Alonso 👋

Looks like everyone loves this nickname, fans and haters alike 🤣

but Hamilton overtook the safety car, something that I had never seen, overtaking the medical car with yellow flags

Seriously though, he was even tailing Christian Horner's Mercedes caravan. 🙄

Screw the penalties and the excuses. It's not just about him passing the SC on track; he passed the medical car too 😲 so he's not a cheater, he's just insane. What if Webber had stayed out on the track instead of being in the pits? This idiot could have actually killed him. 😱

If this is true, then it definitely deserves a massive penalty. Passing through the pits is total BS and I totally get why Alonso is complaining so much. This calls for a drastic punishment. 👎

Besides, the race director should be crucified for this. 🙄
I didn't see any of this anywhere. 🤷

Mark Webber was acting pretty strange 😁

We haven't seen a safety car at this track in the last two years, so there's a decent chance we'll see one during the race. The main thing is to stay out of trouble and turn an incredible qualifying session into a solid points haul.

Seriously Christian Horner, did you cast a spell on him? Just shut up and stop giving interviews, please. 🤣

EDIT: The Germans are absolutely crushing the Brits today🤣

Nice one, stormybadger8 🙏 I 👍 appreciate the objectivity 🙏

I accidentally and inexplicably typed a Z right before Alonso's name, and when I saw what I did, I just lost it. Laughing my head off. 🤣

But honestly, the nickname is gold 🙏 fits him perfectly 😬🤣

Alonso😍

Maria Nelson2 said:Look, I’m just throwing stones again, and honestly, it’s always easier to judge from the sidelines, isn't it?
I don't think he was trying to overtake the Scuderia on purpose. It felt more like some genius in the McLaren box saw the future and perfectly interpreted the FIA rules—rules that even the FIA itself struggles to make sense of—and gave him the nod because they knew exactly how things were going to play out. He got lucky this time, but luck is a fickle thing; it runs out eventually, both on the track and in life, I suppose.😁

My point was really about how a driver under investigation due to a weird string of circumstances 😁 is currently sitting ahead of Ferrari, which means any potential penalty handed out could end up shoving Alonso further up the field...

So what now? Look, I’m telling you, it isn't Alonso's fault. It's not even the drivers' fault. The FIA is responsible for this entire situation, and there's really no debate about that.☕

So, you're telling me Lewis Hamilton had no clue what he was doing? Give me a break. That's just ridiculous.🤣

He accidentally hit the Safety Car on track and then drove like a total maniac toward the pits. Like, you seriously think he didn't know what he was doing?😂

What’s the logic behind overtaking the Safety Car? Honestly, that excuse—"I didn't realize it was the Safety Car, I thought it was just Nicole driving my Mercedes so I sped up to give her a push"—is absolute gold. 😬🤣

Maria Nelson2 said:Man, I wouldn't be surprised if Fernando finishes third, especially since about 90% of the drivers currently under investigation actually finished ahead of him.🤣 🤣

And he's out here whining about it... I mean, you get the kind of driver you deserve, and you get the kind of fans that follow them. When it's his own failure, it's always someone else's fault.👎 🙂

They don't call it Ferrari International Assistance for nothing...😁

Look, they’re acting like they have some kind of absolute authority, but let’s be real: the FIA is a joke. There’s zero logic or consistency. They should’ve penalized Lewis Hamilton, but they also need to stop blocking everyone else from actually overtaking. The reality is pretty simple—the stewards completely trashed the race.☕

Hamilton had some serious turbo luck on this one. It was like the pit crew told everyone else, "Yeah, you guys? Just stay in the pits." 😳 And these guys? Let them just floor it and see how fast they can actually go.
Hamilton: 10 laps left.
Sebastian Vettel: 5 laps left.
Jenson Button, Robert Kubica, Rubens Barrichello, and the rest—just three laps left.

That's just reality. 😉

Kamui Kobayashi is the moral winner of this race. 🙏

Honestly, the Safety Car should have just let everyone pass until Sebastian Vettel caught up. He sliced through the field like he was gaining three or four spots out of nowhere.
Everyone else just slammed on the brakes and headed for the pits. Looks like there was a literal standstill on the track.😉And the rest of them were probably just sprinting around the track like maniacs, trying to get it over with as fast as possible.
Lewis Hamilton got absolutely hammered. He ended up stuck behind Sebastian Vettel—who really should've played it smarter since he completely missed his window when the Safety Car came out—plus he was already running a bit behind. To top it all off, they had to change his nose, and then he pulled a total amateur move and missed his pit stop during that same lap, just like Vettel did.

