A shitty opinion is still regarded as opinion

At the end of the day

[craggy tulip]

It’s aight man they got valid points too?

[carmine niche]

Hello guys, I'm new here

[fleet aspen]

In the beginning yes. I do agree that Lando is a gifted driver. Is he capable of a WDC, my opinion yes absolutely.

He has the fastest car, a good amount of experience and the determination.

However Lando has made a habit of ignoring team orders and decisions in what he thinks he knows better which has cost him P1 on At least 2 races this season.

If Norris and McLaren sort out their petty issues they could be a huge contender for WDC 2024

[snow swan]

Mate, they are literally asking him what to do. In the middle of racing on track. Like what

[fleet aspen]

I’m not your mate.

[craggy tulip]

all true. Nuthin to do w ego in this race yh. All to do w team orders n strat

[snow swan]

Find me a source where you can find that Lando has asked the whole McLaren team to consult him with their strategies

Not a tiktok edit, it's not a source

For sure, Lando asked them to make the car the way he wanted to be made

[fleet aspen]

Lando did chose to defy McLaren by staying out later when asked to come in Barcelona.

He did the same thing in Canada.

He lost both to max.

[snow swan]

They are literally asking him about the options, the pitwall needs to do their own job calling him when they have the calculations ready

[craggy tulip]

That’s the decision he made based off what he felt in real time. Mistakes do happen + we can’t confirm boxing at that time woulda gotten the p1. It’s always if if ifs w racing we know how it is

[snow swan]

I don't see why it is about ego or defying orders

Shit pitstops are also not to blame on the driver

[craggy tulip]

True enough but there are stats that pitwall cannot access n lando knows alone

[snow swan]

The lap times are all that they need from their rivals and their own drivers

They see the degradation chart, Lando does not

All Lando could tell his how he feels about the tire

[fleet aspen]

What you said is exactly the point the other two people I just blocked don’t understand.

How Lando feels is irrelevant, it does not matter. He is a driver, The car needs to be driven. Remove emotion from the track. It’s irrelevant and not even considered in teams simulators for a reason.

[craggy tulip]

That’s not the only factor deciding pitting surely u know that

[snow swan]

And his own pace

[snow swan]

LMFAO he blocked me

[pure aurora]

ahh ok thanks

[fleet aspen]

@craggy tulip a drivers job is to get from A to A as fast as possible is all

Teams engineers will give them the best chance of strategy

[craggy tulip]

To be fair like he is the one manning the car and yh emotion has nothing to do w it but he does have valid input on whether the team should decide to pit

[snow swan]

Max getting 1.9s in pitstop and Lando 3s is also a reason he has ego?

[fleet aspen]

Of course a driver does have valid input. But that doesn’t mean they understand the machine they’re operating as much as the engineers which has been displayed numerous times.

Even max gets owned by his engineer 😅

[craggy tulip]

The amount of factors that govern this process of A to A is so many. Wind for example was a huge inconsistent factor in this race affecting dirty air n slipstream

[snow swan]

I still have my receipts if anyone needs it

[fleet aspen]

I completely agree there is a lot of variables that are impossible to predict correctly

[slim chasm]

what stats is that

the team knows everything in a dry race

[fleet aspen]

But teams run simulators every lap

To help make impossible as possible

[craggy tulip]

Yep which is why these split second decisions can easily be made wrong

[fleet aspen]

You’re joking?

[slim chasm]

no?

[snow swan]

The only joke I can see is you brother

[fleet aspen]

Absolutely, people sit there watching F1 and complain about decisions but it’s not always that obvious with all the data

[snow swan]

Bringing a tiktok edit from a kid to show why Lando has ego

[craggy tulip]

not a genius here but let’s say how wind is affecting driving as it changes? Could be wrong

[snow swan]

The wind tracker is on the pitwall

[fleet aspen]

I’m not sure how someone could accurately predict race conditions in terms of heat, precipitation, humidity etc 👀

[slim chasm]

the pitwall knows that

they got wind data

[slim chasm]

weather data

I mean really, that is the most basic data available

[snow swan]

If Lando was to see all that, he would end up in barrier in turn 1

Every race

[fleet aspen]

And yet I’ve seen countless races won on the wrong days of weather 😅

[slim chasm]

on the what

[snow swan]

Bro what

[fleet aspen]

Choosing of the wrong starting tires

[slim chasm]

that is a decision made by the team to account for future variables

ofc it can't all be 100% right

[fleet aspen]

I know what it is and who makes it. Why are you telling me this?

[snow swan]

I love it here

[slim chasm]

the team

unless there's a driver that's a clairvoyant and a weather engineer

can't say I ever saw one tbh

[craggy tulip]

Lovely isn’t it. Being unnecessarily defensive is just the best thing

[fleet aspen]

Bro are you good?

[slim chasm]

what?

[fleet aspen]

Why are you telling me this?

[slim chasm]

to... reply to your question

yes?

[fleet aspen]

Imma leave it tonight

I think I need to sleep

I’m tired

[slim chasm]

bro def needs some sleep

[fleet aspen]

My bad

[fleet aspen]

I do my bad bro

Sleep well

[ripe phoenix]

[slim chasm]

I wish I can sleep rn

don't think my company approves a 2 PM siesta

[craggy tulip]

Wot time is it for yall

[snow swan]

3:15 AM, called in for work

Need to process why the weekend went too quickly

[craggy tulip]

😬 that’s tough.

It’s a breezy 4 in the afternoon here

[snow swan]

All I got is rain

[slim chasm]

around 2

scorching Southeast Asia heat

ffs

[craggy tulip]

All melb got is crippling cold

[late tide]

7am.. haven’t slept

god bless

[craggy tulip]

ah damn

[craggy tulip]

Yo??

