Can the hype increase even more? Yes, yes it can. Wow.

 

[nature boy]

Thank you Mercedes for an interesting race.

 

[nan0]

Neat. Well deserved.

 

[Nokterian]

Fuck me incredible i am so proud of max so proud to see this from our little country the netherlands!

 

[hamchan]

Danny got a puncture, nursed his car to the box...

...and kept his position.

Danny Ric is the number 4 boy.

 

[Zeknurn]

You were saying? Maybe it's time to face reality like some of us, no matter how hard it is. Like I said, not a fan of the kid, but I can't lie to myself and ignore pure talent/speed. Amazing win by Verstappen. Well deserved!

Oh please, Verstappen only won because the Mercs took each other out, Ferrari massively fucked up their setup and Red Bull cost Ricciardo the win by putting him on the wrong strategy.

It's a perfect storm of luck.

 

[Joni]

A new record holder for youngest victor.

 

[3Sixty]

Cheers Hamilton

 

[NHale]

To win like this and in Sainz homeland. Ahahah

 

[Merino]

I'm shaking in excitement. Can't believe the Wilhelmus is going to sound at an F1 track.

 

[brotkasten]

Best race of the season, no doubt. I still can't believe it's over.

 

[DrM]

Mercedes would get easy 1-2 today, probably lap the 3/4 of the grid

 

[Pterion]

Oh please, Verstappen only won because the Mercs took each other out, Ferrari massively fucked up their setup and Red Bull cost Ricciardo the win by putting him on the wrong strategy.

It's a perfect storm of luck.

He's a better driver than Ricciardo. Suck it up.

 

[Xando]

This was great. Please ban mercedes bernie

 

[Aiii]

Tears guys, tears. A Dutch F1 race winner. Amazing.

 

[John_B]

Verstappen lucked out with the b-grade strategy, but stunning performance from him.

 

[thenexus6]

Cheers Hamilton

Drinks on you tonight

 

[djplaeskool]

Red Bull has to be elated with today's result.

Brrrrrravo

 

[NHale]

So... what's the Dutch national anthem, anyway?

Do you think if you play the German anthem everyone will notice the difference - Spanish organization

Goodbye Ricciardo. Helmut Marko just found his new Vettel. You are now the Webber for the next 5 years.

 

[hamchan]

He's a better driver than Ricciardo. Suck it up.

Whoa now. Should be gracious in victory. No need for this.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

the era of the durch jesus has begun

TIME TO COME AND SAVE FERRARI

 

[Upinsmoke]

Great race though. Shows Mercedes are ruining racing.

 

[ramparter]

Dont get carried away though, even Maldonaldo has won at Barcelona

 

[DrM]

Jos the Boss is emotional

 

[jey_16]

Ferrari threw the race yesterday by qualifying so poorly

 

[Humidex]

Dutch national anthem post race...that's a new one!

 

[Deadman]

With the new rules on super licenses this record will probably never be broken

 

[Zeknurn]

He's a better driver than Ricciardo. Suck it up.

Right. The Verstappen fanclub is quickly going to surpass the Hamilton fanclub. I can't wait for the conspiracy theories when Verstappen doesn't win every race.

 

[brotkasten]

Ferrari copying Red Bull.

But are they covering the right driver?

Reminds me of a different race.

Well. Well!

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Is this the first time a dutch wins a F1 race?

 

[nny]

I wonder if someone is panicked searching online for a good version of the Netherlands anthem to play in the podium ;P

 

[Blastoise]

Dont get carried away though, even Maldonaldo has won at Barcelona

snap

 

[darkinstinct]

So we have Mercedes a second something faster than Ferrari and Red Bull, which are a second faster than everybody else (race pace).

 

[Graphics Horse]

Is this the first time a dutch wins a F1 race?

yep

 

[Humidex]

Is this the first time a dutch wins a F1 race?

Yes.

 

[Aiii]

Is this the first time a dutch wins a F1 race?

Yep, two P3's for Jos is the best Dutch result evere so far.

 

[Ark]

Nice race by Verstappen. Kept himself in the right place at the right time; gets my vote for driver of the day for sure.

I actually can't believe that Kimi couldn't get passed Max though. He really should have had that.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Well. Well!

Can you please work for Ferrari next year?

 

[Xando]

Dat german strategy talk

 

[nature boy]

So they did 31 laps on the medium compound.

Heh.

 

[Nokterian]

Is this the first time a dutch wins a F1 race?

Jos Verstappen won many times back in the 90's mostly 3rd or 2nd place but never first been a long time since we saw such a good racer in F1 from the netherlands.

 

[DrM]

So we have Mercedes a second something faster than Ferrari and Red Bull, which are a second faster than everybody else (race pace).

Yep

 

[jizzlobber]

Thanks Mercedes for giving us a race.

Wish ric was on a 2 stopper as well, he was 11+ seconds ahead of Max at one stage.

The kid did well to get it home and hold of kimi though... Well done!

 

[spuckthew]

Is the drinking age in Spain 18?

 

[Xun]

I had a feeling Max was going to win today before the race started.

Well done to him.

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Really interesting result, but sadly the race itself was another stark reminder of how broken the aero regulations currently are. It's just not that interesting watching cars following each other ad nauseam, relying on a mistake from the driver in front for a change in position.

 

[dakun]

Nice race by Verstappen. Kept himself in the right place at the right time; gets my vote for driver of the day for sure.

I actually can't believe that Kimi couldn't get passed Max though. He really should have had that.

Nah they almost had the same tires. Even Ricciardo with tires 10 laps younger couldn't do anything.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Fantastic result for Verstappen. Now he did more for Red Bull than Kvyat did.

I hope that he keeps cool and keep up the good work.

 

[jey_16]

hard to overtake when the pace of the cars are so close, probably should have put Vettel on a two stop strategy really
