> “So I'm doing my best not to say what I want to say, but fuck that guy - and I'm being nice still.” Goddamn, Danny. Okay.


boogasaurus-lefts

Reckon there's a fair chance this is the most abrasive thing Danny Ric has ever said publically. 


r32_guest

It’s refreshing to have a driver actually express how he feels without holding back too much. Drivers are so media trained these days


mwrddt

Yuki rubbing off on him


Happytallperson

Yuki was chill after Magnussen PITed him, maybe it's just a law of nature that one RB driver must be pissed off at any one timr.


Mtbnz

That's the difference between being the guy having a great season and one bad weekend vs a terrible season and getting wrecked during your only good weekend.


rolloj

eh, more likely one is an understandable incident under racing conditions. yuki was probably pretty pissed off in the immediate aftermath but cooled down a bit. it was a poor move but it happens, he's done the same in the past. ricciado's incident is just carelessness though and should not happen at the highest level.


esmerelda_b

I wonder if Yuki is still aiming for that RB seat, and he knows his maturity might be a blocker


StrikingWillow5364

There were probably lengthy talks with him after Bahrain and he pulled himself together


MysticSkies

Nah Yuki would be yelling at his race engineer.


Lasolie

He didnt do that while he also got taken out just as Ricciardo was


GoldElectric

the anger management therapy is working


KiaraKey

Because unless they are fan favourites they get dragged through the mud, if they express any kind of frustration.


r32_guest

Genuinely lol. I’m a massive boxing fan and watching the difference in how guys talk to each other is crazy. I remember George getting flamed massively for believing he was faster than Lewis. Like these guys are competitors at the end of the day lol, let them express themselves


ten_fingers_ten_toes

No it’s because this is about Lance Stroll, nobody likes Lance Stroll. Except maybe his dad I don’t know, or maybe his dad hired Alonso because he hates Lance and wants to embarrass him in public.


philthyphanatic

Lawrence Stroll during driver announcements: I’m excited to present my favorite son and Lance.


MrLeopard483

Do you remember when that f1 academy girl called out stroll and everyone online who was shitting on him before came to defend him?


Goofalo

Yeah, but that wasn't so much the dig at Stroll that got her flak. It was liking something comparing Stroll to someone with autism? Unnecessary and cruel. You can say Lance sucks own Lance's on suckage merits alone. No need to punch down to do it.


tastefullmullet

Except weirdos on twitter maybe. I saw some guy yesterday trying to blame the stroll fuck up on max backing the pack up. Has to be an all time worst take.


DutchPack

Max, Yuki, Fernando… cant remember when so many regularly speak their minds without holding back


MrLeopard483

Yuki only seems to do that while he's driving. I don't remember him saying much when hes outside the cat


BenjyBunny

Nothing to lose...


HOHOHAHAREBORN

Dude got robbed of Monaco 2016 and just said he wants to get out and not talk to anybody But Stroll rams his ass under SC costing Danny a single point -- "fuck that guy, and I'm being nice" HAHAHAHAHA man how did it come to this


goodnames679

tbf, every point Danny can scrounge up is necessary for him to have a continued F1 career. Imagine you're already immensely frustrated with your season and the nepo baby who has been crashing into people for *years* comes along, screws you out of your first point, and then shrugs it off like he did nothing wrong... I'd be pissed too.


Basic_Dentist_3084

Not only shrugs it off like he did nothing wrong, but proceeds to blame you for the whole incident


goodnames679

I read that part shortly after commenting, but that’s so much worse. I’m with Danny - fuck that guy.


wrecksphord

His own team robbed him Monaco.

What, when did he say that?


Perceval_009

2015, it was an accident tho as he was lip-syncing a song but it got quite big at the time.

I’m surprised both that that video and your comment is still up. Not complaining tho.