[snow swan]

Sleep is a choice, not a chore

[late tide]

I meant to sleep ages ago but I got too engrossed in my game and before I knew it

5 hours gone

xD

[snow swan]

5 hours well spent*

[late tide]

so I’ll just pull an allnighter and go gym for the day

[slim chasm]

could be worse, could be 50 degrees like in South Asia and Middle East

[craggy tulip]

Said every in denial insomniac

[late tide]

well said haha

[snow swan]

Checo seems to have gotten a little bit of a grip of that RBR?

Finally finishing a race in points

[slim chasm]

barely

lol

though the 3 stop is fucking wild

[craggy tulip]

Checo cracking me up man. Got a 2yr contract renewal n delivers a dnf n p8 😂

[snow swan]

He is trying

I give him full marks

For not getting curious to feel the gravel

[craggy tulip]

Albon in the gravel n then his radio killlled me

[snow swan]

All he needs to do is to gain some confidence in Austria

It's a good easy track to push

I hope he can get a podium

Mercedes getting podiums is not what I had hoped to see quite often

[craggy tulip]

The merc podiums surprised me didn’t see that coming

[snow swan]

There won't be any major upgrades to any teams right?

The whole triple header is done with the same cars from Spain to Silverstone?

[craggy tulip]

Was so good to see bbygrl supreme Sir Hamilton on the podium again tho

[craggy tulip]

I think so alpine n rb had some upgrades for Spain

[snow swan]

Alpine got there both cars into Q3 was a surprise

[craggy tulip]

Double alpine in the points??? Did they sabotage rb cash or what

Danny ric seeing his last year fs

[fringe yew]

As a former Ricciardo fan, YES PLEASE.

[blissful lotus]

What happened to Pastry in qualifying? If his lap time didn't get deleted in Q3, would he be closer to the front?

[raven wagon]

Yes definitely

Maybe around P5 P6

Cause Oscars 2nd sector was 0.124 down on Maxs time

However Max havent set his latest lap then

[blissful lotus]

[snow swan]

Freak mula one

[proven leaf]

I agree with that on you

[snow sorrel]

Or their articles are part of their videos on YouTube. They don't go for long and high detailed articles since it's not their priority lmao.

Their podcast is something different though.

[sly badger]

For real,how Ferrari fell up so hard in just a month

[serene ridge]

Carlos sainz to replace bernd maylander

[craggy tulip]

new team: Safe Racing

[serene ridge]

His dad drives rally I wouldn't be too sure about safe

[craggy tulip]

He’s gonna be the mazespin of safety car drivers

[trail lake]

Sainz is genuinely better off using his talent in another Motorsport rather than dying in a Williams

Like someone tell me I’m not right

[lone vale]

Where is he gonna go?

[coarse obsidian]

We've been saying this from day 1.

[cold solar]

da hell happened to ferrari 😭

mclaren is more of a competitor now towards redbull rather than ferrari at this point

[compact cove]

Ferrari being ferrari

[cold solar]

fr

but this time there aint no binotto to blame

[proven leaf]

Tbh ferrari doesn't like this track

Car isn't suit for this

[pastel cave]

What the hell is going on with checo

[hushed olive]

Their Cars got sabotaged after monaco

[slim chasm]

the classic ferrari cycle

give you them hopiums

[hushed olive]

Man bourdais was such a Bad racer in f1 but so good in another categories

[slim chasm]

3rd best Sebastian in the 2000s

it happens

[proper monolith]

i thought i messaged this cause i have the same pfp

kekw

[mint shadow]

lol

[cobalt sleet]

hello

dosent hamilton have 70pts?

[spare heart]

man, i know people are saying 'sainz is a cry baby' when hamilton overtook him but bro, he was overtook by the man that is going to replace him next year, obviously it's gonna hurt.

[lone vale]

Off topic but

Lewis finally looks he trusts the car

Before there’s no way he makes that move

[spare heart]

yup. and the ferrari are back to not trusting the car tbh. they need to get their shit up or it's becoming embarrassing once again to be a ferrari fan LMFAO

[spare heart]

yup

mclaren's upgrades were wonderful, mercedes the same, get your shit together ferrari

[lone vale]

I think both drivers are trusting the car

And there ready to push the limits

Hamilton he never trusted the pace in the car

But it’s sad

They finally get there sh together

And new regs are coming

[spare heart]

it was like that at the start of the season, now though i really don't think so, after canada leclerc and sainz post-race interviews were 'the pace of the car just wasn't great.' and the same thing after this race with the hards (in carlos' case)

[lone vale]

Back to back races Mercedes were top 3 fastest

[spare heart]

yup, ferrari are now down to top 4

it's sad

[main heron]

bro im not watchung f1 next year if carlos is gonna fucking race for williams or soe shit

[lone vale]

Mercedes need to fix some pit stop issues and get the Strats right

Cause pit stops were not good

[spare heart]

it's so sad

[spare heart]

yeah

[lone vale]

Alpine is a contender

[main heron]

imma have to change my fucking pfp 😭

[spare heart]

did alpine offer sainz? i didn't see

[main heron]

idc

[lone vale]

Yeah I’ve heard

[spare heart]

but still, he deserves so much better, poor boy

[lone vale]

Sky sports and Espn

[spare heart]

ah

[proven leaf]

Pretty much the same for mcl

[main heron]

as long as sainz is not racing for mclaren, ferrari, red bull or mercedes, im not watching that shit

[spare heart]

oh imagine if sainz stayed at mclaren rn

[lone vale]

Redbull aren’t the fastest

[spare heart]

^

[lone vale]

There’s a close race between mainly

Max
Lando
Lewis
Russel
Sometimes Charles

It goes down to who has the right Strat

[main heron]

k

[lone vale]

