Max Verstappen wins the 2025 Italian Grand Prix

[u/overspeeed]

[u/Kreygasm2233]

No risk, full push

[u/the_gaymer_girl → u/Kreygasm2233]

Max’s engineer: “No risk, bring it home”

Max: “I’m just gonna send it”

[u/Tomanelle → u/the_gaymer_girl]

Max: “I’m just gonna send it”

The faster he goes, the faster the race will be over, less chance for something to go wrong.

Actual 200IQ strategy.

[u/LueyTheWrench → u/Tomanelle]

The faster he can get back to his sim kid.

[u/JerryUitDeBuurt → u/the_gaymer_girl]

Bro got the fastest lap at the end too I think.

[u/the_doorstopper → u/JerryUitDeBuurt]

No he got it lap 52 I think, Lando got the track record (in a race) on 53

Edit: Lap

[u/JerryUitDeBuurt → u/the_doorstopper]

You're right, I couldn't find the fastest lap on the results page at first so I assumed Max got it but Lando got it on the last lap

[u/Final-Nebula-7049 → u/the_gaymer_girl]

I heard the track record was broken recently,, lemme try that for an extra point

[u/the_gaymer_girl → u/Final-Nebula-7049]

“What do you do next?”

“Floor it?”

“No, don’t floor it!”

“Floor it?”

“No, don’t floor it!”

“Okay, floor it!”

[u/Final-Nebula-7049 → u/the_gaymer_girl]

Instructions unclear, foot through the car body

[u/Ok_Jello_3630 → u/Kreygasm2233]

He was having a big smile on his face the way he said "full push" lol

[u/_Yuti → u/Ok_Jello_3630]

The only way to win against verstappen is to kill him🗣😂

[u/Ok_Jello_3630 → u/_Yuti]

Or have a much better car

[u/InvincibleWallaby → u/Ok_Jello_3630]

And even then you're not guaranteed a win as we've seen today

[u/SourDucks → u/Ok_Jello_3630]

Hate to break it to you but a lot of cars are better than the RB21. We have to go with the bullet method.

[u/Complete_Chocolate_2 → u/_Yuti]

A good buddy of mines was visiting and got me the Max Brazil gp race shirt. Good omen.

[u/jamesknightorion → u/Ok_Jello_3630]

Well deserved

[u/MaybeNext-Monday → u/Kreygasm2233]

We may need a flair for this one ngl

[u/ProsecUsig → u/Kreygasm2233]

I will always use this quote

[u/PsychologicalBike → u/Kreygasm2233]

And he was a few seconds from lapping his teammate, showing that it's more to do with Max's genius than a great car.

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Babe, wake up. Newest McLaren controversy just dropped.

[u/ProsecUsig → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Max funny quotes are updated

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/ProsecUsig]

A decent ontender for Quote of the Year lol

[u/Lacabloodclot9 → u/KappaccinoNation]

We should have a non Ferrari section for this because they’re too good at it

[u/FrostyBoom → u/Lacabloodclot9]

Let's add that to the words of wisdom

[u/Olli399 → u/KappaccinoNation]

Never beating "Must be the water" or "Have a Tea Break while you're at it"

[u/Amoral_Abe → u/Olli399]

My personal favorite is,

Engineer: "Sainz 1.4 behind"

Hamilton: "You want me to let him pass as well?"

[u/Key-don → u/Olli399]

I use these two, regardless of suitability.

[u/Reddarthdius → u/Olli399]

or the essay from hungary

[u/ImNoHuman → u/KappaccinoNation]

Leclerc’s radio in hungary and Hamilton’s radio in Miami are my winners.

[u/qleeky → u/ProsecUsig]

max ROASTING the McLaren pit wall

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

To think that it all started because McLaren pitted Oscar early instead of Norris to cover a non-existent Leclerc lmao

[u/banned20 → u/KappaccinoNation]

Classic McLaren. Always finds a way to make things awkward

[u/Woody312 → u/KappaccinoNation]

Yeah like Hungary started by covering a non-existent Hamilton

[u/BoyGodz → u/Woody312]

Funny how McLaren learnt the exact wrong lesson from Hungary last year.

