Hulk podium today?
Edit: Hulk podium today! In a fucking Sauber!
I'm stabbing a voodoo doll of Hamilton's car rn
Fastest lap!
8 seconds to ham, want both on the podium, very conflicted
Easy, we just have an angry Piastri take out Norris then go Hulk for the win, with Hamilton and Stroll on the podium.
Don't dream small
6 sec now with lap. should be ok
Either Norris or Piastri, or both spinning off would also do it.
go Hulk!
Please don't cock it up Hülk 😭
Man first time seeing Oscar totally pissed. First time seeing Norris winning the British GP and first time seeing Hulk on the podium.
What a race!
This new racing line graphic is cool.
Yeah really liking where that is headed
Come on Hülkenberg ❤️
The Hulk Gets 3rd!!!! Lets go!!!
I was here 🥲
HULK!
Did we just lose places for fun?
Crazy how you never get it right with me
-Fernando Alonso 2025, coming to terms with the fact that his teammate's dad pays billions to give his son the preferred strategy
Rule number 1 for Norris : Don't fuck it up
love it. keep it simple. I'm sure the swearing police will be on him for the word fuck.
Edit:1
That ling graphic is pretty cool
It's a fantastic innovation, I love it.
Good Race. Mercedes nowhere. Leclerc struggling (must be the water). Hamilton, Good in P4. The Hulk P3. Papaya fighting to be continued.
If that isn't a 10 second penalty for Piastri I don't know what is. Even Norris almost crashed into him.
Edit: called it. DC and Palmer are delusional that they think it's fine.
HULKENBERG!!! At last
Swearing police is going to be out
Ferrari Rally Team
Should have gravel tire :)
there are visiting the lovely British countryside
Lando getting two trophies and a medal for some reason.
Leclerc is visiting countryside or scubadiving
Must be the water
😆
Verstaspin
Once again the race is paused with a safety car without giving the chance for the teams to use the wets… why do they even make those tyres anyway?
for snowy day :)
Hulk yeah
That Verstappen spin was wild.
Mad race so far.
Stroll in P3.
There is also Hülkenberg on P4, who has never been on the podium. 👀
Effective P2 with the new penalty for Piastri
Nevermind, McLaren are already too far ahead for 10s to matter
Slicks seemed to have been a bad gamble. The VSCs ruined all chances of gaining track positions before the next spell of rain.
It was a worthwhile gamble to take for those who did I think.
well the F2 earlier try the same and had similar bad luck. It's Britain, it rained
Yeah RIP Max with that low downforce setup, McLaren is even stronger on a drying track with their tyre magic (if it stops raining).
And now that it's a confirmed wet race I'm swapping Ferrari for Mercedes in my fantasy team.
With the amount of downforce these cars generate I bet that slimmed wing is still a net gain around here up until we start nearing the crossover between inters and full wets. And if those are the conditions we won't be racing anyway.
Overtaking on a semi wet track is no small feat. The normal line is quickly going to be a lot faster so as long as he can keep ahead in the first lap, he's looking good to win.
Neither Norris nor Piastri will want to risk slipping off the track and possibly lose 18 points to each other. Either of them risking this past lap 1 would be considered as taking a high risk for a low reward.
and safety car again
Hadjar out. all the juniors can't take the British rain.
Impressive how Antonelli controlled his car during the incident
1 down
Antonelli needs to live up to his reputation from the junior series as a wet weather bandit. He's in a great spot here as first of the slick runners.
Very mature response from Piastri even after Jensen Button asked him again. You could tell he was getting upset then he just stopped talking before he said something really silly. And remembered to congratulate Hülkenburg in the interview and Norris immediately after getting out of the car
I think the Norris-Piastri rivalry might produce some fireworks later on this year.
Oscar did seem quite bitter
Yeah, but i don't think he really noticed how much he used for breaking. he lost like 100mph for the break. Crazy
Yeah more action
Looks like it's raining again. Hopefully it makes for an interesting race.
We all do whenever it rains, but instead we get postponed race start until conditions are barely damp enough for inters, with everyone switching to slicks within a couple of laps and no overtaking being possible due to only a single dry line existing.
Rookie Massacre 2: British Boogaloo
Flashbacks the the rain opener in Australia where only Antonelli finished put of all the rookies.
rain expected in 10 laps
Did anyone see how Hamilton suddenly lost 2 seconds? Was super strange, I didn't see him go off?
Did the same as PIA on the fun bit (maggots, Becket's?)
Ah! There was too much to watch this race, bound to miss something.
My fantasy F1 team is in shambles
Stroll and Hulk podium Lord please 🙏
yeah Stroll, Hulk and Gasly doing well
"Is Alonso washed? Calls for veteran racer to retire as teammate Lance Stroll demolishes him in waterlogged British Grand Prix"
well Hulk is doing well p3 now
Rain is coming
3 out
Chaotic start to the race so far!
Damn Norris!
Alonso is losing time.
Now looks stable, will see if he can make it work.
Unbelievable he's kept it on track though, have you been watching his onboards? Crazy.
I wonder what will happen if a safety car happens now(lap37) and Piastri pits. Will Norris still go for a double stack?
ending is going to be interesting
Time for Norris to shine now with that penalty
Antonelli has been so unlucky man. Diffuser damage now through no fault of his own. Surprised they'll even have him try to finish.
yeah retired
yeah that's bad he will probably retire early I feel
and safety car again ... 3 or 4 safety car in 15 laps....
absolute cinema
the real strategy was to put wet tires
Stroll slicing through the field in the wet is a beautiful sight.
Part of the track is bone dry. I wonder who will put at the end of formation.
Looks like Leclerc and Russell will play with water.
looks like it is 1 lap safety 1 lap to drive...damn 50 laps to go :)
I wish the graphics team would stop putting shit all over the actual racing 😂
Did you watch the F1 Kids broadcast ?
I might have the right mental age but nope, regular broadcast! Just too much stuff on the screen! Lines following the cars, nametags on the cars, I don't mind the graphic interface but when it's actually over the racing it's just distracting to me personally!
Let's go! rain will play out.
Wait, why does Tsunoda get penalised for that? It looked like Bearman drove into him from the onboard replay. Was Tsunoda supposed to brake to let him ahead or something?
Spin for Max!
Mercedes and Ferrari are struggling.
