Internet reactions | 'What a mega sprint race, Verstappen didn't give up'
- GPblog.com
The first sprint race of the season was more exciting than expected. Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc once again battled each other, but it was the Dutchman who ran away with the victory despite losing the lead on the opening lap. Verstappen will therefore start from P1 for the Grand Prix of Imola. GPblog lists some of the best internet reactions.
Verstappen has still won every race he’s finished this year

Hamilton took the chequered flag 41.4 seconds behind Verstappen after 21 laps of racing. #ImolaGP

I’d swap a Sprint F1 race for a free-practice session any day.

Do you know what, that was actually an enjoyable sprint race, format still isn’t perfect but works a lot better with these new 2022 cars #F1 #ImolaGP

Interesting that @Max33Verstappen overtook @Charles_Leclerc two laps from home. Clearly confident he could pull out of DRS range of the graining #Ferrari in just a couple of laps. #f1 #imola

Wow. Great race! #f1

The crazy fact is, no Mercedes in the top 10. Who would have imagined that a year ago? #ImolaGP #F1 #EmiliaRomagnaGP

"Maybe we haven't got it right this year" - Lewis Hamilton

Oh dear, even Lewis seems to be acknowledging the realities of the state of Mercedes' car.#F1 #Formula1 #ImolaGP #F1Sprint
In my opinion, Ferrari vs RB is a way healthier battle than RB vs Mercedes was.#ImolaGP

That was, acceptable. Shame we've had a pretty big teaser for tomorrow, but hey, fun. #F1Sprint

Lost at the start but never gave up, mega Sprint by Max
— Aldas (@Aldas001) April 23, 2022
That Red Bull with the DRS is an absolute rocket down the straights
Best sprint so far that - very enjoyable, even if DRS was a bit OP! #F1 #ImolaGP

I could watch Max Verstappen and Charles LeClerc slice and dice for years and years to come. Shades of Senna and Prost. Beautiful. #F1 #IMOLAGP #SprintRace pic.twitter.com/NHWkbl6loK

Could Verstappen be the first to take pole and win the sprint and then win the race as well? #ImolaGP #wtf1
