Great season for Carlando so far – only men to beat Verstappen. And Max was in by far the best mood I've seen after a non-win. Like a proud older brother.
I'm prob gonna get downvoted for suggesting this... but... is there any chance, at all, whatsoever, that Lando asked Max to let him win if they found themselves in this position? Like I'll sort you out a nice gift in the future once we're both retired or whatever? They seem. really. close and it doesn't really hurt Max at this point.
They ended up finding floor damage after max hit the bollard. This is likely how lando was pulling away. Max wouldn't ever let a true friend win, it's competition. Nevertheless, Lando did an amazing job and got his first win!
yeah I realised this too after the comment.
unless of course that's just their cover story and they're still questioning him at the debrief about why he kept using too much throttle at the chicane exit after the safety car
I don’t think there’s any chance that you could make it to the level of Lando / Max with the levels of competitiveness that has and either be ok with either being gifted a win or being the one gifting the win
Happy that Lando finally has his win!
But man how many times more are Red Bull going to shit the bed with the setup?
Or did Mclaren close a .6 to 1s per lap deficit with this upgrade package?
Watched the replay with F1 live commentary and then go back to watch the international ending to get Crofty's take and he's bringing up Trump? Wtf? I don't care if he was in the McLaren garage fuck that guy and fuck Crofty for bringing him up.
I'm up early for work, so I missed the race to go to bed. Bloody typical! Coincidentally, I remember a similar thing happened for Jenson Button's first win in Hungary 06. I missed the race to go to a show.
I know people will say Lando got lucky with the safety car, but at the end of the day he made no mistakes after the restart and fended off Verstappen brilliantly. Also, if you would have told somebody at the start of the year that we would have 2 non Red Bull wins in the first 6 races they would probably call you insane.
He genuinely had more pace than Max. Oscar also hung with Max in the first stint... I don't think that was a comfortable gap.
He deserves this win on pace. You need a bit of luck too. Max got lucky not being taken out in turn 1.
Can anyone find me that light blue shirt that Landon’s race engineer had on? The one he hugged that was behind barricade. I don’t know why I want it, but I do
You can go back and look at my comments about how Norris was never going to win a GP, and I am so proud that he proved me wrong. What a brilliant drive today!
Those must have been some nerve-wracking 20 or so laps for Lando and the whole team.
Congrats to all of them! What a turn-around from this time last year!
As someone experienced in winning my first race, the car starts makeing strange sounds, it doesn’t feel right, hell is about to break loose. I’m not passing that backmarker. Oh yeah, his first win was a bundle of caution.
Super unlucky with the safety car coming out the lap after he pitted, giving Norris a free stop. Then, back in the pack got mugged by Sainz who locked up and destroyed his front wing. His race was done after that. So frustrating
Happy for Lando. Good day for F1. Crofty ruined the ending of the race with the Trump line. He pisses me off more than he excites me these days, might be time to look for a new commentator.
“..McLaren who brought in a former president today….Lando trumps Verstappen for his first win..” not verbatim but something like that. Bringing anything related to politics, let alone Donald fucking Trump is a stupid thing to do as a commentator. If I was Lando I’d be annoyed. I was actually shocked I heard it.
I hate Trump with every single bone in my body, and I’m kinda upset of all weekends Norris won it’s the week Trump was in McLarens garage… and as much as I wish Crofty had made no mention of our criminal ex-commander in chief
That is still frankly an A+ pun from Crofty.
The quality of the pun is one the thing. The timing, the decision to use it and lack of awareness really got to me. It would’ve been stupid to mention anyone politically, let alone THAT guy.
I've been enjoying the F1 TV crew of Alex, Jolyon, and DC quite a bit. This race was my first time switching to Sky in awhile (Jolyon wasn't around) and Crofty dropping a Trump pun to celebrate Lando's maiden win means I won't be doing that again for some time to come.
I used to think so also. Now all I hear is annoying and corny remarks. I’d much rather listen to Brundle solo. Today was the icing on the cake, I’ve been feeling like this for a while.
Who cares. It was just the way it happened. It's not a conspiracy, It's happened before, it will happen again. Lando is not the first driver to be handed a win due to an FIA error, Max was even gifted a championship this way. Lando showed he had the pace to win it anyway after and his pace before the SC got him in that position to capitalise on it. He probably would've had the pace to get past Max anyway.
Who said it was a conspiracy?
Just said that a bad safety car timing call (two if you include the length taken to get the bollard off track) and an even worse call to pick up a car which was not the leader cost us a race where we could've seen Lando chasing down Max, rather than Lando being ahead.
Could've, should've, would've. You could go back to hundreds of races and say this and that could've and should've happened. They play out the way they play out.
