[Aiii]

Wait, what happened?

Vettel thinks all the other drivers are there to service him.

 

[Deadman]

Vettel is right. Kvyats "lol I'm on the podium I don't care" is dumb.

 

[Line_HTX]

Holy fuck, he is livid. Meanwhile, Nico is just standing there drinking his water.

 

[darkinstinct]

And now they are drinking with each other. Crazy guys.

 

[Psychotext]

Commentating has been goddamn awful on Sky today.

 

[Frankfurter]

This is why it is always better to watch a replay first before taking it out on somebody else. Not cool, Vettel.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he'll change his mind once he's seen it.

 

[brotkasten]

Oh, fuck that guy.

 

[SilentRob]

Bwahaha,Kvyat emptying his entire bottle on Vettel on the podium. How amazing is that

Also: Kai Ebel? Come On D:

 

[Psychotext]

Ugh, Kai.

 

[Aiii]

Fucking Kai Ebel fuck off.

 

[Danielsan]

Why always bring in these awfull interviewers.

 

[Blastoise]

Not the german clown again.

Goodbye lads. Great race.

 

[Line_HTX]

NBCSN approves of Kvyat not giving a fuck and saying it would've happened if Vettel did what Kvyat did.

 

[SilentRob]

Commentating has been goddamn awful on Sky today.

Sky UK? How so? Watched the entire race, thought it was as stellar as always.

 

[chicko1983]

Kvyat was in the right.

Someone needs to spice a gif of Kvyat overtaking vettel and then him spraying the champagne in vettel's face.

 

[darkinstinct]

Vettel thinks all the other drivers are there to service him.

He's a lot like Senna that way. It worked for Senna, it worked for Schumacher and it seems to work for Vettel. It doesn't have to work for every single driver (there's always the Schumachers, Montoyas, Verstappens) but it works for a lot and it makes things much easier. Never underestimate the respect other drivers have for multiple times WC's.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Let's see how Hamilton will handle things now. So far he is the number 2 of team.

 

[Psychotext]

Sky UK? How so? Watched the entire race, thought it was as stellar as always.

Mistakes everywhere. Appalling.

Not just me that noticed it here.

 

[ramparter]

Well yeah Seb you reacted because you were surprised but in the end he wasn't that close.

 

[Shaneus]

Kvyat handled that well. Vettel mad out of his mind.

I'd love to see exactly what he said again, sounds like he was completely wrong. I'd need to watch the replay again, but no need for Vettel to act like an entitled tool.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

OK he has toned down a bit. A much better explanation.

 

[Line_HTX]

Vettel hesitant on spraying Kvyat's face back.

:lol

 

[Psychotext]

lol, Vettel didn't seem to realise he'd screwed his wing again.

 

[DrM]

Mistakes everywhere. Appalling.

Not just me that noticed it here.

They were awful today. Well, whole weekend, from 'OMG Ferrari is the #1 car' wankery from Friday, I do not know what they blabbered yesterday (I was at work). to grand finale today.

 

[Line_HTX]

Holy fuck, that was the WORST butchering of Mandarin I have ever heard. I couldn't tell what he was trying to say.

LMAO

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Well, they seem to have made up on the podium. All's wel.

 

[Zeknurn]

Yup. Sky F1 was awful as per usual.


I see nothing weird about that exchange between Vettel and Kvyat. Vettel went all german on him, that's how they are.

 

[FuturusX]

In the end Kimi wasn't bad. Also shows that when you are racing from the bag, just going full attack isn't the best. Hamilton makes that mistake a lot. No point destroying your tire just to get one place. I know earlier I blamed the strategy of Lewis but I kinda think he has a lot of responsibility for the outcome. He had the pace, he showed that. But he kept needing new tires more than anyone.

NBCSN confirmed with Mercedes that Lewis had a problem with damage to the floor of his car that caused downforce issues, he destroyed his tires just trying to keep up out there.

 

[Mobius 1]

Nico's "let them fight" face hahaha

 

[ElTorro]

Holy fuck, that was the WORST butchering of Mandarin I have ever heard. I couldn't tell what he was trying to say.

LMAO

I don't speak Mandarin, but somehow I knew that Kai Ebel was butchering it...

 

[PdotMichael]

With his fashion style he is also butchering my eyes.

 

[Line_HTX]

Xie xie.

Gan bei!

*Chugs champagne

 

[Aiii]

Holy fuck, that was the WORST butchering of Mandarin I have ever heard. I couldn't tell what he was trying to say.

LMAO

To be fair, most German's I know can't even speak proper English, it is probably better they just stick with one foreign language and keep it at that.

 

[Zaru]

I don't speak Mandarin, but somehow I knew that Kai Ebel was butchering it...

Why, oh god, of all things, did they put Kai there?

 

[PdotMichael]

Why, oh god, of all things, did they put Kai there?

The sad thing is that's still less random than Schwarzenegger in Australia.

 

[Line_HTX]

No way in hell did Vettel not know that his wing was damaged again.

 

[DrM]

Why, oh god, of all things, did they put Kai there?

Probably no one else wanted to do it lol

 

[Line_HTX]

To be fair, most German's I know can't even speak proper English, it is probably better they just stick with one foreign language and keep it at that.

At least I could barely make out the phrase for audience at the end, hahaha

 

[Zeknurn]

So that's three good races in a row all because of a competitive midfield and Mercedes fucking up every race.

 

[Zaru]

The sad thing is that's still less random than Schwarzenegger in Australia.

At least we could go with the Austria/Australia joke when that happened.

 

[DrM]

NBCSN confirmed with Mercedes that Lewis had a problem with damage to the floor of his car that caused downforce issues, he destroyed his tires just trying to keep up out there.

He was quite unlucky that his FW got stuck beneath his car. He also went over gravel with wing beneath his car, probably floor was scratched or even some of the stuff ended stuck down there...

So that's three good races in a row all because of a competitive midfield and Mercedes fucking up one car every race.

Fixed that a bit

Hamilton looked like he should've started from pit.

"It was an average day."

 

[GrizzleBoy]

It has been in 2016 at least.

Car failures and being a pinata on wheels seems to be his story of the year.

 

[DrM]

Looking from Seb's onboard, he had a really bad start, then drifted on the outside of the corner behind Kimi (who locked up after fantastic start). Of course there was a lot of room on the left and Kvyat, who was right behind Seb on the start, but kept the inner line. Vettel should ease off, but he panicked when RBR appeared on his right and slammed into Kimi instead

Voted Kvyat, not because of his race (he was good though) but because of his yolo stance with Vettel.

 

[Zeknurn]

Stoffel would have put the McLaren in the points. #bringstoffback

 

[stryke]

Ric becoming the alonso of 4th position.

 

[Line_HTX]

I just realized no one during the broadcast mentioned anything about Alonso. Feels like he had a quiet day after being cleared by the medics.

 

[DrM]

I am wondering how would race evolve without early safety car

And I still think that Mercedes is having quite some advantage, but they are hiding it well
