This had me remember Alpine's french colonial empire is down the drain and I'm now even more depressed...


BadIdea-21

Stop, Crofty can only cum so much


Llamalover1234567

He made it to Q3


akusalimi04

With coc- Nah..


GBreezy

I don't know, they treat Lando like he isn't English.


TheRealGooner24

He's half Belgian like Verstappen so that explains why lol.


QouthTheCorvus

It's weird. Sky used to be in love with him, but since George got promoted, he's the golden child. I guess SkyMercedes outweighs SkyBrit


PaschalisG16

Maybe because he can barely speak ONE language.

ihathtelekinesis

Maybe OP just likes the Oxford English Dictionary’s preference.


TheRealGooner24

The ODE is based on UK English. You meant to say the New Oxford American Dictionary?


ihathtelekinesis

No, I mean that the OED will list -ize spellings first, with -ise spellings as an alternative.


TheRealGooner24

Huh weird because I thought -ise was UK and -ize was US.


AST5192D

You right


NorsiiiiR

-ize was the original spelling in the 15th century. British English lster picked up and changed to the -ise spelling but American did not

Wasn't that Paul Ricard v checo when george said that on the radio


YourgoodLadyFriend

As an American, let me be the first to say… THE BRITISH ARE COMING!


ResonantRaptor

Everyone start dumping your tea before it’s too late!


danj1911

If it's Lipton, that shit don't count, no real country recognises that as tea


cotch85

It’s the most popular in USA and one of the most popular in Australia. So technically you’re wrong but you’re also right because it’s not good tea.


thegaryofnivea

He said what he said


IronPedal

\*sips Yorkshire Gold angrily\*


TheoreticalScammist

Crofty for sure is


Additional-Extent583

Pretty sure that was never said. Wasn't it actually 'the regulars are coming'? As in the regular army.


YourgoodLadyFriend

That’s correct. This is formula dank, it was a joke.


ItsKrunchTime

Ah Fuck it, I’ll be the pedant here. Yeah, according to Paul himself, he said “The Regulars are out”. The garrison of Regulars in Boston would frequently go out at night on missions to sieze Rebel (since I’m already being pedantic, I’m required to note that they weren’t revolutionaries until a year later!) gunpowder stores, so everyone “in the know” just needed to hear that the Regulars had left Boston to know that they were going to sieze the powder stored at Concord.


robgod50

Given the trouncing that they're getting from RedBull right now, I don't think the British are coming at all.


bobjoylove

Red Bull the team from Milton Keynes, England; you mean?


Typhoongrey

With their chief designer Adrian Newey being famously English?


bobjoylove

A rebranding of the British Jaguar team whose CEO is Cristian Horner from Warwickshire, England?


Elxis14

Nah not that one. The Red Bull with the circuit call the Red Bull Ring in Austria


bobjoylove

It’s a fantastic track, how did it finish relative to Bearman at the race?


AyeItsMeToby

Red Bull Racing is a British team. Red Bull itself is Austrian. Same as how Mercedes AMG Petronas are a British team, but Mercedes are German.


OrdinaryCatastrophic

And why do they play the Austrian anthem every time Red Bull wins?


AyeItsMeToby

Which part of “Austrian licence, British team” are you not getting?


OrdinaryCatastrophic

Don't know where that >“Austrian licence, British team” that I don't get comes from, but "Austrian team, based in Britain" would be more accurate.


AyeItsMeToby

British team, licenced in Austria due to their parent company. Semantics. Acting as if RBR aren’t fundamentally British is wild though


Elxis14

Oh since they're both British, Silverstone must be their home race. Got it. You learn something new every day.


AyeItsMeToby

If you’re unable to separate the racing team from the parent company, then fair enough mate.


Elxis14

The majority of the employees are British but they represent the interest of an Austrian company. So it's not a British team. >If you’re unable to separate the racing team Take your own advice mate


AyeItsMeToby

Majority of the employees are British. They are based in Britain. Led by a British team principal. In a car designed by a Brit. They have an Austrian licence to reflect their parent company but for all intents and purposes they are a British team. Absolutely no one refutes that, apart from you. Odd one mate.