And the right pit stop times

[main heron]

ughhh

[lone vale]

It’s true imo

[spare heart]

that's been tbh after the last 2 races, before that carlos and charles were definitely in the fight

[proven leaf]

Tbh mcl needs to give orders to lando

[lone vale]

Mcl keep fucking up

[proven leaf]

Like instead of letting him say the plan

[main heron]

guys how tf do u add servers to dicord

[lone vale]

They pit to Kate

Late

[spare heart]

yeah i agree

[main heron]

discord*

[proven leaf]

Could've been a win

[lone vale]

Way to late

[lone vale]

Canada too

[spare heart]

mclaren are definitely the most stable right now

[lone vale]

There DECISON making in tight spots are bad

Redbull are used to making close calls

[spare heart]

bro this is so off topic but my neighbours are SO fucking loud its crazy

[lone vale]

As well as Mercedes

[lone vale]

Lmao

[proven leaf]

That pitstop gap 1.3 seconds . Lando might've been able to catch up

[spare heart]

yup

[lone vale]

McLaren don’t know when to put

[proven leaf]

Closer racing maybe but I doubt he'd have overtaken

[lone vale]

Pit when they lead

Russel could’ve won

[spare heart]

sainz's strategy also sold him tbh

[lone vale]

But he made mistakes on track

Canada and Spain those were Russel and Norris to win

[proven leaf]

Ferrari tbh didn't have a shot even at the podium this weekend

[lone vale]

But they fumbled on track

[spare heart]

yeah

[proven leaf]

By that I mean Spain.

[spare heart]

yeah it's becoming real sad

[lone vale]

For Canada I mean pit stops

[spare heart]

hii

[proven leaf]

That is true

[proven leaf]

The car maybe just isn't as well roinder

Rounded

[lone vale]

And Honer said

I think that’s how you spell it

Said a real race track shows Perez pace

[proven leaf]

I just hope lando bags a wins a few by this season

[proven leaf]

• christian horner

[lone vale]

Perez was 8th

[woeful mist]

Austria GP full time Join Áss

[lone vale]

Far off the top 6

It was a mistake to sign Perez

[proven leaf]

He just doesn't have the pace atm or maybe he just isn't comfortable

[spare heart]

tbh, perez isn't worthy of the red bull seat more than lance stroll is unworthy of the aston martin seat

[lone vale]

The only reason rb 1st in Wdc

Is cause of max

And Ferrari need to lock tf in

The have a clear shot

To take p1

[proven leaf]

There is a shot for mcl

[lone vale]

Perez is selling

[proven leaf]

A loopoong shot

[spare heart]

later that will change, i'm very sure that the constructer's will be for another team (possibly ferrari or mclaren, mostly ferrari if they lock in once again) and driver's for max obviously

[lone vale]

Piastri needs top 5’s

But

Then comes Mercedes

Mercedes is fully locked in

Which is good

Sh for other teams

Cause now Ferrari can’t might rb

[proven leaf]

Merc has an extremely low chance tbh .. they're just too far back

[lone vale]

There fighting fucking mcl and Mercedes

[lone vale]

They don’t have a chance

But they have a chance to ruin other ppls chances

[spare heart]

what they mean is that they can take the top spots in the races though

like they can ruin the others chances of getting good points

but it's late to win the wdc

[lone vale]

And now McLaren is fighting Mercedes

[proven leaf]

Exactly

[lone vale]

Exactly

So now rb

[proven leaf]

Yeah podiums are possible

[lone vale]

They don’t even need Perez

[proven leaf]

Wins ? Ehh

[main bolt]

at some point they will

[proven leaf]

Yup

[lone vale]

Mercedes is helping rb

They don’t want to

But that’s where they are

[spare heart]

honestly, even with all of these improvements from mcl and mercedes, i still believe that the majority of the race wins will stay for max, he's a beast lmao

[lone vale]

Yeah

If one team

Can’t get consistent 2-3’s

[spare heart]

just ferrari really really needs to lock the fuck in

[lone vale]

Or even 2-4’s

[snow swan]

I think max will win this wdc too but yk anything can happen now

[lone vale]

They can do that

McLaren and Mercedes have the best chance to do that

[proven leaf]

A 69 point diff in wdc and 93 for mcl and 60 for ferrari in wcc

[lone vale]

McLaren have the best chance to win wcc

Ferrari need to lock in

[spare heart]

yeah unless ferrari locks in

[proven leaf]

I know he will dominate yes . Just not as nuch

[lone vale]

This will feed generations if Ferrari sell

[spare heart]

i believe that it will stay as it is right now - probably like 3 wins for max and then a driver from another team wins, but his wins will remain consistent

[lone vale]

I have

Ferrari winning it

If

[proven leaf]

I know there will be atleast 5 to 8 races he will lose

[lone vale]

Charles and sainz can stop being petty

[proven leaf]

Already 3 I believe ? Or was it 4

[lone vale]

Idk wtf those responses were in the interviews

[spare heart]

max is a wonderful driver in great machinery, whilst lando is a great driver in wonderful machinery, he still makes too many mistakes tbh

[proven leaf]

Monaco , Miami aus

[lone vale]

But if there fighting on track not gonna get them fouls

Podiums

[lone vale]

Yeah

[spare heart]

honestly, as a ferrari fan, i was so disappointed

[lone vale]

I think

Lewis,Lando,Russel,even Charles

[proven leaf]

Max is just that good

[lone vale]

Put them in a redbull

They could be like max

[proven leaf]

Iean yeah norris is around 90 percent of what Max's level is

[spare heart]

i don't think so

currently the mclaren is obviously better than the red bull

[proven leaf]

I dont think so

[spare heart]

lewis obviously had his prime but it's not at the moment

[lone vale]

I think when redbull was before

Not now

[spare heart]

and charles, i think he's becoming overrated tbh

[mint shadow]

woman : ''men dont have any emotoins'' men :https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HSxJytWWasA...

