Abu Dhabi GP - Dec 10-12

[graceful linden]

Discussion thread for the last Grand Prix of the 2021 season.

[crude verge]

cant believe this is it

[final kestrel]

Didn't Verstappen get a points penalty?

I'd also assume they won't score at all

[real reef]

yeah, earned 2 penalty points recently

[final kestrel]

So Hamilton is leading now

[real reef]

oh, Max got 7 penalty points (the same as Checo)

Lewis has only 2

[fossil sun]

penalty points dont affect championship points

[mental hazel]

FP1 <t:1639128600:f>, <t:1639128600:R>
FP2 <t:1639141200:f>, <t:1639141200:R>
FP3 <t:1639216800:f>, <t:1639216800:R>

Race <t:1639314000:f>, <t:1639314000:R>

[final kestrel]

Oh

So what do they do?

[gaunt cape]

well there's like 4 outcomes out of this event and no matter what it's probs gonna be a shitfest

[gaunt cape]

limit aggression of a driver when he's close to a race ban

[final kestrel]

Verstappen takes out Hamilton, he gets disqualified but it doesn't matter because he wins automatically

[gaunt cape]

unless they dsq him from wdc

which is a likely scenario coz it happened

[fossil sun]

if you get 12 you get dsq from the next race

[gaunt cape]

max needs to win it outright and fair and he earns the respect of every1 , no debate. Doing his shoving off track tricks will force a collision likely or a penalty again which is gonna end in a shitfest

[tidal finch]

Yeah enough of the shenanigans (from both drivers / teams) that we got last race

[gaunt cape]

if a collision happens merc will defo push for the wdc dsq penalty and it's really likely it goes through seeing how max managed his way to crash in italy and now jeddah and that will hurt this sport a lot 🗿

[graceful linden]

Crashing really isn't a good option for Max considering what Root said, yeah. The only way It would be good is if Lewis causes It and takes out both, but I don't see that happening. Sure he plays weird mindgames, but he's also trying to survive more than Max does

[gaunt cape]

well with how safe lewis played his cards in jeddah and baited max into the penalties yeah

lewis knew engine power and tyres were gonna work at one point and abu well we have straights of like 3.5km combined

and a less technical now 3rd sector

[graceful linden]

Definitely Lewis' championship to lose at this point, not much RB can do unless they find some speed napping somewhere.

[tidal finch]

If only there wasn't that Silverstone incident haha
I'm sure this will be brought up on the table if Lewis ends up champion

[gaunt cape]

a lot of things will be brought up nonetheless

[tidal finch]

True

[gaunt cape]

italy would've been lewis race to win as well

[tidal finch]

I think the inter season will be full of drama...

[graceful linden]

Well, in Silverstone at least It was a direct clash. Hungary is even worse as It was a wingman of Mercedes taking out entire Red Bull team

[tidal finch]

Lmao

[graceful linden]

Valtteri 2021 Mercedes MVP, we wouldn't be talking about silver arrows or Lewis title without him

[gaunt cape]

man hungary was just unfortunate

imola was also almost unfortunate

[graceful linden]

That moment when even Toto wasn't amused cause the man was battling Williams in Mercedes, never forget

[gaunt cape]

toto built different

he saw jos smash the table so toto smashed the table and his headset the next day

[graceful linden]

Have to wonder how much of It is just for show, he's overkilling It imo

[gaunt cape]

well it's still funny

horner is keeping it professional but at this point even he starts fucking cracking

when he was with vettel he was not going against every1 this fast, marko was an idiot the whole time tho

[graceful linden]

Horner just looks depressed when they're in bad luck

[gaunt cape]

they put all their money on max for years now, it seems to be paying off like it did with vettel, let's see for how long

man i just miss how good vettel was

[graceful linden]

Well, he got nerfed with driving cars that don't give the same confidence basically every year when this era started

[gaunt cape]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBFu4rxwRF0

[graceful linden]

He'd be in a much better situation if Merc would lose Lewis at some point before 2020, but now It's pretty much rip career.

[gaunt cape]

look how he straightens up the wheel before braking harder to not lock up and go into the pit wall

he did end up getting a drive through for this incident but he could've dnf'd himself out with this late asf call to change direction

lewis whole career depended on mclarens shitty management and ability to throw races coz technical issues

and ofc the late niki lauda

[graceful linden]

It was a god tier call to get together when everyone was like "Loois what are you doink?" back then

[gaunt cape]

the whole 2011 and 2012 struggles lead to niki poaching him

2012 could've been lewis championship year but his 2nd part of the season was just a fucking disaster both mechanically and luck wise

oh well 2012 season was a disaster for every1 and that's why it made a really amazing season

back when cars could follow eachother

[graceful linden]

2010 and 2012 were some of the best years I watched.

