The Funniest Tweets from the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix 

fr, it's the 2nd to last lap of the race, charles is 2 seconds behind max, and the camera cuts to max weaving down the back straight like it was some kind of warm up lap.

I thought it was kinda sad; seeing the total lack of competition at the front sucks for me.

​@@sayceroyeah all the new viewership won't be around for much longer with such ridiculous scenes like that week in week out

@@saycero Sad to see best F1 driver at work in one of the best cars....

​@illbeV this has always been formula 1. Differences are, that Checo in that Redbull is very beatable. Max is not

I listened to that radio clip as soon as it came out on the lap by lap and I just lost it 😆

…and that’s why he’s GOAT material

And they both made the right call! 😭

That chat will be in our driver ratings video on Tuesday! We've already recorded the main podcast for tomorrow :D

@@mattp1tommy great :D

yeah, therefore I would wait longer for the funniest tweets

​@@mattp1tommymatt don't wear the red bull clothes to jinx them, if any thing , it's making them hungry and win more races and increase their power level , over and beyond 9000

I am too lazy to make a meme. But I foresee someone making one with a cap america endgame with Ocon’s head. Caption: “Esteban stay within the track limites”. Captain Esteban: “No, I don’t think I will”

Nah max was taking the piss when he decided to pit for fastest lap 20+ seconds ahead

*Rainier Wolfcastle That's The Joke meme*

@@essameewane6519 bro missed the joke

@@affectedrl5327 I know the joke but why did he go for the fastest lap let somebody else go for it

​@@essameewane6519why not take every point you can?

with more than 1200 cases of Tracklimits.. the Stewards had a whole lot of Work to do. So its no Miracle that they couldnt finish that within Time.

It's absurd that drivers who earn so much kant keep it within track limit. Like a priest that can't keep it in his pants.

​@@zordiark9673Yes, and I get that. I can understand that the FIA couldn't work out all those things during the race, but the fact that the whole track limits debacle could result in the FIA having to go through 1200 possible track limit breaches is ridiculous to me.

Cars too wide

@@Umar-gw6fy Nah, if an indoor kart is 1/3 the track width, I can keep it out of the wall. At T9+10 they have like 6 car widths to the apex.

You posted this right as it came out so you can't have watched the whole thing.

@@BLADE_RISEwhy does it matter

@brad9959 I'm just saying it mate it's not a big deal but my point stands and the original comment it kinda stupid, yes it was a good episode but as I said my point stands.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@BLADE_RISEhey bro the sky is blue, I’m just saying it mate it’s not a big deal but my point stands

@@BLADE_RISEI’m with Brad, and I haven’t watched the rest of it either.

I get that it’s funny, but his constant complaining about Max is getting a little tiring…he can at least show a little appreciation for what he is doing. We are getting a front row seat to F1 history, and this is coming from a Norris fan.

@@mamavswild I feel like he shows in many ways that he appreciates what Max is achieving, but this is entertainment channel first and foremost and relatability matters. If anything I still remember the days when they were complaining about Hamilton dominating .D and we all did as we all do now. So I guess agree to disagree, since I think a lot of people can both appreciate what dominating drivers do but also acknowledge at the same time how much it costs in entertainment value

​@@nettleciderverstappen has completely dominated in whatever condition this season.. Something that Hamilton couldn't do.

well he didn't lead every lap

I mean did you watch the gp really ? Cause he didn't lead every single lap

I love how when Lewis did this stuff, it was all the car, but with Max it's the driver. I think it's because of all the racism that pours out of this sports pores.

@YoChillMyGuy and that is relevant how? has absolutely nothing to do with a verstappen having the balls to risk an overtake by Leclerc just to get that fastest lap

@@joshn1678 You're absolutely right, no one seems to notice that the Red Bull is a rocket ship.

@@joshn1678 lewis never did this kind of stuff, as in box to set fl in the last lap, and then casually warm up the tires, as if the opponent isn’t almost in drs range… this has nothing to with verstappen > car or hamilton

​@@joshn1678When you run out of good arguments, you can always still draw the race card...

nah it is called bias. fia will do anything for redbull and aston

Aston Martin was back to the midfield for the Austrian GP. Ferrari didn’t screw itself so that was interesting and mclaren is moving up.

​@@shu6037that's a stupid statement. If anything FIA is far more biased towards Mercedes. Definitely not towards AM.

@@Whatreally123 in saudi aston didn't serve 5 second penalty properly and due to that they got 10 second. fia removed alonsos 10sec penalty after the race giving him the podium from merc. in australia alonso was tapped at the last lap restarts and lost a lot of places. then fia cancelled that lap progress and gifted them another podium. in canada hulkenberg conveniently got a penalty after qualifying and removed from 2nd position from front of alonso to the back. and now in austria they cherrypick track limits after the race and give aston more points. picture is clear. there is aston bias here. saying there is merc bias is a moronic statement.