[lone vale]

I woke up 30 minutes after the race

I started watching lap 20 something

[proven leaf]

Man that turn 1

If only lando had kept the p1

[mint shadow]

yea😭

[lone vale]

Lando has a lot to learn

Mainly him and his team decision making

[spare heart]

i think the races now show us actually how good max is, before we were like 'oh its the car its really good and also max is a good driver so what a good combo' but now its 'the car isn't as good as we thought it was and yet its driver, max vertappen, an absolute beast can still win consecutive races against those with better machinery' lando, lewis (right now), charles, russell, obviously can't be like that lol

[mint shadow]

lol

[mint shadow]

thats true

[lone vale]

Max is a good driver

I’ll never take that away from him

[spare heart]

yes ofc

[lone vale]

But there’s drivers coming closer and closer to home

Him

He’s not gapping them now

[spare heart]

who are these drivers?

[lone vale]

If Lando could’ve cleared the Mercedes faster

He would’ve had more time

To catch max

[lone vale]

From what I’ve seen

The mercs Lando and Charles

[mint shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/formula-1-f1-max-verstappen-redbull-racing-gif-3945365339039900799

[spare heart]

yes but the thing is lando has a much better car than max does, so we can keep on saying 'if and if and if' but the thing is, lando cannot do these 'ifs' yet, and he also has a better car

[lone vale]

I’m not talking about the car

I’m talking bout the cars and the drivers

[spare heart]

lando has more potential than charles tbh

[mint shadow]

the mclaren is the better car now?

[lone vale]

Yeah

[spare heart]

i know, what i'm saying is that lando, the guy with the best machinery, couldn't get close to max who has a worse car as of right now, so obviously there is a gap

[lone vale]

From the stats

[spare heart]

yeah %100

[lone vale]

And the simulations

[mint shadow]

okey

[lone vale]

He was close wdym

He was like 1 second off

[spare heart]

i kinda forgot sorry, wasn't it 2 seconds?

[lone vale]

If he didn’t fight the Mercedes

[spare heart]

oh 1 second?

[lone vale]

1.9

[spare heart]

yeah smth like that

[lone vale]

Don’t ask why I know the exact time lol

[spare heart]

LMAO

[lone vale]

I’m not trying to make excuses

But

Mercedes fucked Lando

Cause the fight with Russel

Took about 2 seconds off the gap

And Lewis was about a second

[spare heart]

yeah for sure

[lone vale]

That could’ve been a win

[lone vale]

Russel he went from sector 1 to end of sector 2

[spare heart]

but the thing is, it was his fault for losing those positions yk

he was the man at pole

[lone vale]

Lewis it took sector 1 to end of sector 1

[lone vale]

Yes definitely

[calm pilot]

lando choked sry its his fault

[spare heart]

if it weren't for that then he wouldn't have had to fought with the mercedes, so it was because he messed up at the start

[calm pilot]

better car and pole

and he still gets dotd

[lone vale]

Better starts to

Russel had a incredible start

[spare heart]

yeah it was really nice ofc

are ferrari bringing upgrades the next race or no?

[lone vale]

I think merc are

[spare heart]

oh we're so cooked

[lone vale]

Austria and silverstone are the next upgrades coming

[spare heart]

for mercedes? or which teams

[lone vale]

Mercedes

Austria silverstone and then Belgium

Fuck load of upgrades

[lone vale]

And redbull and McLaren are probably bringing stuff too

But no news of that

[spare heart]

oooooohh

[spare heart]

that's sick

and waht's up w ferrari, are they happy as they are right now? LMFAO

[lone vale]

and you know something?

[spare heart]

hm?

[lone vale]

Lewis stopped trying to be An enginner and fucking his setups up

[spare heart]

bro these neighbours istg 😭

[lone vale]

Before Lewis did his setup

Now he dosent

[spare heart]

ngl thats kinda funny

but that's good

[lone vale]

P4 and a p4

With no help

With help p7’s

[spare heart]

i have no idea if theyre fighting or laughing bc there's some REALLY LOUD banging but also theyre laughing so hard like WHAT

[spare heart]

yupp

[lone vale]

Prob watching a movie

[spare heart]

nah bc i can feel the ceiling above me shake when they start hitting shit so i'm like WHAT

[lone vale]

No clue then

[spare heart]

fr

[lone vale]

But Mercedes better not sell for new regs

[spare heart]

REAL

[lone vale]

Cause this progress dosent mean sh

[spare heart]

yup

[lone vale]

If they don’t do good with new regs

Ferrari too

Cause Lewis is coming

They need a good car

[spare heart]

idk why but i feel like ferrari will either cook so hard or fall downhill ngl

it's such a ferrari move to be either shit or too good

[lone vale]

I think it’s anyone’s game

[spare heart]

yeah

[lone vale]

Anyone could build a car

[spare heart]

yup

[lone vale]

The lowest point in Mercedes season

Was when the drivers themselves didn’t even believe the pace of the car

When they went p1-p2

[spare heart]

this season, right?

[lone vale]

Yeah

[spare heart]

BRB

back

[lone vale]

What’s funny is

The game really well represents the r&d irl

Redbull first

McLaren is close

Then there’s Ferrari

Then Mercedes

Sometimes Aston Martin goes 1st

Which is weird

[spare heart]

LMFAO

[lone vale]

The order in my save right now

Season 4

Redbull
Ferrari
Mercedes
McLaren
Aston Martin
Haas
Williams
Alpine
Rb
Kick

Like that I’m pretty sure

But it’s really close

[desert ingot]

which team is the audi one?

