George Russell and Kimi Antonelli share podium
On Monday, Russell took to his Instagram page to share a post after his win. He shared pictures of himself and Kimi drenched in champagne and posing with their trophies and wrote, 'Champagne showers.
Solid job, team.'
Fans loved their bonding, visible in the pictures. A fan called it 'Big bro and little bro energy.' Another wrote, 'This is so brother core and I love it.' One more commented, 'The best driver duo, We love you boys!!' A comment from Adidas Motorsport's Instagram page read: 'This is what champagne dreams are made of.'
George Russell had won the pole and was able to maintain his lead throughout the race, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen trailing behind in second place ever since the race started.
The season's leading driver, Oscar Piastri, had a last-moment clash with his teammate Lando Norris and ended up taking fourth position in the race.
An overjoyed Russell had said after the win, "It is amazing to be back on the top step. I felt last year was a victory lost, so to get the victory and see Kimi on the podium too is an amazing day for the team. I think the strength of our car is in the cooler conditions so let's see in the coming races, but let's enjoy this for now. Good day, good day!"

Viral: Man reveals how a technical glitch on Instagram almost ended his 12-year marriage
Image credits: Getty Images Until now, factors like cheating or lying could break up a marriage, but in a revelation going viral on Reddit, a man revealed how a technical glitch on Instagram almost ended his 12-year marriage. Taking to the relationships sub-thread on the social media app, a 34-year-old man shared how his wife, 32, almost broke up with him due to a harmless DM thread on Instagram he appeared to have sent during the weekend he was off-grid. He added how they resolved the issue but it showed the couple how fragile trust is and how scary technical glitches can be. The scary incident Image credits: Reddit "Hey Reddit, This might sound strange, but a silly bug on Instagram nearly ended my 12-year marriage." began the man in the post. He shared that he and his wife are from wife and have been together since college in Pune when they met during their B.A. days. Over the years, they tackled long-distance with her working in Hyderabad and him staying in Mumbai and even staying together through family pressure, hob stress and the loss of close ones. During all these years, trust had never been an issue for the couple but that changed two months ago when one evening they were chilling at home after dinner when his wife was scrolling through Instagram and suddenly gave him a "What is this?" look. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 한 달의 집중, 배우고 행동한 사람만이 느낀 변화 마크로헤지코리아 Undo Apparently, she had found a DM between him and a mutual friend of theirs which consisted of an old meme and some harmless banter. The problem here was the timestamp, wrote the man adding that according to Instagram, he had sent the message during a weekend when the couple were together at his wife's farmhouse in Lonavala, "completely off the grid, no mobile signal, no wifi" He added how his wife naturally got suspicious, considering it looked like he had lied about being offline and was secretly chatting with someone else. The difficult resolve Image credits: Getty Images The man added that he remembered that the conversation had happened months ago, way before the trip. He even found a screenshot in his gallery with the original date, but Instagram's glitch made it look recent and his wife didn't believe him. He shared how their relationship suffered with his wife becoming more distant and their usual "chai-time" conversations were replaced with awkward silences. He added feeling helpless with the effort of fighting something that looked "digitally true" Set on resolving the issue, he researched on Reddit, and tech forums and even approached Meta support. At that time, he found dozens of users, some even from India reporting the same bug: Instagram's DMs showing wrong timestamps, out-of-order messages and even replies appearing after the original message. He showed all the evidence to his wife and even recreated the glitch using another account. Gradually, she started believing him and they had a long, emotional conversation where it hit them how "fragile" trust can be and how quickly a few lines of code can shake a relationship. He shared his advice from the incident, suggesting people talk if something feels off in their relationship and not rely on what an app showed. "Sometimes it's not cheating, it's just bad software," he wrote.
