2025 Brazilian Grand Prix

[donthaveanickname]

One of the best tracks on the schedule.

Thankfully Pirelli has brought tires a step harder than last year to make sure we don't have to suffer through good racing.

 

[Doc Austin]

Probably doesn't mean much, but Hulk is third after P1.

 

[Doc Austin]

Alonso is going bonkers in Q2.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Probably doesn't mean much, but Hulk is third after P1.

Crofty mentioned during practice it's been 15 years today since he qualified pole at Interlagos. I actually remember watching that, makes me feel old.

IMPLICATIONS!!!! in the sprint

 

[Doc Austin]

Carnage!

 

[donthaveanickname]

Lando holds off Antonelli, Alonso almost holds off Chuck, Bortoleto crashes.

Nothing else happened.

 

[Doc Austin]

It wasn't great, but it's another 4 points clear for Lando. Great drive by Kimi. Verstappen has surprisingly quiet race but limited the damage.

 

[Doc Austin]

Finally saw Bortoletto's crash. Massive but he's OK. Looks like he took out one of the Willams too.

 

[Doc Austin]

Looks like Bortoletto might not make qualifying. That care was destroyed.

 

[Doc Austin]

Looks like Bortoletto will get a new tub.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Finally saw Bortoletto's crash. Massive but he's OK. Looks like he took out one of the Willams too.

Was he trying to recreate the most memorable moment of Michael Andretti's F1 career?

That looked brutal.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Max out in Q1

No off, just not fast enough.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Hamilton down in 13th.

Ollie 2nd after Q2, both Toro Rossos make Q3 while the Red Bulls both went out in Q1. Gasly and Hülkenberg make Q3 as well.

This is the most random dry qualifying in a while

 

[Doc Austin]

Dropping to 20th from 15th isn't as bad as it could have been.

Verstappen set to start Sao Paulo GP from pit lane after power unit change​

 

[Doc Austin]

40 minutes to go before start and it's lightly raining!

 

[donthaveanickname]

40 minutes to go before start and it's lightly raining!

So let's delay it by two hours?

 

[Tony_K]

Yes, because the premier racing series of the world can't handle rain.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Damn, you really see people being over-motivated for their home race a lot in racing.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Don't think Hamilton is gonna finish either.

Feels like the first lap one Safety Car in ages.

 

[donthaveanickname]

IMPLICATIONS!!!

Three-wide into one wasn't gonna work.

 

[Doc Austin]

Seven laps in and it's already bonkers.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Crevaison for Verstappen and I think also Stroll.

 

[Doc Austin]

Max just lays down fastest lap in that turd Red Bull. Amazing.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Great move by Ollie into one.

Geez, Yuki.

 

[Doc Austin]

I'm getting sick of all these penalties.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I'm getting sick of all these penalties.

Yuki's should've been a drive-through, not just 10 seconds.

And there's no way three-wide into T1 was gonna work.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Don't think Hamilton is gonna finish either.

Like I said.

Brutal day for Ferrari.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Colapinto with the fastest lap

 

[Doc Austin]

Max is not going down easy.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Wow. I'm exhausted just from watching and yet I could've watched this race for another three hours.

Best race of the season by far. We badly needed this.

There were constant battles throughout the field, probably more passes than all the other races this season combined.

Max put in a recovery drive almost as good as last year and Young Kimi did an amazing job holding him off at the end. I'm starting to understand what Mercedes saw in this guy.

Lando had another champion's drive while Oscar finished off the podium for the fifth time in a row (7 times if we include sprints).

Bring on Vegas!

 

[Doc Austin]

I just don't even know what to say about Verstappen. Unbelievable.

 

[Tony_K]

Best race of the season by far. We badly needed this.

I agree.

 

[Reagan]

Max is unbelievable. From the pit lane to P3, while his teammate finishes last. Crazy stuff.

 

[Hotrod]

With all the action this weekend, this track has
moved up to my second favorite track behind
Monaco. It seems every year, for the past 10 or
15, it has really produced some interesting story
lines. I just hope Lando can keep his s__t together
to get this championship. Antonelli is certainly
one to keep an eye on in the future. Looking at
a DVR weekend for Vegas again. BTW, Bortoleto
has my vote for crash of the F1 season so far. A 3
year old grandson was watching that with me off
the DVR and he even made me replay it a couple
of times !