[cyan saffron]

Sauber

[desert ingot]

oh the Kick Sauber.

you saw the sims

in the past 3-4 races

its between merc,mcl,rb not in that order

redbull isnt the fastest

[potent hound]

You’re wrong 😡

[lone vale]

huh

[potent hound]

Charles is faster thab both merc

[lone vale]

i never said he was slower

[narrow garnet]

Fdata has slightly different, has everyone incredibly close to one another

Charles got ahead of Hamilton on start but had to slow for Norris into 1

Honda is increasingly likely to confirm that Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has lost one of his #F1 power units and may soon have to face a 10-place grid drop.

Here's what we know so far ⬇️

Fellas

I think another Red Bull weakness has been found

Well it's more like a honda weakness but you get the idea

My question is

Are Red Bull pushing the honda engine as much as it's physically possible right now?

Because it's unusual to lose another power unit like this when you are using the engine normally

So they're probably pushing it too much currently

[serene ridge]

Massive Uh Oh

Hot Take: I kinda want Max Not to get a penalty so that Lando can Challenge him in a 1v1 fight. I'm going to get targeted saying this.

Especially I as a Lando Fan

[neat latch]

Same

It's going to happen at some point

Lando just needs to man up

[serene ridge]

He needs to lock in.

[neat latch]

Lando and mclaren

They're not a midfield team anymore

They are front runners, and they need to act like so

[serene ridge]

Absolutely

[hallow owl]

mclaren has terrible strategy

[serene ridge]

Yeah they're off

[proven leaf]

I agree as another mcl fan

[hallow owl]

cost him the win in canada and in spain by pitting him late on that medium stint

thye need to start pitting with max or 1 lap after to keep that gap the same

they take too big of a risk with their strategies which makes no sense now that they’re fighting for wins

[proven leaf]

Can't undercut or overcut in that case

[hallow owl]

yea thats the point

[serene ridge]

I will defend that the first stop actually is a success because it helped him overtake George and he got newer tires. But that 2nd stop is where I think he could've pitted earlier and McLaren making that slow stop.

[proven leaf]

But then you have to rely on pure racing

Ngl max is a beast and i doubt lando can win head to head

I mean sure there's a possibility but yeah that's slim

[thick pulsar]

But he does have the faster car

[serene ridge]

True but Lando is learning however

[proven leaf]

Exactly

Hw needs time getting used to the front

[serene ridge]

Like he's gotten better but not there yet

[proven leaf]

I suppose next season is where the fun starts

[hallow owl]

in spain he pitted a few laps after max and came out 8 seconds behind after that medium stint going into the last soft stint, if he had pitted when max had pitted, his gap would have only been 4 seconds. lando shaved that 8 second gap down to 2 by the end of the race, so he gained 6 seconds on max. if he had pitted when max did, he would have won.

[serene ridge]

If it wasn't for the bad start things would've been different

[hallow owl]

mclaren needs to just pit when max does or a lap or two later at most

[hallow owl]

true but the win was still salvageable and they fucked it with bad strategy

[proven leaf]

I mean the first pitstop wasnt a bad choice I mean yah a 1 or 2 lap earlier one could've helped ( ahead of Russel ) and well

Like the wdc said , If my mom has balls shed be my dad

[serene ridge]

Yeah. Overcut First Stop is kinda fire ngl

[hallow owl]

the first one was good cause the mediums ended up being way newer than most of the grid’s but the second one they should have not taken as big if a risk especially when they already took a risk for the first stop and it didnt necessarily pay off

[neat latch]

I find Perez beefing with Alpine extremely hilarious

[proven leaf]

But tbh mcl shouldn't have asked for the plan

Instead given orders

[hallow owl]

i find ferrari downfall even more hilarious

[hallow owl]

if lando gets past he would win he had more race pace he would have gapped max

he was simply the faster driver in spain his strategy just fucked him

and he needs to work on his starts

plus lando is a goat at wheel to wheel racing

[serene ridge]

If I was them I'd only pit Lando earlier in the 2nd stop. And even though overcut is actually good it would be better also of he pitted earlier there also.

[proven leaf]

I mean max was at a comfortable pace and waant really pushing to the max at the end

[hallow owl]

if lando acc had the opportunity to fight him he would have won had he passed max even once

look at the average lap times

mclaren had the fastest race pace

and max did push to the max when lando was bringing the gap down in the end

and all that resulted in was the gap stayin the same

[proven leaf]

I really don't think so

[hallow owl]

so max could only match lando’s pace at best

[proven leaf]

They had a big enough gap to win without pushing

[neat latch]

The Honda engine says otherwise https://x.com/autosport/status/1805557747183747551?t=4QeDPAmG-PT3jF_lmhStHw&s=19

[hallow owl]

did u watch the race redbull was telling him to push

[proven leaf]

Yes man , but pushing wasn't necessary is what I'm saying

[spare heart]

nope, i'm from the middle east, i'm arab

[serene ridge]

I think recently Max is vulnerable

[proven leaf]

But max wasn't using as much tyres as lando

[spare heart]

right now, max winning is out of his pure skill and not of the car, that's what makes him vulnerable

[proven leaf]

Brb gimme a few minutes

[spare heart]

but his skill is unmatched

so that's a good advantage that he has

[serene ridge]

He has kinda struggling at least under pressure in The last 3 races

[hallow owl]

the gap was coming doen from 8 seconds to 5 in like 4 laps, if he stayed at his cruising pace lando was gonna catch

he started pushing and could only keep the gap at 5.5-6 seconds

even then that was only for a few laps and then he has to push less because he had less tyres than lando due to the earlier stop

[neat latch]

This just tells me max is pushing everything possible he can inside that car

[hallow owl]

i think in austria and silverstone we’re gonna see lando v max on track action

[neat latch]

I damn hope so

[hallow owl]

also lando cooked russell in spain

like absolutely cooked tf out of him lmao

[neat latch]

Everyone forgot about that move lol

[proven leaf]

Maybe . Only the driver and the team know for sure lol

[serene ridge]

But Max is a beast he's locked in. Idk how he's doing it winning most of them, he's gifted. Some say “oh its the car” possibly his driving skill set played a role but like. Ik he's really fighting the car.

