Lando Norris entering the pit lane just before starting lap 11, it seems he’s changing to mediums before the hazardous conditions come in.
Ok Jesus you're overreacting 💀
Weather Report:
Now ☁️

Verstappen gaining on Sergio Perez into the new turn 16!
The two Red Bull cars have built a 8 second gap to Sainz who seems to be having a lot of wheel spin
Salesforce: 40 laps remaining to vote for your driver of the day
Perez with DRS is gaining on Verstappen, Perez pulls to the outside.... and there's contact!
Verstappen goes into Perez!
Perez is out of the race and Verstappen has side pod and wing damage!
||I hereby announce my retirement in commentating for #1064367428987002940 at the end of this race...||
||Nooo!!! ||
The red bulls has a lot of damage i mean a lot
look at the state of verstappen's car!! its done for
and sergio perez is missing lots of bits in his rear
as max goes into the pits to change his wing well he dosent have one but he pits and goes onto softs and its a slow stop as we see the mechanics inspecting the car to check if its safe
with only 10 mins to go for rain as predicited
this is a disaster for perez
as we see a battle between SAINZ AND PEREZ PEREZ GOES OF THE TRACK AND SAINZ GETS THROUGH INTO THE LEAD OF THE RACE!!!!
As we see a fast pace williams of logan sargeant with the fastest lap overtaking tsunoda for P6
As we all know aston martin and williams are fighting for the constructors championship only 13 points seperates the 2 teams here and we all know that albon and alonso are fighting for the championship ....... Is alonso going to get that 3rd championship?? only time will tell
Race Control: Car 55 (SAI) under investigation for causing a collision
Race Control: Car 55 (SAI) given a 3 second time penalty for causing a collision
We now see some rain falling
The drivers should be putting in a lap or 2.
Fast Forward a lap
We see Perez, Sargeant, Tsunoda, Norris, Alonso, and Hamilton all coming into the pits for inters
Mercedes will be serving Hamilton's penalty
That doesn't seem like a 5 second wait! They must've cut some time! And Hamilton made contact with Alonso on his release!
Race Control: 10 second finishing time penalty to car 44 (HAM) for improper serving of penalty
Race Control: 5 second time penalty to car 44 (HAM) for unsafe release
That's a 15 seconds time penalty to Lewis Hamilton! The FIA are finally treating Lewis equally!
📻 “this race is being manipulated man!”
Wow
📻
- So we have 3 seconds time penalty...
📻
- This is unfair man....
As the rest of the field pits for inters
As sainz pits and serves his penalty and thats clean!
and sainz still takes the lead
and meanwhile albon jumps tsunoda in the pits

Alexander albon takes the fastest lap of the race the 2 williams trading fastest laps
As leclerc is on the gearbox of verstappen
keep in mind verstappen has lots of damage to his car so he will be really slow
as we start the next lap and leclerc GOES DOWN THE INSIDE OF VERSTAPPEN AND TAKES P3!!!
Perez loosing half a second to sainz lap by lap it seems
And alonso does the same exact thing like leclerc and breezes past verstappen
📻
- Logan its james , Please abort the fastest lap attempt before the end of the lap
📻
- copy
As we see albon right behind logan looking for an overtake and logan goes hard on the defense
📻
- Logan its james, Please let albon by and hold position
📻
- Thats a bit unfair but okay... but like WTF IS A KILOMETER RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
As logan sargeant lets albon past
||nyck is gone i think||
We see Norris and De VRIES hit a DRS zone! Off they go. Norris makes a move to overtake De Vries. And he overtakes! What a move out of Norris.
📻
“I’m literally fucking awesome. That earned me an extra hour of games on your phone.”
📻
“score points and we’ll talk”
We see Zhou defending from Hamilton. Into the DRS zone they to, Zhou one tenth ahead, Hamilton pulls to the side AND HE COLLIDES WITH ZHOU TURNING INTO CORNER 6! LEWIS'S FRONT WING IS OFF AND HES THROWN INTO THE WALL AND HAS MAJOR FLOOR DAMAGE! No terminal damage though!
FIA: Car 44 (HAM) given 10 second time penalty for causing a severe collision

📻
: WHAT THE HELL??? THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!
📻
: It's called a motor race, Toto.
FIA: One race ban for Lewis Hanilton: Too many penalties and unrulingness from Mercedes Pertronas Formula One Team
Lewis Hamilton will not be participating in the Suzuka!
📻
: Box, box. Come in this lap. We will not serve your penalty for the remainder of this race.
And Lewis Hamilton is going onto intermediate tyres?!
Inter conditions aren't expected for another 6 laps so Lewis is expected to loose a lot of time here!
Carlos Sainz just lapping Lewis now.
📻
: Karma.
📻
“btw nice job on that penalty dude.”
📻
“I wear 3 watches. I can afford missing a race.”

“you can’t afford getting cut after this season”

As sainz passing everyone in the pits away from all the chaos in the pits
and into the lead back again as sainz pitted for full wets 5 laps before instead of inters that was almost another strategy blunder but this is now a strategy masterclass
📻
You're 3 tenths behind Sainz. Push as hard as possible. You have enough fuel and the tyres are fine. Push push
📻
: In 1 lap you'll be on Hülkenburg's gearbox
📻
: Stay behind Perez. Estimating a P4 finish if you keep up this pace
Let bro have his moment
Perez has caught Hulkenburg, with Verstappen only 5 tenths behind
Into turn 1 they go! Side by side! Out of turn 3 Perez takes P7. Verstappen gaining from this battle. Estimated of 2 sectors before Verstappen catches Hulkenburg
Perez gaining on Tsunoda
Sargeant is 2 tenths behind Leclerc! Turn 8 and it's down to 1! Into turn 9 they go, and Sargeant is on the gearbox of Leclerc!
It's the straight of turn 13, Sargeant has DRS from Leclerc! Side by side they go! And it's a clean overtake from the American
Thats Sargeant taking P4
We now pan back to Fernando Alonso who has caught up with Carlos Sainz. The current gap is one tenth\
Down the main straight they go, Alonso with DRS
Alonso pulls aside him. Into turn 1 THAT'S A MASSIVE LOCKUP FOR SAINZ!!! HE TAKES THE CORNER INCREDIBLE WIDE!!!
ALONSO INTO THE LEAD WITH ALBON TENTHS BEHIND SAINZ

Cutting back to perez and we see insane straight line speed of the Red Bulls. Perez making the overtake on Sargeant on the turn 6 straight.
Verstappen now making a move on Tsunoda
📻
: You will be experiencing a lack of engine power for the rest of this race.