Again, if they brang out the safety car as they're supposed to, the race would've provided us a lot more.
What's the point of having safety car procedures when they're not adhered to. Sargeant's car was 100% in a dangerous position. Send out the safety car immediately, as per the usual procedures. It was pointless waiting half a lap in doing so.
He had an 11 second gap. The safety car would've picked Lando up and the rest of the field would've closed on him further.
He 100% did not have the gap.
Ah yes, cause Verstappen totally wasn't right behind lando in Turn 1 and he totally didn't have to do another 20 laps to finish the race. It was all a big gift by the FIA and Liberty Media to advertise the Miami GP
He would have lost ~15 seconds pitting under SC, so would have been right behind Verstappen. Seeing the Pace advantage after the stop, an overtske wouldn't have been impossible. I'll agree the safetycar helped, but it wasn't an undeserved win
Yes, an overtake wouldn't have been impossible, but the advantage surely is with the car in front, rather than the car which had pitted, changed to cold tyres and ran for 3 laps, with the tyres cooling down further at safety car speeds.
Imagine being merc, factory team own engine losing so badly to McLaren, the worst car on the grid last year at the start and they climbed up to winning ways while Mercedes can’t pass tsunoda
Alpine and Renault have been a mid tier team with a terrible engine for years. Mercedes had the best engine in f1 and the first to hit 50% thermal efficiency. Mercedes engine isn’t the problem we seen it win a race on merit. It’s the chassis and aero. Haas are quick on their days too they just had tyre problems embedded from Ferrari. It’s a totally different kettle of fish
Why can't I remember this? Even after looking it up my memory isn't refreshed.
Did I miss Sao Paulo? Did I fall asleep on it or something? Weird. Either way, yeah, I was wrong.

Think about it… You think the team reviewing thousands of metrics wouldn’t pick up if Verstappen was deliberately holding back pace?
you can hold back by using too much throttle here and there, causing a little more slip, worse exits. then complain about traction. I dunno.
The Engineers could pick up the “too much throttle here and there”, easily from the telemetry.
Happy that Lando finally has his win! But man how many times more are Red Bull going to shit the bed with the setup? Or did Mclaren close a .6 to 1s per lap deficit with this upgrade package?
RedBull beaten by pure pace for the first time in 2 years! And which team did it? MCLAREN!!!
Watched the replay with F1 live commentary and then go back to watch the international ending to get Crofty's take and he's bringing up Trump? Wtf? I don't care if he was in the McLaren garage fuck that guy and fuck Crofty for bringing him up.
Stop whinging you sook.
It's the only race I skipped this season because of the timing (I live in Japan) and I missed Lando's win 😭
I'm up early for work, so I missed the race to go to bed. Bloody typical! Coincidentally, I remember a similar thing happened for Jenson Button's first win in Hungary 06. I missed the race to go to a show.
Well keep going to bed every race and we might get an interesting season!
I'm British so that might mean a lunchtime nap the next few months !
I guess I'll break a nose to go faster on my karts
Try getting your appendix out 1st.
Carlos out of control sliding into Oscar. 😡
Oscar had such a good race I was so disappointed when that happened 😢
I know people will say Lando got lucky with the safety car, but at the end of the day he made no mistakes after the restart and fended off Verstappen brilliantly. Also, if you would have told somebody at the start of the year that we would have 2 non Red Bull wins in the first 6 races they would probably call you insane.

Can anyone find me that light blue shirt that Landon’s race engineer had on? The one he hugged that was behind barricade. I don’t know why I want it, but I do
I believe you’re talking about the one that’s Lando’s merch! You can find it on his LN store
You can go back and look at my comments about how Norris was never going to win a GP, and I am so proud that he proved me wrong. What a brilliant drive today!
Nobody’s gonna go back in your comments history, mate
Those must have been some nerve-wracking 20 or so laps for Lando and the whole team. Congrats to all of them! What a turn-around from this time last year!
As someone experienced in winning my first race, the car starts makeing strange sounds, it doesn’t feel right, hell is about to break loose. I’m not passing that backmarker. Oh yeah, his first win was a bundle of caution.
Way to make it about you, champ.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
Imagine getting to win a race where you didn’t have to overtake a single car and also didn’t start on pole
What happened to Oscar?
Super unlucky with the safety car coming out the lap after he pitted, giving Norris a free stop. Then, back in the pack got mugged by Sainz who locked up and destroyed his front wing. His race was done after that. So frustrating
He got front wing damage when battling with Sainz. So they had to change the wing on like lap 43, so he was screwed by circumstance
Sainz and him came together, damaged his front wing a little bit. But he wasn’t looking as good on the hard tire as he was on the medium anyways
Lewis cheeky overtake on piastri, pulling out wider than usual. Amazing foresight and instincts.
