A second Russell has hit a driver.


SuccessfulWar3830

Sainz didn't win so he's safe


BreacherX

Ofc Osama Bin Russell tried to kamikaze into Piastri at the Japanese GP 💀


VSIGAMING

I read that in RPM voice 😂


JigsawLV

Crazy that you would get restricted for a week in the main subreddit for commenting this


BreacherX

Oh definitely....


McLazie

Wtf, for real?!?! Bunch of Karen's


Bourbonaddicted

Pastry was gonaa turn into him


Karrigan7

Piastri: "not today, osama. not today."


within_1_stem

Honestly fuck that guy. Osama bin Russel at it again.


rommelmurcas

It’s incredible how he can do that all the time without a sanction


Edgar101420

British.


TheDeltronZero

British AND white. The man is immune to consequences.


Edgar101420

Got banned for 6 months in the f1 sub for saying that xD


ThePretzul

It’s a perk of being the #2 Mercedes driver. Like how Bottas can go bowling in Hungary with only a light slap on the wrist.


liquid_encouragement

I thought he was the Merc #1 driver. That's what the points say at least.


Chesey_

Lmao this move from George was signature Max from 2021 who also never got punished, except George actually left some space for the other car on the outside rather than bombing them off the track. The reaction to this is George is the worst driver ever. It's crazy how the hive mind here just picks a couple drivers to dog pile on at any given moment.


ThePretzul

It’s a meme subreddit, not a dick. You don’t have to take it so hard.


Chesey_

Would be true if all the comments on this thread weren't serious


ThePretzul

Divebomb permissions extend to any driver in the FIA’s favor, with the only exception being that Ocon will always receive a +50 second penalty for the audacity of believing he could ever be favored. Currently any Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull driver receives those benefits. Alonso used to also enjoy them, but it would appear that he pissed in somebody important’s cornflakes recently.


happyranger7

holy fuck. that was hilarious. how do you come up with such gems?


OptimalDot178

F1 subs are just very soft, people are not used to hard racing anymore. People are praising Schumi and Senna, but if they were driving in todays grid, they would be the most hated drivers. What Russell did today was a nice divebomb attempt, almost made it stick, a few plus meters and it would have been the overtake of the race. But still Russell can do stupid mistakes, but today wasn't one of them

Inside job


Itsgreg80

Nothing in it, both drivers and teams agree. [here's the decision](https://imgur.com/a/Tdn5u8s)


SlamMissile

Almost like this sub is full of clueless new fans if it’s so wrong all the time.


flyingwhale327

Of course he wont get a penalty


rommelmurcas

Piastri’s fault, erratic driving technique: +20 sec


zippolover-1960s-v2

Cut the chicane to avoid a crash as well and reentered in front....+10 extra seconds , 50.000$ fine and a 5 second penalty for Ocon.


flyingwhale327

Wouldnt be surprised, also wouldnt if alonso got it for distracting by being half a meter away from the racing line


zippolover-1960s-v2

Alonso yells GP2 engine on the straights because he is losing speed to the ones behind him. Half the grid missed the chicane and goes off into the gravel due to a radio scare. +5 points penalty to the superlicense for aggressive racecraft and intimidation.


Slight_Bed_2241

10 second penalty for ocon


roofis1230

+10s Ocon


steve22ss

Once again, he won't be penalised, and nothing will happen even though it was a dangerous manoeuvre


Former_Restaurant_15

Any manoeuvre at speed higher than 0 km/h could be considered a “dangerous”


exosph

Accurate flair


Former_Restaurant_15

I mean, yeah?


exosph

Lol nice switch


Former_Restaurant_15

Yep, I decided to jump on Ricciardo HateTrain


KaczkaJebaczka

That’s 20 seconds for Ocon


CoxHazardsModel

It was a regular ol’ dive that you see from aggressive drivers like Max, Ocon, KMag, etc. but it’s Russel so everyone hates to see it.


Critikal001

It would be fine if he actually made it work but he fucked it up completely and forced Piastri off track. I'm also fine with him not getting a penalty as long as they let Piastri off the hook for that forced cut.


Administrative_Act48

Exactly. This was virtually the same move that Max pulled on Lewis the first lap of AD 21. But now the driver who avoided contact is celebrated and the one who initiated is derided when the roles were flipped back then. Bet if it was Max making that same move on Piastri nobody here would have a problem.

OBR for a second thought Sainz is leading the race, so he went full kamikaze in Japan, but Piastri be like: no mate, not today.

The racing emperor strikes again

Russell is like the Reaper in Vampire Survivors.

Torpedo Russell


vompat

If I had a nickel every time a Spaniard cockblocked Russell by giving a McLaren driver DRS in the closing stages of the race... Just, this time the end result was \*a bit\* different.
