Lost a lot of love for him for that, and also for whining about not getting away with the penalty after the race. You’d expect Oscar of all people to be chill about these things and just take it on the chin, maybe say a dryly funny quip (remember “move of a world champion, that”?).

I guess the championship battle is actually getting to him.

I always think of another New Math.

Interesting. I don’t know that this particular solution seems great but English is a complete mess when it comes to knowing the pronunciation of a word from reading it alone for sure.

On a related note I wish we had a c/madlads around these parts.

Must be the water.

Too often I say “incredible that they managed to squeeze out 8 minutes of highlights out of that race”, but today it’s “I can’t believe they managed to squeeze down all that into just 8 minutes!”

To me your comment reads like: “the on track action wasn’t great, but the race was good anyway because of the story”.

Awesome race, and not just due to the unpredictability and the Hulk podium. We got some great battles, some great overtakes and two simultaneous fights for position right to the flag. And of course pitwall drama aplenty as people gambled or tried to read the crossover. There was so much happening everywhere all the time I’d need multiple pages to cover everything and my posts are too rambly as it is anyway.

Aston killed me with their handling of Alonso’s race while at the same time doing absolutely everything perfectly for Stroll. The old man still has it though, him sliding around on the medium gamble and countersteering snaps every single corner was some insane car control that was absolutely thrilling - but nerve wracking - to watch. And after all that they still finish 7 and 9. Stroll is actually not bad in the wet but man was he slow when it dried up at the end.

Gasly also needs to be mentioned, he put on another clinic in the wet as he has done before on several occasions. Amazing defensive driving (against Hamilton, Verstappen and Russel no less!) and some great overtakes too. Him getting past Stroll on the last lap was so well deserved, especially after fighting that dog of an Alpine all weekend.

[EDIT]: Williams finally having a race without mechanical failures was a relief I somehow forgot about while first writing this post. Particularly for Albon who can finally leave three consecutive DNFs behind with an excellent last stint and a great last lap overtake on Fernando to get some good points again at last.

And of course, the Sauber redemption tour continues. That team is going to be scary in a couple of years. Audi doesn’t fuck around in motorsports and the operational pieces are falling into place. Good calls again, good pitstops and they’re again showing their upgrades working well. So happy for Hulk, he drove a faultless race and finally getting that podium is such a feelgood story. And doing it while starting from the back in a wet race? Stuff of legends.

I mean, I don’t disagree with you in principle but this race had so much to watch man I don’t know how you could say it had no action.

Hulkenberg’s best position in 2012 was 4th.

Last-to-podium in the wet by a driver holding the record for most race starts without a podium. Might be the most DotD of all the DotDs.

Ah! There was too much to watch this race, bound to miss something.

Did anyone see how Hamilton suddenly lost 2 seconds? Was super strange, I didn’t see him go off?

Unbelievable he’s kept it on track though, have you been watching his onboards? Crazy.

It’s a fantastic innovation, I love it.

“Is Alonso washed? Calls for veteran racer to retire as teammate Lance Stroll demolishes him in waterlogged British Grand Prix”

Antonelli has been so unlucky man. Diffuser damage now through no fault of his own. Surprised they’ll even have him try to finish.

It’s not even close to wet enough for full wets. Visibility means we will never see them used as they require conditions that are currently considered unraceable.
