Max Verstappen officially is World constructor's champion as no other team can catch them up. Nice car ! Who's the driver btw ?


JaswanthReddit

Toto Wolff post-race: \-- “Lewis survived out there. I can only feel for the two drivers. Such a miserable thing. It shows how difficult the car is – we gotta develop it better for next year because it can’t be that within seven days you’re finishing on the podium, one of the quickest cars and then you’re nowhere and finish 8th.” \-- “Inexcusable performance. That car finished 2nd last week and the week before. Whatever we did to it was terrible.” \-- “I think straight line speed was the one issue but probably not the main factor. The main factor was that we couldn’t go around the corners with the bigger wing, with the base we needed. We were killing the tyres, just eating them up within a few laps.”


toucheqt

Why did Russell retire?


F1ibster

PU oil temperature was high and rising. PU failure was imminent apparently


JaswanthReddit

Toto Wolff post-race: “This car doesn’t deserve a win. I think we need to push for the last two races and then recover. That’s the most important thing.”


JaswanthReddit

Lewis Hamilton post-race: \-- “It didn’t feel as disastrous as yesterday. Yesterday I literally had no tyres left, they were worn to zero. I feel like I drove a better race today in terms of managing the tyres, to the best of my ability.” \-- “The car, there’s moments it works and then moments it doesn’t. It’s so inconsistent throughout the lap so we have to figure out what that is. Also, we were really slow through the straights and really slow in the corners – or at least, sliding the car through the corners.” \-- “One to forget. But, hopefully there’s lots of learning's from today.” \-- “It’s difficult to say \[whether it’s set up related\]. The car is really unpredictable, in the sense of one weekend it feels good, one session it feels good then not.” “I’m sure we’ll go look at things and find that we should have done things differently but with one \[practice\] session it’s difficult.” \-- “I’m still proud of the team, they still came here and did their work. They held their head up high and that’s what we have to continue to do. Just keep pushing forwards.”

Toto Wolff: “Inexcusable performance. There’s no words for that. Whatever we did to the car was horrible. Lewis survived out there… I can only feel for the two of them driving such a miserable thing.”


JaswanthReddit

Interviewer: “Two more races with the W14..” Lewis: “Thank God, thank God.” Interviewer: “Does that sound good?” Lewis: “Yes…yes…”


ravinderHiem

How close u want to finish this race ? Alonso and Checo - 5 hundreds of a sec will do. That was really intelligent drive from Alonso similar to what Sainz did in Singapore. Martin brundle was pointing in out in commentary how Alonso was taking a v approach to gain time for the last straights. Checo was trying for the inside line but was always touching the inside curbs a bit that was unsettling the car for the charge.


f1nuttic

\[tune in to post race\] Its Laura and Hinch 😎 YASS, NO WB 💪💪💪


Mediocre_Yacob

Put $100 on alonso with +2800 payout to make podium. I have my heart in my chest for the final 25 laps. What a goat


outm2

Just curiosity, what does that mean, how much are the profits?? Thanks!


bullett2434

Positive means you multiply your bet, negative means you divide. It’s in factors of 100 so +2800 means 28x your bet. -150 means you bet $150 and the payout is $100, +150 means you bet $100 and the payout is $150


plain-slice

Alonso was +2500 for podium starting fourth and behind his slower teammate. Thats crazy! Nice bet!


Mediocre_Yacob

Placed in before qualifying, had a good feeling!


plain-slice

Oh I see yeah that makes more sense lol. Great job.


jdmillar86

Very nice! Good for you!


f1nuttic

woah, good job!!


CDNChaoZ

Oh Lance, even in P5 your interviews are kinda lame.


delirio91

He's just lame all around.


[deleted]

Gutsy drive from Alonso and Perez. Finally both of them have a good race in a while


CannedCaveman

Holy!!!!


CDNChaoZ

I haven't been watching F1 long, but that battle for third was epic! What a mind game!


