Lewis and Max first row! Pierre in Red Bull. Lando and Sebastian last row?!
Look at that, they’re racing in the rain. Albeit, starting under safety car
“Safety car needs to come in already. Come on let’s go” Lewis’ beef against the safety car will never not be funny
They’ve done like three formation laps or as they’re calling it: “exploration laps”
“How are conditions Max?” “Yeah, perfect to go, I don’t understand why we are not racing”
Lewis 🤝 Max: wanting to go race
Haha all of the cars glitched for a second before the start
And now Max has somehow dropped five places, wth
Sebastian too, making up many places! P20 to p14!
Kevin and Checo squabbling…Checo’s in the wall
This is giving Brazil 2016 with the multiple safety cars
(Try not to compare every wet race to Brazil 2016 challenge failed)
Sebastian and Alex falling back to p18 and p19 after stopping for tires
Almost every driver pitting now
Holy shit Kevin is p2 (That’s a rare sight to see)
All of those pit stops shuffled up the lineup so much. Lance is p5, Nico p7, George p9!
I don’t think the Williams pit because they’re somehow both in the points
Sebastian finally in the points
Aah Charles, Kevin, and Nico fighting for p4
Pierre running wide! he’s fallen to p19 :((
Kimi’s still as formidable as ever in that Alpha Romeo
“Raikkonen turned a threat into an opportunity” yesss Kimi!
“The three at the front are traveling much faster than anyone else”
Aw I forgot this was Nico’s home race too
Engine problem for Daniel :/
Another safety car? Virtual safety car?
“Just be patient Max” GP has got to be the calmest man ever
“So you are the fastest car on track” Let’s go Charles!
Carlos slipping off the track??
“Sorry guys, that was unfortunate” Yeah, top ten to p14
“Leclerc is now 7 laps off leading this race” Oh?? Are we about to get Max vs Charles??
Ferrari trying a gamble with Sebastian’s tires
“They’re in the clouds of the gods now” Sometimes these commentators go unnecessarily hard
Red Bull playing a gamble too
“Lando Norris power slide out of the pit” That looked very cool actually
Max doing an involuntary donut. I’m not sure if that gamble played off
Oh shit Lando’s lost power. VSC once again
Charles p2! At least one driver’s strategies are somewhat working
Ohmygodd he’s out!! I actually gasped out loud! That was so unexpected!!!
The actual safety car is back
Ohmygod this is all so chaotic!
Lewis almost went into the wall and damaged his front wing!
The pit crew weren’t ready for him!! They’re scrambling! He’s lost so many places!!
This is still lap 30 of 64. We’re not even halfway through
Valterri pitting as well, Max leading now
Nico p2 at his home race😭 (I’m going to cry when he loses that) (What do I have to do for him to just stay there???)
I can’t believe Lewis got a 5s time penalty for going on the “wrong side of the bollard at the pit entry”
How does that even make sense? It’s not like it affected any other car but his
Alex though! In p4, holding Lewis back in that Toro Rosso
??? Lewis under investigation again???
Valterriiiii stay away from Hulkenburggggg
Can’t even hope for p3 now because it’s Lewis who’s behind him
At this point let him just finish the race please
“Rare to see Kimi Raikkonen making a mistake” Yes, it was devastating (at least he recovered still in the points)
Someone kill me, Nico’s out
“That’s so terrible for him! I was just about to say what a phenomenal run he’s having. He would so have deserved to finally maybe have a chance even for a podium because we still don’t know what penalties Lewis is gonna have. Ohmygod, that’s heartbreaking. Poor guy” Me and Nico Roseberg commiserating together
“I’m still looking forward to Lewis coming up to Bottas now though. That’s going to really really cause internal team battle there; coming up” And Nico R is now hoping for inter-team drama. He moved on pretty fast. I’m still here (crying over Hulkenburg and his dream slipping away right through his fingers)
“Right call, right tire, right time” Max: the only one carrying me through this race now
“Nico Hulkenburg never retired from his home race at the German Grand Prix before” Why must they keep rubbing it in??
“Verstappen’s pitted 4 times in this race so far” This race is actually insane
I’m actually still sad about Nico. He was so close! God, why does he have such bad luck!
None of these commentators talking about how Alex casually made up 12 places and has stayed in p4?? In a Toro Rosso?!
Ohmygod I should just shut up, why’d he loose a place…two places…and he’s gone wide and dropped down to p8; someone kill me.
Where did Sebastian randomly gain speed from? Ohmygodd Kimi too? They’re p3 and p2?! What is going on???
Somehow Lance is in p5 all the way from p15. I did not see that coming. He was the only car who pit for slick tires with the safety car earlier and now with everyone pitting again, this has worked out great for him
Holy shit Lance is leading the race
Lewis, Kimi, and Sebastian all pit and now Lance is leading and Max is back up to p2 and somehow Daniil Kvyat is p3 and just set the fastest lap
Wet races always bring so many surprises. This is all so insane. I feel like I’ve just hallucinated half of this
I forgot about Lewis’ penalty 😭 The grid positions changed so drastically, it almost feels like it got reversed
“How has it got this bad?” Honestly Lewis I actually don’t know
Aww kinda wanted Lance to stay p2, he missed out on it so narrowly last time he was on the podium
Haha Valterri about to take p3 from him now, he’s the one who took p2 from his last time I think, if I remember correctly
Checo looking on from the pit box>>
Oh shit Valterri is out! God, Mercedes are not having a good race are they? Lewis in p14 (last) pitting again (his sixth time) and Valterri out
-his safety car probably not going to help Lance keep podium position, what with Carlos and Sebastian right behind him at the restart
“Good for the smaller teams. This is their kinda day” Don’t I know it (maybe it’s something about pink teams?)
Aah Sebastian right behind Lance now! If he makes podium now he’d have gone from p20 to p3!
Oh bloody hell, Pierre’s gone off. He’s not having a fun day either
Ohmygod Sebastian p2!!! Imagine if he wins?!!
“And you’re either wearing orange this weekend or red” yesss, the orange army going wild!!
It is so insane to me that seven cars are out
Honestly, Lance p4 is cool too, his race did not start out well (and Carlos p5 🙌)
I wish Sebastian was still racing 😢
Genuinely didn’t ever expect to see a Daniil Kyvyat podium; when I was watching the races from the past few seasons he barely finished a race
This podium is kind of a Red Bull family reunion if you think about it
(Would be better if Nico had finished the race but I’ll take my wins where I can get them)
(Also! I just looked up the race results again cause I forgot if Kimi placed 6th or 7th and he hasn’t placed either??! Apparently he got a post race penalty for some infringement!? That’s so annoying)
(Oh however, that means Lewis did end up in the points after all)
(Ohmygod, I just noticed that Fernando is not here?!?? How did I miss that when I watched Brazil 2019?!)
(I’m crashing out. I need sleep)
