Bravo Jenson 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I honestly can't shake the feeling that Fernando really should have been throwing everything he had at Jenson to fight for the win here, but man, he just made way too many mistakes, so I guess considering how things went down, grabbing 3rd place is actually a pretty solid result

The strategists over at McLaren🤣, it's like they borrowed them straight from Ferrari🤣

Buemi + 15🙏

Congrats Gumbek, but honestly—Massa... he might as well just take a vacation since we’re looking at a rainy race 🙂

Alonso absolutely crushed it, considering all those spins

Massa did an incredible job, too. Even with that broken rear wing, he was lightning fast.🙏

And then who would we even have to entertain us during the race?🤣

Classic him. They really should have handed him a disqualification there. To be honest, he’s pulled even bigger stunts in the past without getting flagged, so I see this as his cumulative penalty finally catching up to him.😁

Michael Lee4 said:Alonso absolutely killed it despite all those spins

Just fantastic, honestly, I can't even remember the last time he made that many mistakes while still being that damn good.

Man, he was flying at the start of the race, just pure speed, but then those spins messed everything up and he got stuck trailing behind Rosberg and Massa, though once he finally cleared Jenson, I’m telling you right now, he had it in the bag for the win.😉

Red Bull hasn't seen the winner's circle in three races straight now, which is wild.🙂

Alonso is sitting at 2-1-2-3👍 🙏
That battle for second in the standings is going to be absolutely brutal.😳

Renault is basically starting to fall apart at the seams. 😲

Gumbek's congratulation to him and to me 👋👋👋

I feel for Lewis—that spin was totally on him, but honestly, their strategy really let him down. Still, he proved once again that he’s the king of overtaking; in my book, he’s the best driver out there right now and a true 'racer.' He sliced right through the field—taking on Alonso, Webber, Vettel, and Button in one go. They'll be feeling that sting for a while! It’s just a shame it's already too late to salvage this season.
Congrats to Button, though he's still lacking that extra edge of aggression—that little bit of "something more." He only pulls off wins like this when everything aligns perfectly for him. Otherwise, he's usually just playing catch-up.

What an absolute banger of a race.... now we’re stuck staring at a massive summer break until August 28th 😢 I’m really rooting for the Ferrari crew to step things up a notch 😍😍 Huge props to Alonso, and honestly even Button—even though I'm not exactly the biggest McLaren fan... 🥳 Vettel just needs one of those wild off-track excursions 🧐 just to see that lead shrink a little bit...

Seriously though, what is Massa even doing over at Ferrari? They should probably be paying him some sort of bonus just to show up. Look, Massa, you're a great guy, but if my memory serves me right, the man hasn't seen a win in two years... not since that crazy incident where he basically lost his mind, right? 🤷 It’s such a shame for the rest of the team when they're dropping points like this...

I mean, what is Massa even doing over at Ferrari? They should probably just pay him in peanuts at this point; look, Massa, you're great and all, but if my memory serves me right, the guy hasn't seen a win in two years—not since that crazy wreck he had, right? 🤷 It's honestly brutal for the team when they're dropping points like this...

Yeah, the break is a drag, but it'll be worth the wait because Spa is coming up next👋
I'm not exactly a fan of McLaren or the English drivers in general, but man, I absolutely adore Jenson; it's wild, the guy just gets under your skin somehow🙏

When Jergović claims he isn't actually a fan of Hamilton 😂

It’s a joke. Every other word out of his mouth is "Hamilton"...

Look, you just can't bring yourself to hate Jenson.

Jenson is the absolute GOAT, and I’m saying that as someone who pretty much hates every single thing about the British and their entire culture.👍

Absolutely

First Vettel starts calling him Lewis, and then suddenly even Gumbek is on board.🤣

Douglas Parker61 said:And then who exactly would be left to keep us entertained during the race?🤣

Honestly, every single time the clouds open up, I just get this pit in my stomach—mostly because I know Massa is going to completely lose track of where the actual racing line is. It’s frustrating to watch. And honestly? They should probably sabotage his car right before the race starts; he’s always faster when the setup is a bit wonky, which is a pretty wild thing to say, I know, but it’s true. Interesting, isn't it? 😂It feels like Ferrari has spent the last three or four years consistently playing catch-up right out of the gate—starting every season a step behind the pack—and honestly, that’s exactly what costs them the championship. It’s enough to drive anyone a little crazy, isn't it?

darkmarlin16 said:It’s simply impossible to dislike Jenson.

Even as someone who usually can't stand anything coming out of England, I have to admit: Jenson is absolutely top-tier.👍

After seeing him take the win today, I couldn't help but feel like he’s just having one of those streaks where luck is right there by his side. It doesn't work out that way every single time, of course, but hey—you have to enjoy it while it lasts.

He’s actually grown on me quite a bit. I find myself liking Jessica even more, to be honest. But once I start thinking about how he landed that seat at Williams back in 2000, and how much he influenced Jacques leaving BAR, I can't help but feel a real sense of respect for him.

P.S. It seems like Jerga is trying to play it cool when it comes to his feelings for both Michael and Lewis, but let’s be honest—his bias toward one is much stronger than the other. And don't even get me started on Mladen... or Renate. Every single time Mladen steps out of the broadcast booth, he makes sure to mention how he's heading off to much better company than Goranin's. Honestly, the way that guy flirts with Renate... I truly feel for him.

😂

Chris Ortiz said:That track is pretty cool, but it’s kind of depressing that he hasn't shown anything in two seasons while BB snatched up two world titles.

What do you mean? He actually outpaced AAons on the track today, even while running on those slower yellows compared to his faster reds.😁

My favorite part of the day🤣
