Stroll for WEC 2024
All funnies aside, I'm just glad there wasn't a serious incident given the extreme heat and issues the drivers faced.
Inchident*
Ocon and some of the others were displaying the symptoms of heat exhaustion. If this was an industrial work site the employees could sue for an illegally unsafe work environment. This was actually a dangerous situation with ocon vomiting during the race. The race really should be run at the end of the year.
I didn't watch the race, but what happened to Logan, it seems he was getting so ill that he had to retired
@@keeshengang the conditions of the race were extreme, and most of the drivers suffered (stroll limped directly to an ambulance, albon needed help getting out of his car and had to go to the medical centre, ocon threw up inside of his helmet, alonso was getting burned by his seat). logan was the only one who made the call to retire during the race because of how dehydrated and sick he was. he also had had flu-like symptoms earlier in the week that worsened how he felt compared to the others
@@keeshenganglogan was sick with flu symptoms earlier this week. and then qatar was so hot that most the drivers were struggling with dehydration and heat exhaustion
Fia: No tracklimits
Also Fia: Let them race in a oven.
if the track is litterally painted, why not racing on a parking lot and change the track layout every year?
Was talking about this on a Discord server with some friends, and between the poorly-designed track that makes it all but impossible *not* to violate track limits and the heat of a desert track only barely into fall, my assessment was that Losail needs to get the boot.
FiA needs to buy out the contract and find a better track.

Really think the winner of this race was Carlos Sainz, because he didn't have to go through that hell of a heat spell of a race. Glad no one was super seriously injured from the conditions.

His laugh was fantastic.
I was alone in a hotel room when the race started and let out such a loud “Oh god NOOOOO” when George and Lewis hit that someone walking through the hallway knocked on my door to see if I was okay. 😂😂😂
Much respect to you Matt. It was a good decision to leave the memes about the drivers being exhausted out.
honestly just the same shit like the World Cup
The goddamn sportswashing is not just bad for the F1 image but activly harmful for the drivers and staff, not to talk of all the other stuff why Qatar is a bad place to go
Matt himself joked about the exhausted drivers and then deleted the tweet as ppl pointed out how distasteful it is.
Why? Why can't we joke about that?
@@sasankvarma7893
He mentions that in this video.
@canadianpatriot2498 heat stroke is serious , it might lead to death very quickly. These ppl are well trained atheletes, but it isn't simply about testing their limits (the objective of straining circuits), the conditions are avoidable (moving the race to earlier or later in the calender when it's cooler, pirelli has been warning the F1 for 6 months about the tyre problems and potential danger it might cause ). Ocon threw up, sarg shat himself(apparently) , leclerc's vision was compromised at high speed corners and stroll fainted at high speed corners. Most drivers had to lift their visors but sand hit their eyes.alonso was turning into roast chicken. Ppl had to be helped out of their cockpits
At 300km/h speed it can be very easily fatal.
It's not ok to joke on fatal situations.
Fun fact: Max was the only driver NOT to exceed track limits and get penalties. Meanwhile Checo…
Max almost missed all the kerbs while calmly cruising while checo was lapping every lap against/over track limits pushing like hell. And still didn't matches his pace 😅
11:40 The strategy for Bottas and Stroll was awesome. They just pitted at lap three. 3+18+18+18 = 57
Kmag and Lawson did the same but just didnt have the pace, Bottas and Zhou did the perfect strategies
@@jeeveso also, the Alpha Romeo had great speed this race. Maybe because this format was better for them, not having to look after the tyres. Just push full race.
This race was an anomaly. No saving tyres, just push like hell the whole race. Can assume this favored certain teams more than others.
@@Quiron1985 In that respect it should have suited Haas too, but they still had awful race pace
@@Septimus_ii Yes, exactly my thoughts too, but u know what I'm sayin right. ;)
Imagine if you had a Grosjean style incident in this race. Some of the drivers wouldn’t have been able to get out the car!
Very true.
That's a very relevant point. I did not think of that.
The conditions of the race today should NEVER be repeated (at any track). Ocon threw up in his helmet (choking hazard) and stroll says he was passing out.
This the same FIA that won’t let them race if it rains a bit.
It's insane no one at the FIA foresaw this. With mandatory lap limits on tyres, you end up with a race where everyone has to go full tilt 100% of the race, in the heat, and humidity.