Insane comeback story: Magnussen wins WDC and Haas wins WCC
Hello and welcome back to Jason! Today we can expect a Red Bull victory after dominance in Singapore even with major damage. We still have a 4 way battle for the championship and a even closer fight in the midfield. This weekend can either bring the drivers closer together or bring out the driver who is favorited to win.
*for times sake here is a summary of qualy:
||you will be missed thank you for everything!!!||
In Q1 Verstappen set an amazing lap ensuring a passage to Q2 after only 1 set of tyres, Sainz had a major lockup and drive into the wall, disqualifying himself. Everything else is routine, Bottas also setting perfect laps.
Q2 brought a bit more chaos. Russell, Hamilton, Leclerc, and Albon all get disqualified after a red flag caused by a wild Gaunyu.
Q1 brings nothing special and a average finish occurs
The grid follows:
P1. Verstappen
P2. Pérez
P3. Bottas
P4. Alonso
P5. Norris
P6. Sargeant
P7. Gasly
P8. Stroll
P9. Piastri
P10. Tsunoda

P19. Ocon
P20. Sainz
Dead
what race we on?
👍
Lights out and away we go! Alonso immediately jumps Bottas and nearly rams Perez as he.. Perez is stopped on his gridbox with smoke out of his car! What has happened!?
look up
Oh
Safety Car's deployed.
There is, a look of disappointment behind that visor as Perez clambers out of his car.
Safety car is peeling into the pits now and it's go time! Alonso very close by with Verstappen, some wheel to wheel action into turn 1, they stay side by side into the s-corners as we see Norris side by side with Bottas. There is Stroll charging his way through the pack through into the Dunlop Curve as the two fights at the front are still going on!
Out of corner 3 Max stays ahead of Alonso, and Bottas maintains position ahead of Norris
AND SUDDENLY MICK SCHUMACHER IS ON TRACK WITH A F1A FIGHTER JET!!
BUT NOW HE'S GONE!
George Russell locks up into the hairpin and he's into the wall! He's still moving but he's majorly damaged and any hope of points is gone!
Idk
Dead
^^ from here
AND THE TRACK HAS BEEN HIT BY A CATEGORY 81 TYPHOON
||i am coming back ppl this forum is dead without me and i dont want this forum to be dead||
As he dives into the pits and thats russell tumbling down the positions and thats all hopes for points gone!!
Gasly with DRS GOES ROUND THE OUTSIDE OF LOGAN SARGEANT INTO TURN 1 AND THATS A SENSATIONAL MOVE FOR P5 GREAT JOB!!
Tsunoda has drs and is right behind piastri he fakes to the right goes to the left and DOWN THE INSIDE he goes on piastri
awesome overtaking here
Its a Hamilton bottle! He's gone straight past the breaking zone after pressure from Guanyu. Both Zhou and Hulkenburg have overtaken him! Meanwhile Max pulls a larger gap at the front
MAX BOTTLES IT
Into the runoff he goes! Can he maintain first or will he fall down? 20 seconds is the gap to Bottas! He turns the car and it's down to 15! Entering the track, 5 seconds! He's going full sped side-by-side with Bottas, but Max has the inside line for the next turn! He pulls aheaed a bit but Bottas gets the inside next! Side-by-side they go into the main straight and Max gets the Alfa driver in breaking! That was magnificent from Max Verstappen!
Oh, wow! It's down the inside for the esses and Bottas gets passed again by Norris!
Bottas is still right behind the McLaren.. tailing away on the curbs and here comes the sharp right hander.. Down the inside is Bottas, what a beautiful position regain!
awesome stuff from bottas
Sainz has made up quite a lot of places lately after his awful mistake in Qualifying that put him in last place
he is already upto P11
right behind piastri right now he is right behind him HE MAKES A BEAUTIFUL MOVE INTO 130R
THAT WAS A SENSATIONAL MOVE FROM SAINZ AND HE IS INTO THE POINTS
lap 21/53
Russell GOES WIDE AND HE REJOINS THE TRACK ABRUPTLY AND HE HAS COLLIDED INTO MAGNUSSEN AND OCON AND THATS A HUGE CRASH OCON HAS FLIPPED INTO THE GRAVEL AND MAGNUSSEN IS SENT SPINNING INTO THE BARRIER AND THEY ARE ALL OUT OF THE RACE!!!! THATS A HUGE CRASH
Unsurprisingly thats a red flag!!!
We all hope all the drivers are okay that was a nasty crash
📻
- Are you okay esteban??? esteban are you okay????
📻
- F##k F##K WHAT THE F##K WAS THAT MERCEDES DOING???? HE JUST JOINED BACK TO THE CIRCUIT LIKE AN IDIOT .......... THERE'S FIRE WHAT DO I DO???
📻
- Stay calm stay calm the marshalls are trying to get the car to flip back again
📻

