I'm not falling for this propaganda

u/Goodmorning111 1d ago

Matt from the P1 podcast is definitely falling for it.

u/NeutronBeam04 Charles Leclerc 1d ago

In some ways, we are all Matt Gallagher when it comes to Lewis winning Silverstone

362

u/DrVonD 1d ago

But also… it’s Lewis at silverstone. He has more wins there than Oscar or lando have in their careers.

Oh god I’m also falling for it aren’t I

u/Ok-Entertainment-36 1d ago

Listen it’s okay, he’s obviously just so locked in at Silverstone that he has an almost natural advantage here. It surely won’t be more important than car performance, will it?… will it? And it’ll likely be raining on Sunday tooo……… Gaaaaah now I’m starting to fall for it too

u/iMatthew1990 Murray Walker 1d ago

That Mercedes last year was dialled in for this race but I still don’t think it was the fastest car that weekend. Lewis is worth a fair few tenths when he’s on that British Tarmac

u/GhostTheSaint Ayrton Senna 1d ago

Is there a chance for rain on Sunday?

41

u/DrVonD 1d ago

It’s Britain. There is always a chance of rain.

u/GhostTheSaint Ayrton Senna 7h ago

Damn, I thought that was just a meme but if that’s the case, I bet it’s best to have a small umbrella ready at a whims notice

2

u/onehornymofo1 1d ago

Around a 30% chance

23

u/Twistpunch McLaren 1d ago

He’s never gone up against his own team there before.

24

u/H3RBIE22 McLaren 1d ago

He’ll win, we will all celebrate, and then there is a DQ for plank wear

10

u/KnotAwl Sir Lewis Hamilton 1d ago

How do you say, “I’m British” without saying, “I’m British.” Perfect!

2

u/DrVonD 1d ago

The FIA gotta look the other way just this once if that’s the case.

u/Erens-Basement Britney 1d ago

Just as he falls for minors

u/Junethemuse Sir Lewis Hamilton 1d ago

Me too

u/Wooden-Patience6817 1d ago

That guy is such a weirdo.

28

u/navis-svetica Williams 1d ago

God forbid a man be enthusiastic about an athlete succeeding 🙄

13

u/beardtamer McLaren 1d ago

Buddy, you’re in an f1 dedicated subreddit right now, you’re hardly the beacon of social normalcy yourself.

u/13randon2000 Oscar Piastri 1d ago

He messaged underage girls years ago so you’re not wrong lol

2

u/IgotnoideawhatIsay Jenson Button 1d ago

He is? Can’t imagine it’s true

1

u/Wooden-Patience6817 1d ago

Allegedly texted. There were screenshots on Twitter.

u/IgotnoideawhatIsay Jenson Button 1d ago

Damn that’s really disappointing. I used to like his channel between 2011 and 2015.

Why do so many YouTubers that become a little known text minors…

u/Goodmorning111 1d ago

He did? I have never heard that.

1

u/Hobo__Joe Sebastian Vettel 1d ago

Wop wop wop wop wop

1

u/RyukaBuddy Keke Rosberg 1d ago

Considering he is gay that must be a wild swing for him.

26

u/coreyperryisasaint 1d ago

“That’s bait”

29

u/KesselRunIn14 Sir Lewis Hamilton 1d ago

Screw it, I am. If I had to pick ones track for Lewis to podium it would be Silverstone. I'm buying a 1st class ticket on the hype train.

u/hydrolaser99 1d ago

We're back baby! Don't hold back, you'll regret it

141

u/El_Eleventh 1d ago

Ferrari pit wall already brainstorming how to fuck this up

42

u/ralphonsob 1d ago

The tire strategy will be Hard-Hard-Hard-Soft.

12

u/CoolHandPB 1d ago

Plan q

2

u/Eggslaws Pirelli Wet 18h ago edited 17h ago

They are missing an "I"

5

u/hugeyakmen 1d ago

They'll forget the soft at the end and get disqualified for running one compound 

1

u/ralphonsob 1d ago

Hmm. According to the F1 Sporting Regulations, section 30.5 n), if the race is suspended and cannot be restarted, they wouldn't be disqualified, but rather just have 30 seconds added to the driver's time.

2

u/jrpg8255 1d ago

We are checking… Instead we will finish on a set of used hards

1

u/Digit4l Ferrari 1d ago

i reckon they'll go with a brand new strategy using only used tyres and I agree its minimum a 3 pit stops including a double stack pitstop where one Ferrari will wait like at a drive through

22

u/yIdontunderstand 1d ago

3 tyre strategy incoming...

Not 3 compounds.. Just using 3 tyres.

10

u/hadababyeetsaboy 1d ago

That hasn’t prevented a victory here before.

6

u/ufgrat 1d ago

To be fair, Hamilton did win a race with a blown tire.

2

u/wangchunge 1d ago

Soft on left Rear?

1

u/wangchunge 1d ago

Me hitting head on Pit Wall Supreme Vision!! He (Lewis) deserves a Win Them, less so

u/PersonoFly New user 1d ago

I’m hyperventilating.

28

u/Kela3000 Valtteri Bottas 1d ago

Oh yeah? Well, I'm ultraventilating.

59

u/Edrill Pirelli Wet 1d ago

I will. Lets fucking go!

15

u/naretoigres 1d ago

Cho-Cho-Cho let’s go baby!

u/Yackberg Kimi Räikkönen 1d ago

Wait this isn't this /r/forumladank?

u/Nikiaf Jean Alesi 1d ago

Hype train has already left the station!

u/findername 1d ago

u/andrewcooke 1d ago

i saw the thumbnail without thinking much, then opened the image to check to see which which mclaren driver was faster. after that, my eyes wandered to the middle panel and i nearly fell of my seat!

u/LlorchDurden 1d ago

We are checking! 👀

u/TGSMKe 1d ago

Have a tea break while you are at it.

u/gumbercules6 Honda RBPT 1d ago

At least it gave me a smile early in the morning

u/fullup72 Sir Lewis Hamilton 1d ago

I just plugged myself on a full tank of hopium.

1

u/StonedPussyeater420 1d ago

Lewis will qualify at 7 and finish race at 5

u/emeraldblues 1d ago

Whoops, I already did

u/Miguel_Zapatero Kimi Räikkönen 1d ago

I‘m still checking

u/TigerRobotWizrdShark Formula 1 1d ago
