Massive Hamilton fan and this was the first F1 race I’d ever been to, I couldn’t be happier
Epic race. Damn!
Congratulations dude!
Same here! Honestly couldn't believe that this was the race he won after 2021 and can't believe I was there
Happy for you, had a couple tears of joy at the end of the race! Its been a tough 2 + years for LH.
What a vibe
Hamilton breaking a couple of records this weekend. The most wins by a single driver on a single track (9) and The first driver to win a race after crossing 300 appearances (344).
And the oldest winner of the 21st century
Big.
@@harry4454 true (39 years 182 days)
And biggest gap between first and last (to date) race wins
@@SJP-go2do Hopefully it's not his last race win
Hulk 1 point off lance is criminal
I cried when Lewis crossed the line, man
Was on the verge here too, the norweigan commentators this weekend were so great towards the end of the race it really hit in the right place.
Idk if there were any dry eyed Lewis fans after that race!
@@LemonWater4532 i’m not even a big Lewis fan, but knowing how much this meant for him, it hit really hard. This is probably one of modern F1’s most iconic races, up there with Barcelona 2016, Canada 2011, Monaco 2024 and many many more..
This win isn’t just +25 points for Lewis, this is a proper send-off from Mercedes and is going to give Lewis so much less weight on his shoulders going into his late stage of his career in Formula 1.❤️
When he hugged his old man, damn.
I’m a max fan and was bawling like a baby as he hugged his dad. So happy for him 😭
Massive Lewis fan, just happy that his last win is no longer from *that* season. This was up there with Schumi's poll at Monaco 2012 on sheer emotion. Definitely going down as an all time race in the ground effect era, possibly ever.
Let's go!! Hulkenberg 2 p6 in a row!!
HulkenGOAT
Driver of the day easy
McLaren really turned into the 2022 Ferrari strategy team. They fumbled a win, again.
And Sainz did his best to save whatever dignity Ferrari had left.
In fairness the tyre choice was charles’ own so ferrari cannot be blamed for that mistake
you lot just ignore the fact that Mclaren have two wins in TEN years 😂
McLaren also screwed Oscar in qualifying…. He was last out and barely got over the line. Oscar banger for sure 💯
Lando is literally showing the same mistakes that leclerc did. Not having the understanding and trust in yourself to make decisions. While overdriving it to often, just again losing at the start a position because he is staying behind lewis so close that max can easily outbreak him. That's those 5 sec he would have needed to stay infront after the mistakes at the pitstop. But to many mistakes like everytime. Even Oscar is able to call it in seconds after just 1 year of f1, that's why he looks for me much more like a potential champion
As a Lando fan, I will agree that Lando need to be firm with his decisions. But it doesn’t help when his race engineer relayed the information as “softs to cover hamilton, mediums to cover verstappen”. McLaren saved the new set of medium for this exact scenario, and they should have pushed for the tyre instead of letting lando choose (not learning from Sochi 21).
@@oscritoI think McLaren are even more at fault than that. We didn't hear it on the broadcast, but Lando actually asked his engineer if the team had a preference, and he told Lando "we're going softs." So, ultimately, it was a team decision.
@@Tom-rt2really??
I thought this was this like that in Russia 2021
@@mumenraideryeah. Here's the transcript (when asked who to cover):
LN: "Hamilton. I think Hamilton. Or do you think medium? I don't mind"
Engineer: "We're going softs"
But yeah, still very indecisive from Lando
@@Tom-rt2 clanger from McL during the race, essentially robbed their drivers of a potential win and a double podium.
The British GP showed in a nutshell why Lewis and Max have 10 world championships between them and why Lando, Charles and George have none.
All of them are fast but in those critical moments the champs have the right stuff. Who knows the future but I have a feeling Oscar will be a F1 champ before Lando.
Yeah, Lewis and Max just have that extra gear. Mega drive from both of them, but really happy that Lewis got the win.
Part of me wants to say that Nico Hulkenburg is just a beast and is dragging that Haas car to relevance. However, I am excited to see what the team really becomes next season with Ollie and Ocon at the helm.
Checo was on his OUTLAP?? LMAO
I'm glad Lewis got another win before leaving Mercedes, and it couldn't have been in a better place.
What more needs to happen for a race to be a 10😂
Logan win
If Hamilton overtook for the win it would’ve been that, to me a race winning ivertake is better than a race winning strategy and undercur
How about a real fight for the win?