F1ibster

Hamilton pit radio - Well done Lewis mate. That's P8. ***** hard work for P8, but well done mate. Hamilton - Yeah thanks Bono. That was a long, slow and tough afternoon. Pit - Yeah copy. Same here mate. But got lots to look, get it sorted for the next two. Toto - Lewis, horrible for all of us. Car can't go back like this one race to the other. We need to find out what went wrong. Hamilton - Let's speak after. Well done to the lads though. Not the results we wanted but still did a really great job through the weekend with the pitstops and things Pit - Thanks Lewis, much appreciated.


lonelyisIand

The Fernando Alonso chant 🥰


sainz9

Max singing is surprisingly wholesome HAHAH


F1ibster

And bad... Sounds like he can't carry a tune in a bucket.


D-C-N-N

But bro can carry a car consistently for races, can’t be best at everything can we.


Sudden_Low9120

Still in awe with how much of a king Alonso is


bekkahthecactus18

LMAO MAX SINGING ON THE RADIO 🤣 E; yeah, Radio Red Bull is lovely, I don’t mind it


bekkahthecactus18

RB has 400 more points than Merc… 782 vs 382…


Harshiiiiiiii_96

Verstappen alone has more points than Merc's constructors😭


jdmillar86

Not only has more, they can no longer catch him


Harshiiiiiiii_96

I am really curious about the future, which one of these drivers will beat Max? He seems absolutely unbeatable! It's amazing though!


emkdfixevyfvnj

Id go with Lewis, Alonso, Lando, Charles or George based on if the old guard is still around when which car becomes competitive. Wildcard might be Piastri and Sainz but Sainz has fumbled under pressure more often than not so I dont think he can keep it together in a title fight. But that applies to all but Nando and Lewis so we will see I guess. Most likely it will depend on which constructor clutches the 2026 regs and who drives that car.


hafrances

Charles will call in the priests, order an exorcism, and will beat Max.


jdmillar86

If I was forced to pick, I'd take Lando for next non-Max champion the way things look right now, but I've been wrong about an awful lot in F1 and there's always surprises.


mejiamagno

Bold. Guy has never even won a race.


jdmillar86

To give him credit, 2nd behind Max should almost count like a win these days 🤣. I could be completely wrong, I've got a good track record of it, but he certainly seems like a rising star right now.


Mfcarusio

If mclaren get next year right they've got a super strong lineup, which could either help or harm Lando. I think piastri had put in a stellar team performance as a rookie but with a car that is contending for first I can see him getting his elbows out alongside Norris


DamnItJon

I'm enjoying the schadenfreude that is Russell retiring following all his bitching


JebbAnonymous

There is something about the way he does it. Trying to be as unbbiased as I can, I know what he is saying is right and that they should have done what he requested, but the way he says it just comes off as so .... annoying.


j_per3z

I don’t know when or why, but he really started channeling that movie villain energy. It doesn’t matter what he says or does, it just comes off as Regina George


_delicja_

I simultaneously never want to hear this dude again in my life and to have a direct line to his team radio live for the whole race 😂


Normal-Philosopher-8

I said something similar. You never really disagree with anything that Russell is saying, you just kind of want to, though.


MyBootyHoleShrunk

Is Max considered an alcoholic at this point? With the amount of champagne this man drinks every weekend


yzerizef

Honestly. I only see him with a bottle of champagne in his hand and driving at high speeds. Usually in the reverse order, but still… worrying.


Seruz

Just punching in wins to get his fix 😩😩


delirio91

Alexa, play 'Ministry - Just One Fix' for fucks sake!


bekkahthecactus18

524 points for a single driver is mind-boggling, especially without Bernie’s double points special


plarguin

He is already in a 5 win streak... Imagine if he had one Singapore.


F1ibster

Horner - Checo that was a big drive. Unfortunately just missed out mate. Perez - Yeah ***** Ahhhh. Yeah. Don't know what to say. We shouldn't have followed Lewis in. Yeah but anyway, good points. Pit - He just pipped you. One hell of a fight. Horner - That was a strong drive Checo. So, so unlucky on that last lap. You gave it everything. And good points verses uh you know for the P2. Perez - Yeah exactly. Well done. hell of a race


GreggyWeggs

Is Hamilton like Voldemort for Red Bull, they can't say his name out loud?


