The Internet's Best Reactions to the 2022 Dutch Grand Prix 

Το άκουσα και εγώ φίλε. Και ισχύει

🤣🤣👍

Ο Πουρναράκης τους τα είπε πολυ ωραία στο post-race, οι τύποι το έχουν παει σε άλλο επίπεδο.

Why are the Greek commentators speaking English?

@@joskimengstrom2853 bro he translated it from greek to English. If he said it in greek you wouldn't understand would you? 💀💀

the wrong way LOL

The only team that's really consistent 😂. Redbull to but damn Ferrari takes the crown

😂 Ouch.

So true XD consistent in being idiots.

Facts. Consistently being incompetent 😂

might be a bit long

3 hrs long?

@@Ceece20 nah probably 4

@Thank me later 🅥 no i don't want to make potato wedges

Damn that will be a 3 part series then!

Well… one thing I can tell you is…. Don‘t become a SF fan anytime soon, saves you a lot of heartbreak

Broo, being a DR Fan is *heartbreaking*

That’s very empathetic from a dr fans whore already in such a huge pain. Thank you 😢

To be fair at least Ferrari has shown pace (well at least before the summer break) while Danny hasnt.

Damn... I'm not even sure Danny was at Zandvoort this weekend.

calling softs when only 15 laps left? defo +200 IQ moment.

Leclerc should be more assertive about his own strategy. Let the team do the work, but say "no" when you need to. Sainz is stronger in that regard

Not as a blocker.

Had he not called softs, Hamilton would have won, he would’ve still come second and Verstappen would probably have been third.

George lost points for the team with that call, no doubt whatsoever.

hard tires are good only with hot weather/high asphalt temperature.

Ferrari were simply slow today, nothing much the strategy would’ve changed.

No wonder his race went backwards from a certain point on...

The second stop was twice as fast as the first one, at least they're improving 😂

They are technically Haas Ferrari

I stopped watching half way through... what happend to mick

@@Sam_8_6 he got to P13 from P18 (where he was after the stops) so it's alright I would say, but without those TWO horrible stops he may would've gotten points.

And two of them happened during the same stop. Granted, it was a long stop so there was more time to mess up :D

They've been a mess during the whole year 🤦

They probably have a few other boxes we wouldn't even think are possible

@@inesx494 right, maybe. I wonder what other ones they have, it is kinda funny to brainstorm :p

We need maximum creativity, put some good story elements in how to ruin yet another race, it's an Italian squad after all! They can do sooo many things to stay in character: Run completely out of fuel from P1 3 laps from finish. Accidentally swap the cars and get both of them DQ'ed. Put fronts on the rear and burnout the entire length of the pit lane. Forget to remove an ice cooler in an intake. Forget to take the tire blankets off. Send a driver out of the pits for the final Q3 lap and forget to remove the TV's from his halo. Forget to do a pitstop altogether and get DQ'ed. Refuel during a pitstop and get DQ'ed. Do a running-to-the-car classic Le Mans start and get DQ'ed. Put a car in the wrong direction on the grid. Show up at the wrong track on thursday and don't make it to the right track until after qualifying. If anything, the season will be too short for them to tick off all boxes.

@@obc_obdo Your last prediction may happen in the next race because they don't actually wanna race there because the tifosi would kill them after the race 🤣

I wonder how Ferrari will be portrayed in Drive To Survive

What happened at Austria?

@@smithcast08 Wait... you're an F1-fan and you're not aware of the shitstorm because of the behaviour of some Dutch "fans" in the Max Verstappen-grandstand? Several female attendees were harassed and treated in a very demeaning way. To the point where they feared for their safety.

@MasterSandman Oh, well I'm an f1 fan who focuses on racing not politics and when that came out people started generalising Max fans

@@smithcast08 Yeah, it's a shame that Max-fans are being generalized on the interwebz, which is why I gave my two cents to set the record straight. 😊

In all honesty, they should ban all dutch supporters for any type of sports for the duration of one year. I never seen so many people become so vile in any sports but the dutch. Somehow they lose common sense at sports.

