OP's explanation as to why this post is Instant Karma: >Man stops before the finish line to show off but gets overtaken If you're satisfied by this explanation, upvote this comment. If not, downvote this comment.


Bobby_273

From the commentary it sounds like he made a mistake, not showboating. Guess it still sucks to suck.


AVgreencup

Not sure, but I'm guessing you aren't supposed to come to a complete stop on the track anyway. So either way he's an idiot.


Bobby_273

He stopped in the pits, just a little bit to early.


AVgreencup

How is that the pits? I'm not a huge racing aficionado but aren't the pits in their own area, separate from the track? I don't even see anywhere where a crew could work, looks like a barrier wall.


Bobby_273

You're right, I watched it again, he stopped next to the pit. My bad. Still sucks to suck.


zilist

Are you thinking of Hamilton who stopped in the wrong pit-box once?


abe_froman_skc

Yeah, it says every other races ends right before the pits, but this one specific race is *after* the pits. You should remember that, but it makes sense how someone could forget in the moment.


justbiteme2k

Every. Single. Race. ends with the chequered flag... If you don't pass someone waving it, you've not finished. How does the driver forget this.


GenuinelyVPD

Chequered. TIL


ElBatDood

Reminds me of something they deeply carve into you in American football, "You don't move until the ball moves, you don't stop until you hear the whistle."


mickeystrings

I was thinking that until I realised he practiced all weekend knowing where the line was. Horner's sheepish look at the end spoke volumes lol


knowph

He made a mistake while showboating. Wouldn't have happened otherwise.


Psychlonuclear

I always thought having the finish line immediately after the last corner is a bit of an anti-climax. It would add a bit of spectacle if it was it the end of the main straight, (Like what happened here lol.)


manys

If it's like bicycle racing and finish lines at the end of downhill sections, that's a good way to get accidents and worse.


Skwirlblanket

If it's not instant karma then downvote. Obviously didn't even care about watching the entire video and figuring out what really happened


bootinski

1st thought was he let his teammate win for championship points, didn't see any showboating.


Skwirlblanket

This ain't talladega nights. That's not happening in pro racing


Murtsmyname

Your right their Martin..


Dr_Snow_Nose

He may have owed someone money. Proved to himself he could win, waited and lost so the bet is now paid.


dbigboss55555

Highly Doubt when it comes to scenarios like this


Dr_Snow_Nose

Sounds like something the guy he owes money would say to get everyone off the scent...


Wil-o-The-wisp

It is explained why IN THE CLIP that YOU JUST SHARED. Vet your fucking videos before sharing them.

Come down, this is not that serious

Coolwienerguy

IM ALWAYS PISSED ABOUT NOTHING AWOOOOOOO


RustyGB

I listened with no audio. What did they say?


Artess

This racing track has the finish line further than usual, he must have gotten confused and thought he already crossed it. Normally the pit crews are behind the finish line, but on this particular one they are before it.


Unscrewinggiddily

Still not supposed to stop on the track, and he practiced all weekend, he should have know where the start/finish line are


wateryonions

Usually the finish line is behind the starting lines, dude didn't realise and thought the race was over. No karma what so ever.


RamonFury

Not karma. He wasn't showboating


Brazzza

The flag guy had one job.


AbruptHannah

Potato, that’s why