Stroll‘s on board after he gets out is crazy. You see the mechanics run to get dry ice and a blower after he faints. 🙄
Yeh combined with the fact the tyres can't cope with the track why are we racing in the middle of a desert

Speaking of which, I had never heard Kev Mag so angry on the radio before.
I feel bad for the drivers who had to endure that hell. Can't imagine what kind of heat they had to endure and hope that everyone will be well
We were expecting such things from Singapore, but it turned out to be everyone driving slower to preserve tires and energy. Qatar was just different beast yesterday
Yeah, poor little multimillionaires 🙄
Matt's eyes are just going to roll out of his face one of these days. His look at the Russell-Hamilton incident is hilarious.
Inchident*
I imagine Vettel's reaction to that crash
Oh lord it’s one of these guys
Probably an interview is coming with lewis maybe that's why 😂
@@davidaugustofc2574 Because you're a pathetic Sebboy. Live vicariously through a failed F1 driver. How sad.
Best lap 1 in a long time LOL
What the drivers had to deal with today is unacceptable.
When Seargent got out of his car, his driver suit had water (sweat) running from it, like a faucet. That had to be a race from HELL. Alonzo said he was extremely hot and asked for relief. The team replies there is no relief. What a torturous race Qatar is.
there could be driver ducts they could open at the expense of a little aero
Both indy car and nascar have air tubes the going into the drivers helmet, not sure how the most advanced racing series doesn’t have the same thing
@@willlive6845the reason Indycar has the hoses running to helmets is because of the aeroscreens. They’re not open like the halo, so they don’t get blasted with air at high speed and it gets way hotter in that cockpit than any open wheelers with the halos.
Usually getting hit with air at those speeds produces a cooling effect for the drivers because of the open cockpit. But in this hell hole of a venue, some drivers said it felt like they were being blasted with fire.
doesn't matter with Qatar's heat and humidity. Like comeback to me when Indycar and Nascar races in Qatar too @@willlive6845
I think track limits has become a thing because track design has evolved to include more paved run-off, and yes, it's definitely faster to use that extra pavement at certain corners. I remember several years ago track limits being enforced very randomly; not every track, not every corner, and somewhat loosely enforced. Lots of fans and drivers complained for years because of the inconsistency. Now it's consistent. White line, every corner, every track, with strict enough enforcement to incentivize staying within track limits.
For safety they have eliminated gravel, grass, high kerbs, sausage kerbs, walls, so drivers have no physical deterrent to stay within the lines.
@@pablohrrg8677 100%
@@pablohrrg8677 Precisely.
Early 2000s Spielberg turn 1 track limit iirc is not existent
Another big thing is sharing the track use with motorbike series. It's all well and good saying just slap some grass/gravel on the outside of the turns. But that doesn't work so well when it'll end up with MotoGP riders high-siding at ridiculous speeds as opposed to cars which can just put on a bit of opposite lock to deal with it.
It's not the perfect solution, but I agree that all tracks just having white lines where the policing is consistent (well, mostly!) is the best we can really hope for.
I don't know why they never used the tire age graphic in the standings list on the side of the screen (if they did I missed it). This was the perfect race for it.
Yeeaah man i never missed that more than during this race!
yeah because that was a huge strategy element, we could've had some info. they are testing new graphics. but it's rare to see
They did it like once very early in the race. Somewhere between lap 1 and 7 I believe. Showed which drivers were already on used Mediums.
Then I laughed my ass off when the commenter said "x driver is already taking his pitstip!", well duh. Bro started the race on 7 lap old mediums. He was only allowed to go to lap 11. 😂
Annoyed me when Karun said 'now everyone is on the same strategy' as tho every driver had tyres the same age left. I'd have liked a graphic showing what tyre and how many laps it had done too.
My race weekends are never complete without the Funniest Tweets. Absolutely love it
You want to see how to successfully pull off that move? 2021 Mexican GP - Look at Max's lap1 turn 1 move on Ham and Bot. Perfect on the brakes (all 3 on same compound), and gave enough room. HAM is old now, and George is his kryptonite.
There's a video of Albon getting out of the car, at the end, and he's literally dripping out of his behind as he goes over the halo. This is dangerous for multiple reasons, like heat stroke and being unnable to get out of the car in case the do a Grosjean.
Thanks for owning up to the tweet. You're a standup guy, Matt. After the race, I definitely wasn't thinking it was so intense the drivers were ending up in the medical center and fainting. We make mistakes and own up to them.
