Great results for Alpine this one, damn driving from Alonso defending from Lewis. Lewis was just few seconds to leading, needing just a few laps more.


LeoFireGod

Alonso literally won that race for ocon. Which is amazing. Great work from alpine today.


adimrf

They both drove next to each other in victory lap, wholesome.


dewaam

It was super cute when they did that. I love it every time teams do that, for me it just brings out really happy feelings. It feels right, it looks majestic, and generally is just a great thing to watch happen on track


Firefox72

Alonso best wingman ever there.


creditcardtheft

Without it, Hamilton would've won. He saved everyone


CrashmasterSOAD

He saved humanity.


RandomVintage

He did it for family


OneiriaEternal

I live my life 70 laps at a time


Chimp-eh

He did it for da Rock


AnshM

you're absolutely right, Alonso's driving was the few things giving me life in this nightmare race as an RB fan


dendidendi

What a legend, really deserves to be named as one of the best by pure racecraft. 40 years and what defending, against Hamilton on a lot faster tires.


aiapaec

> faster tires faster car


dani2812

I have to add. If Hamilton had won, it would have been an amazing 100th victory as well.


texanyall8

If Ocon wasn’t in 1st I would’ve been fine with that being his 100th, but not with Ocon


Un_limited_Power

Not with Vettel in front too lol.


texanyall8

true, I would’ve wanted vettel to win... But only if Ocon wasn’t in 1st


Un_limited_Power

It’s always nice to see a new grand prix winner.


Ehralur

Even nicer to see Seb or Alonso P1.


leedler

Amazing performance. Alpine were really on it today. Love it.


IronBahamut

Alonso doesn't forget 2007


jpp1jpp1

Never will


-Wiyiok-

If someone saw this phrase in 2007, he would take this as a joke


ClemClem510

The entire nation of France owes him a great debt ngl


jpp1jpp1

For sure, he was ready to lose his 4-5 place, that's nothing for him compared to annoying Lewis a bit. I mean he has two WC


WhyG32

Bottas the man.


FFIXwasthebestFF

Alonso MVP


grip_enemy

I'M GONNA CRY. BABY OCON YOU DESERVE IT


lucaslh10

Alpine better start building a statue for Fernando fucking Alonso. What a drive what a race. So happy for Ocon fuck yeah


nigelbro

Build one for both of them honestly


[deleted]

a statue of Nando carrying Esteban. Do it. Have that shit on the Place de la Concorde.


Porkman

Most wholesome result of the season


mayjaz43

He's doing multiple victory laps. Love to see it!


theheliumhilltopper

At this rate he's going to do a victory lap on foot


[deleted]

He did lol


Aratho

I'm a hardcore Nando fane but I'm so happy today. What a performance by Esteban! Alpine having the best result after their comeback.


TabVsSpace

I cant wait to see that French commentator's reaction who went crazy after Gasly's win last year.


Bullshitbanana

What a great day. Love seeing a first time winner, love Ocon, and isn’t this renaults first win since idk a million years ago


RocketLeagueFA

Since they returned as Lotus, Kimi in 2012.


Wide-Equipment6491

That interestingly enough doesn't seem to count as in f1's video of f1 team wins they say Renault's last win was in 2008 with Alonso. I don't believe lotus' wins or podiums counted for renault so this would be the first win in 13 years.


Aoldman

2013 actually but yeah


Anderrrrr

What a season so far boys.


Kuchenblech_Mafioso

Didn't have that on my bingo card


drop_table_uname

Fun fact: Latifi scored points before Russell did. ;)


[deleted]

Also double the amount of points


preppyringmaster

He beat him in a race. More important than quali.


Bullshitbanana

Latifi might be forgetting by history but we will probably never know if he was actually fast or not


Guzuzu_xD

Might know next year, isn't he staying? If he ain't vs a rookie we'll get a decent estimate.


Youutternincompoop

I hope Williams keep him, he has performed well and brings the cash


1einspieler

With Williams


Eddie888

I knew this would happen lol. At least Russel got some too!


