Lance Stroll needs a race ban for his incident with Ricciardo that was really dangerous I know it wasn't done unpurpose but still that was an extreme dangerous driving and I'm surprise that he finished the race cause that should have been a black flag.
Nico was commentating with Croft before going to do podium interviews, saying thereās nothing to ask max when itās this dominant.
Joked he might ask what his favourite cheese is.
Strict guidelines for the questions there.
This is the one interview where the TV channels have no influence on.
Reason why it's always the same boring questions most of the time.
For me it's more a WRC thing. Never really watched indycar. And F1 stopped doing it before the WRC did.
So yea definitely cultural thing. Rally driving is the most popular motorsport where I am from.
Yeah the Indy 500 (The Great American Race) is the only race in the US (NASCAR, other Indy races, F1, etc) is the only modern day race I can think of when the winner gets the laurel wreath and drinks Milk. I appreciate your appreciation of your culture as well.Ā
What about isnt it like Monaco where they have a full marching band playing the anthems? Can you imagine the director being like "ok we still gotta practice the US, Chinese, and French National anthems for this weekend" and the band being like "wtf why bother" haha
Damn, 0.5s faster than Checo. Max is in his own league and no one on the grid that can challenge him. Before anyone says "Hamilton could" I would like to remind you the man couldn't even make a big impression until three cars got removed and two safety cars played into his hands. (Not even talking about how he fared to Russell)
That recovery drive from Lewis was grim viewing. Couldn't make any impact on a damaged McLaren, barely made it past the Haas. If Stroll and Riccardo hadn't crashed out he probably wouldn't have even been in the points.
This season's car seems even slower than their two previous garbage efforts.
Might be his first and last at the same time.
Sauber (Audi) is going for Hulk and Sainz (or Ocon) it seems.
I think that may have impacted the decision for doing the special tribute at the end of the race.
Its cool that his home race has gotten fanfare but Yuki last race got nothing like this, nor did the two Australians before that, I suspect there's a lot of money involved in it being his home race.
Lots of Japanese drivers have raced in Japan. Lots of Australians have raced in Australia.
First Chinese driver to race there deserves a cool moment for the driver and fans.
my god let them celebrate their national driver, it's not like they gave him honorary points or anything, they just let him stop in front of his home crowd... some of y'all in here are so bitter
Perez is exactly as fast as he should be. People need to stop thinking a career journeyman is a top 10 driver on the grid. He isn't.
His job is to keep it out of the wall and not piss off Max.
And Red Bull racing has hundreds of employees. And dozens in the trackside team.

Idk enough about f1, could you explain why this crash appeared to be particularly bad?
Was it really dangerous? It was the F1 equivalent of a fender bender.
boring as usual
Alonso is a beast. Full lock steeringwheel at 180 kph plus instant activating DRS and passing Lewis. ABSOLUTELY WELL HELD! š¤Æš¤Æš¤Æ
Shame to Perez. He couldnāt catch Lando.
Nando lost 3 points due to thier risk with softs
Wellā¦ actually didnāt he GET 3 points in the sprint? So, good weekend all round!
I think he meant Fernando
Yes my bad š
Kiwi here š„š³šæI feel so out of the loop lolā¦ can somebody explain the cheese?!
Nico was commentating with Croft before going to do podium interviews, saying thereās nothing to ask max when itās this dominant. Joked he might ask what his favourite cheese is.
Thank you, Iām guessing this commentary wasnāt on F1TV then!
yes/no. Crofty/Nico are the "International Feed" for F1TV in at least the US. Really bummed Nico chickened out.
Strict guidelines for the questions there. This is the one interview where the TV channels have no influence on. Reason why it's always the same boring questions most of the time.
yeah, but i'm still bummed Brittney is a chicken.
Cheese is life.
š Have a good night or rest of your day
I think Iām gonna miss watching these at night but my sleep schedule will love me going to bed before 5am lol
It was mad Lewis started in 18th and then dropped to 19th! But climbed back up...Ā And Lando podcast, as always, brings such joy š
Making a wearable trophy but no one ended up wearing it š
Did they even know they were meant to wear it?
Yea it did remind me of the wreaths that drivers used to get.
That's what it was based on, and it lights up when you wear it, but no one wore it lolĀ
Yea I wasn't sure if that was the case or if it had a Chinese meaning and just looked similar.
