The Greek commentator summed it up perfectly: "every race something surprising happens with Ferrari. To be honest the surprise at this point would be if everything went well"
Το άκουσα και εγώ φίλε. Και ισχύει
🤣🤣👍
Ο Πουρναράκης τους τα είπε πολυ ωραία στο post-race, οι τύποι το έχουν παει σε άλλο επίπεδο.
Why are the Greek commentators speaking English?
@@joskimengstrom2853 bro he translated it from greek to English. If he said it in greek you wouldn't understand would you? 💀💀
Ferrari are incredibly consistent this season
the wrong way LOL
The only team that's really consistent 😂.
Redbull to but damn Ferrari takes the crown
😂 Ouch.
So true XD consistent in being idiots.
Facts. Consistently being incompetent 😂
at the end of the season you guys should make a compilation of you guys reacting to every time ferrari messed up
might be a bit long
3 hrs long?
@@Ceece20 nah probably 4
@Thank me later 🅥 no i don't want to make potato wedges
Damn that will be a 3 part series then!
Btw Mick had a 10 second pit stop, then a 5 second pit stop, on top of an awful strategy, Haas doing their best Ferrari impression today
No wonder his race went backwards from a certain point on...
The second stop was twice as fast as the first one, at least they're improving 😂
They are technically Haas Ferrari
I stopped watching half way through... what happend to mick
@@Sammm419 he got to P13 from P18 (where he was after the stops) so it's alright I would say, but without those TWO horrible stops he may would've gotten points.
In hungary, alpine showed that hards were not correct tires. Today they shows hards were right ones.
Ferrari made wrong choices both times👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
hard tires are good only with hot weather/high asphalt temperature.
Ferrari were simply slow today, nothing much the strategy would’ve changed.
Ferrari should probably hire George Russell for tactics, man showed his worth today
calling softs when only 15 laps left? defo +200 IQ moment.
Leclerc should be more assertive about his own strategy. Let the team do the work, but say "no" when you need to. Sainz is stronger in that regard
Not as a blocker.
Had he not called softs, Hamilton would have won, he would’ve still come second and Verstappen would probably have been third.
George lost points for the team with that call, no doubt whatsoever.
Props to George. He has made it clear, he is not here to play second fiddle, even if his teammate is a 7 time world champion.
For the Ferrari tyre thing, this is what Ziggo crew said they were told:
The wrong tyre was in the tyre blanket so the mechanic responsible for grabbing the tyre ran back to find the right tyre that was meant to be in the blanket.
How the fuck did that even happen 😂 they literally have color codes 🤦♂️
whichever way you put it, on the highest level (F1) this should NEVER happen.
@IGogetaX10I LMAO color blind mechanics 😂 1st valid reason for tyre screw ups by ferrari
It was still a medium, but if it was a Front Right for example , and they put it on the rear right, the FiA would find out(someone from the FiA inspects all 4 tyres after they’re changed) they would be disqualified.
Ferrari are amazing.
Not once, not twice, but three times they messed up like amateurs in the pits today 😄
And two of them happened during the same stop. Granted, it was a long stop so there was more time to mess up :D
They've been a mess during the whole year 🤦
Remember what happened to Yuki at Baku this year: DUCT TAPE.
Yeah you maybe already know, AlphaTauri is also an Italian team.
The only thing Ferrari still has to do is have Leclerc and Sainz take each other out in a 1-2 position. I think that is the last empty box on their "how to lose the race" bingo card. Maybe they surprise me with a few more other boxes to tick.
They probably have a few other boxes we wouldn't even think are possible
@@inesx494 right, maybe. I wonder what other ones they have, it is kinda funny to brainstorm :p
We need maximum creativity, put some good story elements in how to ruin yet another race, it's an Italian squad after all! They can do sooo many things to stay in character: Run completely out of fuel from P1 3 laps from finish. Accidentally swap the cars and get both of them DQ'ed. Put fronts on the rear and burnout the entire length of the pit lane. Forget to remove an ice cooler in an intake. Forget to take the tire blankets off. Send a driver out of the pits for the final Q3 lap and forget to remove the TV's from his halo. Forget to do a pitstop altogether and get DQ'ed. Refuel during a pitstop and get DQ'ed. Do a running-to-the-car classic Le Mans start and get DQ'ed. Put a car in the wrong direction on the grid. Show up at the wrong track on thursday and don't make it to the right track until after qualifying.
If anything, the season will be too short for them to tick off all boxes.
