No no no no no now that I’ve seen this photo with landoscar having a nice moment in the foreground and brocedes in the background staring each other down I’m imagining Nico looking over at lando still celebrating Oscar after his win and how much that would HURT.
like after the amount of parallels in that race it would just make sense that his heart would just BREAK ALL OVER AGAIN from seeing how lando and Oscar sorted everything out so quick.
IM DYING I CANT THIS SO SAD WHY DID I THINK OF THAT 😭😭😭

vro0m's rewatch - 176/332
2016 Austrian GP
Okay I know Baku was boring but buckle up because we have a lot to cover this time again.
Welcome to the Austrian GP! Lewis is back on pole! Very eventful quali session on a drying track. It leaves us with a mixed grid and grid penalties. OH MY GOD MAX IS WEARING LEDERHOSEN?!?! Oh Daniel as well. It's not as funny on Daniel.
I don't know where to go from there.
We see Lewis' qualifying lap. It's crazy because the car is very twitchy and he locks up several times but still manages to end up on top. He does well to catch it everytime.
Okay let's review the grid. So Lewis on pole OVER ONE SECOND AHEAD damn, then it's Hulkenberg somehow, and Jenson??? Okay. Raikkonen in 4th, Ricciardo is 5th, Nico is 6th with a grid penalty, Valtteri is 7th, Max 8th, Seb 9th with a grid penalty and Massa is 10th. Also not that we really care but Palmer, Haryanto, and Nasr all start from the back because of grid penalties and then Kvyat is starting from the pitlane because of a chassis change. That's a lot of penalties. Interesting note on the RedBull front : Daniel hasn't been outqualified by Kvyat nor Max this year at this point.
Lewis thinks the race is gonna be fun. Johnny asks if it's important for him to get the race win here for the championship given both Nico and Seb are starting from further back. He says every race win is important anyway, none is more important than the other, but it is a good opportunity today so he'll do his best. There's apparently been issues with the ultrasofts so he asks if he's concerned about this. He says no more than anyone else.
Simon says the issues with the ultrasofts is graining / wear and tear. Apparently they can only get 4-5 laps out of them which is absolutely ridiculous.
They've also had issues with the kerbs, someone got a suspension failure because of them so that's another hazard we hope won't cause too many issues this race. Ah it was Max who broke his suspension. There were 4 different incidents due to the kerbs and they involved 4 different teams though. So that's not good. Initially they thought some specific yellow kerbs around the track were the issue, but then Nico lost the car and crashed due to one of the regular red and white ones. Brundle and Anthony think it seems to be a cumulative thing rather than a one time impact that breaks the car, as in it depends how old the sensitive parts of the car are. However they also show a video of Kvyat going over the yellow kerbs. In slowmo we can see the car shaking erratically. As Brundle comments you can visibly tell the part that's on the kerb is shaking at a different frequency than the part that's not on it. Then the suspension breaks and the rear right is gone. Big crash. They talked about it with Alex Wurz, GPDA chairman but also track designer, who sits in the FIA safety commission. He says the red and white kerbs are 2.5cm high and the plain red ones 5.5. He says there's the same configuration in Barcelona, but over there they only drive over them for 0.3 seconds. He says the new kerbs in Austria were installed because it's a new FIA standard, and they should come to other tracks as well, but the issue they're facing is the cars stay on those kerbs much longer than in Barcelona and vibrate at a frequency that basically fatigues the carbon fibre which causes damage. No one could have foreseen it, he says. It's a FIA issue and it's not the fault of the organiser. They will learn from it. Ted says the drivers definitely learned that you can go over the red and white ones but not the red ones. Wurz says first of all you don't go on the yellow ones as seen with Verstappen's crash. Then it's correct, short term solution is crisis management aka don't go on the kerbs. Longer term he thinks asking the tracks to change back is not the way because it costs millions and it's up to the teams to come up with cars that can handle that vibration frequency. Uhhh. Okay. Weird take in my opinion.
Time for the race. Formation lap.
Apparently Wehrlein is in the wrong spot and will be getting a penalty. Oh no! He’s reversing on the grid?! Are you insane?!
And they're racing!
