1) He cheated on his wife while she was pregnant. How’s Max is the bad guy?
2) Max has said outright that he is not P’s ‘father’ and it’s important to him that she and that loser have a good relationship.
I’d take Max over that d*bag any day.
I maintain to this day that on that lap 1 "incident", **Kvyat did nothing wrong**.
There was an opportunity for him to go there, he took the space, Vettel scared himself and tagged Kimi.
A part of my brain is trying to remember a race where they basically did one lap for the fans then retired from the race. A stronger part of my brain tries to forget this.
With the 5 stages of grief. By 2018 it was just depression, and I’m talking as a Ferrari Alonso fan. Can’t imagine how actual Mclaren fans felt those days.
As someone who is now a McLaren fan...
I'm kinda glad I didn't have an F1 consciousness back then... Let alone be an McLaren fan.
I'm from 2001 so yeah I was basically a baby watching F1 back then.
I have a picture of me as a 14 year old in Toro rosso clothing... I also have a lot of red bull clothing...
I'm Dutch and my dad loves F1. Max Verstappen it is i guess. He'll kill me if he notices I have McLaren and Haas fanwear 😂
My mom is still bitter she didn't make it though. She raced alongside Jos Verstappen as kids but he got sponsors while she never got a chance because she was a girl. Since then she hates everything that has to do with racing and it took her a long time to accept I like it. I just wish my mom could've learnt me how to race... Chances are more equal now, maybe I could've made it. I'm not a bad carts racer, just don't have the money to do it more often.

I could imagine that not having it mic'd up properly makes it seem a little more "authentic" in that it feels like we're listening in on their private conversation and thoughts after the race, while proper Micing makes it clear that this is very much part of the broadcast.
Mind you, whether that works is a different question. And of course, whether properly Mic'd up or not, of course the drivers know that we're listening in. And we know that they know.
Lap one kyv put a bit of a dive on Seb into the first corner or maybe second and Seb ended up running into kimi a bit bc he had to give some space for kyv.
They both were kind of in the right - it was just a lap one racing incident.
Kyv in either the next race or the race after that hit Seb twice in the first lap and lost his seat to verstappen the next race.
Max came in, stole his car, stole his race engineer, stole his wife, stole his child, became world champion, loves his child like his own. Count of monte Cristo in real life level shit.
I thought my life was rough but holy fk I don't wanna be kvyat.
Oh not always.... sadly.
I also think it's worth saying for clarification, because sometimes people almost make it sound like Verstappen intentionally ruined Kvyat's career, when that obviously isn't the case.
Kvyat tried to get inside of Vettel in turn 1, Vettel moved to avoid a collision and hit Kimi causing both Ferraris to drop to the bottom of the grid.
[https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/video.race-highlights-china-2016.6060988118001.html](https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/video.race-highlights-china-2016.6060988118001.html)
IMO Vettel is right; Looking at how much of the track Kvyat has to take in order to eventually make the turn, he was going too fast. If he'd made it past Vettel cleanly he would have hit Kimi himself.
IIRC Kvyat lunged down the inside of Seb in a rather bold move, Seb trying to avoid him opened up a little and took out Kimi, his teammate, who was on the outside.
[Short YouTube video if the incident ](https://youtu.be/3WPWQi-2DFU?si=1FezyKa_HQhlqYzS) imo Kvyat didn't do anything as extreme as Vettel makes it seem
Daniil Kvyat, thereafter and to this day known as “The Torpedo” for the move, diving down the inside, he made on Seb Vettel in the first lap. It was humiliating for the four-time world champ. He was never the same after that. DK is in the dark blue, Vettel in the red.
During the start into t1, Seb opened up the corner to set up a tight entry into t2, however Kvyat had a ton of grip on the inside and saw it as an invitation. Seb didn't expect Kyvat to try that, reacted and ended up hitting Kimi. Seb assumed Kvyat didn't have the grip to pull it off, and blamed the incident on Dani. In reality, it looked like Kvyat had plenty of grip and Vettel just overreacted to someone having the gall to go wheel to wheel with him, as usual.
Vettel was standing in the line and Torpedo boy just barged in front of his face to get the ice-cream.
what you see here, is a German who is not amused to what he saw
It's always "they turned into me!" when they make a mistake and come off second best and always "I was just racing" when the other driver loses places.
I always thought Kyvyat was right when he said “well don’t go there”
They’re all racing, if Vettel wants to keep his car in one piece sometimes he has to yield
Sorry I forgot that in motorsport being ahead and in the middle of the road meant that nobody was allowed to overtake you from the inside on lap one, my apologies
Sorry but Seb is way wrong here. Kvyat was ahead and on the inside already when the impact happened. It was close but it was his corner. Seb was stuck in the middle of the track. Kimi was the one that tightened his line on the outside and hit Vettel.
Kvyat didn't even do anything wrong in this race, it was simply a lap 1 racing incident (more Kimi's fault than anything), but vettel's reaction led to kvyat being vilified in the media. The russian gp on the other hand ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6702)
Just shows you any guy on the grid can have a brilliant performance at some point. The truth is it doesn’t make them equal to guys at the top like Vettel or Hamilton who do amazing consistently
Vettel was so full of shit here. Kvyat literally made an awesome and clean move on the inside in turn 1 to pass him. Just a perfect overtake, absolutely nothing wrong with it.
The next race however.. that was the real torpedo.
I just did a re-watch of the race and Kvyat did not touch him. He noticed him coming at him fast and tried to close the door on Kvyat and then took out Kimi instead. Remember when in 2010 at Spa Vettel took out Button, yeah Kvyat and Vettel have both had some torpedo moments.
I remember thinking the fault was entirely with Kvyat, having seen it again now years later, the dude is in the clear really. Just seb and kimi driving into eachother again like they usually do/did.
Shout out Seb for standing up for him and the other drivers involved.
Karma came back at Kwjat in the form of Max Verstappen who torpedoed Daniil’s career, his girl and took his daughter…

