Since when is it Bottas's job to clear a path for Russell?

Bamba ramba 🙏

Crashcedesi 🙏 🙏

I imagine Master Wolff won't be particularly thrilled about this 🙂🙂

Russell messed up, and there’s really no reason to be furious about it.

Looks like another influencer just lucked out again. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Russell is fuming because he knows he’s stuck in this absolute wreck of a car... did he really think he was getting Bottas's seat?

It’s going to be a standing start, so we’re looking at a whole new shuffle of the deck.

thank God they both walked away from that—could've been really nasty

If Bottas had just played it cool, he might have actually walked away with some points.

A ton of talent, but clearly not much common sense. It’s funny watching how everyone lets the little guys off the hook—if Max had pulled those same stunts a few years back, they’d be calling him Crashstappen again.

Sure he was (and still is) Crashstappen; there were just fewer races where he *wasn't* slamming into someone compared to the ones where he was.

If you ask me, I think Russell is to blame here. He had plenty of room to work with, but it’s like he wasn't even aware of his positioning—he just hugged the far right side of the track instead.

Leclerc 2, what an absolute overachiever!

Max is losing this one ☕

Man, Russell basically tried to take out Bottas on the track just to claw his way into a Bear and seat.😁

It honestly still trips me out that they didn't get a single decent shot of the rear right side of Russell's Williams; I'm dying to know how much of that tire actually hit the grass before he ended up spinning.

A classic Slavko Cvitković reference.😁

Looking at Kim's car, you can tell Russell was just a bit frantic out there; honestly, it isn't even Bottas's fault.

Exactly...

Russell basically did Bottas a massive favor here

Why aren't they showing the onboard footage from Bottas's car?

Maybe this is Perez's big chance to make up for that penalty

Well, he’s got no one to blame but himself...
He's just bitter because he thinks he should be behind the wheel instead of Bottas
His buddies all landed seats at Ferrari while he's stuck driving a junker—of course he's frustrated.

Things are definitely going to get tougher from here on out, that's for sure.