Stroll‘s on board after he gets out of the car is crazy. You see the mechanics run to get dry ice and a blower after he faints. 🙄
How is noone talking about McLarens 1.80s pitstop, it's a world record
I like that Tommy’s slogan has changed from “He can’t win every race” to “Hell yeah”. Now, Natty Lite just needs to become a sponsor and send some swag.
Matt should keep his beard!
It makes f1 better 😂😂
"Beard?" I think you mean "stubble." (Regardless, I agree. Now, if we can get Tommy to grow something...)
It really does seem like Lews just gets the red mist if he has any chance of working by Max. In his brain I don't think George ever even entered the equation.
George said in the meeting before race considering Lewis is on soft he will not fight him, (its mentioned in his interview after the race anf Bradley's interview) but from the moment they begin he turns into Lewis and forgets about Max. I think Lewis is at fault her efor the incident but George just can't take a break, he uses every moment to take down Hamilton even if it means it's his downfall. He forgets about everyone else when he sees Lewis in front of him.
@@thegreata3565 when did George turn into Hamilton?
@@thegreata3565George did nothing wrong. Lewis cut across the front of his car and caused an accident yet again.
Russell mentioned that the plan was for Lewis to take the outside line using the softs to his advantage in a post-race interview, which is why i can't understand why he positioned himself there and compromised Lewis' line, rather than tuck behind Verstappen in case he ran Lewis wide
THROUGH GOES HAMILTON!!--Oh wait 😮
They said in the broadcast that the tracks have cameras dedicated to monitor the most conflictive turns, so yeah, they have people looking at the cars keeping it together. I think track limits is a good thing, even if it's annoying, because drivers have became too comfortable with bending the rules, and the most basic of all is to keep the car on the track.
What a time to Watch P1 😂❤️
Thank you from California! I needed this today and you delivered working late to do so! :)
George was drooling watching the replay of turn 1
I'm surprised there aren't too many comments discussing, whether this weekend has proved right or wrong the idea of more mandatory pit stops. For me seeing the cars go all in, "57 qualifying laps" as Piastri said after the race, was quite awesome and shows, that it seems to be a good idea. Would be great to test it in a bit more...humane conditions
if anything it makes the races even more predictable because you know exactly when your opponent is going to pit. This also eliminates options to go long on hard tires etc.
Agreed with the first commenter. Definitely not a fan of the max laps mandatory stops format. Takes away a lot of Strats and also doesn’t allow the aero engineering side of things to pan out as tire deg becomes a non issue for the most part.
2 is probably fine, but definitely not 3.
Horrible idea. Takes away a layer of strategy and car design. Only helps teams that suck at tire management, specially when meds last as long as hard. This will just lead to teams ignoring hards most of the time.
While the race was exciting, I don't think mandatory pitstops are the way to go. A huge part of the races is the strategy. For example, Sainz drove a brilliant race managing his tires from beginning to end and that secured him a win. I want drivers that have that ability to be rewarded for that. F1 is a marathon, not a sprint.
The interesting part we missed with Hamilton's soft strategy, was hinted at the beginning of the race when they showed tire age... Lots of the mediums were already on lap 7, and with the 18 lap limit, they only had 10 laps to go on them, so the softs would have been better AND last as long as those mediums in this particular race condition/mandate.
in the sprint the softs went off about lap 12 even with 2 safety cars
Not really as mediums and hard proven to be able to be pushed for the whole 18 laps stint. Meanwhile softs are pretty much dead after 4 or 5 laps. The sprint makes it look much better since there are so many SC to prolong its life.
I think the point was that it was still within the strategy window. With an 18 lap limit that put drivers 3 laps short of a full race with 2 stops. I don't know what tires Hamilton had to use moving forward, but being offset was shown to give fresher tires more than enough to pass. Hamilton thinking he was in the mix for a win would have had a shot.
Ironically i think the heat of the track made the harder tires better later in the race as both soft runners at the end of the race were losing time on fresh short stints.
Ive been watching the old races while i work. They actually talk about track limits just as much, but they complain about it *not* being regulated. Its funny how the details may be different but things never really change. Whatever the FIA does, we'll complain.
I'm very happy the camera thing is getting so much attention 😂
We changed from having directors notes on specific corner track limits to just "the white line is the white line" in every situation. That's what changed.
I wonder who has the Wikipedia record for shunting teammates
Perez and Ocon?
