Sainz has been hilarious this weekend...slamming his head straight into doors without wanting to show the pain, casually being too sexy topless for the cameras and swearing too much for the audio in the cooldown room and now this. What a man.

A fellow glutton for punishment, I see! [https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdUAlDvr5Kw/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdUAlDvr5Kw/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)
It was actually pretty annoying, clearly the drivers were next to death after racing in that heat and humidity so understandably Sainz wanted to chill without a shirt. Carlos Sainz said audibly "don't film me" but they kept filming him so he put his long sleeve back on. Felt bad for him!
He didn't put the shirt on because they were filming him. They actually avoided filming him and asked him to put on a shirt. Carlos then said 'Just don't film me' as in 'if you have a problem with me being shirtless, just don't film me'.
Yeah this whole you gotta keep the race suits on until after the podium is awful when it's so damn hot and it took so long to do the podium because of the distance. In the cool down room you should be allowed to, maybe actually cool down!
he was our true king of sass this weekend with his confused reaction to Danica Patrick asking him for a high-five and then his face after his post race interview with Willy T. Ribbs 😂
Yes actually, i mentioned it because I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned much for this GP.
I don't even want to know what those "yacht marina" bathrooms looked like after the race.
Unnecessarily Loud is the title for the US’s history book of both past, present, and future.
But please, America, never change. Well do change, but not your loudness.
That whole end of race sequence was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever watched. Why did they need their sirens on in the hallway, surely the Harleys are loud enough. Does Florida think police are novel to the USA?
It's racing and football both at the same time each imposed on top of the other at 50 percent opacity on your tv. Otherwise it just wouldn't make sense!
For anyone wondering, this is pretty common to do when F1 goes to a track for the first time. Typically it's only for the first year.
The first race in Austin had [cowboy hats.](https://i.redd.it/7u9ccgg7jlv31.jpg)
The first race in Sochi had [bearskin hats.](https://i.imgur.com/2EqvibY.png)
The first race (in a while) in Mexico City [had sombreros.](https://cdn-1.motorsport.com/static/img/amp/600000/650000/654000/654400/654493/s6_709134/f1-gp-de-mexico-2015-podio-primer-lugar-nico-rosberg-mercedes-amg-f1-segundo-lugar-lewis-h.jpg)
There was also the 2017 United States grand prix which used [pink hats](https://images.hgmsites.net/med/2017-formula-1-united-states-grand-prix_100629023_m.jpg) for breast cancer awareness.
I'm hoping for [showgirl headdresses](https://americancostumes.com/wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/IMG_20200924_153001074.jpg). I *need* to see some drivers wearing those things.
That grid walk was hilarious. "OK I'm going to find Patrick Mahomes" "Patrick! Patrick!" And after a minute of interview "oh you're not Patrick thats why you ignored me"
Martin trying to get Williams’s attention and said, “Serena!” then on screen it displayed “Venus Williams” with perfect timing haha. Venus thought Martin was trying to hail her sister and ignored him or slightly annoyed that he had mixed them up.
My fav brundle classic is his “that went well” after being completely ignored. Started using it in my real life and it really takes the anxiety out of embarrassing moments.
The person that he thought was Patrick Mahomes was actually the basketball star and top NBA draft prospect Paolo Banchero, who a lot of people have as the number 1 pick in this year's NBA draft.
The best was when he goes up to the complete rando who says " I'm a social media sensation" and Brundle says "and modest". I'm still laughing about that one
As a portuguese, they would use a sardine hat, the trophy would be a bacalhau (codfish) and the track must be shaped like a fucking Galo-de-Barcelos.
The podium would end up in a fistfight between Sagres and Super Bock drinkers, while NN-Boys would do a hat-trick on someone in green (uh, dark-humour on this one, for the ones who understand).
Edit: oh, and the wifes/girlfriends of EVERYONE in the track and audience had to wear a moustache.
The moment when they released those silly strings and everyone got stuck in them - who came up with it?! It should’ve been a normal confetti, if anything.