@@obc_obdo Your last prediction may happen in the next race because they don't actually wanna race there because the tifosi would kill them after the race 🤣
I wonder how Ferrari will be portrayed in Drive To Survive
9:08 The guy who threw the first flare got so many angry fans around him riled up he asked for security himself, resulting in him being arrested by police. Supposedly he's still in a cell 😄
No he was released in the afternoon. I am curious what kind of punishment he'll get though.
@@dylanvogler2165 My guess is a hefty fine and banned from attendance.
Thankfully everyone waited until Max was coming across the line to light them (apart from 1 that was lit near the middle of the last lap). I will still argue that the track should sell flares in the last 2-3 laps and let them off after the winner has crossed the line. Keep the ban on bringing them in so you can control their release, the spectacle of them is like nothing else, so I think they should still exist
@@xlockedbmw yeah one problem with the idea. They smuggle them in by putting them in.. let's say other places than their bags)) now imagine standing next to such flare haha. But yeah I do like your idea, just nearly impossible to enforce the ban.
@@dylanvogler2165 I mean if they're that dedicated, nothing you can do about it lol. But they do need to do better searches. If they're not finding flares, they're not going to find things that REALLY need to be found
3:05 Funny thing is, this wasn't even the longest stint without a podium for Charles this season. This was only the second podium for Charles since halfway through may. Bizarre if you think about it.
UPDATE FOR MATT: The guy that threw the flare onto the track HAS been identified arrested and BANNED, both from attending F1-races in the future and the Zandvoort circuit for any purpose alltogether!!
I'm a Dutch F1-fan and I think I can safely speak for the overwhelming majority of the Dutch fans as a whole, we don't condone that kind of behaviour! (Not to mention the disgusting acts displayed at the most recent Austrian GP!!)
What happened at Austria?
@@smithcast08 Wait... you're an F1-fan and you're not aware of the shitstorm because of the behaviour of some Dutch "fans" in the Max Verstappen-grandstand?
Several female attendees were harassed and treated in a very demeaning way.
To the point where they feared for their safety.
@MasterSandman Oh, well I'm an f1 fan who focuses on racing not politics and when that came out people started generalising Max fans
@@smithcast08 Yeah, it's a shame that Max-fans are being generalized on the interwebz, which is why I gave my two cents to set the record straight. 😊
In all honesty, they should ban all dutch supporters for any type of sports for the duration of one year. I never seen so many people become so vile in any sports but the dutch. Somehow they lose common sense at sports.
1:34 the German sky commentators said Magnussen was "slowly finding his old form" after his trip through the grass.
Completely savage.
Did anyone hear the awfully biased commentary by Crofty on Sky. I mean all they could talk about was Lewis and Mercedes. and yes Merc were great on pace but I mean talk about others as well, All they could talk about is how Lewis can win this race. Bullshit bias
Matt has finally come to the last and final stage of grief, acceptance😹😹😹😹
Has been since Spa iirc.
Alonso's drive today was severely underrated
@IGogetaX10I bro wtf u on about, his focus is solely on Mclaren and needing to make sure he's ahead of Norris and Danny Ric to keep struggling
I need someone to tally up Ferrari's Mistakes this season, then Tally up Mercedes' mistakes since the hybrid era began. 🤣
The new Ferrari anthem is Deja Vu from Initial D, because each time Ferrari Strategy (TM) unfolds I just hear the eurobeat intensify.
dont make it unfair to ferrari
Botched pitstop, unsafe release and overtake under yellows. Apart from that everything went fine for Sainz.
@@Bigheadguyfromsmolmovie we’re not, ferrari are
mercedes took what is called a risk, they didnt have time to box both drivers without losing out, so they backed the one ahead in the championship and thats how mercedes got George to jump sainz in the championship
Leclerc's and Sainz's reactions to strategy are a whole different universe compared to Lewis' 😂
Sainz just being "ah sht here we go again" rn vs lewis going absolute mayham
Sainz when the tire wasn't ready.. "Oh my god..."...
Resigned is the word that springs to mind. Poor buggers are used to it now.
Imagine if Lewis had that team in the pits? he'd never have to take responsibility for anything
It's called being respectful and baking your team. When leclerc dnf'd in france and when hamilton threw away a race win last year in azerbaijan no one screamed in their ear through the radio. Leclerc and verstappen just happen to be less egotistical.
mental health advice:If you are a ferrari fan just skip monza because it consists mostly of long straights and today through graphics I saw that red bull's raw top speed was 308km/h
mercedez's top speed with drs was 308km/h
Yeah, they had way better chances this race if they actually executed. They are better in slow speed corners and slower on straights.
