Spanish GP (Circuit of the Americas) – May 15, 2016

Man, Sebastian Vettel is absolutely relentless. 🙏

Michael Diaz4 said:This just goes to show how much the driver actually matters. Mercedes-AMG might have the car, but they’re lacking the right talent behind the wheel. Even Sebastian Vettel said to his boss back in Russia, "Get Max Verstappen back into Toro Rosso." Daniel Ricciardo just isn't cut out for a championship run—he lacks the tactical sense. While the others were managing their Goodyear tires perfectly, he couldn't keep them in check. The guy got a shot at it last year and completely fell apart.

Even if we assume Ricciardo trashed his tires with that aggressive driving style—which isn't necessarily a fact, since we don't know for sure—what did he actually lose by doing it? He at least made an attempt to overtake Sebastian Vettel, which is what you're supposed to do. Was he meant to just circle behind him aimlessly? Your logic is totally backwards.🤦

The flower ended up right where it shouldn't have been

Man, you really are something else... 🤦

But hey—what do I know? I've been saying this for years!

just adding more salt to that pathetic wound 😢

Ricciardo is dancing

Like I predicted, Daniel Ricciardo didn't make the podium. Honestly, he’s even more clueless than I originally thought. Only a complete amateur goes that hard on the car and tires like that. Sebastian Vettel would have been like a red rag to a bull for him. Everyone was running the same rubber, yet somehow he managed to shred his exclusively. So much for that driver everyone claimed was better than Vettel. Even that wild Russian driver completely wrecked him.

Sebastian Vettel has completely lost his cool.

Sebastian Vettel: I’m telling you, he’s going to hit me, it’s inevitable
🤣The commentator: Oh, give it a rest already

Kimi Räikkönen might have a shot here. It's getting crowded out there.

You're totally off base.

For heaven's sake, Sebastian Vettel

Can someone please unchain this guy?🤦

Aerodynamics really gave Max the edge he needed here.

Max Verstappen drove an incredible race today. It’s a well-deserved win for the reigning champion.

Kimi Räikkönen drove that one really well. He’s looking much stronger this season, and I’m honestly happy to see it.

Sebastian Vettel wasn't anything special today, though he did a solid job defending against Daniel Ricciardo.

I’ve never been a fan of Daniel Ricciardo, and today just proved why. He lacks any real tactical sense—kind of like Lewis Hamilton—just driving aggressively whenever he can. Honestly, I'm glad he had that tire failure.

Lewis Hamilton proved his lack of judgment once again. I have no idea why he thought trying to pass Nico Rosberg in the opening lap was a good move. It’s a shame because he's a great driver, but that was just a foolish decision.

To be honest, the race was pretty dull.

Well, you clearly haven't been watching much figure skating at the Olympics lately, have you? 😁

We really ought to find a way to penalize Sebastian Vettel for his constant whining over the team radio—it’s honestly starting to damage the reputation of Formula 1 as a whole.
