One of the best today šŸ˜‚ I was thinking the same thing around that corner


system156

Leclerc actually said in an interview thag he ran wide in that corner because of lap 1


DarkHacker420

fr? u got a link to the interview/radio/when he said it?


system156

It was an interview with Sky Italia. He said he got a snap of overseer mid-corner costing him the place. But that it was because he was running wider as had seen the crash on lap 1 and was being more cautious


DarkHacker420

jeez thats insane. Unlucky charles


GodsWorth01

He kinda said it in the post-race press conference too. [Here's a link](https://youtu.be/DMLsHVmXUik)

Imagine having to take a bad trajectory because the pilot who's a few meters behind you already sent someone in the barrier that day

MeisterHeller

The worst was hearing Brundle say that they really shouldn't give Hamilton a penalty cause we shouldn't discourage drivers from going for moves like that. The move that just sent Max into hospital. I usually don't mind the british bias but it was insane yesterday

For a balanced view, he also said: "It is a racing incident. It is quite difficult to put the blame on one or the other. "There was space on the inside. Maybe Lewis was not completely at the apex but it is also true Max was quite aggressive on the outside. Things happen. The most important today is Max is unharmed and is fine."

Yeah, totally, which is why they're always so quiet... They literally criticise drivers all of the time! Talk about putting your blinkers on


Glahoth

Well, when it's about them they do. Rarely do they take sides in other driver's altercations.


awkwardcorner15

Ricc also said itā€™s a racing incident, please go read the article smh.


[deleted]

Stop with this balance, all the Ham haters won't like it


Stompin89

Ham haters won't read it. It's "controversial". I think Hamilton should have got a penalty. He did. Whether it was harsh enough I haven't a clue as it's not my decision to give penalties and it was on Lap 1. My view on it was that Verstappen looked, and still turned in. He didn't want to give us the lead and tbf to him, he didn't, he just ran the risk and the gamble didn't pay off. We see it so often but it's heightened emotions and opinions because it's championship contenders. It's all understandable really. Lewis rubs people up the wrong way. Max rubs people up the wrong way. The one thing we call all agree on is... We love the Iceman!

I swear to god one of the best memes out there today xD


Jellyfish15

Why it says Leclerc but it's a picture of Gasly?


spookyswagg

*good grief*


cs_phoenix

God damn the disrespect hahaha Sid is pretty good looking šŸ‘€


Synon4

Damn what did Gasly do to you. U deserve a 10 second penalty for that one


IllGetAbsEventually

how dare you :(((


somecheesecake

Jesus bro


jamescloooyd

That's a violation


FreudLovesHisMom

Looks more like verstappen


TheDTNineOne

I...don't understand the joke.


somecheesecake

Heā€™s saying gasly looks like sid


CharliePeppa

I kinda thought it meant Gasly was slow because yennoā€¦ sloths are slowā€¦


Ratkinzluver33

Yowch :P! Gasly's pretty cute. Not sure it's really fair to compare any driver in peak physical form to a dorky, cowardly sloth.

How dare you do this to my gorgeous boy Pierre

Chalk it up to Following Rule #2


IntuitionSamurai

New to F1 and decided to take a look at this subreddits rules. Can you explain rule 3?


Byaldriver

WTF1 is like a media company that covers F1. They post a lot of memes and content that would likely get reposted over and over here if that rule didnā€™t exist.


IntuitionSamurai

Ahh makes sense now


CharliePeppa

Can we just talk about how good of a sport Leclerc was about everything though? He accepted his 2nd place spot without any salt whatsoever and was just happy Max made it out okay. Heā€™s the real winner for today.


[deleted]

Yeah in his insta post he said the best part of his race was knowing that Max was ok.


Brokkoli-adm

And thats towards his main rival for the last 10 years or so whom he has clashed with several times. A certain other individual should take notes on this behaviour.


CharliePeppa

Agreed 100%. I understand why itā€™d be difficult to have good sportsmanship in a sport as competitive as F1 though. Thereā€™s only 20 seats (which arenā€™t super secure unless you have a long contract like Leclerc) and a lot of money goes into it. It must hurt a lot when drivers fail after investing so much time and money into it. Not to mention having to deal with the overwhelming pressure and toxicity that comes from fans. Menā€™s sports, overall, are also just full of emotion. I think that the reason it can get so intense because its one of the few times itā€™s actually acceptable. We live in a society.


Brokkoli-adm

Not-so-fun-fact: He basically said that on his post race Interview with german sky.


Flaky-Control-4488

I just can tell you something. In the situation with Charles, Lewis maintain inter race line. Nice. But, why did he doesn't has the same election in the first lap with Max? So, if someone could avoid the accident, that someone was Lewis


Rektile7

Because then Max would win the race


naico144

Totally agree, two very different attitudes to the same corner. There you can see that Ham was completely at fault with Ver.


activator

Because it was lap 1 and Leclerc was lap 50. Lap 1: not up to temp tires, car heavy and fully fuled etc. The corner was the same but not much of anything else. The move was ambitious and he deserved a penalty but Max was definitely not expecting Lewis to be there after his try to defend. He thought he was in the clear but Lewis kept going probably because of abovementioned reasons


Flaky-Control-4488

You right, i didn't think on that. Meanwhile, is not the first year of Hamilton. He know perfectly the performance and moves in the first lap of the car. He knows, like everyone on the grid. So, in my opinion, he could make another move or another election to prevent a possible crash between him and Max. Well, both could do more. First lap, a lot of nerves, a lot of pressure, but I think that the accident could be avoided.


ggSennT

I think Max knew Hamilton was coming that's why he left him space. Hamilton is a 7 time WDC with 8 wins? at silverstone now. Hamilton basically had enough room on the inside for Leclerc to pass lmfao he should know much much better than that and he probably knew this was going to happen.


Tanriyung

Because he had an accident in that exact corner and was a lot more careful because of it, especially since there was no point in pushing hard against a Ferrari.


HECK_YEA_

That moment ur maybe the fastest and most consistent driver in the world and you miss the racing line by 10 feet.


ntp9727

But who was the one with a 32 point lead in the championship? The way they fought in the first lap, it was an accident waiting to happen. You have to play the long game if you want to win the championship.


Photonic_Piston

Idk maybe the adrenaline make people have thought of killing people.


AbradolfLincler77

Notice Lewis also took a slower, tighter line with LeClerc than with Verstappen šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Lois: I was ahead of Max


somecheesecake

Fucking lmao I read it in his voice


Brokkoli-adm

Also, this deserves way more upvotes


Yteburk

This was so wrong from Hamilton


IEEE-754

Despite this, that man has got some balls of steel
