amazing double win for our beloved antonio! but the best moments is when evans and gelael cheer for matsushita's accident!!! biggest instant karma moment of the video! lolllllllllll
If I'm not mistaken, that same Matsushita is still competing in F2 five years later. His window of opportunity to get snapped up by an F1 team is probably over at this point, but I remember an announcer saying the same about Marcus Ericsson during a Monaco GP2 race years ago and he raced in F1 long enough to be immortalized in a meme.
All of the turn 1 incidents is when the public room host sneakily turns off ABS in an F1 2020 lobby. So many lockups, it's a good thing the runoff is the size of a parking lot
The Grand Prix which followed that weekend was extremely quiet compared to the GP2 races and most F1 fans declared Baku a terrible track of Sochi-level tedium, after just one F1 race had been held there. How wrong they'd be just a year later, when it appeared as though the GP2 grid from 2016 had taken over the F1 cars! I just knew it'd be a matter of time before there'd be some similar chaos in F1 too
The quality of the field was very low at this year. Yes Gasly, Evans, Rowland and Giovinazzi are good drivers but the rest of the field isnt really good. Some average drivers like Lynn, Sirotkin or Latifi and the rest ist just bad.
woah woah woah. part of the clip in the 10:50 range said Matsushita was banned from the next race, lap 10 restart incident if I'm following but then lap 14 restart has Matsushita getting caught up in an incident. The hell is this? kick a man when he's down? Good thing I don't normally watch these races because I think that's a b.s. penalty. guy gets banned for the next race, gets caught up in an incident while trying to finish the current race, that seems a bit excessive.