Good start from Lewis, Hulkenberg is losing places, Seb is making moves. At the end of the first lap, it's Lewis, Jenson, Raikkonen, Hulkenberg, Nico, Ricciardo, Verstappen, Seb, Valtteri and Sainz. When we come back from the start replays, Max is ahead of Daniel. And Kvyat is out of the race. Raikkonen is closing on Jenson, and Seb is closing on Ricciardo. Nico overtakes Hulkenberg for P4. Verstappen overtakes Hulkenberg for P5. Seb overtook Daniel and overtakes Hulkenberg for P6. Raikkonen overtakes Jenson for P2. Lewis, ahead, sets the fastest lap. Nico overtakes Jenson for P3. Max attacks Jenson… And overtakes him for P4. Hulkenberg is pitting, as well as Alonso. Seb attacks Jenson who pits.
Lap 10. Daniel is preying on Seb. Loads of pit stops. Order goes Lewis, Raikkonen +3.9, Nico +3.1, Max +0.3, Seb +2.3, Daniel +0.4, Wehrlein +7.4, Grosjean +1.0, Magnussen +1.4, and Palmer +0.8. But again, mind the fact that most of the midfield just pitted. Nico is in. It's weird that they're pitting him first… Daniel is told they'll be pitting soon and to push, which is also surprising because he's on the supersofts, not the ultrasofts. Nico is starting his way back up the field. Loads of quick action in the midfield. More pit stops. Daniel boxes. Nico sets the fastest lap, on the softs. Max pits. Wehrlein keeps reporting rain but he's the only one. We get a slowmo shot of Lewis tyres being shredded. Seriously. As in we see bits of rubber flying off the edges. Aha, there's drops on the helicopter cameras indeed. It's minimal though. Raikkonen, who's on the supersofts, is slowly but steadily gaining on Lewis since Nico pitted. They need to box Lewis but they're trying to make the ultrasofts last as long as possible. Nico is also coming fast.
Lap 20. Lewis, Raikkonen +4.1, Seb +5.1, Nico +14.2, Max +10.5, Ricciardo +3, Grosjean +31.1, Nasr +6.8, Jenson +0.5, and Hulkenberg +1.1. Mind the fact that the top 3 hasn't pitted yet. I'm not seeing Merc’s vision with this because if a pit stop takes about 25 seconds, that puts Lewis between the 2 RedBulls pretty much. So behind Nico, notably. Except if they believe he can stay out long enough to 1-stop without being overtaken? Or that he can race his way back up? But overtaking cars on track is generally not your first choice of strategy. The car is not '23 RBR dominant enough to make it a safe gamble. Lewis pits! Oh it's not a perfect stop, 4.2. He's behind Nico on P4. I vastly overestimated how long the pit stops last on this track lol. Max is just half a second behind him as well. Ferrari pit Raikkonen. He's out behind Daniel, not good. OH NO! Minutes after we get images of Seb's (who's leading and still hasn't pitted) damaged tyres, one of them delaminates and he crashes! Ohhh and it's a miracle he didn't collect one of the cars coming up behind him. Ted says he heard the explosion. Safety car is out and loads of people dive into the pits. The good news is that he barely touched the barrier. The safety car is leading the cars through the pitlane so the marshals can clean the pit straight where the incident happened.
And that's how they get to lap 30. Under safety car. Nico leading, Lewis behind him on fresher tyres. (Don't think about it too much.) Behind them it's Max, Daniel, Raikkonen (Ferrari really fumbled this time again), Valtteri, Nasr, Jenson, Grosjean and Magnussen. They're now letting lapped cars unlap themselves. Hulkenberg and Grosjean are under investigation for speeding in the pit lane. And they go again. Lewis was caught sleeping a little bit. Perez overtook two cars down the straight in a pretty impressive move. Magnussen gets a 5 second time penalty for defending with more than one change of direction earlier. Loads of overtaking in the midfield again. Nico sets the fastest lap. (All of a sudden I realise it's been either Lewis or Nico on the podium in the last three races. They haven't both ended in the top 3 since the Russian GP, and of course they crashed in Spain after that.) Nico sets another fastest lap. Hulkenberg and Grosjean also get penalties for speeding in the pitlane.