The new Ferrari anthem is Deja Vu from Initial D, because each time Ferrari Strategy (TM) unfolds I just hear the eurobeat intensify.

dont make it unfair to ferrari

Botched pitstop, unsafe release and overtake under yellows. Apart from that everything went fine for Sainz.

@@Bigheadguyfromsmolmovie we’re not, ferrari are

mercedes took what is called a risk, they didnt have time to box both drivers without losing out, so they backed the one ahead in the championship and thats how mercedes got George to jump sainz in the championship

Yeah, they had way better chances this race if they actually executed. They are better in slow speed corners and slower on straights.

And I‘m gonna be there physically 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

@@Gl-my8fw They were fine at the beginning of the year but Red Bull has blown them away with upgrades while stubborn Ferrari said they want to maximize the current package before bringing upgrades 😂. Really worked out for them.

Looked more like 320 with the slipstream to me

I guess we bring Spa top speeds, there's a bigger heartache there

No he was released in the afternoon. I am curious what kind of punishment he'll get though.

@@dylanvogler2165 My guess is a hefty fine and banned from attendance.

Thankfully everyone waited until Max was coming across the line to light them (apart from 1 that was lit near the middle of the last lap). I will still argue that the track should sell flares in the last 2-3 laps and let them off after the winner has crossed the line. Keep the ban on bringing them in so you can control their release, the spectacle of them is like nothing else, so I think they should still exist

@@xlockedbmw yeah one problem with the idea. They smuggle them in by putting them in.. let's say other places than their bags)) now imagine standing next to such flare haha. But yeah I do like your idea, just nearly impossible to enforce the ban.

@@dylanvogler2165 I mean if they're that dedicated, nothing you can do about it lol. But they do need to do better searches. If they're not finding flares, they're not going to find things that REALLY need to be found

They should blame merc not George

@@titancheat exactly. If they pit both it’s an easy 2-3 finish for them. I know they want a win but surely the aim is beating Ferrari now.

They blame him for beating Hamilton. I imagine those are the same people that say Lewis could have won today. Even if he was on fresh softs after the safety car, there was just absolutely no way he keeps that RB, also on new softs, behind for 10 laps.

people tend to forget that LH isn't racing for the championship and therefore has no priority this year. I found it funny that Merc made the same strategic mistake that cost them the drivers championship last year by not pitting Lewis.

Yeah I dislike the notion that George has to work for Hamilton.

How the fuck did that even happen 😂 they literally have color codes 🤦‍♂️

whichever way you put it, on the highest level (F1) this should NEVER happen.

@IGogetaX10I LMAO color blind mechanics 😂 1st valid reason for tyre screw ups by ferrari

It was still a medium, but if it was a Front Right for example , and they put it on the rear right, the FiA would find out(someone from the FiA inspects all 4 tyres after they’re changed) they would be disqualified.

Sainz just being "ah sht here we go again" rn vs lewis going absolute mayham

Sainz when the tire wasn't ready.. "Oh my god..."...

Resigned is the word that springs to mind. Poor buggers are used to it now.

Imagine if Lewis had that team in the pits? he'd never have to take responsibility for anything

It's called being respectful and baking your team. When leclerc dnf'd in france and when hamilton threw away a race win last year in azerbaijan no one screamed in their ear through the radio. Leclerc and verstappen just happen to be less egotistical.

@IGogetaX10I bro wtf u on about, his focus is solely on Mclaren and needing to make sure he's ahead of Norris and Danny Ric to keep struggling

Umm literally just the last race. Dude put his hand up and said it was my fault. I'm sorry to the team and Alonso.

@@TheFarrukhzain I'm talking about videos like this and how people blame everything else other than him. Even last week it was ONLY when Lewis did that, when Matty and Tommy were like: "OH! If the God himself says it, then it must be true. Well, good man, good man." Again, I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. Or you do, but you're proving my point of how no matter what, there has to be some thing excusing him or whatever. When seriously, the blame for this falls on both Hamilton and the team. Not JUST the team.

