2013 British Grand Prix at Indianapolis (June 30th)

Alonso cruised right past Button without even breaking a sweat. McLaren 🤦

Who actually is this Webber guy?

If he’s got xx overtakes, then what was Hamilton or Weber sitting at? ☕

From what I can see, everyone gave props to both Hamilton and Webber ☕

But hey, keep being jealous—it’s a good look on you. 🤣

Then Massa hits a puncture, and boom, back to 1st again. Then Vettel drops out—another win. Finally, Raikkonen gets missed in the pits—that's yet another 1st place for him.
My goodness, Alonso really is a maestro...

A few more turns and Hamilton might have ended up in the wall... plus, Massa practically shaved him like a sheep right at the start, haha!

Did you see how the Maestro drinks his water? 🙏🙏🙏

Nobody else does it quite like him! 🙏 Here's another one 🙏

🙂

Alonso drove a masterclass, fighting from ninth all the way to the podium.
That's 15 points closer to Vettel.
Accept it sooner rather than later. It'll make things easier for you. 🙂

Credit? If we're being honest, they were the real stars of this GP, not Alonso.

Jealousy? That seems to be the default setting for most of you whenever Vettel goes up against Alonso over the last three years. 🙏

Where on earth did I say he gave Alonso an advantage?

You can't seriously claim those gaps are realistic when you're talking about a few laps left after an SC. It's totally skewed.

Give me a break—let's talk about Raikkonen, who managed to finish only 30 seconds behind the winner after grinding through the whole race.

Jason Campbell70 said:Maybe the fact that he’s beaten them by double digits in head-to-head overtakes? 🤷

Thank goodness the calculator only goes up to two digits.
Do me a favor and upgrade that thing before next season, because you won't be able to keep up once the odometer starts spinning uncontrollably.

In what way did Alonso drive worse than them?

I probably would have pitted if Vettel hadn't had that tire blowout. Honestly, I'm pretty sure he would have, just at the US Japan GP.☕

Vettel’s lead just shrank by 15 points.

😕 So? Is there actually any doubt about who’ll be crying by the end of the season? 🤣

Let's go!

My point was actually about the timing after the second SC and how effectively he used those fresh tires to make his move.
I wasn't talking about the luck he had when Lewis lost a tire or when Vettel's car failed...

Provided he doesn't qualify as poorly as he did today for the next 50 races,

With the way things went after nakon prstov dropped out, the championship has suddenly become quite interesting; who knows, perhaps nakon prstov might even pull a disappearing act in Germany, allowing the rest of the field to close the gap. ☕

shadowstag10 said:In what way did Alonso drive worse than them?

Where was Hamilton when that tire blew, and where was Alonso?

Same goes for Weberko.

Sure, if the SC helped them, it helped Alonso too—otherwise, he wouldn't have seen a podium without Vettel dropping out.

He’d just be looking at an even bigger gap in the fight for the SP.

placidridge2 said:Did you just start watching Formula 1 this season? Based on those comments, I’m starting to wonder.

Please, go ahead—hit me with more of those brilliant takes.😁

The guy lacks the mental toughness of the true legends—I’m telling you, he’s going to crack because he won't be able to handle dealing with this much blatant negativity.

It honestly feels like things just won't align for Lewis Hamilton the way his driving style deserves. It’s always something unexpected popping up out of nowhere—last year it was Singapore, Abu Dhabi, and Brazil... and now this situation with VB. I really feel for him.

placidridge2 said:Hamilton was the same way—after his tire popped, he was practically in last place, yet still finished right behind Alonso.

Then there's Weber, who nearly wrecked right at the start but still managed to cross the line ahead of Alonso.

But hey, let the kids have their fun. ☕

you clearly don't get Formula 1

Man, I just saw how Maestro walks...🙏

Nobody else does it like that....🙏 🙏

If you ask me, Lewis Hamilton is the undisputed star of the race. Then you’ve got Paul di Resta and Mark Webber, who were both absolutely top-tier. Following them, I'd say Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg, and Felipe Massa were all incredibly solid performers. Rounding out the field, Kimi Räikkönen, Adrian Sutil, Nico Hülkenberg, and Daniel Ricciardo were all quite good in their own right.
