The championship this season has been tense. With Christian Horner and Toto Wolff sounding their battle horns and Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton keeping it close on the tracks; drama floods the paddock. However, popular impressionist Conor Moore brought in some much-needed comedic relief with his latest sketch.

As impressive as always, not only were the voices absolutely perfect, but even the mannerisms of the championship protagonists were on point. In fact, if one just closed their eyes, it could well be Max and Lewis sharing their take on the championship. Further, the dialogues were riotously funny.

As Lewis Hamilton, the Irishman took a dig at the season that has gone by, with very Hamilton-esque coating. “Usually everyone’s always out to get me. But this year? You know, Red Bull, they’ve thrown everything at me. They’ve thrown stewards at me, penalties. Max even threw his car at me at one point.” Referring to the incident in Monza, the dialogue was pure genius.

As “Hamilton” ended his statement criticizing Verstappen’s aggression, the Dutchman was next in the hot seat. Now Verstappen had some things to say. “Yeah, I don’t think I’m aggressive at all. I think that’s a very unfair comment from Lewis. I think if anything, I’m not aggressive enough.”

Although Conor squinted his eyes in concentration and broke his sentences with Verstappen’s characteristic ‘ums’; the real Max shone through when he blurted, Can we just stop with these f*cking questions!” Completing the bit with a thump on the table, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

Hamilton and Verstappen accompanied by Buxton, Sainz and more

Lewis and Max weren’t the only ones honored with such accurate depictions of themselves. Drive to Survive star and F1’s very own, Will Buxton, may have to check for a clone in the video. From Buxton’s trademark whispering and eye movements and the awe in his commentary- all perfectly echoed by Moore.

When we thought that Kimi ‘Iceman’ Raikkonen would go unmatched, Conor Moore proved us wrong. Raikkonen’s steely demeanor, complete with the sunglasses and hat, you could mistake the two for each other. Even the, “Yeah to be honest with you, I really don’t give a sh*t,” would have us fooled.

However, it was Carlos Sainz that took the cake. Moore mirrored the Spaniard effortlessly as he sang “Smooth Operator, Smooth Operator.” The McLaren duo was also featured on the video. Norris ended his “mature” conversation with a pacifier in his mouth, while Danny Ric suffered from a stuck smile.