@@HIPsteHeero well the team said it was was their fault, so no surprise some people actually blame only the team. And also I think lewis obeyed the orders from the team to make that call, is because he only want a win, doesn't even care about lowering the risk and take the podium instead. idk just my opinion

George SAVED a good result for one Mercedes. Lewis could have done the same and gone for softs Russell was being smart, he knew there was nothing he could do to hold back Max and Charles

@@biscuitcase83 EXACTLY my point.

Exactly.

I mean that shows inteligentes and bravery leclerc would have probably stayed out with hard and say "i dont know guy if thats the right way to go" and get Binottos Fingers on his MFD

if both pitted though then I think p2, p3 was on. I think they only had 2 options either go for a win by keeping Russell in front of max and them both out, or go for p2, p3 by both going on softs. But yeah merc dropped the ball on that one.

Has been since Spa iirc.

Did they even mess their strategy really? Can the pit stop mess they had be called a strategy plunder?

@@wombat4191 they didn't make any mistake in the strategy but it's the memes so 🤷

The strategy was good, just unlucky with VSC.

@@gabor6259 VSC didn't mess them up too bad, it only gave max a safe pit, but both Merc were still able to fight Max. it was Bottas's SC that started the whole chaos.

@@Kaimax61 ngl it was george that cocked it up the most. They had a good strategy going, but George going off just screwed the both of them

Did anyone hear the awfully biased commentary by Crofty on Sky. I mean all they could talk about was Lewis and Mercedes. and yes Merc were great on pace but I mean talk about others as well, All they could talk about is how Lewis can win this race. Bullshit bias

Because it's very hard to put a Safety car inside and outside of Zandvoort.

well, that is hindsight and its called taking a gamble.

@@ddha0000 it’s an educated guess and extrapolating from data. There was no way they would keep those positions.

@@ddha0000 ooop found the lewis fan

@@benodaboy And now we know who is the team player and which driver is out for himself. This should get interesting.

@@TangoNevada More like, Now we Know who's actually smart and who's actually dumb enough.

I don’t get it. Merc did not make a bad decision. But the British media of course will blow it up because their dear Lewis did not finish higher than George

​@@blizzard6741 you do know that George is also british

@@Tea-vf9gh George isn’t British like Lewis is as far as Sky Sports is concerned.

Nothing Mercedes would have done today would have prevented Max from winning. Even without the VSC and the SC, if Max had stopped for Mediums or Softs with 20 or 15 laps to go he likely still would have caught them.

Then why didn't they pit Lewis, problem is they had two choices. 1) leave both out and go for the win even if it isn't likely. 2) pit both and take 2nd and 3rd. What they did was just take Lewis off the podium. What they did was just leave Hamilton to fail.

Yeah as a bottas fan its been pretty painful. Seems that the car just hasent kept up with everyone elses development. Zhous not been doing well as the seasons progressed as well. Atleast alpha romeo is mostly ignored by f1 so we arent constantly reminded

@@GonzoDonzo While the Alfa Romeo performance slipped a bit I think the main problem have been the way too many DNF's.

Bottas has got to be the most unlucky driver of this season.

Man, as an AR supporter I am devastated by the numbers of reliability DNFs they've had

Valteri "DNF" Bottas and his teammate Zhou "DNF" Guanyu

it was indeed the differential, fia already published it

Some girl in the highlights video said he got scared because Sato had a wheel problem earlier 😂😂. Yeah he got scared just because Sato is Japanese 😂😂, he watches people in F1 crash and make mistakes with wheels all the time but because Sato is from Japan he got scared LMAO.

I like you funny words magic man.