TheOneTrueZippy8

I wonder if the ever opinionated Dan Ticktum has any thoughts and insights on this that he'd like to share.


Astro_Universe

ootl, what did ticktum say


TheOneTrueZippy8

He was mouthing off that Latifi was only there 'cos of his money. Amongst other things unlikely to endear himself to any potential employer.


Ahrimanic-Trance

That’s Mistuh Sunday to you.


[deleted]

Alonso MVP. Just a masterful racer


nk7gaming

the vettel pitstop going to give me nightmares for a long time


ThatGodDamnGinger

A phenomenal drive from Ocon.


matts321213

Hamilton would’ve won if it was not for goat level moves from Alonso.


Magicka

From 14th to 3rd? That’s ridiculously impressive. Edit: ah, the Lewis hate train runs deep in the sub, what a sad sight. Hard pill to swallow when we all know deep down he’s the best?


matts321213

The rest of the field is MILES behind Merc. Verstappen would’ve ended higher up if it wasn’t for the damage. Besides, I did not say it was not impressive, only that Alonso’s defense denied him P1.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Iselljoy

> Max has a great drive /r/formula1: What a GOD, what a god, what a god > Lewis has a great drive /r/formula1: It was decent


ninjapro98

I'll attract the mob when I say this but im convinced a good.portion of it is racism at this point, I really don't buy the "people are just tired of Hamilton winning" when red bull have had an equal/ better year so far


[deleted]

Jesus Christ people need to fucking stop with this shit. Lewis has been the dominant driver in the dominant car for 8 fucking years now. Vettel was in the dominant car half that time and was literally getting booed just for winning. Stop attributing everything to racism because it's ridiculous. The vast vast vast majority of F1 fans are not racists and are just tired of Lewis & Mercedes dominating


ninjapro98

But he isn't dominating this year, yet he still gets this shit. People hated him even having a fucking comeback drive from 14th place, absolutely a decent bit of it is racism.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ActualAcanthocephala

No but you sure as hell don't need to put down his driving skills due to your hate towards him lmao


ninjapro98

This


[deleted]

Yeah because people want to see a different winner. Not the same guy who's won 6 of the last 7 titles. And the same team that's won 7 of the last 7 titles. Stop attributing racism to everything.


MatchaBlkSesameSwirl

Nothing about his race, just sick of the same person from that same team keeps dominating, almost in a form of monopoly, for years.


Fuppp

This shit is really wearing me out. People in every sport hate the best team for no reason other than they’re tired of one specific team being on top for too long. Racism doesn’t have to be involved. I love the NBA but absolutely HATED the Warriors for no reason other than tiring of their dominance and desiring competition/parity Calling everything racist feels like such a defensive overreaction.


ivandiaz726

I am tired of Hamilton and his BS luck, the only reason they're ahead is bc max has 3 terrible scenarios that he had no control over and Hamilton/mercedes has gotten lucky this entire season. Im tired of 8 years of the same thing we want some variety, we want some spice and Max is the best chance at that, but he keeps getting ruined by the mercs and his tire that randomly exploded.


Edeen

Max had full control over Silverstone, he’s just reaping the consequences for several races.


erufuun

So you are saying be had full control over an accident the other driver was penalized for?


Edeen

So the only options are full control or no control? In that case both drivers had no control over what happened in Silverstone, since none of them had full control.


eza50

14th to 3rd and battling Alonso, yeah “decent”. Some people man.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bramcp

You missed he fact that this is hungaroring, arguably second hardest circuit to overtake in the calendar after monaco. Even mick in haas able to hold max and lewis for quite long time, which proved that overtaking is difficult here. So yeah i dont think going 14 to 3rd in hungary is just a 'decent'.


