Love it.

(Bottas can't park)

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Bwoah

 

[Loris146]

Great win. Amazing job by both Seb and Kimi.

A meme within a meme.

 

[RoKKeR]

Lmao

 

[kharma45]

"I think they all understand English" hahaha

 

[Chuck]

Wow, Vet won with that messed up a wheel? Impressive.

 

[Zaru]

That was beautiful. Massive respect to Hamilton for letting Bottas pass.

Yeah this really gave Hamilton some points in my book, especially since he wasn't really supposed to give it back going by Wolff's initial reaction.

Athletes: assholes when they're winning, loveable when they're not.

FTFY

 

[Rolfgang]

DC: "Hey Kimi, let me give you a nice chance to interact with your fans."

Kimi: "Nah."

Classic Kimi

 

[Ninman]

Boring race but tense if you are a Ferrari fan. I think Kimi and Bottas just got a contract extension for next year.

 

[Loris146]

Poor Riciardo though. Max lmao... So fucking stupid.

 

[f0rk]

I wonder if half those Ferrari flags will change to Mercedes when Kimi retires to support Bottas, or if they just won't bother.

 

[sems4arsenal]

F1 drivers: assholes when they're winning, loveable when they're not.

I feel it is car related. Everyone loves an underdog.

 

[Grug]

Poor Riciardo though. Max lmao... So fucking stupid.

Luckily it's the mid-season break. Otherwise Red Bull would be filming another one of those "Danny and Max play soccer/ice-hockey/race caravans" type videos. Would be hella awkward.

 

[tomtom94]

Pleased to see Hamilton give the place back. I personally thought Bottas was too far back and it was too risky so was expecting Mercedes to call it off, but very sportsmanlike.

Props to Vettel, wouldn't have gone so well at any track other than Hungaroring of course.

 

[PdotMichael]

Maybe Verstappen gets now called out for some of his bullshit by the team. Would be a good thing in the long run.

 

[Ark]

You don't know that.

Before this race, he had a chance of taking the lead in the title race if circumstances fell his way.

If we were talking about Raikkonen, 80 points behind, sure. But a guy who's won two races and was only a little behind Hamilton has a right to expect his team to give him a fair go especially when he has, contractually speaking, equal status with his team mate.

Bottas isn't Rosberg. He doesn't have the ferocity of Rosberg.

If I'm wrong and Bottas wins, I'll eat a New York Vanilla Cheesecake in his honour.

 

[Theorry]

What bullshit? Jesus people are making this a huge thing. It was gonna happen at some point as happens with teammates with the same car. You are always close to eachother and racing.

 

[theignoramus]

Raikkonen got fucked over. Ferrari deliberately sabotaged his chance of overcutting Vettel.
Shame about Ricciardo but I'm glad this collision will bring about a much needed discussion on Max Verstappens driving behavior.

 

[M52B28]

Bottas isn't Rosberg. He doesn't have the ferocity of Rosberg.

Or... the DNFs that Hamilton had last year..

 

[Loris146]

What bullshit? Jesus people are making this a huge thing. It was gonna happen at some point as happens with teammates with the same car. You are always close to eachother and racing.

Max is too aggressive. He almost hit Kimi in the first corner lmao.

 

[PdotMichael]

What bullshit? Jesus people are making this a huge thing. It was gonna happen at some point as happens with teammates with the same car. You are always close to eachother and racing.

It wasn't even close, Ricciardo was healthy ahead of him and he just plain lost the control of the car. I don't think Ricciardo would be that pissed if that was a "can happen" accident.

What did he do wrong then this year? Last time he hit is teammate was at australia 2016 at TR lol.

 

[Zeknurn]

At least Brawn has got a lot of good data from this race on how much he should remove aero and instead improve the ground effect.

We've been very lucky that this hasn't been the norm this season.

 

[Ark]

Or... the DNFs that Hamilton had last year..

Yes, Rosberg was fortunate that Hamilton had so many issues in one season at the same time that Rosberg was on the absolute top of his game, but he absolutely deserved that Championship.

 

[theignoramus]

I lost some respect for Hamilton. I would have said fuck it and collect as many points for my championship battle.

Why be crucified in the media and ruin a good relationship with Bottas over 3 points?

 

[Grug]

Max can do no wrong with some people.

His fans are zealots.

Not sure what kind of race you expected.
Hungaroring is basically Monaco without houses.

Getting rid of aero won’t help shit

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Max apologized on Dutch tv. So he will do the same in person.

 

[theignoramus]

What did he do wrong then this year? Last time he hit is teammate was at australia 2016 at TR lol.

I believe him to be a reckless driver. Gifted yes, but also reckless.

 

[Versipellis]

 

[Theorry]

Max is too aggressive. He almost hit Kimi in the first corner lmao.

Lol Kimi back off abit to early and took him by surprise. And nothing happened.

It wasn't even close, Ricciardo was healthy ahead of him and he just plain lost the control of the car. I don't think Ricciardo would be that pissed if that was a "can happen" accident.

What wasnt even close? Thats not the point. Verstappen made the mistake. But shit just happens. It not a Rosberg/Ham in Austria thing or something.

 

[Grug]

Why be crucified in the media and ruin a good relationship with Bottas over 3 points?

Yeah, he's getting a disproportionate amount of praise for what amounts to just honouring an agreement.

 

[Rahvar]

Lmao. Hulkenberg went up to Magnussen and told him "congratulationa on once again being the most unsportsmanlike driver of the day" and Magnussen just replied "suck my balls"

 

[Theorry]

Max can do no wrong with some people.

Can say the same thing for the haters lol.

 

[FrankCanada97]

Haha, what a guy.

 

[Grug]

Can say the same thing for the haters lol.

I'm certainly not a hater. I think F1 is more exciting with him there. Some of his fans are genuinely odd though.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

[Randdalf]

When's the Formula E start?

Cmon dude. Really? Haha.

Not saying you are. But there are both sides who over exaggerate.

 

[Business]

VER made a very poor move today and maybe I'm wrong but I can't remember him doing many such clumsy moves in his career.

 

[Rolfgang]

Max can do no right with some people.

His haters are zealots.

I guess we can say he's a 'love him or hate him'-kinda guy.

 

[Grug]

Max can do no right with some people.

Well based on the interview I just watched, Max knows that Max was wrong. That's what matters.

 

[Rolfgang]

Not saying you are. But there are both sides who over exaggerate.

For example: look at the crucifixion on the page when the crash happened. Dude got gutted like he killed half the paddock.

Curious to see the comments if it was the other way around.

 

[PdotMichael]

Lol Kimi back off abit to early and took him by surprise. And nothing happened.

I didn't claim that he wanted to kick Ricciardo out of the track. But this was a more than just an aggresive attempt of getting ahead of Ricciardo.

 

[Theorry]

So what was it then?

 

[Rolfgang]

How would you describe it?

It was clumsy, but just an honest mistake. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[JDB]

He made a dumb mistake, but some people here are pretending like he torpedo'd into Ricciardo like Kyvat's been doing. It's like they're waiting for him to do something they can complain about.