Mate this race was a solid 10 just for the feels 🥲❤️
Daniel had issues with his car throughout practice which affected handling so could only attempt to dial it in during the rainy session. Then his car wouldn't start just before the race so they had to revert to a used PSU, he was 6 kph slower than Yuki on the straight. It's bizarre how commentators never seem aware of these things.
the straight line deficit was occurring during the entire weekend and not only the race - it was likely a setup difference and not a significant power unit discrepancy
@@darius0488 could be, I expected his set up to be compromised.
@darius0488 Not according to Peter Windsor who posted the FP speed trap times that had Daniel 2nd or 3rd fastest. The 6kmh diff in race may be because most of the time Yuki had DRS whilst Daniel quickly dropped back, often lapping a second slower than the car in front.
excuses
I feel super gutted for George, he deserved to be in the podium at the very least.
Lewis just doing his thing.
In all honesty, Mercedes should have never gone the zero pods route, if they had simply played it safe they would be winning this year's constructors.
Next year will be awesome, sad Lewis is leaving as i do not think Ferrari can iron out their issues, they are yet demonstrate they can develop a car over the course of a season. That crown belongs to Mercedes but RBR are the best managed team, from pit crew to strategists to Max, these guys are the best.
hulkenberg remains the biggest what if in formula one in my eyes
Now that we are finally seeing convergence among the teams, I hope (wishing, really) they'd postpone the new regs until 2027. The close action will be lost with new cars... 8.5/10 today. Great race.
They won’t. Then 2029/2030 depending will be super close until the new engine regs. It’s every 3-6 years there’s a major change
This typically seems to be the case with new regs eh.
IDK when we compare to the standard for an f1 race weekend, then this race feels like a strong 9. It had the chaos of wet weather and race leaders kept switching. It was a genuine battle for the win for a decent portion of the race. On top of that lewis getting a win in his home gp makes it extra nice. Moreover, there was intrigue with hulkenberg holding his position to get points for haas.
The more I watch this F1 season the more I'm becoming a Oscar Piastri fan. Seems like he always put himself in a good position.
You put out the poll while Australians were sleeping so we could not vote correctly for Oscar as Banger Drive.
With the way this season is going, I’m not gonna be surprised if Nico gets his first podium this season
Tommo I was watching the telemetry for Daniel’s car and he was consistently 6kph slower in the speed traps compared to tsunoda. Not sure his car was any better than 13th today
8/10???? Should be atleast a 9 easy 😂
In defence of Daniel, his car did not start 30 minutes before the race, they had to replace his powerunit with an older used one, losing him about 4 tenths per lap if I have to believe the reports.
Do u think Ricciardo can get better results in the red bull than Checo Perez? (I think he does, 2018 he was doing good minor the mechanical DNFs)
Feel the need to point out george also put it on pole in hungary 2022, 2 poles for merc in the past 2 years, if the merc car is quick there it could be a big points haul for them there with a favoured track for both of them
The T-shirt is gonna give me sunburn lol
as soon as i saw checho was on hards i knew that he wasnt there to race. hes just there to test the tyres
Mclaren fuck over Oscar constantly he was fast af today
Not really a huge fan of any driver necessarily, just a fan of good racing. I teared up a bit at the end for sure.
Hulkenberg doesn't have enough years left to waste a season at Sauber/Stake.
Do you guys think that Oscar has finally found something with his tyre wear?
A bit better I think, in the dry races leading up to this one. However you can’t read much into this wet race tyre wise, but he was bloody fast. Will need to see some more dry races to know for sure where he’s at, but he definitely seems to be improving.
This year looks to be Max's last driver championship in his F1 career. Ending with four titles, the same as Vettel, makes him one of the top 10 drivers in the history of F1. I wonder who is the best in Red Bull history, Max or Vettel?
Best race of the season so far, even if Lewis didn’t win. 5 way fight for the lead, changing conditions, Logan in 11th?! Amazing!
I was at this first British GP win in 2008 for McLaren by 60 seconds, so good to see him win here again 16 years later
Not a Hamilton fan but after Q3 I just had a weird feeling he'd find a way to win this one. They had the pace, their strats have been solid, and it's the track he's seemingly the best at. Hats off to him and it'd be nice to see another win or two before the season ends so he can build the max momentum going into Ferrari.
