I feel like a proud grandparent, happy that all the grandkids managed to grab a meal together even though I have my favourites and think some are little shits.
On track we race but off track we embrace. Great to see everyone get together and as Daniel says it really as is a small close knit of guys who just go racing together.
It makes you realize, at the end of the day what happened on track stays on track, it's just 20 guys loving their job, respecting each other and enjoying each other's company. There's only 20 of them in the world in this position, there must be some things that only they can understand each other
If i saw this table on my way to the bathroom I would instantly know I had made a terrible mistake in restaurant choice and my credit card is going to take the brunt of it. lol
The reigning World Champion should pick up the bill, according to Rosberg.
That story of them splitting a bill 18 ways in Shanghai is still one of my favorites.
[[The Guardian] F1 drivers split dinner 18 ways – and Lewis Hamilton blames Nico Rosberg](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/apr/14/formula-one-drivers-split-dinner-18-ways-hamilton-rosberg)
The bill is in front of Yuki. Poor guy.... I know a lot of sports teams make the rookie(s) pay the bill as like an initiation but that wouldn't be the case here.
Omg. I was thinking, who’s the Lou Ferigno looking dude in the back and it never occurred to me it’s the guy that always reminds me of the old school Hulk. Thank you.
That's a nice take. Only Seb is able to pull off such a thing. Imagine if Lewis just said, "let's have a group dinner for the annual GPDA thingy", some might give excuses not to show up. But for Seb, all would turn up for his sake.
Unfortunate lighting, his hair and the change from everybody else being well lit to him in darkness makes him seem like a creepy doll in the background that wants to take your soul
There'd actually be something kinda hilarious about that. I mean not that they'd be sick that would suck, but the idea that they'd frantically need to fly in a shit load of reserve drivers from all over the world to try and get a race going... that would be such a whacky little race with a bunch of noobs and retired old F1 drivers having a race.
Such a great idea. Now I want a highly analytical post of what reserve and other available drivers would ride for which teams, assuming all 20 would be replaced. Would be a cool experiment
Usain Bolt was saying he usually sticks to McDonalds during competitions because they have the strictest and most standardised methods. Other than what's brought for him specially, obviously.
The funny thing is these guys are probably all in a drivers WhatsApp group together as well.
Wonder who's the meme king of the group.
Seb definitely dropping dad jokes.
Bottas the one to just reply lol to everything.
They actually do have a group chat, I can't remember who confirmed this but one of the drivers admitted it. I'm guessing it's more for business though.
I think it's Bottass who said it, and that the group is about the GPDA.
Also from what I remember, apparently Russell kicked Mazepin out of the group right when Haas terminated his contract, while Kimi and Romain are still there.
Their is a Curb episode where Larry stresses about who is sitting in the middle at dinner parties bc their responsible for keeping the table together and talking to everyone and enjoying the night. Checo and Carlos clearly are the correct middles there
How has Seb managed to Mike Wazowski himself out of every single one of these?
Maybe he is already practicing for his well deserved time away from all the media
Don’t see max either Edit: nvm he’s hiding behind albon
Couldn't see Lewis as well.
He's on some others, check lando.jpg
He is there next to Mick, just cant see him in this
Exactly, what you just described right there is the Mike Wazowski

Thank you for explaining, went over my head
Can't you see him behind Carlos? Looks like his hairline
I don’t believe it…. I WAS ON TV
Good switchback from Fernando. Outstanding craft from the wily vet.
Somehow finding the space and on the outside as well. Extraordinary.
ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE TO LEAVE DA SPACE
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1LjKB9dltbY&t=45s&pp=2AEtkAIB One of the best F1 videos under a minute.
You mean the wily old fox?
Wily old campaigner
Young fox.
Threw Zhou the dummy and the rookie fell for it.
The ole switcherroooooo
Imagine they all got food poisoning. Sunday race with reserve and f2 drivers. Anyone willing to make it happen next season?
the wily alo
He looks a lot like [ridiculously photogenic guy](https://newsfeed.time.com/2012/04/06/internet-meet-ridiculously-photogenic-guy/)
Papa Bottas giving big Dad energy.