And I‘m gonna be there physically 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
@@Gl-my8fw They were fine at the beginning of the year but Red Bull has blown them away with upgrades while stubborn Ferrari said they want to maximize the current package before bringing upgrades 😂. Really worked out for them.
Looked more like 320 with the slipstream to me
I guess we bring Spa top speeds, there's a bigger heartache there
It was nice to see the best driver from each of the top teams on the podium!
Absolutely! I would love to see more of a close battle between those 3 next year.
Mercedes biggest mistake was to not put both cars on softs, Lewis is a 7 time WDC he knows what it takes to win, he can make calls too its not always the teams fault, and even if both cars had stayed out on mediums, based on how quickly lewis fell back its quite obvious that they most likely would have finished 4-5 had russell not went for softs
Ever since Covid started and ESPN started playing F1 racing again, I've fallen in love, and now that I get these memes, I've fallen in love with F1 racing more. Can't wait for the next race.
Being there live was such an amazing experience, even though you aren't able to follow most of the details during the race, the orange army was just incredible
I feel like russell going for stops gave Merc 2 , 4 finish instead of a 3 '4 finish if they both stayed out
Exactly.
I mean that shows inteligentes and bravery leclerc would have probably stayed out with hard and say "i dont know guy if thats the right way to go" and get Binottos Fingers on his MFD
if both pitted though then I think p2, p3 was on. I think they only had 2 options either go for a win by keeping Russell in front of max and them both out, or go for p2, p3 by both going on softs. But yeah merc dropped the ball on that one.
If George didn’t pit max still wins the race and they don’t even get a podium. People blaming George need to give their heads a shake
They should blame merc not George
@@titancheat exactly. If they pit both it’s an easy 2-3 finish for them. I know they want a win but surely the aim is beating Ferrari now.
They blame him for beating Hamilton. I imagine those are the same people that say Lewis could have won today.
Even if he was on fresh softs after the safety car, there was just absolutely no way he keeps that RB, also on new softs, behind for 10 laps.
people tend to forget that LH isn't racing for the championship and therefore has no priority this year. I found it funny that Merc made the same strategic mistake that cost them the drivers championship last year by not pitting Lewis.
Yeah I dislike the notion that George has to work for Hamilton.
Ferrari going for the " most ways to throw a race" award. Even fan boy Matt has given up.
Can we just talk about how Alonso made the best strategy call this race...basically changed Marcedeses strategy on the spot .. i do not think they were on one stop before Alonso put hards on
10 consecutive points finishes
they were hence why they started on the mediums.
Mercedes'
Did anyone hear the awfully biased commentary by Crofty on Sky. I mean all they could talk about was Lewis and Mercedes. and yes Merc were great on pace but I mean talk about others as well, All they could talk about is how Lewis can win this race. Bullshit bias
@@aishwarygaonkar4937 lewis is the star of f1 so it makes sense for them talk about him.
I am SHOCKED that people are clinging to this idea that two slow mercedes on mediums would have somehow made a difference. You know what Hamilton and Russel on used mediums would have meant? Leclerc P2 Hamilton P3.
What pace did anyone see on the mediums that would have worked to hold max off is beyond me (oh did you see where max passed him before the first corner?) come on its absurd, they should have both gone softs.
Honestly, the fact that the drivers in the Green Room all agreed that it was ludicrous to stay on (by that point) used mediums instead of pitting and going to fresh softs, tells me all I need to know about the Merc strategy. Basically, George was right, and if Lewis wanted to have any chance, Merc would've needed to pit both of them for softs, not let them both stay out. Lewis' mediums only warmed up enough again after about 2-3 laps after the end of the safety car. That means that if Lewis and George had both stayed out, Max and Charles would've both easily overtaken them and they would've been off the podium, most likely, before the mediums would've given them a fighting chance of fighting back against attacks. I know it's hard when you're in first place to make strategy calls, but this one seemed like a slam dunk to the podium drivers... why did it not seem that way to Merc?