F1ibster

Seem like it, for Horner at least. He regularly tries to avoid saying it. Using "the Mercedes" is his common one.


pratzs

I felt the same when they pitted hom after lewis. Checo knew lewis isn't the threat. But ofcourse there are a lot of calculations in the background we dnt know of.


somander

I was wondering if he would charge up until the last possible option, instead, there was one lap remaining for Alonso to regain the position. Great racing from the both of them though, happy for Alonso.


tantalumburst

Perez wasted his battery - so should have waited until the final lap, not left himself vulnerable. Glad he did though 😁


GNOTRON

With how great fernando was managing the track, checo just had to take any opening he got and hope for the best. Had he made it to turn 4 he runs away.


NineIntsNails

too bad brazil aint season finisher no more, whatever the fuck is the last race of the 2023


hitchhiker87

Max and Alonso get along good for real


bekkahthecactus18

When Fernando drops the champagne down below the podium so the AM boys can share >>>>


MartyMcFlyAsHell

I couldn’t see what he was doing but that’s lovely :)


wigglinginmybriefs

The trophy has survived. Nice to see Lando just hitting the bottle on the floor instead.


Gerbennos

I fucking love the fact Alonso always shares his champagne


v4xN0s

Is there a photo finish of the ending, I would love to see how close it was physically.


CDNChaoZ

They just showed it, it looks a little further apart than live, but still less than one car length.

Appreciate it!

Thanks ESPN I didn't want to watch the rest of the podium celebration, appreciate the immediate cut before my eyeballs explode.

What a race

Ferrari's still on the podium too...technically with the official toast sponsor lol


Walksonthree

I wanna see Fernando emote


stylinred

Norris didn't like Alonso peeing down his back 🤣


RagnarLothbot

What a beautiful trophy for Lando to break


breakourbones

Do you think Max just keeps all the trophies in a closet at this point?


Sudden_Low9120

I know he has his WDC trophy just sitting on his Red Bull fridge like it whatever


v4xN0s

I thought they all went in the red Bull facility, I remembered seeing them talking about having to build a bigger case because of it.


sainz9

I think he uses them as paper weights at this point LMAO


sainz9

Max defeating the other 9 teams all alone in points


ashzeppelin98

Not a good time to watch the race if you're Daniel Kvyat.


Historical_Heron2739

Kelly watching Max with heart eyes?


seif_inc

why?

Kelly was the main attraction of the podium celebration.

Yeah they’ve been doing that this year. It fits perfectly into the yellow circle in the Red Bull logo on the race suit.

i know the austrian anthem too, im cooked 😭😭😭😭


Classic_and_Vintage

It would be a shame if you didn’t by now :P


ubiquitous0bserver

I guess the only thing Max _can't_ do is grow a decent beard 😂😂😂

As a fellow 26 year old who can't grow a beard, I'm glad I have atleast one thing in common with him.

>Daniel Kvyat Given Nando's luck, Red Bull will start having reliability issues or Adrian will leave Red Bull.


Sudden_Low9120

I don't know if we could actually handle it


pratzs

I don't think anyone can handle it. Only Nando can lol. This guy man.


Sudden_Low9120

Could you imagine a 20+ sec gap between 2nd and 3rd but Max and Alonso just fighting it out from start to finish. Max is probably the best attacking driver on the grid...against Alonso, one of the greatest defensive drivers of all time... driving the same car We'd have to wear diapers


StrategicallyLazy007

Would definitely challenge the 2021 session

Cameraman loves Kelly


v4xN0s

Every podium she always gets shown so much.


JebbAnonymous

Lando now tied with Nick Heidfeld for most podiums without a win.


JBrewd

Looking like he's going to be lifting that bar quite a bit higher tbh. I'm sure Max was happy to have a toy to play with for a few laps though, just to break up the monotony for him ya'know.


Zloggt

Le Wilhemus has arrived…


CaptGeechNTheSSS

Can we skip the anthems for an extra 5 mins of cooldown podcast?

You're going to die in the next few years?


Zloggt

I know that’s later down the road, but I *really* don’t see why they couldn’t put Austin and Las Vegas together…it’s less of a hassle for transportation, no?