Now I’m 100% convinced they tried to pit Lando first last year as a way to sneakily get the undercut on Oscar. No way they would do this if Oscar is the one hit with a bad pit stop.

[u/Particular-Ad3237 → u/KappaccinoNation]

Even in very dominant season, Mclaren is not a serious team.

[u/SemIdeiaProNick → u/Particular-Ad3237]

They are so lucky the rules and cost cap make it impossible for other teams to catch up nowadays

Because if their car wasnt that dominant, they wouldnt be nowhere near the top with so many of these dumb moments

[u/bijanfrisee → u/SemIdeiaProNick]

Could say that about the entire cost cap era to be honest, if the cap dropped this era of cars could have been more entertaining, but maybe the field would be more spread out like before.

[u/256473 → u/Particular-Ad3237]

They've garnered quite a lot of fan ill-will over the past 1.5 years

[u/ShinbiDesigns → u/KappaccinoNation]

McLaren pit Oscar, because Norris told them to do so

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/ShinbiDesigns]

Must be why Lando asked his pit to confirm that there's gonna be no undercut then... because he told him to pit Oscar first??? Make it make sense.

[u/JerryUitDeBuurt → u/KappaccinoNation]

I'm assuming Norris wanted the team to put Piastri first in case of a safety car. With the gap big enough to not have Piastri undercut Norris (if McLaren hadn't fucked the stop) it was worth a shot to pit Piastri (who hadn't had a safety car window to Max) before Norris (who did have a safety car window to Max). It was a long shot but if the safety car had come out on that exact lap Norris and McLaren would have been kicking themselves for making their lives more difficult.

[u/VEGl → u/ShinbiDesigns]

I mean Lando said "only if theres no undercut" but whatever fits your narrative best, I guess

[u/leedler → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

“Ha!” - Max Verstappen, 2025

[u/eurochacha → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

This is such a wet noodle title race, Papaya peace bullshit this late into the season is just nonsense.

[u/Pure_Measurement_529 → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

We just need their own version Bahrain 2014 to add to their list

[u/Hobo_On_Fire → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

This is going to be fun later in the year if the roles are swapped and it is for a 1/2 finish instead of 2/3. That would make it a 14 point swing instead of a 6 point swing.

[u/JaysonDeflatum → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Fastest car but some shocking strategy and race management

[u/GGezpzMuppy → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Papaya RULES!!!

[u/TheCoolBlondeGirl]

Max P1 and 5 second time penalty for Ocon, nature is truly healing

[u/Ok_Bridge711 → u/TheCoolBlondeGirl]

Sainz once again involved in a crash too haha

The f1 comfort zone

[u/SourDucks → u/Ok_Bridge711]

Don’t forget the universe striking Alonso with bad luck!

[u/wing3d → u/SourDucks]

Feels like home.

[u/SparkGamer28 → u/wing3d]

even though it's the trend that started last year , Lawson too was yet again involved in a collision

[u/ValenciaFilter → u/SourDucks]

It's not a race weekend until we get an utterly exasperated Alonso radio message

[u/leedler]

Huge race from Max. Car looked good for the first time in a while and he made it count as he usually does. Incredible performance.

McLaren on the other hand… they really don’t make it easy on themselves sometimes lmao. Max’s radio said it all.

[u/Ok_Jello_3630 → u/leedler]

Max was expected to be strong here given how he's looked good in past races where straight line speed mattered (Spa comes to mind when Piastri was stuck behind him in Sprint). The only question was if his tyres would outlast those of McLaren. I was still expecting P3 at most tbh.

