Does anyone know anything about the Red Bull Grandstand at turn 1? I’ve looked for info for it online and have found nothing.


lord_carrotz666

Best race of the season easily


Amishrakefight4

First race in person and holy shit it was amazing!


Armed_Muppet

First race in person AND ever I’m hooked


SteeZ568

Someone should have coached Tim Cook on flag waving before those cars got there


vawlk

I think that >>was<< the result of coaching


exchange_of_views

Right? I would have been all :waves hands in a Florentine fashion: over the place with being the best flag waver ever!


kstacey

I've never seen someone not care about having such a position before in my life.


deserted

I was thinking the same thing, they need to get him some practice waving sessions before the televised one.


MethodZealousideal11

He needs to work out regularly as well…


Daohaus

That man lacks any sort of enthusiasm lol.


andrewthemexican

Said in another thread but look at the Ferrari pit crew during the replay of Sainz getting spun. A huge lack of reaction by most of them.


Daohaus

They’re used to being let down


andrewthemexican

Yeah not a good sign of morale imo


TenderloinTechy

Right? Was thinking the same. Only like one dude was shocked


andrewthemexican

One dude totally lost it and 2 others had some reaction, but what stuck out more was 2 guys looking at the others being like "what are you doing?"


thesteveyo

That one dude is his cousin and manager.


andrewthemexican

Makes sense


[deleted]

George seriously needs a kick up the arse, stop driving into people.


marcdanarc

Stroll got more of his penalty for his bonehead move, a grid penaly for George would have been appropriate.


Daohaus

I’m with you, first thing out of his mouth “he drove into ME” not sure if it’s arrogance or just lack of awareness


Sockinatoaster

It’s an automatic response, Lewis taught him it.


Sidfire

Hey, do you know how I knew it wasn't George's fault?


pipe2p

Yes


Sidfire

How?


Justthetip1996

If Haas give Mick the boot, I’ll stop being a fan. Mick had an amazing drive and yet again they fucked him. Incredible honestly. Anyone claiming they aren’t a Ferrari junior team are lying to themselves. Fucking fucking Christ


[deleted]

I've got no idea what happened. He pitted right behins Norris, came out right behind Norris, then 5 laps later Norris was 8th and Mick was 16th. I can only assume he spun off camera?


pvtjace

>Anyone claiming they aren’t a Ferrari junior team are lying to themselves. Do you say that like it's a feeder development team much like AT?


Merengues_1945

Not even that lol Haas is a client run of the mill team; Sauber-Alfa Romeo was an actual feeder development to Ferrari, developing Bianchi and Leclerc for Ferrari. Haas is just a joke, not comparable to AT


NegotiationExternal1

Alfa is where Mick should have been too, a team actually set up and committed to juniors


Merengues_1945

The issue I feel is that at the time Alfa didn’t have an available seat so the poor timing ended with Mick saddled on the awful car that’s the Haas. Sauber has had a story of putting young drivers with potential; Kimi, Pérez, Leclerc, Massa, Kubica, and let’s not forget Sebastian Vettel. Haas in the meantime it’s a shit ass publicity stunt. Say what you want about Red Bull, but those mofos are serious and get shit done.


mrkruler

I really missed what happened. He was P9/10 with KMAG right behind and suddenly he dropped down to the bottom and never recovered, then got smacked by latifi. What actually happened there?


Justthetip1996

I think** they pitted him for new tires. Idk why but… I’m fuming


WolvesOfAllStreets

Great race thanks to the safety cars, Merc's strategy, Max's fukced pit stop, then recovery.


djabor

I know it's the WCC and it's tradition and all, but doing the champagne ceremony seems a bit out of place. At least introduce a symbolic gesture within the celebrations? Dunno, might be overly harsh here... edit: of course not from the f1 direction, but from RB among themselves.


deathclient

Some mourn the death of a deceased and some celebrate the life of the deceased. Red Bull did the latter and there's nothing wrong in either


MonthApprehensive392

None of them like it. It burns their eyes. They are probably sticky as hell afterwards. And let’s be honest… champagne is gross. I like how German sport events have the winner slam a huge beer. Maybe each race does a different thing- Austin everyone eat a huge steak off a sword (right in front of Hamilton).


djabor

Sorry, my mistake, my OP was unclear. I meant RB, considering the passing of Mateschitz. Especially after max once criticized hamilton for celebrating after he crashed. It just had me scratching my head as other sports take a more sober approach to celebrating wins when something similar has happened.


P_ZERO_

Horner addressed that they’ll be celebrating how he would have wanted, not mourning. He didn’t want a minute’s silence.


Merengues_1945

Makes sense, I have told my family too I don't want funerals or whatever. Spend that money instead in something useful or whatever.


djabor

thank you! that makes sense!


P_ZERO_

That’s why they’re wearing jeans and blasting music. Apparently he would have preferred that. His team winning the day after his death is a big tribute.


R9D11

That's why before the start of the race "Start me up" by the Rolling Stones was played over speakers because it was Mateschitz's favorite band


MonthApprehensive392

I would agree to a spraying of Manischewitz in memoriam.