Agreed! I think not pitting Lewis was poor judgement, a comfortable p2, p3 lost
Yes, but having 2 mercs in front can give the opportunity to block others; If one merc is trying to overtake the over, there's no place for ver to go through. Or the 2nd merc can be slow (kinda like perez in abu dahbi 2021), stuff like that. There was some chance they could keep 2 podium finishes. A win was most likely out the windows, and putting them both on soft was probably the best option (though red bull and ferrari maybe wouldn't have pitted and gotten track pos), but allowing one driver to pit was the stupidest thing they could and have done. Both option had the opportunity to be a 2-3 and they took the one that garanteed not a 2-3. Merc really isn't good in split second decisions
At that point the strategy blunder was actually Hamiltons - it wasnt necessarily such a bad idea to pit George and keep Lewis out anyways, but Hamilton shouldn't have restarted in such an obvious place, it stretched out the field and gave George no opportunity to attack Max - he should've coordinated more by looking in his mirrors to restart when George was closing in on Max so George could attack Max and force him to defend, that would've been the one chance they had at a victory after the VSC happened, if Max had to defend the restart against George and couldn't focus properly on attacking Hamilton on the first lap.
I like how everyone keeps mentioning "it's hard to make strategy calls when you're in first" when Max and RB did just that. Both realized they'd be sitting ducks on Hards with two Mercs on Mediums behind them. They made the call, and Mercedes failed to react. It's not quite Abu Dhabi this time, because Max made the move in front of them. They sat on their hands relying on strategy that worked when their car was the best on the track, and they had a rear gunner. George is not a rear gunner though. He knew the Mediums were spent forced the pit, because that's what Champions do.
Well how amazing, Ferrari wasn’t the only one tho f up the strat this weekend
Did they even mess their strategy really? Can the pit stop mess they had be called a strategy plunder?
@@wombat4191 they didn't make any mistake in the strategy but it's the memes so 🤷
The strategy was good, just unlucky with VSC.
@@gabor6259 VSC didn't mess them up too bad, it only gave max a safe pit, but both Merc were still able to fight Max.
it was Bottas's SC that started the whole chaos.
@@Kaimax61 ngl it was george that cocked it up the most. They had a good strategy going, but George going off just screwed the both of them
This race just proved how perfect rb is. Neither merc or ferarri could keep calm during the chaos.
@IIvelocityII keep coping
I'm struggling to understand why it's not an immediate full Safety Car when a car is stopped on the actual circuit. Seems way more dangerous to me than what Sainz did 🤷🏼♂️
Because it's very hard to put a Safety car inside and outside of Zandvoort.
the whole scenario at the end was 2021 flashbacks, seeing the mclaren being released past the safety car, max on softs, lewis on old tires, the vsc and then the full safety car later. Was great to watch
except that this time Max was in hamilton's situation: ahead, accepted to pit to get fresh soft tires, accepting he would lose track position. Hamilton decided to stay on track (I mean his team). Red Bull are consistently taking the right calls.
@@Dandyphonic for sure, I think the mindset of red bull and max works great in this way. They almost always prioritize putting him in a strong position to be faster and pushing instead of forcing him to be slower and have to defend, which works great with his aggressive style and his incredible pace.
@@Dandyphonic i mean you really cant blame Mercedes for making a bad call last year. And also max in Zandvoort was unstoppable, maybe that's why max accepting to lose a track, because he know he can overtake lewis in no time, he literally have like 20 laps to go.
I’ll never stop professing my love for these videos. Monday is never a good day but after race Sunday I get to sit down at lunch and watch this quality content. Thanks Matt
I'm speculating here, but based on car-behavior that Yuki was describing maybe it was a problem with the differential causing the car to veer unnaturally due to incorrect lateral distribution of the torque.
it was indeed the differential, fia already published it
Some girl in the highlights video said he got scared because Sato had a wheel problem earlier 😂😂. Yeah he got scared just because Sato is Japanese 😂😂, he watches people in F1 crash and make mistakes with wheels all the time but because Sato is from Japan he got scared LMAO.
I like you funny words magic man.
He was 2 laps down, no chance of scoring points. The right thing to do was retire the car, instead he goes back out and doesn't last 4 corners and brings out a VSC ruining other teams races. This is why top teams don't want new teams coming in. Not because they are threated by the competition, because they don't want back markers plodding around the track and ultimately ruining races and strategies for teams up front.
🤓
If both mercs stayed on mediums max would be first inside 5laps anyway and leclerc could have got them both too
well, that is hindsight and its called taking a gamble.
@@ddha0000 it’s an educated guess and extrapolating from data. There was no way they would keep those positions.
@@ddha0000 ooop found the lewis fan
@@benodaboy And now we know who is the team player and which driver is out for himself. This should get interesting.
@@TangoNevada More like, Now we Know who's actually smart and who's actually dumb enough.
Am I the only one feeling like this race was really entertaining ?
I did. 3 teams ion podium, Mercedes could end up winning, was the call for red bull for hard a mistake?, different strategies, safety car thrown in the mix to change it all up having 3 teams yet again battling, challenging track
“Hamilton fans, we don’t talk about last year”
That’s ALL they talk about!
