15 0 ReplyCelebrity flag waver standing there looks like he's being forced to go wave that flag by his mom.
14 0 ReplyTHERE IS NO FUCKING WAY! ABSOLUTE MADMAN
13 0 Reply"no team orders" "hold position" ๐
10 0 ReplyYeah the fight for the 2nd is cool and all but..
DANNY GET ZHOU COMEON COWBOY LETS GET HIMMM YEEEEE HAW
9 0 ReplyAnyone else furiously drinking coffee to watch a race that should've been convenient but for some reason isn't?
8 0 ReplyThis is Charles Leclerc big opportunity to convert a pole into a win. I truly hope he makes it. The guys needs it (and deserves it) after a mostly forgettable year (save for the poles achived).
I also hope this is an entertaining race, and we see a lot of good racing from people in the mid-field or out of position. Cโmon Las Vegas! Surprise us in a good way!
7 0 ReplyPiastri wow!
7 0 ReplyOh shieeet Norris nooo :(
7 0 ReplyLeclerc will burn his tires, and perez will get him for the 2nd.
If the tires fall off too much, he might get got by piastri as well
Edit: piastri seems to be falling off, so it's probable lec could keep the 3rd
6 0 ReplyWelp. I am impressed by this race. Much better than I expected. As good of a first race as you can get.
6 0 Reply4 way fight for the 1st, this race is shaping up to be fantastic.
Edit: OK maybe 3 way fight
6 0 ReplyI have no clue who I'd vote for as DOTD. Great work for Perez, but it's more a return to form from bad form than above and beyond IMO.
Also, poor Charles, he keeps making mistakes like this.
5 0 ReplyChecoโs overall is really confusing :P
5 0 Reply"Give me 5 more seconds, not like I give a shit" -Max
5 0 ReplyThis is so forced and awkward lmfao
5 0 ReplyI knew that corner would have a victim. The braking zone in a bend when it's this cold is difficult as hell
4 0 ReplyShockingly good race. I was very wrong about this venue. So very wrong.
4 0 ReplyPerez had a great start. Sainz lost it (lost grip?)
4 0 ReplyAt this point there could be one of several winners. Interesting!
4 0 ReplyIt's up to you now perez. FINISH THE MISSION
4 0 ReplyBieber looks unimpressed
4 0 Reply"I don't wanna do this shit no more" -Hulk
4 0 Reply5s for Russell
4 0 ReplyI absolutely love the cool down car. That's great!
4 0 ReplyMax feels like he's on the back foot here. This is going to be interesting.
4 0 ReplyExpected this to be the biggest most exciting celebrity packed grid walk. It did not deliver.
4 0 ReplyHoly shit what a pass and what a great race!
3 0 ReplyBro max just wants to podcast with his buddies let him do it ๐ญ๐ญ
3 0 ReplyWhen the tires die, you become a sitting duck
3 0 ReplyGood morning for the European viewers, good night for those in the US.
4 1 ReplyPerez flying
3 0 ReplyAh man, oil remnants on the even side of the starting grid is no good.
3 0 ReplyPiastri is doing a great race. The Alpines are fast!
3 0 ReplyAlbon 5th, Sargeant 6th!
3 0 Reply5s time penalty for Max? Man's gonna have a 30s lead by the end of the race.
3 0 ReplyThis race is massively exceeding expectations. So much action it's kind of crazy.
3 0 ReplyHey all! Quite some drama already.
3 0 ReplyOverheat!?!
Wow
3 0 ReplyThose cars that changed to hards under SC got a massive advantage
3 0 ReplyThis might give Checo a win
3 0 ReplyThe race is way more open than expected. But itโs mostly strategic now
3 0 ReplyWOW! Amazing move by Charles
3 0 ReplyHunt who down? Gamer is 4 seconds off of stroll lmao
3 0 ReplyWhat a weird place to do a podcast.
3 0 ReplyOk. This race is surprising me. The conditions have seriously upset the field and is making it really interesting so far.
2 0 ReplyNot looking good for Charles
2 0 ReplyI have no clue who is gonna win. I love this
2 0 ReplyGeorgepedo
2 0 ReplyOh wow, this is great for those that pitted early
2 0 ReplyCheco needs to do what Carlos did when he was leading. Keep Charles just in DRS and between himself and Max. I think itโs his only chance.
Checo P3.
2 0 ReplyGreat restart from Verstappen
2 0 ReplyChaos in Las Vegas
2 0 ReplyAnd he fucked it up... Poor Charles.
2 0 ReplyDamn!
2 0 ReplyDRS now
2 0 ReplyShame that Ferrari pit crew dropped the ball there with that long pit.
2 0 ReplyWhen I saw an alpha tauri out I nearly got a heart attack. Thankfully it was only tsunoda
3 1 ReplyWhen the camera pans to random people in the boxes.
2 0 ReplyDC chatting with Checo, Max and Charles still discussing the race.
2 0 ReplyDid Verstappen overtake under the safety car when exiting the pits?
2 0 ReplyOmg contact for Max. Holy shit what an eventful race.
2 0 ReplyWhy didn't they force them to swap during the safety car? Seriously
2 0 ReplyCheco is such a joke
5 3 ReplyAnd Verstappen doing fast laps like a madmanโฆ
2 0 ReplyCharles fighting back!
1 0 ReplyHow tf has perez not caught up to ricciardo yet
Edit: there u go my gamer
1 0 ReplyTsunoda with softs? Why? Last half in hards.
1 0 ReplyBro are they taking them for another lap or something ๐๐๐
1 0 ReplyCome on Max!!!!!!!! That was dirty as fuck :/
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm wrong. Not sure what was Osama bin Russel doing
2 1 ReplyWhat happened to Norris?!
1 0 Reply5 laps in and I'm already regretting getting up so early
1 0 ReplyI think the five seconds is a fair penalty in general. It's just that Max' performance is so abnormally dominant that for him it doesn't matter.
Edit: and in lap 14 it seems like it would have been less of a penalty to let Leclerc regain position since if they pit now, he could end up 4th.
1 0 ReplyLeclerc giving it all. Verstappen coming fast
1 0 ReplyThat was a nice move from max
1 0 ReplyWouldn't Verstappen get a significant higher amount of tyre wear with only half a front wing? I hope he wins so he can add to the record, but it seems rather unlikely.
1 0 ReplyMax with massive graining
1 0 ReplySC. Good for cars in old tires
1 0 ReplyMax is being messy now he actually has to fight
2 1 ReplyThe restart is going to be interesting
1 0 ReplyPerez needs to start applying more pressure on Leclerc now. Force him to make mistakes so he ruins his tyres. If anything they need to start acting like a team since they'll probably need to do it more next year.
1 0 ReplyThe Alpines are falling in orderโฆ
1 0 ReplyWhy are the lights on the grid out?
1 0 ReplyAnyways that was expected
In other news, COME ON DANNY GET SEARGANT COME ONNNNN GET HIM FOR THAT 16THHHHHHH
Edit: LETS GET ITTTTTT
1 0 ReplyThe guyโs even joking about itโฆ
1 0 ReplyIt seems the hard tires are starting to work a little
1 0 Reply1 0 ReplyNo DRS for Charles
1 0 ReplyLots of deg. Not even the hards are lasting
