Mr. ☕

I'm really not digging this interviewing style.

😁

It’s best if Kimi wins. At least his podium behavior isn't irritating.

Yeah, me neither, it’s total garbage.

It’s way better if Kimi takes the win. At least his podium behavior isn't freaking annoying.

He wouldn't be spraying champagne everywhere, and honestly, even Lauda would be stuck wondering what to ask him. Everyone knows Kimi just doesn't give a damn about anything.🙂

Just give him a penalty; it would honestly make my day. 👋

:klap:👋👋:klap:

Time to celebrate after a race spent walking on eggshells.
Honestly, I’m feeling pretty damn good right now. It was quite the show, especially considering how wet qualifying was, those recent tire nightmares, and everything that went down during today's race.

Fernando Alonso was absolutely flawless. 🙏
Sebastian Vettel put in a solid effort, but it just wasn't enough.
Jenson Button was brilliant, truly top-tier!

Someone owes a round of drinks to those two guys from Switzerland. 🙏

Mark Webber 🤷.

People are already talking about a possible third-place finish on Kimi's Facebook profile 😁

It’s clear that Ferrari is looking really strong.😳
Huge props to Fernando Alonso for a convincing win.👍
Even if it didn't look effortless, he clearly had the race under control from start to finish.

And man, they went and penalized Sebastian Vettel too.😢

He messed up a bit there... he really should have let Jenson Button through. He likely would have overtaken him anyway before the end, since there was only a lap and a half left, and he was clearly the faster driver.
Jenson Button played a part in it too; he seemed to slide wide right as they exited the corner, which caused Sebastian Vettel to take a much wider line.

Maybe Lewis Hamilton just wasn't meant to be at McLaren... maybe he's had enough and wants a fresh start, though his options aren't exactly endless.

Fine, whatever. But what about the tire situation? That was an absolutely bizarre race. Honestly, it was pretty much just boring...