When more than 1-2 teams could build a good car.

[meager granite]

He doesn’t have to win, just finish higher than Hamilton

[graceful linden]

Root probably means the championship overall.

[meager granite]

Yea, right

[gaunt cape]

ur not telling me the bottas that was stuck behind a ricciardo for 26 laps , or a perez that sunk in the midfield after 2 restarts can contest for a W next week

[meager granite]

I think u replied to the wrong comment

[gaunt cape]

lewis and max right now are on a whole different level of pace no matter what happens if it ain't a dnf they are finishing 1-2

[meager granite]

That’s true.

[gaunt cape]

el plan back in 2010

[real reef]

https://youtu.be/nR3nIuuBsxk

[humble bay]

https://youtu.be/cGnJ2VH0BNc

[graceful linden]

I still wonder what is Lewis' logic here "Oh hey he let me closer, no need to pass" ???? It just looks so fake, that act from him.

[meager granite]

F1 scripted, 100% confirmed.

[tidal finch]

@topaz pivot look at the comments lmao
What a fest

[tidal finch]

They both played strategy around drs that's all lol
It's not a brake test
And Lewis was a bit on the throttle at the last time (to get the drs and the overtake in the turn)
It's just that
That Merc pitwall scenario is just nonsense lol

[graceful linden]

Well yeah, but you can also see how Lewis reacted in cockpit as if It's not the case, what an actor

[tidal finch]

Kekw

[gaunt cape]

it's literally in the fia document that noone wanted to be ahead during slow pace before drs zone

there is no acting both knew what was at stake

especially since the "let him past" came in late, lewis knew how to play around it, and max was told to let him pass strategically

[humble bay]

Remember when vettel hit Hamilton
And now this in Saudia

Going through the reason for stewards decision id say if they are going to punish one might as well punish both cause to a certain extent both of them were at fault still leaning more towards Lewis for greater fault here on this one .
And oh boy time to also unsub from F1 subreddit

[gaunt cape]

completely different scenario wtf

[humble bay]

Penalty was given cause seb drove alongside and hit him

I'm trying to see brake testing then and brake testing now

[gaunt cape]

maintaining pace behind sc restart vs actual racepace

???

[humble bay]

In Saudia there was no safety car Lewis could have just overtaken, in Azerbaijan it was a SC seb had to stay behind sudden Lewis slowdown and then they touched then

Here it was a clear cut case to just over take there were no safety cars they were racing

[gaunt cape]

why would he overtake before a drs zone where max just zooms back?

[humble bay]

He was being given the position he should have just taken it he did damage to his car but also to Max's

[gaunt cape]

max just forces him to take a bad line through last corner and get an easy sweepback

[brisk frost]

which is smart

[gaunt cape]

you don't give a position back just to challange it next straight

Hamilton did it in 2008 spa he was penalized asf

he knows the best

[humble bay]

At times Hamilton radio was just annoying felt that some it was an act.

[graceful linden]

Are there any actual rules preventing It though? I just never heard anyone talk about It that way.

We clearly need new ones if a driver in the back is somehow allowed to just wait for a fortunate moment.

[gaunt cape]

bruh you cannot just keep brkaing late missing corners shoving others off track and still get to keep position

like yeah you do it once twice but then it just gets annoying

[graceful linden]

Well then remove this whole giving position back circus and give time penalties only.

[gaunt cape]

that's the usual procedure

they just give the position back to avoid the time penalty

[graceful linden]

Better just have penalties only than this clown fiesta of people trying too hard to still punish each other instead of race control doing It.

[gaunt cape]

hell lewis got a 25 second penalty after the sketch giving back position

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7njqB0G0-aE timestamp 1:20

[meager granite]

25s wtf

bruh blocked to watch through discord

[gaunt cape]

like every f1 vid

[bitter pier]

Not trying to stir up controversy here I just found it funny 🗿

[graceful linden]

Big doubt, think FIA and racecontrol will finally have enough if there's an actual takedown happening at this stage. Yeah they're not doing great, but some lines shouldn't be crossed.