He was 2 laps down, no chance of scoring points. The right thing to do was retire the car, instead he goes back out and doesn't last 4 corners and brings out a VSC ruining other teams races. This is why top teams don't want new teams coming in. Not because they are threated by the competition, because they don't want back markers plodding around the track and ultimately ruining races and strategies for teams up front.

🤓

10 consecutive points finishes

they were hence why they started on the mediums.

Mercedes'

Did anyone hear the awfully biased commentary by Crofty on Sky. I mean all they could talk about was Lewis and Mercedes. and yes Merc were great on pace but I mean talk about others as well, All they could talk about is how Lewis can win this race. Bullshit bias

@@aishwarygaonkar4937 lewis is the star of f1 so it makes sense for them talk about him.

Agreed! I think not pitting Lewis was poor judgement, a comfortable p2, p3 lost

Yes, but having 2 mercs in front can give the opportunity to block others; If one merc is trying to overtake the over, there's no place for ver to go through. Or the 2nd merc can be slow (kinda like perez in abu dahbi 2021), stuff like that. There was some chance they could keep 2 podium finishes. A win was most likely out the windows, and putting them both on soft was probably the best option (though red bull and ferrari maybe wouldn't have pitted and gotten track pos), but allowing one driver to pit was the stupidest thing they could and have done. Both option had the opportunity to be a 2-3 and they took the one that garanteed not a 2-3. Merc really isn't good in split second decisions

At that point the strategy blunder was actually Hamiltons - it wasnt necessarily such a bad idea to pit George and keep Lewis out anyways, but Hamilton shouldn't have restarted in such an obvious place, it stretched out the field and gave George no opportunity to attack Max - he should've coordinated more by looking in his mirrors to restart when George was closing in on Max so George could attack Max and force him to defend, that would've been the one chance they had at a victory after the VSC happened, if Max had to defend the restart against George and couldn't focus properly on attacking Hamilton on the first lap.

I like how everyone keeps mentioning "it's hard to make strategy calls when you're in first" when Max and RB did just that. Both realized they'd be sitting ducks on Hards with two Mercs on Mediums behind them. They made the call, and Mercedes failed to react. It's not quite Abu Dhabi this time, because Max made the move in front of them. They sat on their hands relying on strategy that worked when their car was the best on the track, and they had a rear gunner. George is not a rear gunner though. He knew the Mediums were spent forced the pit, because that's what Champions do.

Yeah if they wanted to cause a VSC or SC then why would they have called him again to the pits ?

Yeah right.

As far as I understood he was struggling on the tyres

@T3000 Mick really doesn't struggle with tyres at all. You don't watch the race and stop spreading BS.

@@runninginthe90s75 how would you know if he watched the race for a start

considering Lewis sacrificed a number of races this year to run different setups, i guessing Lewis thought they were meant to work as a team. I guess george showed his colours today. merc completely messed up.

@@ddha0000 if merc did nothing and did as Lewis wanted they would of finished 3rd and 4th at best

@@ashleyw6728 wrong

@@brianNJwatson why is that wrong

@@ashleyw6728 yes, in hindisght. but nobody knew that at the time. Toto said they kept lewis out to fight for the win but that makes no sense if you remove the guy between him and max. if they wanted to gamble, you keep both cars out.

When an unstoppable force meets and immovable object

Well B, but it was close!

Absolutely! I would love to see more of a close battle between those 3 next year.

I did. 3 teams ion podium, Mercedes could end up winning, was the call for red bull for hard a mistake?, different strategies, safety car thrown in the mix to change it all up having 3 teams yet again battling, challenging track

I mean crying is Lewis' specialty, so no suprise his fans follow suit.

Hehe 7x WDC

People are still in Bottas mindset. I actually applaud Russel to think on the fly

so you want merc to just play safe and not take the risk for the win? they absolutely should have kept both drivers out and worked as a team. you know if it was RB on that position, Perez is absolutely getting sacrificed to help Max win.