@@madmanf1179 And in just 1 season.
It reminds me of the time IndyCar went to Texas, and they had to cancel the race because they were passing out in the turns.

Maybe this will help you in “keeping your RB seat” had me rolling lmao
While yes, the number of track limits warnings/penalties was high, the fact is that it's clearly possible to go fast without going over the line, since Max doesn't seem to have a problem with it.
He did in quali but nothing like Perez ofc
@@UTUBE3JC Good point. I had forgotten about qualifying. (seems a long time ago) He's had the occasional issue with it before (Austria if I remember correctly), but as you said, nothing like Perez. (or others today)
@@critthought2866 yep and it literally does since we basically had another race and quali to digest
Driving styles, Max go for a oversteer style, making the curb earloerr
@@gtesorieri In two weeks we have the COTA race. Why isn't Perez hiring a car to practice early braking/short cornering technique? You can't sit/stand the during interviews claiming the direction of the car didn't suit your driving style. It is the job of the driver to adjust to the car. But I think the Miami overtake by Verstappen broke something in his head...
i did NOT expect a TMKOC meme on P1 LMFAO!!!!

Driver track limits free In Qatar, VER. It takes a ton more than a fast car and PER is unfortunately living proof.
my favorite part of the post race , when Naomi from Skysports tried to say it's Russell fault for not reading the future and not knowing before hand that Hamilton will be their, and the " are you stupid/high " look on nickos face , she be crazy 😂

I love the camera spin made it in. I didn’t realize it was something they usually do and was on purpose 😂
I would love for them to make a "cool suit" for the drivers. Something like what Cosplayers have used to make their situation easier. They are already adding a tube for the water bottle. a quick release set of tubes to connect to a cooling pack to circulate/ regulate driver temps. Maybe like how the FIA mandated max lamps per tire, they can also mandate if under certain conditions then it is required.
🎁🏆🎀🚀
I am still amazed, that a half a trillion dollar sport refuses to have a cooler, with ice water with a clean towel soaked in the water, waiting for these guys, directly as soon as the race ends, right at the side of the car. And someone to give that towel to the driver if they need it. Just absolutely amateur. Much respect to everyone working in that human pressure cooker. Especially the drivers.
I amazed that they could spend half a trillion and these drivers can still hit like bitches 😂 Everyone is so soft now.
ikr. I was in minor league sports and there were bins of cold towels, water and drinks we'd hit as play ended half time and post-game
Pretty sure the very first thing they’re required to do is get weighed, that’s why they don’t take any water immediately after the race.
Stroll‘s on board after he gets out of the car is crazy. You see the mechanics run to get dry ice and a blower after he faints. 🙄
As an Indy car fan, keeping up with the pit stops wasn't really an issue. While Indy car doesn't have mandated pit stops, because of refueling you do have an idea how far any car can go from the start or after its previous pit stop. But when they showed Logan and his pit saying if he wanted to retire he could, and the way he sound...that was a bit scary. Especially with how he was slowing down after he said he was coming in.
cramming at 2am for an English exam tomorrow, but gotta stop to watch this.
Heat/Humidity/Human rights violations
Find a better place to race
At least, don't schedule the race there in their hottest season.
Love these every race. Miss the race rundown 😢
Overly dangerous conditions need to be addressed. Driver’s safety is not worth the oil money. There are special tires for wet, and races get delayed or canceled if rain/flooding is too much. What about extreme heat?
Given the climate extremes now, a contingency plan has to put together by the FIA.
Climate history in a place is no longer a predictor.
Finally I get to see a Funniest Tweets video live and not 3 days after the fact. 439th viewer. Matt and Tommy I love these videos, your podcast, and your driver ratings/predictions, keep it up!!
this isn’t live…
Qatar is a stupid place to host a race in when the heat is literally putting drivers in medical care.
And having the track always covered in sand was super lame 👎🏻 how are they supposed to drive on the limit when they randomly hit patches with no grip
In regards to the tyre life question, I was watching F1 Gamer's channel streaming the live data which has the tyre life including any previous laps on used tyres. Made it really easy to follow between that and listening to the radio coverage.
The first crash in the corner made me so happy that I didn't even think about the fact that Ferrari wasn't doing too well.
Only downside was George being able to continue.