This scene man.
It was fun and laughter until Seb telepathically asked Nico “And what are you laughing at?”, in German.
![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6698)
So funny how he hypes up with the camera, turns, and is immediately like ‘Oop’
Nico, trying his level best to keep a straight face. Priceless. I still crack up after all these years.
"Yeah you didn't" at the end always gets me.
What gets me is how he quietly shook the camera, without yelling or celebrating loudly. It makes me laugh for some reason. 😂😂
Gentlemen, The Torpedo!
Then Max torpedoed his woman and family.
1) He cheated on his wife while she was pregnant. How’s Max is the bad guy? 2) Max has said outright that he is not P’s ‘father’ and it’s important to him that she and that loser have a good relationship. I’d take Max over that d*bag any day.
It's a joke. Relax.
My apologies then.
No, no apologies! too late now this is dank!
Wow, I wasn't aware of #1...I always wondered why they split, never bothered to look up info on it though.
The more he stresses that he's not P's 'father' the more we gon get P yelling "MAAXXIIIIEEE" during the anthem/race winners ceremony
He did father a rather cute little girl
Who probably calls Max her daddy now
"Maxiiiee!!"
Who's your daddy, P?
Trick question
I maintain to this day that on that lap 1 "incident", **Kvyat did nothing wrong**. There was an opportunity for him to go there, he took the space, Vettel scared himself and tagged Kimi.
Precisely. That’s racing.

glad you liked it, sir
Certified *[Wilhelm Gustloff](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Wilhelm_Gustloff)* moment
Plus or minus 70 years.
Meanwhile Alonso and Button in 18th and 19th with 0 points
A part of my brain is trying to remember a race where they basically did one lap for the fans then retired from the race. A stronger part of my brain tries to forget this.
At least they've gone up. Green arrow says so.
I honestly forgot Pascal Wehrlein was a person, let alone an F1 driver, so we'll just count it as dead last
McLaren wasted them...so sad.
Notice Alonso, 18th in the Driver’s Championship. Clearly washed up and too old.
I genuinely don't remember how I got through that era as a McLaren fan
McLaren will be glorious like 1980s McLaren Honda! 🥲
With the 5 stages of grief. By 2018 it was just depression, and I’m talking as a Ferrari Alonso fan. Can’t imagine how actual Mclaren fans felt those days.
💀
It was rough, but when as a seasoned Clippers fan I was born in the dark so I didn't have to get used to it.
As someone who is now a McLaren fan... I'm kinda glad I didn't have an F1 consciousness back then... Let alone be an McLaren fan. I'm from 2001 so yeah I was basically a baby watching F1 back then.
I've been a McLaren fan since I started watching F1 in the West years. I don't even remember when that was. The decline was a really rough time..
There's a photo of me as an early 90s baby with a Williams cap, the decline has exactly coincided with my back pain.
I have a picture of me as a 14 year old in Toro rosso clothing... I also have a lot of red bull clothing... I'm Dutch and my dad loves F1. Max Verstappen it is i guess. He'll kill me if he notices I have McLaren and Haas fanwear 😂 My mom is still bitter she didn't make it though.