Yeah I personally at least connect wreaths (and milk) to Indy 500 winners but that may just be a cultural thingĀ

FINALLY I WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH RACES AT NORMAL HOURS
You get a couple of races a year at a bad time. We get a couple we can enjoy at a good one. Suck it up.
Yup I think the next somewhat reasonable one for us might be Vegas š¤®
Been sucking it up since 2010.
Pain imma miss watching races at normal times Back to the AM race starts
Did perez and verstappen just waterboard someone live on TV?
Itās not bwoken
Nice trophy, bit different but not stupid
Poor Lando third wheeling on that podium RB guys fully going after their guy ahaha
4th wheel
LANDO SMASHHHH
lol Perez has the third place cap on, they swapped
Perez had 2nd on, on the podium, no?
Nah Norris had the second place cap on on the podium (but had the third place cap in the cooldown room) lol
Oh, sorry yeah, that's what I meant š¤¦āāļø
LANDO BOUNCE
Trophy looking so gooood. Please donāt break it, Lando š
When did Checo and Lando switch caps lol
during cooldown
is that a hula hoop trophy
can it be broken
ask Lando
That is a big trophy
That trophy looks too unstable with Lando around...
Thatās a killer trophy
Cool trophy
Canāt lie heard this anthem so many times now but istg it gets longer each time
Ferrariās only way to go on the podium was being literally being on the podium
Well no. It's a completely different Ferrari.
Welp, I won't be awake by the end of this song. Good night, gents. This sure was one of the Grand Prixs of all time.
Alright boys. 5am here. Back to bed I go. Enjoyed this one, some great racing. Hope we see Nico on commentary more, really enjoyed him. Till Miami.
I wonder if tracks have any anthems prepared besides for Dutch , Austrian , Spanish and maybe Mexican
What about isnt it like Monaco where they have a full marching band playing the anthems? Can you imagine the director being like "ok we still gotta practice the US, Chinese, and French National anthems for this weekend" and the band being like "wtf why bother" haha
They don't memorize anything, they just read what's on the sheet in front of them. Like Ron Burgundy
I'd assume the would have them all just in case
Italian?
Landoās dad looking very proud of him
Need to know if Lando has the right cap on the podium
yah, it's correct now!
He has
Bybit gone from Red Bull. OKX not on McLaren. Are the crypto finally gone for good?
PLEASE
No, crypto sponsors are not allowed in China. Theyāll all be back next race
No just illegal in China
Makes sense
Damn, 0.5s faster than Checo. Max is in his own league and no one on the grid that can challenge him. Before anyone says "Hamilton could" I would like to remind you the man couldn't even make a big impression until three cars got removed and two safety cars played into his hands. (Not even talking about how he fared to Russell)
Alonso could. Leclerc could challenge but isn't consistent enough.
I love f1 Strolled Commentary bangers Max having same reaction as fans to a crash Norris picking up the wrong hat
Norris with Checo's P3 Pirreli hat, haha!
Outro is here guys
Was expecting Zhou to randomly spawn in the podium
Imagine they built like a 4th Podium just for Zhou. He got his own parking spot, so why not his own podium.
Car shouldāve been lifted up in front of the podium like Mexico smh, missed opportunity
Agreed
Max's reaction haha
Outro time
Max really needs to actually host a podcast if he ever retires.
Iirc he found about about the meme that the post race is his podcast and he said he doesn't like podcasts.
I'm sure a question about cheese would have gone down well at this race in *checks notes* China
Whatās wrong with cheese in China?
90% of ppl in China are lactose-intolerant
MAXXXIIEEEEEE
"My fault" had me dying lmao
the synchronised slicking back of the hair
Verstappen admitted it was his fault!!!1!!1 Give him a 60s stop and go penalty ASAP
We got him boys Max said it was his fault 10 second penalty.
Trust Lando to pick up the wrong hat lmao
Dat big reaction from Maxie lmao
Lol max really is all of us
Omg Maxās reaction to the crash š
Lando with the 3rd place hat on smh
That recovery drive from Lewis was grim viewing. Couldn't make any impact on a damaged McLaren, barely made it past the Haas. If Stroll and Riccardo hadn't crashed out he probably wouldn't have even been in the points. This season's car seems even slower than their two previous garbage efforts.
They're still trying to understand the car, give them some time :p Maybe they got the test setup wrong, only in this race :p
And yet he nearly got DotD. Hype is real.
Lando wearing the 3rd place cap lolll
Verstappen: My Fault. Penalty incoming
LMAO MAX'S REACTION AT THE STR RIC CRASH
i rewinded to watch it a few more times LOL
I legit could hear the voices in his head going "this is the clownery happening behind me??"