At the end of lap 39, it's Lewis setting the fastest lap (my autocorrect went for "gayest lap" which should be a thing). Nico, Lewis +1.9, Max +6.3, Daniel +3, Raikkonen +2.6, Valtteri +6, Jenson +2, Nasr +0.9, Grosjean +0.3, and Massa +0.5 gets overtaken by Perez who immediately loses the place. Ricciardo is warned of possible rain in turn 2. Lewis is starting to close the gap to Nico. Another fastest lap. Ted argues Mercedes have to pit Nico again to be fair to Lewis because they left him out and that's how Nico got the position. I'm not too sure that's how it works, especially as, as Crofty points out, it would mean relegating Nico somewhere down in P8 probably, and so losing the 1-2. Nico sets the fastest lap again. They're matching pace. Lap by lap. The gap only moved by 0.039 in 5 laps. But Nico goes wide and Lewis suddenly gains a second. He's close to getting the DRS now. He's told the suspension loads are critical on turn 9 and he needs to avoid the kerbs. Worrying. Meanwhile there's a bit of tyre debris hanging beneath Nico's car that's probably slightly affecting aero. He also has a piece of something broken on the side of the car. It's not completely loose and minimally moving but still.
Lap 50. Ted predicts everybody will be 2-stopping very soon. Nico, Lewis +1.6 cannot or will not close the gap, Max +11.9, Daniel +6.4, Raikkonen +1.2, Valtteri +15.8, Jenson +0.5, Grosjean +2, Massa +2.9, and I can't see who's P10 because Magnussen pits. Plenty of people pitting indeed. No one important yet. Ah nvm Valtteri is in. Lewis is closing fast suddenly. He sets the fastest lap. Is it hammer time? Ricciardo is closing on Daniel as well. And Lewis put Nico in the DRS zone. IT IS HAMMER TIME I KNEW IT! Bono said so on radio hehe. Let's go! He pits first. Not great again, 3.5. He needs a great out lap. HE WENT WIDE NO COME ON. Nico is in. Fuck fuck fuck. It's so much quicker! 2.3!!! Arghhh. He's still ahead. Fucccck. On top of it they put Lewis on softs and Nico on supersofts. Wtf is this. Oh but he closes that gap so quickly now. It's gonna have to happen on track and it makes me nervous as hell. I wonder if they're thinking about team orders. Lewis is unhappy about the situation though. "Nico car ahead, he is on the super-soft tyre. 16 laps remaining, need to attack and pass on-track," Bono tells him. "Why is he on the softer tyre than me?" Lewis asks. "Lewis we think that this is the right tyre to get to the end." The gap is 1.2. 1.1. 0.9. Lewis gets rid of a backmarker. Raikkonen overtakes Ricciardo for P4 as he goes wide. 1. 0.9. 0.8. Nico is gonna find himself stuck behind Max, who's currently leading because he hasn't pitted for the second time yet. 0.7. Max laps Hulkenberg. He doesn't pit. Lewis attacks Nico with DRS in the pit straight. 0.4. 0.7. He went so quick he almost broke the track record. 0.6. There's a lot of traffic. 0.7.
Lap 60. Tough battle ahead. Verstappen, Nico +0.5, Lewis +0.8. Nico attacks Max from the outside but goes wide slightly and can't get past. Daniel pitted but who cares right now. Nico attacks again and this time it works. He's back in the lead. Lewis is going to have to clear the RedBull quickly as well. There's 10 laps to go. Max still doesn't pit, are they planning to go to the end on these??? Jesus fucking christ Lewis doesn't make it down the pit straight meanwhile Nico lapped another car that's 2 cars between them. It's not good.
10 laps to go. Nico is getting ahead. I'm so frustrated lol. Both Max and Lewis are stuck behind a backmarker then he finally gets out the way, Max goes through but Lewis overtakes them both let's go! Time to hunt! 1.6 to go and 9 laps. 1.4 and 8 laps. 1.2 and 7 laps. Massa retires. Daniel overtakes Jenson for P5 on his fresh ultrasoft tyres. I don't care, that's not the fight we want. Lewis sets the fastest lap. The gap is down to 1 second. 6 laps to go. Alonso retires as well. Hulkenberg retires. I don't care, I don't care! Why are they showing us Raikkonen being 3 seconds behind Max instead of the Mercs?! 5 laps to go. Another fastest lap, 4 laps to go. 0.6!!! 0.5!!! 0.4!!! Nico is stuck behind backmarkers, it's time to go come on! 0.3… 0.2… DRS down the pit straight but it's not enough. 0.4. 0.3. 0.2. Trying down the outside, it's not enough… 0.2… 0.3… Nico's tyres are degrading. He moves ahead of a backmarker as does Lewis. 2 laps to go jesus fucking christ. Nico gets DRS from lapping the backmarkers. He gets some air, 0.6. FINAL LAP. 0.3. 0.1!!! OH MY GOD THEY'RE WHEEL TO WHEEL AND THERE'S YELLOW FLAGS IN SECTOR 2 THEY TOUCHED! THEY TOUCHED! LEWIS IS PUSHED WIDE! NICO HAS DAMAGE, HIS FRONT WING IS BROKEN AND SENDING SPARKS EVERYWHERE. IT DISINTEGRATES! AND LEWIS OVERTAKES HIM! AND PEREZ HAS CRASHED! AND NICO GETS OVERTAKEN BY MAX AND RAIKKONEN! oh my god oh my god what is this ending???