I'm a ferrari fan, I guess all have the same feelings, but soon after the race is finished you make my day 😅😁
Even Matia was laughing this time with ferrari pit stop
Absolutely ridiculous that Haas pit Schumacher off the mediums on lap 12
As far as I understood he was struggling on the tyres
@T3000 Mick really doesn't struggle with tyres at all. You don't watch the race and stop spreading BS.
@@runninginthe90s75 how would you know if he watched the race for a start
I just remember that last weekend in Belgium we got a Red Flag during either FP3 or Quali (sorry I cant remember) when Leclerc slid into the Gravel towards the end of Sector 2. Literally stood still for 3 seconds before continuing but we got a Red Flag. One week later we get Bottas standing still, Steering wheel off, loosening the seatbelt etc. but it took the Race Director OVER a FULL Racing Lap to bring out the Safety Car. For me that kind of inconsistency is just inacceptable and we need to go Back to one Race Director or just a stricter Line followed by both of them...
It's not George's job to help Hamilton win, he's ahead of him in the championship, he could get second, he's gonna do his own race
considering Lewis sacrificed a number of races this year to run different setups, i guessing Lewis thought they were meant to work as a team. I guess george showed his colours today. merc completely messed up.
@@ddha0000 if merc did nothing and did as Lewis wanted they would of finished 3rd and 4th at best
@@ashleyw6728 wrong
@@brianNJwatson why is that wrong
@@ashleyw6728 yes, in hindisght. but nobody knew that at the time. Toto said they kept lewis out to fight for the win but that makes no sense if you remove the guy between him and max. if they wanted to gamble, you keep both cars out.
If Russel stayed out Max would have just passed him also
I don’t get it. Merc did not make a bad decision. But the British media of course will blow it up because their dear Lewis did not finish higher than George
@@blizzard6741 you do know that George is also british
@@Tea-vf9gh George isn’t British like Lewis is as far as Sky Sports is concerned.
Nothing Mercedes would have done today would have prevented Max from winning. Even without the VSC and the SC, if Max had stopped for Mediums or Softs with 20 or 15 laps to go he likely still would have caught them.
Then why didn't they pit Lewis, problem is they had two choices.
1) leave both out and go for the win even if it isn't likely.
2) pit both and take 2nd and 3rd.
What they did was just take Lewis off the podium. What they did was just leave Hamilton to fail.
What's more consistant?
A. George russell
B. Ferrari's faliure
When an unstoppable force meets and immovable object
Well B, but it was close!
I saw this tweet of the week during the race. And I cried laughing 😂. Well deserved for sure. Kudos
"Completely yeeted" pigeons made me totally lose it xD
Thank's Matt!
Its insane how they found 71 flares in the ground. Some people called out a guy who worked for a company who made those flares and they duck them in the dunes around zandvoort with help of people there. So they talked to the guy and found 71 flares in the ground all around the track
I thought it was also hilarious when Max finished the FIA ignited 100 of the biggest flares to celebrate 🤡
@@GTE_Channel why the clown emoticon? Thats almost like in abu dhabi. Its done by professinals so I dont see the bad point of it
9:20 I was in the crowd where some flares were thrown. Everyone pointed them out to security and they got kicked out. I havent heard about any fines or bans for them yet.
From what I've heard they were brought to the police station
I read on RTL they have been banned from the Dutch GP and they have both been under arrest (currently on release while awaiting their case).
Been looking forward to this!
How wonderful to see an old school track and a huge crowd.
12:09 it's not George's job to help Ham win. And another thing, even if both had stayed out Max would have pass pretty easy i think...no way george would have hold max, i mean look how quickly he passed Ham. Merc should have pitted both drivers, they could have finish P2 & P3!
People are still in Bottas mindset. I actually applaud Russel to think on the fly
so you want merc to just play safe and not take the risk for the win? they absolutely should have kept both drivers out and worked as a team. you know if it was RB on that position, Perez is absolutely getting sacrificed to help Max win.
@@ddha0000 no one can fight a faster with burnt tyres. The difference is, RB compromises track position, puts faith in Max and gives him the best tyres/ strategy.
Meanwhile Mercedes lost the gamble same as Hungary 2021, because somehow they have more faith in a track position than the guy who got them 8 team titles 🙄🤦♂️
Agreed... no number 1 and 2 drivers at Mercedes this season. George is even ahead of Lewis in the standings.
@@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168 it easy to have faith in the driver when you have the fastest car dude. when this is your first chance all season to win a race, you have to gamble.