[spare heart]

i mean lando lowk has the best car on the grid so 🤷‍♀️

[neat latch]

That shit was crazy

[proven leaf]

He's one of the greatest of this decade

[hallow owl]

i love how yall say this just cause bros faster than mid leclerc and carmid sainz

id say RB-Merc-McL are pretty equal on race pace

its obv not the best car if his teammates doing P7 in it

[spare heart]

no? right now the ferraris have the 4th best car on the grid, and lookining into the car pace, it goes mcl > rb > merc > ferrari

[serene ridge]

Lando could've won 3 more races 🥲. But its ok he needs to learn on winning.

[proven leaf]

Goes to show how much of a beast max is

[spare heart]

and how's the redbull equal to the mcl then if perez can't fucking get out of q1 LMFAO man, no, what oscar did was simply a mistake

[jade mural]

Congrats @spare heart, you're now on lap 15

[hallow owl]

the cars are all within 5 tenths of each other on race pace, its pretty equal, the driver makes. a lot of the difference as we see with max and perez

[spare heart]

because last race oscar had a p2

[hallow owl]

last race oscar P5

andnin spain P7

[spare heart]

mb i meant monaco

[hallow owl]

and checo simply sucks

[serene ridge]

Oscar needs to be more consistent. I want this Aussie to win. Little to be said, he is catching up to Checo creeping

[hallow owl]

hes washed and is just tryna get more money out of RB before leaving

its not that he has the best car its that right now norris is the quickest driver behind verstappen

[spare heart]

not really, you could see that lando was getting really closer and he would've caught to max within a few more laps, the red bull car is simply not as great as we thought it was, and the mclaren car with the updates is also certainly not as 'average' as we had thought it was

[serene ridge]

I think no matter if you put (modern) riccardo or tsunoda in. Theyll struggle.

[hallow owl]

idk checo just sucks

his work ethic is terrible apparently too

[spare heart]

and the mercedes aren't equal to red bull nor the mclarens, they're slower than them, and then comes the ferraris

[hallow owl]

and he just doesnt care anymore

[serene ridge]

Ricciardo is past his peak, unfortunately. Tsunoda is doing really good but red bull ain't his future not alongside max

[serene ridge]

Unfortunately

[hallow owl]

so ferrari went from being the fastest team two races ago to being the 4th fastest now just because your two drivers are professional bottlejobs and would rather fight themselves and beef about it after than focus on fighting the cars ahead after an abysmal qualifying?

all cars are pretty equal

just look at the standings

it says enough

[serene ridge]

Bros stuck in 2023. He's not going to beat the others, unfortunately…

[hallow owl]

Q3 everyone was within 7 tenths of each other and thats counting the alpines too

the drivers make the differnce

its that simple

lando and max are currently the best drivers on the grid and thats why P1/P2 are gonna be them almost every race

[serene ridge]

He might finish 6th in the standings and if that costs Red Bull the championship…Hes going to be sent to Helmut Marko’s lion's den

[hallow owl]

helmut marko needs to take his dementia medication to even remember who checo is

that man needs to retire

[serene ridge]

Yeah he needs to

[spare heart]

yes, because within the last races the mclarens brought upgrades, the mercedes brought upgrades, the red bulls didn't (which were previously the fastest car on the grid, but now that they aren't improving their car and the others are they're not as great anymore) and the ferraris haven't either. also nobody has said that the ferraris had the greatest car on the grid EVER. in the start of the season it was rb > ferrari > mcl
now after the upgrades its mcl > rb > merc > ferrari

[hallow owl]

mclaren brought no upgrades for spain brother

go to the fia’s instagram they posted who brought upgrades

merc and mclaren brought no upgrades

[spare heart]

bro? can you read what i said? i said 'the last races' RACES in plural, i haven't said only in spain i said the last RACES

[hallow owl]

they lit did a minimal upgrade in canada

[serene ridge]

I thought McLaren was going to struggle in Spain. That's until Lando proceeds to get pole

[hallow owl]

the mclaren representative said mclaren no longer needs big upgrade packages because the car has no inherent weaknesses anymore

theres no specific area they need to focus on

now its pure performance focus

[spare heart]

exactly, because they're literally the best car on the grid right now there's no need for any upgrades man

[serene ridge]

Valid

[hallow owl]

no we’re just finally at the stage redbull has been at for the past two years lmao

[serene ridge]

Now they need to make innovations 😈

[hallow owl]

i love how people think redbull isn’t the fastest anymore just cause its not a ferrari fighting them, when its any other team besides merc or ferrari fighting them then suddenly its all about the car

[spare heart]

man, red bull has been clearly struggling with car pace against the mclarens and the mercedes, the only reason max is still winning is simply because he's a beast

[spare heart]

have i mentioned ferrari in this conversation other than that they are now the 2nd best car on the grid?

the reason i'm saying that red bull isn't the fastest anymore HAS NOTHING to do with the ferraris lmfao

[hallow owl]

red null is still the fastest

[spare heart]

(also the only reason i care about ferrari is 'cause i'm a sainz fan, genuinely, next year i don't think i'll care as much. i just love sainz)

[serene ridge]

20 years from now we Will see him as a legend just like Hamilton, Schumacher and Senna. Just by what he did.

