BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX 2022

Brazil is ALWAYS full of drama, this time included.

- it’s an experimental weekend

Qualifying

- oh my gosh the put inters on Charles on a dry track and it ruined everything and he’s furious and we all are

- George Russell went off and beached it and caused a red flag when the rain was coming in so by the time for the restart it was too rainy to set a faster time SO KEVIN IS ON POLE

- Kevin Magnussen is having the best day ever and it warms the heart

Sprint

- Kevin did keep the lead for lap 1!! Yay!

- Oh my gosh Alonso and Ocon are having terrible exchanges, Ocon pushed Alonso off and broke off his front wing in a separate incident and the nose change cost him 30 seconds

- By lap 4, Kevin is in fourth with Max in first, then George, and Sainz

- They were so focused on Hamilton gaining a place the forgot to show how Max passed Kevin

- Alonso is roasting Ocon on the radio ahahhaah

- Lance Stroll pushed Seb into the grass on the straight and Martin straight called it dirty driving but then next time Seb gets past him

- George snuck up and is challenging Max for the lead

- I love the corner name Magoolio

- Yellow flag for Alex Albon who is out and it cuts off George from challenging Max but then it gets green again really fast

- Max says he hit debris and Martin says it’s from Alonso’s front wing from Ocon hitting him but Max says it’s okay

- 15/25 George gets past Max for the lead

- Potential start infringement for Zhou Ricciardo and Hamilton?

- 10 second penalty for Stroll for a DANGEROUS MANŒUVRE hahahaha YES

- Sainz destroys Max’s front wing end plate going past him and it falls off dramatically and then Lewis gets past Max too so now Max is in fourth

- Lance notes for DRIVING ERRATICALLY hahahahah

- They’re talking about putting Perez ahead of Max for the extra point to help in the drivers championship but ultimately they don’t

- Kevin finishes 8th and gets a point which is great!

- George wins the sprint!! It’s his first win, it’s not a full Grand Prix but it’s a sprint win which is something

- This was a VERY dramatic and stressful race

- Sainz in second and Hamilton in third, Max fourth and Perez fifth

Race

- the starting infringement stuff came to nothing

- George keeps the lead

- On lap 1, turn ten, Daniel hits Kevin and then Kevin spins and tags Daniel and they both go into the wall dramatically but they’re fine and safety car

- For some reason Daniel is back in the garage and Kevin is still out by the crash sooo can someone go get Kevin

- MAX AND HAMILTON hit right after the restart and there damage to max but he continues

- Then RIGHT AFTER Norris hits Charles and Charles goes into the wall fast BUT MANAGES TO KEEP GOING

- Lando now has strange feeling in steering

- Both incidents under investigation

- Somehow no safety car

- They’re never gonna rule against Hamilton here where they worship him

- YEP they gave Max a five second time penalty and Martin says that’s the exact opposite of what he thought, he agrees with us that Hamilton should have gotten the penalty

- Also Norris given a five second time penalty for hitting Charles but that was appropriate

- Carlos had to stop and his back right is smoking and fire because of a tear off stuck in it but he keeps going, I totally thought it was over for him

- Max serves his penalty and then they fumble his wheel so it ends up being a 10 second stop

- 52/71 Norris car dies and they can’t move it so it’s a full safety car so this means George is under threat from Hamilton behind him on restart

- Alpine tell Ocon not to fight Alpine but he FIGHTS BACK and he won’t listen

- Yuki only uncapped himself halfway by the time the restart comes? Uhhhh

- They let Max through past Perez to get the cars in front of him and then they are going to let Perez back in front if Maxy doesn’t get him

- They ask Max to let Perez back by but when they go over the line, Max is still ahead

- They say Max refused to let Sergio by because of Monaco! When Sergio didn’t let him back by or crashed and don’t let him by or something DRAMA

- GEORGE WINS and keeps Hamilton in second thank GOD

- George is just crying openly and it’s so emotional

- George wins, Hamilton, then Sainz