I will defend that Yuki or Lawson have definitely done enough to deserve that Red Bull seat, but realistically they should have snagged Carlos. That would have easily been the strongest pairing on the grid, no question.
Fernando's age has finally caught up to him but he was better than Stroll this weekend. In qualifying, he didn't get to set a lap at the end with the best track conditions and fresh tires (he was battling on his outlap with Sainz and Piastri, who did complete their lap but didn't improve). And in the race he overtook Stroll when the rain came down but made the wrong choice to pit a lap later than Stroll so lost position and came out 9 seconds behind Stroll when he did eventually pit.
He actually pitted a lap earlier than Stroll and Hulk at the end
@@NG_NG13 I meant that dry to inters transition where getting the right lap was crucial and what cost Piastri the win today
@@hamza-chaudhry Ahh fair mate
Tommo saying tomaytoe was giving ariverdirchy
The turn around at McLaren has ZERO to do with Seidel. As a matter of fact, Stella specifically said that they basically threw everything out from Seidel. The McLaren gains were 100% Stella.
Was there last year, wish we were there this year too! What a win!!!
we need more dog
Im a lewis fan so obviously very very happy with today. But I will say, theres two (maybe three) drivers that still need a win in the big teams. It’s Piastri’s time next, maybe Spa? Perez.. hes terrible atm but would like to see him win Mexico. Then Fernando… its unlikely, but would that not just be the icing on the cake this season. Some sort of crazy wet race where he just plays an epic strategy. It might even be a more popular win the Lewis.
Anyway..
Yeah I think cause Lewis now has that win every one is now gonna want a Fernando win, he deserves it after last year just like Lewis did, with Fernandos incredible performances but never being able to sniff a win due to the outrageous dominance and reliability of that max/red bull combination
I think with the performance drop off Fernando has lost the drive, he's seeing all the other teams flying past them and probably won't give a shit until they can actually fight for serious positions
Checo to Haas is a dream fit! Checo would have substantially less pressure on his shoulders, and Haas would completely dominate Latin America and southern US, as an American team+Mexican driver. This also means Haas may start to inch closer to the budget cap
I knew Ferrari were cooked when Fred Was celebrating with McLaren and snack brown when they won Miami
Commenting a bit late but I rate the day before GTA Vl drops tommo makes a things we got in f1 before GTA Vl. Then just make a list of wild things that happened between gta v and vi. Eg hamilton in a ferrari, etc etc
Good call on Bangers and Clangers - Oscar was exceptional 👌
Russell had less downforce so would have gone a lot better during the dry at the end, which would have been epic for the race
Also how ironic (or not ironic considering it's Alpine) that Gasly's car was completely changed and yet it still broke before a lap?
Maybe but George lost out because of the double stacked so he'd have probably been behind Max and Lando at the end not sure if he could have caught them
@@kityhawk2000he was closing the gap to Max to 1.5s on inters before dnf with drs being enabled just few laps after his dnf he would probably overtook him pretty easily.
Lando lost 20 to oscar. Oscar was 17.5 behind max, and max was 7.5 behind lando. Oscar finished 4 behind lando.
Oscar pit 1 or 2 lap before with Better tire. Today with a good strategy for McLaren could be 1 Lando and 2 oscar
I took the gaps from when Lando came out of the pits on lap 40.
@@sscpiero2013 yeah it should have been 1-2 if they didn't completely messed up the strategy
@@TommoOnTH-cam yeah I did the same thing haha what??
@@TommoOnTH-cam Yeah well they waited one lap too many to pit Lando the second time also.
9ther thought, they could have pit Oscar 1 lap before Norris rather than after when putting on the inters.
By the way Oscar's qualy was screwed by the team. He got put on his 2nd run with Sainz and another, all 3 bunched up to make it to the line in time.
Anyhow, McLaren are just not ready to win. All I heard from Zack were excuses.
10 outa 10
Tommo you wore the T-shirt last time at last lap podcast for Austin GP
The F1 movie looks bad lol hope i'm wrong
McLaren screwing both drivers is crazy. You'd imagine they'd use the mistakes made on Oscar to not do the same with Lando but nope.
Stroll has often impressed in slippery and changeable conditions, it's something that he doesn't get enough credit for.
