Formula 1 also entertained the fans during the summer break. In a comical throwback to the first half of the season, F1 brought Nick Willis back to reinterpret some of the popular radio talks. From Bottas’ infamous “Why the F * ck nobody listens to me” to Vettel’s “Felicidades or Feliz Navidad”; It brought the memes and the jokes back to the fans.

With references to old videos and new interesting storylines, the short video sums up the chaos of the season so far.
Super Max dominance in Austria
While the video doesn’t focus too much on the championship fight, the first clip was part of a groundbreaking circuit. Max Verstappen held his lead and tried to get as far away from Lewis as possible. Verstappen takes each lap from pole position in both races and maintains his dominance over the Silver Arrows.

The Mercedes did not show too much pace in the two races on the Styrian hills. Driven by the cheering fans and the determination of Verstappen, Red Bull stood comfortably on both boards at the end of the triple header. Max took over the Red Bull Ring, his lap and race times well ahead of Hamilton’s.
It was one of those rare moments at the Styrian GP when Mercedes knew there was nothing they could do to overtake Verstappen. The second lap in the ring was better than the last as it was not exposed to any competition during the entire race. The championship protagonist said: “To be honest, it’s incredible. The car was on rails … it was really fun to drive. I’m a bit amazed myself how it went today; I didn’t expect it to be like that. “
Sebastian Vettel’s run with Aston Martin
Although the German’s summer break began with his P2 trophy being stolen from him, Vettel had a great debut season with Aston Martin. At the race in Monaco, Vettel gave his team the first top 5 finish of the year, ahead of Gasly and Hamilton.

The next race in Baku outshone Monaco when Vettel finished second on the podium and Aston Martin brought in his first trophy. The most dramatic race of the season ended with fresh faces on the podium as Perez and Gasly accompanied Vettel.
Leclerc’s F1 disappointments
Leclerc’s season so far has been cruel for him. Every time the Ferrari driver has a chance of victory, it is taken from him.
Polesitter at his home race, Leclerc’s celebrations were soon held out in the rain as the Monegasque did not start at the Monaco GP. The problems with his transmission contributed to Leclerc’s Monaco curse.

The Ferrari driver also fought hard for points in Austria. At the Styrian GP, the driver pushed hard to finish on P7. A collision with RedBull’s Sergio Perez slowed the driver down in the second run in Austria. He finished eighth, behind Daniel Ricciardo’s McLaren.