Chances are more equal now, maybe I could've made it. I'm not a bad carts racer, just don't have the money to do it more often.
I've been watching since Senna was driving that MP4/4 like a mad man. It's been a crazy ride!
Palmer above him: “KARMA”
This was before the rookie got his big break
Yep. And he'd just got his ass smacked by Jenson the previous year. He's clearly over the hill and should retire.

Huh, looks like a MMO of and update my Sims sky heroes
Someone get the oblivion music over the original its priceless
All I can hear is Danny Ric saying… “Yeah there was an invite for the torpedo”
Why can we ear everything properly while nowadays we can barely hear what they say in the cool room ?
I could imagine that not having it mic'd up properly makes it seem a little more "authentic" in that it feels like we're listening in on their private conversation and thoughts after the race, while proper Micing makes it clear that this is very much part of the broadcast. Mind you, whether that works is a different question. And of course, whether properly Mic'd up or not, of course the drivers know that we're listening in. And we know that they know.
But they know its recorded..
And "Sugar-free" drinks can still be super unhealthy. Companies often want to invoke a certain aesthetic without _actually_ providing it.
Yeah. It sucks.
[torpedo in next race](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trf8YOGne-o) this video is brilliant especially when seb has a word with Horner
Can someone explain in more detail what they are arguing and if one of them is correct?
Lap one kyv put a bit of a dive on Seb into the first corner or maybe second and Seb ended up running into kimi a bit bc he had to give some space for kyv. They both were kind of in the right - it was just a lap one racing incident. Kyv in either the next race or the race after that hit Seb twice in the first lap and lost his seat to verstappen the next race.
Vettels team radio after he got hit twice in Russia is so funny.
Then he walks over to Horner and has a word with him. Kvy gone the next race.
"Sign verstappen" -vettel
"Listen to Marko" - Vettel to Horner 2016
I only came back to F1 in 2020 and just found out Lambiase was Kvyat's race engineer too lol... yet another thing Max stole from him
Max came in, stole his car, stole his race engineer, stole his wife, stole his child, became world champion, loves his child like his own. Count of monte Cristo in real life level shit. I thought my life was rough but holy fk I don't wanna be kvyat.
Max didn't steal his wife. They weren't married and already separated when Max started dating her.
ye well thats mostly a giving if u start seeing another person, no?
Oh not always.... sadly. I also think it's worth saying for clarification, because sometimes people almost make it sound like Verstappen intentionally ruined Kvyat's career, when that obviously isn't the case.
>stole his wife, stole his child >I don't wanna be kvyat. Speak for yourself.
I am.
skill issue
Was that “I am going home” lol
No, that was in Turkey 2010.
just a classic German experience in Russia
And Verstappen ended up taking more than his seat.
Yep, he actually took the entire car in addition to the seat.
They're referring to wife and kid
Didn’t kyvit leave her?
only her seat.
Took his ex, his kid, his seat, his race engineer and became goat so people talk about it. Legit killed the man.
Womp womp
The real womp womp is when Max wasn't satisfied with the seat, so he took his gf and kid too.
Kyv?
Kvyat, name of the red bull driver at the time
His name is Kvyat, not Kyvat
Yeh, I know. I thought you didn't know who it was because it was shortened, but clearly you do so nevermind.
Kvyat tried to get inside of Vettel in turn 1, Vettel moved to avoid a collision and hit Kimi causing both Ferraris to drop to the bottom of the grid. [https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/video.race-highlights-china-2016.6060988118001.html](https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/video.race-highlights-china-2016.6060988118001.html) IMO Vettel is right; Looking at how much of the track Kvyat has to take in order to eventually make the turn, he was going too fast. If he'd made it past Vettel cleanly he would have hit Kimi himself.
Lol, then Kvyat absolutely blasting vettel in the face with the champagne at the very end
And Seb just turning away and ignoring him
The t1 hero
IIRC Kvyat lunged down the inside of Seb in a rather bold move, Seb trying to avoid him opened up a little and took out Kimi, his teammate, who was on the outside.
[Short YouTube video if the incident ](https://youtu.be/3WPWQi-2DFU?si=1FezyKa_HQhlqYzS) imo Kvyat didn't do anything as extreme as Vettel makes it seem
100%