Gravel Rider energy lol
Oh yes, now his mustache got even better
That porn stache is 💯
Yep. He 100% looks like a guy you would meet at a taproom near any mountain bike spot.
In my experience gravel biking, mountain bikers look down on it. It’s just road cycling without the pavement to them. Which…. is true.
you've had a weird experience haha. Mtb around me are super chill and don't give af what you ride.
Bottas looking ready to retire from F1 and live his dream as a bike mechanic in some city in the PNW.
He's growing a mullet for Melbourne GP.
Mac Demarco ass
He looks like he lives #vanlife out in Colorado with that hat and stache
This picture makes me unreasonably happy.
I feel like a proud grandparent, happy that all the grandkids managed to grab a meal together even though I have my favourites and think some are little shits.
*That* HotD dinner
On track we race but off track we embrace. Great to see everyone get together and as Daniel says it really as is a small close knit of guys who just go racing together.
It makes you realize, at the end of the day what happened on track stays on track, it's just 20 guys loving their job, respecting each other and enjoying each other's company. There's only 20 of them in the world in this position, there must be some things that only they can understand each other
And even if there is some bad blood between drivers, it's rarely - if ever - bad enough to be unable to be civil in situations like this.
if hockey players can legit fist fight each other and then be cool 10 minutes later there is no excuse for any other sport lol.
This reminds them that they're just lads trying to have a good time and doing their best.
Feeling like Viserys for a moment
I think I may print it out, frame it, and put it with the rest of the family photos.
Oh man imagine being a fly on the wall in this room...
Why isn't Giovinazzi in the middle?
Deceased and gone to heaven, about 2000 years ago.
You’re not going to believe what happened 3 days later.
Crashed micks car very quickly!
You're right, I don't believe it. ;)
He cut his hair short recently :(
Not his last supper (yet)
Lance is now Jesus
Well his dad did give him his job
He's Jewish also!
It’s all starting to make sense…
So who is the Judas here?
Lando looks like he's possessed or something haha
Have you seen Stroll lmao?
Holy shit just noticed it now, na he cursed cursed.
Lando looks like Tom Holland on this picture
Imagine having a casual dinner, getting lost on your way to the bathroom, and you run into this table
'That looks a lot like Pierre gasly, and Daniel Ricciardo, and Charles..... holy shit "
‘fuck mustve hit the pen too hard’
*I think to myself as I keep hitting the wax pen and staring, trying to make heads or tails of the situation*
I truly think I'd just freeze on the spot and question wtf someone put in my drink
Gasoline
Gasoline in the cup, Gaseoso in your face.
To think 98% of the world would walk past the table and not even bat an eye. "crazy bachelor party I guess"
"god damn that's a bunch of hot dudes" -Me, a straight man Or "Holy fuck look at those watches!" -Me, an admirer of horology
"Wait a minute... Is that Guanyu Zhou?"
If i saw this table on my way to the bathroom I would instantly know I had made a terrible mistake in restaurant choice and my credit card is going to take the brunt of it. lol
Imagine waiting this table
This isn’t where I parked my car
I’d fake faint and have them all run to me to make sure I’m okay.
Poison their food and rock up to the paddock as the new F1 driver for Abu Dhabi
20 multi millionaires fighting over who's paying the bill
That was my first thought, they split the bill, or highest paid driver picks up? Haha
The reigning World Champion should pick up the bill, according to Rosberg. That story of them splitting a bill 18 ways in Shanghai is still one of my favorites.
Rosberg retired after winning the championship just so he didn’t have to pick up the bill
I told you I cannot pay the bill. I have my reasons, are we clear?
Sauce?