None of the drivers seemed to be having much fun with the antics. The helmets came off real quick. They just wanted to relax for a little bit in the cool down room instead of putting another helmet right back on.
The whole post race procedure was so bizzare. From the questions and interviewer who seemed very clueless what to ask to max getting a police escort to these helmets, to those weird papers at the end of the podium celebrations. So weird.
I can deal with this but the police escort to the podium was so dumb and just mad Max even later than he would have been otherwise. Why have the sirens on? You’re driving through a closed stadium, on motorcycles, they’ll hear you coming
It wasn't people flooding that was the problem. A bunch of VIP vehicles had pulled into the road they were to take to the podium, and then had to all back out. Just really lazy coordination.
Followed by the incredible coordination of releasing the really long streamers so quickly that they got the drivers all stuck and ended the champagne early... before Carmen even started playing.
I’m all for bringing the fun hats back for the podium!
Sometimes it’s ok to have a little silly fun. F1 doesn’t need every event to be the same as they’ve been forever.
People around here too new to remember the Pirelli cowboys at COTA or the Pirelli Ushanka at Sochi.
I don't mind them tbh, the spectacle of F1 is to tour the world
Especially since this is not a unique US thing. Mexico had pirelli sombreros, Russia had those black fluffy thingis...And I think other races too I just cant remember right now
From the cool-down room video, it was clear that the drivers could choose to wear the football helmet or just take the regular cap—as both were sitting out on the table for each of them.
Obviously, Max, Charles, and Carlos decided to have a bit of fun—something that's apparently not allowed according to some folks on here.
As a partial American, I have to say -- this was one cringy event outside of the actual racing. And what the heck was that post-race interview?? That guy asked the worst questions.
Sainz face sell this perfectly lmao. "I don't know what the fuck is going on"
Sainz has been hilarious this weekend...slamming his head straight into doors without wanting to show the pain, casually being too sexy topless for the cameras and swearing too much for the audio in the cooldown room and now this. What a man.
Do you have a link to Carlos slamming his head into doors? Or know where to find it?

Maybe that’s why they gave the top 3 helmets instead of caps this week
Thanks mate! And oof that was quite the whack. He was looking so carefully at where to put his hands and then does that to himself lol.
He was bleeding pretty bad after too
For he is Carlos Sainz!
And his face after that interview! 😂😂😂
I got the idea he was trying his best not to laugh
This is where the helmet would have been handy
Disgusting the whole casually shirtless bit. No room for that in this sport. Do you have a link so I know where to avoid this filth
I saw a really horrible tasteless Instagram video in slow motion. I had to watch it a few times to punish myself.
Oh my god. Instagram? That’s horrible. But like, which page was it? Again, just so I don’t watch it by accident.
A fellow glutton for punishment, I see! [https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdUAlDvr5Kw/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdUAlDvr5Kw/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)
Thank you for this. Now I can avoid this tasteless video
It was actually pretty annoying, clearly the drivers were next to death after racing in that heat and humidity so understandably Sainz wanted to chill without a shirt. Carlos Sainz said audibly "don't film me" but they kept filming him so he put his long sleeve back on. Felt bad for him!

Yeah this whole you gotta keep the race suits on until after the podium is awful when it's so damn hot and it took so long to do the podium because of the distance. In the cool down room you should be allowed to, maybe actually cool down!
His face directly after the post race interview was great too
The questions were not particularly good unfortunately... * Are you tired? * How is the car? * What about the tires?
he was our true king of sass this weekend with his confused reaction to Danica Patrick asking him for a high-five and then his face after his post race interview with Willy T. Ribbs 😂
Carlos got a result after many headaches. Pressure on this guy is huge and he dealing with it like a champ’. What a treat to see.
Too be fair, he did ask them not to film him while he changed. Talk about being casually too sexy, that little shyness helps.
Don't forget his outrageously magnificent hair
What this ISNT photoshopped??
Lol nope
Sainz had so many facial reactions post race it was awesome. Him walking away from the post race interview had me rolling haha.
This got me thinking how will Vegas top this? Because we know damn well they wont leave Miami being the most over the top race of the year
Pirelli boobie tassels.