[bitter pier]

Isn't a takedown on purpose a DSQ from the season as a whole

[graceful linden]

That did happen to Schumi, but was kinda long ago so idk.

[gaunt cape]

oh if it's a takedown he's defo getting dsq'd schumi got dsq'd for a pretty well "intentional" move but was less intentional than 1994

[graceful linden]

It would be for the best if they actually race for once instead of trying to go for a kill

[gaunt cape]

it would be, but so far it was either lewis backing off or literally running eachother off track

one time lewis didn't back off got called out for attempted murder

[graceful linden]

Respect both were talking about is gone

[gaunt cape]

that's just competition m8

when stakes get high respect and friendship goes to dust

[graceful linden]

That just sucks, dislike this salty image they both have and their teams too rn.

[gaunt cape]

it's just rivalry, there has never been a sweet rivalry in f1 🗿

[graceful linden]

Not asking It to be sweet, but thinking of one or another literally trying to kill each other multiple times just aint It chief. Leave ramming to Forza players.

We were expecting a spectacular race and that was it!
Kimi: "Where? I don't know what happened at the front." 😅

Good track, was it fun?
"Makes no difference, I'm not coming back next year." and he looks so happy about it 😆

Final race for Kimi next weekend

😫

[real reef]

Final race for Honda as well

[real reef]

Oh wait, no race in the next weekend because this one is the final race

[real reef]

Uh oh

Gunther Steiner admits Haas is tight on spare parts after two heavy crashes at the Saudi Arabian GP.
➡️ Mick Schumacher spun at high speed and went into the wall at Turn 22, which caused the first red flag of the race. While on the restart, Nikita Mazepin hit the rear of George Russell badly as they tried to avoid Sergio Perez.
➡️ Mazepin's chassis was damaged beyond immediate repair and will have to be replaced again in Abu Dhabi. The Russian already had to change the chassis in Qatar after sustaining damage from running over the kerbs.
🎙️ Steiner: "It's better the damage is done now than five races ago," - "We have got one race to go, we've got enough spares to rebuild the cars, but we don't have enough spares if we have accidents in Abu Dhabi."
🎙️ "We still have got some, we're not completely out. But there is not a lot of margin, because we didn't expect at the second last race to destroy two cars. It's never good to do this."

Gen Z humour never ceases to amaze me

Slightly alarming, it appears that the vicious kerbs from Losail have also been added to the Yas Marina Circuit after the recent renovations. 😬

[topaz pivot]

ahah

[tidal finch]

That's extra sad imo

[graceful linden]

This whole memes aura about It is a little weird. In his prime Kimi was one of the fastest drivers to ever enter F1, with some of the most dominant drives in McLaren era especially (too bad these cars had no concept of reliability), but will be remembered by many for "haha funni" moments first.

[crude verge]

kimi was a legend in both formal speech and a friking insane driver

[real reef]

probably because the funny side happened in nowadays and few years ago

[fossil sun]

Ferraris last champion btw

[graceful linden]

Thinking back to It, man raced in the most title stacked era, with Schumacher, Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton all alongside him on the grid at one point.

If a guy of his speed would appear at a more fortunate timing he'd be showered in titles himself. Possibly the best of one time champions.

[meager granite]

Thank you.

[topaz pivot]

what happened to kimi is the same that happened to kubika, an unfortunate series of events preventing them to succeed when they should have
makes me sad to see both without more than what they had at the end

[wet bear]

Kimi was so good he almost made his team go out of business

[topaz pivot]

don't Lotus still owes him money btw ?

[wet bear]

Ye but he let go of the whole thing iirc

[meager granite]

50’000$ for each point 🗿

[graceful linden]

Lotus in the beginning: hehe boi we got a champion for so cheap with this points deal
Lotus after Kimi became a regular podium contender:

Fr they should've thought this through before agreeing, like ye the car wasn't all that but it's kimi and the guy definitely knows how to race so they really should've thought about it twice

[graceful linden]

That was not very necessary to point out tbh since anyone in F1 still remembers Schumi dsq lmao.

[wet bear]

What year was that

[graceful linden]

1997
Both current title contenders had basically this to say about It: "We read the rules, changes nothing, thanks lmao"

[obsidian path]

Bruh my heart is going Nuts that's how nervous im

[brisk frost]

Im most nervous for the start

[obsidian path]

[humble bay]

Lewis pls have bottas Monaco luck 🙏

[final kestrel]

Honestly I just want both Hamilton and Verstappen to crash in the first corner

[graceful linden]

Only 2 people risking to pick Hards, interesting.