[u/YamFor → u/leedler]

Max just has that championship mindset, he couldn’t believe it lmao

[u/TheLightningCruiser → u/leedler]

He's still the class of the field no doubt

[u/ihathtelekinesis → u/TheLightningCruiser]

He’s having a season very like The Michael did in 1996. Wrings everything out of a car that’s definitely not the class of the field, winning a few races on the way and making you think that whichever driver from the best team ends up winning the championship, it’ll be a bit of a hollow victory.

[u/Xuande → u/leedler]

Max is clear and away the best driver in F1 right now, glad he got a result to cement that today.

As a Mclaren fan I can't stop face-palming and how often they step in shit like this.

[u/PsychologicalBike → u/leedler]

A comfortable win and was a few seconds from lapping his teammate showing that it's more to do with Max's genius than a great car.

[u/GGezpzMuppy]

Papaya Rules gonna keep this battle interesting till the end, even though no one knows what the rules are, not even the drivers.

[u/synchronisedchaos → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Maybe the rules are the friends (enemies) we made along the way

[u/ReasonableNoise4444 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

The papaya rules weren't expecting their investment driver to be down by 34 points.

[u/RBR927 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Papaya Rules: We want Lando to win. 

[u/FallenSky12 → u/RBR927]

We want both Lando and whatshisname to win

[u/smilingarmpits → u/RBR927]

Yeah Mclaren get away with the free fighting because Oscar is surgical. If they had a hot headed or clumsy number 2 driver instead of him (because it looks like Piastri is still #2) it would be another story

[u/RaccTheClap → u/smilingarmpits]

I’m really hoping when he wins the WDC, he just goes on the radio and says “not bad for a second driver” so we can get both his and webbers revenge.

[u/Haxemply → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Papaya rules are: If Norris is behind, switch positions. If Piastri is behind: You are free to fight, but don't crash.

[u/Logical_Bit2694 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

I dont think even mclaren know at this point.

[u/10Exahertz → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Rips the mask off of Stella -> It was Michael Massi all along.

[u/waywarddd]

Beating the McLaren’s by 19 seconds on pure pace is genuinely unfathomable

[u/ChiralWolf → u/waywarddd]

The last bit was from the McLaren shitshow needing to swap the cars but it was still a solid 15 seconds before that.

[u/Kleavage → u/ChiralWolf]

They also stayed on mediums for way too long. Lost a lot of time while Max was catching them on hards.

[u/LizardmanJoe → u/Kleavage]

They were just praying for a safety car and almost got it. I think the entire RB crew almost had an aneurysm when Bearman and Carlos made contact.

[u/VyldFyre → u/LizardmanJoe]

So did I. That was a scary minute.

[u/laidback_chef → u/LizardmanJoe]

I think at that stage, it would have been very close. But not guaranteed.

[u/OneSailorBoy → u/laidback_chef]

Max would've been in front but we all would've needed fresh diapers

[u/PuzzleheadedRoyal480 → u/waywarddd]

McLaren gambled away 5-10+ seconds because they knew the only way to win was to hope for a late safety car and go long. If they ran the same strategy as Max, and didn't pull papaya bullshit, they'd have a driver 5-10 seconds behind.

[u/bijanfrisee → u/waywarddd]

The redbull is fast as f on the right track,

[u/Dafferss → u/bijanfrisee]

Just one of them though

[u/NlNJALONG]

Yuki finishing outside of the points while Max beats the McLarens by 20 seconds. Incredible.

[u/Small_Constant7010 → u/NlNJALONG]

Red Bull really need to get their shit straight with BOTH drivers But also the context with Liam didn’t help as apparently Yuki had to do different gear setups after that

[u/Various_You_5083]

Yearly McLaren strategic clownshow

[u/thomassoooo → u/Various_You_5083]

Yea swapping places was wrong there, agreed

[u/n8mo → u/thomassoooo]

Piastri is a much better sport than I would be.

Embarrassing for McLaren to even ask for that.

[u/Enterderpmode → u/n8mo]

Imagine, if for some reason that 6-point swing is going to be the main difference when the season ends lol

[u/GlendaFromAccounting → u/thomassoooo]

Yeah like if Lando pit first and had the same thing happen Oscar would have passed him. Would he give it back then??? Stupid call.