[tacit hare]

mclaren is

[spare heart]

%100, i hate it when people are mad that he wins another race, now winning the races is our of pure skill and not just the car

[tacit hare]

mclaren cooked with wtver the fuck they did with recent upgrades

[spare heart]

he can also feel it himself, now he feels much better after winning a race, you can feel him actually happy when celebrating and also he jumps on the team

[spare heart]

EXACTLY what i'm saying

[tacit hare]

fastest cars are now mclaren rb and i wanna say ferrari but strategy always fucks them up

[spare heart]

ferrari has been lacking car pace, charles and carlos have been saying that after every race, they need to fix that

[serene ridge]

Hes plot armor. Talented. Gifted. Locked In. Now its just the Rest of the drivers need to get in his level. Thats how it goes in Formula 1

[tacit hare]

lec win in monaco and the team in shambles thereafter

[serene ridge]

He might win his 4th title but i know everytime lando wins and he catch up to max ill set up my delusions.

[spare heart]

yup

[hallow owl]

mclaren and redbull are pretty equal imo, redbull just only has one good driver, ferrari and merc join the fight occasionally but the gaps in performance between the teams are so marginal that its basically the driver making the difference atp

[serene ridge]

Ricksf1addiction wtf did you do to them

[tacit hare]

it’s the engineers and strategists too

[spare heart]

man, i'll explain how it is with the mclarens and the red bulls
the mclarens have a great driver (lando) in a wonderful car (mcl)
the red bulls have a wonder ful driver (max) in a great car (rb)

[spare heart]

LMFAOOOOO

[tacit hare]

what i don’t get is lando getting dotd all the time even if he can demonstrate better ability with zaks cooking

[hallow owl]

bruh redbull is on par with mclaren car wise lmao

its a rocketship designed by newey

[spare heart]

FR

[tacit hare]

it’s faltering behind the mcl

[hallow owl]

they’re pretty much on par

[spare heart]

a rocketship that hasn't been upgraded since god knows how long bro, the mclarens did an upgrade that exceeds that rocketship made by newey

[hallow owl]

since spain?

they brought two upgrades in spain

[spare heart]

and even with these two upgrades, they're still faltering behind the mclaren's upgrades, because the mclaren's upgrades were too good the teams are trying as hard as they can to catch up

[hallow owl]

its not that RB is falling behind its that other teams have finally matched them car wise so now its all up to the drivers

[slim chasm]

it's not an upgrade, just circuit adjustment

the upgrade will come later

[hallow owl]

well ferrari brought 6 upgrades and became slower so upgrades ≠ pace

[chilly parcel]

Just saw what Lando said post race. I love the guy for owning up to just not driving as well as Max

[tacit hare]

aston

[hallow owl]

VCARB also brought upgrades and became slower they had an abysmal race

[tacit hare]

they didn’t bring upgrades

[chilly parcel]

Also the gap between them is about the same as their pit time gap. Max’s win was a true team effort with near perfect execution

[spare heart]

upgrades should definitely help the car pace it's just that the ferraris have no fucking idea what theyre doing the last 2 races

[tacit hare]

they brought an entirely new b spec car

[chilly parcel]

You mean downgrades lol

[hallow owl]

you mean the last decade

[hallow owl]

yea lmao

more accurate

[spare heart]

this season they were doing great tbh, all until the last races

[spare heart]

if they get their shit together, improve the car pace once again, then the constructers will be ferrari's

[serene ridge]

Honestly. I mean its great an all hehehehehe,freakmula1 but that is true. Lando did bottle the race.I think the fans want him as DOTD becuase of an act that he deserves the win when its clear what happened. If it was one person who deserved dotd in that Race Id Say Hamilton just because he finally got a podium after a horrid start of the season.

[slim chasm]

precisely, circuit adjustment

[chilly parcel]

Did you see post race with Ricciardo and Yuki?

[serene ridge]

What happened

[slim chasm]

I mean else teams would have "upgrades" at 20 races or so

[chilly parcel]

Yuki was like “car sucked and we need to review” Ricciardo was like “I raced well and beat Yuki so I think I did fine”

[hallow owl]

oh lmao i thought you meant circuits as in electronic circuit not circuit as in track lmao

[slim chasm]

lmao

it do happen

[chilly parcel]

I just really hate Ricciardo’s faux nice guy act at this point. He just had a resting smiling face but he’s been a whiny baby for years

[hallow owl]

dannyric has a tendency of getting cooked by younger teammates

[spare heart]

either lewis or max deserved DOTD

[hallow owl]

he is a marketing genius that smile landed him that seat

lmao

[serene ridge]

Indeed either the two.

[chilly parcel]

Max. Lewis had a bad start

[hallow owl]

max deserved it 100%

[spare heart]

yeah max

[hallow owl]

but i dont mind lando getting it

[spare heart]

lando himself wasn't happy with his performance that race

[hallow owl]

its always funny seeing ppl cry ab it when in reality its just fangirls who find him cute voting for him

[chilly parcel]

This. Lando can grow still though. Max is the complete product now

[serene ridge]

True its not DOTD worthy

[spare heart]

fr

[tacit hare]

basically ferrari for yea the last decade
win a race -> absolute shambles -> spare of luck win another -> entire pit wall drinks the clownade

[serene ridge]

Now if it was lando recovering for his win. Hell yeah.

[chilly parcel]

Lando hasn’t had a lot of chances to launch from the front row. Occasional mistakes are expected

[chilly parcel]

I mean if Max and RBR pit crew weren’t perfect, Lando could have on

[serene ridge]

Lando recovering for 2nd after getting pole id look at how other drivers are doing.