[brisk frost]

Get it over with, i like your thinking

[graceful linden]

It would take a disaster for them to collide so quick, the runup isn't huge.

[bitter pier]

Gotta make Verstappens tyres reach 1 degree Kelvin first

[topaz pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/ansiedade-more-nervous-drink-gif-17931082

let's go
see ya in 2 hours

[brisk frost]

Lmao

[graceful linden]

Loko pls.

[brisk frost]

I stg

[bitter pier]

tyres too hot imo, gotta cool them down and stop global warming

[brisk frost]

🗿

[graceful linden]

Fernando kicking up smoke trying to warm Hards.

[final kestrel]

Few seconds until the pile up

[graceful linden]

Shite start for Max

[brisk frost]

Well fuck

Oh boy

Bad move

[graceful linden]

Max please, that was stupid.

[obsidian path]

Max pld

[wet bear]

LOOL

[obsidian path]

No BS again

[undone mist]

max driving like nothing to lose 😄

[graceful linden]

Should've waited until next one for easy overtake, now It's not happening.

[wet bear]

Not even 1 lap in and they touch

[graceful linden]

Lewis kept his cool and now Max is fucked if he doesn't get that DRS.

Bottas 8th

[undone mist]

no investigation needed

reminds me of that video i sent you @graceful linden 😄

[brisk frost]

Lewis gapping on harder tire

Not looking good

[graceful linden]

RB are salty, but Lewis unironically is just better in this situation.

[final kestrel]

Verstappen is already whining

[bitter pier]

If Max made that move stick though, Jesus

[graceful linden]

Well that type of shit works in games, but not IRL

[bitter pier]

Yeah too far

[humble bay]

so wait overtake off the track and not give the position back

nice one FIA

[thin ruin]

He cut so much

[undone mist]

championship determined by committee

[obsidian path]

Oh ffs stop conplaining RB

[thin ruin]

Nah this is rightful complaining

Ahead at apex and within the lines means corner is yours

[undone mist]

cars next to each other in corner, after corner one goes off and is 5 cars infront

[humble bay]

well yea

[brisk frost]

Was a big cut, but nothing will change now

[final kestrel]

He wasn't ahead at the apex

[undone mist]

too agressive move, but the decission is fucked

[graceful linden]

That pass wasn't on at all and Max pushed him off, if they would allow Max to gain back from this everyone would just divebomb the shit out of each other.

[thin ruin]

He literally was tho

[undone mist]

both in the wrong

[brisk frost]

Yeah i agree with deko

[graceful linden]

More of a Max mistake imo, he should've waited for next straight.

[thin ruin]

Its not a divebomb if you stay on track

[brisk frost]

🗿

[thin ruin]

A divebomb is a suicide action

[graceful linden]

It was a literal divebomb yes, he barely made the track with very abnormal braking and steering.

[brisk frost]

If lewis didnt take avoiding action it would have been a suicide mission

[undone mist]

?

if i didn't corner in a corner it would be a suicide mission

[graceful linden]

Also Max wasn't leaving any space to the car that was fully alongside him by the entry, Lewis had to steer right for the left corner because of It.

[thin ruin]

Either way the advantage lewis gained by just cutting was too much

[brisk frost]

They would have collided had lewis not avoided

[final kestrel]

Oof

[brisk frost]

I agree with this

[thin ruin]

Thats literally every overtake then colton, one person has to move off the line

[brisk frost]

But shouldnt be off the track

[topaz pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/verstappen-f1-formula1-jos-table-gif-24018651

the FIA is fucking incompetent

[undone mist]

when it comes to 2 champ leaders who are fighting for first, there will be always someone who gets pushed off...

[brisk frost]

Overtake should look like Seb on Lance

[undone mist]

they are literally fighting

if you think one will let the other pass cleanly....

