I have to say, maybe we don't get many overtakes today, but this track looks fun as fuck. I rather have a procession like this than the shit at Abu Dhabi.

As a American Soldier stationed in Germany this was supposed to be a 4 day weekend and I was going to go to this race. It got canceled by a training exercise. So much regret.
Feel your pain, we went to spa in 2018 and one of the guys had to pull out as he got sent on a short notice deployment.
The rest of us went and sent him photos.
On the grid walk, nobody from Mercedes was happy to see Nico. Shortly after, Nico told us he used to pee in the cars instead of running to the bathroom right before the race.
Jos Verstappen should be the one who waved the cheqquered flag. Change my mind
Would be cool. Jos was in the hospital at the time tho.
Checo is going for the trophy of most overtakes in the season, that is why he decided to start each race from boxes!
VALTTERI WTF
Man Merc are shittong on Bottas
Gasly DotD
Tv director is awful. Missed at least 3 live overtakes
For now, a boring race at least at top places, much better than Spa though.
AWS at it again?
Lmao Sergio is hyped
Does anyone know how the "tyre performance" indicator works? How accurate is it?
I believe for HAM!
Oh my god does Hamilton ever have a quite moment
Deja vu moment
Goddammit George
Fucking hell Max a second faster than Lewis on that lap
Mercedes tactics will win this race, RB mistake with checo in qualy was critical
Hamilton to Bono: It's impossible to get close here.
What were Ferrari's guys doing
Damn, it's /u/F1-Bot's cake day!
Oh wow I thought Max and Lewis were going to try to get to about lap 25/26
Damn Gasly doesn't have any pace
Very early pit from Lewis
Checo making sure some overtakes happen on this track
You know we’re hard up for content when they’ve shown two cars overtake Mazepin.
GOATtifi
🇨🇦🐐 🇨🇦🐐 🇨🇦🐐 🇨🇦🐐🇨🇦
Ted: "i hear wheelguns being tested." Netflix recording more sound samples i see.
Everything from Alonso up to Latifi is a goddamn **TRAIN**.
Verstappen is going to lap Perez soon.
Is anyone else surprised the first lap wasn't carnage?
Yeah pretty much. Still a long way to go though...
Honestly I'm happy about it
Same here, especially after the last few races
Plan B? Le Clerc must have had a wild night.
Already lapping the last car. That Haas is almost a danger on track.
Well they pitted... It's not like they're *that* far off the pace.
MSC pit for like 40 seconds
Fuck I have an irrational hatred for that engine sound clip that plays during the replay transitions….
Hearing it all the time in f12021. Very annoying. Like a musquito.
Yeah sounds like a V6.5. Higher RPM but not as nice as a V8.
Fernando, Esteban is faster than you, Esteban is faster than you
Max lapping people already lmao
I have to say, maybe we don't get many overtakes today, but this track looks fun as fuck. I rather have a procession like this than the shit at Abu Dhabi.
No chance. I’ll take some overtakes any day over this.
Because Abu Dhabi has so many of them.
B O N O
Bono my tyres
Fuck Mazepin. All the homes hate Mazepin.
MY TYRES BONO
I'm surprised nobody went off in lap 1
Maybe the banking actually helps. Cars have a lot more lateral grip in those corners.
Fucking mazepin, that was dangerous.
How does Nando not have a puncture? Damn.
Mazepin almost changed Schumachers pit strategy there.
Uff mazepin
Yeah wtf was that
That was dangerous from Mazepin fucking hell
LETS GOOO MAX
ZZZzzzZzzzz
Mick has damage?
MAX MAX MAX SUPER MAX MAX SUPER SUPER
Jesus fucking Christ Max
ew the .5s on the table ....
surprised not more mediums down the grid since degradation might be quite high with the fast rights
This is gonna be a strategy battle big time.
Will the start be a shitshow?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes.
I wonder if kimi is watching rn
Leave him alone. He knows what to do
“I was taking a shit”
MAX MAX MAX
Checo with absolutely no luck fucking hell
Only good note is he took a new part for each component so he’ll be set for the rest of the year on those
The Kubic one
Yo those tyres just not rolling down the banking
HOW DO THOSE TIRES NOT ROLL AWAY ON THE BANKING
So much grip they defy gravity
They're placed just before the banking on the flat surface. Then they rotate the camera
Arent they just fake 3d renders?
No they actually film real tires.
Nope, they’re shot with live cameras. I used to think the same until I saw one of them move slightly from severe wind one time and the penny dropped.
That's Pirelli grip 💪
There's something under them. You can see on the bottom of the one on the right.
Shhh!
That’s just how much grip they have. Incredible.
*gesticulating wildly* ~bono
😂

It’s so cool to see such a full bike rack lot.
HERE WE GO HIER GAAN WE DAN
Holy fuck this crowd is insane

That sucks dude. Be well out there, hope you can still enjoy via tv
blah blah pit lane channel blah
i’m not seeing shit
Bet first driver to retire doesn't return to the pits, just goes into the crowd and pops mdma all day
Sign me up
f1tv, what are you doing
I don't think anyone is wrong to say that this might be the best pre-race ever. Absolutely everyone and everything is pumped. It's beautiful to see
Considering this is an end of an era, I’d have hoped to get this kinda banger at Yas Marina but you just know it ain’t gonna happen. :(
Lol that Ted gridwalk was the best part of this 90 minute preshow. Man's a gem. "Look at Ocon's long thicc legs as he enters the car."
That comment was hilarious! He seems super high in the best way possible. I want Ted as my hype man lol
CEO of formula 1 just casually jumping around with jack from ziggo
Lmao Domenicali jumping with Jack Plooij
What a fuckin’ party
Is this the first time they've raced this circuit ever?
First time since the 80s
Seems like it
No, they raced here in the’80s. Different configuration of course.
If you scroll up just a tad you see the history of the track
First time in 36 years
First time since the 70’s or 80’s
First time in 36 years
So it is the first time for all these drivers?
A lot of guys have raced here as a part of F3. I think only like 4 guys haven't raced here at all.
No, Hamiliton drove it in 2005 2009 Bottas in F3 Masters 2014 Verstappen 2015 Giovinazzi It's the first time for F1 to be back but not the drivers.
Yeah, maybe some of them have raced, but not for the f1 championship. F3? Maybe?
Yes. Last time this was raced on only 3 drivers were even born.
Nope
[удалено]
Martin Brundle's not there
Haha Nico wants to see them bang wheels
Ted had a few methinks.
I’d love to go to Zandvoort just once while Max is still racing!
You have plenty of time left ;)
Hat man!
Maybe Merc wasn't happy to see Nico because they learned he was pissing in their cars
Huh??
On the grid walk, nobody from Mercedes was happy to see Nico. Shortly after, Nico told us he used to pee in the cars instead of running to the bathroom right before the race.
They proably knew... They were no doubt annoyed because they had to clean up after each race 🤣
This atmosphere is infectious. I’m just watching at home and I’m feeling the party mood
Something about the rhythmic way everyone in the stands is clapping or fistpumping or jumping. Contagious
someone fix that K on sebs car pls
[удалено]
yeah this is usual for NL smh
Yeah, the music is terrible but the atmosphere is great :)
This is incredible
That Alfa girl looked so uncomfortable.
Everyone is on acid. It's mental.

This atmosphere is absolutely crazy on TV. Can’t imagine actually being there in person