It's the end of the race!!!
In the end, Lewis wins ahead of Max and Raikkonen, Nico is P4. Unbelievable. What did I just watch?!
On the radio Bono says it's not the race they were after but good result. Lewis immediately gets defensive. "I was on the outside. It wasn't me that crashed." I can hear him pouting through the years.
We see a replay and I feel like I can see the split second when Nico decided he just wasn't gonna turn. Right before the impact. Listen, here's the thing. They both go to the limit every time they're up against one another, it's the dynamic. But you have to say Lewis manages to be more subtle than Nico about it. When Nico gets it wrong it's more often than not super clear cut. This is one of these times.
Toto is seen banging on the table. That's gonna be a real nice debrief.
We also see Perez' crash. His car wouldn't turn, maybe it's another suspension failure. Lewis is very happy still. You can tell his conscience is clear. Oh fuck no. The RBR race suits have a lederhosen design. Ugly. Lewis shakes Raikkonen's and Max's hands. It's gonna be a super dry podium though. He lets out a long sighing "whoo" as he walks to the timing screen. "That was intense at the end," he says. "What happened there?" Max asks excitedly. There's a short but noticeable pause. He chuckles dryly and says "he made a mistake into turn 1 in the last lap, and um… I was chasing him on the outside…" He sighs. "and I was ahead on the braking, and I started to turn, he [inaudible as the camera moves back]." Max makes another comment and as the camera moves back to them, Lewis chuckles softly again, turns around with his head bowed but a noticeable smirk, and mutters "ah jeez…" He avoids the camera as usual.
There's a few boos as Lewis gets on the podium. Then a lot more when he gets his trophy. During the anthem, the stewards decided they would investigate Nico for the collision as well as for driving with a badly damaged car. The investigation doesn't mention Lewis. Loads of whistling and booing during the interview as well. Rancid vibes as always. The interviewer asks if he knows what it is about. "I don't know but it's not my problem it's their problem," Lewis says. That's not gonna help. It doesn't matter. At the end when they get back to him and she asks what happened with Nico, the crowd gets rowdy again. Lewis repeats : Nico made a mistake into turn one that gave him an opportunity on the outside of turn two. He says he left a lot of room on the inside (true), and "guesses" he locked up and crashed into him. He thinks he might have had some issue with his brakes. She's trying to ask another question starting by "did you consider, maybe, to say, who…" but he interrupts her. "I'm here to win. I'm here to win." That's the end of it. Uncomfy.
In front of the Merc pit wall, Toto, Vowles, Paddy and some other guy I don't know are talking.
Niki says as well he guesses Nico had a brake problem. What he doesn't understand is why they hit each other. When Ted says Brundle was under the impression Nico hit Lewis, Niki says no, the first issue was he had a brake problem. But then why did they hit each other? he says, this he doesn't understand and thinks it might have been Nico's fault. He'll have to look at it again.
Toto is fucking pissed. Ted asks what he calls that incident. He thinks about it. "Brainless." Furrowed brows, closed expression and all. He's so angry. He doesn't say anything else. "Well from who?" Ted prompts him. He says "we" were marginal on brakes, if not completely over the limit. But they couldn't help the drivers (because of the stupid ass radio ban), and Nico suffered a BBW failure on the straight and defended really hard, and Toto is upset. He doesn't know yet what he will tell them. Ted says of course he won the race but it could have easily been a 1-2 (and right! yet another weekend with only one of them on the podium!) but Toto says it could also have been a double DNF. Ted also asks everyone he can about his theory that they basically owed Lewis the win after Nico's undercut. He asks about it in a more subtle way than that obvi. Toto says you can't play chess. Lewis was on a 1 stop strategy because they thought it was best. It wasn't the case so they converted to a 2 stop. Ted doubles down. He says they gave Lewis an opportunity to undercut with the second stop but they brought Nico in immediately thus not letting Lewis bring the undercut to completion. "No you're getting things wrong here, Ted," Toto says softly but firmly. He doesn't elaborate.