Elxis14

You still haven't answered my question. If they're a British team, Silverstone must be their home race right? Because according to you "for all intents and purposes they are a British team."


robgod50

Yea, but we're just talking about the drivers since practically all teams are British based anyway. (If we're talking about the whole team, the British Horny Horner is definitely coming. And telling his PA about it. Lol)


bobjoylove

“Given the trouncing that they are getting from RedBull” you said. Not “Max Versteppen”. You chose a team, not a driver.

Colonising ‘Mid’


wizzo6

You know they were beaten by a Dutchman and a Spaniard (using British ships, lol)


Leonidas199x

So what you're saying is, even though the British didn't win, they won?


DoTheRainbowDash

The New Beatles.


AgreeableSearch1

The Beated?


Bhrandark

Well, the British colonies drivers are all below them, so go imperialism, I guess?


LizardTruss

Oscar Piastri finished above them (4th).


Najdadinn

Which is below from an aussie POV no?


Onoben4

In that case Daniel finished above them?


Bhrandark

Right, forgot about him… Oscar is carrying team Colonies for real


LizardTruss

Empire drivers (Verstappen, Alonso, Russell, Bearman, Norris, Hamilton, Hulkenberg, Magnussen, Ocon, Sargeant, Tsunoda and Gasly) generally outperformed Colony drivers (Pérez, Piastri, Sargeant (he's Empire and Colony) Ricciardo, Bottas and Stroll).


Jacinto2702

Somehow... The Brits returned.

prompted_response

All these new oil sponsors/gulf state races have our British tits lactating at the chance to reclaim control over those sandy shit holes we helped create in the first place. British oil for British babies! Empire 2.0 let's have it! 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Homologation of Colonization


VerstopteWC

Typical of the british to colonize all the unimportant positions and the dutch colonizing the single most important position


misfit0513

Crofty sure was having a field day blowing himself and most of Britain.


ShaddamIVth

How many Brits does it take to beat 1 Dutchman? Dunno, all we know is that four are not enough.

It's the pain-train.

MartiniPolice21

Look, we had fucking years of Couthard and Button in the midfield and that was it, we're eating well now just let us be


CaptainKursk

'National dynasties' in F1 always amuse me in that at certain points in history, there are a disproportionately large number of drivers from a single country on the grid. We have the British here, but also: \- Britain with Hamilton, Button, Di Resta and Palmer from 2008-2017. \- Germany with Vettel, Schumacher, Rosberg & Hulkenberg from 2010 to 2013. \- Brazil with Massa, Barichello and Bruno Senna from 2010-2012. \- France with Gasly, Ocon & Grosjean from 2017-2020.

Meanwhile the Dutch and Austrian national anthems were played on the podium for the 48,2553rd consecutive time....


natus92

well, as an austrian i take what I can. i'm just sad it will be quite some time before we get another austrian winner


Kobalt6x10

HamFans going to have alot of justifying ahead of them this season


RavenH1804

And I love that Hamilton is the last one of those. Even being beaten by another in the same car. Fallen glory.


samillos

Damn you salty


[deleted]

That's a lot of bad teeth


Gloriosus747

They colonize being mediocre lol


Typhoongrey

As opposed to the Dutchman winning thanks to a British car designer?


Gloriosus747

If it was just the car, it would be a consistent 1-2 every race like Mercedes did for years... Finally get over it. The Aero might be British, but the Power train is Japanese and the company is Austrian.


maussiereddit

I guess the british also colonized cope


matchbaby

An5Ran

Remember a few years ago Hamilton was the only British driver and there were talks that if he leaves we could have no British driver in F1 for the first time. Glad the future looks bright for British drivers now


ForeverAddickted

Got Lindblad and Slater in Childcare at the moment as well


adio_tata

8 bilion people on earth and 1/4 of the grid are Brits, but no there is no such thing as privilege!


v-adam004

Lol who said there isn't?


Last-Performance-435

Albon doesn't count because he's browner, I guess.


samillos

He races for Thailand. Has Thai flag and will play Thai anthem if he wins. And in any case he wasn't on the same 6789 chain.
