Man, Max played that perfectly. So, now he gets to change his tires for free and just has to overtake Ocon.

He pretty much locks up the WDC with a win today. Would just need to not DNF the last few races. 

[ChickenSandwich 9824]

Best race of the season!!

[TonyTexas 10504]

So much going on. Norris start violation, Both Mercedes with a tire adjustment violation. Hulkenberg black flag. 

[Fudbelty 2787]

I’d be shitting my jumpsuit if I lost control like that and knew there was absolutely nothing I could do.

[aggie08 21481]

Nice year, Lando.

[Fudbelty 2787]

Norris is proper fucked.

[Paper_jam 831]

Dammit Youtube TV fucked up my recording of this. They didn't keep up with the time changes.

 

 

[T-shirt Sip 2097]

I’m exhausted and I’m just watching from my recliner. 

[TonyTexas 10504]

That’s an all-timer from Max. Start 17th, win by 19 seconds. 

[morehornsepower 887]

That was insane.

Max goes from 17 to 1.  Perez starts 12 and gets 0 points.

[Mittens 8251]

Just finished watching.  

Not sure who shit the bed harder today, Norris or ESPN.  Shitshow for both.

Max sucking all the fun out of the season, again.  Congrats on the WDC tho.

Fucking Alpine and Ocon out of nowhere - a reminder that Ocon & Gasly have never had a podium without a fucked up race.  At least they're there to capitalize when it all goes sideways.

Can’t wait for the 2026 regulations where they add track sprinklers that are randomly assigned a lap and duration each race.

Trolololol

 

Also, come on man. He couldn't be more un-likable if he tried 

 

Truly, a jaw dropping statistic

Starting 17th and winning by 19 seconds with 17 fastest laps was definitely luck.

[dieucla98 2942]

This version of Max is the best Max - clean racing, dominant, no mistakes. Head down and get the job done.  If he'd cut out the bullshit driving tactics he employs when he's under pressure, he'd be a lot more likeable. 

Lando continues to come across as a smug Brit prick.

Sorta. The red flag gave Max a free pit stop to change tires. No amount of planning or driving ability sets that up.

[kevwun 15757]

That cancels out the bad luck during qualifying.

[aggie08 21481]

I understand what Lando was trying to say, but maybe just grin and bear it when you drove off the track twice today, had poor starts twice today, started a lap after an aborted start without seeing a green light, and the team made a poor decision (Hulkenberg got his car moving before Norris and Russell pitted, so going back to green was imminent).

Pretty much every driver comes off as a smug prick. Kind of the nature of the business.

Except maybe Bottas.

So what happened with Mercedes and adjusting tire pressure while the wheels were on the cars, which is not allowed?

 

Nothing?

Essentially nothing. Each hit with a €5,000 fine. Same with Norris for the aborted start. 

[Burt Macklin 19019]

I’m starting to think Carlos doesn’t actually want Ferrari to win the WCC. 
 

-Crazhed with Perez in Baku

-crashed in Singapore quali with a top 2 car (which also messed up Leclerc’s quali)

-crashed out in Brazil quali and the race. 
 

Ferrari would be ahead in the WCC right now if he could just stop crashing.

I spent 25+ years interviewing drivers after victories and losses.

Just say, we made a call and it didn’t work out for us today. Conditions came into play and our decision didn’t work and I didn’t have my best day.

Fuck Ferrari. They picked the wrong horse. Good luck next year with charl and hammy both whining in the comms.

Lando, I like you dude, but don’t be such a little bitch. You fucked up all day. All day son.

This was best max as someone else pointed out. He was in his zone and there was no drama about who reached the apex first before he ran them out. He just came to race today. And he’s all out of bubble gum.

Im guessing Lando felt the same for Max in Q1?  

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

I mean, I get that these guys have massive egos and all.  They are all, except for Stroll, Maldonado & that Russian kid 🤣, fantastic drivers. Every driver is the recipient of lucky breaks, or bad breaks. It’s what happens in sports, no need to be a jagoff about it.

Bears reminding that the same stewards docked Charles €10,000 for dropping an accidental “fuck” in his presser after Mexico last week.

Wait, there are non Sainz family members who think Ferrari should have cut Leclerc and kept Sainz?

I would have simply kept my mouth shut. Lando is arguably in the fastest car and had a shot at the title. He can’t be fucking around and folding under pressure. The guy is a great driver but there seems to be something mentally keeping him from taking the next step.

And Lawson finished in the points ahead of Checo.

This was probably the first time ever that I wanted Max to win just to punk Lando.

Multi 2-1 Seb.  Multi 2-1.

I just clicked on that question from Max asking where the English press was. Well done.

Hulk will be his teammate.  Ocon is going to Haas. But I guess the point remains since Bearman will be his teammate.

Can't wait to hear for the Nth time how it's the team mate that has the issue, not Ocon racing him extremely hard on track and being, reportedly, extremely difficult being the scenes to his teammate.