If George doesn't put on softs, Verstappen and Leclerc would have passed both of them. People who think George and Lewis could have held of Verstappen are delusional. The error was not putting the softs on Hamilton as well.
Merc should have had a 2,3 minimum but because they didn’t pit the front driver first (arguably the faster of the two) it was strange they didn’t tell Lewis George pit till after it was too late
@@S1L3NTK1LL3R51
That's odd because Russell was definitely faster during the stint before the safety car.
They both were free to chose what to do about tyres...George chose correctly
Fun fact about the man who threw that flare. He got insulted and got thrown beer at him by other supporters, at some point he got so scared he gave him self to the police.
a great race had to come and see Matt's reaction
Okay, so to be clear, Russell kind of screwed Hamilton. Merc kind of screwed Hamilton. But Hamilton is completely free of any responsibility in any of it?
It's not like he could have learned from Abu Dhabi and made the call himself, like Russell did?
It was too much to ask for a seven times world champ to think for a moment that MAYBE, just MAAAAAYBE the last times he went out on old tyres, when literally everyone else goes for new ones, it doesn't go so well?
So no, Russell did the right and strategically smart thing. Merc as always just wanted too much. And Lewis Hamilton should know better and actually do something about it for crying out loud.
WHY is Lewis never responsible for ANYTHING? Is it blasphemy? Is it because he's a fellow Brit? What the actual hell is it that he never has to take ANY blame for literally ANYTHING?
Umm literally just the last race. Dude put his hand up and said it was my fault. I'm sorry to the team and Alonso.
@@TheFarrukhzain I'm talking about videos like this and how people blame everything else other than him.
Even last week it was ONLY when Lewis did that, when Matty and Tommy were like: "OH! If the God himself says it, then it must be true. Well, good man, good man."
Again, I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying.
Or you do, but you're proving my point of how no matter what, there has to be some thing excusing him or whatever.
When seriously, the blame for this falls on both Hamilton and the team. Not JUST the team.
@@HIPsteHeero well the team said it was was their fault, so no surprise some people actually blame only the team. And also I think lewis obeyed the orders from the team to make that call, is because he only want a win, doesn't even care about lowering the risk and take the podium instead. idk just my opinion
George SAVED a good result for one Mercedes.
Lewis could have done the same and gone for softs
Russell was being smart, he knew there was nothing he could do to hold back Max and Charles
@@biscuitcase83 EXACTLY my point.
10:08 drivers cannot physically put the seatbelt on by themselves.
If Yuki take off his seatbelt , he COULDN'T MOVE FROM THE STOP.
It's on the rules mate, search it up. If you undo the seatbelt, you are done in the race. He couldn't put them back on, even loosely. It's not something physically possible.
All he did was loosen them. The FIA have handed him a reprimand and deemed it a differential failure as the cause of the DNF.
@@themarauder6108 Bullshit. He undid them and then they had to refit them at the pitstop. He and the team just claimed he loosened them so as not to get the full reprimand for driving with the belts undone. Even Jenson Button alluded to that being the case but didn't actually say it during the commentary. It is slightly possible he could lift the adjusters to loosen the belts, but in practice it isn't possible for the driver of an F1 car to be able to reach those.
Damn, Matt’s sarcastic smile 4:22 says it all. Deep down your hurting, i can feel the pain 🥲
this was never a dull race
Croft everytime a SC does not benefit LH: "I think we should discuss if is it fair to change tyres under the SC!"
Bottas is having miserable European races... from best of the rest at the start of the season to barely any points now.
Yeah as a bottas fan its been pretty painful. Seems that the car just hasent kept up with everyone elses development. Zhous not been doing well as the seasons progressed as well. Atleast alpha romeo is mostly ignored by f1 so we arent constantly reminded
@@GonzoDonzo While the Alfa Romeo performance slipped a bit I think the main problem have been the way too many DNF's.
Bottas has got to be the most unlucky driver of this season.
Man, as an AR supporter I am devastated by the numbers of reliability DNFs they've had
Valteri "DNF" Bottas and his teammate Zhou "DNF" Guanyu
Hilarious. Keep up the good work.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The 'toilet break' comment actually made me laugh... and then u said it.. hahahah..!!
George doing his own thing, and i love it 😁
Hi's doing a Rosberg not a Bottas
I feel like a highlights of the live watch along would do well as a video.
I can imagine the pigeons being like
“There goes Kevin, sad…. SEEDS!!”
