F1 Re-Watch 2022: Round 13 - Hungary
Alrighty, here we go again. I think I’m halfway through the season now? (as in, the races that had Seb, soz Bahrain & Saudi). Anyway, I don’t remember much from this race bc I was still reeling from Seb’s retirement but I’m pretty sure Verstappen won so... woo
(Please let there be Seb and Bono sightings to make up for it 🤞)
I’ve actually had to mute the replay when the intro’s on bc I’ve heard it so much at this point 😭 Like the F1 theme is fine, it’s just not The Chain
I am obviously still watching the intro, bc Seb looks pretty in it
I’m sorry what... GEORGE IS ON POLE???
????????
how tf did he drag the W13 into pole????
ugh Seb in P18 whyyyyyyy 😭
Red Bull’s in 10th and 11th?????? What happened during Quali?????
Right hopefully I’ll process all that before the start
oh god there’s raindrops on the cameras.
Starting this at quarter to eleven at night is looking like A Mistake™️
[Formation Lap]: And the RBRs are going off the grid like snails because????
Oh they’re running new power units. Should mean that they should be running like snails, but anyway
TEEEEEEEEEEED (Yes, I watch all the replays on F1 TV in the International feed for Ted crumbs)
[Start/Lap 1]: Russell gets a surprisingly good start considering how long he was sat on the grid while the tail end cars lined up.
The Ferraris are looking zoomy though
rip Albon’s front wing endplate
[Lap 2]: and a wild VSC appears
oof debris all over turns 2/3. lads.
Lewis jumping both Alpine’s at the start?? iconique
[Lap 3]: aaaaand we’re green
Seb up into P16!!!! I’ll take it!!!
So, how are Ferrari going to mess up having P2 and P3 then???
It is a very sorry state of affairs that I’m just expecting Ferrari to mess up, but alas. Clowneria Ferrari reigns supreme.
[Lap 4]: idk if I want to call it racing but, the cars all seem to be following each other pretty well, but idk if anything is going to come from it. But it makes a change from all the massive gaps between the cars in France
[Lap 5]: and as I say that, Verstappen passes Alonso
...I’m just going to acknowledge Fernando asking for team orders and move on
[Lap 6]: Why did we cut from Kevin v Dan to Perez v Alonso???? I want my midfield spice!!!
I mean I know Alpine are a midfield team, but whatever
[Lap 7]: “Dry for the next half hour” idk if I want to trust that Mr Engineer
Meanwhile the Red Bulls are carving their way past the Alpines.
SEB INTO P15!!!! Hanging onto every single crumb I can
[Lap 8]: Bold of Crofty to assume Ferrari are going to be smart with their strategy to even think of trying a one stop. That’ll only happen if they just forget about Charles and Sainz
[Lap 10]: Lewis catching Lando 👀
ayyyyy Lewis has a rainbow helmet!!!!! 🌈✨
brief disgruntled Toto sighting. I feel you bud I don’t want to endure Lewis v Verstappen either 😭
Euros Crofty. The Lionessesses were competing in the final of the Euros. smh.
Anyway F1.
[Lap 11]: Norris v Lewis v Verstappen. I am unwell and not in a good way.
[Lap 12]: Yeahhhhh Lewis into P4 on the inside of turn 1. noice.
Seb watch: up into P14!!!
[Lap 14]: Now Charles hinting for team orders. Chaos children.
Cut to the Ferrari pitwall, I’m surprised they didn’t start playing clown music.
(Sorry to any Tifosi I assure you it’s coming from a place of utter disappointment)
[Lap 15]: oh god incoming Ferrari on Ferrari violence I don’t want
anyway people are starting to make their stops, Seb included, he’s out in P17.
Oh and so does Russell and Verstappen.
[Lap 17]: everybody do the pit stop shuffle!! *70s Disco music plays in the background*
[Lap 19]: cut to some focused Merc engineers
Hello Mr Merc mechanic 👋
[Lap 20]: I can only assume we’re already on Lap 20 bc the Hungaroring is so short bc the race is starting to drag a little bit.
[Lap 21]: “What do you do if you’re Ferrari?” I know Crofty was asking about strategy, but we do not have enough laps remaining to properly answer that question.
The RBR pitwall being immensely unbothered about Leclerc’s stop really sums up the 2022 season in a nutshell 😭
[Lap 22]: anyway, Seb watch: back into P14 after the pitstop shuffle!!!
[Lap 23]: oh jeez not live chat from the Ferrari pitwall. idk if I’m strong enough.
wsfuhaeuh nvm the connection either went or he’s just not answering.
[Lap 24]: oh not Dan picking his way past the Alpine squabble dvuhedsauh king shit
oh yes please replay that it was so funny
[Lap 25]: ah we are hearing from Binotto on the pitwall
SEB SIGHTING!!!!!
It was two seconds of the Number 5 Aston but I’m taking it with both hands
[Lap 27]: Leclerc into Russell’s DRS range 👀
oh god first mention of Seb’s retirement fuck off Crofty 😭😭😭😭😭😭
[Lap 28]: ohhhhhh Charles trying the outside of turn 2 on Russell
(Seb watch: P12 BABY!!!!!)