@@shu6037 Saudi the FIA was at fault as clearly highlighted by AM. They weren't consistent and that's why the penalty was overruled and cos of any favouritism. And they cherry picked track limits in Austria? It's been in place for a long time. You come across as a butthurt Lewis fan (might not be). Alonso, Max and many others kept it within the limits. Just that some drivers couldn't keep it within limits and crying about it. There was no cherry picking. So many drivers from different teams were handed penalties. You want to talk cherry picking, then go back to Bahrain 2021. Lewis was going beyond the track for almost 20 laps and when RedBull told Max to do the same, the stewards introduced track limits mid race. That was blatant favouritism. Not like here in Austria where it has been in place for a long time.

They policed and deleted times all weekend including the P1 session, you gotta learn sometimes.

@@florisbackx1744 The drivers know the white lines are the limits. Anyone out of the 100,000 that have driven on Austria on the F1 games know the track limits, I know the drivers do. They just wanted to be faster but it didn't work in the end

Haas was cutting corners, I guess

35 if we include the penalty during the race for an unsafe release

He was able to weave on lap 70 to warm up the tires for the attempt (and inevitable success) at fastest lap on lap 71. Charles was impotent to do any damn thing about it from only 3 seconds behind.

And they let him! It was Extra special. that they let him take it away from Perez.

​@geniferteal4178 I mean last weekend or before that Christian was basicly saying that max and his engineer are basicly a married couple the engineer was basicly begging your getting it anyways don't take this risk😂 and he still did i don't even think its to have the point to be honoust he is just that pure a racer that he wants to try if he can I love it

@@timvansurksum Yes that too he wanted to point regardless but it was extra special because he took it away from Sergio.

@@sheldoniusRex Imagine being LEC racing your heart out and Max just comes out of the pits and starts casually massage his tyres until they are just right to be finished with a cherry on top...and then he deploys his battery...

Checo is very beatable in the same car. Max, entirely different animal

The car is tailored to him and he is the golden boy at RB, wouldn't expect anything less. If he'd be in the ferrari or merc he'd be where leclerc or ham are right now.

​@@iSkyline1no shit red bull knew what needed to be done to beat mercedes and them and honda have came out with an unbeatable package. Adrian Newey is a genius with his design it's the ultimate combination of great team work like in the ferrari and mercedes hey days just sit back and enjoy the ride

⁠@@iSkyline1 Of course the car is tailored to him, but less than you think. Hamilton’s car was tailored to him too, even already at McLaren. Hamilton would have had zero titles if not driven for the Greatest F1 Team Of All Time.

the car is, ita impossible to judge Max until he has a top teammate, which his dad will never allow RB to do.

The stewards kept that party going till like 30 mins ago lol

This year it was totally overkill.

​@@soundscape26isnt staying within the lines the most simple rule of racing? Its not like the track changed since last year. I get that there is an issue with the lay-out as it is, but be that as it may, if the drivers can keep it within the lines they should slow down.

@@DenDave_ I think they increased the policing on those 2 corners this year. And yes, I would say it's an easy rule if not for the 1000+ infractions we had yesterday. Turn 4 was also infringed a lot but for some reason they didn't bother with that one.

@@soundscape26 Yea the amount of incidents was totally ridicilous, clearly something needs to be changed. But that isnt as easy as it sounds as there are other parties involved who do not want a gravel track for example. This isnt the first time that there was an issue with a track, and it wont be the last time either. The FIA can't well say ''alright then guys, you can go beyond track limits here'', that will set a dangerous precedent. They literally and figuratively have to draw the line somewhere, and its up to the drivers and teams to roll with the punches

the winning car used a 3 stop strategy

@sniper6031 Because it's a RB and it doesn't matter in 2023 what strategy they go with. :D

​@@sniper6031One of those stops was out of pure luxury to get the fastest lap, and one the team even didnt want to do, thats entirely different from making a 3-stop your strategy

of course!

There's always love for Charles from Max fans.. some Charles fans tho, still bring up dumb arguments, like Charles would beat Max in the same car, unnecessary & just plain wrong

@@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168If the two were in identical cars apart from balance then I believe that their fights would be too close to call.

@@bp6716 didn't expect to see a fellow Levy supporter in an F1 chat.