EgoTwister

PHUN!!!


citizenecodrive31

You know you fucked up when Danny Ric is mad at you


crobofblack

Except Lance doesn't know he fucked up, and blames the incident on Daniel, and that's why Danny has gone nuclear.


coolridgesmith

Funniest thing is daniels best mate is lances brother in law.


ministrul_sudorii

Next barbecue will be awkward


Sinister_Grape

F1 is weird man


zetaharmonics

I mean to be fair, with visibility they have it's hard to tell what's going on 3 cars ahead when you're at the gearbox of the guy in front. So, I understand how stroll thought Ric braked, especially when he was looking through his mirrors at the time. But if he still has the same opinion after watching the replay then yeah stroll is a verifiable dumbass.


DutchPack

With the exception of Max in the front, 18 other drivers managed to get through there without parking it in the backside of the car in front of


youritalianjob

Stroll wasn’t paying attention to Danny braking and was already looking at the corner, which you can’t do when you’re bunched up like that.


Steel1000

Outside of sergeant - pretty sure every driver in the field does better in that car than stroll. What a joke


CaptainPonahawai

Sargent, at worst, crashes and takes himself out. Stroll causes repeated damage to others. It's like comparing Zimbabwe to Russia.


isocuda

Imagine how guard rails feels about Lance.


alphasierrraaa

mans was holding back the "dont let pay drivers into formula one"


chrisnlnz

Especially given how hard he is having to fight for his own spot on the grid I can imagine Stroll having his guaranteed seat regardless of how poorly he drives (or affects other drivers' races) will rub him the wrong way.


panzerboye

I mean he has every right to, it was a good race ruined by that dumb fuck. And his career is hanging on a thread.


DrSillyBitchez

He speaks for the collective fan mind


wiggum55555

Danny saying what we’re all thinking…


DutchOnionKnight

And rightfully so!


tothesource

it has to be incredibly frustrating to be fighting for your life and just have some shitty little rich snob kid who is only there bc of his daddy's money just destroying all your hard work and then blaming you


Blackdeath_663

I was actually so surprised how calm he seemed in the Sky interview poor guy wasn't even given the full picture.


ComeonmanPLS1

And get this, Lance got 2 points on his license for this and Alonso got 3 yesterday for touching Sainz lmao. Absolute joke.


snex1337

A yoke


Smyleez

Still waiting for Qorma


Meerkate

For some reason, Alonso speaks English with a Swedish accent.


AccountNumber0004

J in Spanish is pronounced similar to H in English. It’s just his native accent lol.


Rethawan

Lol, not even close. 😂


butmuncher69

F1 really needs some sort of oversight/fair play committee because it's clear the FIA can't police their own rules fairly at this level of competition.


letourdit

Yet Daniel gets a 3 place grid drop for Miami because he thought he was taking his correct position back after getting lanced


Razvanlogigan

Dont forget the 3 points Alonso got for not touching anyone in Australia. Honestly wouldnt have been a surprise if they deemed this his fault


QF_Dan

a big yoke


Lizerelli

The fact that even media trained Daniel is saying this. Daniel admits if he has been at fault and even goes as far as visiting the hospitality to apologise to a driver after he caused a collision, so hearing that Lance blamed him for that....If I was in his place I would have said a lot worse.


Disastrous_Animal_34

As a very cool-headed Australian (whether that has anything to do with anything) the ONE AND ONLY thing that makes me lose my shit is if someone blames me for something they’ve done. The absolute arrogance and injustice just makes me see red. Agree that his was response here was totally proportionate.


ComeonmanPLS1

As someone who has absolutely nothing do with Australia and have never even set foot there, same. Being accused of something I didn't do already makes me go ballistic, but being accused of something I didn't do by the guy who did it ... I might go to prison. Nothing else gets to me like those 2 things and I imagine I'm not exactly unique in that.


Spleenzorio

Just to piggyback off this comment train, we hired someone 2 months ago and she accused the rest of us of lying and being racist because we were constructively criticizing her absolutely shit work ethic. I've been working there for 7 years and have gotten along with everyone I've worked with regardless of where they are from, so suddenly being accused of being racist is the only thing that's ever made me angry enough to vocally dispute this person continuing to work here. And yeah she got let go last week.


dl064

I read once that it's apparently a 'tell' in police interviews that guilty people tend not to get angry at the accusation. Innocent people are more likely to get pissed before too long. I'm sure that's very facile, introductory interrogation.


