I'm definitely in the group that thought Ferrari had thrown it away not pitting Kimi during VSC. I even said it out loud. "...and this is where Ferrari loses this race for Kimi."
Despite the fact that he has a faster car than 75% of the grid, and none of the midfield drivers defended against him, sure it was pretty impressive...
I think Kimis victory united the whole F1 community. From Merc fanboys to Ferrari fanboys and to those who hate, just to hate. I don't think i saw ANY negative comment about it.
The neeeeow guy was Giedo Banter Garde 🙈if you watch the highlights from the race on the f1 channel you have to watch till the end too hear Giedo:”doei doei doei”
Can we all admit that Kimi defending off Hamilton while on dead tyres was one of the best pieces of driving done against Hamilton we've seen in a long time? Old man Kimi still has it
I'm not a Ferrari fan, but I absolutely *loved* that Kimi won! Even better, it was such a great fight for so many laps between three of the most exciting racers on the track. Though like others, heart sank for Ricciardo. It's not fair :( Btw, I think Ferrari told Vettel to let Kimi through because he stood the best chance of winning. By winning he kept Vettel's championship open because of the difference in points for the podium places. It made perfect sense for once.
One of the factors that made this race so great was that after pit stops there were suddenly pace differences of more than two seconds which led to more or less interesting strategies (Hamilton) instead of the normal "take the hardest tyre after ~1/3 of the race distance and cruise to the finish on it"
Best Internet Reacts I've seen so far Matt! The pacing of the vid was great, the timing of the team social media part was great, and you didn't overuse that side cam. Love it! Also, great coat
Can I just point out that Brendon Hartley started from last, and ended up finishing 11th, but after disqualifications finished 9th, in a Toro Rosso powered by Honda. That is a great drive, that is why Hartley should be on the grid in 2019
So I'm from Germany, and the funniest thing for me was : at lap 28 the commentator says Lewis can drive with this soft Tyres also at the Mexican gp 3 laps later the Tyres from Lewis starst to blister 😂😂😂
@@Niklas_-ec8zy to be fair: Christian Danner is ok, but Wasser and Ebel are as terrible as the thousands of RTL adverts (watch football this evening, take part in our lotterie, do...)
You could say vettel had an unlucky spin against Hamilton, but the other 2 were his own fault, then you factor in Germany where he crashed out, Baku where he locked up going to aggressive against Bottas? Maybe vettel just ain't all that? And just shows how good that red bull really was!
Best Grand Prix of the season for me. This US GP is the first F1 GP I have ever attended, although I have been watching and following for years. Entering the grand stands along the start / finish straight and looking into Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull garages, I nearly cried. And then again, being a Kimi fan, his victory for the first time in five years. Danny Ricc's retirement from the race, Max storming through the field and battling Lewis, Vettel's recovery after spinning. Could not have asked for a better first race, so emotional.
Kimi's last win was actually Australia 2013 Matt. Great video as always, especially the Homer Simpson "Squirrel!" moment at the end. I remember Kimi's first win in Malaysia. He's always been my favourite, if for no other reason than the fact that he radiates cool in a Steve McQueen kind of way and there have been times when I honestly didn't think he'd win again. As you said, best race of the year. Wonder how many other guys in their 50s were jumping up and down in their living rooms when Kimi crossed the line. Couldn't be happier for him. Do you think Ferrari is letting the wrong driver go? Imagine Kimi as a mentor to your lad Charles! Epic.
They did Jonty, they did. Kimi just drove brilliantly / perfectly to make up for it. Had Lewis actually stayed out rather than pitting could easily have been a different result.
COTA's social media team are complete legends. During the lead-up to the 2016 United States Grand Prix, Haas F1 asked their followers on Facebook what turn was the best to sit at during the race, and COTA responded with something like, the correct answer is all 20.
that 2nd close up camera looks way better (quality) then the main one! btw i liked the social media things of redbull when they where dissing COTA about the verstoper haha
The NEEOOWW guy was hilarious! I also could have sworn that during the Japanese GP I heard someone singing the F1 theme in the background as well! I was either during the pre-race show or during the race, can't remember.
I was in the car on my way home watching the race and my dad was paying attention on the road and asked me if the commentator had a stroke or smth because he said that Seb let Kimi through. :)
