Dat vettel tho.


Verstappen didn't let Sainz through. Continuing the great red bull tradition of ignoring team orders.

 

[hadareud]

A lap from the end I'd tell them to get fucked too.

What the fuck are they thinking with a team order at that stage. Fuck off.

 

[Kyougar]

grand chelem! (scratch that....Ricci goes fasted lap)

Hope Arrivabene goes on his barefoot pilgrimage (he sad he would if Ferrari wins 3 races this year)....

RTL said its the 4th win when he will walk barefoot

 

[Blastoise]

Max already acting like a WDC. Great to see.

 

[ElTorro]

Great race from Minardi Honda.

 

[Aiii]

Looking from Max's point of view, if it wasn't for Perez, Sainz would have been in no position to be near him to take that spot back.

But from Sainz POV, if he gave him a pass earlier in the race, it's going to be unfair.

Either way, those Jos genes at work here

 

[dakun]

Wonder if Max is going to be penalized by the team internally.

I wonder if he got to his position because of Teamorders before and didn't give the position back or if they just wanted him to let his teammate pass for no good reason.

Depending on that he should get a warning internally

 

[aspiegamer]

I'd love to know the logic for STR. They get the same number of points for the team either way, which, when there's no matter of the championship to worry about, is all that matters.

 

[nature boy]

Hope it's all gloves off at Toro Rosso if team orders are going to be ignored.

Would likely be purely token.

God, you know the stream is behind when Sunhi can output a gif quicker than you see the actual footage.

Who cares about internal warnings when you're Max Verstappen. What are they going to do, fire him? Cut his salary?

 

[Tempy]

Maybe it's a sponsorship thing.

Sponsor: "If Sainz has x points then we'll increase our funding."

 

[Lach]

From my understanding, they felt that Sainz haden't used up his tires as much and could have made a move on Perez...

they wanted to give sainz a try at passing perez, because his tires were a bit better. but they are total idiots and gave the message way too late. completely pointless nonsense from toro rosso.

He has that Marko backing anyways, so you're probably right.

 

[TCRS]

yes great shot

 

[NewDust]

Max did hold back on the last lap though... Going from .6 seconds to over 1.5 second behind Perez. But Sainz also went from .8 to 1.5 on Verstappen...

 

[massivekettle]

Sainz let VES through earlier in the GP apparently. VES acting like a little cunt already.

 

[hamchan]

Seems like Sainz let Verstappen through earlier in the race. Only fair to give it back, see: what Ricciardo and Kvyat did at Monaco.

 

[Shaneus]

Well done by Ricciardo, pretty solid considering what a POS that Renault is. Their aero must still be something else.

 

[dakun]

Schumacher at the point of equaling senna's 41 wins had 5 more championships to win. 3 of them dominating the season.

Nobody of the current champs will reach him on win count imo

 

[Par Score]

Sainz will have swapped with Verstappen at some other point, with the agreement that if Max isn't up the road by the end they swap back.

It's a fairly common team orders scenario, just like it's fairly common for 17 year olds to act like petulant children.

With 1 lap to go? I... guess? Had they spat this out with 5+ laps to go I'd understand, but it was pretty clear by the end that no one was going to pass Perez. I'd also question the tyres being in better condition. Max blew ahead after passing Grosjean and Carlos took longer to catch up again. Is there any reason why that would have changed later?

We've seen much older drivers ignore such teamorder.

Or a guy like Barrichello doing it at the literal LAST second.

It's less of an age thing and more of a competitor thing.

 

[dakun]

No but just not let Max pass the next time he could benefit from team orders. I don't know.

It's more of a cunt thing, really. VES had 5 laps to reel Perez in and failed. There was nothing left in these tyres.

 

[Lach]

Fuck you Jason Statham. Let Seb have his flag!

 

[nature boy]

So Spanish TV reporting Toro Rosso were asking Verstappen to let Sainz pass for over 15 laps.

 

[hamchan]

Exactly. Next time Sainz is more likely to go "lol fuck Verstappen" when he gets team orders.

 

[TCRS]

rest of paddock triggered by german/italian hymn combination

Fireworks, it's gonna be awesome.

Nothing says F1 like a in-team rivalry.

 

[Kyougar]

Kimi: "Yeah, well I could take a trophy, alright."

 

[NewDust]

So Spanish TV reporting Toro Rosso were asking Verstappen to let Sainz pass for over 15 laps.

Then it made no sense at all, with Max being in the faster tyres.

 

[Zeknurn]

Oh dear Eddie. What curtain did you run into before getting onto the podium.

 

[massivekettle]

Then it made no sense at all, with Max being in the faster tyres.

In the last stint, Sainz was on the same tyres and they were fresher as well.

 

[Shaneus]

Wow, what a little shit.

 

[Aiii]

Given the comments about independence, maybe the color has some significance there?

 

[NewDust]

Really? Could've sworn Sainz was on soft an max on ss... My mistake then.

 

[CaseyTappy]

For Sainz to get even with Verstappen he has to be in front of him first though .

 

[shaki123]

Max ended on SS.

 

[Tempy]

Not too shabby I think.

 

[theignoramus]

A tier performance from Seb this weekend.

 

[PdotMichael]

Kimi: "Yeah, well I could take a trophy, alright."

He appeared helpless like the 61 laps before.

But impressive show of the Ferrari crew. A way funnier bunch than Mercedes.

 

[nature boy]

For Sainz to get even with Verstappen he has to be in front of him first though .

Sainz is ahead in the head-to-head in both qualifying and race all season long.

Wonderboy has been overhyped.

(He's a talent no question, but he has been too hyped).

 

[hamchan]

Ricciardo is the most likable guy.

 

[shaki123]

At the end of the season points count. max has more points. Which means he has performed better this season.

[Aiii]

Way more points.

And both drivers had to retire from point getting positions, so it's not that either. The stats just don't back you up there nature boy.

Max has had 4 retirements, Sainz has had 5, yet is still ahead in head-to-head.

Yes it true that Max has had higher finishes, namely the 4th in the eventful Hungarian GP, but he isn't smashing his team-mate.