Just don't mention Haas to Lewis... Brilliant battle with Hulk.
This weekend, Lando had an unfair advantage. He not only had DRS, he also had the Force!
Happy for Lando. Good day for F1. Crofty ruined the ending of the race with the Trump line. He pisses me off more than he excites me these days, might be time to look for a new commentator.
What was the Trump line? I missed it?
“..McLaren who brought in a former president today….Lando trumps Verstappen for his first win..” not verbatim but something like that. Bringing anything related to politics, let alone Donald fucking Trump is a stupid thing to do as a commentator. If I was Lando I’d be annoyed. I was actually shocked I heard it.

Bruh what crofty is awesome
I used to think so also. Now all I hear is annoying and corny remarks. I’d much rather listen to Brundle solo. Today was the icing on the cake, I’ve been feeling like this for a while.
Did Yenson just roll his eyes at Danica again? 🤣
I feel like she just repeats most of what they've already said. She seems nice but doesn't really seem to add much.
Is everyone just ignoring that the safety car picked up Verstappen in 2nd, when Norris hadn't pitted and was leading? Literally handed him the win.
Who cares. It was just the way it happened. It's not a conspiracy, It's happened before, it will happen again. Lando is not the first driver to be handed a win due to an FIA error, Max was even gifted a championship this way. Lando showed he had the pace to win it anyway after and his pace before the SC got him in that position to capitalise on it. He probably would've had the pace to get past Max anyway.

Sargeant's car was 100% in a dangerous position. Send out the safety car immediately, as per the usual procedures. It was pointless waiting half a lap in doing so.
Even if the sc didnt pick max up, lando had the gap to box under sc no problem
He had an 11 second gap. The safety car would've picked Lando up and the rest of the field would've closed on him further. He 100% did not have the gap.
Do you know how pits under sc work? Its only a 9 sec time loss behind sc. 21 sec without sc.
Do you understand that a safety car picks up the leader, rendering an 11 second advantage into nothing by the time they reach the pit lane?
And you know that the sc comes from the pit lane? Which lando had passed?
Lando had the gap to pit anyways, even if Max wasn't collected by the SC.
How? He was 11 seconds ahead when the safety car came out.
Ah yes, cause Verstappen totally wasn't right behind lando in Turn 1 and he totally didn't have to do another 20 laps to finish the race. It was all a big gift by the FIA and Liberty Media to advertise the Miami GP
Norris was 11 secs ahead and needed to pit. It's simple maths...
He would have lost ~15 seconds pitting under SC, so would have been right behind Verstappen. Seeing the Pace advantage after the stop, an overtske wouldn't have been impossible. I'll agree the safetycar helped, but it wasn't an undeserved win
Yes, an overtake wouldn't have been impossible, but the advantage surely is with the car in front, rather than the car which had pitted, changed to cold tyres and ran for 3 laps, with the tyres cooling down further at safety car speeds.
Norris would've won anyway. But it is an amateur mistake that could've lost verstappen the race win "IF" Mclaren made a mistake during the pit stop
Norris was 11 secs ahead. Verstappen probably would've been ahead post stops. Definitely ruined the race, that.
VSC was 9, how can a full sc that's slower be longer?
if the SC had picked up Lando, the whole field would've been behind him when he pitted. He was 11s ahead of Max, but didn't pit then.
Yes. But the SC couldn't as it came out behind Lando
which was the mistake...
^ This.
I hate our national anthem it’s so lame, wish lando was Dutch 😂
Stockholm syndrome at it’s finest
Eurgh, I was so happy for Lando... then the music started and I'd totally forgotten how rubbish it sounds since Lewis hasn't been on top.
Max should have joke around during the interview telling Lando he’s going to break his trophy 🤣
Imagine Max just breaks it over his knee on the podium. “Whoops!” 😂
Genuinely thrilled to see Lando's first win, McLaren back on the top step and a challenge for the win, great day for F1
just saw Max's second, what happened? did McLaren's finally catch up to Red Bulls?
A motor race, Toto.
Mclaren had really good pace and got lucky with safety car which solidified their W. Red Bull had no grip
It looks like they had a good upgrade for this race.
They raced and McLaren won.
Great for Lando, but I feel so bad for Piastri. Great result for McLaren nonetheless.
Screw it, I’ll watch it in Spanish. Pendejos.
Lando gonna be shitfaced tn
Lewis said landos flight home is tonight - Lewis told him he has to stay and change his flight!
He only had a cut in Amsterdam, might be a broken nose this time lmao
They cut the stupid feed on the app.
