This is a great story! Was the trophy replaced? Terribly expensive! Wow! thank you for that bit of helmet and trophy info. Great story!
Thank you Michael! 🏎️💨
My pleasure!
Great guide. Thank you very much. Will be my first time in the Dutch GP this weekend. Have book a motorbike to be there. Is this a good option or should I stick to the train option you suggest?
I am going to take the train, but motobike is an interesting option. Please let me know how it goes
Great photos Michael. I like your hair cut. I really enjoy your update/recaps. 🙂🇨🇦
Thanks so much! That was a Budapest special!
It is evident that you do so much work for this channel. You content and photos are stellar. Can I recommend some exciting background music while you are talking? You talk very softly, possibly a stronger voice. Nice work overall and bear in mind my comments are meant to help 😅
Great suggestion! Thank you so much. I’ve thought about music but struggled to find something that doesn’t overpower. Maybe because I speak so softly :)
@MichaelPottsF1 we watch Stephanie Jarvis, and know she used to be an opera singer. I also sang and played the flute. There is something about using your diaphragm to breathe that could help you to project your voice. Again, I'm only trying to be helpful 😃
@@MichaelPottsF1 how about some nice roaring of the forula one engines like they use offical F1 shows, for music/sound?
Thanks, Mr. Potts! Can’t wait for the weekend and for your next update and photos to follow it up.
You bet! Thank you so much!
What a S c r a m b l e so far! Who da thunk it after 2023 ?! Lovely compilation of shots too. 2nd half - Go PBG😊
Glad you enjoyed it! I can't wait for the weekend :)
Thanks Michael, good recap for me - I have the memory of a goldfish 😄
haha - so did I when doing this, SO MUCH happened this year!
You must be tired from all this good work thanks for everything love listening to you
Thank you so much! That is so kind!
Thanks Michael for your recap and amazing photos. I hope you’ve enjoyed your half season break! 😀🇦🇺
I did! But I can't wait to get back to it! Thank you!
Missed you at Stephanie's Birthday party. Great recap. Hoping for an interesting 2nd half.
I know :( I was guttered not to be there!
I think it’s a wonderful design. Best to keep it away from Phillip Janssen. LOL!
Haha! I hope he enjoyed this one ;)
6:37 only residents (and probably some race staff) are allowed to drive with cars into the zandvoort area. Please dont bother trying if you dont have a "RVV ontheffing" its a waste of your time and my time because you will be sent away.
Even people with Paddock club or Media parking passes can't get close. It is the most public transport friendly race of the year!
Lando's helmet is beautiful. It would be amazing to own a piece of Herend porcelain. 🙂🇨🇦
It would be! I went to the store in Budapest, it is amazing!
Wow! I have been admiring it and wondering if he was a porcelain fan. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate you sharing the story behind it. Thanks!
They offered him a job, so lets see what he does after his F1 career!
I was wondering about that helmet design change! I don’t recall F1TV mentioning it at all in any of the pre- post- or race coverage. I was going to google it but forgot! Thanks Michael! It was a really pretty helmet!
Glad you found that interesting
Great photo's and commentary! Thanks Michael!
Glad you enjoyed it
Sad for GR! But as you say rules are rules. Sad that with all the money they have no clue that making a choice in race is smart to win. Harp back at when they decided to change the rules right at the end of the season and a race. It’s all a little funky. For the good of the owners and sponsors
Silly season!!! Great photos once again Michael!!!
Thank You for these fantastic shots!! Great commentary!
Are the cars weiged at the start?
The FIA only weigh the cars at the end of the race. They have two scales one inside and one out. It’s the teams responsibility to have the car above the weight limit after the race. The teams have their own scales and they weigh the cars before and after each session.
Thank you for your interesting (always interesting) summary of the race ... poor ole George ... one minute he was a tyre whispering genius and the next totally gutted ... such a pity. I take your interesting point about the tyre deg though. I am a tad concerned about Lando ... he doesnt look a 'happy bunny' ... lets hope he gets back 'on track' over the summer break.
Amazing uploads! Loaded with photos and info, great pace and editing. Thank you!
Great video Michael! I really appreciate your run down. I was away and tried watching on my phone. But then I had leave the hotel with 6 laps to go. I feel badly for George and not just because he's a part of my Fantasy Team, he raced well and deserved to win. I'm happy that Carlos signed at Williams. I think Alpine are lost. 🙂🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s gutting for George. Poor kid.
Another great report and fabulous photos! So pleased that you will be posting during the break. My brother and I have been in mourning all week in anticipation of having no races for the next several weekends! I very much liked the “ghost” car in the rain shot. I agree with your sentiments concerning poor George. The strategy was brilliant and deserved consideration, not a flat out disqualification.
Brilliant photos as usual, Michael. I always enjoy your summary of the race and I was so disappointed for George as he drove a brilliant race! 😀🇦🇺
Its very sad for George but i understand why its done 🤷🏻♀️
Many thanks. Very informative and great pictures 😊
PBG robbed! I didn't watch this race - kinda glad I missed it. Super shots, Michael. Fav is at timestamp 6:49 💥
It is worth a watch - a very exciting race.
Thanks Michael! that’s just awful. the judges should have their reviews and decisions buttoned up before handing out a reward. that was terrible. on a lighter note, great shots! 🏎️💨
Thank you so much! Hopefully there will be a rule change for next year!