@@jamesmaskell3743 neither did I, but holy hell, google en passant

not at all haha. When Checo had clear air Charles was literally pulling away by half a second. I appreciate Carlos and a great battle but it did literally nothing for Leclerc it was a 13 second gap and Perez had 8 laps to change it and was still slower then Leclerc. Also if Charles is only good over one lap, how did he get P2 and Carlos P6? Carlos was faster today but incosistent and track limit mistakes are a burden he needs to be responsible over. Charles wasn't faster today but 1000% better.

@@LucasMueller18 ​Carlos was right behind Charles, putting pressure on him, until the double stack pit stop. When he came out from the pit on that stop, he was suddenly down to P6. That had nothing to do with his driving.

@@wallymcguire2033 no he wasn’t after the double stop he was in third

@@wallymcguire2033 please watch the races and remember he was in third but was passed by Perez and made so many mistakes like a lot. If this was Leclerc or max you wouldn’t be so nice they would be scolded for these penalties but not Sainz since he was closer to his teammate. Ridiculous

@@LucasMueller18 You don’t even know what you are talking about. Lap 13 Sainz was .338 behind Leclerc. Lap 14 he asked to have a shot at Verstappen because he had better pace than Charles but was denied. Leclerc was 1 second per lap slower than Max at this point. Then the VSC came out and Ferrari decided to do a double-stack pitstop. Sainz was right on the tail of Leclerc but had to slow down and make a 2 second gap for the pit stop. Both cars had slow pit stops, Leclerc was 4.4 seconds, Sainz was 4.5 seconds. When Carlos rejoined the race, he was now in P6 with Perez, Hamilton, and Norris now between him and Leclerc. So he went from asking the team to change positions to having his race destroyed. Then he went on to be the ultimate team player later in the race with his battle with perez that held him up long enough to keep him from challenging Charles for P2. Charles has that P2 because of Carlos and Carlos could just as easily have been there. So don’t tell me I don’t know what’s happening. Go rewatch the race yourself and get your facts straight.

And I wish Matt wasn’t so negative about it. ‘It was a great race except for first place’ ‘Is this how far we’ve fallen as a sport?’ Seriously, his whinging is getting old and it’s near constant. It’s not even funny anymore.

​@mamavswild Well that's the sort of crap people use to say everyone Hamilton won though....

@@brandondolan4009 True, but its a bit ironic though that Lewis, off all people, is complaining about it! Anyway, F1/FIA arent helping themselves really. Shot themselves massively in the foot with the change of regulations because of purpoising. Till that point there were multiple teams competing for the win. After the Mercedes outcry, and rule change, RBR has won nearly every race. There absolutely no garantuee it'll be better if another rule was implemented. I would just keep it as is and let it all settle for a longer period.

@@brandondolan4009 Not Matt though

I think the drivers are referring to the winglets on the front tires blocking their view of the line when they are viewing it from inside their own car. From behind they have nothing obstructing their view of the lines when others cross it.

you don't understand simple math

So you're able to see your own butthole??

@@seanpellegrino2989 I surely don't line up my car based on the lines beside my car when driving. I look at the lines ahead of it. They all know where the line is. They are just trying to push it far as they can.

@MrBashem it's sort of a weird comparison for you to mention your own road car and how you drive in order to back up your belief about how F1 drivers operate their cars. They honestly do have a blind area over the tires thanks to the winglets, and while they don't look over them directly, they pick up cues from their peripheral vision to judge where to steer the car. Those lines would appear in their peripheral vision more easily if the winglets weren't there.

To be fair, Carlos can’t really speak English, so who knows what he meant.

@@sebastianalhares Every driver on the grid can speak English at least quite well. Yeah he's not a native speaker, but he knows what he's saying

@@sebastianalhares What do you mean? Carlos is fluent in English. He just has strong accent and uses some stock Spanish phrases such as "stop inventing", which mean slightly different things in English.

@@sebastianalhares True, I did think about that but eh figured i'd say something anyways. He probably meant something different but in the heat of the moment anything can come out lol.

Eh I would say that in the race they were too close for Ferrari to make a call. It was so close between the different stints with one being ever the slightly faster than the other

Also Silverstone 2022. Pretty much the same situation but reversed except Leclerc was leaps and bounds faster even with a damaged wing.

Yet everyone targeted Hamilton for complaining about track limits and calling him a whiner we know he can be like that sometimes but other people that race complained aswell

The winglets on top of the tires obstructs the view for the drivers and the white lines are below them, so they cannot see them that well. Monaco walls however are at the driver`s level or above, which is why they are easy to see. But anyways it was hilarious to hear so many drivers complaining, I friggin laughed at these memes much more than usual :D

What do you mean? A lot of drivers got a black and white flag (last warning; next one you get slapped by 5s)

And Fernando Alonso also I think. In the race

@@nielsleenknegt5839Except George.

