F1 70th Anniversary 2020

Watched this race almost a month ago but forgot to post this until now

The history of this race showing so many Williams winners, like where did all that glory go ?

Nico p3?!???!????!

“Kimi Raikkonen slowest qualifier again” That just sounds wrong

“Looking for a podium in formula 1, could it happen today?” They say things like this and I start feeling hopeful before remembering the horrible fact I learnt about him never achieving a podium (I’m just going to sit here and pray he finishes the race)

Also where is Checo?

The inner conflict I have to deal with because Max went up a place but that meant Nico went down a place

The Mercedes took off so fast, the camera following them showed none of the other cars behind for like ten seconds

“Sebastian Vettel racing former teammate Kimi Raikkonen at the moment” Whaaat, but Kimi’s p20?!

“Why does he keep spinning?” Better question, what did Ferrari do to his car?

So cool watching Charles and Carlos fighting it out

“Those two will be teammates of course next year”

Alex pitting lap 7? Are new tires worth falling to p20?

2020! The year of radio subtitles!!

“Mate this is the only chance of being close to the Mercedes, I’m not just sitting here like a grandma” Iconic!!

“Have I mentioned this before? Thank goodness for Max Verstappen” And then a year later, they’ll switch up

McLaren actually having a good pit stop strategy?

Just realized that Ocon took Nico’s seat at Renault so that Nico could take the “Racing Point” seat because Checo is…where?

Incoming Lewis vs Charles…and, that was fairly easy for Lewis

The Albon vs Gasly is giving Perez vs Lawson (just with less drama)

What is with Red Bull making things tense between their drivers?

Charles on Lando!!

Tire blisters must be such nightmares

Need Nico to overtake Carlos here

“Verstappen is the real threat here if he’s one-stopping”

“My tires feel good mate. It’s all good” Fingers crossed they stay that way

Oh nvm, Nico didn’t need to go past Carlos, he hadn’t pit yet

“If you’re Nico Hulkenburg, you’re going to be thinking, if Mercedes is starting to go out like this, I might be on to a first ever podium” Stop 😭

“Red Bull have not had a win here in Silverstone since 2012: Mark “Not Bad for a No.2 Drive“ Webber"

Max finally pitting lap 27

Aaah who cares if the pit stop was slow and cost him the chance to get back out in the lead?! That overtake on Valterri was so smooth!!

“He must have less pressure in the tires or something” lol

Just saw my first, Kevin being a terror on track. “That’s a bit bumper cars there”. That was hilarious

“I’ll hang in there, but you know that you messed up” What is going on with Seb and Ferrari

“Forget the tire management. As fast as you can, within the limits of the tire obviously” “So basically we’re just gonna fully send it” Haha, he sounds so giddy

“Someone’s had a problem, it’s the-“ Thought it was Nico and almost died

Max and Valterri pitting at the same time

How the hell did Charles make it to p4? Oh never-mind he still has to come in

“Do they [Lewis and Mercedes] think they can leave him out for the rest of the race?” That would be such a gamble

Alex doing so many overtakes this race

Charles still not pitting and the commentators speculating his chances of the podium- he really is him

With Lewis pitting and if Charles really is going to the end, he actually really might make it to the podium

“I said Leclerc would be easy meat, but Lewis is vegan of course- it’ll be an easy overtake for him” That’s- *smh*

Nico pitting?? Come on?! Whyy? That’s lost him two places

“Free to race. Just give each other space” Oooooh

Max getting fired up as soon as he hears that Lewis is on fresher tires. He just knew who his real competition was from the beginning.

“GP, did you hydrate during the race?” Max you menace!

“Charles Leclerc, he managed the one stop strategy and once again outperformed that car” Let’s go baby!!!

“There was nothing second best about Max Verstappen today!”

They all keep talking about sanitizing and bubbles; it didn’t hit me until a second ago that Covid happened in 2020. How have four years passed since then??

“And this guy, is the star of the future” He really is

Ooh he’s second in the championship, how cool

Lewis and Max bumping elbows. I truly forgot about the idiosyncrasies that Covid brought

What a time

Checo Pérez be like

Racing enthusiast

The only good thing the pandemic brought me was the unconditional love for F1. I never really watched it. It never really bothered me. Racing multiple rounds in fast cars that make a lot of noise (I am that person that puts her fingers in her ears when she hears loud noises like fireworks). Why would that be interesting?

As a Dutchie I was aware of the existence of Max Verstappen - of course. The Netherlands is such a small country and has a thing for hyping up talented sportsmen and sportswomen. 

But then, all of a sudden, in Summer 2020, I was bored. My dad was watching the first Silverstone race. I don’t really know why, because I had never seen him doing that before. It was the race Lewis won on three tyres. I remember tuning in to see the last rounds. I remember Max wanting to give it a go to try and get Lewis, even though it was impossible. Lewis - the mighty GOAT - was miles ahead and his skills proved why he is such a succesfull driver. 

It was interesting. It was exciting. It was even a bit nerve wrecking. It made me want to learn more about this sport.

And so, a racing enthusiast was born.

I love that no matter which driver each one supports we are all proud of George making it to Q2 once again.