Best race so far indeed. I flipped out my self too when Lewis pitted for the second time because of blistering and then finally Kimi wins. So happy for Iceman!
Vettel already told us but not everybody undestands it.... He is taking risk he has nothin to lose.... I can't blame him until he doesen't ruin somebodys race... Thank you for your attention😊
Matus Vincze ferrari fucked him over and he didn't exactly do much to convince the fans as well. Stupid strategy from ferrari in Italy to let kimi fight with seb, and then all of their supposed "upgrades" apart from front wing bombed the car. They've actually gone back to specifications of 3 months back to be competitive again, now that's blowing the season in some fashion.
We have to notice how degrading tires made for a great race, just like in Austria. In this race, there was no clearly defined better strategy, the one stop and two stop were pretty much equal. Nice to see a great battle between the leaders for once. This is one of the rare instances where the front battle is better than the midfield one. It will be hard for Mexico to top this one!
It's a shame you're only spending 15 sec on the world performance of verstappen and I'm not really a verstappen fan. But no harsh feeling to you m8, I'm an absolute fan of your vids.
I was literally begging Ferrari to not pit under VSC cause I was sure tires would not last. I got so scared by Räikkönen’s fake pit. I feel like a team should hire me as a tactical director
I actually called it during the race - When Hamilton pitted under VSC I thought that Mercedes had made a tactical error - Ferrari got the strategy bang on! Also - Loving how the squirrel was stealing the spotlight from Matt! XD
In Terms of the NEEOW guy, It happened in NASCAR a few weeks back where someone basically got into the radio signals for the drivers and started shouting at the drivers etc, no idea if they're related because the noises started on the helicopter so there wasn't any fans nearby, unless one found a microphone trackside, idk if they're related but it seems to be an American thing, I was confused at first
That "NEEOW" noise is Ricciardo imagining himself in the race! 😂
I think the new 2021 cars should be mandated to have polystyrene speech bubbles with the word _NEEEEEEOW_ on it attached to the exhaust...
I was waiting for Matt to talk about it - it was hilarious. No seriously, I thought I was hallucinating about it.
Poor Danny :( maybe he’ll catch some luck in Mexico...
@@WTF1official the neeow guy was van der garde i think
It was first name lastname with a new carreer
If you didn't think Ferrari bottled it, you're either a visionary or a person time travelling
I honestly thougt that mercedes threw the race away, no way hamilton could go to the end
Kimi couldn`t pit because he would`ve ended up behind Bottas and we know what happens then
Yeah, don't put those Finns anywhere near each other... bad things, man.
I thought they had until I realised Mercedes put soft tyres on. Then I knew Kimi had a real chance.
Or you hoped even if it was Impossible, because that was Kimis Chance to win
Just a moment for Brendon
From p20 > p9
And for Max
From p18 > p2
palmboom on the beach good mention since Matt, being the max hater he is, spended a whole 15 seconds on Verstappen his great drive. What a douche.
@@emperorkebab yes, Ocon and Magnussen got disqualified because they used to much fuel.
The replay of him passing Gasly and the McLaren is superb.
@@bjrnchrstn You clearly didn't watch the IBR for the Japanese Grand Prix. He explains himself there.
and for kimi
Vettal u spin me right round baby right round
Like my championships over right round round round
He will probably win again with Ferrari. He's just a bit out of sorts right now for some reason.
I'm definitely in the group that thought Ferrari had thrown it away not pitting Kimi during VSC. I even said it out loud. "...and this is where Ferrari loses this race for Kimi."
Yeah me too i said to my dad that this is it
Didn’t we all!!!
Mee too
Me too, mate.
Yeah, same for me
Let’s take a moment to clap for Max’s great race 18th to 2nd
Despite the fact that he has a faster car than 75% of the grid, and none of the midfield drivers defended against him, sure it was pretty impressive...
@@AdamantJHS salty
Not really, just stating what is obvious to non fanboys.
@Mae Popping ton getting fifth would've been easy, but getting second would've been pretty good with a normal grid position let alone from damn 18th
AdamantJHS but 9 overtakes in a lap is impressive even if every car was a Williams
Fully lost it at the end when Matt shouted squirrel
Sadly that was a pigeon!
@@mmahgoub Wat? xD
@@nokedlih9141 lol I mean pigeon
Squirrel🐿️
I actually cried of happines to see my childhood hero win after such a gap
12:01 Ha you were thinking about Abu Dhabi 2012. It was Australia 2013
Yup by the time Abu Dhabi rolled around that year they'd just been handing Seb the winner's trophy at the start of almost every weekend.
He said 2013 Abu Dhabi 😂😂

NNNNEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!! that noise at the start of the video and the squirrel I could not stop laughing BEST UA-cam CHANNEL EVER
I think it's van der garde (check his insta)
@@ramram1965 I checked yeah I think it is the lad Giedo Van De Garde

The noise was ban-ter garde himself
@@PeterPaul-wz5db LOL that was hilarious
Kimi for president bwoah
Bwoah is the start of the sentence. So the correct order would be:
Bwoah, Kimi for president.
Still the message is right
Shut up Nico. What have you ever done?
The neeeeow guy was Giedo Banter Garde 🙈if you watch the highlights from the race on the f1 channel you have to watch till the end too hear Giedo:”doei doei doei”
Seriously?!
Ik had niet eens gehoord doei doei doei haha
lololol
WTF1 yes just watch till the end😂🙈and look at Giedo his instagram
just watched and i heard it, btw giedo and max ere great friends
Shoutout to those who notices matts got a new phone
Wow you really do notice the finer details!
@@WTF1official nice 📞📱📲🏁🏎
waquzy XS
@@WTF1official i hope you know more of racing then phones
You noticed the phone meanwhile Matt noticed the squirrel 🐿💨🏁😂
The best bit about seb letting kimi through was when even kimi had to ask to clear up that seb was gonna let him past
Never seen before: Max Verstappen's shoe was literally broke after the race! Now THATS A SHOEY!!
How did that happen? Did red bull dich the Renault engine for bike pedals?
No they probably kept the drive train off of that bike-taxi-cart thing he and Danny were tooling around Singapore in
Matt, video was almost as good as KIMI WINNING.
Kimi Number 1 🏁🏎👍😁🇫🇮
Just almost! :D
FUCKING FINALLY!!
The "NEEOW" guy is actually a racing driver by the name of Giedo van der Garde.

That noise is the elephant in the room....which is Force India getting disqualified after the race for using too much fuel.
Ben Hewitt well Ocon
Haha! good one 😂

Ngl, I genuinely thought Merc would get points for the GTA San Andreas reference.
Ikr
It was an extremely close week and anyone could’ve scored points tbh!
Musa Falalu what when?
Sealizer Merc replied to Torro Rosso’s KFC tweet with Big Smoke’s order from San Andreas.
Best Internet Reacts I've seen so far Matt! The pacing of the vid was great, the timing of the team social media part was great, and you didn't overuse that side cam. Love it!
Also, great coat

Can we take a moment to acknowledge Hartley’s start, it was brilliant
Kimi deserves the win for sure!
By far my favorite race of the season - arguably the best race of the season. But at very least my favorite! 🇺🇸
I remember hearing the guy, I remember saying to myself that that's going on WTF1.
And you weren’t wrong 😉
You had me at Verstopper lol 😂
I shited mu self when haering live NEEEEOW,best fan ever he should be hired by Liberty media
It wasn't a fan, it was Giedo van der Gaarde.
well, he's a fan too xD
Been waiting for this all day!!!!
12:25 me when Raikkonen crossed the finish line
4:46 that meme was used in last year's Internet's best reactions for the USA gp
Where was the Brendon Hartley mention?? Starting 20th to finish 9th???
Thanks for the mention guys!

