Alonso's car looks broken, going slow

It's hard to tell.

 

[Par Score]

Not watching the rest

Fuck this

GG Hamilton

Tifosi Salt is the most delicious Salt there is.

 

[Ennosuke]

Indeed, which is idiotic. Obsesses about cutting off Verstappen giving Hamilton the chance to shoot ahead. Even if Vettel didn't crash out, Hamilton would have gained a lot by Vettel moving aside.

This is not how F1 works... From P1 you always wamt to defend that Position.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Was Vettel hit?

He tured right on a straight........and got hit by cars still going straight.

 

[Frankfurter]

Indeed, which is idiotic. Obsesses about cutting off Verstappen giving Hamilton the chance to shoot ahead. Even if Vettel didn't crash out, Hamilton would have gained a lot by Vettel moving aside.

What are you talking about? There was no chance at all for Hamilton to pass Vettel in that situation. Hell, he didn't even pass him WITH the crash included.

 

[Dr.Phibes]

Well, seeing the streamable link from sunhi, how can you not blame Vettel? Where are RAI and VER supposed to go with VET coming over like that. Hilarious nontheless. Would have loved a shot of the Ferrari box.

He was clearly in the lead.

 

[Kalor]

I feel like we were robbed of an exciting race after that start.

 

[Grug]

Lol... "you're on your own Fernando, have fun".

I feel like we were robbed of an exciting race after that start.

Robbed of an exciting WDC now. It's just a matter of Hamilton by how much now.

 

[Tempy]

Well, Alonso's not gonna finish this.

 

[Dr.Phibes]

Man, Danny Ric is so slow.

 

[StopMakingSense]

lol

 

[Hasney]

I feel like we were robbed of an exciting race after that start.

Nah, after a lap it would have settled down like this regardless.

 

[Aiii]

He was clearly in the lead.

No he was losing the lead, and he knew it and panicked.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Lol block. Ves was already beside him.

That's what all drivers do when they start in front and somebody is besides them.

 

[Breakage]

Max moved into Kimi when he should have just lifted.

 

[PdotMichael]

No he was losing the lead, and he knew it and panicked.

Stop that bullshit.

 

[Danielsan]

Disappointed by Danny's pace. Bottas is just embarrassing.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Just send Vettel and Kimi packing and sign Ricciardo and somebody else have competent. Fucking shitbags, my god. Such a great position to take a good step towards the championship and they do this.

 

[John_B]

Hulk podium? That would be amazing.

 

[JDB]

How is Ricciardo losing this much time already?

 

[Hasney]

Man, Danny Ric is so slow.

How is Ricciardo losing this much time already?

Hamilton is a monster in the wet. Ric will have to see if the race comes back to him on slicks.

 

[malyce]

My boy just won his 4th championship. Should've been his 5th, but we're not really complaining. Thank you Kimi, you fucking moron.

And it's wet too. Ric will never catch him in these conditions.

 

[Grug]

Nah, after a lap it would have settled down like this regardless.

Hmm, dunno. I reckon Verstappen would have thrown everything at Vettel.

 

[Danielsan]

How is Ricciardo losing this much time already?

Not a great wet driver.

 

[Theorry]

That's what all drivers do when they start in front and somebody is besides them.

When someone is behind them yeah. Not beside one already. Vet was way to late with the block.

 

[Joni]

He did what every single driver does from pole: block your direct opponent. Direct opponent in that case was Verstappen. He might have lost P1 to Max if he would have just stayed on the right side of the track.

Yeah, should have known what happened two rows behind him instead of defending against the second.

What are you talking about? There was no chance at all for Hamilton to pass Vettel in that situation. Hell, he didn't even pass him WITH the crash included.

What does Vettel want? Win the championship or win the race? He goes to the side to block Verstappen but that leaves the lane open for Hamilton who would have been close without the accident as well.

What do you think Hamilton will do in this race? Try to win no matter what or let someone pass him when necessary and come in second?

 

[aspiegamer]

Noooooooooooo one is going to want to be the first to go to slicks (in however long). They've got, what, 4 sets of inters per car? I think we're going to need them.

You don't cover against a car which you can't even see. This is not your first race.

 

[Aiii]

Stop that bullshit.

Do not be this person.

 

[JDB]

It'd be amazing if this was the race where Hulk actually gets his podium.

 

[BigAl1992]

Alonso has no power. Again.

Hamilton started from P5. How on earth would anyone know what's going on behind you in the spray after 200 metres?

 

[killer_clank]

The obligatory “no power” from Alonso, there.

 

[PdotMichael]

Do not be this person.

It's insulting how you act like this was your first race. Leading car defends its position against the second in a completely normal move seen in every race start this season.

 

[Zeknurn]

Smooth overtake by Sainz.

Come on. If this was any other driver than Max you would agree with him.

 

[djplaeskool]

lol
Woke up to Alonso having to retire the car.
C'mon man

 

[Juicy Bob]

Ridiculous that McLaren make Honda look awful again by failing to build a car that can survive being speared into by a wayward Red Bull...

 

[Aiii]

Not when the car is fully next to you.

The only one being insulting is you, we are done.

 

[Par Score]

Bottas got his new contract, he knows his place now.

 

[bubaglobalj]

Wow, TSN is showing commercials without picture in picture, so I see nothing of the race.

 

[Joni]

It is the one car he needs to care about. Verstappen doesn't pose a threat to his actual goal: the championship. Especially because he is supposed to have the faster car than Verstappen. It was terrible, terrible move, and at least he is paying for it.

First and foremost? Win the fucking race! Vettel doesn't play 7 dimensional chess. He tries to stay P1 at the start, that's all, He can't within a couple of seconds think about where Hamilton might or might not be. He has ZERO clue where Ham is at that point and how his move might or might not affect Hamilton. Winning means 25 points vs. 18 on P2. So even if Lewis won two places due to Vets move, it's still a win for Vettel to do that.

 

[JDB]

I don't think it's necessarily any single driver's fault, but let's be real; Ferrari shouldn't have been in a position where something like this could happen.

 

[nekkid]

My boy just won his 4th championship. Should've been his 6th, but we're not really complaining. Thank you Kimi, you fucking moron.

And it's wet too. Ric will never catch him in these conditions.

FTFY

 

[Grug]

Max fans get the red mist at levels that make Vettel look like The Dude.

 

[McNum]

lol

C'mon man

He's excused today. Took a solid hit in the first turn, the bottom of the car was damaged/dragging on the track. Any F1 car with that kind of damage would be retired after seeing how badly it affects it.

 

[Aiii]

Come on. If this was any other driver than Max you would agree with him.

Receipts please. I think it is pretty clear Vettel made a mistake wanting to keep the lead at all cost.

 

[jey_16]

what a clusterfuck for Ferrari.....championship is done