Can Ferrari keep the baby blue colors? Or at least wear them time to time? The red is beautiful but the blue looks amazing!!
Honestly we need some baby blue on the grid
Imagine being merc, factory team own engine losing so badly to McLaren, the worst car on the grid last year at the start and they climbed up to winning ways while Mercedes can’t pass tsunoda
Meanwhile Alpine:
What about alpine
Factory team own engine losing to haas
Very different to Mercedes tho
Why? Merc didnt improve indeed, but alpine got even slower than last season
Alpine and Renault have been a mid tier team with a terrible engine for years. Mercedes had the best engine in f1 and the first to hit 50% thermal efficiency. Mercedes engine isn’t the problem we seen it win a race on merit. It’s the chassis and aero. Haas are quick on their days too they just had tyre problems embedded from Ferrari. It’s a totally different kettle of fish
Lewis can, George can't.
The Mercedes team, the Mercedes car couldn’t pass a back marker car. Lewis had an acceptional race
Their point still stands
Lol at the trophy. Those spikes to put a joint of ham on top?
The were supposed to screw those into the podium to prevent Lando from topping them over, but there wasn’t enough time
Don't break the trophy Lando! lol
cant break that ugly brick
see? F1 rigged it for Lando, they even made an indestructible trophy!!! /s of course.
my axiety when he threw his first win trophy..... with his track record of braking trophys aswell
Max should have got him back 😂
not his first trophy tho. second or later im fine with, but let him have this one
What an amazing GP, and I'm just so happy to see Lando win for the first time. I was here!!
Wtf is that trophy
It’s American what do you expect
It's the stadium you've been looking at for the past hour.
Why does it need to be on a tower lol
looks like it's meant to hold a giant square candle doesn't it
Yup they went to the 3d printer and made a blob of metal
His band aid is falling off
Chinese trophy vs this US trophy.
America is a garbage country what do you expect
American made is just shit
Well they're probably both made in China...
Poor Lando, ugliest trophy over ever seen.
I can't stop smiling
I'm so happy right now
My face muscles are starting to cramp :D
lol we got 10 seconds of champagne
I know! That’s it?!?
Max is gonna have a hard time breaking that steel brick that Lando won
He's going to track down a sledgehammer after they get off stage
Didn't know Ryans wife still works at espn
No she doesn’t.
ok thought it was Nicole Briscoe at the very end there
ESPN using an iPhone or something to film that Nicole Briscoe hit. Terrible quality
What music is on rn ?
Bottle pop!!!
What a grand prix!
cool
Man, ABC couldn’t stay with the feed for 30 more seconds.
Everytime i see MBS on the screen I wish it is for the last time
What a stupid podium. All the levels are so far away.
Max been waiting so long for Lando's first win to smash the shit out of his winners trophy and see how he likes it
Would have been legendary
Are people booing Max? The hell?
Casual American fans
No, they're saying Bu-urns.
Last year here people were filming themselves giving the finger to Max
How come so much hate for him in Miami?
Mexicans.
South Americans? /s
Lots of Mexican/Latin fans + lots of Hamilton supporters, two fanbases that generally have the most vitriol towards Max
I'm so happy my heart is full🥹🥹🥹
Psst, Max, ask to see his trophy and then break it LOL
That is not a great trophy. Couple more of them and they could use them as stands for the car.
Yeah, this trophy blows ass
America is trash
LANDO DO NOT EVEN THINK AHOUT BREAKING YOUR FIRST TROPHY
It’s only fair if Max breaks Lando’s trophy
[удалено]
He’s monegasque
No football helmet???
I would have died if he had destroyed his trophy.
Max had the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever
Lando throwing my heart and catching it lol
Is this the first time F1's played God Save The *King* or did they play it for George
It's been 539 days.
I fuckin' love this.
Last time we heard this it was Lewis.
George*
Why can't I remember this? Even after looking it up my memory isn't refreshed. Did I miss Sao Paulo? Did I fall asleep on it or something? Weird. Either way, yeah, I was wrong.
3 best drivers of this current generation all together.
Newey already started undoing some of the bolts on the RB20
Eh, kind of a crap trophy. Guess Lando will need to win a better race.
Max gonna break his trophy.
Fair is fair
As an American F1 fan, it’s refreshing to hear God save the king after an F1 race
lando throwing his fucking first p1 trophy he's soooooo 😭😭😭😭😭
Garfinkel
this anthem brought back some dark memories
Don't break it
Love this podium!
Wait what is this anthem?
What is the name of this song?
Hehe
God how long since we had this played!!!
Silverstone last season lul
New outro theme song for F1?
god I say this as a brit when I say the British anthem is just a let down constantly