LOVE YOUR PICTURES
Thank you!!!!
i am almost done with these disqualifications so many crazy things I feel sick for these guys
My heart broke for George. This is what F1 should be about - tyre weight should not be an issue.
always happy to get your take merci
Glad to hear that - Thank you!!
Felt so sorry for George to have his win stripped away
It was so cruel. I didn't see him after the news - but he can't have been happy.
Hey Michael! Hope you are well buddy! Yeah the race has been eclipsed by the choices yet again from McLaren. Lando held on until later to prove a point. Which he did as Oscar was not catching up with him. But he was always going to give the spot back. The whole Max thing is a farce. He for 2 years has not been up against it. And the moment he is! Well slipped back into his old ways. Dishing his team the strategy and every other driver whom is wrong. But not him. He is a fantastic driver but! I have no respect for him. He is like a spoilt child. If you look back! Others got a 10 second penalty for less. We will see what Spa brings today. But I do expect there to be some kind of conflict. It is Spa🙌🤣
What did you think of spa? There is just so much going on at each race. Its brilliant
I love the photo of the champagne over the hat. He hardly looks old enough to drink legally 🤷♀️
He is not old enough to drink in Hungary - he is only 17 years old. He turns 18 next month, lets see if the celebrations change!
I'm still confused. Was "Do the right thing" meant to give team morale boost to Oscar? Isn't that a deviation from usual practice of rank preference for the lead driver? Great photos - luv those sparks!
OK Michael ... you are right ... that was a brilliant review of the Lando/Oscar fiasco. It was very uncomfortable to witness though. Loved the picture of Perez with his very own dark cloud ... one gets the feeling that that cloud is following him everywhere. Lots of shots of you on the Channel 4 Highlights prog.
Loving your commentary on F1, drivers, pit crew. Very informative. Perfectly done. Short, but to the point. Great voice!!! See you at LaLande ♥️
Bittersweet win for Oscar! I have mixed emotions, as an Aussie I’m happy for Oscar but also sorry for Lando as I’m not a fan of team orders! I hope it doesn’t end up dividing the team. Hopefully McLaren get their pit strategy sorted for SPA as the last two races have been a disaster! Always enjoy your photos Michael and your race summary. 😀🇦🇺
why the heck did they let him go ahead this is so wrong love your photos
Thanks. It’s an interesting one. I doubt many teams would have switched it.
The drivers all seem so young🙃 🫣Maybe its because I’m getting old!
You may remember LH saying, when asked to let Bottas by"if he can catch me I'll let him pass" I thought radio messages were better than the race. Always great pic's, I like the one on the straight with the big yellow Pirelli board. How the heat wave reflects.
I remember that. The mirage was incredible. I was lucky that the cars were not very distorted. It was very hot.
I think the sad thing about this race is it’s turned a united team and fan base against each other. I really loved how this team fought for each other. Pit wall was very clear at the time of pitting that this was NOT an undercut on Oscar and they were protecting Lando’s second place. I was so happy that they all have so much trust and respect for each member of that team that they had the option to do this! I mean what a trick to have up your sleeve in an important closer race! Lando stuffed it. He not only ruined the trust that the team had in him, but he made himself look like a brat and he selfishly took the shine off Oscars first win. It wasn’t nonchalance, he is a shy and calm person who with the entire F1 community watching, just had his race win marred by his team mate. He apologised!! He should never have been made to feel like he didn’t earn that win!
Another great video Michael. I was not a fan of the outcome of the race. I have never liked team orders. And I feel that Lando should have won the race. Maclaren's strategy didn't work the way they had wanted it to. That's racing. David Coulthard said in commentary that he wished he hadn't followed team orders and let Mika pass. Once you do that they will expect you to do it again. The pressure they poured on Lando when he's trying to concentrate on his job, to race cars was awful. 🙂🇨🇦
I think it’s a bit different in this case. Usually team orders are given to give one driver a better chance in the championship. It doesn’t happen often to correct a team decision. When David did it, it made him a number 2 driver, I don’t think that is the case here.
@@MichaelPottsF1 I hope not.
Like always, great photography! Hugs from NY
Thanks so much! How are you doing?
Je verteld het zo spannend dat ik het weer herbeleef 😃👍👍👍De foto’s zijn weer spectaculair !
❤❤❤ 🙌👍 amazing recap and pictures
Thank you 🙌
What an exciting, fast paced job you have! Surrounded by beautiful, rich people and very fast cars. I bet you're never bored! But kinda dangerous, so be careful.
It is never boring :)
Your photography is always stunning! The race on the other hand was a wild ride! McLaren needs get their pit strategy together. They screwed Piastri by pitting Norris then screwed Lando when his car was obviously the faster of the two. The radio talk was painful to listen to and, in my option, kinda unprofessional. On one hand I’m glad for Piastri but feel bad for Norris as well. As for Max, he whines too much when things don’t go his way. Perez went over to the dark side with RB and it’s sucking his soul.
Thank you. I’m trying to decide if McLaren might have played a blinder despite it looking messy. Team orders always blow up, regardless of how they are done. Maybe the fall out from this one isn’t as destructive as others.
My thoughts exactly.
Michael- Great recap. I totally disagree with Max.
Thank you :) I’m interested to see what max says this weekend