[final kestrel]

Blame the race director 🗿

[brisk frost]

Fuck that. These are supposed to be the best drivers in the world. Its not racing if its always avoid this avoid that

[bitter pier]

That's their fault if they can't race clean

[brisk frost]

Drive off track cause someone is dive bonbing

[topaz pivot]

all of them, I don't give a damn
not consistent in their penalties, fucking everything up and then surprised when people have anger against them or mercedes

[undone mist]

[bitter pier]

Just dive bomb from 15 car lengths behind imo

Use your opponent as brakes, reject GP racing, embrace Forza

[final kestrel]

As I said, that's on the race director

And yeah Hamilton gained a big advantage by cutting the corner, but he should still be in front

[brisk frost]

^^

[undone mist]

well GG, was boring year, i guess unless pit fails we got our winner

[humble bay]

please some valtteri monaco luck anytime today

[wet bear]

Ye

[final kestrel]

Boring year, really? This is probably the least boring season in decades

[wet bear]

Max needs a miracle otherwise he's fucked

[thin ruin]

Yea its a stupid result but the year was all but boring

[bitter pier]

Max has dead tyres I assume?

[summer moss]

what were the stewards thinking

[final kestrel]

There are 46 laps left

[undone mist]

there were some highlight races yeah, but i genuenlly fell asleep in many 😄

[bitter pier]

How does it go from "amazing season, best we've had in decades" to "boring season honestly" the second Max is losing

[final kestrel]

Well I guess that just can't be avoided in F1 @undone mist

[thin ruin]

A title fight on the last race and mans says the season is boring

Homie just watch motogp then

[graceful linden]

Lando losing gears oof.

[wet bear]

Baku was my fav race this year ngl

[bitter pier]

Baku was just 🗿

Always good

[wet bear]

Mainly cuz of the restart

[undone mist]

Fair enough... my bad

[graceful linden]

The hell is with Leclerc?

[brisk frost]

Yike from leclerc

[graceful linden]

Tsunoda with race of his life.

[summer moss]

leclerc went schleep on turn 3

[thin ruin]

Merc just copying rb strat for ez victory

Zero risk

[brisk frost]

Mhm

[bitter pier]

What happened

[thin ruin]

Both boxed

[brisk frost]

Slow stop would have been the only thing that saved us

[bitter pier]

To Leclerc I mean

[thin ruin]

Leclerc just sleeping

[undone mist]

a camera in that tunnel would be cool

[brisk frost]

Keep perez out and try to slow hamilton down

Idfk

[thin ruin]

Perez on softs too tho

[brisk frost]

I know

[bitter pier]

Tyres will disintegrate by that time

[graceful linden]

Daym, Charles saved the car just barely.

[summer moss]

there are cameras bruh use them

[obsidian path]

[bitter pier]

Oh Leclerc lost it on the corner

[topaz pivot]

Your chamionship rival is being helped by some incompetent FIA race directors ?

https://tenor.com/view/bob-odenkirk-better-call-saul-pointing-gif-8557710

On air, in Jan 6

[bitter pier]

Ferrari try not to lose rear end for no reason challenge

[summer moss]

race directors smooth brain moments

[bitter pier]

What did they do now

Ferrari try not to be incompetent in pits challenge very hard

Oh it's 3.4s I thought it was 5.4

[undone mist]

I'm not the production manager ?

[topaz pivot]

Perez, embrace the traditions Yuki bring from japan, kamikaze this shit

[summer moss]

i’m saying they should use them

[brisk frost]

🗿

[graceful linden]

Lewis will just ez pass with the giant pace adv.

[brisk frost]

No one wants it to end that way

[bitter pier]

No one normal*

[brisk frost]

^

[summer moss]

pls perez, fuck up lewis’s car

[graceful linden]

Carlos holding Max off, these hards don't work on RB lmao.

[brisk frost]

Yeah

RB and max fucked

[thin ruin]

Welp. Season was interesting. See ya next year

[brisk frost]

Kind of guessed it from the moment lewis got a better start

[thin ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/see-you-tomorrow-fuck-you-gif-18911720

[bitter pier]

The start difference was 🗿

[brisk frost]

How racing should be

[thin ruin]

Perez legend

[brisk frost]

How hard is it to race like these two have all season

Im sure very hard but this is what i want to watch 🗿

[obsidian path]

[undone mist]

Perez driver of the day?

[brisk frost]

Dangerous driving my ass

Good defending

[obsidian path]

Lewis

[wet bear]

Gawd perez vs Lewis is more fun to watch than Lewis vs max

[thin ruin]

I dont think its enough but that was wild to see

[brisk frost]

Perez fucking legend

[graceful linden]

Checo that was insane

[brisk frost]

What a chad

[undone mist]

good team play

[obsidian path]

[brisk frost]

On old soft tires too

[undone mist]

"Checo is a legend" - Max

[wet bear]

Sergio turned Alonso in Hungary mode

[brisk frost]

Just wow

[undone mist]

Low key securing his seat in RB 😄

[bitter pier]

Perez God damn that was beautiful

[final kestrel]

Great driving from Perez

[bitter pier]

Not hard, just that Max and Lewis can't keep it clean when together. Whose fault that is, is up to you

[final kestrel]

Now Verstappen is losing ground again

[brisk frost]

Kinda expected

[topaz pivot]

perez woke up and finally choose violence after 20 races

[brisk frost]

He has been driving pretty well all season to be fair to him

[graceful linden]

Perez had good form ever since the summer break.

