Fuck off Mercedes. You had to cock it up royally for this weekend...
For fucks sake.
I bet Lewis was undercover fiddling with shit in the pit.
Now that's something.
Mercedes is fast enough to still get a 1-2. Will be an interesting finish here.
They'd better haul Bottas out of his way.
Russell will munch Bottas but I'm not sure Checo will be so easy.
Checo may be a top driver, but fuck me what a shocker of a restart. Nearly caused a monster pile-up.
We never see a good old engine blow up any more.
We saw one blow up last week.
Did an old white man just call him G-Russ?
Sergio G-Russ 1-2 sounds like a perfect finish.
Bottas is on his old hard tyres, right? That's so harsh on him, even if his race before the stop wasn't exactly stellar. Mercedes have properly fucked his race.
Stroll demonstrating at every opportunity today that he is not a proper racing driver. He's been mugged by half the field and is still somehow 4th.
Fuck me is this happening?
Jimmy knew.
Fuck me, what a race.
This race is a meme.
Stroll on the podium.
The man is cursed.
Sainz would have won easily if McLaren hadn't pitted him on the wrong side of the VSC.
Bigger picture: Perez joining Red Bull could ruin Verstappen's career.
He can absolutely show him up. He doesn't complain, cracks on whilst Max just drives angry.
Would have been fun if Russell passed Bottas again.
And half a second quicker.
Mercs need shooting after that.
All a plot to keep "Lewis'" legacy safe.
Dr Marko should have Albons bags packed and outside the front door already.
Made up for Perez, plus the Mexican anthem is a banger.
Max would smash Perez on pace but he'd be a worthy wingman.
So happy for Perez. His second half of the season has been outstanding.
Awkward for Racing Point, they now have to wax lyrical all week about a guy they've just sacked.
Lol if Russell gets a grid drop for Mercedes putting the wrong tires on only to have to serve it in a WIlliams next week.
Is there any chance he stays in the car for next week?
Toto said Lewis was feeling better today, and it's down to the next test he takes. If it's negative, Lewis will be back.
If Hamilton either doesn't get the required number of negative tests in time or isn't well enough then Russell will be in the car.
Can we make a collective effort to either prevent him taking a test going? Or one to give Bottas the virus. Either way is fine by me.
We all know Lewis will be back next week. Like when he says his engine is gone and then puts in the fastest lap.
Why is everyone on here and Twitter obsessed with this Russell pleb
Where is the place online to watch the highlights if you haven't got channel 4?
I can get f1 TV but I can't see a decent highlights show on there.
How can I not pay for someone to show me the highlights?
edit: lol I just paid f1.tv 30 quid and I cant watch anything but F2
Youtube highlights on the F1 channel.
Russell didn't need to win tonight, he showed his quality and made himself a certainty to replace Valtteri at the next available opportunity (could even be mid season next year).
Just watched the highlights from last night. Gutted for Russell, proper fuck up from Mercedes.
Watching Stroll shit the bed and lock up when Perez was attacking him was very lol.
Was it my anti-Stroll blinkers or did he get mugged by 4 or 5 different drivers during that race? He seems to fall apart as soon as he's expected to race anybody, that he finished 3rd is insane, let's see who had to implode to have gotten him there.
Russell and Bottas done by tire shenanigans; Leclerc took himself and Verstappen out on lap one; Albon was nowhere and on another very odd RB strategy; Sainz and Riccardo pitted themselves out of contention after the SC. Even then his teammate was last on lap one and still beat him handily.