27:56, I felt that "what you doing", like wtf are they doing giving that call to Lando ever 🤡😭
The weekend showed what a team needs to be race winners. As soon as Merc sniffs a win, the team and the drivers are ready to take it. McLaren have the car and the drivers have the pace, but the team not making the calls when it counted and Lando not keeping his head cool is what did them in. Oscar really could be Mclaren's longterm success though, because even with the team's disasters he drove a fantastic race.
I understand and agree with what you say about Sky and British bias. That's why I bought an F1TV subscription... only to find out they're still an all-Brit broadcast and just as bad (they were complaining abut how 'continental' F1 has become a few weeks ago). It's still a British sport, there's just no getting away from it. If anyone knows how to get even a French or Spanish language broadcast online I'd take it.
French or Spanish sky sports
@@harry4454 Is that available online? I'm not trying to pirate anything I just wanna hear engines and the occasional "George gets past Lando" or whatever
When was this? I usually think Palmer and Jacques are pretty objective in their commentary. Much better than Crofty, at least
@@Tom-rt2 75% sure it was Spain? It was triggered by someone's call for a pit stop being "box box". I agree Jolyon is solid, I think it was Coulthard who initiated it. He's a bit of a clown so I just rolled my eyes but it stands out when only 3-4 drivers get airtime and the whole crew was gushing. In my fantasy world there's biased coverage for every race based on nationality, gimme a Canadian lunatic who can't stop raving about Stroll and a Mexican with a heavy accent explaining Checo's glory. I want a more diverse narrative is all.
As a Brit, watching the British GP in my British living room, hearing the British commentators and presenters get excited for British drivers knowing it makes people online seethe. All I have to say is: lol. lmao, even.
They have the winning car, they have the winning drivers but the McLaren team/stratagies are still in a midfield mind set - they need to be flawless, they need the be the perfect package, now!
Loads of races are 10/10 in hindsight, Maybe in 5 years time we will look at this and others as 10/10's.
Or maybe I think if we had lead switching on the last 2/3 laps it would have solidified it as 10/10
Sounds like a lot of the reviews that are 10's are Lewis stans. The race was maybe an 8 because of the hunt at the end and the race but the majority of the race wasn't exactly exciting...
mclaren is becoming Ferrari when is comes to bad bad calls.
Why is Ferrari missing a couple of tenths for so many years? It is ALWAYS just a couple of tenths to the point it is sad.
Ok so real talk, what if sauber is gaming the system and sandbagging to get all the atr and work on 2026. Like I know they can't "work on" the 2026 cars until 2025, but you could look at the impact of wheelbase on aerodynamics on a 2025 car etc to learn things that can be applicable for 2026.
46:31 Hang it in the louvre! may have laugh out loud at work
Been a lando fan Is very difficoult
Really being a McLaren fan our strategy team
I feel like lando has a certain desperation like max showed in 2018. Definitely not as bad but the mindset isn't working, all or nothing not calculated. He got mugged by max at the start which put him further behind the Mercs than he should've been. Take a breather, you have a fast car. Don't try things on Lewis like that on the first lap, especially since you'll probably have the best tires at the end of a stint.
You’ve given much worse races an 8, this is a 9 or past Tommo was on the crack pipe
Massive win. With better fortune he would have had a few in 2022. He had an extremely good season that year (barring Saudi and Imola) which the points don’t always reflect
Yep. Zaandvort, COTA, France, Hungary
He had mega pace. The reality is he hasn’t had the car. I think the only real opportunity he ‘fumbled’ was Brazil 22 (despite the damage he was outqualified) and COTA 23, but he was DSQ anyway
Shame on you for forgeting Carlos Reuteman who raced F1 from '72-'82. For some reason his name has always stuck with me..
Maybe change clanger drive to checo drive next time🤔🤔🤔
Get sargeant a redbull seat
People say british Bias. All the time but american bias happens to
That's an unfortunately coloured microphone sponge.
Did nico make a huge mistake by going to sauber?
Nah
30:22 how can you give Piastri banger driver given that you always say you gotta take the whole weekend into acct and you admit he didn’t qualify that well??
That said im not super arguing bc i agree he had a great race.