@@ddha0000 no one can fight a faster with burnt tyres. The difference is, RB compromises track position, puts faith in Max and gives him the best tyres/ strategy. Meanwhile Mercedes lost the gamble same as Hungary 2021, because somehow they have more faith in a track position than the guy who got them 8 team titles 🙄🤦‍♂️

Agreed... no number 1 and 2 drivers at Mercedes this season. George is even ahead of Lewis in the standings.

@@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168 it easy to have faith in the driver when you have the fastest car dude. when this is your first chance all season to win a race, you have to gamble.

Exactly.

well said

Yes anyway to justify Ham lost. Nothing wrong in Perez defending Max to the hilt but with LH he’s driving against every driver including his team mate.

Lewis wasn't out of line for being frustrated everyone else was softs and merc left him on mediums? Pretty obvious had they both been on softs would have been most likely, p2, p3. I agree Russell did exactly the right thing however. But yeah with his pace and being on softs highly deluded to think he would not have likely got p2

@@ronaldmarcano5648 he spent a decade as number one. Why should russel not have stopped. They wouldn't have won either way.

Merc should have had a 2,3 minimum but because they didn’t pit the front driver first (arguably the faster of the two) it was strange they didn’t tell Lewis George pit till after it was too late

@@S1L3NTK1LL3R51 That's odd because Russell was definitely faster during the stint before the safety car. They both were free to chose what to do about tyres...George chose correctly

All he did was loosen them. The FIA have handed him a reprimand and deemed it a differential failure as the cause of the DNF.

@@themarauder6108 Bullshit. He undid them and then they had to refit them at the pitstop. He and the team just claimed he loosened them so as not to get the full reprimand for driving with the belts undone. Even Jenson Button alluded to that being the case but didn't actually say it during the commentary. It is slightly possible he could lift the adjusters to loosen the belts, but in practice it isn't possible for the driver of an F1 car to be able to reach those.

@IIvelocityII keep coping

Thanks for bringing this up. His pro-MB stance is incredibly irritating. He apparently is unaware that his commentary is also played for millions of non-UK viewers. BTW, the whole Sky team is guilty.....

Breaking news British news Channel is biased towards Britain!

I enjoyed the multiple laps of commentary regarding how Max didn't have the pace to get around George... only to see him breeze George like he was still in a Williams.

Ferrari will be luck to get a 5 - 6 finish, and that's if they don't screw up strategy which is inevitable.

Probably a 1-2 RB with LH or GR P3, or Max wins with Mercs 2-3

Did anyone hear the awfully biased commentary by Crofty on Sky. I mean all they could talk about was Lewis and Mercedes. and yes Merc were great on pace but I mean talk about others as well, All they could talk about is how Lewis can win this race. Bullshit bias

@@aishwarygaonkar4937 I'm watching on Sky Germany, so no, I didn't hear it, sadly. Though to be fair, if it wasn't for VSC and safety car, Hamilton actually had a reasonable chance on the race win

@@HumanDevilTV yes he did have a good chance to win, but I mean that doesn't mean Crofty and team should just ramble on all about that only. Ferrari and RB and other mid field battles were also in the race. They didn't talk about Alonso for even few minutes who had a splendid race. Great for you you watch Sky Germany, atleast you are free of this British bias commentary. I have heard F1 TV has a different set of commentary team, hopefully that's better

George knows that if he's going to play a Bottas role, he's going to end up like Bottas....

@@Daxboy16 exactly. Thank God we are gonna finally see Russell take charge at Mercedes. I hope he wins Suzuka or Singapore.

@@JaggerDaBombs Oh my bad I don't go on Twitter or TikTok so I'm an idiot 😂.

@@JaggerDaBombs You're right I see people thinking Yuki stopping was rigged 😂, I'm really a dumbass.

except that this time Max was in hamilton's situation: ahead, accepted to pit to get fresh soft tires, accepting he would lose track position. Hamilton decided to stay on track (I mean his team). Red Bull are consistently taking the right calls.