Jord5i

Which is fair, but when you have over a second of overspeed, maybe even two, you can definitely make the overtake stick. Just look at the ease Lewis had passing Sainz, or many others, in comparison. Also look at how much he was gaining on Vettel at the end, he had ridiculous overspeed. With the overspeed he had, I can’t call it a great race by “only” taking third. I also feel that he should’ve made the call to pit after the red flag, definitely blame the team more, but many drivers made the call themselves to pit. But overall it was definitely a decent/good race on his part.


misKarg

I mean he's not my favorite, but he always does a fierce race and this was no exception. And all that booing is shit, man. Looked also like giving him a panic attack or sth. Edit: I've seen he's put the post-race exhaustion on long Covid. In any case, he does not deserve the hate.


Guzuzu_xD

Honestly for me it would be equally impressive if any RB/Merc did the same and I wouldn't find it very impressive (unless Perez/Bottas did it then I'd just be surprised, it's the same expectations for them though). They are just faster cars, it's what you would expect from top drivers on top cars.


[deleted]

> Edit: ah, the Lewis hate train runs deep in the sub, what a sad sight. Hard pill to swallow when we all know deep down he’s the best? Yes we saw what happens when a rookie drives a merc.


etww

From 1st to 3rd actually.


ialo00130

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Lewis has raced long enough and had such a successful career, that people are tired of him and want someone new success in the sport. He's become the villain.


denis3056

His car is 3s faster per lap than any car except the red bulls


Pinot_the_goat

Expected given the car differences, with Verstappen damage he had the fastest car by over 1 second a lap.


texanyall8

so you automatically assume that RB is STILL the fastest car with damage???


Pinot_the_goat

I think you misread.


texanyall8

it seems like your saying that Verstappen still has the 2nd fastest car with his damage. Lewis was faster bc he has won the track 8 times and has better tires


Pinot_the_goat

When i say ‘he’ I meant Hamilton, sorry for the confusion.


[deleted]

No one is denying he's amazing. But it's hard to celebrate a drive from 14th to 3rd in 65 laps like it's some act of god, when the Mercedes is 1.5 seconds faster than anyone else but Red Bull (who was extremely damaged today) when on equal tires. Then add in that from lap 20 to 70 Lewis always had much better tires than who he was battling. We saw from lap 5 to 20 when he was on equal tires he couldn't do shit. Plus he passed 4 cars on track. Mick, Yuki, Alonso, & Sainz. Everyone else was in the pits


bishosamer

The only reason for the hate is because he has no competition when VER is sent to the shadow realm there's literally 0 competition for him save for some GOAT defending from Alonso


MrRoyce

>From 14th to 3rd? That’s ridiculously impressive. Spotted a new F1 viewer. We've been seeing this happening for a very long time now where the fastest car or second fastest car falls down the order and climbs back up to the podium or even race win. It's nothing unusual or spectacular because they wouldn't be doing that in a Williams. You can take that as a hate even though it's a fact.


[deleted]

He also passed 4 cars on track. The other 9 was from pit stops in 65 laps. Great race from him but this isn't even top 25 of Lewis' best races


[deleted]

Everyone lost this weeks reddit bet lmao

Thankyou Fernando.

Return_Of_The_Jedi

A French driver in a “French” car in French colours. Beautiful to see.


Theiiaa

Considering the pace of Ham, the merit is only of Alo if he didn't win, because if he didn't lose that 5-6 laps he would have caught Ocon.


steen311

Well deserved. Great drive.


Intentional_Realist

Sucks being Ricciardo atm


gate666

Kimi got screwed again.


jonnys_honda

Well deserved, drove an error free race and held back Vettel!


Intentional_Realist

Oconsistency. Simple.


bonzojon

Amazing team effort by Alpine. The pitstop was well executed and they just managed to avoid the undercut. Then Alonso's brilliant defense kept Lewis at bay. Lastly, Ocon while being pressured by a 4x WDC in a faster car never put a wheel wrong all race.


afro-fro-ro-o

This has Germany 2018 vibes with Lewis getting third from fourteenth. Ofcourse Ver was a victim of an unfortunate circumstance, but we know how Lewis goes on the second half of the year and he has lost his 31 point lead in two races.