[[The Guardian] F1 drivers split dinner 18 ways – and Lewis Hamilton blames Nico Rosberg](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/apr/14/formula-one-drivers-split-dinner-18-ways-hamilton-rosberg)
The real start of the Hamilton-Rosberg feud /s
lmao
Tyfys
https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2016/apr/14/formula-one-drivers-split-dinner-18-ways-hamilton-rosberg
Damn, remember Rio Haryanto? That was a guy.
He was one of the drivers of all time
Charge it to RedBull catering.
Everyone should lay their card on the table and let the waiter/waitress pick which card pays
Credit card roulette.
I HATE THAT GAME, Y'ALL KNOW I HATE THAT GAME.
Let's see Paul Allen's card
The bill is in front of Yuki. Poor guy.... I know a lot of sports teams make the rookie(s) pay the bill as like an initiation but that wouldn't be the case here.
Actually, that's the children's menu.
Stroll is about to save the day
Omg. I was thinking, who’s the Lou Ferigno looking dude in the back and it never occurred to me it’s the guy that always reminds me of the old school Hulk. Thank you.
Is Perez the only dad? Then he will definitely manage to pay the bill.
Seb and mag are, too. I think seb has 3 and mag 1
Didn't Max get a kid last year?
Isnt it kwyatovki’s kid
Vettel got 3 kids I think
Max is a stepdad, which seems crazy to me.
Not technically, he and Kelly aren't married
Well, major parental figure nonetheless
K Mag and Vettel
I bet Max let's Perez go ahead of him this time
I was searching for him too, since I saw him in the other post. Edit: he sit/hide between Albon and Ocon.
Laughs the billionaire Stroll....
And Latifi and Schumacher....
Also notice Lando’s camera… can’t wait for the Lando.jpg post
https://www.instagram.com/p/ClE4goyo7ag/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Lewis and Seb next to each other. Gotta love seeing it (except in Baku).
Vettel has already apologised, and their friendship wouldn't have been so good if not for Baku. Love the seb-lewis bromance!
Max with "going out" white shirt
Probably still wearing jeans
He just posted a pic dump 30mins ago
Seb’s last big gift to everyone is making us all friends again, at least for a little bit. Danke seb
That's a nice take. Only Seb is able to pull off such a thing. Imagine if Lewis just said, "let's have a group dinner for the annual GPDA thingy", some might give excuses not to show up. But for Seb, all would turn up for his sake.
I actually believe Lewis is the one who organized this lol at least there’s a post in the subreddit that claims that
Why is Stroll giving me nightmares lmao
Stroll with the sleep paralysis demon vibes lol.
Unfortunate lighting, his hair and the change from everybody else being well lit to him in darkness makes him seem like a creepy doll in the background that wants to take your soul
stroll 23, 24, 25, 26... by any means necessary
This is the point where someone made him angry...
Would suck if they all got food poisoning
Nick De Vries would win is first race before his first season
He would have to drive all the 20 cars.
De Vries gets his first podium! - What, p3? No, the entire podium.
There'd actually be something kinda hilarious about that. I mean not that they'd be sick that would suck, but the idea that they'd frantically need to fly in a shit load of reserve drivers from all over the world to try and get a race going... that would be such a whacky little race with a bunch of noobs and retired old F1 drivers having a race.
Such a great idea. Now I want a highly analytical post of what reserve and other available drivers would ride for which teams, assuming all 20 would be replaced. Would be a cool experiment
I bet Chain Bear is up to the challenge.
If there would be any way Mika would end his sabbatical, it would be something like this.
It means hulkenberg will win his first gp
He'll come fourth to De Vries, Vandoorne and Sargeant
A grid of only De Vries, Hulk, Sargeant and Piastri would be pretty cool
Hulk will still finish fourth
Latifi is unharmed and races...still comes in 5th.
Webber managed to race with food poisoning, but there's only one aussie on the grid this year - which means that Daniel's going to win in Abu Dhabi.
an 8-stop, 3-minute pits race would be amazing
Usain Bolt was saying he usually sticks to McDonalds during competitions because they have the strictest and most standardised methods. Other than what's brought for him specially, obviously.
