What did Kimi actually say? Did he even realize who 🤣😕
was? He clearly wasn't firing on all cylinders—which explains why he’s such a massive disappointment lately.
Nice job, Red.

That was a masterclass from Fernando Alonso.
His race management was incredibly smart... he played it safe by only making overtakes within the DRS zones, never leaving an opening for other drivers elsewhere on the track.
Those five monstrous laps from Sebastian Vettel were something else... the guy is an absolute beast when he needs to string together a sequence of blistering laps.
Red Bull really took a hit today; they completely let Mark Webber down with those clumsy mistakes.

My god, what a driver.
My god, what a team.
Maestro. 🙏

Oh man, what a Driver 🙏
Okay, I’m a bit confused here...🙂
Is Fernando an incredible Driver who can perform miracles with a beat-up old car, or is the car just absolutely phenomenal and the best one on the track right now?
I ask because—as you all so clearly taught me back when Kimi Räikkönen won in Australia—you can't have it both ways. Back then, the consensus was crystal clear: Kimi won because he had the best car, not because of his driving style... but suddenly, now, Fernando is the Great Master and all that. 🤷
Anyway, huge congrats to Fernando...🙏
Kimi 🙏 🙏
Lewis...🙏
And Jenson Button with those defensive moves...🤦

Yeah, I get it now.
He's just rambling—honestly, the guy can barely even mutter a coherent sentence. 😁...while they were just sitting around waiting in the lounge.

x.
P.S. My absolute highlight has to be when Gumbek snatched that baby—these people are so obsessed with perfecting performance metrics and all that technical racing jargon, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, you get this smooth, effortless move from Gumbek that just leaves everyone stunned.
🤣

I find myself in total agreement here. 🙏
Wouldn't it be something to see Kimi Räikkönen clinch the championship in a nail-biting battle against those two right through to the end of the season? 🙏

Like there's any way they aren't messing with the whole damn race order.

Of course you can.

What a total disaster of a race, and I’m sitting here losing my betting slip by mere inches...
Nadan is going to head into the next seven races with a standard setup and fresh tires next year because this whole thing is a circus. But, having learned from last season's mess, we probably need to wait another 3 or 4 races before things actually stabilize enough for us to see some real racing...

Fernando Alonso was absolutely clinical out there. Just incredible. Pure class.🙏
Honestly, I don't think people realize how much of a different breed Kimi Räikkönen was. Respect.🙏
Sebastian Vettel squeezed every single ounce of performance out of that car. Solid drive.

If I weren't such a gentleman, I’d be busy digging up old posts from some forum users written right before the race. 🤣🤣🤣