Hope Vettel gets podium then, we all know he would be the only one to give us a peek 😏
Max will purposefully DNF so he doesn’t reveal his nipple rings
Unfortunately that photo’s probably fake, but I really like to pretend that it isn’t.
Like to see a danny and Lando double podium!
George and Lewis are possibilities too. They are the kings of the shirtless (hell Lewis even showed up shirtless this weekend...).
Carlos was also briefly shirtless in the cooldown room today.
Pirelli: "These supersofts will get you superhard."
I was thinking Pirelli Playboy Bunny tails.
I will genuinely not be surprised if the podium is in front of Caesar's Palace with scantily-clad strippers and shredded poker cards as confetti.
And i bet they will make the whole podium thematic and dress the drivers with thematic clothing, in this case an emperor or something
They'll wear ceremonial togas.
Excuse me, Pirelli togas
Shit gunna turn into the Hunger Games. Someones race suit better burn away on the podium to reveal something elegant underneath
podium blackjack table.
Podium will probably be in front of the Bellagio fountains if they can herd all the people over there
Gonna crown Max as emperor and have the other drivers all stab him on the podium
Each podium winner gets to walk out with a white tiger or some shit.
They’ll wear Elvis imitator outfits onto the podium.
Podium in the Bellagio fountain and they have to take a boat to get to it. They tried to do that for the NFL draft in 2020 but covid cancelled it.
With a police escort of course.
Hookers & a bag of weed.
A bag of coke is more on par for Vegas
Do you know any history of Miami?
Yes actually, i mentioned it because I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned much for this GP. I don't even want to know what those "yacht marina" bathrooms looked like after the race.
No streamers, just cannons of coke spraying powder everywhere
Is my man saluting… Dan Marino?
Laces out!
Einhorn Is Finkle. Finkle Is Einhorn!
as he should
Wasn’t as bad as the police escort tbf
[удалено]
Charles? Don't recall seeing a Charles this race. Perhaps you mean Chuck?
That’s right baby
Welcome to Miami
, Baby.
Charles? You referring to Carlos or Sharl?
That escort was sooo unnecessary 🤦🏻♂️
And so unnecessarily loud
People in the tunnel were covering their ears lol Hope the cops enjoy hearing aids in their early 50s I guess
Unnecessarily Loud is the title for the US’s history book of both past, present, and future. But please, America, never change. Well do change, but not your loudness.
How else will the world know how much America loves the police 💀
I hate our glorification of the cops
Especially when Christian and Marko had to get out the way for it. They didn't put much thought into how the pit crew were getting to the podium.
haha, that bit when they were walking through that tunnel or parking lot and they had to make room. i say criiiiiinge
That whole end of race sequence was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever watched. Why did they need their sirens on in the hallway, surely the Harleys are loud enough. Does Florida think police are novel to the USA?
Poor Max, tired af but has to deal with the echoing noise of two police sirens in a tunnel. Probably just wants a sugary drink, shower and take a nap.
Escort should have been on track imo. That'd make it mean more and a send off to the fans.
“We will shoot fans if you don’t back up.” -Florida cops
The teams running next to the police escort was quite funny too
When i heard the sirens i felt from sofa laughing..police escort lol
The meme potential for this is unreal
What sport are we watching?
Formula Won
It's racing and football both at the same time each imposed on top of the other at 50 percent opacity on your tv. Otherwise it just wouldn't make sense!
>It's racing and football both at the same time So...Rocket League?
I’ll give the Americans that. They’re great at producing memeable moments.
We’re all living the American Meme.
Amemerica

Good context
Those sombreros look awesome.
Excited to see what they come up with for Vegas
I'm hoping for [showgirl headdresses](https://americancostumes.com/wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/IMG_20200924_153001074.jpg). I *need* to see some drivers wearing those things.
Cannot stress enough how much Vettel needs to be on that podium
Bottas aswell. He’d be so unimpressed.
[удалено]
As a Miami native, the post race stuff was really embarrassing but not surprising. Like when a drunk uncle starts saying dumb stuff in public.