📻

📻
- He just fully TURNED INTO ME!!! Blimey sugar that was outrageous
📻
- Red flag red flag get out the car its smoking...
**
📡 : George Russell will have 5 penalty points added, and will not compete in the rest of the season. Stewards are investigating a potential strip of points in the 2022 F1 season. **
All the cars are back in the pits getting ready for the restart, wow that was a big accident. Let’s look at that replay again
We see George runs very wide and he doesn't even wait to see the drivers coming! He just goes straight onto the track obviously a safety hazard
**
📡 : After further review, the stewards have decided to strip George Russell 50 points from the World Drivers Championship.**
How does getting 5 points work??
50 points is EXCESSIVE
💀
@proper gull wtf you're just a Russell hater
??????
Bro what did yall do Jesus christ
Bro is removed from the championship for an unsafe rejoin
💀💀💀
Nah you can disqualify him from the next race but 50 points and being removed from the championship is crazy
Ik u just hate Russell and want mick in the car smh
||@proper gull i suggest you not do that removing 50 points from russell xd blimey thats outrageous.... i say penalty points added or smth and all others delete ur messages||
Here's what I say:
Penalty points, enough to ban them from the next race
No points deduction
As the red flag is cleared, we are ready to get underway again!
(Someone post update on grid and whatnot pls)
The grid follows:
P1. Verstappen 
P2. Bottas

It's lights out and away we go again! Verstappen gets a good start, bottas not so much! Norris is on his heels as they head into turn 1, side by side onto the grass AND DOWN THE INSIDE HE GOES! Lots of shuffling in the back as Logan Sargeant goes wide and into the gravel, hopping and skipping over the stones as he rejoins further back in the field.
We head into the esses now, Verstappen leads from Norris bottas then Alonso. Gasly and Stroll are side by side into Dunlop as STROLL IS TAGGED! He goes wide into the gravel, barely catching the wheel, and he's in dead last now!
Gasly continues with a broken right endplate!

Lap 23
(like, the one who talks together with Croft)
(k)
And David, uh, we've seen some purely action-infested racing here for these first few laps, an-and here comes Gasly, round the outside of Logan Sargeant, and he moves himself up into 17th place
probably going to try a recovery, but it's going to be hard considering the weather.
Lap 25
Fernando alonso is closing in on Valtteri Bottas down the main straight. Aaand with the DRS activated, he gets the move done before even heading into turn 1
Yeah, such a brilliant move there!
(The way this works is you can just take over as whoever and continue it, so everyone just shares all the roles)
Sainz right in the heels of leclerc he has got some pace that smooth operator
and LECLERC DEFENDS FROM SAINZ!!! WHAT
📻
- So uhm let sainz through let sainz through this is a team order , Sainz is faster than you...
📻
- Oh ok alright i let him through
ouch that must hurt lechair there i mean leclerc there
And albon right behind piastri and into the hairpin ITS A LATE LUNGE DOWN THE INSIDE and and he has overtaken piastri for 9th
Great move there
Lap 33/53
Norris looks to challenge max verstappen here he is only 1 second behind him right now
Into the esses we go and Max looks comfortable here but OH MAX VERSTAPPEN HAS GONES WIDE AND HE GOES TO THE GRAVEL IN A VERY HIGH SPEED AND GETS SOME AIR TIME AS WELL AND AND HE GIVES A LITTLE TAP TO THE BARRIER BUT HE KEEPS ON GOING AND HE HAS GOING BACK TO THE TRACK
He does not have a front left endplate and looks like he has some floor damage from that air time
and he is ahead of bottas by just 5 tenths
and bottas breezes past him in the straight and max pits
for new tyres as he might have had a puncture and he changes his wing as well and has dropped all the way back and is behind albon right now
Bottas is gaining fast on Norris!
Into the spoon corner they go and Norris tries the outside but Bottas blocks him- NORRIS SWITCHES DIRECTION AND GETS PUSHED OFF THE TRACK BY BOTTAS!!!
Bottas keeps the place as the gap between him and Norris widens.
The stewards have decided to give Valtteri Bottas a 5 second penalty for the recent incident with Norris. Quite a harsh punishment for a minor incident.
The grid now as of Lap 35 is:
P1: Alonso
P2: Bottas (5 sec penalty)
P3: Norris
P4: Tsunoda
P5: Sainz
P6: Leclerc
P7: Verstappen
P8: Albon
P9: Piastri