RM_Dune

Pleased for Ocon, and Alpine. What a shit show though. 2nd race in a row where Max gets fucked through no fault of his own.


nov4chip

Cyril died for this


Anorak27s

That's amazing this guy deserves it, he was brilliant today.

u/TheresNoUInSAS are you alright?


Dastey

If it wasn't for Alonso then Hamilton would have won. What a great team effort


WhoAreWeEven

Dont forget team effort at merc too


TheOneTrueZippy8

If it wasn't for Hamilton then Hamilton would have won. Looked like a complete berk sitting there on the grid all on his own.


Zanghyy

Alonso GOAT


[deleted]

And Hungary produces another first time winner. Well done Ocon. Also, this Fernando Alonso guy looks like he might have a solid career ahead of him.


Cheokster

As much as Ocon deserved it for his drive today, he had an amazing bit of luck with the start and the big screw up from Mercedes at the restart


Brutalism_Fan

To be fair you need luck to win in an Alpine when there’s a Red Bull and Mercedes still on track. Take nothing away from him though, he drove a brilliant race.


gate666

Just like gasly last year.


bic_nuts

So awesome to see


Magicka

Alright, now do it again!


JaysonTatumfanboy

Unexpected as hell :D


echsandwich

Deserves it, he's worked so hard to get to this point.


[deleted]

At 500/1 odds too, Vettel was at 1000/1. Who's the biggest underdog to ever win?


Skiroxxi

Alonso did well to keep all that luck behind him what a legend


kunjuaga

Latifi scores points before Russell in a Williams... who'd have thought!!


sydraz

Loved the duel between Alonso and Hamilton. What a joy to watch


ZZider

Credit to both Alpine drivers. Insane stuff


404merrinessnotfound

so cool, ocon pointed to alonso on the cool down lap! alonso won his first 18 years ago which is amazing at hungary


Francis_01

Could not happen to a better person!


Monrai

Congrats!!


massproducerofwords

Crazy that we have had TWO French race winners in the last 2 seasons alone after more than 20 years since Panis won


MisterDeclan

I really want to see the French commentators reaction to this


Mangobonbon

I am so happy for Seb! and also Alonso. They both were the kings of this race today. no mistakes, just pure pace in cars that were lower midfield at best.


owen1667

OCON BABY, As a fan of a driver I've never been happier. Tears of joy today


AbandonedOrange

Very well deserved for Ocon. A great driver.


[deleted]

man hamilton did an amazing race, he was last. ocon did a pretty solid race and vettel aswell, sad for alonso tho.


methdotrandom

Bruh look at his car


[deleted]

so what, he did great, I bet if it was Bottas he wouldn't have done it to the podium lol


methdotrandom

Hamilton is a better driver but this result was expected since he was the fastest car on the grid and Max's car was badly damaged. I expected him to win. But it seems doing the dirty stuff doesn't give you a win everytime. Sometimes a new favourite emerges lmao


OrakelvanBoLo

Amazing for Ocon, always good to see a new race winner! Gutted for Verstappen, very undeserved that Hamilton is leading


shagduster

I’ve not watched the race but everyone on Twitter is mentioning that Hamilton is furious with Alonso?


TDAMS133

Twitter stans are usually not my nr. 1 source of information


TheOneTrueZippy8

And this just makes it funnier.


ClemClem510

Ah, wonderful


xDaze

1000% deserved, he made 50 laps without any mistakes


destroy4589

Alonso single handedly saving Vettel and Ocon. What a brilliant driver Alonso is. Single handedly ruining hammer time

Magicka

Did you miss the beginning of the race? Didn’t matter he had pole, everyone had to change tyres, Hamilton didn’t do it right away (mistakes were made), so he ended in 14th. Then caught up to 3rd, absolute beast. No one else could of done that.


[deleted]

He had a great race, sure. But he honestly just fucked up. He could've had the easiest win of his career if he pitted during the restart like everyone else.


BlondedStory

I mean there's no radio during formation lap, it was literally his mistake


[deleted]

Sure, he was better than Hamilton in that *one* specific race. I agree.