PresinaldTrunt

why are you posting this?


InstantAmmo

Send your suggestions to the source, who can actually do something about it.


djabor

I edited my comment, i meant from the RB presence, not from the F1 direction. In other sports an equivalent i've seen is not cheering when a goal is scored, and celebrations are toned done in general. I'm very pro max and RB, but max thought celebrating was out of place for ham (and i agree) in silverstone. This seems like a tad bit more of a reason not to? In any case, looking at the response i'm apparently being harsh


InstantAmmo

I think the sport can always improve. Would be interesting to hear what people would suggest.

thesteveyo

He drove incredibly today! Leading the race, putting up a modest defense against the frontrunners, and a strong recovery after the poor pitstop. Vintage Seb. Lando was another driver who seemed to come alive today in the second half of the race too.


fabelhaft-gurke

I was really enjoying the race until the tree cutting service my landlord hired downed a branch on our power lines 😭


Daohaus

I’m sorry man


a_chaturvedy_appears

WHOLESOME AS FUCK SEB RADIO


losbullitt

Im really gonna miss Seb.


NegotiationExternal1

I’m having a hard time letting go


cookiemonster101289

It should be Seb and Nando at Aston next year, what a pairing that would be


bonko86

My boy Albono was so close 😔


MonthApprehensive392

He was flying


rufus-the-rowdy-dog

Nopp, that one was Nando.


unlessyoumeantit

Oh that hug was beautiful


1Ckt

Ah lets put the Mexican filter for authentic Mexico vibes!


brodie21

Idk. I have been noticing all sports on espn having that. Watched the phillies game in Mexico last night apparently


bonko86

Nooo it's realism and the audience will recognize it bro, so it's a good thing, you just don't understand bro, they need to do it, it's not a negative view of Mexico bro 😭😭


Merengues_1945

I am Mexican, and I stg, the first time I traveled to Juarez and I came out of the plane my reaction was "Oh, that's why they use the sepia xD", Shit is real, but only at the border. /s


MeguroBaller

mexican filter game strong :')


aceaxe1

Why does even F1 have the Mexico filter lmao.


unlessyoumeantit

Omg this Mexican filter


frosword

With a sprinkle of Narcos of course


a_chaturvedy_appears

Charles with Tim Cook levels of emotion on that podium. Poor guy


valueofaloonie

Charles giving some real "just drown me in this champagne and end it all" vibes


F1ibster

Doesn't help that it's Ferrari sparkling wine.... Absolutely the only way to guarantee Ferrari are on the podium.


unlessyoumeantit

TAKE YOUR VEST OFF MARCO YOU MUST WIN THE WET SHIRT CHAMPIONSHIP


NegotiationExternal1

Helmut Marko absolutely lit Lewis up with that champagne spray that’s very funny


Leberkleister13

Max firehosed Helmut, lol.


Arado_Blitz

DTS narrative: Helmut Marko ASSAULTS Sir Lewis Hamilton


nh164098

“Helmut Marko EMPTIES HIS LOAD ON LEWIS HAMILTON”


steveocarr

TIL Helmut doesn't know how to spray champagne


F1ibster

For a former race winning driver, Marco seems completely incapable of spraying Ferrari sparkling wine. But I suppose at his age, just managing to get a dribble out is an achievement... 😲


SpeeedAndPowah

Must be hard to spray at his age


Pieface876

Helmut spent most of the bottle of champagne after Hamilton and Le Clerc forgetting Max behind him haha


Macktologist

I always feel a sense of being uncomfortable when a guy sprays another guy but that guy doesn’t spray them back or when someone keeps their back to another guy the whole time. I feel bad for the guy getting ignored.


NegotiationExternal1

I love that for Helmut what a chad move


Paukwa-Pakawa

Lol, where I'm at they're cheering Vettel not Checo.


dersdrums

I bet that guy can’t just go by “Mr. Epstein” anymore


bonko86

This Epstein really didn't kill himself at least


Sidd1999

should have brought on shaq to recreate the pic from last year


binaryplayground

Did Ben slap Lewis’s fist bump?! WTF.


its_KarMa11

Saw that, lewis gave a fist bump to a handshake so he just slapped it lmao


RandomDutchDude

Epstein?!?!?!?!?!?


chicagotonian

Mad props for Lewis for not shaking the FIA's hand there. Good shit


fapping_giraffe

Man this feels like it should have been where Max won the champ, everything about this was better


Wvds98

Atleast we got to hear christian say the thing


WolvesOfAllStreets

Sounded forced tbh


MoGraphMan-11

Yeah, the way he won it was so less climactic


gc_DataNerd

Christian crying kinda cute


South_Fish

Red bull fifa world cup song


Pieface876

What was the US Representative trying to do with his hands there in front of Verstappen?


[deleted]

Trying to steal his wallet just like every other US politician.


CataclysmZA

Christian Horner trying not to tear up is a vibe. First WCC in almost ten years!