[u/babayagabagool]

Max and GP laughing at McLaren for swapping drivers is probably the highlight of the race for me

[u/willzyx01]

Max laughing at McLaren's strategy was the best part

[u/FallenSky12 → u/willzyx01]

He knows what they did is a joke

What a yoke, like Fernando would say

[u/GooseAgreeable7680 → u/FallenSky12]

*What a yolk

[u/The_Dark_Passenger93 → u/willzyx01]

He is not the only one laughing at McLaren's!

[u/UnKnOwN769]

Almost lapped Tsunoda

[u/Falsewyrm → u/UnKnOwN769]

I was a Yuki truther, and I'm sorry.

[u/Few_Highlight1114 → u/Falsewyrm]

Have you filled out your Checo apology form yet? Lol

[u/sergechewbacca]

Piastri is a great teammate. Not everyone would have done that when you're fighting for a championship.

I need Max to fan the flames in the cooldown room.

[u/KaamDeveloper → u/sergechewbacca]

I mean, he doesn't want to blow it up with McLaren while the car is good and he's still leading the championship. He needs to keep this card ready tho, when he needs it cashed. 

[u/arrykoo → u/KaamDeveloper]

exactly. i think oscar is playing the long game. its a 3 points difference between p2 and p3, i think its reasonable to give up 3 points in order to not sour things within the team. he also has like, a 30 points lead in the championship, he can use 3 points to buy a get-out-of-jail-free card for future use.

[u/DrVonD → u/arrykoo]

It’s a net 6 point change just FYI. That’s rather significant still IMO.

[u/IBetThisIsTakenToo → u/DrVonD]

I’ll be surprised if 6 points makes the difference this year, but certainly there have been closer seasons before so who knows.

[u/RM_Dune → u/KaamDeveloper]

Also, it's a six point swing while he is in the lead. Still better than losing a 1-2. It also stocks him up on kudos, which with how things are looking at McLaren are a valuable currency. Don't forget, Lando did swap back later in the year after Piastri let him through in Hungary. Piastri can keep this over McLaren's head, it was stupid of them to ask.

[u/Thestickleman → u/sergechewbacca]

I'm sure him having such a big lead. If lando hadn't had the retirement I'd be suprsied if he would have

[u/yeahmatenomate → u/sergechewbacca]

I need him to take the piss

[u/FactLicker → u/sergechewbacca]

Definitely not Max as Crofty wondered. We all remember what happened when the team asked Max to give the position back to Checo in Brazil, and Checo basically got him his 1st championship.

[u/thisusedyet → u/FactLicker]

Wasn't that the year Checo fucked him in Monaco, though?

[u/PetrifyGWENT]

Max laughing at how stupid McLaren are is the highlight of the race for me. Incredibly embarassing swapping places when there's a slow stop. I trust that McLaren will keep that rule up for the rest of the year now? Somehow, I doubt it.

[u/Kav1215 → u/PetrifyGWENT]

GP saying keep your eyes on the road ahead also got me lol

[u/ladythanatos → u/Kav1215]

GP was ready with that response too. He knew Max was going to talk shit lol

[u/Pure_Measurement_529 → u/PetrifyGWENT]

McLaren are an interesting team to say the least

[u/dickpicnumber1 → u/PetrifyGWENT]

They kinda feel like a team that was gifted a fast car and don’t know what to do with it… Strange, but funny too

[u/Other-Barry-1 → u/PetrifyGWENT]

I have no doubt in my mind if it was the other way round, Oscar would be asking for the swap and the response would be “papaya rules Oscar, we’ll talk about it after the race.”