[final kestrel]

Tsunoda in 3rd

[topaz pivot]

they both have Hard tires, they both are on their 9th lap
and they are within 3s of each others

https://tenor.com/view/ansiedade-more-nervous-drink-gif-17931082

[graceful linden]

Not Checo's fault when red flags or dnfs screwed him so much. Red Bull were having less than good strats for him.

Double pits are now RB's only hope.

[bitter pier]

Lewis can just do the same 🗿

[graceful linden]

Well yeah, but getting off these hards is worth trying, plus extra pits mean extra chances for mistakes.

[brisk frost]

^

Max might have more pace on softs

[undone mist]

Flash backs to Bottas pitstops

[graceful linden]

Toto asking to warn Red Bull

[undone mist]

Both teams will try to claim other is doing something wrong

any method is a go for them

[gaunt cape]

why kimi man awwww

[final kestrel]

Raikkonen stopped apparently

[undone mist]

brake issue

[graceful linden]

Brakes stopped existing oof.

[gaunt cape]

what a way to end it damn...

[bitter pier]

Kiwi :(

[gaunt cape]

rip

[undone mist]

Legend of his time, not the way to end

[graceful linden]

George's car dead too

[obsidian path]

Kimi noooo

[bitter pier]

What is brake by wire

[gaunt cape]

rear brakes are not activated from hydraulic pressure, it's operated by electrics emulating the hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal

only fronts are operated hydraulically

[bitter pier]

What's the benefit to it

[gaunt cape]

not having a hydraulic pipe go down the whole car to the rear

[bitter pier]

Ah yes

Makes sense

[real reef]

Kimi's last race for Ferrari: DNF
Kimi's last race in F1: DNF

[bitter pier]

2 DNFs and no sc sucks to be RBR

[graceful linden]

Don't think that SC would help rn.

[bitter pier]

Pit stops

[final kestrel]

Wait they're already halfway through the race

[bitter pier]

Huh

[graceful linden]

Yeah we're past halfway.

[gaunt cape]

SC helps coz free pitstop for max and lewis will not get to respond

[topaz pivot]

god spoke

[final kestrel]

It hasn't even been 50 minutes, this is like the anti Monaco

[bitter pier]

It's been 47 minutes

[gaunt cape]

if sc comes it's either lewis pitting to fend off max or max pitting to push lewis until the end

🗿 and if sc happens i can already feel the crash

[bitter pier]

Should Hamilton respond immediately if Max pits

[final kestrel]

If there's a SC both are going to pit

[gaunt cape]

max stays ahead and makes lewis fight for position

max pits it's thrown coz can't keep up pace

we saw what perez did

[bitter pier]

Can max even keep up and gain those 23s if he pits 🗿

[graceful linden]

Bottas is basically a pit down even to Perez, where pace?

[gaunt cape]

casual valtteri

[bitter pier]

My boy :(

[gaunt cape]

he's enjoying the moment

[bitter pier]

Last time he'll be driving decent cars 🗿

[gaunt cape]

he did a hell of a job

[undone mist]

he just practicing how it feels to not be in a good car

[gaunt cape]

5 years, 100% q3 presence and the best wingman merc could've asked for

[undone mist]

Lec can't control this car it seems

[final kestrel]

Verstappen just can't catch up

[gaunt cape]

SC needed

[graceful linden]

Call HAAS

[gaunt cape]

max is out of undercut window as well merc can just respond unless sc

and if it's sc i guess they just pit lewis

[undone mist]

the one to call is sick

[gaunt cape]

at this pace every1 is getting lapped except top 3

[graceful linden]

He wasn't even near being the one to crash the most this year bruh.

[gaunt cape]

leclerc crashed more than mazepin lmao

[graceful linden]

Guess Bottas' engine farm couldn't give another good engine, his top end is abysmal.

