i can't believe checo didn't pass out, let alone get 3rd. unbelievable perseverance

We often joke around especially when it comes to Kimi and his water supply issues but you can clearly see Checko was exhausted, he said he was physically done after 20 laps. I was disappointed that he didn't stay with Max and Lewis but man, I think he deserves tons of credit for finishing 3rd all things considered. Also it sounded down right scary when he said he was losing feeling in his hands and feet and his vision was going bloory, he could have passed out. Glad to see him finish the race safely, podium is an icing on the cake.

Well done Checko, and Max ofcourse. I think I'll pop a BUBLY just for Checko 😁

Kimi Still Calling Alpine Renault haha. He's all ice

I’m just happy Checo made it to end and not pass out in the car. Props to him for going 36 laps completely dehydrated.

I love how Kimi doesn’t seem to notice when a teams name changes.

Checo finally feels what Kimi has to experience almost every weekend…

*no drincc*

I think i'd pass out after 1 lap without a drink!

Alonso's little war with Kimi and Gio was the most fun to watch in my opinion.

[Bottymonster]

Checo is a hero and solid loyal team mate

[krishpykreame]

Everyone: talking about the race
Riccardo: still talking about Austin

[fredericocardoso]

Everyone: " It was really exhausting and though out there."
Ricciardo: " I was just enjoying"

People are sleeping on Seb’s performance today.
He made some brilliant overtakes.

Great race by Yuki, finally getting some consistency to show his true talent

[tiadaid]

The fact that Checo still managed a podium without the drincc is really something...

[adamwuilmart]

Haven't been that impressed by Yuki's performance in the beginning of the season, but his defensive driving has been really impressive in the last couple of races

[LuisRdzG]

We just learnt how important is the water system for the drivers, can't believe Checo even made it to the end with the track at 50ºC. Driving precisely at high speeds that Red Bull F1 for 1 and a half hours and managing to get the podium was a titanic effort.

And that explains why Checo wasn't up there with the top 2 guys, at the beginning he was right there and then he started to fade, we know why now...

Checo 'I had no drink'
Kimi *'First time?'*

[KevinTan_]

What an incredible season. Massive props to Redbull and Mercedes for providing this close of a fight

[KrispiOnBrissie]

Daniel dancing behind Lewis is so fun and congratulations for max anyway

[owencrum]

Riccardo with that beard and mustache. Legendary 👌👌👌