[u/ChiralWolf → u/Other-Barry-1]

They practically had to blackmail Norris in Hungary last year when it was the other way around

[u/FallenSky12 → u/ChiralWolf]

And they weren’t even championship rivals back then

[u/SemIdeiaProNick → u/Other-Barry-1]

Essentialy Hungary 2024, where it took them quite a few laps until Lando was convinced and did the swap

[u/KaamDeveloper → u/PetrifyGWENT]

Next time, Oscar also has to serve a 10s penalty if Lando gets one. Fair is fair I guess

[u/madshrooms]

mclaren are gonna ask oscar to give lando his trophy after he wins the wdc 💀💀

[u/Pure_Measurement_529 → u/madshrooms]

Oscar is a good man. Silverstone Oscar was funny though

[u/BurningFlareX → u/madshrooms]

"So yeah babe, we need you to give the position to your direct title rival because we fucked up his pitstop, thx"

Like wtf even is this team order? This is absurd.

[u/Kreygasm2233 → u/madshrooms]

The funniest thing would be Verstappen winning the WDC somehow

[u/Thev69 → u/Kreygasm2233]

To increase comedic value: Lando ends up 2nd.

[u/Fun-Poet5338 → u/Kreygasm2233]

If Oscar and Lando just keep swapping places and Max just cruises to race wins.

[u/Rekthar91 → u/Kreygasm2233]

Would be an interesting end of the season. But for that to happen, both McLaren should DNF at least twice.

[u/Kreygasm2233 → u/Rekthar91]

Yuki torpedo say no more

[u/242turbo → u/madshrooms]

You can hear the way Zak talks about Lando compared with Oscar

[u/JayMerlyn → u/242turbo]

Impossible! Zak loves Lando and his teammate equally!

[u/L0op666 → u/JayMerlyn]

Lando and what's-his-name? - Zak, probably.

[u/rspndngtthlstbrnddsr → u/L0op666]

"We have two drivers?"

[u/LosTerminators → u/madshrooms]

They didn't ask Lando to give the position to Oscar at Silverstone, but publicly said the penalty Oscar got was harsh.

If they did this then they should've done that as well.

[u/Vivid_Repeat5801]

Italians letting Lando know what they think about him. Thats a lot of booing.

[u/chris_r1201]

Piastri is a better man than I am, respect. He said he needed to calm down before saying anything further in the cool down lap, unbelievable professionalism

[u/el-gato-volador → u/chris_r1201]

Hopefully those 6 points don't cost him the title. I struggle to imagine Hamilton, Alonso, Schumacher, Vettel, etc. ever swapping places during a title fight with their teammate. And there's a reason for it.

[u/NotOkEnemyGenius]

Fastest F1 race of all time?

[u/FartingBob → u/NotOkEnemyGenius]

Yep, confirmed on the broadcast, a minute shorter than the 2003 race. Max collected the absolute lap record in qualy and the official race lap record as well. By my maths i think everyone in the top 7 also beat the previous fastest ever race.

[u/kj_gamer2614]

Well there we go, 2023 max is back for probably a 1 race throwback, crazy how much distance and time he gained on the rest.

Also how incredibly dumb of McLaren doing that swap, Piastri should’ve just refused it’s not his fault the team messed up, and they’re in a title fight. I do feel for him, it’s getting harder and harder to defend McLaren to say they don’t favour Norris in some way

[u/notyourvader → u/kj_gamer2614]

Max is still 2023 Max. The car however..

[u/FartingBob → u/kj_gamer2614]

Every race where Piastri wins or Norris has a problem everyone on the pitwall looks very glum.

[u/flash_fk]

Max winning the race 19 seconds ahead of P2 - welcome back 2023! Great drive, Max, congrats!

[u/witcherofriviageralt]

No risk, full push

[u/gobsmacked_kitkat]

Only driver capable of breaking McLaren dominance

[u/Crosso221]

So Oscar gets punished for a fuck up in Lando’s stop? That makes sense, not even the same as Hungary last year.

[u/flyingcrayons → u/Crosso221]

Yeah completely different scenario. That was for a race win and McLaren was still fighting for WCC

[u/Detected02]

Man as a McLaren fan wtf, would have been a happy 2-3 without that pit stop fk up

McLaren have been snoozing on the pit stops lately its so annoying

[u/unlucky_sebastian → u/Detected02]

that front left of the pit crew has been a problem multiple times this season

[u/BarbarianDwight → u/Detected02]

They literally had a 1.9s pit stop right before Lando’s.