📻
- So valtteri you have recieved a 5 seconds time penalty
📻
- For what?
📻
- So they will add 5 seconds to your tim-
📻
- FOR WHAT??!?!?!
📻
- For forcing norris off the track and gaining an advantage....
If you know the reference you know....... 
verstappen with major damage here he isnt quite fast in the straights with that major floor damage as we Alexander albon breezing past the red bull of course we all know alex is fighting for the championship with alonso and alonso looks quite far ahead
Lap 40/53
Alex albon looking fast here he takes the fastest lap of the race !!! wow thats rapid and he is in the heels of leclerc they are SIDE BY SIDE INTO THE ESSES AND ALBON OVERTAKES HIM WHAT A MOVE!!!!!!!!
And norris has fallen off soo much after that incident that YUKI TSUNODA out of all people is challenging him now!
However Alonso is not willing to give up his championship lead. After the Norris-Bottas squabble he pulled out 11 seconds ahead of Bottas in second! Now he's extended that gap to 17 seconds to Bottas meaning Albon has to make up 42 seconds, meaning he has to make up 3 and a half seconds a lap in order to catch Alonso, and this is if Alonso stays at a steady pace.
Insane stats here can albon still fight for the championship or is alonso getting that sweet triple wdc
Norris is 11 seconds behind bottas that is insane he has fallen off behind quite a lot probably because of tyre wear
Tsunoda out of all people is challenging that mclaren is lando norrris!!!!
And sainz not that far behind
As we see into the the backstretch
Tsunoda he has the power he has the slipstream he has got DRS say GOODBYE TO LANDO NORRIS AS YUKI TSUNODA CLIMBS INTO THE PODIUM PLACES
Sainz and leclerc right behind norris right now he has too much tyre wear at this point
Sainz right behind norris As we go through 130R AND ROUND THE OUTSIDE OF LAND NORRIS WOW THAT WAS OPTIMISTIC MOVE THERE IS HE MAKING IT STICK??? INTO THE CASIO TRIANGLE WE GO HE MAKES THAT MOVE STICK AND SAINZ UPTO P4
Lap 48/53
📻
- Why do we just retire at this point i am loosing soo much time in the straights with this damage everyone is going to just breeze past me
📻
- Keep your head down bud we can still achieve some points here
📻
- I have got too much tyre wear man f##k f##k
📻
- If we box we will loose lots of track position and we may not be able to gain them only 5 laps to go head down
Leclerc right behind norris now into the last corner the casio triangle LECLERC LOCKS UP AND RUNS INTO THE BACK OF NORRIS!!!
Norris can continue he is back racing but leclerc oh he has damage on his front wing and thats a lot of damage
Thats quite a chunk of wing gone
and as he peels into the pits straight away
📻
- I HAVE DAMAGE F##K I AM BOXING
📻
- UH UH STAY OUT STAY STAY OUT STAY OUT WE ARE NOT READY
📻
- F##K F##K
And as we see he has suffered a 20 SECOND pit stop there and has tumbled all the way out of the points
And piastri hamilton zhou all together here trading positions here and there breezes past verstappen
ALL 3 OF THEM GETS PAST VERSTAPPEN IN THE MAIN STRAIGHT
Lap 52/53
GASLY RIGHT BEHIND VERSTAPPEN FOR P10 FINAL POINT SCORING POSITION GASLY DOWN THE HAIRPIN THATS A LATE LUNGE DOWN THE INSIDE OF VERSTAPPEN AND HE HAS MADE THAT MOVE WELL DONE PIERE GASLY!!!!
As we go to the last couple of corners of the last lap FERNANDO ALONSO WIN THE JAPANESE GRAND PRIX!!!!!! AND BOTTAS HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB IN MAKING A GAP TO MAINTAIN HIS POSITION WITH THAT PENALTY HE FINSIHES P2 AND YUKI TSUNODA OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE COMES HOME TO GET A PODIUM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FORMULA 1 !!!!
wanna start another race
btw one question
is it allowed to do races at GPs that are unexistant in the F1 calendar?
for example the Botswanan GP at Seretse Khama circuit
not now we have to finish this F1 season
oh ok

can we do another race
or are there specific days to do these
i haven't understood quite well i gotta be honest
Yes we are at Losial now
when can we start?
Now
Yep
And it's lights out and away we go! Bottas gets away very well, but here comes Alonso right behind him to close the gap; here's Albon and then Norris, down turn 3, much faster than Albon as he goes down his inside, and overtakes him!
Alonso, now, gets the lead of the race while Bottas follows! They're already wheel to wheel, look at that! Alonso locks up at turn 7, lets Bottas through, AND HERE COMES LANDO NORRIS! It's a fantastic overtake by the British, as he now is in 2nd place. What a move!
📻
- Sorry guys, I err locked up, didn't really know what to do in that situation
Meanwhile we look at the midfield as Hamilton and Verstappen fight for P8, Verstappen now through turn 9, on the inside of Hamilton, overtakes him, but it's not done yet, as Hamilton is right behind him! He tries to go down the inside of Verstappen, but he gets his door shut. Meanwhile here's Leclerc, through turn 12 and its straight, reaching the 2- AND OH!! THAT'S A BIG CRASH, LECLERC HITS THE REAR OF HAMILTON, AND THEY'RE BOTH OUT OF THE RACE!
📻
- What the hell was that? Did he not see me?
MY MAN
MY MAN YUKI
📻
- Hamilton, stop the car, there is a VSC, repeat, VSC, we have to retire
📻
- What an idiot!
And the virtual safety car is out and everyone's slowing down. Let's have a look at the accident again.
Okay so Verstappen and Hamilton are battling down here and then there's Leclerc closing in on both of them and he literally goes right into him on the straight. That looks like such a purposeful crash.
Alright, let's also look at the race start again.
As the lights go out you can see Bottas has insane reaction time but Alonso chases him. There's Norris who proceeds to overtake both of them and from this angle we get to see how the midfield started. Tsunoda gets a good jump but gets passed on the main straight by his teammate and now there's a battle ensuing between Zhou and Sargeant. At the back of the field is Hulkenberg starting right at the rear with De Vries right in front and he goes for the overtake of both him and Sargeant but gets blocked off and has to brake.
(is this f2 with the amount of crashes
)
lol yes
yall didnt make the grid before starting the race 😭
oof sorry mate
ye i gotta get better
well currently we know bottas is p2 starter and alonso p1

Logan sargeant picking up the pace here is right behind zhou guanyu here into turn 6 we go OOOH thats an optimistic divebomb right there from logan sargeant but now he right in the heels of him now into the run down to turn 7 he is got the slipstream and he gets past zhou guanyu!!! well done and lance stroll OOOOOH HE WENT WIDE that lets logan and zhou to get past stroll costly mistake for stroll there and sargeant is upto p13