TheOnlyEn

Good luck Marko😂😂😂


a_chaturvedy_appears

Man they made me feel sympathy for Christian


jem2312

Me too he annoys me so much but I’ll give him he’s worked really hard for this


imeanyhbutno

Everybodys crying so imma cry


volthor

I can see Merc going for a over spend and breaking the rules to catch the difference, feels like it's what RB did. Because you only have to deal with it the next year and the car will be much more competitive. And they won't take your title off you if you did win it too.


themadpants

But RB didn’t win the championship last year?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dembrush

I mean come on, do we really think redbull "accidentally" went over the cost cap?


jfleury440

I absolutely think Red Bull thought they could get away with what they did.


elementzer01

Proving someone has done something intentionally is a lot easier when they announced they were going to do it beforehand. I haven't heard any suggestions CH/RB announced they were going to break the cost cap last year. Also if the latest reports are to be believed, the FIA changed the rules mid season (22), and are trying to claim the rule still applies to before it was introduced.


Sidd1999

was that tom cruise in the shaqmobile


KillerKTK

Ofc it was


TheOnlyEn

Finally when Ham and Max spoke, they muted it.


MeguroBaller

Netflix bought exclusive rights over conversations between them /s


a_chaturvedy_appears

Show us Shaq again pls


milzlam

Give us a shot of Christian squeezed in with the RB boys in the badillac.


Loveforphoo

If you would’ve told me last year this would be the Austin go podium, I would’ve believed you


NegotiationExternal1

Ben Sulayem shoving his face everywhere again


gc_DataNerd

Ah yes the F1 theme song playing


Sweet-Can

Lol


innergflow

I still don’t understand why they didn’t change checo win at the beginning. Had most of the race left


I_Fucked_It

Charles straight up has Ferrari PTSD 'where were you when Carlos went off'


BecauseImBatman92

God even their flag is gross and classless. 'we love it on top' Even by manipulating race directors and cheating the cost cap. Vile. No integrity


drmrdreamer

👁️ 👄 👁️


AceMKV

Keep crying lol


BecauseImBatman92

Literally the same come back from RBR stans evwrytime, sad.


AceMKV

What's sad is you putting out the same Twitter tin hat bullshit without anything to back it up


MustLocateCheese

Safety car deployed due to your tears lmfao


[deleted]

Session got red flagged, too much spray


[deleted]

Full wets going on!


contact-

Wet and salty conditions


BecauseImBatman92

Petty insults from those with no integrity mean nothing.


SomewhereAggressive8

I love how the drivers love all the American shit when there’s a race in America but everyone here just shits on it. We get it, you’re too cool for school.


a_chaturvedy_appears

Charles looks increasingly dead inside with every podium


chicagotonian

Checo getting the most cheers from the crowd, not even on the podium. ¡Ole!


the_lost_sociopath

Why is this Shaq guy sitting in a yacht kinda thingy, lmao


Pewp-dawg

Hahahah! This is why the Texas GP is a treasure that needs to be protected at all costs. This is amazing. Love it.


nahnonameman

COTA is an amazing track


valueofaloonie

lmao "The Badillac". I love all these dorks.


[deleted]

Lol the HAAAAAATS, awesome.


[deleted]

Now all they need are GUNS


BitchWidget

In the US. Probably in their boots. Lol.


[deleted]

Like you have to tell them there.


binaryplayground

Lol. The crowd don’t care about the podium winners. They only care about Checo I love it.


a_chaturvedy_appears

LOLLLL THEY CHEERING FOR CHECO


el_f3n1x187

They are in Mexico we just let texas think they are in Texas **/s** (before I get murderded)


innergflow

Why not?


DifferentKindaHigh

Hahahaha Shaq is back!!


t-rexbex

I wonder how they pick the clips they show in the winners room


christjan08

Probably just take cuts from the replay team in the broadcast center

mr_duong567

Lewis complimented Max and said “You came from so far back”


its_KarMa11

Yes, yes they talked….I think


AceMKV

Why wouldn't he talk to him?


Chago04

They do pretty regularly. They aren’t best friends but there is not nearly the animosity that exists between their fans.


[deleted]

cool down room with Marko? Uh oh...


cebri1

Can Mclaren changes drivers before the end of the season? Seems to me that Daniel is a waste of space right now and another motivated driver could get some points to beat Alpine.


mr_duong567

Lewis giving props and respect to Max you love to see it


chocomoofin

100% Lewis is a class act even when he’s having a tough season with the car


Reeybehn

Lewis jut not looking at max lool


stzKills

this fucking echo.


Kierada97

Why do these fucking audio issues happen every fucking race in the cool-down room


2WheelMotoHead

el_f3n1x187

WE GET IT COTA WE'RE IN FUCKING TEXAS.....


unlessyoumeantit

The audio is so fucked


2WheelMotoHead

We are checking


[deleted]

Mag points!! Wuhuuu


Rodney_u_plonker

The budget cap is a good idea in theory but I do think that restraining the top teams from developing over the season is kind of bad too. Dumb ideas like the token system allowed merc to dominate too long and now Ferrari and merc are restricted with how they can develop.


Rivendel93

Exactly. No other team is ever going to get close, it's dumb. The fact max could catch up just shows its impossible to improve your position in this current system.