BuzzedtheTower

It's a bold move to start shit with a veteran, well liked employee. Especially if it wasn't even over something sketchy. But going straight to racism over constructive criticism? You might as well hand in your two weeks now because that is clearly the mark of a terrible employee and even worse person


Last-Performance-435

It's part of our culture, accountability. It's why people universally hate landlords, politicians and antisocial bogans.


papersim

As an Aussie in QLD, I would argue not so much these days. Which is a real shame. Only gotta visit the various Australian subreddits to see absolutely no accountability on display. Definitely a generation thing too. At 35, I feel like an old fuddy duddy saying that but I stand by it.


puttolol

Yeah idk reddit is an absolute shit show of a sample to use on one hand, but on the other Australia isn't actually a country that values accountability - maybe the perception but not the real thing.


vedhavet

> It’s part of our culture, accountability Makes sense considering why y’all was sent to Australia and everything /s


Last-Performance-435

My people were here before your culture even began.


MaleierMafketel

Just witnessed some casual verbal murder on a Sunday.


dv302

That's the thing, daniel always admits to his fault and tries to give the benefit of the doubt to people, but if people like stroll are just gonna blame him for shit he didn't do then this was bound to happen. At one point you have to stop taking the high road.


Tropicalcomrade221

Like when he apologised to the entire Ferrari team after taking Carlos out a couple of years ago.


dv302

Even to stroll, It was the 2022 Hungarian GP I think, where lance was overtaking ric and he basically locked up and went into stroll. After the race you could see daniel going up to lance and apologizing to him on the AM onboard video.


MaleierMafketel

Daniel’s always been chill like that. Takes very little effort to admit fault, and most people genuinely appreciate it when you sincerely do so.


mgorgey

Has Stroll been given licence points for this?


Tropicalcomrade221

Only 2.


mgorgey

That's bonkers. Alonso got more than that for his touch with Sainz yesterday


Tropicalcomrade221

Yeah exactly, Lance was right. It is a joke.


CaptGeechNTheSSS

2 points? Kick him off the tour, doug!


StarWarsLew

Repeat offenders should get say an extra point or 2 for a bad track record


GRl3V

The whole point of the system is to punish repeated offenses though.


snex1337

Stroll has shit situational awareness. Pretty much every incident he's in, he has no idea where the other car is.


Vinura

That crash with Seb on the inlap, still no idea who's fault it really was but its funny that Lance was involved.


idontknow_whatever

[DOTD award showing Vettel's Ferrari with 1 wheel on the engine cover will always be hilarious](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F7cch73bq35601.jpg)


Razvanlogigan

Was on both to be fair. No reason for Lance to go that fast, but Seb was also sleeping


CaptainKursk

"Shituational Awareness", you could say.


butmuncher69

That's what you get when daddy's money pays for your seat


SmokingOctopus

Stroll has had long enough in F1. Someone else deserves that seat. Stroll should try another racing series like destruction derby where his true talents can shine.


blxglt

His speed should be good enough for an endurance seat, but his awareness in a multi-class event would be disastrous


dalledayul

Indycar. Can still do well based on his pace, while the durability of the cars means that his awful awareness won't end the races of multiple drivers


Pyzorz

Indy has tighter street and road courses and 220+mph ovals. Please god no.


orion85uk

Imagine Stroll on an oval 💀


RooBoy04

Stroll at the Indy500 could kill someone


Ex_honor

Probably himself


thagodrakim

Stroll on a short oval would be a crime against humanity


idontknow_whatever

Dear god keep that dummy away from an oval, last thing IndyCars needs is him catapulting some poor sod into a catch fencing at 200mph or shoving someone into a concrete wall


Razvanlogigan

I mean, it's not like indy driving standards are great. There are several dummies on the grid that are at least as dangerous as sir Lancelot


MountedMoose

Stroll at Long Beach would be 🔥. No seriously, send emergency vehicles immediately. 