Okayyy it's gonna be very interesting to hear Nico's version of things. He's gutted and he says he was sure he'd win and then he lost in the last lap, which he describes as "pretty intense". He also says he was struggling with his brakes and his tyres were degrading which gave Lewis a chance. He still felt confident he could defend and bring it home. He had the inside position. Ah here we go. He says he went a bit deep but it's fine because he can dictate as he's on the inside. That's not the rule lol. Absolutely fucking not. Like sorry you know I point it out when Lewis is full of shit but this time it's Nico for sure. He says he was "very surprised" that Lewis turned but bro it's a corner. That's what you tend to do. Still he says "*I* caused a collision", which is honest. She asks what he'll say to the stewards and slips in the question that Toto called the whole thing brainless. He's annoyed. He says he doesn't know he hasn't thought about that yet he's still frustrated about losing the win. She asks to talk about how he got in a position where he could win the race with the pit stops in the first place with Lewis trying to make the tyres last etc. He says to be honest he doesn't know about that, he was in front, he felt great, and he was gonna win the race. That's it.
HAHAHAHA. God I love Anthony. He saw what I saw. Because he's on the skypad looking at replays. He says it seems indeed Nico had brake issues because in the precedent corner he runs past the apex. But then. You look at his hands on the on-board and that's how Anthony puts it : "it's clear to see that, you know, even if you're running out wide, he doesn't really attempt to even make the corner". And it's true. You see when he gets to the corner, he turns the steering wheel about 45°, they make contact,
and then he actually makes the corner which takes him turning the steering wheel a full 180°.
Ah wow I was wondering about the mistake Lewis has been mentioning into turn 1 and indeed on the replay we see Nico clipping the inside kerb. It's so subtle. What attention to detail it takes. On his on-board, we see he left enough space on the inside as he said and we see him fully turning the steering wheel to make the turn as you expect, or trying to, because they make contact before he gets there.
We also can see that when Lewis tries to make it back to the track after being pushed wide, Nico doesn't leave him space to do so. Then Anthony runs it again from the start. He says any driver seeing this would be asking why didn't you even try to make the turn, brake issue or not.
Back to Simon, he shows Nico's on-board to Johnny. Johnny gleefully says : "I'll tell you when I'd start to turn. Just easing into now…" Simon goes "No." as the two cars collide. Johnny guffaws : "It's about 5 yards after!" Brundle doubles down from the commentary cabin with Crofty. It's Nico's fault. Lewis was on the racing line, he couldn't have gone more to the left than he did. Brundle thinks Nico will look back on it and "realise that his attempt to intimidate Hamilton and run him wide is a critical error."
They're talking with Toto AGAIN. Simon says everybody in the skysports team agrees Nico should have turned earlier. Toto reiterates that Nico had a BBW failure into turn one. He says Nico tried to make the corner brake where he usually does but the brake didn't work anymore. But that's bullshit because that's not what Nico says. Nico said he could dictate the turn because he was on the inside. He didn't say he couldn't brake. Johnny doesn't buy it either. He says okay he had a brake issue but he didn't turn the wheel. They show him the on-board. What a uncomfortable position to be in. "See you normally would start now," Johnny comments. "And he doesn't turn, does he?" We hear Toto dejectedly say "yeah." Again I can't overstate how annoyed he is, understandably. The interview started with the journalist being pretty aggressive trying to get Toto to drop the PR act and now the tables have turned. Johnny says it's racing, as if to temper his mood down. Toto says sure but cars colliding is like déjà vu "and I'm ending up with you guys speaking about uh… colliding teammates and it's absolutely not what we want and we just need to think the consequences from here now." Toto also repeats that Lewis was originally on a 1 stopper and when they converted to a 2 stopper is when the problems began for him. He says the pit stops weren't perfect but they're trying new things but that's not where the race was lost. Simon asks what they're gonna do about it though, as he said himself it could have been a double DNF. They mentioned before if it happened again they might have to start giving team orders. Toto says when two cars DNF like in Barcelona the team looks like idiots. It's disrespectful to 1500 people who are working "their nuts off" to prepare the car. Johnny asks again but how can you control that? "It seems that talking doesn't bring us any further," Toto articulates. You can tell he's this close to just losing his shit with his two boys. They need to think of all possible solutions and it can go as far as implementing the unpopular team orders. Simon asks if that's what they're gonna do. Toto says no, but it's on the table, that's what they're gonna discuss. Johnny asks what they were asking last time they had this conversation : is it not gonna dictate the championship? Toto says the same thing he said at the time : he hates team orders, they want to let them race, but if racing ends up in collisions then it's not what they want. The others are also getting closer to them as well so that has to also be taken under consideration.