[undone mist]

yeah but you still reduce chances by taking 1 of the 2 cars out of the equation

[gaunt cape]

wcc is kinda sealed at this point

bottas just has to avoid creating a sc

[graceful linden]

Merc wrapping up an entire era all to themselves

[gaunt cape]

helmet cam is insane tbh

[graceful linden]

Yep, great view.

[gaunt cape]

bottASS

sauna moment

oh no here we go

[undone mist]

Gio problem

[topaz pivot]

Gasly, execute order 44

[graceful linden]

Giovinazzi ded. So 3 sad goodbyes this race wtf.

[undone mist]

VSC?

[gaunt cape]

vsc should be

[thin ruin]

Rip alfas

[gaunt cape]

rip alfas man

[graceful linden]

Now It's Bottas' time to retire out of the bois leaving teams

[thin ruin]

Last race for both and they dont even see the finish

[gaunt cape]

maxs chance

[graceful linden]

Both leaders have a chance to pit.

[undone mist]

ham staying out 🤔

[gaunt cape]

well

[graceful linden]

RB whipping out another Hard set.

[gaunt cape]

we got a race until the end

1s a lap and it's gg

[graceful linden]

HAAS locking up under VSC

[thin ruin]

Toto bruh

[gaunt cape]

wait if htey keep vsc out ham pits

[graceful linden]

Red Bull using ALL the HARDS.

TOTOOOOOO noooooo, straight up asking race direction to not SC

[final kestrel]

LMAO TOTO

[undone mist]

Love to hear the radio but like... they should stop chatting with massi

[gaunt cape]

merc threw lmao

gg for max

[wet bear]

Toto: bor we winning keep it that way pld

[graceful linden]

Lewis already salty about It.

[gaunt cape]

they should've pitted under vsc even if it was ending

[graceful linden]

Mercedes you had a clear chance to match, why not?

[gaunt cape]

yep

they threw it lmao

[bitter pier]

Literally lost the title now

[undone mist]

I see i spoke too early in the start

[wet bear]

Same

[graceful linden]

This is either theatrics or just brainfarting from Mercedes.

[gaunt cape]

so are they gonna crash again i wonder

[undone mist]

and clearly out of my ass when saying it is boring

[gaunt cape]

longest 18 laps of our lives

and the worst last 3 laps ever incoming

[humble bay]

oh boi

might as well just stay glued to screen at this point

[graceful linden]

I really don't get why Mercedes are the ones going for risky strats here, Lewis was in CONTROL of the entire race.

[thin ruin]

Alonso divebomb

Nowhere near making that corner lol

[gaunt cape]

they had enough time to pit under vsc ending

[graceful linden]

Yeah they were safe even under the ending.

[gaunt cape]

massive blunder

well let's see if they crash or not

[thin ruin]

Well see how it plays out

So far max isnt on 1s per lap so its not yet decided

[gaunt cape]

it's well on that man

also lewis's tyres will fall of at the end

while verstappen can push hard

[thin ruin]

Yup, and max will have to still actually go past ham

[gaunt cape]

well he can just crash

[thin ruin]

That aint easy either

[gaunt cape]

if he catches

[thin ruin]

Nah thats point deduction, masi was clear on that

And any crash will not be decided to favour max i can already feel it lol

[graceful linden]

Crashing won't win you a title this time.

[bitter pier]

Schumacher moment

[gaunt cape]

it might

coz lewis has to do the decisive move

while defending

i'm really scared now

the integrity of the sport will depend on the last 3-4 laps

[obsidian path]

Bro 1994 VS Hill

[graceful linden]

Lewis' pace isn't bad rn tbh.

[gaunt cape]

bro yeet

max cannot use all the battery tho

he will need recharge before pushing into drs

[thin ruin]

Most likely on balanced deployment rn

[bitter pier]

Hamilton's only hope is Max yeeting those tyres into oblivion

[graceful linden]

Mercs gotta be thankful for a driver who can preserve tires so well.

[gaunt cape]

ham has to keep consistent under 27s

also true deko

[thin ruin]

Other way round too sd02

[bitter pier]

Ues

[gaunt cape]

traffic incoming

max cmon you have to start pushing god damnit

he'll need 1s per lap now cmon

[graceful linden]

Red Bull can't make hards work

[gaunt cape]

masi boutta die from phonecalls about blue flags

[final kestrel]

Verstappen is losing time

[obsidian path]

[graceful linden]

Leclerc about to drop 2 spots in driver's standings.