[chilly parcel]

That there was an air of inevitability as soon as Max got clean air really tells you how good Max is

[tacit hare]

max will be done with f1 before his contract over unless he wants to beat hamilton

[slim chasm]

if grandma bicycle

[serene ridge]

That is impossible to have becusse the RedBull Pitcrew always cook something

[chilly parcel]

The total time gap between the two stops were like 2 seconds

[serene ridge]

I got a question

Is K-Mag Racing

[slim chasm]

yes

[chilly parcel]

The RBR pit crew is crazy

[serene ridge]

So that means FIA is kinda scared

[narrow garnet]

of which most of it was circuit related as per the FIA's documents

[serene ridge]

Max might have to go 100% next race

[slim chasm]

they always are

[chilly parcel]

It just occurred to me Lando may want to spend more time in iRacing practicing launch from the front row

[serene ridge]

If K-Mag played Glass Floor from Squid Game. Hed Win. Thats what reminds me. Getting a penalty with 10 license points without getting a race ban is blind luck

[chilly parcel]

I kind of hope a freak accident takes Max out for a weekend

Something like his plane gets diverted by Russian mafia with money on Ferrari next weekend

[hallow owl]

nah too far fr

just say engine failure or sum bro not a whole ass accident

even then i want lando to win with max on track

[chilly parcel]

Okay his daughter catches the flu and he decides to stay with her

[serene ridge]

No.

Especially as a Lando Fan

[slim chasm]

<@&781898349006684170> not even FP yet smh

[hallow owl]

would make more sense if bro had a daughter

[serene ridge]

Lando Needs to learn hes training

[chilly parcel]

Sigh. I m saying he’s going to win

[serene ridge]

Like Zoro witb Mihawk

[serene ridge]

Dont hope him or dying or his daughter sick. That isnt a real F1 Fan would do

[spare heart]

@hallow owl even the formula 1 account agrees that the mcls have the best car as of the moment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh7p__2x8-0&ab_channel=FORMULA1

[narrow garnet]

it's clear Max is the difference maker in F1 right now

his ability is just out of this world

[serene ridge]

Yeah

I want Lando to be like max. So the only way is learn from him.

[remote knoll]

Sergio Perez has shown the true pace of the RedBull the whole time 🤯

actual pace*

[serene ridge]

So that way he can win many titles. 😈

I see it as a Motivation for Him

[narrow garnet]

I think Marc Priestly put it best, McLaren still need to learn to win

[slim chasm]

yes, Max is winning with the 4th best car, my goat

[serene ridge]

No more being in 2nd place

I kinda want to make a drawing of Max vs Lando now.

[soft mason]

his photographers are good

Indeed

[serene ridge]

This aint evil max. This is max locked in. He drives like a lion

[gentle dust]

max knows the consequences of losing, if you dont wanna lose get a scary dad fr fr

If Max is an Anime Character. Id wouldnt be convinced. Because he already is one

[eager prairie]

mclaren gonna be in max’s nightmares fr

[serene ridge]

Possibly

[eager prairie]

lando or max for Austria?

[remote knoll]

I hope neither win

Piastri win

[eager prairie]

but that is not the case unfortunately 😔

[remote knoll]

it is the case

[serene ridge]

I dont wanna jinx lando but 👀 i mean ofc him. But honesty i want to see a 1v1 fight of lando vs max. It might not happen if Max will get a 10 place grid penalty and the car is not from 2022 or 2023 unless a Saftey car happen.

[serene ridge]

If he wins that would be amazing. He needs to.

[eager prairie]

yea pretty much going with lando with this weekend, unless max pulls a main character move and pushes Lando’s car into the barriers using telekinesis

[remote knoll]

that would be such a max thing to do

[eager prairie]

he will win one day

Red Bull Ring will end in a Max win, if Norris wins on Red Bull home then Max will win Silverstone just to deny the McLaren home win

who will in at austria?

i think it'd be norris if wont make mistake

[rustic compass]

yeah

[rustic compass]

Norris

[cyan saffron]

Charles

[rustic compass]

He's up there in the fight

spain was kinda bad for Ferrari

[torn eagle]

I was watching when verstappen did his 2nd stop then had to go into a car, 5 mins later i turn mobile data on and verstappen leads by 5 seconds, how did he gain 3 deconds that quickly?

[rustic compass]

norris pitted

I think

[dusty lion]

piastri got so overhyped after qatar

he went from underrated to overrated

[hallow owl]

i disagree qatar was just a wonderful weekend

[cyan saffron]

Recency bias goes crazy once again.

[hallow owl]

wdym

there’s no recency bias for oscar he has been consistent point scorer ever since he was given a point scoring car

[cyan saffron]

That Oscar is "overrated" just because he had 1 bad race.

[hallow owl]

oh yea

it does show he is pretty far from norris on race pace tho

quali wise i think oscar will be better when he gains experience

[cyan saffron]

Yeah, tire management is what he needs to improve on.

But that will come with time.

[sly badger]

Piastri is just in the same situation as 2019 Norris

He's still a fresh driver racing against a experienced driver as a teammate

Norris literally has the same amount of seasons Sainz had when he debutted with him at McLaren back in 2019

Sooner or later, with McLaren improving at a great rate, Piastri might start catching up

[cyan saffron]

yeah

And then Oscar will be on the same level Lando was against Carlos.

[sly badger]

And then, Oscar had Miami as his worst result this season

[cyan saffron]

yeah

And even that result hasn't matched his actual performance.

[still forge]

Miami could be a P4, really

[nova kindle]

can't wait for charles p1 this weekend

[ornate gate]

Delusion

[cyan saffron]