Matt your comments on the pigeons are absolutely top notch!👌🤣🤣🤣and of course, sadly for you, those of Ferrari's cannot stay behind as always😅😅😅🙊
You have to be completely diluted if you honestly think russell would have stopped max from getting to lewis if he would have stayed on mediums. I think mercedez strategically speaking was on point today, they applied the pressure the whole race. The win was never on imo, their only chance at a podium was to switch to the softs, russell didn't screw anyone over he made the correct call.. stop being hypocrites and call it like it is, the kid simply refused to be a bottas and has enough smarts and character to absolutely refuse to be a sacrificial lamb. And lewis was way out of line like always when shit goes south he blames and ridicules the same team that he praises when they have given him victories in the past because of pure strategy and also when they have blatantly sacrificed wins from bottas to give it him.
Exactly.
well said
Yes anyway to justify Ham lost. Nothing wrong in Perez defending Max to the hilt but with LH he’s driving against every driver including his team mate.
Lewis wasn't out of line for being frustrated everyone else was softs and merc left him on mediums? Pretty obvious had they both been on softs would have been most likely, p2, p3. I agree Russell did exactly the right thing however. But yeah with his pace and being on softs highly deluded to think he would not have likely got p2
@@ronaldmarcano5648 he spent a decade as number one. Why should russel not have stopped. They wouldn't have won either way.
Yuki had a differential problem. This wasn't visible on data at that point and Yuki was talking about tyre being loose. They pitted for new tyres and put Yuki's belt back on for Yuki to still feel the problem and them seeing the data.
Just because your favorite driver and/or team didn't end up winning doesn't mean it's rigged.
I also wanna add to that, Why? Why would RB wanna risk a DSQ from the whole season when leading the championship with a massive gap... Max didn't even need to win...
Your conspiracies are faker than flat earth
Yeah if they wanted to cause a VSC or SC then why would they have called him again to the pits ?
Yeah right.
Russel durring practice Friday," The pigeon just turned into me!"
You make me feel like I can do anything and I am so happy to be with you. Thank you for being the wonderful, amazing person that you are.
It was great seeing so many McLaren fans in the stands!
So what do we think about Monza? I could see RB going well around there given e.g. Spa and their solid top speed but idk, is Ferrari in trouble (more than usual) at their home race?
Ferrari will be luck to get a 5 - 6 finish, and that's if they don't screw up strategy which is inevitable.
Probably a 1-2 RB with LH or GR P3, or Max wins with Mercs 2-3
The worse thing about the Sainz pitstop is that the dude with the left rear tire was actually standing at the right front spot the entire time, realised he was wrong and scooted over to left rear. It was sad but funny.
Hahaha that wolverine meme is gold.
12:05 yeah lots of people bandwagonning on this idea especially after nico supported it himself, but when you see how verstappen ate lewis in litteraly no corner just the straight line when the safety car ended, you can't seriously believe there was even a slimmer of hope verstappen would be somehow stuck beind on fresh softs for 14 laps.
That's delusions and russell was able to think straight and call for a stop. Lewis and Mercedes both got too high on the idea of getting their first win that they failed to think properly and see that it was completely out of reach, unless russell crashed into max.
The simple fact that russel overtook lewis this easily after the safety car is a dead give-away that the plan wouldn't have worked, and that mercedes would have even lost the two podium places, and i commend russell for his quick thinking.
Seeing lewis get screwed and then seeing the radio messages always is fun lol
Oh wow, that tweet of the week was just perfect !!
the one of lewis with flashback is amazing!!
“For the ones who survived, nice little weekend for them”
Pidgins are rally fans confirmed
Hamilton fans crying because of Russell being smarter for pitting gotta be the highlight of this race (It would have been a 3-4 if neither pitted dont even @ me)
I mean crying is Lewis' specialty, so no suprise his fans follow suit.
Hehe 7x WDC
What a good result great to to see George whoop smarmy hammy I don't think the crowd would have cheered him like they cheered George
After the season is over you should have a grand prize for the best "tweet of the week" for the year. The best of the best
Yuki's car had a differential problem, which is why it felt like a tyre was loose. They decided to retire the car, as there's no point in driving around 15 seconds slower then the rest of the field
You are one of those people who believe everything they hear. Did you know that Alpha Tauri is a Redbull sister team? Wake up pal! Differential my ass!
@@tripsupstairs , The data they were getting from the cars sensors wasn't showing a clear picture of what the issue was, it's why they allowed him to continue. The FIA have since deemed it a differential failure, case closed.
@@matty3870 tinfoil hat time…
@@matty3870 no Red Bull is going to throw away the whole season which they're in a major lead to win 1 measly race? Earth is flat too.