Oscar’s communication with his team engineer is far ahead of Lando’s. It’s a case of instincts (Lando) vs instincts + data (Oscar), in that Oscar constantly reviews the data pre-race and strategies options while driving. The rate of Oscar’s progress since the Miami GP has been significant, and he must come away with a GP win in 2024. As this is only his second year in F1, I expect Oscar to learn how to compete against the top 4 drivers (Max, Lando, Lewis and Charles). I see Oscar being able to compete for the WDC in 2025. There is one clear outcome of the British GP: there is clear proof that Oscar has sorted out his tyre management issues.
My other take, Oscar can take on Max in 2025.
Surely, with Carlos’s recent performances over Charles, he deserves to be driving for Mercedes next year. If this happens, you still have the top 7 drivers in the top 4 teams.
Unfortunately with Kim’s performance in the wet it is looking more and more unlikely
What?
What?
McLaren cost oscar another race win. They are a disgrace and i hope he leaves to merc or redbull when out of contract. Its bullshit he has to compete against the other drivers and his own team. Zac didn't seem impressed with the mclaren strategy and i hope he fires them all. Another lando bottlejob by picking the wrong tyres and going long in the pitt. Screwing oscar over for that bottlejob is laughable mclaren.
Unlike Hamilton Oscar did not pass his teammate on track so he could pit first. Mclaren messed up by leaving Oscar out another lap but it wouldn't have happened if he was in front
That's still not a excuse, he called the medium and instead of catching up 5 sec or 10 sec he was 20 sec behind while needing to overtake aswell. If that's lewis the hole chat would be full with robbed and sabotage. That's a rookie mistake to really think he wouldn't look time on a wet track full of high speed turns......
Yes, piastri was behind lando, also if they pit him with Norris e would not win the race, but sure a podium
Oscar wasn't faster than Lando overall. He only got closer just before pitting to inters, and on the final stint (when Norris had worse tyres).
He's a great driver, but McLaren is right to prioritise Lando over Oscar at the moment. Norris is better at race pace, and better (on average) at qualifying. Maybe it will change in a few years, but not right now.
If you'll listen to the radio chat it wasn't really Lando's fault for the medium. The team weren't strong enough, they just asked if he wanted to cover off 1st or 2nd and Lando said 1st. Team should have had clearer communication
max on mediums would've won lol
Don’t know about the not giving haas banger team because of not bringing upgrades take
FU Tommo for that L take on Tsunoda! "Lets put a rookie in that RB!" Genius! As if there were not 3... 3 drivers who could not make it in that car. Also: throwing Lawson under the bus!
“Bottas is an option, Colapinto,…..”
Tells me your literally a huge casual lmfao
These TH-camrs are peak casuals.
10/10 is ridiculous. How many real fights for the lead did we have? Changes in position were down to weather or strategic decisions. And it was never a fight for the win between 4 drivers.
This was a 10/10 race idc what u say 😂
Fernando is bottling it on purpose ti make Lance look good. Money is a he'll of a persuasive device.
Is it possible we're being too hard on Sargeant?
Yes.
McLaren really hates Oscar…. Imagine if it was the other way around…. Norris would have been crying to be let past Oscar…. McLaren bottled the win with oscar
@Tommo Yuki Tsunoda would run ch3co out....
also, "the story of lewis not winning after so long" like did we forget about the other 3/4 of the Grid orrrrrrrrrrr.... what a fkn joke.
Yeah I mean this win was 90% the overdramatized story blown up by media. "He gets his first win after struggling with the car for 2.5 years (first time in his career tbf) at his home race which proves he still is a goat". Like firstly ffs this man for the whole career had the fastest cars. So this narrative with him "suffering" in 3rd fastest car for 2.5 years is just pathetic. Most of the grid would never get an opportunity to be in 3rd fastest car let alone 2nd or 1st. Most of the grid including great talents are fighting for points and would kill for even a podium and I am supposed to be truly sad that he didn't won a race for 2.5 years after winning regularly for like 10 years? And people acting like he was the person who deserved the win the most almost like he was entilted to win here and like he is entilted to always have the fastest car. At least that's the vibe I am getting from his fans. Overall I'm glad he won but I can name like at least 2 drivers on the grid who deserve a win more: Piastri and Hulk who truly deserves better team and at least a podium. Yeah I'm sure Hulk relates to Lewis' struggles very much.
Us Americans don't pretend to be French and pronounce Charles Leclerc as Shar Leclair.
10/10 is straight crazy.... F1 fans are nuts
Checo is so embarrassing