Anthony is still playing with the replays and apparently Jenson Button himself reacted to it saying "he doesn't even let him back on the circuit!" after the facts when Lewis tries to rejoin. The thing is, though, Lewis overtook Nico under yellow flags. Anthony argued that given Nico's car was damaged and losing pieces, Lewis was entitled to overtake. I'm not sure that would hold with the stewards. Eventually Nico fell back but Lewis couldn't know that at the time so he went for it. I wonder if that's gonna be an issue. The thing is also the yellow flag showed up right as Lewis was passing by then he slowed when he saw the lights. Anyway he's not under investigation right now.
Nico is out of the stewards and now Lewis is under investigation for overtaking under yellow flags I'm gonna lose my mind.
Ted says the fans told him the track commentary was blaming Lewis for the collision as that's why they booed him.
We finally hear from Lewis.
Brundle asks if he was surprised to see Nico ahead of him after his pit stops and he says definitely. Everything was going well, he was doing everything he was asked to. He says he was "with Nico" and was asked not "to let him go any further" cause he's gonna have to stop (?). And then he himself had to come in. He was battling with the order to stop but he obeyed and then he was on other tyres and he was not too happy about that because Nico was on the faster tyre. "So yeah for sure I'm like 'how am I supposed to get by' with the disadvantage of being behind and then also at a disadvantage with the tyre compound". But he dug as deep as he could and thought "it is what it is, I'm gonna do everything that I can whether it's right or wrong". Brundle asks if he thinks he can take any blame for the incident or it's all Nico's fault. He starts by saying we're biased as humans but also he doesn't feel biased which. Great start lol. He says he was on the outside, he believes he was ahead going in, Nico was in his blindspot so he left plenty of space. He got to the white line, he began to turn and "boom, big hit". "So… Pretty sure he hit me," he says with a tentative smile, "rather than the other way."
Another journalist jumps in. Brundle lets him ask his question. He asks if Lewis was surprised by the crowd's reaction. He says for sure but he has a few team LH fans here and they were waving flags and he could spot them because they were wearing his favourite cap "you know the kind of burgundy one I have?" and in all honesty he only heard them.
He says these things "they're not the greatest" but "it happens." Brundle chimes in. He asks if he thinks it was about him, or "about us brits, on the EU ?" (I did see during the brakes ads for some kind of big talk show about whether or not the UK should leave the EU for wider historical context here lol) "I have NO. CLUE. Honestly," Lewis says half amused. He says he's been up there before and other people were being booed "for real reasons" like "taking someone out or doing something intentional, or appearing intentional", but he doesn't see how they got that from what happened today. Brundle asks how his brakes were because they heard they were both struggling with brakes– Lewis doesn't wait for the mic. He shakes his head. Once Brundle hands him the mic again he says "my brakes were fine." He says there's a gauge on the steering wheel and if the brakes get hot they have to take measures to keep them in the window. He says he will see later on but he's guessing Nico was in the red and rather than lifting (he starts chuckling as he talks) and looking after it, he brought them to failure. Brundle says they nearly collided again when he got back on the track. He says he tried to get back without losing too much ground and he didn't leave any space. He laughs. He says usually after such incidents you try to move over, "he stayed, he hugged the white line" and kind of appeared out of nowhere as he came.
Simon says apparently they met at their apartment building swimming pool the other day and had a 30 minute talk trying to make things okay. Apparently in the written press conference Toto said again they might have to implement team orders and basically says just thinking about it makes him wanna "puke himself".
Well they've waited for as long as they could but we don't know the stewards' decisions. Time to Google. Annnd Nico got a 10 second time penalty. It didn't change the results though. He was reprimanded and received 2 penalty points for driving with a damaged car.