Ocon goes down the inside of his teammate Gasly and is now drafting Piastri!
And that's Yuki vs Zhou for P13 but Zhou's defense is great and Yuki is unable to get past him!
Sainz is making a move on Alonso but OH! HE'S LOCKED UP INTO THE GRAVEL! Perez and Verstappen and Piastri and Ocon all pass him before he gets back onto the track and is attempting to defend Gasly!!
There's Yuki trying the overtake again and he makes it but nearly forgets to switch up, giving Zhou an advantage on the straight! And Yuki tries to defend and oh.. oh.. oh.. he manages to keep his sweet P13!!
Lap 25 now and Albon's gaining on Norris!!!
Sainz is trying to make up lost places here for that very costly mistake as we start with our first round of pitstop and Norris is the first to blink in the top 10 to pit
Albon gaining gaining gaining gaining on Norris there AND ROUND THE OUTSIDE HE GOES ON LANDO NORRIS AND ALBON IS THROUGH FOR P2!!!! AWESOME STUFF HERE
📻
- Whats the gap to the car behind?
📻
- So the car behind is albon, and he is 3.7 s behind
📻
- F##k
Ocon and russell having a titanic fight here for P11 Russell GOES DOWN THE INSIDE AND GOES DEEP and ocon does the switchback but its not over yet russell is gaining gaining gaining and he might go for a move OH HE HAS MADE SLIGHT CONTACT WITH OCON THERE IN THE STRAIGHT
This chat is very dead on somedays
RUSSELL DOSENT HAVE A PART OF HIS WING AND OCON HAS A PUNCTURE NOW!!!!!!!!
AS WE SEE RUSSELL HURRYING TO THE PITS FOR A NEW WING AND POOR OCON LIMPING BACK TO THE PITS WITH A PUNCTURE
**
📡 : Car 63 (RUS) given a 5 second time penalty for causing a collision**
as we see both drivers tumbling down the the order all way to p16 and p17 respectively
that allows all the drivers promoted 2 places up and thats sargeant right in the points and this is cruicial for the williams team here they are fighting AMR for the WCC too
As the rapid sainz is quickly making places here he is already past verstappen and he is right behind perez for P5 where he originally was before the incident
Perez goes TOO DEEP into the last corner and sainz is through what a great recovery

He is just better
1 light, 2 lights, 3 lights, 4 lights, 5 lights.
AND WE ARE RACING AT THE CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS!
Alonso has got a decent start But Hamilton has had a majestic start and coming into the first corner has overtooken both Bottas and Verstappen! What a great start for Hamilton And Russell is able to catch Verstappen to make it into P3, what a majestic start for both the Mercedes.
However Verstappen isn't happy with that start. He is tailing Russell throughout turns 2 to 7. Onto the straight after turn 10 and he's side by side with the Brit! Into corner 11 and he makes the move back into P4
Watching the start back we see the amazing start from the American of Logan Sargeant. Starting from P20 he has a lightning reaction time of 0.053 seconds and makes it up to P16 into turn 1 where he made a wonderful move up to P13
Perez was also able to jump Norris into turn 1.
Cutting back to the chase for the top 5. Bottas makes his way past George Russell and Max Verstappen pressuring Lewis Hamilton once again

The two alpines have switched locations and Sargeant continues to climb. Carlos Sainz who had a bad start aswell is being pressured by the American of Logan Sargeant.
Onto the long straight after turn 11 we go and the rocketship of the Williams pulls up alongside the Spaniard and stays there until turn 12 where he overtook in the breaking zone.
But there is contact! The Williams has got damage and a puncture, he must come in now!
YELLOW FLAGS OUT IN SECTOR 1 AND OH MY! 3 CARS OUT WIDE IN THE FIRST CORNER...
SAINZ, HULKENBERG AND OCON HAVE GONE OUT IN THE FIRST CORNER AND MAJOR DAMAGE TO THEIR CARS! THAT'S 3 DNFS OUT OF THE RACE AND A LOT OF DEBRIS THE FIRST TURN AND SOME IN SECTOR 3...
||how many red flags have occurred this season?||
||Idk||
SAFTEY CAR!
As we almost begin lap 5, The safety car is now to come in the pits.
AND WE ARE RACING AGAIN AT COTA! ALONSO TRYS TO DEFRND FROM HAMILTON AND VERSTAPPEN LOONS LIKE HES LOSING TO BOTTAS, COMING INTO TURN 1 NOW AND OH MY GOODNESS! HAMILTON TAKES THE LEAD OF THE RACE AND BOTTAS GAINS 2 PLACES TO GET SECOND AND OH OH OH NO!
PEREZ GOES WIDE, HES WENT WIDE AND LOOKS LIKE HE'S GIVING UP.
📻
Car issue, car issue guys.....
And that's Sergio Pérez, who is out of this race!
📻
Stop the car, Sergio, stop the car.
📻

Meanwhile we get on board with hamilton now, as we go in the final corner... HE'S DONE IT!!! HES TOOKEN THE LEAD OF THE UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX.
However can he hold onto it? HE LOCKS UP!! VERSTAPPEN INTO YHE LEAD, ALONSO BRHIND
@proper gull is this right?
Yeah
@keen nest delete it.
What happened?
Some idiot posting about Glock.
Smh
Hamilton will be rejoining in last place, with 8 seconds between De Vries
📻
: Check the car conditions.
📻
: There is some minor floor damage. We are investigating an issue with the front left tire.
This could be Hamilton's race over. These final few races will be crucial for him as he's in a championship fight for places between 7th and 15th.
A poor finish can ruin his chances of getting ahead
Meanwhile Alonso is almost confirmed as the 2023 F1 champion, however it's not locked in for certain yet.

Last update on the race
Lap 23:
Theres an aston martin going slowly down the front straight...it's Fernando alonso!
Smoke coming out the back of the Aston and that's him out of the race
And that's a safety car; the straight is littered with debris from the rear of the car
Race Control: Safety car will go through the pitlane
And Logan sargeant takes the lead because there was oil in front of Verstappen 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We are
AND SARGEANT STOPS HIS CAR?? HE GOES OUT TO TAKE THE OIL
VERSTAPPEN TAKES THE LEAD AGAIN
Wtf
Return to this point.
📻
: Front left puncture. That's a puncture. Box now for softs
This horrible for Lewis! He has to complete almost a full lap around COTA before he can pit! This looks like a non-points finish for him
He's down the P18 after others overtook due to him lapping to slow
We see the soft runner of Bottas aswell as Hamilton both boxing for hards
A last minute stop made by Alphatauri brings De Vries into the pits
He is into the pits now
and now is a great time to talk about our sponsors here in create a race, dogecoin!
||bro how many dnfs is that i swear its more than 5 at this point and someone send the current race lb||
||this should definitely get a DNF award||
A
@proper gull did we predict williams having a front runner car 😭 😭😭
No 😭😭😭
Let's have a look at the action in the back as oh no! De Vries has been ordered to stop on the side of the track as we see Ricciardo by the fence! They're swapping cars!? Not even gonna swap the number, and he is on the track!
(if this gets ❎'d then understandable)
Nyck de Vries retires from the race, due to what looks to be a car swap, as we see Nyck getting out of his AlphaTauri and the number 21 getting replaced by the number 3. It looks like Ricciardo is going to be back racing, and we can see Daniel Ricciardo running out of the garage to get into the car and escape a smashing up of the AlphaTauri garage. Meanwhile Yuki Tsunoda is pulling over with what looks to be a mechanical failure.
Nyck De Vries retires from the race after 11 laps and unfortunately thats his career over as Daniel Ricciardo hops in the car.
Let it die already 😭
Eee

