Alpine/Ocon! Max damaged, Hamilton/Alonso Battle. Reactions & Highlights (Hungarian Grand Prix 2021)
Gaming Channel: / framedropgaming Hungarian Grand Prix 2021 Pre Race Notes Rumors of Alpha Tauri getting tired of Yuki’s attitude. This was something I mentioned earlier to keep an eye out for The hopes were high for a wet race today Redbull having to change power plants before the race Favorite sign I have ever seen. “Eat Pasta & Drive Fasta.” Lando is excited for the rain which makes me excited. But they are starting on slicks for the time being. Race Start A massive crash from the beginning! Bottas slid into the back of Lando and Bottas hit both Red Bull’s took out the entire field of leaders. Bottas retire Leclerc retire Perez retire Stroll retired The wet race has started out very exciting. Red flag, holy shit Review Valteri just was blown away at the line, tried to gain a little with breaking late and he just caused the massive pile up Stroll with one of biggest bone head moves I’ve seen by cutting up the inside into the grass and just smash into the Ferrari Massive repairs being done to the Red Bull’s, mclerans, and Ferrari’s I blame it on just a lack of exposure to wet conditions this year. And current standings Ham Ocon Vettel Sainz Tsunoda Latifi Alonso Russell Raikonen Schumacher Gasly Ricciardo Verstappen Mazepin Norris - retired Giovinazzi And then we got the horrible news that Lando was out of the race, Devastated that his points streak is over And seemingly, Redbull was able to pull off another miracle getting the car back together Being held together with tape, glue, and hope Lando’s pissed, mclarens pit wall is pissed, Ricciardo is pissed. And all eyes are on Valteri Race restart Many teams coming in for medium tires, and Hamilton is the only one starting the race. WHAT IS HAPPENING!? Mercedes with a massive error not coming in Russell is in 2nd! And then Russell just started falling back to 7th per FIA order Ocon into 1st Vettel 2nd Latifi 3rd And Lewis is in last!? Kimi was released into the path of mazepin causing a collision and Retiring the Haas Russell yelling to the team compromise his race strategy to do whatever they can to score points for the team Ocon in 1st looking calm like he belonged there with vettel a 4 time world champion breathing down his neck. Lewis having massive break issues Verstappens damage is keeping him from passing anyone, he is stuck behind Schumacher in the Haas. That is a sentence I thought I would say. Verstappen just saying “I’m doing I for dale ” and just banging into Schumacher to get around lol n lap 15 Its a race through the field with Hamilton chasing Max and it is so exciting, Mercedes really screwed up the strategy with allowing Lewis to start on the grid and not bring him in The clean air was just showing it was king again, it is so hard for these cars to follow on this track. Alpine looking very nimble in the corners Lewis coming in lap 20 for hard tires/tyres Ricciardo and Max come in the next lap for hard tires/tyres The undercut worked for Mercedes and Hamilton was able to get in front of Max Lap 30 Mick Schumacher leading the DRS train holding up Russell, Ricciardo, and Max. All the while Lewis was pulling away on his own new strategy. Russell up into P9 with a great outside move Vettel and Ocon both pit and the race for the lead is back on between Alpine and Aston Martin With 30 to go it was looking like Hamilton might be able to do one of his miraculous comebacks. But we were waiting to see if Mercedes is going to do a 2 stop. Pierre on lap 41 with one of the most beautiful lunges I have ever seen on Latifi Verstappen coming in again with a 1.8 second pit stop. His team is just lightning fast. Lap 48 Lewis coming in for his 2nd stop to try and get some pace, and now the race is on for Lewis and another with with 22 to go. The battle we have between Alonso and Hamilton was just incredible, with Lewis on much newer and softer tires. The battle of the world champions was just electric. Tire touching angry driving at each other and with Alonso’s lock up allowed Lewis through on lap 65 Announced that Bottas will have a 5 place grid penalty going into the next race Lewis able to take P3 and Carlos was gutted he couldn’t hold him back. And can you believe it!? Ocon with the race win! Vettel in 2nd Russell in the points!! Gasly able to take away fastest lap point from Lewis. So excited for Esteban. Lewis has taken the lead in the championship points and Mercedes have taken the lead as a team as well. The celebrations were great, overall electric race. Things are shaken up, and that’s all we need