13:37 Track limits became a conversation after a lot of "leaving the track and gaining an advantage" shit started popping off around the late 2010s and they finally defined track limits as "the white lines". Watching back a bunch of pole-laps from the 2010-2019 era, nearly all of em would get axed these days for track limits violations.
lol Hamilton has never extracted everything out of a car
The Heatstroke GP. 😂
One thing I really liked when Massi was in charge is he would customize the track limits to keep farces like this and Austria from happening. Sure, the white line is great in theory but I'd rather customize it, let everyone do it, but police it enough to were we don't go to the other extreme of creating a new track.
I wish we hadn't lost sight of the "gaining an advantage" aspect. That really limits how many corners you need to monitor, and what situations should be allowed. It always bugs me when a driver just makes an honest mistake and loses a few tenths and then gets their time deleted. It's like...they already paid the laptime cost with the mistake!
Current drivers in the grid don't have the finesse tho. Like back then we have Schumi who use kerb only necessary, while Mika always use as much as kerb as he can as long its not violating track limit.
This kind of track limits was introduced by FIA in 2021 to avoid confusion what the track limits were. The race director have no say over the track layout, he just orchestrates the race...
@@swordsman1137all drivers use the curbs nowadays because the cars can handle them and it's faster.
No, Masi era with variable track limit is a farce. Current strict enforcement is what it should have been since long time ago.
5:48 "Valtteri, it's James"
Lewis was trying to get Russell to move into Max, taking Max and maybe Russell out as well. He could then build a gap on the softs, on the McLarens; it's the only thing that makes sense after watching a few times.
Hamilton miscalculated how the wheels made contact.
Yikes.. gotta say it felt a bit too "coincidental" that his 2 biggest rivals happened to be there the moment he made a weird tight turn like that yeah.. It felt SO random for a 7timeWC who is usully calm and calculated.. hmmm
Is NOBODY going to talk about McLaren's fireball 1.8 pitstop?! The commentators were talking about pitstop times for like a full minute before that and didn't mention that one at all. We were even *on board* the car when it happened! Shout out to all of McLaren this week. Crushing it.
The best part of a f1 weekend
The tweets blaming George are gold lol
I guess Hamilton is psychic he really was a sitting duck
Been waiting for this video the second the mercs touched tips
It gets better, look at the 2016 Spanish GP highlights, you'll see it. Then watch the driver's pen afterwards and today's media pen, Hamilton was completely different. Idk what tf he was thinking about passing Russell, imo it's on Lewis and not a racing incident.
Stroll‘s on board after he gets out of the car is crazy. You see the mechanics run to get dry ice and a blower after he faints. 🙄
I think the track limits conversation came from 2021, when some "misunderstandings" about rules caused Masi to get very "free-spirited" with what he allowed drivers to do on track... I remember Bahrain and Abu Dhabi having interesting scenes...
Congratulation you've been selected as my shortlisted winner🎁🏆🎉
I'm ashamed to admit when Lewis and Russell came together, was to bust out a giant "HA!" There's been so many simmering issues with teams orders and George racing like a meathead it was truly inevitable..
The drivers needed that blue mountain state ice rod therapy
They should never pour water on the drivers when it's hot something I learned from Nascar is when the drivers are over heating and its hot they do NOT pour water on themselves as the water then sits in the seat and starts to boil/steam making the issue worse
About the "guessing" of when they will pit... I've got a simple answer. F1 TV Pro and it's live timing. It shows the current tyrelife.
I too was like, wait why are the two Red Bulls side by si…oh wow he’s lapping him
I was at the race and even I was sweating like a pig, I can't imagine what the drivers felt like
McLarens 1.8s pitstop was amazing!
I really didnt like the mandatory pit stop lap limit, definitely took some of the strategy, surprise, and risk/reward away from the race. I also would like to see a method of organic track limit restriction that punished lap time without having to monitor or penalize, a strip of turf, gravel etc., and then just let them race...
I had to travel so could only watch the race a day later without watching social media. I was soo confused, sainz not starting, perez from the pits and mandatory 18 laps, what a weird race this was
Curbs Cutting Tires like Qatar...
I see you Matt.
I don't get how Checo only managed P10. He was up to like P15 by lap 3 because of people putting and then made no progress. That RB clearly had insane tyre wear due to how Max was putting in times comparable to drivers on new tyres while on old tyres after the first pitstops so I don't get how Checo couldn't utilize that and get at least P6 or P7. Watching him stuck behind Zhou for like 20 laps was just embarrassing. Honestly just throw Daniel or Yuki in at the end of the season depending on who does better and have Lawson be in the Alpha Tauri. They literally can't do worse.