jendo austria 2020 compilation featuring:
jenson being lando's hype man whilst lando rewatches his own quali lap
jenson and simon reminiscing about how lando's p4 is mclaren's highest starting position since jenson's p3 at the 2016 austrian gp (The Parallels™)
"i really want to give you a hug now mate" ‼️
jenson asking lando if he's spoken to his dad yet 🥲
jenson laughing at lando saying "that's why you need big balls"
jenson being absolutely delighted that lando made the overtake on checo not knowing lewis had a 5 second penalty

random but do you have a better source for this image (2016 austria gp podium) https://imgresizer.eurosport.com/unsafe/1200x0/filters:format(jpeg)/origin-imgresizer.eurosport.com/2019/07/01/2629537-54413430-2560-1440.jpg I can't find one that's not watermarked but their poses are SO GOOD
It's not exactly the best quality, but I tried my best to edit out the watermarks:
Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen on the podium at the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix. 📸: Octane/Alamy
#max verstappen#charles leclerc#lestappen#*#my edit#elle.ask#anon#hope that helps#and you're right - their poses are fantastic here#austrian gp 2019

Austria 2016
-I might have Pavlov-ed myself into believing that car sounds make me happy
-Nico Hulkenburg is p2??!
-Why are there so many grid penalties- what happened in this qualifying session?
-I hate watching races where Nico qualifies well, I always have to confront the fact that he actually never stays there in the end
-Oh it’s Seb’s birthday!
-“Could this be the day that Force India capitalize on Nico Hulkenburg’s top qualifying position?” Don’t make it worse please
-Oh that’s not a good start- Wehrlein is in the wrong grid spot
-“Nico Hulkenburg has lost a place or two” :/
-“Jenson Button already forming a bit of a buffer for his former teammate” Yay DRS train
-Aah Nico vs Nico
-“Hulkenburg’s lost two places in the span of two corners”
-Max really be just following the top cars and making everyone’s lives difficult
-Both Ferraris making moves at the same time>>
-Also Kimi p2!!
-“That’s Vettel on his former teammate”
-Nico has fallen to p8. I knew this was going to happen but it still sucks.
-Nico R overtaking here much faster than he did in Canada
-Nico H pitting already?
-“Okay Daniel, we might be stopping soon, push now, push now”
-Very impressed by Lewis going long on those tires and still maintaining pace
-“I do think we need to just keep Raikkonen in mind a little bit because he’s driving himself into contention” Yes, let’s go!
-No way Nico’s taking those tires to the end
-Nice, Hulkenburg’s still in the points
-Nevermind, I spoke that into non-existence
-Ohmygod no wait, Nico fought back
-And he’s lost it again
-Did Nico R just successfully undercut Lewis?
-Ayy Ferrari called in Kimi too late. They were 1-2 and now Kimi’s in p6
-Hehe Kevin being a menace
-Why is Nico H pitting again??
-Seb?? Ohmygod?? Did his tire just burst?
-“Has Ferrari left it too long to bring him into the pits?” Aaah I’m going to scream
-Him just sitting there on the track is awful
-I have realized just now, watching Nico leading this race, that I’ve never actually watched a race where he wins. What the hell?
-I completely missed the safety car pit stop games because of that realization
-I don’t think any of the top five cars pit again though?
-So cute all the cars following the safety car through the pit lane
-“Red Bull sitting pretty, Verstappen and Ricciardo 3 and 4”
-Whyyy is Nico Hulkenburg p16?!
-“There’s some Ferrari hanging off the front of that Mercedes” Hehe
-Yesss Checo! Double overtake!
-Checo practically carried that team fr
-Nico and Kevin getting penalties basically at the same time. Their teammate agenda started early
-Felipe Nasr leading a DRS train>>
-“Nico Rosberg leads by two seconds” Ohmygod am I finally about to watch him win?
-“There are twenty of them on track but it’s looks like there are thirty on there doesn’t it, with the amount of scraps” It really does! With everyone so bunched up
-Checo and Massa have been battling for so long, they overtook the same guy together to continue battling
-“I’m really missing radio communication in f1” I too would like to hear more radios
-“Jenson Button is having a good afternoon isn’t he?” WHY ISN’T NICO HULKENBURG??!
