You can literally run faster than the average speed lol

[@worldracingassociation9406]

The fact that Crofty and Brundle kept us entertained for nearly 4 hours is impressive. They always find something to talk about. Amazing.

[@KayJblue]

They are why I love practice sessions, very entertaining blokes.

[@ajcF1]

Brundle and Coulthard were amazing during the red flag in Canada 2011. It really made that race al the more memorable for me.

[@grga2581]

They talked about everything that was on screen from Alpine team playing rummy to Marshalls playing stone throwing 😂😂

[@rizkyanandita8227]

@@KayJblue Pre season testing and Practice session is like hanging out with a friend and occasionally commenting on the TV.

[@stacysgrapesoda800]

It was also the the people at the garages and the drivers who put on a show every single time a camera was directed at them.They were playing games, smiling for the cameras, trying to entertain the spectators at the grand stands. And the social media admins of the official team accounts were on fire 🔥. Their interactions were so funny. They had amazing banter. Twitter was full of memes. In a weird way, it was a very uniting event that brought everyone in the f1 community together.

[@HaydonGullis]

That was actually the most kick ups ive ever done 🤣😭

[@ShadowRacing]

What a thrilling race! George Russell drove a fantastic race and was sooo fast that even Max in a Red Bull wasn't able to pull away! Driver of the Day by far goes to Alan Van De Merwe for keeping us entertained by going around in the medical car.

[@jasoncp3257]

Less than 2 seconds behind what an absolute master class drive, and what a race from Latifi, managed to keep, Bottas, Sainz, Perez, Norris and of course Lance Stroll.

[@joribremer5260]

Tommo is still screaming (I can hear it from here ) that Russell scored a p2 today… ;)

[@thomasvrielink299]

...IN A WILLIAMS!

[@shvkpr1]

"We could be here for 4 hours" The protagonist was indeed foreshadowing. He did wait for 4 hours. In fact, he waited for more than 4 hours. He waited for eternity

[@produde5423]

Russel on the podium best thing of the day

Don’t forget the 🐏 getting the fastest lap

huge credit for you guys uploading this so quicly after a incredible race

[@jamesstevenson9340]

@IsThatGlock? yeah even mazepin showed a great performance even getting fastest lap

[@Reece_Hart]

I can really say as an Australian I sure did love watching this weekend's race. Totally worth not going to bed until after 3am for it

[@Shelmer75]

Preach bro. Same here. Absolute pain. Thankfully I’m a United fan and had been trying to decide if I was going to watch their game and well, this made that decision easier.

[@Corvoreviews]

imagine us brazilians with australia 91 hahahah

[@deeznoots6241]

Lol I didn’t sleep all weekend just for that

[@hunterwelcher5485]

Still can't believe they had us watch a track get rained on for 6 hours just to do 2 laps.

[@brunoalves5339]

Did you wanted them to call off the race 15 minutes after the original start time?

[@Gjacobsfan1]

@@brunoalves5339 better then waiting for hours

[@brunoalves5339]

@@Gjacobsfan1 No its not better, the best thing they can do is to wait the maximum possible time to try to have at least some racing, which was what they did, calling off a race with still time left is nonsense.

[@empress_alex]

@@brunoalves5339 But if you're going to restart the "race" then actually let the drivers race each other and don't just do two laps behind the safety car and then call it a day and award half points.

[@carlalavega9828]

@@empress_alex sure let them race with 0 visibility. they said they couldn't even see the lights of the car in front of them. there would have been a serious crash, that's just unnecessary

[@mtrps_]

kate is genuinely funny lol 😂 cant get enough of her

[@luccass6793]

I love all the reactions trying to be happy for Russell in between the pure disappointment of this non-race. That was me as well, trying to find some silver lining for today

[@Traxxmaciek]

This season has it all. 2 out of 11 races where all drivers have finished the race have been this season

[@Joanimater]

0:52 Haydon actually predicted it

[@SteveFTW5]

I JUST PICKED THAT UP

[@KayJblue]

Or maybe he looked at the forecast lol.

[@KlaximumSkroeft]

I was sat there at Radillion with my friends, after 3 days of drinking and having lived in Belgium all my life, we saw where it was going. We gave up after an hour of waiting. Absolutely miserable. Happy for George though, I guess.

[@alexrobertssings]

I'm impressed you guys even managed 8 minutes of content out of this🤣🤣

[@ghostlyrazgriz5228]

Fun fact: The drivers with the fastest laps in the last two FIA International races that awarded half points were Nikita Mazepin and..... Nikita Mazepin. He had fastest lap in the F2 Sochi Sprint Race last year when Aitken and Ghiotto crashed