We see now that Norris and all of the back markets have shot up the grid through those incidents.
We're watching as Alonso seems to be experiencing major understeer. It's down to a 2 tenths gap between him and Bottas. Going back to the Lower part of the grid we see Piastri putting pressure on Sargeant who is held up by Gasly.
FASTEST LAP:
George Russell #63
Bottas Has DRS open on the Main Straight, alonso's defending, this battle is continuing onto turn 1..
HERE COMES BOTTAS ON THE OUTSIDE! HE'S TRYING..
AS THEY GO DOWN INTO TURN 12 THEYRE SIDE-BY-SIDE AND BOTTAS MAINTAINS IN INSIDE LINE THROUGH THE ESSES! That's Bottas ahead going out of turn 9
Norris has also gained a lot of time on Alonso from the fighting. We can expect him looking to make a move in the next few laps
As we are looking at Norris Gaining...
Piastri also looks down the inside of Sargeant going into turn 12. He goes to the inside...
OH MY, HE'S HIT LOGAN'S SIDEPOD!
LOOKS TO BE DAMAGE ON THE WILLIAMS, THIS IS WHAT THEY DIDNT WANT TO HAPPEN
That's also some damage to Piastri's wing end plate!
||i must admit there been alotta crashes||
||yeah but as long as we don't do to many more big crashes we should be ok||
📡 : Incident between car 81 (PIA) and car 2 (SAR) is under investigations
📻
: Guys.. I think we have to retire the car, too much damage on the sidepod...
📻
: Come into the pits, we'll make one final look before retiring you
Looking back on the replay we see Piastri just didn't turn at the apex and he was mostly in Logan's blind spot.
📡 : Incident between car 81 (PIA) and car 2 (SAR) noted. No further actions nessesary.
We see Piastri coming into the pits now and Logan not far behind
We see Piastri fitting a fresh pair of softs and getting a quick wing change. It's a great 6.82 seconds. Meanwhile it seems like the Williams crew is retiring Logan.
Piastri comes out in P12, loosing 3 positions.
Looking at the other McLaren towards the top of the grid Norris seems to really be closing in on Alonso
lap 22:
Fernando Alonso will now have DRS on Max Verstappen! Can he mount a challenge down the main straight here...as Verstappen has a bit of a moment on the exit, and HERE COMES FERNANDO ALONSO!
SIDE BY SIDE INTO TURN 1, MAX ON THE INSIDE
FERNANDO ON THE OUTSIDE AND THEY TOUCH, ALONSO IS OUT OF THE RACE AND THATS A BIG CRASH INTO T1 (IDK what track we at so i copy 2021)
Were at COTA
Ok
Lap 23: Through the S scetions, Alonso is losing grip and HE RUNS WIDE! Bottas is a few tenths behind at the start of the straight, but he has DRS!
Lap 24: Bottas has been gaining now he's +0.500s away from Alonso who dosen't Have DRS
This is getting too crash prone
So
Unofficially, There will be no more crashes after lap 24. @placid lagoon (if you accept it's official)
Brev all i said was alonso is being closed by bottas
"runs wide"
Not me
just restart
or do a different track

choose a normal circuit that isn't bugged
wait I thought this was gp4
mb

LMFAO
||continue the race but pls no incidents || as we go the back straight nearly a kilometer bottas has DRS he is gaining gaining gaining gaining and with the slipstream as well BOTTAS GETS PAST ALONSO
Piastri with fresher faster tyres is all over the back of magnussen and zhou magnussen and zhou ARE SIDE BY SIDE WITH EACH OTHER BUT HERE COMES OSCAR PIASTRI THEY ARE 3 WIDE INTO THE STRAIGHTS AND OSCAR PIASTRI GETS A DOUBLE OVERTAKE DONE!!!!!

Lqp 40:
Lewis Hamilton has DRS on Nyck De Vries and He is gaining fast

|| Stopped existing apparently ||
Lap 41: Hamilton is lining up a move on the second alpha tauri.
He makes the move now can he make it stick as Tsunoda sticks back
Lap 44: It looks like the Aston Martin of Lance Stroll is catching up to the Mercedes. Will he be able to go for another position?
Sector 2&3: Stroll is within DRS and is gaining, gaining and gaining; He's going for it! But the door was quickly shut by George! Outstanding defending there.
Lap 45: Stroll has the 2nd opportunity down the main straight. He's even MORE closer to Russell now.
He's gaining again but he just can't make it. He has to try again later on.
Sector 2&3: 3rd times the charm as they say it, Stroll is on Russell's gearbox - you could put a needle between the 2. He's gaining, gaining, and gaining, AND HE GOES FOR THE DIVEBOMB! Does he make it stick? Yes he does! For now, Stroll is ahead...
stroll tries divebombing and knocks his wheel off
Within the past few laps Verstappen has powered up to P2. He looks for a move on Bottas I to P2... he goes... and he... backs out!

its time for the restart...it will be a standing start
bottas leads them to the grid...
5 red lights for the second time today...
AND ITS LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO
AND IMMEDIATELY SCHUMACHER GETS AN EXCELLENT START ALONG WITH CARLOS SAINZ
SCHUMACHER TAKES THE LEAD OF THE RACE, BOTTAS SIDE BY SIDE WITH CARLOS SAINZ
in the back thats Lance stroll, locking UP AND HE GOES DEEP
he has to cut the grass and rejoin between the two haases

