Sigh, Yuki. That prob would've been best finish for AT. Both Top 10. And now he's down in 16.
24ReplyFerrari comms: Stay out. We don't see anything big.
end plate breaks off immediately
22Reply♪ RETURN OF THE MARIACHI THEME! ♪
21ReplyBruh, the Redbull mechanics were looking at perez as if they knew the dude is out lmfao
21ReplyPerez playing the short game.
20ReplyDid we just witness the return of question, question?
19ReplyYUKI NOOOOOOOO GOD DAMNIT
15ReplyI'm really surprised at how well the mediums are holding on.
14ReplyCheco is losing me. I don’t know if I can keep doing this. Get your shit together man
11ReplyPrediction, Danny Ric on podium after ferrari puts leclerc on used softs
10ReplyI am happy for Danny. What a great race. Lets go!
10ReplyAbsolute masterclass by Norris holy fucking shit
10ReplyThat was some F1 23 level shit there Checo.
10ReplyCharles post-race interview: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that wasn't my fault with Checo! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Don't hurt me!!"
10ReplyMax pit under SC? he has to, 21 second lead, cannot waste that
edit: yup
This worked out absolutely perfect for Max, especially as he was the only one with two new sets of hards
9ReplyOcon lmao what kind of radio message was that
9ReplyThat Horner/Checo chat needs a caption competition
9ReplyFerrari: Mediums will be slower than Hards in 5 laps
Narrator: But that wasn't true..
9ReplyGod, I want Danny to hold on to that 4th, but there is no way in hell that Alpha Tauri can beat a Mercedes... right? I NEED SOME FUCKING COPIUM
8ReplyGOD FUCKING DAMN AGHHHH
anyways, nice move Lando it was a juice one
8ReplyHe needed another lap.. damn.
7ReplyI feel like Max pitted early just so he could pass some people
7ReplyIf he could have proven he could keep a cool head he might have strengthened his case but this is just dumb. He just needed to cede second, overtaken in the next laps and cruised to second for a crowd that would have adored him.
So damn unnecessary and dumb. Apart from his contract he still needs to keep second place.
7ReplyThe mediums will die in the end, I think mercedes risk didn't pay off
7ReplyIf Danny can climb to 4th, I'm going to actually lose it
7ReplyIts really hard to even get excited about the prospect of a Ferrari front row, because you just know they will somehow contrive to get in each others way, let Max through on lap one, and then make a pigs ear of their strategy and finish 5th and 6th
Well that was as predictable as the sun rising and setting.
I completely failed to predict Checo's stupidity though
7ReplyThat was never going to work.
RIC in red bull next year
7ReplyOh Yuki, patience! You would've had him sooner or later.
7ReplyHoly shit what a bad crash for KMag. Glad he's out.
6ReplyDid Sargent just box a lap early?
6ReplyOsama bin Russell i swear to god if you take out riccardo im going to say something very not nice
6ReplyFor once I agree with all 3 drivers who are in the lead for driver of the day. That last move by Norris was chef's kiss.
6ReplySainz puncturing after driving over Charles' end plate under VSC would have been the crowning glory.
thankfully we have avoided that fiasco :D
6ReplyOof. DNF at home race.
Could also have not gone any worse for Ferrari, as expected.
5ReplyLeclerc will need armed escort out of Mexico, no matter if it was his fault or not
5ReplyWith the Mercedes cars on the medium it seems Ricciardo could end up fourth, with Yuki maybe fifth or sixth considering Piastri is also on mediums.
5ReplyNo McLaren, leave Danny alone.
5ReplyWas that a bit of lando's car falling off on that curb?
5ReplyIs plan A for Charles another: Adventure, choose your own, question, situation?
4ReplyLeclerc was the easy part Lewis
4ReplyOoof, that's a pretty big one.
4ReplyFucking Hell Checo...
4ReplyLooks like a suspension failure on mag
4Replybye Perez
4Reply3 wide is always difficult and not really a specific fault here, but reflects overall poorly on Perez yet again.
4ReplyAll the cars running mediums mean that we have more pitstops in this race. This may get interesting.
4ReplyRear left puncture? Or did the suspension give in? Maybe the brakes even.
3ReplySo two sprint races essentially. Should be a good restart to shake up the order.
3ReplyWhat are we expecting for race restart? Max keeping P1?
3ReplyThat's a safety car.
3ReplyMan, George's tyres are shot
3ReplyRussell, you pussy, just shut up and drive lmao
3ReplyBoring race so far
3ReplyWe need more Gunter this season, we've barely heard from him.
3ReplyPerez is trying everything he can to hold on to his seat, I guess. That move was never going to happen, not in a million years
3Reply226 point lead on his teammate, and 2nd place. Max had been unbelievable this season.
3ReplyIs Stroll trying to get his dad to fire him?
3ReplyCome on Danny!
3ReplyHOLY FUCK
3ReplyDanny Ric needs to find that 3/10th on Sainz from somewhere to get himself some DRS
2ReplyBad decision for Norris and Albon. Was an obvious red flag situation imo.
2Replylook the race is fun again
2ReplyWhat was that chained gorilla statue in the crowd?
2ReplyHulk more than 10 seconds down on Russell. The Hass really isn't great on race pace.
2ReplyPlan A for Ferrari feels like a loooooong time ago.
2ReplyIt's 15 more laps, even if they do manage to get ricciardo, how are they planning to hold it?
EDIT: I stand corrected
2ReplyThey played the Mariachi version of the F1 theme wooooooohooooo
2ReplyNorris back down to 15th ☹️
2ReplyDoes anyone watching Sky know what happened to Martin Brundle? Seems like an unexpected change based on how the presenters are handling it
1ReplyPit him already, Alpha. I swear to god, man
1ReplyI wonder if the one stop will work out for Ferrari...
1ReplyI was trying to quit the bias of the Sky Sports casters and tried to watch it with F1 TV commentary, but the american/canadian accent really ruins the experience, uff
1ReplyNo mariachi theme is the first dissapointment of today. :-(
1ReplyDoes anyone know if Aston are running the new or the old package?