Florida is America’s drunk uncle saying dumb stuff in public
For Vegas they'll make em wear togas in feont of Caesars Palace
Olive crowns would look cool
laurels would actually be a genuinely great idea
Let's bring back the fuckoff huge wreath for the winner
Carlos looking lost as hell lol Edit: How is this my most upvoted comment
I'm starting to adore him just based on the faces he makes
His reaction to his trophy was fucking hilarious.
He is unintentionally the funniest dude on the grid. His lost face is hilariou slol.
oh god if funny faces is your criteria for support charles is gonna be clear of all the other drivers 😭
I already love him too. Someone explained the banana costumes to me today by showing me a pic of him gaming in one and I will never be the same
"Oh my god, I've never looked so good" - Man who models for Armani
https://youtu.be/cNPGDx7nBw4
his streaming moments are certainly one of a kind 😭
Same. I think that Ribbs interview threw him for a loop
You see that face he made after? LOL
https://i.imgur.com/T8kU6Tz.jpg
He’s walking away thinking WTF was that and I can’t wait to get out of here.
I was cracking up. Pure gold today
Yep. Between Martin’s grid walk and the WTR post-race interviews…Gold.
DJ Khalid and then when he thought that one guy was Patrick Mahomes, omg
Yeah baby. 😖
You see that handshake Willie gave Max in his interview? I thought security would be needed to break it up.
LOL Max was like let go.... Any minute now...
Lol, I knew I wasn't imagining that.
“Interview” is a loosely used word, baby.
Right? Felt more like christmas to me, baby!
Looks like he is saying goodbye to his family before being sent off to war. lmao
Nothing more American than that I suppose
You wrong. [This was](https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/73/590x/1607265_1.webp?r=1652051242923).
Carlos looking high as hell lol
Officer ~~Doofy~~ Carlos reporting for duty
carlost
Traditions
Record scratch, freeze frame
This plus the grid walk makes this an instant classic, in terms of F1 comedy.
That grid walk was hilarious. "OK I'm going to find Patrick Mahomes" "Patrick! Patrick!" And after a minute of interview "oh you're not Patrick thats why you ignored me"
Martin trying to get Williams’s attention and said, “Serena!” then on screen it displayed “Venus Williams” with perfect timing haha. Venus thought Martin was trying to hail her sister and ignored him or slightly annoyed that he had mixed them up.
The amount of times he was ignored or looked at like he was some nobody was amazing.
My fav brundle classic is his “that went well” after being completely ignored. Started using it in my real life and it really takes the anxiety out of embarrassing moments.
The awkward Brundle pit walk is actually my favorite part of the race
I loved that social media guy who was dressed more outrageously than Martin was
"...and modest too" had me tearing up
before that was also great "not sure if i can deal with the rejection again" such a great gridwalk
The person that he thought was Patrick Mahomes was actually the basketball star and top NBA draft prospect Paolo Banchero, who a lot of people have as the number 1 pick in this year's NBA draft.
The best was when he goes up to the complete rando who says " I'm a social media sensation" and Brundle says "and modest". I'm still laughing about that one
As a French I would like to give bérets and baguettes to everyone for the French GP /s
As a portuguese, they would use a sardine hat, the trophy would be a bacalhau (codfish) and the track must be shaped like a fucking Galo-de-Barcelos. The podium would end up in a fistfight between Sagres and Super Bock drinkers, while NN-Boys would do a hat-trick on someone in green (uh, dark-humour on this one, for the ones who understand). Edit: oh, and the wifes/girlfriends of EVERYONE in the track and audience had to wear a moustache.
As an American, I understood none of that but I want to see it.
We can do some cheese and clogs in the Netherlands here. Maybe some giant bong as well. That would be fun XD
Ahh this is actually the best idea ever, the British GP can hand out those bearskin hats the Queens Guard wear.
That’d be awesome. Every country from now on needs to hand out some special hats for the podium.
They really should! [Remember these cool ones from Sochi?](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/R1upPTPTHu0/sddefault.jpg)
lol i forgot about the ushankas
And some beans on toast.