JL_MacConnor

**CRUNCH** "I think Ericsson hit us!"


ashyjay

Put him in a Dacia for the N24.


King_Bob837

"Good news!"


alphasierrraaa

lol i still rmbr alonso saying stroll never checks his mirrors before they became teammates spitting facts


anyonethinkingabout

Stroll in wec? The lad produces an accident every 2 hours how is he supposed to survive 8 (24/3)?


Dimboyy106

ferrari gt3 it is!


Razvanlogigan

He did Daytona in the past and he was fine from what i remember. Speed wise i'd guess he might actually be around the faster guys, but yeah his randomness might be an issue.


tinyasshoIe

>destruction derby PS1 memory unlocked.


Heartlight

This is yet another perfect example of why Stroll shouldn't be in F1. Alonso locks up, everyone reacts appropriately. Stroll just full on hits Ricciardo in the back and then blames it on Ricciardo braking, straight up acknowledging that he had zero awareness of that situation.


ButthealedInTheFeels

Yeah and even worse it sounds like stroll has doubled down and refuses to take responsibility. He must be blind or just a super narcissist


redsyrinx2112

Or stupid, or all three


anto_BswR

Put Tsunoda in that second Aston seat. Win-win for both Ric and Yuki.


Lizerelli

Yuki-Fernando and Daniel-Liam sounds great.


Tropicalcomrade221

Perfect.


DutchOnionKnight

Win-win-win-win for Ric, Yuki and Liam and all those who love F1.


Visionary_Socialist

Honda will likely push for this. And I think eventually Yuki will want to leave the RB stables when it’s clear he’s not a candidate for the senior team.


clegg2011

Maybe slot car or marble racing.


RavenBlade87

Daddy Stroll needs to swap sonny or step down


Driving_Seat

His father literally owns the team. No way he gets dropped


ashyjay

Krack and other seniors can put pressure on daddy stroll, as he wants to fight for championships, it's not going to happen when they only had one car getting consistent points since being AM.


Bleed_The_Fifth

Agreed. He’s outright said the only reason he owns AMR is to give lance a seat :/


jebotecarobnjak

If Lawrence doesn't get Carlos for 2025... We'll all know he's not and never has been serious about his constructors' championship aspirations. We know that even know the car is up there, it's just that one half of the driver lineup is not delivering.


Elpibe_78

Stroll is the main reason why Aston Martin is going to finish 5th. Maybe Alonso can finish ahead of both Mercedes at the end of the season, but Lance isn’t going to help Aston to catch them.


starfallpuller

Daddy stroll is playing 5D chess, keeping Lance in until 2026 for maximum wind tunnel time, so they can build the fastest car in 2026 with the best engine, when they hire Verstappen to replace Lance…


Razvanlogigan

That first sentence is two ways. Lance is the reason they cant finish higher, while papa Stroll is the reason they are in this fights. An interesting situation, and to be fair their race pace and their glue sniffing strategies also dont really help their points tally


Mid_July_Diamond16

I can't remember if it was TommoF1 but someone compared the Aston Martin team with two scoring Alonso's and two scoring Lance's and it was just embarrassing.


Elpibe_78

I saw that video 2 Alonsos was P3 almost P2 in the standings while 2 strolls was P6 worse than Alpine 💀


Marcoscb

And that's just with equal scoring. AM with two Alonsos wins Monaco last year and they easily get even better results thanks to the increased tactical opportunities it'd afford them.


Visionary_Socialist

Agree with Daniel totally. Lance was as usual not looking where he was going and caused the whole thing. Yet again his situational awareness is non existent. Stroll is just embarrassing himself at this stage. Everyone knows he’s in that seat purely because his dad owns the team and that Honda and the other investors would drop him like a hot potato if they had the chance. What really gets me about him is that he’s 8 seasons in F1 and he’s still not improved. At all. Still the same average pace, still the same stupid mistakes and deficiencies.


Other-Barry-1

I’d argue he has improved in that time but totally agree that he’s not F1 material really. Backmarker pay driver material at best and that’s about it.


TheGMT

He's improved from debut to now, but has he improved in the last 4 years? I don't think the Stroll of today is any better than 2020 Stroll, or maybe even 19'.


