Epidemic Sound

The fact that there is a Internet's Best Reactions video for something NOT a race shows how nuts this summer vacation already is

[negjason]

2021 silly season:
“Russell is going to Mercedes”
“Yeah we know”
“Bottas is going the Alfa”
“Yeah we know”

2022 silly season:
“Piastri is going to Alpine”
Piastri-“the fuck I am”

Saying Alonso's Alpine departure was "out of the blue" was the funniest thing anyone can say unintentionally

[theuniversaldisneyian]

Everybody: “How could Alpine have gotten it so wrong?”

(Scuderia Ferrari HQ after summer break)
Binotto: “Welcome back, everyone, I hope you all had a good rest, and a special welcome back to our strategists who volunteered as Alpine’s press release team over the break. They did a magnificent job, couldn’t have been better.”

[Good_Horsey]

7:14 probably the most brilliant tweet of them all, inverting the colors to have Piastri wearing papaya colors. 🤣

Further on the Taunton Town FC post, someone in the replies asked if they got Oscar’s permission and they just simply replied “Did alpine?” And the shade has me dying!!

Albon’s tweet about him staying is gold😂😂

[DominicGuitarist]

Loved when Piastri said last year "I won the F3 championship and the F2 championship, so I guess next year I'll be the champ of sitting on the couch." ... who knew he'd be the king of social media! 🏆

[RSG_TheMonster]

If they filmed this a bit later, they could have gotten Albon's tweet in this video.

[GRLDT]

Albon's tweet and Piastri's reply is the best reaction to this drama 😂

[Anthony_e_photography]

There was so much to unfold they made a best reactions 😂💀

What makes this all even crazier is that it's just happened in Indycar as well a month ago. For those that don't know 2021 Indycar Champion Alex Palou was announced to be staying with his current team by CGR (his current team) before he said it wasn't true and that they had no permission to make that announcement or use the quotes they made up from "Palou". Moments later McLaren announce that Palou will be racing for them next year and Palou backed this up. Currently CGR are trying to sue their current driver Palou as the season continues...

Bottas went bowling with the drivers in Hungary 21, and Alonso went bowling with the driver market in Hungary 22

My theory is that Webber is Piastri’s manager and Webber and Alonso are great friends. So Webber told Alonso to wait to announce his change right before Oscars contract expires so he won’t have to race for Alpine and Webber can get Piastri a seat at McLaren when Danny Ric moves to Alpine.

The reason Alonso wants to do this is because Alpine could become a championship winning team but they don’t want to spend the money. Whereas Aston Martin with daddy stroll forking out billions into their F1 project so he thinks Aston could become good in the future.

Matty looked thrilled to finally do an IBR that doesn’t involve him crying about a Ferrari failure of some sort.

[davidferrick]

I love how Alex Albon handled his renewal contract announcement today.

[matthiasscheidegger]

When its Summerbreak and sillyseason gets so silly that internets best reactions is back… LOVE IT
PERIOD

[georgebidmead]

1:53 I know where this image is from. It was taken from the the future at the final race of 2022. Matt has just watched Ferrari mess up their strategy again this season and this is what he looks like after another nine races of being a Ferrari fan.

[AgentLTK]

7:13 I love how Matt doesn't even notice the fact that the colours are reversed and so it looks like the Mclaren racing suit

[DarthJF]

F1 teams last year when fans were begging for someone to sign up Piastri: "No"
F1 teams this year: "I have Piastri!" "No I have Piastri!"
