Max talking about 2018 Austria: uhh... but to be honest with you, I don't really remember much of it [laughs]

Austria 2018
Shortest circuit of the season
Mercedes have won here since 2014! And have a front row lockout again!
Championship battle between Seb and Lewis again
Very random but the graphics are better this season
Ooh Valterri has pole!
Oh? Daniel’s 29th birthday? Nice!
Carlos is in Renault!
Pfft apparently Ocon and Gasly are already clashing (they’re not even on the same team yet)
Charles Leclerc is here this season!!!
I’m looking forward to seeing his old races
Fernando starting from the pit lane (Maybe I’ll actually see someone start from there this time)
“Lance Stroll who is a traditionally very fast starter” Is it the Aston Martin that sucks then?
“Only 2 drivers have ever won a Grand Prix on their birthday” who??
George Russell!!!!
Ohmygod Kimi had such a good start and then he lost it!!
Both the Ferraris going wide
Can I root for Nico having a good race this time or is that a lost cause?
Charles going up 3 places 👏👏
Oh no he went wide! He’s p19 now! (I may have jinxed him 🫣)
Toto’s reactions are so emphatic
Not me focusing more on Charles moving from p19 to p17 than focusing on whatever is happening out in the front
“Nico Hulkenburg in trouble I think there” NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! JUST WHY!
I hate this Renault
Sigh, at least let Sainz pick up a point or two
Oh no! Valterri retiring too??
I’m sensing that the cars did not in fact get better in 2018
Stacking pit stops for one team looks very cool
Yay Sainz in points
New season and still no radio subtitles, the disappointment is real
Ricciardo p3!! Red Bull 2-3!!
Kimi locked up so many times this race
The Williams and Sauber look so similar
Fred Vasseur is Sauber’s team principal? No wonder Charles works well with him now, he basically debuted under him
Lewis running out of power too?
Just learnt about blistering in real time. Really wish I didn’t learn about that through Daniel Ricciardo’s tires
Sainz has dropped to p17, my curse on Renault worked a little too well (It was supposed to avoid you Carlos, I’m sorry)
I’m going to be so sad if Daniel loses p2 on his birthday
Big sigh
That was a smooth overtake by Vettel on Hamilton
Ferrari 2-3 now
James Vowles: “Lewis, sorry. I have thrown away the win today but you can still go back up there, I believe in you”
If I was Lewis I would so curse the man out
Oh come on, let the Ferraris race
I’m going to be so annoyed if the team just makes them swap positions without letting them fight
“What about Max Verstappen?” “Is he still in the race?” lol as he leads 7 seconds ahead
Oh Charles in p13
p12
“I’m feeling good so don’t worry” At least Max is having a good day
Haas is having a good day too, which is really weird to say, but I hope they have a good day at COTA 2024 too
Oh for god’s sake, Red Bull was supposed to have a better car this season, why is Daniel out rn, on his birthday too
At least Charles is in the points now
“We are not okay, we are not okay” I see the Toro Rosso has not improved at all
From a Mercedes 1-2 to a Red Bull 1-2. If Ferrari manage to overtake Max, it would be a Ferrari 1-2.
That would be a crazy race run
“Unless, if the two Ferraris and Red Bull blow their tires up now, Hamilton might still have a chance here” Now that’s a tall order
Nice move there from Checo
Woah cars up to p5 have been lapped
Oh no Charles out of the points again
* gasp * Lewis actually lost power! No way!
Who put a curse on the Mercedes this race??
My only consolation, once again, is that this means Charles is back in the points
p9!
“They’re looking maybe for some divine inspiration to help Max Verstappen to win the race here” yes me too
“I think he should keep that rear tire if he wins this Grand Prix, make a coffee table out of it”
“Kiss it for good luck maybe”
Oh these guys think they’re so funny
One more lap, ohmygod this is stressful, I can’t believe I’m worrying about tires, what has life come to
Come on come on come on
Let’s go Max!!!!!
“Aah this is amazing, in front of all those fans, in the Red Bull ring, with a Red Bull” yesss let’s go!
Aww the mechanics just pulling him into a group hug
“Your fourth Red Bull victory. It felt like your first now with Kimi Raikkonen chasing you down till the last lap” That’s such a good call back
The last time Mercedes had a double mechanical retirement was in 1955- that’s crazy. They really did get cursed.
They’re all so cute on the podium
Adorable fr
