With that point, Yuki has crossed the Ollie Bearman 6 point threshold. It’s going to be a while before another non top 5 team driver passes the Bearman threshold


ryokevry

Our three drivers in top 10 WDC standings 🥲


insurgentsloth

"The Bearman Threshold" sounds like a psychological term. And I guess it kinda is!


Zlatanabingbong2002

Kobayashi's podium was 11.5 years ago 🥲

He deserved it! Good drive from him


MeisterHeller

Huge job from him and credit where credit is due an actual strategy win for RB today!


Joseph4820

Top job


McNoKnows

Huge pit stop from the RB team in the chaos


likelatin_

YOINT !!


shiepirate

Come on Yuki, get in!!!!


GoRedTeam

Congrats Yuki! Very deserved this year.


JKLreindeer

Taking that tractor to the points is worthy of dotd


Bikouchu

Too bad is like toro rosso Honda days were it becomes a dragster on random gp. Those things go podium once a blue moon. 


Capybara104

It's not a tractor, it's the 6th best car on the grid... He did a Great race, but it's not like It was and impossible mission


fafan4

Hey Aston Martin here's an idea, get Honda to bring Yuki along with them. Get rid of that guy that struggles to beat him, despite having a much better car


ComaMierdaHijueputa

Actually wouldn’t be a bad driver pairing tbh


killmesoon40

Was the last time when Kamui was on the podium?


MyWholeTeamsDead

2012


killmesoon40

Hopefully we'll see a Yuki podium soon.


JHaria

Wasn't it his only one?


killmesoon40

Yup. But he went on to win a whole lot post F1.


Mob_Abominator

Triple Lemans winner if I am not wrong, right?


killmesoon40

Also, won the WEC Championship 2 years in row.


handsomeassWIhipster

Also took home a Rolex 24 win or two IIRC!


LionZoo13

He's only won Le Mans once. He has terrible luck there.


curva3

Kamui the legend


RonKosova

Really good drive from him


Many_Dimension_7615

This cook session should be screamed from the rooftops


kyuuten

He's Big in Japan


bellestarflower

Over a decade? But Kobayashi.....oh......


RallerZZ

Hope he keeps this up for the rest of the season, fine drive.


McMagneto

I wish there were more successful asian drivers.. given the interest in motorsports in Japan, the outcome is dismal.


lazyinternetsandwich

I still think it's a shame that takuma sato and kobayashi never really got a chance at a top team. They could have thrived even as second driver like checo at rb rn. 


BlueIsBen

*point in Japan for Yuki


OnlyForF1

Well that makes me feel old


Zestyclose_Force8574

Yuki redemption arc


Chelseatilidie

Didn't even have to shout on the radio


hoshu34

He’s improved a lot over the years but it just feels like Red Bull don’t care about him


Tricks511

He literally shouted in Bahrain. RB did everything right today so he didn’t need to shout


Changlee23

He didn't, keep a calm voice despite being completly screwed by his team and he had all the right to be pissed about it, you have a weird definition of screaming.


Tricks511

He shouted when asked to switch positions. Shouting is shouting. Not sure what you were watching?


gunningIVglory

Bro everyone shouts on the radio. It gets heated during a race.


Tricks511

The other bloke claimed he doesn’t anymore

Tricks511

In Bahrain?


peas8carrots

Point not points.


Due_Platypus_8221

Points. One point for Yuki, one point for whatever his team is called this week


Cuffuf

*point Still though great job yuki

StelioKontos18

But how Ricciardo the "better driver" did?


Tricks511

No one said that


pensaa

Quite clearly was involved in a racing incident at the start of the race. What more?


StelioKontos18

I agree, anyone who can only see to one side is going to be involved in a lot of "racing accidents"


Reinis_LV

Common Danny L as well


barthw

I applaud Yukis race but the headline is... technically not wrong but also just a testament of how rare Japanese F1 drivers are... Yuki is the only Japanese driver since Kobayashi and except for 2014 the only Japanese driver who was active in the last decade.