Kamui Kobayashi was the only one who absolutely nailed it. Everyone else? Just my grandpa, who somehow managed to completely screw everything up afterward—the pit stops, the strategy... god knows what else.😕

They absolutely screwed everything up, completely and utterly. Honestly, I can't even blame Alonso for complaining; he’s totally justified there. As for the FIA punishing Lewis Hamilton? That was just straight-up dirty. 🙂 No penalties, but they totally killed the race. If there wasn't that penalty, Lewis Hamilton would've been hunting down Sebastian Vettel until the very last lap—it would've actually been exciting. And honestly, even without all the Safety Car mess, we’d be in the same spot because Hamilton wouldn't have had to pit that early anyway. So what was the point? We ended up with a total fraud who walked away with everything while the actual race got completely screwed. 🤦

Don't get me wrong—as a fan, I’m stoked that Sebastian Vettel took the win and that Alonso missed out. But this whole thing is a complete joke. It’s an absolute disaster from the FIA. Their lack of speed and inconsistency is pathetic, and McLaren is clearly exploiting it. They know they won't face any real consequences because if the FIA actually tried to punish them, they'd have to kick them out due to that suspended penalty. And let's be real: doing that would just tank Formula 1 as a whole.

The only thing that's 100% certain is they saw an opening. They would’ve pulled that move with any other team, and any driver would’ve capitalized on it—including Ferrari and Alonso.

The only thing I’m actually looking forward to after this absolute mess from McLaren is a rule change. They need to bring in black flags for anyone tailgating the medical car starting next race. Seriously. ☕

It's just like when Rosberg and Kubica were looking at Shanghai—I think it was 2008, that race where Piquet hit the wall and Alonso took the win.

Hamilton capitalized on the chaos, and honestly, Alonso has every right to be pissed, but you can't really blame him for not being faster either. It was just a total tactical disaster from Ferrari.☕

People can argue about it all they want, but it’s not like this started yesterday. Everyone knows the FIA takes at least half an hour to deliberate on every single decision.🙄

This isn't anything new or weird. McLaren got screwed over so badly that the FIA has been playing favorites with them ever since, but let's be real: if anyone else had pulled this, the outcome would've been exactly the same. No doubt about it.☕

Kamui had a fresh set of tires to make that pass☕—mistybear87 said the exact same thing, since apparently you won't listen to me.
I didn't say he drove well—I mean, yeah, he had guts, but there's no need for everyone to act like he's the second coming. He's not *that* much of a genius.☕
But hey, since you always feel the need to go overboard, go right ahead.

Go back and actually read the post you're quoting before you try to lecture me. ☕

He did the exact same thing Alonso did in Monaco, and honestly, even better. And yet, you guys were all over Alonso. Kamui pulled off an entire race stint on the same set of tires 🙏—three laps, and in those three laps, he overtook two cars 🙏—you can try to philosophize and say it’s nothing, but the kid is driving a car that literally falls apart during races. To pull that off? Props to him. Overtaking someone's little favorite doesn't mean we should mock him or downplay an incredibly impressive result.

mistybear87 said:I mean, even Chandok might have been able to drive like that on fresh, soft tires
He wouldn't have overtaken anyone quite like that, though... 😬

but seriously, forget just one part, the whole race🙏

they need the guts to run the same tires for the entire race while keeping everyone behind them, and then hit them with that final attack at the end🙏

hollowdriver18 said:AAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🤣🤣🤣😂

Locked 😢😢😢😢

mistybear87, open this up 🙂

Christian Williams61 said:Kamui Kobayashi is absolutely insane 🤣 🤣

you guys are actually geniuses... Kamui is out there on fresh rubber while those two are just white-knuckling it, praying their tires don't completely disintegrate 🙂

Don't give me that. The question is whether Vettel, Alonso, or Hamilton could even handle this junk for a full race on one set of tires while holding everyone off. ☕

The kid is phenomenal. He was the best out there today—hands down. Even if he did overtake Sebastian Vettel on the final lap. 😳

Just because he passed your favorite driver doesn't mean you get to trash a little genius. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Let's go, Kamui Kobayashi!

mistybear87 open a thread: Kamui Kobayashi is the world champion right this second 🙂

What a drive, pure Kamikaze 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Jergović finally realized 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

damn, he's such a klutz 🤣

Holy crap, I nailed the exact moment he took the lead 😲

Does Kamui Kobayashi have a Fastest Lap 😁

Sad Kamui Kobayashi, Please

slybison8 said:Honestly, this whole race feels like a bit of a farce... I suspect the final standings won't actually be confirmed until several hours after everything has wrapped up.

Hours? Please. We probably won't know the truth until the 🤣German Grand Prix😂. 😂

🤣 Man, they’re going to penalize everything at this rate. Grandpa would've taken the win on Monday 😂😂😂

Grandpa, Tommaso Chandok, Jarno Trulli 😂

cosmicridge5 said:🙏 🙏 🙏

🤣

The biggest prophecy of all? It's Fernando Alonso. I roasted him yesterday, I'm roasting him today, and I won't even have to try tomorrow.🤣

Christian Williams61, don't worry, I'm not going to mess with you. I've already used up my entire quota of nonsense on him.😂

stormybadger8 said:You guys have no idea—it's going to be the most intense and best race of the season. 🤣

Total madness on the track; bulls and matadors will be dropping from the sky and running between the cars. 🤣

Since apparently I'm some kind of psychic, 🙂

it was basically bulls falling from the sky, some guy running on the track picking up bottles, 🤣

and even Kamui Kobayashi finished 3rd 🙏

Damn. I should probably just change my handle to Nostradamus 🤣
