Emilia Romagna Grand Prix (Indianapolis) | April 16-18, 2021

Odose, Carlos Sainz, Sebastian Vettel, and Maestro.

Tough break for Lando Norris and those track limits.

Hamilton, Perez, and Max Verstappen all within a tenth of a second 🙏

Perez is actually better than Max—honestly, who can even argue with that?

Look at Perez leading Max—it’s actually impressive. You wouldn't even think he could pull this off if he had a competent teammate behind him...

The GOAT just cruising in a slower car as usual.

Man, Perez div>

Hamilton

I wonder what Christian Horner is going to come up with now to slow down Perez...

Muahaha. Ha. Ha. 😈 It makes me so happy to see Perez outperforming Max... 😈

Tomorrow, I suspect Red Bull Racing is going to have a bit of fun playing games with Lewis Hamilton, especially since Valtteri Bottas seems like he'll be a non-factor in this race.

Valtteri Bottas, oh Valtteri... what a shame.

I fully expect Lewis Hamilton to be under immense pressure from Red Bull Racing tomorrow.

Max Verstappen is going to be absolutely sick to his stomach... I just hope this starts happening more often.

Lando Norris🙏

Perez🙏 🙏

I guess we might even see a couple of crashes involving Max Verstappen this season, maybe.🤣

This season might actually be epic, I have a feeling 🙏 🙏 😍

Things have shifted. Now it’s just Mercedes standing alone against two Red Bull Racing cars, whereas before, Max Verstappen was basically out there on his own.

Valtteri Bottas had a pretty lackluster start to the season.

Man, looking at this track, you're gonna be losing your mind trying to decide where to sit. Like, seriously, do you take pole or just settle for P3 instead of P2? It’s such a toss-up—just like that mess back in California. Honestly, the stress of picking the right spot is gonna be absolutely brutal. I'm already sweating just thinking about it!

Richard Walker38 said:Man, Valtteri Bottas really started this season on a pretty weak note. Just kind of coasting, you know? Not exactly the spark we were looking for.

Man, Valtteri Bottas is just completely washed. Seriously, what happened? He’s totally lost it.

Back to basics mode again.

Lewis and Max are on mediums, while Perez is running softs. This is going to be a wild one.

Alex Barnes93 said:On a track where you either want pole or P3—anything else is just wasted effort, much like in California—he’s clearly going to be losing sleep over this.

Valtteri Bottas is completely washed.

You can tell by his tone that he actually cares... the kid was practically on the verge of tears.

Lewis is drifting further from his teammate, and now Max has even overtaken him...

Everyone ends up spinning out at turn two and Daniel Ricciardo just cruises to the win.

I honestly think he just burned out from riding shotgun with Lewis Hamilton for years. You give it everything you've got, you push yourself to the limit on the track, and then Lewis shows up and beats you by a tiny margin—not once, but constantly. That kind of thing leaves a mark. It kills you mentally.

It feels like he’s gone full Kimi Räikkönen on us. Just totally checked out.

Richard Walker38 said:I honestly think he just burned out being stuck behind Lewis for years. Like, you give it everything, you absolutely kill it on the track, and then Lewis shows up and edges you out by like 0.01 seconds—okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit—but it happens constantly. That kind of thing stays with you, man. It just destroys your headspace.

It feels like he’s gone full Kimi mode lately, just totally checked out.

For real. And on top of that, they rely on him so much that they only give him one-year extensions every single season, while everyone's already whispering about bringing in George Russell for 2022 just to make sure Williams doesn't completely tank.
