Me and the boys taking an uber after a night drinking
15ReplyCelebrity flag waver standing there looks like he's being forced to go wave that flag by his mom.
14ReplyTHERE IS NO FUCKING WAY! ABSOLUTE MADMAN
13Reply"no team orders" "hold position" ๐
10ReplyYeah the fight for the 2nd is cool and all but..
DANNY GET ZHOU COMEON COWBOY LETS GET HIMMM YEEEEE HAW
9ReplyAnyone else furiously drinking coffee to watch a race that should've been convenient but for some reason isn't?
8ReplyThis is Charles Leclerc big opportunity to convert a pole into a win. I truly hope he makes it. The guys needs it (and deserves it) after a mostly forgettable year (save for the poles achived).
I also hope this is an entertaining race, and we see a lot of good racing from people in the mid-field or out of position. Cโmon Las Vegas! Surprise us in a good way!
7ReplyOh shieeet Norris nooo :(
7ReplyPiastri wow!
7ReplyLeclerc will burn his tires, and perez will get him for the 2nd.
If the tires fall off too much, he might get got by piastri as well
Edit: piastri seems to be falling off, so it's probable lec could keep the 3rd
6ReplyWelp. I am impressed by this race. Much better than I expected. As good of a first race as you can get.
6Reply4 way fight for the 1st, this race is shaping up to be fantastic.
Edit: OK maybe 3 way fight
6ReplyThis is so forced and awkward lmfao
5Reply"Give me 5 more seconds, not like I give a shit" -Max
5ReplyI have no clue who I'd vote for as DOTD. Great work for Perez, but it's more a return to form from bad form than above and beyond IMO.
Also, poor Charles, he keeps making mistakes like this.
5ReplyChecoโs overall is really confusing :P
5ReplyAt this point there could be one of several winners. Interesting!
4ReplyIt's up to you now perez. FINISH THE MISSION
4ReplyI knew that corner would have a victim. The braking zone in a bend when it's this cold is difficult as hell
4ReplyBieber looks unimpressed
4Reply"I don't wanna do this shit no more" -Hulk
4ReplyShockingly good race. I was very wrong about this venue. So very wrong.
4ReplyPerez had a great start. Sainz lost it (lost grip?)
4ReplyExpected this to be the biggest most exciting celebrity packed grid walk. It did not deliver.
4Reply5s for Russell
4ReplyMax feels like he's on the back foot here. This is going to be interesting.
4ReplyI absolutely love the cool down car. That's great!
4ReplyAlbon 5th, Sargeant 6th!
3ReplyBro max just wants to podcast with his buddies let him do it ๐ญ๐ญ
3ReplyWhat a weird place to do a podcast.
3ReplyGood morning for the European viewers, good night for those in the US.
3ReplyWOW! Amazing move by Charles
3ReplyHunt who down? Gamer is 4 seconds off of stroll lmao
3ReplyAh man, oil remnants on the even side of the starting grid is no good.
3ReplyHey all! Quite some drama already.
3Reply5s time penalty for Max? Man's gonna have a 30s lead by the end of the race.
3ReplyThe race is way more open than expected. But itโs mostly strategic now
3ReplyOverheat!?!
Wow
3ReplyPiastri is doing a great race. The Alpines are fast!
3ReplyThose cars that changed to hards under SC got a massive advantage
3ReplyThis might give Checo a win
3ReplyPerez flying
3ReplyThis race is massively exceeding expectations. So much action it's kind of crazy.
3ReplyWhen the tires die, you become a sitting duck
3ReplyHoly shit what a pass and what a great race!
3ReplyDamn!
2ReplyCheco is such a joke
2ReplyAnd Verstappen doing fast laps like a madmanโฆ
2ReplyNot looking good for Charles
2ReplyChaos in Las Vegas
2ReplyOh wow, this is great for those that pitted early
2ReplyOmg contact for Max. Holy shit what an eventful race.
2ReplyDid Verstappen overtake under the safety car when exiting the pits?
2ReplyWhen I saw an alpha tauri out I nearly got a heart attack. Thankfully it was only tsunoda
2ReplyDRS now
2ReplyCheco needs to do what Carlos did when he was leading. Keep Charles just in DRS and between himself and Max. I think itโs his only chance.
Checo P3.
2ReplyOk. This race is surprising me. The conditions have seriously upset the field and is making it really interesting so far.
2ReplyShame that Ferrari pit crew dropped the ball there with that long pit.
2ReplyGreat restart from Verstappen
2ReplyAnd he fucked it up... Poor Charles.
2ReplyDC chatting with Checo, Max and Charles still discussing the race.
2ReplyWhy didn't they force them to swap during the safety car? Seriously
2ReplyGeorgepedo
2ReplyWhen the camera pans to random people in the boxes.
2ReplyI have no clue who is gonna win. I love this
2ReplyThat was a nice move from max
1ReplyI think the five seconds is a fair penalty in general. It's just that Max' performance is so abnormally dominant that for him it doesn't matter.
Edit: and in lap 14 it seems like it would have been less of a penalty to let Leclerc regain position since if they pit now, he could end up 4th.
1ReplyTsunoda with softs? Why? Last half in hards.
1Reply 1ReplyThe guyโs even joking about itโฆ
1ReplyHow tf has perez not caught up to ricciardo yet
Edit: there u go my gamer
1ReplyIt seems the hard tires are starting to work a little
1ReplyMax with massive graining
1ReplyLots of deg. Not even the hards are lasting
1ReplyCome on Max!!!!!!!! That was dirty as fuck :/
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm wrong. Not sure what was Osama bin Russel doing
1ReplyMax is being messy now he actually has to fight
1ReplyBro are they taking them for another lap or something ๐๐๐
1ReplySC. Good for cars in old tires
1ReplyWhy are the lights on the grid out?
1ReplyPerez needs to start applying more pressure on Leclerc now. Force him to make mistakes so he ruins his tyres. If anything they need to start acting like a team since they'll probably need to do it more next year.
1ReplyLeclerc giving it all. Verstappen coming fast
1ReplyWouldn't Verstappen get a significant higher amount of tyre wear with only half a front wing? I hope he wins so he can add to the record, but it seems rather unlikely.
1ReplyNo DRS for Charles
1ReplyCharles fighting back!
1ReplyThe restart is going to be interesting
1ReplyAnyways that was expected
In other news, COME ON DANNY GET SEARGANT COME ONNNNN GET HIM FOR THAT 16THHHHHHH
Edit: LETS GET ITTTTTT
1ReplyThe Alpines are falling in orderโฆ
1Reply5 laps in and I'm already regretting getting up so early
1ReplyWhat happened to Norris?!
1ReplyStop polluting earth doodooheads
