u/KettleOverAPub Murray Walker 12d ago

I can't imagine any other driver they could do this for that wouldn't anger a large part of the community hahaha. So happy for him.

Kimi's 2018 US GP win was the last one that I remember.

u/sgtlighttree Who the f*ck is Nelson Piquet? 12d ago

I still remember the sheer amount of Reddit gold it got

u/tyalka93 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

Didn't it fund reddit for a week or month or some shit like that?

u/MassaF1Ferrari Ferrari 11d ago

I still dream about that win. I’ll dream about this podium too

u/YoungGriffVII I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

Albon, probably. Or one of the rookies like Antonelli or Hadjar. Still, they’d have to win for it to be as impactful as Hulkenberg’s third. Absolutely deserved.

u/krinkov Kamui Kobayashi 12d ago

Also remember when Gasly took his win? This page was riding that high for a couple weeks!

u/HomeQueenChannel 12d ago

Soooo happy for Hulk and I'd be equally happy for Albon

u/BeanieManPresents Jim Clark 12d ago

A win for Williams would be fantastic after all the time they've spent getting back up the grid.

Albon is my favorite current grid driver. I made custom AA23 fanshirts to take to the Montreal GP for me and my friends to wear. We had AA23 posters. If there was an Albodium, I think I'd die.

Man if Hadjar lands a podium...

u/Main-Acanthisitta653 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

Nah I imagine there’s a decent proportion of fans he’s annoyed by playing bumper cars all season

u/drjet196 12d ago

Damn I didn‘t realize his popularity went downhill like that. I didn‘t realize him being there at all tbh. Was one of the most popular drivers among neutrals till joining RB.

u/CDHmajora I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

Tbf, Yuki is stuck driving a bob-sled rather than a racecar this season,

Im amazed he hasn’t crashed more tbh.

Alonso win would warrant something like this as well, doubt anyone would be mad about that either

u/SolusLega I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

He's had two championships. Nico waited 15 years just for a first podium. Everyone is mentioning people who have already had podiums or haven't even been in F1 for that long. It isn't the same.

u/ClydeThaMonkey I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

Ehm. I'm probably not alone in the "I'm not a big fan of him" club. Just comes off as constantly salty

In his own words: "In Formula One, you got good guys and you got bad guys. I'm a bad guy."

u/josh02c Virgin 12d ago

constantly salty is my favourite part of Alonsos personality 🥰🥰

u/ClydeThaMonkey I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

It got unbearable at one point

u/spongemongler I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

Alonso is in a current state of salt, it’s part of his charm. You either hate it or love it

u/Medium_Cod6579 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

Alonso puts in a lot of work off the track in terms of engineering and development. When he’s salty, I think he’s salty in the “disappointed dad” sense: we did everything we could to succeed and still came up short.

u/ClydeThaMonkey I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

This is not a recent thing. He's been like this for years.

u/Browneskiii I was here for the Hulkenpodium 11d ago

I feel like an Alonso win would actually break reddit.

Kimi's almost did and it was after 5 years. If Alonso gets it after nearly triple that wait, then I can see it happening.

u/savvaspc 12d ago

I don't like Alonso

Cmon its not 2004 anymore

Alonso's 33rd win?

u/luluballoon I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

I feel like Gasly’s win might have had similar vibes. That race was like a fairy tale.

u/Upbeat_County9191 Bernd Mayländer 12d ago

Alonso perhaps

u/ComeAlongPond1 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

I don’t think they did it for Lewis’s win last year but that was pretty popular all around

u/TypicallyThomas I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12d ago

If you're not happy for Hulk, you cannot consider yourself an F1 fan

u/Geminispace FIA 12d ago

Do it for lando 🙂

u/dare_films Aston Martin 11d ago

If Alonso gets another race win..

u/icecubepal 12d ago

Well it helps when you aren’t really a competitive driver, as in you don’t get wins, so no one sees you as a threat.