[gaunt cape]

they are voting raikonnen as dotd

good

he fucking deserves it cmon

[bitter pier]

Ferrari supreme engineering, the rear is supposed to point forward at all times, yes

[gaunt cape]

now is the time for max to push

[final kestrel]

Who was that guy crying because Verstappen is behind?

[graceful linden]

No idea.

[undone mist]

[final kestrel]

11s between Hamilton and Verstappen

[gaunt cape]

Again? ffs, poor Lando.

[gaunt cape]

[bitter pier]

What lap are you on

[gaunt cape]

51 S3

[bitter pier]

50 S3 for me, sad

[graceful linden]

I'm just sad for Lando at this point, he had a great season but this ending was unlucky af.

[undone mist]

well at least there was some hope mid race

[gaunt cape]

it's not over yet

[undone mist]

trying to jinx it man

[graceful linden]

I feel like It is, Lewis seems in control.

[bitter pier]

He can always get a puncture though

Dont give up yet

[undone mist]

He could, but he also could just nurse it to the finish like he has before 😄

[bitter pier]

tbf Hamilton already won on 3 wheels 🗿

[undone mist]

Lewis not getting out of the car

[topaz crag]

LMAOOO

[graceful linden]

Guess this is one of these situations you can call bittersweet, not the way I wanted to see the season end, no actual fight for the most part and just RNG.

[bitter pier]

Lewis didnt deserve to lose this race honestly

[meager granite]

Well another thing, Kimi on DoD

[bitter pier]

should have pitted honestly

[meager granite]

JOEY WE DID IT

[graceful linden]

Yeah It was Lewis' race, Merc should've pitted 100% of the time there was a chance.

[obsidian path]

Merc took that Risk

[bitter pier]

Go out behind Max potentially, overtake and win

[humble bay]

Goatifi the decider of the championship

[bitter pier]

Hate that it was decided on RNG

[topaz pivot]

this, a thousand times this

[thin ruin]

This wouldve been alright if that message of "lapped wont overtake" never showed up and they were let by immediately

[summer moss]

thanks nick

[brisk frost]

Exactly

[bitter pier]

literally

[brisk frost]

Exactly what i said

Cause that is normal protocol

[bitter pier]

Michael I stg you will never stop being a joke

[graceful linden]

They clowned on themselves by first telling NO and then suddenly changing mind, yeah.

[topaz crag]

8 titles wtf

[undone mist]

everyone waiting for interviews

[bitter pier]

Wait only the cars inbetween Max and Lewis were allowed to overtake?

What a yoke

[final kestrel]

What a yoke

[graceful linden]

Yeah, this partial letting by last moment was weird.

[undone mist]

yeah... i mean all were allowed but they ended the SC so no others could

[final kestrel]

Good to see Hamilton isn't mad at Verstappen for this

[thin ruin]

Max showing some checo love

[bitter pier]

no, it said only those could

[undone mist]

oh?

[bitter pier]

yeah

[brisk frost]

I mean it wasnt max’s fault so you cant be really

[brisk frost]

All were allowed but SC ended

[bitter pier]

Would have preferred a red flag and 3 laps of racing and not this joke

[brisk frost]

[undone mist]

The directors are a joke, the drivers just doing what they can with what they have

[brisk frost]

^

[bitter pier]

Race control only said those 5 could iirc

[undone mist]

can't blame lewis can't blame max

[final kestrel]

I mean, if it was someone else it could have been different

[graceful linden]

They gave specific numbers of cars which were allowed to overtake, is there even a rule for that? Lmao

[brisk frost]

No, they just said lapped cars

[thin ruin]

Wicked season

[bitter pier]

Good season but what a joke it has been

[undone mist]

Sains sneaking a podium tho

[graceful linden]

Happy to see Carlos do well

[thin ruin]

Yea big applause for lewis, drove his heart out

[bitter pier]

inb4 Mercedes try their hardest to penalize max for something

[thin ruin]

They will

[brisk frost]

[thin ruin]

But no way theyre gonna take it away tomorrow

[real reef]

Mick Schumacher gave Latifi damage and found a way to save his father's championship record.

[thin ruin]

The absolute fools they would make out of themselves

[undone mist]

Glad that Lewis is still calm in the interview

[thin ruin]

Yea lewis is a gent

[bitter pier]

the only thing they could have done to make this crash not end as a joke was to red flag and give us 3-5 laps of racing. That would have been amazing

[undone mist]

[wet bear]

[thin ruin]
