Episode 324 hundredth 2021 f1 russian grand prix

Just when you thought this Formula 1 season couldn’t get any stranger, we get a archetype race of the year contender… At Sochi. Objectively, one of the worst tracks on the calendar. We really HAVE seen everything.

From the moment we knew it was going to be a largely wet weekend, there was moreover potential for shenanigans, and we got that in Quali. Because who else needed an Internet favourites Top 3 of Norris’s 1st pole, Sainz and George Russell (AGAIN!) Hamilton 4th without two spins, and Verstappen now at the when without taking flipside power unit. Madness.

We had Carlos Sainz lead for a while, but Norris took when control, cars running long thinking the rain would come but didn’t, and Lewis Hamilton ended up stuck overdue a McLaren again.

Audio Version:

With 6 laps to go, we thought it was going to be Norris vs Hamilton for the win, then the rain unquestionably landed, as opposed to half an hour AFTER the race like it usually did. We talked well-nigh the intense dancing in the rain and whether Norris lost this race, or whether Hamilton won it. We moreover discuss the title fight as Verstappen stole 2nd at the death, Bottas shithoused a 5th despite looking useless, and Sergio Perez crapped the specie basket again.

We moreover requite Carlos Sainz his flowers for a sunny 3rd place and talk well-nigh how he might be the most under-appreciated suburbanite in the field where the midfield has all had moments of radiance themselves.

And we definitely gushed over Hamilton’s 100th victory. That’s definitely why Dre dressed up as Eoin Morgan from Cricket’s “The Hundred”. Honest…

(PS: Don’t worry, we didn’t forget you IndyCar fans, trammels when VERY soon for our season finale coverage on Long Beach and Alex Palou’s title win!)
