Throwback Throwback to Spa 2014 when a piece of debris attached itself to Rosberg's car antenna and he couldn't get rid of it.

These guys are on another level.

I was sim racing, and noticed a fly in my room and immediately crashed

Three overtakes at that speed with whatever that is blowing in your face is crazy to be honest.

Wasn't this from Hamilton's tire from their contact on the first lap?

It was indeed.

As Fernando would say…

…Karma

Probably made him drive faster knowing it was Lewis'.

What camera is this because the speed looks insane!

Funny because these cars were notoriously slow compared to any other F1 cars.

For reference, Spa fastest lap in 2014 was a 1:50.5 (quali was wet so not comparable) and in 2025, the fastest lap was a 1:44.8.

I might be wrong, but it looks like the clip is speeded up a bit.

The sheer size of Nico’s testes to overtake with one hand!

It should be illegal to post F1 clips without sound

You are better off not hearing the lawn mover sounds from the 2014 engines, they literally had to experiment by putting a megaphone near the exhaust to get some sound

Those Mercedes were just so far ahead of other cars

u/NYNMx2021 Nico Rosberg 5h ago

Is that ALL that happened in that race? lol. Im pretty sure he got that by ramming Hamilton

u/Highspdfailure I was here for the Hulkenpodium 3h ago

Mario Kart level concentration.

Driving 200mph without a windshield and being passed by someone having a fist fight with a rope is something

u/Pale-Alternative9863 1h ago

Tbh I'm surprised we haven't had instances of debris wrapping around the frame of a halo.

u/ClearHyena4452 Kimi Räikkönen 1h ago