Lap 2 of the GP, Zhou is gaining on Alonso, with DRS, Alonso on the grass! AND THEY TOUCH! Alonso off into the gravel and is rejoining the track, that's a destroyed front wing. Zhou is also in the gravel, but managed to get out and he looks ok to continue.
📻
All the time you have to leave the space!
📻
That's a five second for Zhou
📻
Five scond is a yoke! A yoke!!
Alonso is in the pits replacing his front wing, it's 10.2 seconds.
As all the debris is off the track near the marshals post, no VSC or SC is deployed.
📻
Yeah sorry guys... that was my fault. All okay with the damage.
Looking towards the front of the grid, the new Mercedes driver of Schumacher makes a rookie mistake locking up in turn 7. Into the gravel he goes, and comes out behind Zhou. Bottas is now in the lead with 18 seconds between him and Sainz.
Lap 4: There's a patch of rain coming at the track in a couple of minutes. The drizzle is already kicking in.
📻
I feel the uh, rain coming down. Check the radar, and see if we box for inters.
📻
We are checking.
📻
(sigh)
Incident involving car 77 (BOT) noted - track limits
📻
The FIA have taken notice of your track limits, so be a bit more careful.
📻
I'm ----- slipping everywhere right now. I think we need inters soon.
Yeah, and we see many drivers starting to slip around as the rain keeps coming down.
leclerc makes an early pitstop
2.1 seconds !!
ferrari have done a good pitstop for once
As the rain continues raging on, Leclerc is passing by everyone easily! By the end of the lap, Leclerc is already in fifth, and will surely be in the lead by a huge margin once everyone boxes. Oh, and that's Bottas, narrowly avoiding the wall as two others collect int he same spot!
charles leclerc is lapping almost 3 seconds faster than everyone else
BOTTAS 1.8 SECOND PIT STOP! AMAZING
HE COMES OUT SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF LECLERC! BUT CHARLES GETS THE LEAD BACK! AND INTO TURN 1 BOTTAS GAINS BAXK THE LEAD!
Everyone is in the pitlane, and it's chaos in there! Sargeant almost collides with Perez, Stroll does collide with Zhou, and Ocon, Hulkenberg, and Magnussed are all caught up in a jumbled mess, blocking the pitlane. Only one that's stayed out is Ricciardo for some reason and he slips into the walls, he'll limp home at half speed. Bottas is STILL grappling with Leclerc.
📻
What is this mate??
📻
The WIlliams just turned into me. Did you see that?
📻
I've got damage, I've got damge to the sidepod.
📻
Yeah I knew we shouldn't have stayed out... I've got no grip.
Meanwhile up front, Bottas is pulling out a bit and LECLERC HAS IT THE WALL! It seems like his car is fine but the left endplate fell off and he's now 14 seconds behind Valtteri.
and ocon gets a 10 second stop and go penalty
Schumacher passes Zhou with a sweeping outside move, but goes on the grass, looking for grip. He gives the position back but quickly reovertakes him. At the front of the grid, Sainz is gaining almost a second a lap up to Bottas because Bottas is sliding around too much. The thunder has started and the slight drizzle has turned into a rainstorm.
📻
Okay Lando, you're P3. Don't worry about Leclerc behind you.
📻
Copy
||Guys we seriously need to stop making too many crashes ||
||ok||
And max still somehow wins

Where's Hamilton

Nope it's Bottas

Hulkenberg and Perez are both in this lap for full wets! Huge risk because the rain is going to stop soon! It's a 3.0 for Hulkenberg and a 2.3 for Perez.
I don't think the full wets will work tho since the rain is gonna stop soon so that might be a really bad pit call for both hulkenberg and perez!
Looks like perez and hulkenberg's strategies have paid off, the rain has turned into a storm and the two are catching up rapidly! To those who stayed out, they're just praying the rain stops soon because there's intense sun right after, which will dry up the track quickly.\
By the time the rain stopped, the two will probably be back in their spots before the pit and possibly even better!
AND THE RAIN HAS STOPPED AND THE TRACK IS DRYING UP MASSIVELY
HALF THE GRID HAS BOXED FOR SLICKS
MICK SCHUMACHER HAS DONE A 1.9 SECOND PITSTOP!!!
AND HAS JUMPED SAINZ , NORRIS AND LECLERC!!!!
HE IS UPTO P2 AS VALTTERI BOTTAS THE RACE LEADER HAS BOXED AND A SOLID STOP 2.0 SECONDS
HE COMES OUT OF THE PITS ITS GONNA BE CLOSE HAS MICK GOT THE UNDERCUT???? BOTTAS LEAVES THE PITS AND MICK IS GOING TO BE CLOSE THEY ARE SIDE BY SIDE IN THE STRAIGHTS AND AS WE GO INTO THE BRAKING ZONE MICK SCHUMACHER HAS TAKEN THE LEAD OF THE RACE!!!!!!!!

BREAKING NEWS: VERSTAPPEN TO MISS VEGAS, REPLACEMENT VETTEL
Following the Turn 1 incident, Verstappen was visibly frustrated as he walked off to the paddock. All of the red flags and safety cars in the rest of the race gave Verstappen enough time to evaluate his decision to step away from F1 for Vegas. He stated that he would be attending cycling and karting tournaments for the month, and he said that he only did this because he wouldn't win the championship anyway. Horner revealed during the red flags that Vettel was going to race with Red Bull at Vegas. Vettel is "excited to race" as Red Bull might find him as a potential replacement for Perez for '24 if he does well enough.
George DNF'ed
Meant to say Schumacher, sorry
ok
||Vettel????? Why not Drugo :(||
Congrats @tropic yoke, you're now on lap 5

BREAKING: ALBON REPLACEMENT SET TO BE DRUGOVICH, VETTEL RUMORS FOR 2024
Williams's upgrades have paid off as it's an incredible result in qualifying, Sargeant missing pole by +0.003. Russell will start in the pits as he was on the racing line while Piastri was on a fast lap near the start of Q1. Piastri's front wing brushed against Russell's front right tyre causing Piastri to get front wing and suspension damage, while Russell got a puncture. Piastri tried to turn but collided with the wall, while Russell limped home with some damage to the front of the car, and he couldn't set any good laptimes.