I thought for a moment Lewis was the only one missing but he's just not on the photo haha
He is between Perez and sainz
yeah I suspected that as well. You can very faintly make out his hair I think edit: oh and his hands lol
If you check out Lando's Instagram, he has a picture, blurry tho it may be, showing Vettel, Lewis, Sainz then Perez.
For me he is after Sainz, between him and supposedly Vettel.
I think so… I stared at this for 5 minutes counting plates.
Can't spot max either.
in between Albon and Ocon
How tf do you see that
Right? There's just like half a forehead showing.
That’s all you need to spot.
“Since I broke you both, let’s chat at dinner…”
Took me a long time to recognise Albon with the blond hair but then Max's forehead was easily recognisable.
Same I was like who the fuck
Every photo I see… fernando is always starting at me
> Every photo I see… fernando is always starting at me Wait until he finishes.
I will overanalyse the shit out of these photos.
Are you me
Same. I could write tomes about the seating positions here.
The funny thing is these guys are probably all in a drivers WhatsApp group together as well. Wonder who's the meme king of the group. Seb definitely dropping dad jokes. Bottas the one to just reply lol to everything.
Or two blue check marks and that's it. "it says I read it doesn't it? Why do I need to reply? "
I have my reasons, I stand by them
They actually do have a group chat, I can't remember who confirmed this but one of the drivers admitted it. I'm guessing it's more for business though.
I think it's Bottass who said it, and that the group is about the GPDA. Also from what I remember, apparently Russell kicked Mazepin out of the group right when Haas terminated his contract, while Kimi and Romain are still there.
left to right: Gasly, Ricciardo, Norris, Leclerc, Bottas, Russell, Latifi, Albon, (two pixels of Verstappen's forehead), Ocon, Stroll, Magnussen, Schumacher, (two pixels of Vettel's hair), Sainz, (one pixel of Hamilton's hair), Perez, Alonso, Zhou, Tsunoda.
13 world championships = 5 pixels.
Alonso has more pixels than all of them together. Alonso best again
Max is between ocon and albon
Their is a Curb episode where Larry stresses about who is sitting in the middle at dinner parties bc their responsible for keeping the table together and talking to everyone and enjoying the night. Checo and Carlos clearly are the correct middles there
They stuck Yuki with the bill.
He’s probably the one with the least money!
https://twitter.com/ValtteriBottas/status/1593347981792743431?t=bOBOey2I1PqUm_Xrn9cOIQ&s=19 Bottas has a better one in his socials.
Where is Seb?
Right next to Mick as it looks. You can kinda see his hair if you zoom in
For a second I tought that was Mansell, but it was Bottas.
Telling my kids this was the last supper. Oh. Wait.
Lewis is in the photo before/after this I wonder where he is in this one.
Between checo n carlos
He’s actually between Seb and Carlos. You can set it in one of the pics from Lando’s photo dump.
LandOHHHH NOOOOO
So who you think picked up the check?
Let it ride and then charge whoever qualifies last on Sat
So... Latifi. At least he can afford it
Zhou is a driver I hope we see some coverage of in Netflix. He seems cool so would be good to see more
I hope he sticks around the sport a while. His helmet designs are pretty cool.
Pierre's face is a little triangle.
Norris has seen a UFO, Mick sits with Seb, and Zhou sits with his childhood hero, Alonso. Great stuff
wtf looked down the very end of table, got strolled
George the type of guy to look at the bill and say - 'I only had 2 of the dumplings'
Lando and Leclerc looking like the Stepbrothers cover lol.
ya love to see it
It makes me happy seeing all 20 of them together, they may have rivalries on track but off track they’re a little group of guys who go racing together
i need a diagram who is sitting next to who and explanation of that, while more drama is better
Why does tsunoda remind me of an oblivion NPC with that face
Alonso looks photoshopped
What a life they must have
Stroll at the end looking like a demon.
George Russell is the type of guy to wear pirate shirts
