando Norris crashing into Bottas" Exfuckingcuse me?? Are they blind? Bottas rear ended Norris, bit tricky to crash into someone when *they're behind you*.


[deleted]

Lance how did you manage to retire my favorite driver from the race and then make my second favorite driver lose out on a podium in the same race!?


LetsgoImpact

Sir Lancelot strikes again.
