F1 Belgian GP - Spa-Francorchamps

John Bennett4 said:Hahahaha, what an absolute clown Kimi is. First he shuts Hamilton out, then he gets washed like a little monkey before spinning right into the wall... honestly, if you're drinking, stay off the track...

Blazick is the man; ever since he followed Senna, his heart has belonged to McLaren—that is true class...

Hamilton, you absolute legend... 🙏🙏🙏

I truly fail to follow your logic. Calling Kimi a "clown" while praising a mediocre driver like Hamilton—who didn't even deserve a seat in Formula 1 to begin with...

The commentators are alright, but this Jergović guy... 🤣

Aside from Hamilton himself, Jergović is probably the luckiest man alive that Kimi got knocked out...
He can barely keep a straight face, honestly 🙄

Investigation? Are you kidding me right now???? Ferrari fans are constantly pulling this absolute garbage—just look at what happened with Felipe Massa last race—and nobody ever gets held accountable. Is the team just untouchable or something???????????

rustystag7 said:totally 🤣

but he definitely had his own way of being sarcastic, kind of like some trash-talking fan from a small-town Texas football team trying to put lipstick on a pig 🤣

that wasn't even him ☕

Roger Williams3 said:that wasn't even Balog☕

then who was it???

Edward Howard2 said:The commentators are actually pretty decent, but this guy Jergović... 🤣

Aside from Hamilton himself, I think Jergović might be the luckiest man alive that Kimi dropped out of the running...
He can barely keep a straight face, let alone hide that grin. 🙄

And when Kimi eventually pulls it off and becomes champion again, I really wonder who Jergović is going to point the finger at? Since he won't be able to blame the fact that a Black driver missed the title, and now that Alonso isn't on the team anymore, everything is just centered around him. 😂

Yeah, you're spot on, Roger Williams3. That’s exactly what Vela said, though in my head, I kind of swapped him out for Balog instead.

Samuel Baker3 said:Man, just wait until Kimi ends up taking the championship again. I really want to see who Jerković is going to try to pin the blame on then. Since he didn't snag the title, he'll be looking for a scapegoat, especially now that Alonso isn't around the garage anymore to take the heat. Everything's basically revolving around him at this point. 😂

I don't know, man. It’s looking pretty tough for Kimi to pull this one off...
So, when is Felipe Massa going to step up and become the clear number one in the team? Honestly, once that happens, we might actually see him making a serious run at the championship.

I’ll buy him a drink at Monza if he actually manages to take down Hamilton. 😁

Kimi’s only shot at grabbing that championship this season is if he starts playing on a PlayStation... seriously, there’s no other way it's happening.
I mean, looking at his recent runs, there’s just zero sign he's gonna catch someone like Hamilton. Not even a hint.

Look, honestly? After seeing how things went down at the US Grand Prix in Austin today, I really don't think we should be getting ahead of ourselves. It’s easy to get hyped up, but I just don't see this as some big sign that they're actually back in the hunt. Not yet, anyway.🤷

Edward Howard2 said:hard to see Kimi actually doing it...
but since he's basically becoming the lead driver once Felipe Massa takes over, maybe we can actually expect him to fight for the title...

I'll buy him a drink at the Chicago race if he manages to outrun Hamilton 😁

go felipe go 👋

Edward Howard2 said:it seems unlikely that Kimi will...
but since he's going to become the number one driver in the team right after this situation with Felipe Massa

if that actually happens, Hamilton might as well start celebrating his championship title today

What an absolute mess, what a race 🙏🙏🙏

Richard Green73 said:I honestly don't get you—calling Kimi a "peasant" while acting all high and mighty? Hamilton didn't even deserve to be in Formula 1 in the first place.

Hamilton fought exactly how all the great drivers and champions fight—uncompromisingly, but with total integrity.

Kimi went wide right at the very first overtake attempt and forced Lewis off the track.

Once Lewis actually let him through, Kimi started weaving left and right, trying to block him—basically signaling to Lewis that the show was still on, before he completely blew it.

Then, like some kind of amateur, he spun out and slammed into the wall—even though he’d been lucky enough to clear that trailing car earlier.

But hey, I guess that's what happens when someone who's had one too many shots of cheap bourbon gets behind the wheel.

rustystag7 said:Kimi’s only shot at a title this season is on a PlayStation, because that's it...
He hasn't shown even a hint of being able to catch Lewis Hamilton lately...

Austin just suited him, so I wouldn't say today proves he's actually back in the mix.🤷

Don't even start with me—you aren't seriously telling me Charles Leclerc looked like a better driver than Kimi today, right?🙄 And honestly, I don't think Kimi crashed out due to his own mistake; he had a puncture during that contact with Lewis Hamilton. You could tell the rear right was totally flat when he hit the wall.🤷

Samuel Baker3 said:if this actually happens, Lewis Hamilton might as well start planning his victory party right now.

🤣🤣

man, you are such a joke...
can you even try to look at the situation realistically for once?😂🤣

the guy who’s been driving the best race of the season deserves to be the top dog at Ferrari. Or do you honestly think it's better to have him playing second fiddle to Kimi Räikkönen, just hoping he can pull off some miracle while sitting 20 points behind? 🤣😁

the sooner they put Kimi in that secondary role, the better the odds for Ferrari and Felipe Massa in general, without them constantly tripping over each other for points...
kind of like how McLaren used to play it last year.👎

John Bennett4 said:Lewis Hamilton fought exactly how you'd expect any great champion to fight—uncompromising, but keeping it fair enough

Kimi went wide right at the first overtake and squeezed Lewis Hamilton out of the way

Once Lewis Hamilton finally let him through, Kimi started weaving all over the track, cutting him off just to signal that the show was still on, then he completely blew it

Then, acting like some total amateur, he spun out and slammed into the wall, even though he’d actually gotten lucky during that pass on the guy trailing behind

But I guess that's what happens when you sit behind the wheel after a few too many shots of cheap bourbon

And of course, those incompetent officials are opening an investigation into none other than Lewis Hamilton 👎

Why is everyone whining so much? This was a fight, plain and simple. No room for the pity party here... I bet you all think you would’ve handled things differently... please. Just chill out from this heat and accept that the better driver won today. It's crazy how some people look at things here—like every single legend is a villain. Senna, Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton... it’s ridiculous!!!
Only someone with zero fighting spirit could even say that!!!! When you're deep in the heat of Formula 1, it's impossible to judge if you actually crossed the line... what a load of crap, I can't believe this!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

stormybadger8 said:Don't even get me started on that... you really think Felipe Massa looked better than Kimi Räikkönen out there today?🙄 Honestly, I don't think Kimi messed up on his own. It looked like he had a tire blowout during that contact with Lewis Hamilton, because when he hit the wall, you could clearly see that rear right was totally flat.🤷

Massa was a total disaster today, but whatever, man. You gotta look at the whole season, right? Or maybe we just focus on today's race and call it a day... who knows.😕....

I'm totally with you on the tire thing. There's no way it popped just from the impact itself...

placidsurfer9 said:Stop whining... this was a fight—pure and simple—no room for pity or feelings here. You all think you would’ve handled it differently? Please... get out of the heat, cool off, and just accept that the better driver won today. Based on how some people talk here, every legendary driver is suddenly a villain—Senna, Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton... it's ridiculous!!!
Only someone completely lacking a competitive spirit could say that. It's impossible to judge whether you've crossed the line when you're in the middle of the heat of a Formula 1 battle... what absolute nonsense. I don't buy it for a second!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bravo!

Even thirty minutes after the checkered flag, Massa still looks shell-shocked from getting overtaken by Kimi Räikkönen on the first lap.🤣