Here we go then for the start of the Vegas Grand Prix! Bottas on Pole, followed by the 2 Williams cars, then Vettel in P4.
Drugovich has had a slow start, being overtaken by Vettel and Alonso, but gets Alonso back at T1
Zhou's had an amazing start and overtakes Norris, has an outside look on Alonso and they almost make contact, Zhou is forced off and cuts the grass to rejoin the track behind Alonso. Vettel gets a good exit out of turn 3 and is gaining on Sargeant, AND GETS THE MOVE DONE! Bottas leads by 1 second already.
Vettel is gaining RAPIDLY on Bottas after he locks up, and HERE COMES SEBASTIAN VETTEL ON THE OUTSIDE! CAN HE GET HTE MOVE DONE, YES HE CAN!
📻
Great work mate.
📻
Yeah, pretty nice, that
📻
The mediums are... really struggling.
Everyone has put on the softs except for Bottas, Alonso, Perez, Gasly, the two Haases, and Hamilton. Those drivers are on mediums, and they're all struggling as Sargeant and Drugovich are both gaining on Bottas.
Lap 8:
Bottas is behind Vettel... into turn 1 bottas goes on the inside and makes the move!
Lap 10:
Bottas is now 5 seconds ahead of Vettel.
Lap 13:

Oh what's happened there? Esteban Ocon has had a major accident down the long back straight and that is sure to be a safety car at the very least. Wait, there's another car there too - and it's Oscar Piastri in the - well, what was a McLaren five seconds ago! Yes, it's going to be a red flag here at the 2023 Las Vegas GP, and terrible, terrible luck for Sebastian Vettel, Sergio Perez and the Red Bull squad.
There's Max Verstappen next to Christian Horner, watching from the Red Bull pit wall, Max with a pair of crutches after his crash in Mexico

...and Daniel Ricciardo has been awarded a 5 second time penalty for track limits at Turns 9 and 10. Remember, if you're a Sky Q or a Sky Glass Customer, you can press your red button to watch the action of the last couple of laps, and plenty of action there has been! Over to you, Ted Kravitz.

Lap 17 Restart:

BUT THATS NOT IT!
DRUGOVICH LOCKS UP INTO THRN 1! THATS HIM WIDE AND DOWN TO P8!
Bottas regains the lead with 1 second to Alo- no, to Norris
We see Alonso swerved into Lewis behind a slow Bottas. No major damage to either parties, however Lewis has front wing damage and that's suspension on Alonso might be going.
That's both down to P14 and P15

📻
WHY DID HE F****** GO INTO ME?!??!

You're missing a front wing, box, box this lap. We will see what happens, if he gets penalised or not.
5 second time penalty for car 13 (DRU): Causing a collision

There's Drugovich on the runoff road there and he doesn't look too happy with that penalty.
📻 13 You've been awarded a 5-second time penalty for that collision. It's not what we wanted, but we can't change it now.

I need to pit, the car feels unstable.
📻 13 Understood, box now.
Drugovich pits
And yes, Felipe Drugovich is out of the car and out of the Las Vegas GP.
Lewis Hamilton is still going slower than the Haas' and may just have to become the fifth retiree today.

OK Lewis, retire the car, retire the car, pit this lap.

It does
@placid lagoon

||sorry for ping but kk||
Big shame for Lewis Hamilton here today, as we register yet another DNF.
Frame moves to Bottas and Norris
You now what? That gap there... between Valtteri and Lando has- has definitely closed up. The McLaren driver, right on the gearbox of that Alfa Romeo.
As we have a yellow flag in sector 1...
...and it is one of the Ferraris down in the escape road of Turn 1.
📻
I spun.
no
delete
ffs
why
we cant have 6 dnfs
this is esports lvl
and esports is more carnage than a normal f3 race
max dnfs is 5
we have a version of this
nt to copy
but to make the 2023 ssn better#
ok
wdym?
2024 alfa go brr
it was normal at the beginning
ok
for the most part
can we make it so we cant always have massive crashes (yes, some races could be boring but so can irl be) and there is like 3 dnf max per race
let everyone choose their path
breh we 16 laps in bahrain in my and we have 5dnf cuz of the heat
4 cuz engine 1 crash
~25 laps
imo increase that to 5 dnfs, most races have a range from 2 to 5
but since this is public it's kinda hard to control what people want in the race sooo
exactly
ok say 5
but if we have like 5 people out on the first corner it just ruins it kinda
yeah
no more than 2 dnfs per 8 laps and if it's a double dnf make sure they crashed with eachother
ok
seems fair
Daniels ricciardo with the most outrageous divebomb
We're at the vegas grand prix.
and we're in the middle of it
into the pits comes...
Very sad indeed
Hamilton is trying to overtake Norris
And Norris with some really good defending, holds 3rd place.
Norris gets taken over by Hamilton. Nevermind as Norris takes him over on the curve once more
verstappen is not racing

Into the final lap we go! Norris is on the back of bottas.. but into the final corner Lando goes for it!!! The outside he goes trying so desperately to get past and he's side by side! They cross the finish line... AND ITS BOTTAS AHEAD! BOTTAS WINS BY 0.12 SECONDS! Lando takes fastest lap as the rest of the grid crosses the line.
Gasly comes home in 3rd! Incredible result for Gasly as Sargeant and Zhou are battling to the line, Sargeant looks ahead but is slow in the final corner and Zhou overtakes him! Zhou P5, Leclerc follows, Magnussen overtakes a struggling Perez on the wets! What a thrilling race here in Vegas! We have 2 more races to decide the championship!