[Lap 29]: don’t cut to the pitwall show me the cars!!
(yes that even includes stressed Toto, there is stuff! happening! on! track!!!!)
[Lap 30]: ahhh so nearly on the inside of turn 2 and the outside of turn 4. Charles please think of my nerves.
This is fun to watch though
[Lap 31]: CHARLES GOES ROUND THE OUTSIDE OF TURN 1!!!!!
Yeah. That was hot. sorry not sorry.
and SEB PASSES ALONSO FOR P11!!!!!!
ugh down the inside of turn 1. NICE.
[Lap 32]: Ah. so much F1 tech, but sometimes you just gotta stick your hand out into the air and see if it’s wet or not. A Serious Sport™️
“It shouldn’t get any worse, famous last words” I find it so funny that commentators are aware of the Commentator’s Curse.
[Lap 35]: Half distance klaxon!!
I’m nether underwhelmed, overwhelmed, or even whelmed. It’s... a race I guess???
Seb onboard as he chases Esteban. And goes wide. It’s okay Seb I still adore you.
Livery watch: Aston Martin preeeeeeeetty 😍👌
[Lap 37]: So apparently the hard tyres aren’t working. Watch Ferrari use them at their second stop.
[Lap 38]: Oh no. There’s more raindrops on the cameras.
SEB PASSES OCON FOR P10!!!!!! 😭🙌
If I had a penny everytime Seb passed an Alpine on the inside of turn 1, I’d have two pennies. AND I LOVE IT.
[Lap 40]: Oh no Ferrari did pit Charles onto the hards I DIDN’T WANT TO BE RIGHT 😭
circus music
[Lap 41]: So Verstappen goes from P10 to P1 thanks to a combo of strategy, and OP car, and Ferrari clowning. Sounds about right.
oh. he spun.
[Lap 43]: Considering how pissed Charles was at his tyres, I don’t think he’s suddenly back in the race Crofty.
(I miss Alex Jacques comms SO MUCH. The things I do for Ted).
[Lap 45]: Well, the battle was tasty while it lasted.
Don’t hurt yourself trying to understand Ferrari’s clownery Crofty. Just call them fools and move on.
[Lap 46]: Lewis catching Sainz 👀
[Lap 47]: ahhhh AM doing the double stack
Pitstop shuffle 2 electric boogaloo! *80′s synth blares in the background*
Nooooo not Dan on Lance violence 😭 BOYS
[Lap 50]: Lance passes Dan and Seb passes Zhou. My lads!!! 💚
Team Green here to make passes into turn 1 and look gorgeous while doing so.
[Lap 51]: George catching Charles like it’s almost nothing. I will be taking a sledgehammer to those hard tyres. 
And Seb passed Dan into turn one for P12. niiiiice
[Lap 54]: And George goes round the outside of turn 1 to take P2.
They’re pitting Charles again. 🥲
I once again support Charles rights to burn shit down.
[Lap 55]: Bono I love you but please don’t mention anything about light rain I don’t want to hear it.
Yes, it would make the race spicy, but it would also make me stressed and it’s 25 to 1 in the morning as I watch this.
[Lap 57]: Lewis fastest lap!!! we love to see it!!!
oh yes please let’s manifest another Merc double podium. George and Lewis dragging the W13 kicking and screaming as they should.
[Lap 59]: oh not Mattia leaving the pitwall and walking to the back of the Ferrari garage. I think he figured out he just lost his job.
[Lap 60]: Nooo this was Bernie Collins’ last race with Aston?! We’ll miss you queen!!! 
[Lap 62]: Binotto watch: He’s back on the pitwall. Maybe he just needed a cathartic yell at the back of the garage.
oh yeah Lewis v Sainz let’s go!!!
[Lap 63]: And he makes the move down the main straight. NICE.
Angela’s proud happy clapping is a mood.
Oh Lance takes Bottas on the outside of turn 1??? NICE
oh fuck not Seb on Lance violence for P10 again. HELP.
[Lap 64]: Merc on Merc violence happening behind AM on AM violence. I’m not strong enough.
Oh Lewis with the switcheroo 👌
cut to the Astons, please play nice fellas.
[Lap 67]: SEB INTO P10 EVERYBODY MOVE
THAT’S MY BOYYYYYYYYYY 😭🙌💚
And Lewis on track for his 5th podium in a row. That’s my Kings!!!!
[Lap 68]: Oh no Bottas’ Alfa went poof.
[Lap 69]: Poor Charles’ suddenly worrying about his car. Lad’s gone from championship leader to being traumatised by reliability. 
IT’S RAINING?!
FUCK
screaming crying etc
[Lap70/Finish]: DRS disabled so it’s actually raining raining
*distressed yelling*
all while Seb’s chasing down Ocon.
LEWIS P2!!!!!!! SEB P18 TO P10, THAT’S MY BOYS 🖤💚
And fastest lap 👌
And he takes the record for most laps led a circuit. Legend behaviour.
Well... idk how I feel about that race tbh. There was some really good bits and kinda dull bits. The battles we had were good, but it again felt more of a strategy race than anything else. So a solid 6 front wings out of 10. Next race: Belgium!