@@boon240 The earth is flat? Really? Lmao!
There's NO stopping Red Bull... And Toto knows it. 🤣
You mean Max. The mercs are often out in front of Perez, and Max is the only one standing between them and their first win of the year.
That was a good one, can't wait for Monza.
13:00 Horner didn't even know. After the race he said "all I know is that it wasn't the engine". 😄
The FIA have since stated that is was a differential failure.
Ferrari: Picks wrong tire in a few races
Ferrari: Just don't put tires on then we can't get it wrong!
I don’t know why, but I am sure Ferrari after all these blunders during the year, will go for the grand finale next week in Monza 😂
i never do the watch along BUT next week imma do it... need to watch matt suffer in real time when ferrari mess up at monza of all places 🤣
Okay a Ferrari advertisement was shown before this video, their quote:
We StRiVe fOr ExCeLLeNcE
Lmao
If they both had stayed out it would have been harder for Max but he probably would have passed them after a couple of laps. No way they could have held him of for 10 laps.
George was smart and got himself a podium. If Lewis would have wanted to pit they would have given him priority and maybe even left George out. Its funny how good Lewis is at blaming others. In Hungary were George got f***ed by the tire strategy he didnt blame the team over the radio. And everybody just congratulated Lewis for finishing in front of George even though the reason way tire strategy.
What Im trying to say is: give Russel some credit and dont let Lewis gaslight you.
Hamilton absolutely lost it when Russell overtook him and I absolutely loved it xD It's about time Hamilton realized that it's not gonna go as he wishes, anymore. Sure, they can always tell George "Hey, your time comes when Hamilton retires", but I can totally relate to George for not just wanting to back down for Hamilton everytime and actually coming out on top of him.
Did anyone hear the awfully biased commentary by Crofty on Sky. I mean all they could talk about was Lewis and Mercedes. and yes Merc were great on pace but I mean talk about others as well, All they could talk about is how Lewis can win this race. Bullshit bias
@@aishwarygaonkar4937 I'm watching on Sky Germany, so no, I didn't hear it, sadly. Though to be fair, if it wasn't for VSC and safety car, Hamilton actually had a reasonable chance on the race win
@@HumanDevilTV yes he did have a good chance to win, but I mean that doesn't mean Crofty and team should just ramble on all about that only.
Ferrari and RB and other mid field battles were also in the race. They didn't talk about Alonso for even few minutes who had a splendid race.
Great for you you watch Sky Germany, atleast you are free of this British bias commentary.
I have heard F1 TV has a different set of commentary team, hopefully that's better
George knows that if he's going to play a Bottas role, he's going to end up like Bottas....
@@Daxboy16 exactly. Thank God we are gonna finally see Russell take charge at Mercedes. I hope he wins Suzuka or Singapore.
That Sainz tyre cockup - Nürburgring 1999 flashbacks. Some things never change 😀
I've really enjoyed these episodes even though I'm a Ferrari fan. I'm old school 65+ and when I first saw your videos months ago, I was thinking, what the heck is this. But I've come around to looking forward to each episode. I drank the koolaid 🙂
In all fairness, I think the Ferrari pit crew was given very little notice by the strategy team before Sainz came in so they weren't fully prepared. But yeah just leaving their equipment on the ground for Perez to drive over it was pretty stupid stuff
I have read that the wrong tyre was in the tyre warmer. Sounds plausible as it is Ferrari after all.....
Lewis Hamilton must be growing impatient with safety cars and everyone but him being getting new tires... 🤔
If I was Lewis, I'd go to a quiet and dark room with padding to just scream and start swinging at the walls😂
Its not masi maybe
He could have demanded sorlfts like Russell and max did. They didn't leave it fully up to the team
@@Gl-my8fw The strategy was to leave Hamilton and Russel in front of Verstappen so that Russel could hold up Verstappen. Hamilton even asked to pit for softs but Merc said nope and when Russel asked for softs Merc said yes and messed up the strategy of leaving Russel in between Hamilton and Verstappen
I mean he was like that since the rosberg times monaco staying out under sc to get track position but now with max and a slower car its not possible anymore
The race rundown voice reminds me of when you have a nightmare and you try to run but you're really really slow. Then you try to fight and you can't hit hard
Tweet of the week nearly killed me!🤣
I don't think Russell screwed Lewis at all. Forget about Max, just look at the fact Leclerc ended up breezing past Lewis- those used mediums were always going to get eaten alive, no amount of defense by George would have stopped that.
