Just watch Russell taking out max and Lewis taking the win.


I got 50% right

I don't think it was as bad as 1998.

They looked just as bad as 1998 imo, but it was a crazy decision to race back then as well.


No, it wasn't. They raced in Suzuka 1994 and Barcelona 1996. It wasn't deemed a crazy decision at all. Times have changed, world has gotten extremely soft since then and F1 along with it.

Just pretend they ran then. Ffs

It was, they really were lucky none of the rear-enders sent a car flying.

I don't know, camera today can trick us all to believe is clearer than it really is

I guess only being there to see if they could race

This isn't just an anti-climax, it's going all the way into giving us the finger back. Holy fuck the more I think about it the more pissed off I get

They still did it, and they got all 44 laps in as well.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Drivers can’t influence the weather. Glad they didn’t take it out on them

Damn, so if Norris hadn't binned in Q3, he'd have been the next F1 winner, as he was the fastest in qualifying up until that point and had a very good shot at pole (and as it turns out the win today).

Ok, Goerge, you can fucking have it mate. Podium is yours and I like your joy. But just you

You won't get a refund, because there has been a race

If you can’t, at the very least, accommodate delaying your event by a SINGLE DAY due to weather conditions, something is deeply, fundamentally wrong with your organization. I don’t blame them for not racing today. But they’ve written themselves into an inexcusably stupid situation to begin with.

And we got a massive pile up where we were lucky no one got badly injured.

We nearly got an aeroplane crash between Fisi and Nakano and he could have ended up in the trees.
But yes it was fine and could have been okay today, but you could have ended with bad things. Motorsport is dangerous I know, but if you can make a choice, you make a choice that doesn't involve this much risk.

Best thing is Russell fans can never say the guy has no luck ever again. Today's podium should silence everyone who says it's always bad luck for poor Georgie!

If my math is right both Lewis and max get half point. If no other half point gets awarded this season we’ll have the 3rd world champion with half a point

Even back then, Rubens and Ginacarlo scolded the race direction for not using the safety car at the start and when visibility went down to literally zero. Villeneuve lost it on the kemmel straight and they didn't even throw a double yellow.

Crazy times
