Sigh, Yuki. That prob would’ve been best finish for AT. Both Top 10. And now he’s down in 16.
That would’ve been driver of the day for me too. From 19th to 8th in the first half of the race. He needs to make fewer mistakes like these. Then again, I guess he hasn’t had much experience with a car that can overtake others.
Admittedly, he did get lucky with the red flag. Free pit stop from old hards to new.
Ferrari comms: Stay out. We don’t see anything big.
end plate breaks off immediately
Actual Kings of comedy in ferrari
To be fair, Leclerc has been having more speed without the endplate!
Ye, the should have removed the front wing entirely for weight gains 😃
Perez playing the short game.
Perez forgot he’s driving a real race and not a F1 23 multiplayer race.
Turned right into the side of a Ferrari…
Bruh, the Redbull mechanics were looking at perez as if they knew the dude is out lmfao
That was my feeling too. “Get out, you’re blocking our view of the screen”.
Did we just witness the return of question, question?
I am not sure, do you think so, question?
Seems like it. If they got a chance to win, they want to blame the drivers for potential strategy mistakes.
Stop inventing, stop inventing
♪ RETURN OF THE MARIACHI THEME! ♪
Best version of the F1 theme.
YUKI NOOOOOOOO GOD DAMNIT
He needs to make fewer mistakes. He had such an incredible recovery until then, probably would’ve been right behind Ricciardo. I guess he doesn’t really have enough experience overtaking other cars given how crap his car has been until this race.
He should have been more patient I suppose. But thats easy for me to say, im crap at sim racing
What happened? :(
He did a Perez :(
I’m really surprised at how well the mediums are holding on.
Lap 69 and HAM is increasing the gap to the hard LEC behind him.
Ferrari was managing heat as I understand. A lot of lift and coast for them. But the mediums were great still, ham got FL at the end 😲
Checo is losing me. I don’t know if I can keep doing this. Get your shit together man
I think today was the day he blew it with Red Bull.
And Danny Ric’s performance just makes it even worse for him. At this point I would be amazed if Checo is in a Red Bull (F1 car) next year
RB dont need someone to win races, they just need someone who can qualify well, not make stupid mistakes and finish 2nd-3rd behind Max
Yep. I think that’s right on point. And if Danny podiums today, I think he’s in the second RB seat next year.
Even if he doesn’t get on the podium he’ll still be finishing 71 laps ahead of Perez. That counts, too.
Prediction, Danny Ric on podium after ferrari puts leclerc on used softs
Stop it, you’re getting my hopes up!
Nah, he’ll think he’s back in 2018 and crash into Verstappen. Or at least that seems more likely than Ric finishing in the top 3. A top 10 finish should be doable though.
That Horner/Checo chat needs a caption competition
“So, Checo, how would you rate your performance today?”
"No Checo, it’s alright. You’ll still get to drive the AT next year "
That was some F1 23 level shit there Checo.
Absolute masterclass by Norris holy fucking shit
I am happy for Danny. What a great race. Lets go!
Charles post-race interview: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, that wasn’t my fault with Checo! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Don’t hurt me!!”