You say they won’t do worse. But look at the teammates who crumbled being paired with Max. Albon, Gasly, Hartley, Perez. I don’t think Yuki will do better than any of them. Ricciardo … hard to tell.
@@Klont123 they never crumbled this bad. Not even close.
@@shaunlevin5081 Albon fighting for 10th place or so “they’re fighting me so hard :’( ”. He was a meme at that point. Maybe slightly better because he didn’t have the best car, but still, I call it close enough.
The thing that everyone been saying is that Red Bull car is better suited for Max rn, it's not that they built car around Max, but simply the data showed them that developing their car in certain direction makes it faster and that made a car that Checo can't adapt well to, as opposed to Max.
🎁🏆🎀🚀
Track limits was never a thing in classic F1 because "going over track limits" meant putting a tire in the grass/gravel and spinning out.
Bring back the grass or figure out a type of curb that physically slows the cars down without flipping them over.
The F1 TV Data view keeps track of the number of laps since the last pit stop
ok, Matt grew a beard for the surfshark bit and then shaved it off again to continue. That was matt's VPN look!
Incognito mode Matt
a late one tonight but i waited as always 😃
So in teds notebook. Ted says clearly Hamilton was on the softer tyres, he was going for the overtake around the outside. Russell should probably have had to keep verstappen focused on the inside line. I kinda agreed with that. Hamilton was going into that corner with SPEEED
Honestly I blame Mercedes more than Ham, why would they put softer/faster tires on the Merc that’s behind? Obviously he would be faster at the start and an overtake was absolutely the direction it was heading. Russell was stuck in between and Hamilton knew max was on the inside, he could have left more room and on the camera almost looked like he went deeper into the apex than normal
Hamilton cut into Russell, he just needed to keep the outside line and he would have passed Russell. Hamilton’s error.
@@hh-jy1ld Watch Sainz sprint race overtake on the outside, that is how it's done...
Its a shame for the race that the Mercs crashed. They were so competitive, they may have even given Max some trouble. Say they both get ahead of Max like in Australia, things could've been a lot more interesting.
Yeah, the Mercedes strategists really caused that, the soft tyre made absolutely no sense. Why on earth did they give Lewis a tyre that would last 5 laps? Obviously Lewis made a mistake, you could hear him saying during the formation lap that he was going to get destroyed.
@@joshn1678 Yeah it was a "sacrifice Hamilton strategy" at best, but that would've been better than crashing out.
@@joshn1678 Russell mentioned that the plan was for Lewis to take the outside line using the softs to his advantage in a post-race interview, which is why i can't understand why he positioned himself there and compromised Lewis' line, rather than tuck behind Verstappen in case he ran Lewis wide
The NASCAR race was on a road course. There was an entire straight where the cars drove outside the track limits.
Since the summer break RB have only just outscored Maclaren. If both teams start off next like things are now they will need a better second driver to hold onto the constructor's championship
they have a tyre life graphic which has the lap age at the side... and this weekend it wasn't used
LH- I just turned into him 😂
Honestly, I'm not sure what Russell was attempting with that move, since he was on mediums and directly behind Verstappen, it's unlikely that he could've passed him from his position. It was likely yet another move by Russell to prove he was better than Hamilton
🎁🏆🎀🚀
Track limits today was an issue because these guys were struggling to stay alive.
IE: today was an anomaly. Let's ignore it.
But the rest of the season at least, the track limits has been consistent and I really enjoy that.
Don't forget that the car suits Verstrappen better .. I'm sure that is at least 20% of Checo's troubles !!
🎁🏆🎀🚀
Didn't expect there's no coverage about Matt jinxed ferrari pitstop, they only got 3 instead of 6 😂
This race with pit stops every 18 laps, seemed like a 3 sprint races in one race.
Man you know your shit when the biggest compliment you get is you didn’t crash into anyone and gave a 1:15 interview… really letting Lance down gently lmao
Monday morning-wake up early and go to work on time or sunday night - watch P1 and screw work😂
Perez, perez,.....half a video about him. But the fact that Lewis got away with a New 1 in the long list of corner crashes gets no attention. If this was anyone else they would have been punished. And if it was max, it would be in the media for 3 weeks......f1 journalist so biased in protecting lewis