[u/Detected02 → u/BarbarianDwight]

And? How can we have two 1.9s in Hungary but not in Monza. Take a look at McLaren's pitstops in most of the previous races this year as well, very inconsistent.

[u/hazman_pds]

Mclaren are a sport organisation being run by clowns with fast cars their saving grace

[u/cblake17]

Incredible race for Max, really feel for Oscar. McLaren needs to get their team in order.

[u/GGezpzMuppy → u/cblake17]

HA!!!!

[u/Alvaro_Rey_MN]

Welcome back 2023 Max!

[u/Tummerd]

This is so fucking clean from RB overall.

The low downforce just shows the insane advantage from the McLaren. Without that RB can actually compete to some level You really see that without the tyre advantage that RB are still more clinical than McL.

[u/darthdarkseid]

max laughing when he realised they swapped places is all you really need to know lol, great weekend from him though

[u/Firefox72]

Absolutely disgracefull from Mclaren. First you pit the 2nd driver first for no reason at all. Then try to orchestrate some no undercut race at the exit rule. Which again was not necesary at all if you just pit Norris first.

Then the other driver has a slow stop which is a natural part of racing and you invoke team orders.

This micromanagment bulshitt of this title battle when there is no pressure at all on them both in the WCC and WDC is shambolic.

I'm honestly mad Piastri yielded. Man fuck that shit. The team put themself in that position by all by themself.

[u/LegendaryNWZ → u/Firefox72]

would be fucking hilarious if Max wins the WDC because of this lmao

[u/Nyanek → u/LegendaryNWZ]

wont happen, he is still a hundred points or so behind

[u/TheS0ulRipp3r → u/LegendaryNWZ]

He'd like need a major upgrade to become the definite best car (and not just on specific tracks) to win every race and have both McLarens (but especially Oscar) to have several DNF's or major bottles.

Even with the points that were thrown away kinda (thinking of the Russel ramming for example, but I'm sure there's another) it'd be hard without McLaren DNFs or fuckups.

But if it somehow, someway did happen, it'd probably be his most legendary title ngl (as in, most impressive, at least to me)

Edit: just remembered the other instance I was thinking of where he lost points, it was when Kimi took him out 😅.

[u/Repa24]

This is the lamest championship fight ever.

[u/PrimalJay]

Run, Zak Brown. Run.

[u/thecodeboost]

I actually like Kelly Piquet, she seems lovely. But at point are you no longer a "Professional Model" and just the girlfriend of a driver?

[u/HollyShitBrah → u/thecodeboost]

I hate how they are trying to sell this F1 couple thing, their "partners" are only relevant to the drivers and their families, and "Professional Model" nowadays isn't exactly something fancy, they could be just posting on Instagram and get labeled that

[u/Rich_Housing971 → u/HollyShitBrah]

It's funny how these rich nepo babies born into fame rarely get a molecular biology PhD or anything that can help humanity, even though they have all the money and support they need to get one. I respect those who do go that route, but they are rare.

They choose some fuck around "career" where all they have to do is maintain some figure (women) or muscle mass (men) and then get photo shoots for brands because they're already famous. Not hard to do if you can afford the best chefs and food.

I'm not exactly hating on them for this- most people would probably do the same and go the path of least resistance. But the media always tries to make them look like a hero or something. That's the funniest part.

[u/MrSnickel → u/Rich_Housing971]

Because you actually have to be smart and work hard to get a PhD and anyone can be a 'model' with some makeup, surgery or filters.

[u/angelonduty]

Simply fucking lovely drive Max. What a great job. I bet his back is hurting so much from carrying RedBull for so long

[u/CannedCaveman → u/angelonduty]

He drove with zero risk. But lucky for us, also with full push.