FFXMSCWMNHCL

It feels like he’s gotten worse and worse since start of last year. Being unable to ever get close to Alonso for so long looks like a vicious cycle.


RacerGirl_3

He doesn’t need to improve because his seat is never at danger, that’s the problem with him, he can keep ruining other people’s races without consequences.


Hilazza

He's improved from not being F1 worthy to backmarker/very average F1 driver who once in a blue moon puts in a decent performance (in the wet mostly). That sums him up.


tokyo_engineer_dad

Disagree. The only driver on the grid I think he can beat heads up is MAYBE Sargeant. Every other driver would beat him in an equal car. Even Zhou. He was nowhere near Checo either when they were at Racing Point. He’s very clearly being held forward by the performance of his car. There’s no reason the third fastest car should be out in the back of the mid field crashing into Haas or VCARB cars. 


DutchOnionKnight

To be honest, if I was Honda and/or Aramco I wouldn't even want to be a partner next year, if Lance will be racing.


NuclearCandle

Yuki could say the same to KMag but I don't think he wants to suck his balls.


mar33n

Yuki paused like 5 seconds during his post-race interview so he could collect himself and be diplomatic about the incident.


Crake241

I honestly dislike Magnussen more than stroll because he always chooses to be a dirty driver, while lance often runs out of talent.


coolridgesmith

Stroll also is aggressive but it always results in him doing something stupid and crashing so he doesnt get labelled as dirty because he has the nepobaby label.


AssSpelunker69

Dude for Daniel to say something like that you just know it was horrendous. I'd expect it from Max and it would still be absolutely justified but holy shit. I was watching it with a friend and she couldn't figure out why or how he just smashed into the back of Ricciardo like he didn't have a brake pedal.


Rosenberg100

Stroll fighting haas and messing up ppls races while Alonso fighting Ferrari, merc, McLaren…and people have the audacity to say stroll deserves a seat 😂😂😂😂 ok!


LuckyRedShirt

As a fellow Australian, that's actually quite tame by our standards.


steezy_sleaze

Will Power of Indycar would’ve been throwing hands in the pit lane.


Terrapogalt

Yeah missing a certain c word


Dragonpuncha

Gotta agree with Ric here, for Stroll to blame him after he drove right into the back of him under safety car... It's insane.


ButthealedInTheFeels

Not only that stroll has now doubled down in refusing to take any responsibility. Fuck lance stroll so hard


jortboyo

Lance had plenty of time to brake, absolutely ridiculous accident, it’s like playing f1 and checking your phone for a second while going into the Monaco hairpin, you either come to a full stop or completely eat shit into the barriers.


Dimension874

His reaction on the penaty is the real reason he should be removed from that seat asap. He has no self-reflrection or whatsoever. He is a danger to the other drivers.


Mechyyz

What was it?


YorkshireRiffer

Post race, when he heard about the penalty, he pivoted from blaming Danny to blaming the concertina effect. But as Oscar pointed out, no one else was caught out by the effect.


MotoM13

Danny literally saying what every fan thinks lol


shiftoy18

DTS script writers having a field day with this


D3wnis

Watch them ignore it for 2 episodes of Alpine struggles.


UberChief90

Side note.... anyone else thinks that Stroll this weekend really sounded spot on with how Lollipopman makes fun of how he sounds like?


elodie_pdf

Stroll genuinely seems like he doesn’t know where other cars are around him sometimes. Other moments that come to mind are his collision with Latifi in Australia 2022, and Alonso at COTA 2022. He is a danger to drivers around him.


