2013 British Grand Prix at Indianapolis (June 30th)

Please, spare us the metaphors.

A real expert commentator right there. 🙂

Mark is just fueling the fire again, seriously 😁😁

I can’t wait to hear Alonso claim he was just "lucky."

Tomorrow will be more of the same—absolute perfection, I suppose—where everyone starts singing praises to whoever manages to scrape into 4th or 5th place ☕

Hihihih.

God, the way he handles that microphone is just pure mastery... nobody else pulls it off quite like that 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Kudos to Mark and Lewis. Huge congrats to Nico Rosberg on taking the win.
I mean, what exactly did Fernando Alonso do today to make his fans feel so vindicated?
Was it just because the guys ahead of him either blew their tires or had to retire?
Felipe Massa started right behind him, but after that tire failure, he had such a massive struggle just to limp back to the pits
that he ended up finishing only 7 seconds behind Alonso.

And then there’s how he just casually leans his left hand against the barrier—as if it were nothing. Nobody can pull that off. Absolutely nobody. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Well, Northamptonshire... we’re heading out to see the Young ones, aren't we? 😂

Lifild. 😁

Nando, eat dirt: "lucky day for us..." as if Massa is even part of that "us" group. This guy’s been having a rough ride all day, and after about 10 laps, he’s basically starting the whole race over from scratch...

Honestly, it just proves there's actual talent on the grid; we just need to stop letting Bernie’s nonsense hold them back.
Goodyear should probably sue Bernie for every single penny for the damage done to their reputation. Even Tiger Pirot wouldn't have put up with criticism this bad...

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. ☕

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

I'm with you. The guy probably makes even going to the bathroom look effortless. 🙏 🙏

Nobody does it quite like him. 🙏 🙏

So you're telling me an SC for 6 laps didn't help him stay within 7 seconds of Alonso?
Not to mention that other SC right before it too.

That’s exactly why I’m such a fan... he knew he had to make those fresh tires count to grab a podium spot, and he executed it perfectly.

It was honestly a masterclass in pure driving skill. He capitalized on every single opening—first when Hamilton had that tire blowout, then he jumps to 1st. 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!

Who are we talking about? Cars struggling on dead tires or just slower machinery?

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

😢

😁

Look, honestly—everyone knew he wasn't built to handle this kind of pressure. I’ve said it before, back when things were still relatively steady, so don't act like I'm just now making this up out of thin air
But if you ask me? He's going to snap like a cheap twig under all this stress. Mark, seriously, please 😁🙂