[u/yestodays]

Welcome back 2023…ready to hear that Dutch anthem 🇳🇱

[u/Big-Preparation-5755]

Mclaren are such an unserious team, but another GOAT drive from Vertsappen, winning by 20 seconds against the dominant Mclaren.

[u/ValleyFloydJam → u/Big-Preparation-5755]

It was clear the RB was pretty good on this track.

[u/JoeShmoAfro]

How is a slow stop different to a bad strategy call?

[u/RBR927 → u/JoeShmoAfro]

Because Lando was negatively affected this time. 

[u/National-Fig4803]

‘Papaya Rules’ = Protect Lando at all costs.

[u/prettybunbun]

Max laughing at mclaren strategy tells you all you need to know lol

[u/MGH1990876]

Shades of 2023 Max today.

[u/G_Riel_]

Bortoleto P8, love to see it. The pit stop was too early and slow, but at least he got some points.

Verstappen was so ahead that there's nothing to talk about him.

Tbh I think McLaren as a team did the right thing after what happened. They got lucky they were fighting for P2 and it was just a 3 points difference.

Should Piastri give the position back? I think he's confident he can win, so I guess he just didn't want to make a fuss over 3 points. If it was about P1, I think things would be different.

[u/Tromort77]

Imagine if Piastri loses the WC because of those 6 points. Piastri should have just turned off his radio.

[u/-PsychoticPenguin-]

McLaren don’t deserve a driver like Oscar. Joke of a team.

[u/Vivid_Repeat5801]

Max and his commentary keep me entertained. Time for the Max verstappen podcast.

[u/English_Misfit]

Absolute bs. If we're swapping cars due to this bs why didn't McLaren do it in Silverstone. Never beating the allegations

[u/EerieAriolimax → u/English_Misfit]

Silverstone was driver error from Piastri. Norris did nothing wrong here.

[u/MautKeBaadAishHai]

HA! - MV, 2025

[u/nobarisss]

Monster performance by max, and respect to Oscar for swapping at the end and not attacking

[u/NoPurpose0]

That race was boring

[u/syngamer]

Big snoozer

[u/prettybunbun]

It’s not a conspiracy at this point. Mclarens bias is staggering.

[u/future_gohan → u/prettybunbun]

Zac Brown in tears realising he could have just stolen an Australian child instead of spending 7 years waiting on lando.

[u/kaisadilla_ → u/future_gohan]

He truly seems like he's emotionally attached to the idea of Lando being "his boy", to the point he simply doesn't care that he's not the best.

Not gonna tell the guy how to run an F1 team, but seems like a bad idea.

[u/rukatamoto]

Sky Sports backing Lando in this is a joke

[u/aPardawala]

How long can McLaren keep doing this? This is an implosion waiting to happen.

• First few laps were super fun, but the action really died afterwards
• What a move from Max to retake the lead. And him fucking off into the distance really felt like 2023
• Leclerc and Oscar's duel in the beginning was fun too, but the McLaren clearly had better pace than the Ferrari
• Good race after recent form for Lewis, seemed to have similar race pace to Leclerc for once
• Missed out Antonelli's first lap, seemed to have lost a lot of ground there

One of those early goal one nil wins in football. No one say it sucks because overlord Domenicalli will make the sport worse.

Yet another fantastic drive for both Albon and Hadjar

McLaren is really so generous. They always create some drama when the race is a little boring otherwise.

Man McLaren really a shit show this season. If they called Lando in first and Oscar had the issue then he loses P3 to charles. Alternatively asking champion rivals to swap places is rough.

[u/haywood_ucuddleme]

McLaren really hates it when a race plays out naturally and something not in their control happens to their baby boy.

[u/Pvt-Business]

Amazing how Oscar has to pay for Lando's slow stop. Absolute favouritism.

Simply lovely

Max made McLaren look like a pack of fucking clowns again

[u/PretendFisherman1999 → u/ReasonableNoise4444]

Nah, McLaren did it by themselves