-“Verstappen- the non-Mercedes man, in a podium position”
-NH: “Guys I think I’m bailing out, there’s so much vibration” Ajhshsbsbhsggsg
-Man I forgot about his five second penalty, he might as well have retired
-LH: “Okay Lewis close that gap as much as you can, it’s hammer time”
-Ooh good pit stop for Lewis
-Good pit stop for Nico too
-They really be so evenly matched
-“This is going to get punchy isn’t it” Bring it on!
-LH: “Why is he on a softer tire than me?!”
-Huh when did Kvyat retire?
-It’ll be hilarious if Max wins this race by going till the end on those tires
-Honestly it must be so terrifying being hunted down by both Mercedes rocket ships
-Ah that was a good move from Nico
-Ughh traffic while trying to overtaking must be the worsttt
-Never seen Ricciardo and Button battling before. This is fun
-Yesss late on the breaks babyyy
-Massa, Alonso and Hulkenburg retiring?!
-Yes traffic must suck. I’m pretty sure Nico’s cursing them out right about now
-Ohmygodd no wayyyy!!!
-Checo?!
-“He’s been passed by the Red Bull and the Ferrari as well!”
-How did all of this happen in the last lap?!?
-I thought Nico was going to win!!!
-LH: “I was on the outside. It wasn’t me that crashed”
-I’m in such shock, I’m still reeling
-“I don’t think there will be a hug between the two drivers” These commentators just do their best to add more drama don’t they?
-On the flip side though, Kimi podium!! (Also Carlos points!)
-Ooh this is Max’ second podium (Man’s first podium was a win- how cool)
-MV: “What happened there?”
LH: “ *scoffs* He made a mistake into turn 1 in the last lap”
KR: *watching with interest *
-I love debriefs with the older drivers

daniel ricciardo x f!reader
i think i'm gonna make this a series???? but idk how???
fc: mainly lucy boynton
warnings: swearing, i said 'overestimated' at one point and i meant 'underestimated', kym illman
liked by pierregasly, and 18,865 others
f1wagupdates: y/n l/n on the late late show with james corden in early 2016, months before she reportedly met daniel ricciardo at the austrian gp in 2016. the interview has begun recirculating after daniel revealed dm's that the two had been in contact for two years before they 'met' for the first time.
do we think her cryptic clues could have been a hint to the actress having a crush on daniel himself, or another driver on the 2016 grid at the time?

user1: forget the confusion, i'm impressed she didn't succumb to corden's ridiculous peer pressure smh
user2: fr 'i hope i'm not overstepping' and then he tries to literally pry the info out of her hands
user3: 'SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM, WHAT'S THE HARM IN TELLING?'
user4: also you can't convince me her 'dignity' and 'reputation' wasn't code for 'i don't want to talk about it'
user5: could you imagine if she was talking about jenson button 💀
user6: idk i think 'i'm a big fan of you' ruins that theory, i can't see it being anyone but daniel
user7: i'm so jealous of her if they started dating in 2016 because danny's curly mullet era was MOUTH-WATERING
user8: there were 24 drivers on the 2016 grid and from that 24 around 1/2 could be candidates
user9: can daniel ricciardo fight? i hope he can't
user10: 'he drives fast and he looks good doing it' miss y/n did NOT lie
user11: just thinking if she got this flustered and nervous about her crush on him to the point where she couldn't actually tell anyone who it was, then how did it go when she met him in 2016???
user12: why is nobody talking about how flirty those messages were? 'are you bribing me?' and 'is it working?' THEY CLEARLY LIKED EACH OTHER
user13: the man literally couldn't find her in the paddock and HAD to introduce himself he was clearly down BAADDDD

user15: the one time i decide to go on twitter on the night of the 2018 Monaco GP, it descends into chaos
user16: daniel half dressed outside a club with y/n over his shoulder giggling and still holding a glass of alcohol will never not make me laugh
user17: the morning after pics hit different now you know they'd been dating for years already
user18: daniel ricciardo is one dirty mf using his shoey mouth to snog y/n later in the night
user19: the fact that it was the first time we'd seen y/n in clothes that weren't classy and ironed
user20: idc if she never comments on it but in my head those clothes were pulled from the depths of danny's wardrobe
user21: the way this moment impacted f1 from then was astronomical
user22: i've never seen 2 celebs to openly all over each other
user23: whatever you do don't google timothee and eiza ok 👍👍 promise me i need you to do that
user24: i remember the way tabloids were all over her for this about not being a good role model 😭😭
user25: the bisexual hold this series of events had on me at the innocent age of 12