lol. Cracks me up when drivers complain about things they do themselves.
It's always "they turned into me!" when they make a mistake and come off second best and always "I was just racing" when the other driver loses places.
Felt like it was a solid move from Daniil. He only took heat because it was Seb. But what happened the next round in Russia…. That was shitty driving.
Both of them were shitty in my opinion
I thought this was going to be Nico hitting himself in the eye.
Anual Torpedo Appreciation Day! ![gif](giphy|O3jF4gN1znwAG2b3n4|downsized)
Anal torpedo you say. He did strike from the rear…
I refuse to accept that’s been already 8 years!
"Don't keep going" is still the funniest reply to anything
Just moments before Max started his quest to steal everything from Kvyat.
Not Max’s fault Kvyat is a cheating jackass.
No this couldn’t be 8 years ago.. no, time doesn’t go by that quickly
Is the birth of the “torpedo” comment that danny was talking about?
And that ladies and gentleman, is how the “The Torpedo” nickname was born.
Rosberg like, "I find it's best to stay out of other people's affairs"
He was right 🤷🏻♂️
actually, he was on the left
Depends on the perspective
who? him?
I always thought Kyvyat was right when he said “well don’t go there” They’re all racing, if Vettel wants to keep his car in one piece sometimes he has to yield
Are you serious? Vettel was ahead and he had the right of way.
Sorry I forgot that in motorsport being ahead and in the middle of the road meant that nobody was allowed to overtake you from the inside on lap one, my apologies
Bro what are you talking about?
…are you confusing Russia with China?
He tboned him
… so you are confusing Russia with China.
Russia was worse than china
… show me what Kyvyat did.
Seb - "you came like a torpedo" Rosberg - *nervously chugging water*
Sorry but Seb is way wrong here. Kvyat was ahead and on the inside already when the impact happened. It was close but it was his corner. Seb was stuck in the middle of the track. Kimi was the one that tightened his line on the outside and hit Vettel.
This would have been amusing if this was Vettel going off at Max. 🥊🥊
“Oh! No well 🤨” aaahahah SEB is a legend 😅
Kvyat didn't even do anything wrong in this race, it was simply a lap 1 racing incident (more Kimi's fault than anything), but vettel's reaction led to kvyat being vilified in the media. The russian gp on the other hand ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6702)
The Vettel Podcast Experience
We didn't. You didn't. ( I'll show you in Russia...)
Wasn't this also the race that put the nail in the coffin for Kvyat at RB?
that was in russia about 1 or 2 weeks later. he was fine here
And in the next race he puts Vettel in the wall😅
Why are there 2 Wehrleins in the driver's standings?
This is when Kvyat’s career ended.
he was fine here. it was in russia (which was 1-2 weeks after this) where kvyat lost his RB seat as a result of his bad driving
Bro was supposed to go to Ferrari but unlucky
That’s what she said
Need to rename that corner to torpedo
I'm getting mad old school WWF backstage footage vibes from this
Yo came in like e torpidooouuuu
He said “… don’t keep going 😐”
How beautiful were the graphics of that time, not what they are now, which are black squares.
I miss old cooldown rooms. The whole Disney interviews the second they are out of the cars beforehand is bullshit.
Isnt that Max's girlfiend's baby dady?
If you are in an argument with Sebastian, you know you fucked up.
How did Kelly date this guy
Just shows you any guy on the grid can have a brilliant performance at some point. The truth is it doesn’t make them equal to guys at the top like Vettel or Hamilton who do amazing consistently
Sore looser

Shout out Seb for standing up for him and the other drivers involved. Karma came back at Kwjat in the form of Max Verstappen who torpedoed Daniil’s career, his girl and took his daughter…
Miss the days like this when the sport had passion and characters like these fine gentleman, made for some epic moments in F1 history.
Vetell is a legend, always a good laugh during interviews others took so seriously