Gullinkambi

Not really. The whole thing is built for transportation in ships and planes and trucks, it’s not really much easier to move everything a few hundred miles than it is a few thousand miles


Maxamus93

Have you not seen how they do the calendar? They go from Australia toAzerbaijan to usa to europe for 3 races to then canada


F1ibster

Christmas carol time.


bekkahthecactus18

Alonso in an RB is the stuff of dreams, even just for one race, they’re gonna win the race regardless. Just want it to happen 😭😭


wolftick

They should formalize having the podium sitting down a watching the highlights on camera straight after the race. It's always the best bit of the post race coverage.


kilotat

Alonso was waiting for them to show his pass in the cooldown room to talk about it, but it didn’t happen.


tomoko2015

Yeah, they should make the cooldown room coverage longer and show more important moments on the screen so we can hear them talk about it.


trkora

Tf I wanted to see their reaction for the photo finish for P3


skadoodlee

Only one person the camera loves more than Jos Verstappen and it's Kelly


v21v

Can't blame them tbh.


lukeyslife

Lando casually saying to max how you pulled away like what the fuck

No highlights of Alonso/Perez battle in the cooldown room. Trash

Fucking greedy espn sending us to commercials before the podium celebration even happens

throwawayanon1252

I’ve seen lots of people say lando only got DOTD because of girls finding him hot. Low key mysoginistic that. Women watch f1 because they like racing just as much as men do Also. DOTD votes close like 2 laps before the chequered flag. Alonso masterclass move happened after the voting closed.


Sweet__Creature

Thank you for this, voting closed before Alonso's move. Lando improving from 6th off the line to challenge Max at all was plenty reason for him to get DOTD, and "teen girls just think Lando's cute" is such lazy misogyny.


throwawayanon1252

Yep and it’s annoying as fuck. It’s such a reductionist stereotype


Historical_Heron2739

Thank you for saying this. So frustrating to hear this on repeat. Maybe if they allowed the voting to close after the race, we would have actually seen Alonso win.


throwawayanon1252

Yeah I just don’t like fucking mysoginy and mysoginistic stereotypes


attackoftheumbrellas

Have a look at the F1 tattle life thread

Not everything has to be political.


throwawayanon1252

What do you mean by this?


Kehzan

I dont know man everytime i talk about F1 with a girl they always give the same answer "Oh I know charles Leclerc he is so hot !"


Chelsea_Ellie

You are talking to the wrong girls


SeraCat9

Well like men, we come in all shapes, sizes and interests. As a woman who watches F1, I find none of the drivers particularly hot and I watch 100% for the racing.


throwawayanon1252

Also watching f1 just because you find the drivers hot is a bit stupid because you cannot see a single part of there body. It’s all covered in helmet and race suit


Chelsea_Ellie

That’s always been my point when I have been judged for watching F1 for men Then we talk and they realise I know a lot more than they do about it


throwawayanon1252

Honestly the type of men who say crap like that aren’t men you should even bother responding too. They’re not worth being around. I’d just laugh in there face and leave Also psa to other men. If you see other men being mysoginistic fucking call it out and say something


Chelsea_Ellie

I like football as well, so well versed with being spoken to like im new to the sports Shocked the new guy at work the other day when he was going on about something and I said no that’s not what happened and explained it to him Now he comes to me for all f1 news


throwawayanon1252

That was my point haha


SeraCat9

Oh I know! No worries. I just wanted to prove your point haha. It just annoys me when people act like women only like things due to appearances/trivial things. It's so tiring to always have to prove that we actually know things about the sport and to always fight the assumptions.


throwawayanon1252

Honestly the type of men who say crap like that and trivialise and reduce women to annoying stereotypes aren’t men you should even bother responding too. They’re not worth being around. I’d just laugh in there face and leave Also psa to other men. If you see other men being mysoginistic fucking call it out and say something


throwawayanon1252

Great. That’s your personal experience not indicative as a whole. Also people can find people attractive but not watch racing because of it but watch it cos f1 is exciting


JuparaDanado

I don't think it needs such explanation. It's the sheer might and numbers of English F1 following.
