F1 Official Thread - Grand Prix of Britain

This entire weekend looking sus lol

Admittedly, very fortuitous with the reds, but I'll take all the luck I can get cuz things can change so fast.
But the reds have been late all season... Valtteri in Shanghai and when Checo and Carlos crashed in Baku both came very late.

Anyway... that quali was mad. I'm just glad my cars came out ok... and now just gotta make the most of it.

This was amazing... goosebumps.

Sunday morning bottle service

 

[zeroregret]

A lot of drama today. Hope they restart soon

 

[Sinner]

That dreaded phase 2 of the start.

Welp. Should have known all that luck during Q was gonna go to **** for the race.
And now Max is gonna win with Lando surely getting a pen.
Just errors by everyone... Lando, team... and Osc really struggling.
But Max has been so quick tho....

Priority remains to stay in front of Ferrari then.

Lando said hold his bottle lol disastrous day for him

 

[pmtotheam]

That's a wrap on the WDC, what a race so far

 

[amitt5504]

Alpine double podium puts them 6th in constructors now. Sheesh

Also didn’t expect Max to drop the “simply lovely” lol

 

[zeroregret]

What a result for Alpine. That's major points.

Enough disaster to go around, really. Lando's errors aside, the team made their errors, while Oscar had a nightmare as well.
The car just didn't have the pace. I thnk still a net gain over Ferrari for the weekend, so I'll take that.

But the chaos tho! Can't remember a race like this.

What a champion's drive by Max. That was amazing. Credit where credit is due.
And Renault! WOW. What a result.

Yea I forgot Oscar almost binned it too. Speaking of which, the curse of Logan Sargeant is still on Williams

 

[zeroregret]

Bearman was looking like the new Mazespin. He was off the track almost every other lap. I think he was little over zealous and kept trying to push too hard in poor conditions.

 

[Sinner]

Nah, I think that's a bit harsh on Ollie. The conditions were very tough for everyone. I think most of the field had gone off at some point in the race, except for Max and probably the Alpines. I think this was his and Colapinto's first properly wet race as well. Probably over zealous, but it was a steep learning curve.

Watching the Alpine celebrations... I don't think I've ever seen Pierre and Este that happy together.

Yikes.

Did they ever announce what the penalties for Lando and the others who decided to leave the grid on the abandoned start were? MB changing tire pressure on the grid?

Yeah they were $5,000 fines in both cases.

Side note, this is insane

Lando and George were reprimanded and fined 5k each, while Yuki and Liam were cleared.

Lewis and George were fined 5K each for their tyre pressure investigation.

Carlos was reprimanded for when he tried to drive away after he crashed, despite marshals around him trying to lift his car away.

Gutted for my boy Zhou, but the reality is, he just wasn't cutting it.
Made the most of his opportunity.

I feel the same way. At least he got to realize one of his dreams which was racing in front of his home crowd.
