Sigh, Yuki. That prob would've been best finish for AT. Both Top 10. And now he's down in 16.
24 0 ReplyFerrari comms: Stay out. We don't see anything big.
end plate breaks off immediately
22 0 Reply♪ RETURN OF THE MARIACHI THEME! ♪
21 0 ReplyPerez playing the short game.
21 0 ReplyBruh, the Redbull mechanics were looking at perez as if they knew the dude is out lmfao
21 0 ReplyYUKI NOOOOOOOO GOD DAMNIT
15 0 ReplyI'm really surprised at how well the mediums are holding on.
14 0 ReplyCheco is losing me. I don’t know if I can keep doing this. Get your shit together man
13 0 ReplyThat Horner/Checo chat needs a caption competition
10 0 ReplyAbsolute masterclass by Norris holy fucking shit
10 0 ReplyPrediction, Danny Ric on podium after ferrari puts leclerc on used softs
10 0 ReplyThat was some F1 23 level shit there Checo.
10 0 ReplyI am happy for Danny. What a great race. Lets go!
10 0 ReplyCharles post-race interview: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that wasn't my fault with Checo! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Don't hurt me!!"
10 0 ReplyGod, I want Danny to hold on to that 4th, but there is no way in hell that Alpha Tauri can beat a Mercedes... right? I NEED SOME FUCKING COPIUM
9 0 ReplyMax pit under SC? he has to, 21 second lead, cannot waste that
edit: yup
This worked out absolutely perfect for Max, especially as he was the only one with two new sets of hards
9 0 ReplyFerrari: Mediums will be slower than Hards in 5 laps
Narrator: But that wasn't true..
9 0 ReplyOcon lmao what kind of radio message was that
9 0 ReplyOh Yuki, patience! You would've had him sooner or later.
8 0 ReplyI feel like Max pitted early just so he could pass some people
8 0 ReplyGOD FUCKING DAMN AGHHHH
anyways, nice move Lando it was a juice one
8 0 ReplyIts really hard to even get excited about the prospect of a Ferrari front row, because you just know they will somehow contrive to get in each others way, let Max through on lap one, and then make a pigs ear of their strategy and finish 5th and 6th
Well that was as predictable as the sun rising and setting.
I completely failed to predict Checo's stupidity though
8 0 ReplyThat was never going to work.
RIC in red bull next year
7 0 ReplyOsama bin Russell i swear to god if you take out riccardo im going to say something very not nice
8 1 ReplyThe mediums will die in the end, I think mercedes risk didn't pay off
7 0 ReplyHe needed another lap.. damn.
7 0 ReplyIf Danny can climb to 4th, I'm going to actually lose it
7 0 ReplyIf he could have proven he could keep a cool head he might have strengthened his case but this is just dumb. He just needed to cede second, overtaken in the next laps and cruised to second for a crowd that would have adored him.
So damn unnecessary and dumb. Apart from his contract he still needs to keep second place.
7 0 ReplyLeclerc will need armed escort out of Mexico, no matter if it was his fault or not
6 0 ReplyHoly shit what a bad crash for KMag. Glad he's out.
7 1 ReplyFor once I agree with all 3 drivers who are in the lead for driver of the day. That last move by Norris was chef's kiss.
6 0 ReplyDid Sargent just box a lap early?
6 0 ReplySainz puncturing after driving over Charles' end plate under VSC would have been the crowning glory.
thankfully we have avoided that fiasco :D
6 0 ReplyOof. DNF at home race.
Could also have not gone any worse for Ferrari, as expected.
5 0 ReplyWas that a bit of lando's car falling off on that curb?
5 0 ReplyLooks like a suspension failure on mag
5 0 ReplyNo McLaren, leave Danny alone.
5 0 ReplyWith the Mercedes cars on the medium it seems Ricciardo could end up fourth, with Yuki maybe fifth or sixth considering Piastri is also on mediums.
5 0 Reply3 wide is always difficult and not really a specific fault here, but reflects overall poorly on Perez yet again.
4 0 ReplyIs plan A for Charles another: Adventure, choose your own, question, situation?
4 0 ReplyOoof, that's a pretty big one.
4 0 ReplyFucking Hell Checo...
4 0 Replybye Perez
4 0 ReplyAll the cars running mediums mean that we have more pitstops in this race. This may get interesting.
4 0 ReplyRear left puncture? Or did the suspension give in? Maybe the brakes even.
4 0 ReplyIs Stroll trying to get his dad to fire him?
5 1 ReplyMan, George's tyres are shot
3 0 ReplyPerez is trying everything he can to hold on to his seat, I guess. That move was never going to happen, not in a million years
3 0 ReplyWhat was that chained gorilla statue in the crowd?
3 0 Reply226 point lead on his teammate, and 2nd place. Max had been unbelievable this season.
3 0 ReplySo two sprint races essentially. Should be a good restart to shake up the order.
3 0 ReplyCome on Danny!
3 0 ReplyThat's a safety car.
3 0 ReplyWe need more Gunter this season, we've barely heard from him.
3 0 ReplyHOLY FUCK
4 1 ReplyWhat are we expecting for race restart? Max keeping P1?
3 0 ReplyRussell, you pussy, just shut up and drive lmao
4 1 ReplyLeclerc was the easy part Lewis
3 0 Replylook the race is fun again
2 0 ReplyHulk more than 10 seconds down on Russell. The Hass really isn't great on race pace.
2 0 ReplyNorris back down to 15th ☹️
2 0 ReplyPlan A for Ferrari feels like a loooooong time ago.
2 0 ReplyBad decision for Norris and Albon. Was an obvious red flag situation imo.
2 0 ReplyBoring race so far
2 0 ReplyIt's 15 more laps, even if they do manage to get ricciardo, how are they planning to hold it?
EDIT: I stand corrected
2 0 ReplyDanny Ric needs to find that 3/10th on Sainz from somewhere to get himself some DRS
2 0 ReplyThey played the Mariachi version of the F1 theme wooooooohooooo
2 0 ReplyPit him already, Alpha. I swear to god, man
1 0 ReplyNo mariachi theme is the first dissapointment of today. :-(
1 0 ReplyI wonder if the one stop will work out for Ferrari...
1 0 ReplyI was trying to quit the bias of the Sky Sports casters and tried to watch it with F1 TV commentary, but the american/canadian accent really ruins the experience, uff
3 2 ReplyDoes anyone watching Sky know what happened to Martin Brundle? Seems like an unexpected change based on how the presenters are handling it
1 0 ReplyDoes anyone know if Aston are running the new or the old package?