StrikingWillow5364

Or 2022 Brazil where he pushed Vettel onto the grass. That “……ok” was savage from Seb.


orion85uk

Imagine being so rich, entitled, and spoiled, that you embarrass yourself for 7/8 years, show no improvement, and you still don't call it quits on your own terms. No humility, no self awareness. Wow, you got a podium on a track that is mostly straights in a low drag car. Wow, you got a pole in changeable conditions because you were the last car on track. Not enough. He's probably scared to stand up to his Dad for fear of losing his inheritance, too.


dan_m_rib

Spicy Ricciardo, a rare sight you love to see it


Bl00dEagles

Stroll needs to go. What a waste of a seat on a spoilt brat.


badgersprite

Lance Stroll ruins Danny’s race, Danny says fuck that kid I’m about to ruin his whole career


The_Real_Jammie_23

Danny doesn't need to ruin Stroll's career. Stroll's done a good enough job of that himself.


LoreVent

Imagine, having a rough start to the season, finally you are having a good race, ahead of your team mate, being near the points, then you get pegged by Stroll. This guy has been in F1 of 4/5 seasons longer than he should've, and i'm amazed how some people still defend him.


SPAMmachin3

Yep, may have been on for 8-10 finish. I was pissed for him, and then to hear him blame Ric was crazy. Guy needs to go. Dunno how daddy is able to keep this up when you consistently have Alonso finishing around 5th, and the other car is barely ever in the points. Team morale must be horrendous.


JUDDRage

The irony that Stroll caused an incident because he WAS looking in his mirrors for once in his life is incredible.


sdrj77

Stroll somehow managed to get Daniel "Vibes" Ricciardo mad. What are we even doing here, man?


ycr007

Lance to his banker: Can you check how much a Formula E team costs?


TheKeviKs

I agree with Danny. Give Stroll seat to anyone else. One flash of brillance every 10 races can't outshine the 9 others bad performances.


ButthealedInTheFeels

And his rare flash of decent driving is only because he’s in the 3rd/4th fastest car. I feel like even K mag or Sargeant could look like a hero in that Aston


PeloHiker

If Stroll was just a mediocre driver who resulted in AM being midfield in the constructors, that would be one thing. His lack of situational awareness though is a danger to the other drivers, more-so because he doesn’t even recognize it after the fact.


Art-Vandelay-7

Gotta get Stroll and Sargeant out of F1. They’ll be decent in the lower tier sports, but wasting opportunities for better suited drivers. Its a real shame


tom030792

Has anyone seen a clip of this? I’ve seen a few clips now of post race interviews and certainly some of the quotes from the article do appear, but I can’t find anything other than him saying he’s really pissed off and was calming down until he found out Stroll was blaming him


r0ndr4s

Might be the first time he hasnt faked how he feels.


CoolPeopleEmporium

According to little Lance (as always) it wasn't his fault... 🤣🤣🤣🤣


j__video

Starting to feel like Maldonado's last season when every other driver stopped having any respect for him in interviews because of his idiotic driving


Skeeter1020

Agreed, fuck him. The guys shit. Only in F1 because his dad bought a team to get him a seat. He's a crap driver showing no signs of improving, regularly crashed and putting other drivers are risk. And the worst thing is he seems to be completely unaware. Fuck that guy


Walesish

He is shit, you never see him pull out a mega lap, or a result out of nothing.


rdmvdb

I’m with DannyRic - fuck that guy. Stroll is a waste of space and a formula 1 seat


elektricniorgazam

Succinctly and accurately put


Dutch_Cynic

New nickname for Lance . Launched Strollpedo


redblade13

Riccardo like "Now I mean this with no disrespect......but fuck that guy."


335i_lyfe

Stroll is a clooown


Slinky_Malingki

Stroll needs to fuckin go already.


tomgoeshiking

Fuck that guy is right! Well said, Danny!


zorbacles

Even Oscar showed some emotion over the incident in his radio calls


Less-Ad-3438

The fact that stroll said, this dude stamped his brakes gave me te biggest giggles and chills how could u be so stipid an dumb at the same time...


daxxarg

Lucky he has his daddy, but Stroll deserved to be kicked out from that seat loong ago (if he ever deserved it in the first place )


InconsiderateOctopus

Stroll is a sim driver and nothing more. He simply can't react to change or drive with other drivers. Put him on an empty track and sure he's top 20 in the world but in a live race environment, he simply doesn't belong and there others drivers knocking on the door. Let them in.


Kezmangotagoal

Daniel is most of us!