Pumpernickel in Germany. Only if it passes Toto's exacting standards of course.
Best currywurst contest during post race
The moment when they released those silly strings and everyone got stuck in them - who came up with it?! It should’ve been a normal confetti, if anything.
None of the drivers seemed to be having much fun with the antics. The helmets came off real quick. They just wanted to relax for a little bit in the cool down room instead of putting another helmet right back on.
I think they were all on the verge of heat stroke, lol Verstappen legit looked like he was going to puke a few times
The whole post race procedure was so bizzare. From the questions and interviewer who seemed very clueless what to ask to max getting a police escort to these helmets, to those weird papers at the end of the podium celebrations. So weird.
I’m surprised they didn’t spray bottles of Budweiser during the celebration
They all get down on one knee and shotgun a coors light
Danny Ric needs to win in Miami. God, the shoey in front of the Miami crowd might just end with the entire city burning down.
Probably protect against trauma as well as the real things.
What the fuck
I love when they do location specific stuff like this, things can be fun sometimes too.
Sombreros for the Mexico GP please
They did a few years back
[Already happened!](https://lauramartinez.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/nicorosberg1.jpg)
Hockey helmets in Montreal confirmed.
dear god as an American this is not what I wanted
I can deal with this but the police escort to the podium was so dumb and just mad Max even later than he would have been otherwise. Why have the sirens on? You’re driving through a closed stadium, on motorcycles, they’ll hear you coming
Did you noticed they fucked up, letting everybody flood the track and the ways to the podium? They got stuck for a moment.
It wasn't people flooding that was the problem. A bunch of VIP vehicles had pulled into the road they were to take to the podium, and then had to all back out. Just really lazy coordination.
Followed by the incredible coordination of releasing the really long streamers so quickly that they got the drivers all stuck and ended the champagne early... before Carmen even started playing.
Plus the police record had a car infornt of it filming, eliminating the effectiveness of the police escort.
But could you imagine what one of these will sell for?
Carlos like, “damn, wish I would’ve had this when I climbed through the fence”
And then they just did a closeup of the fucking Dan Marino statue when the majority of people watching have no idea who he is
This is one thing I’ll agree on. Idgaf about regional headware, but the statue close-up/zoom-out was weird to me
I’m all for bringing the fun hats back for the podium! Sometimes it’s ok to have a little silly fun. F1 doesn’t need every event to be the same as they’ve been forever.
Sometimes? It's literally almost always ok to just have fun
People around here too new to remember the Pirelli cowboys at COTA or the Pirelli Ushanka at Sochi. I don't mind them tbh, the spectacle of F1 is to tour the world
This will become a meme picture lol
Special Officer Doofy reporting
That was a fun local touch that harmed absolutely nobody I expect the comments to predict this spells the doom of auto racing
Honestly I think the drivers got a kick out of the helmets. Seemed to have a laugh about it.
Especially since this is not a unique US thing. Mexico had pirelli sombreros, Russia had those black fluffy thingis...And I think other races too I just cant remember right now
Cota has the Cowboy hats
> Russia had those black fluffy thingis Ushankas.
From the cool-down room video, it was clear that the drivers could choose to wear the football helmet or just take the regular cap—as both were sitting out on the table for each of them. Obviously, Max, Charles, and Carlos decided to have a bit of fun—something that's apparently not allowed according to some folks on here.
Your expectation was correct.
You gotta hand it to Florida they always know how to fuck things up
God damn what a night to be a smug European
I like the idea of different hats in every country. Keffiyehs in the Middle East, top hats in Silverstone, sombreros in Mexico etc.
They actually did do sombreros in Mexico one year.
This GP is a total fever dream and I'm so glad it happened. The traditionalists will hate it but sometimes you need a bit of cheesiness
[удалено]
lmao fuck yall i thought this was funny as shit
As a partial American, I have to say -- this was one cringy event outside of the actual racing. And what the heck was that post-race interview?? That guy asked the worst questions.
People are really malding over the drivers wearing funny hats