@@Dandyphonic for sure, I think the mindset of red bull and max works great in this way. They almost always prioritize putting him in a strong position to be faster and pushing instead of forcing him to be slower and have to defend, which works great with his aggressive style and his incredible pace.

@@Dandyphonic i mean you really cant blame Mercedes for making a bad call last year. And also max in Zandvoort was unstoppable, maybe that's why max accepting to lose a track, because he know he can overtake lewis in no time, he literally have like 20 laps to go.

From what I've heard they were brought to the police station

I read on RTL they have been banned from the Dutch GP and they have both been under arrest (currently on release while awaiting their case).

If I was Lewis, I'd go to a quiet and dark room with padding to just scream and start swinging at the walls😂

Its not masi maybe

He could have demanded sorlfts like Russell and max did. They didn't leave it fully up to the team

@@Gl-my8fw The strategy was to leave Hamilton and Russel in front of Verstappen so that Russel could hold up Verstappen. Hamilton even asked to pit for softs but Merc said nope and when Russel asked for softs Merc said yes and messed up the strategy of leaving Russel in between Hamilton and Verstappen

I mean he was like that since the rosberg times monaco staying out under sc to get track position but now with max and a slower car its not possible anymore

I thought it was also hilarious when Max finished the FIA ignited 100 of the biggest flares to celebrate 🤡

@@GTE_Channel why the clown emoticon? Thats almost like in abu dhabi. Its done by professinals so I dont see the bad point of it

He's absolutely the most unlucky driver this year.

Well there are more than three teams

@@maxdenbreejen9844 I mean teams that could compete with what Red Bull were brining.

Because he was leading and if he boxes, no one behind him does and he loses massive track position with very few laps left. If he doesn't pit, they all do and end up tucked behind him on fresh tires. It's kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. Which is why there is a discussion about not being allowed to change tires during a Safety car or VSC. Because it puts the leader at a big disadvantage no matter what he does. It was very easy for Russel to decide to pit after Max did. And then everyone else followed suit.

@@TangoNevada no, like I said, redbull is not gonna let max on used hards when hamilon would've pitted. so max and Russell would still pit no matter what Lewis would've done.

@@brentvanderschelde I don't understand your comment. Lewis, leading the race did not pit. That's the point. For the drivers behind him it was very easy to do the opposite of whatever Lewis did. "Red Bull is not gonna let max on used hards when Hamilton would've pitted" But Hamilton didn't pit?? So I think I am missing your point. If Lewis Pitted and none of the other top 6-10 drivers did in response, Lewis would have lost major track position with very few laps left. So lewis was screwed either way, no matter what he did. Either way, Max was winning that race once the final safety car came out. To be honest, he was probably going to win it regardless. The best Lewis could have hoped for was second, but the team strategy ruined that.

@@TangoNevada what I mean is that even if Lewis would have pitted, I think it more than possible that max and Russell and even the other behind them would have pitted aswell, merc know how fast the redbull is. I think that max would've won either way, even without thr safety car I think he would have catches up and overtake hamilton. I just think that thr best thing ham and merc could have done was to pit ham. like I said, I think whatever hamilton did, pit or not, everyone behind, at least the ones concerning hamilton, would have pitted

@@brentvanderschelde They may have, I would have to look at the times, but basically the top ten pitted, if Lewis did and they didn't, Lewis would have come out well down the grid and given up serious track position, while those up front would be fighting on basically equal tires. No way in that many laps Lewis would gain that much track position on that track. At best, he would have been able to get back to 4th place.

I have read that the wrong tyre was in the tyre warmer. Sounds plausible as it is Ferrari after all.....

You mean Max. The mercs are often out in front of Perez, and Max is the only one standing between them and their first win of the year.

_Gasly "accidentally" going wide through the final corner in Qatar last year while Max was chasing him_ Alpha Tauri is a great team, but it does seem unfair that one company owns two teams.

A nice sentiment to read. And given the questionable circumstances of last year it will be nice for this championship that Max can really celebrate and take pride in his mature drives this season.