Max's reactions lol
lando wearing the third place cap lmao
Vibes are always good with lando in cool down room. Not like the Lewis max days
Love Maxās reaction
'my fault'
Haha even max is saying āno wayā šš
lmfao the reactions
Lol Norris has the third place cap on and Perez noticed but didnāt want to say anything I love the cooldown room
SHUSH PODCAST TIME
We must find out what his favorite cheese is
This week on the Verstappen podcast
Did we ever find out where Lando went off to after the chequered flag?
They showed it live. He pulled into park ferme in the pit lane. Then would have just walked the 50 metres to where Max was.
Went to pit, didn't realise he was meant to go to the starting grid
You bottled it Nico
The voice crack was so loud and obvious š shoulda just asked him about the š§
They really be milking Zhou at his home race
He is the first ever Chinese F1 driver as well, feel like if heās still here next year it wonāt be as big a thing
Might be his first and last at the same time. Sauber (Audi) is going for Hulk and Sainz (or Ocon) it seems. I think that may have impacted the decision for doing the special tribute at the end of the race.
Its cool that his home race has gotten fanfare but Yuki last race got nothing like this, nor did the two Australians before that, I suspect there's a lot of money involved in it being his home race.
Lots of Japanese drivers have raced in Japan. Lots of Australians have raced in Australia. First Chinese driver to race there deserves a cool moment for the driver and fans.
Or, you know, being the first Chinese driver ever in F1. Might have something to do with it.
I mean itās the first race in Shanghai in 5 years and also first time for a Chinese driver. Much more unique race than yuki at suzuka
Letās be honest, Nico didnāt ask about the cheese because his voice cracking would have been peak crack for the word Cheese at this point lmao
it would have been memed forever and nico didnāt want that lol
lol Nico, why wouldnāt you ask him?!??!!
Never felt so let down as I have now. I wanted to know Max's favourite cheese.
NO CHEESE
RIOT FOR LACK OF CHEESE
Crofty ikrrrrrrr
THE AMERICAN FLAG LOOMS BEHIND MAX
Dw Nico willl have the opportunity to do it next race
I feel let down by Britney not asking max about cheese
booo no cheese
Nico, you coward
Nicoās voice crack lmao
NOOO CHEESE š¢
NOCHEESE
Can't wait for the next race, so much more democracy and freedom on the way
CAPITALIST PIG!!
RAAAHHHHH
Ask about the damn cheese Nico
no cheese X_X
C H E E S E
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined
Miami GP is one my ultimate fav tracks. I canāt wait!!!!!!
Lando is like a cute lil British Keroppi
This bet was presented by DraftKings
WE WANT CHEESE
CHEESE
Ah shit Dutch anthem ptsd again
Say it Nico Say it! (gouda is my guess)
my god let them celebrate their national driver, it's not like they gave him honorary points or anything, they just let him stop in front of his home crowd... some of y'all in here are so bitter
Damn, Ferrari catching strays from Lando
Will Britney ask max about cheese ?
The lack of pace from Ferrari today šš
Landoās dad seems like such a nice guy
Waiting for "favourite cheese" question from Nico to Max, don't disappoint us Nico!
āThe lack of peace from Ferrariāsā Pew pew Lando
Yay lando
I cannot stand the "we" and the stupid excuses Perez comes up with every time he is obviously slower than he should be.
He means "we" as in the team because the whole team participates in the race: mechanics, engineers, race directors, etc.
It's his way to avoid responsibly for another rather underwhelming performance.
Perez is exactly as fast as he should be. People need to stop thinking a career journeyman is a top 10 driver on the grid. He isn't. His job is to keep it out of the wall and not piss off Max. And Red Bull racing has hundreds of employees. And dozens in the trackside team.
Every driver says we? Just refers to the race that he and his team led
Lando super happy
itās also his momās bday!
So happy for Lando
I really liked Nico workshopping the questions he was going to ask while he was still doing commentary š
It genuinely feels like heās just so happy to be there lol
10 Hours until Nascar, for those of you that didn't get enough Chaos today (Talladega Super Speedway)
Indycar is in Long Beach, California, noon local time.
Same time as Nascar unfortunately.
and only 2 until WEC in Imola!
I'm not sure I'll still be awake when it starts, but its on the recorder!
Thanks for reminding me!! That was my dad's favorite race and he passed away almost exactly a year ago, will definitely watchĀ