i know its a joke but, it was Giedo ^^

What a crazy a race and my first GP ever. Got to see it from the Stadium section absolutely incredible. The battle for 2nd at the end was legendary.
So I'm from Germany, and the funniest thing for me was : at lap 28 the commentator says Lewis can drive with this soft Tyres also at the Mexican gp 3 laps later the Tyres from Lewis starst to blister 😂😂😂
Lewis went too fast, he could've slowed down to protect tyres and go to the end.
But everybody nows that the RTL commentators are the stupid and have no plan of Formula 1. They just now how they can promote their car lottery tbh😂
@@Niklas_-ec8zy to be fair: Christian Danner is ok, but Wasser and Ebel are as terrible as the thousands of RTL adverts (watch football this evening, take part in our lotterie, do...)

Do you have a link on where you got that info? I am interested how he was able to do that.
Cole Trickle TY!
I think you mean Giedo Banter Garde!!
No matter what team or driver you support you cannot help but smile when Kimi came round the last few corners
So happy for kimi,even tho i wanted ham to get it,was so happy for kimi 🙌🙌 and ham got it next weekend
Love these old reactions best reactions, the best really 😘
Yeah, guilty, I thought Ferrari had stuffed it too.
Yeah when i saw Hamilton +8 behind an unpitted kimi my heart dropped for him.
But did you hear the engineers tone of voice? He sounded very confident it's pretty strange.
Jonty's Corner Thank you and everyone at The F1 Word for what you do. An amazing job well done!
They did Jonty, they did. Kimi just drove brilliantly / perfectly to make up for it. Had Lewis actually stayed out rather than pitting could easily have been a different result.
So my notification tone is the windows xp shutdown noise, for reasons, and I got a notification when he started talking about Riccardo
Disappointed in Hammy, proud of Kimi! 113 races since his last win!
Why? He played it save. I would handle the situation as he did.
Edit: I am a ferrari fan.

Every time a race ends I always think “Hmm, I wonder what Matt will say this week.” 😂
The verstopper basicly means “the one who hides” like in hide and seek
who’s watching after the race replay??
Of course Seb had to let Kimi pass him, Seb hasnt pitted yet
yes and it was not the first time (france)
Exactly cause Kimmy was faster than Seb why some people reacted bad jajajajaja so crazy
Guido was the NEEEEEEOOOOW guy

Such a great channel this is
I felt like one of the few that thought it was a big mistake by Mercedes for pitting Ham when they did
Josh Banton YES!! They had a 21s gap (PERFECT for a pit) and INSTEAD they pit in like a 15/14s gap. WTH!!!
nope everyone thought that
So glad I went there! Was my first F1 race and it won't be my last for sure!
The dinosaur kinda sounds like a V10 F1 car from far away.
Off to rewatch the race
Congratulations for new phone
I was sitting at Turn 1 ...... and loved it
If Vettel doesn't win he's lost the championship...
Time for Merc to do Last to ? Challenge IRL, mayb have a Sauber win a race.
I was in the car on my way home watching the race and my dad was paying attention on the road and asked me if the commentator had a stroke or smth because he said that Seb let Kimi through. :)

Germany 🇩🇪 Silverstone Monza much better Ferrari mark
Well sure but this race was AMAZING!!!
2012 Abu Dhabi, 2013 Australia and 2018 USA have been completely unexpected for Kimi to win and that's why these races are memorable.
Kimi for president
Best race so far indeed.

Was my first ever F1 race...and what a race it was!
Vettel Wins the championship if Vettel wins every race and Hamilton finishes 10th every race and would win by I think 2 points.
Am I the only one who laughed out loud when Vettel spun again? 😂
Vettel snooping round at red bull again does he want to go back because that's where he won his championships