@@bargavrthat’s true, Alonso and Russell are the only consistent ones 😂

Max didn’t get a black and white flag.

Albon explained it, he said it's gusty as hell there and the cars cause a lot of buffeting, so he said it takes nothing to go over the line. It's clearly not the drivers, it's the track being stupid and the stewards being amateur morons.

There are two issues. The kerbs themselves, which give a lot of grip, which is why we are in this mess in the first place as you said. The other issue is the poor side-low angle visibility in these cars, so it is easy to go past the track limits by a small margin and not notice it. I am sure if drivers actually on purpose went past the track limits, they would breach them by a larger margin. But yes, if it was not worth it to on these kerbs, drivers would not do it. Honestly I think they should just somehow make the kerbs worse and have much less grip or something.. Removing the kerbs in the last 2 corners and white lines could work and instead add gravel as a natural track limit, kinda like Willow Springs Big Willow does, but then the issue is, if it is safe for the motorbikes racing here, perhaps not.

Underrated comment 😂

You forgot to change your profile Pic.

U mean like AD2021?

@@jordanb9363 Yep, in Abu Dhabi he also got away with breaking the rules, as always.

@@rdk7010 Right, can't fix stupid

Could you pucker up your lips a bit more? I think Max's ass still needs some more kissing.

TBH Aston screwed up even worse, especially considering that unlike Ferrari they could get at least Stroll in on previous lap.

@@rosgoncharuk2403 Aston Martin have been doing Ferrari's work. Pitting Alonso in monaco on the softs instead of inters. And giving stroll a three stop? That is crazy how can you do a three stop in Austria? Like that's funny

Get a bit of a sniff in at least. VER is the Ferrari moral officer. Can you smell the victory, lads! I even gave you a few laps to lead!

That seems to be typical all-around, whether English fans or fans brought along by Netflix.

He didn’t though, he called the car bad, thus shitting on hundreds of employees, just to appease to the one baby on the team. He should have told him to focus on himself and less on the other drivers.

It's not Extreme, the drivers are. The drivers are saying they can't control the car that small. But Monaco is way more control and they do just fine. The drivers clearly just want to take turns how they do without having the constant pressure of track limits. The FIA followed the rules they made and I respect this. Every driver that got a penalty deserved it. Especially since Leclerc, Alonso, Verstappen and Russel got no penalties and they didn't complain once they were simply the best :)

I was joking about Ferrari closing the gap mate 😂😂😂

​@mattp1tommy Hey Matt. I thought it was pretty obvious.

Aston truly a top team now, scoring points outside the track!

r/woooooshhh

5 sec is 5 sec at the end of the race, still looks better on paper, lol! 😂

Actually, they didn't let Leclerc through immediately at Silverstone in 2022. Eventually, yes, but not immediately. Coming on to this race, one of Carlos' 5 second penalty was a result of him going over the track limits multiple times while keeping within Charles' DRS in that first stint. So, he wasn't really faster than Charles as it seemed. All this while Charles kept it within the limits more than Carlos

They should have definitely swapped them to see if carlos could pull away and if not then just swap them back around, not that hard of a strat for them to do doesnt cost them anything and no crying on radio

@@crow__1769 They are competitive. Fred Vasseur mentioned in his interview that if they swapped them around, Charles would have said the same thing as Carlos. So, it wouldn't have changed anything. He also confirmed that their plan always was to build a gap from P4 and P5. Infighting wouldn't have helped with the plan. So, they stuck to holding positions. Plus, all of us know that neither of them were catching Max in that Redbull regardless of who was in front. So, it would have been a useless excercise. Plus, as i said before, Carlos went off track several times in order to keep pace with Charles and be within his DRS while Charles kept it clean. On top of that, he only got close when they were in the DRS zones. Charles reopened that gap again once the DRS was closed on Carlos' car. Ferrari did a good enough strategy today. The double stack pitstop at the start wasn't good, but strategy was mostly on point. Had Carlos backed off a bit in the first stint and managed his own race and track limits, he would have been on the podium as well. Its easy for me to say this in hindsight. These decisions are always tough for the team

Yeah we saw in the race when Sainz was not in drs and were running in free air that they had practically the exact same pace.

I would say that Sainz was marginally faster in the first stint while the middle stint they were quite similar while Leclerc was a bit faster in the final stint. Of course it is very tough to call because they drove very different races with Sainz battling more while Leclerc could focus solely on tyre life. I think Sainz was clearly better on Saturday and Leclerc was further ahead on the Friday while the race was so close.
