monaco-gp

[slim chasm]

cause Sainz isn't good enough for them to change their priorities

[proven leaf]

Verstappen

He doesn't want someone challenging him

Or more so

Their dads

Redbull doesn't want torro rosso part 2

[thin berry]

Lmao what

Max absolutely wants to be challenged

Redbull just doesn’t want two helicopter dads in their garage

[craggy zenith]

Red Bull already had enough issues with Sainz being Verstappen's teammate at Toro Rosso

and Red Bull realisitcally doesn't want someone who will be a threat to Verstappen, they want a driver who will score consistant points and help be a rear gunner to Max

[thin berry]

And Sainz is good but not THAT good to be worth the trouble + they already have their champion with Max anyway

[sterile acorn]

ohh thank you so much :)

[craggy zenith]

in that vein, it sounds more likely it will be Ricciardo who will be placed in the Red Bull; Red Bull doesn't have faith in Tsunoda being consistant enough and being a team player with Max

Lawson would just be asking for an even less experienced version of Albon at Red Bull

and while Daniel has lost his consistancy and outright pace, there seems to be the belief he won't do what Perez has been doing, along with the fact Daniel is better suited to the handling charateristics of the Red Bull

[thorn compass]

RAWE CEEK!!!

[cosmic vapor]

ricciardo is less of a wild card than tsunoda too

what redbull want is a consistent known variable not a crazy unknown variable

that’s what will help them win the constructors

daniel

danny :3

[gritty geode]

checo is consistent redbull just didnt tell him what to be consistent in

so now he is almost always out in Q1

[slim chasm]

Danny still has the pace, but it's increasingly clear that he's a one trick pony

[craggy zenith]

I don't get his argument that he performs really well in race winning cars and can't unlock all his performance in midfield cars

Because then what exactly would you call his Renault performances?

I'm getting more of a feeling that the modern ground effect cars don't suit Daniel very well

Even that first year at McLaren, in the second half of the season he was getting fairly okay results

[slim chasm]

yeah Danny got 5th in the Renault, he's good

but he can't adapt well

maybe he won't be his 2018 peak, but I don't think he's gonna be a downgrade to Perez

[craggy zenith]

He was very nearly 4th in 2020; Checo's win gave him enough points

While I feel Yuki should at least be given a shot, from red bull's point of view they're still likely taking into account his performance at Silverstone last year in the red Bull and questioning can they still unlock something in him

And even if not, he's a safe set of hands that is only behind Yuki by a few tenths; a decent amount of his bad results come more from the team being useless at strategy

[slim chasm]

Yuki unfortunately, still is prone to outburst, unfortunate

[craggy zenith]

And then there are factors like China, the bad clutch in Canada, having to replace whole components of the engine in Silverstone

[slim chasm]

and being 2nd to Max would be immensely stressful

[craggy zenith]

Bahrain has basically guaranteed he won't get that seat

An outburst like that over team orders for 12th place

[slim chasm]

also, when Danny Ric got his groove, Yuki can't touch him. Mexico, Miami sprint, Canada

[craggy zenith]

Now imagine him being on the podium or in the lead

[slim chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/anger-inside-out-mad-what-why-gif-16558162

[craggy zenith]

While I think someone like Salo shouldn't have given up a win for Irvine, in the grand scheme of things disobeying team orders in a title fight you're not in basically ends your drive then and there

I don't think Red Bull wants to take the risk of putting Yuki in a good position and then having him disobey team orders and have his usual outbursts

Also Yuki has been the one scoring good points for VCARB and if you take him out, you leave VCARB exposed to the other teams

[slim chasm]

then bombing his way to a streak of bad performance like in 2020 and 2021

bless Yuki but he needs a bit more maturing

[craggy zenith]

I think he should've jumped when he had the chance

[cosmic vapor]

yuki couldnt stand being diffed by max daily

[craggy zenith]

No future at Red Bull and Honda are leaving after 2025 (from red Bull)

[cosmic vapor]

yuki should have bailed for another team

[slim chasm]

yeah well, we don't know the terms of the other teams

[cosmic vapor]

so should albon

albon should have gone to a good team where he can actually show his talen

sigh

[slim chasm]

getting stuck in backmarker hell for years won't be good as well

in RB, at least you're in the spotlight

[craggy zenith]

Apparently red Bull were the ones to trigger an option for 2025 to prevent him leaving

[slim chasm]

they did, yes

but it can be negotiated like Gasly

[craggy zenith]

Presumably

Assuming teams want him

[slim chasm]

yeah that is the problem

[cosmic vapor]

albon to merc

[craggy zenith]

But other than Aston I've never heard any other teams publicly persuing him

[cosmic vapor]

would have been so good

[slim chasm]

"interests" from other teams ranges from "nice to have" to "I really want him"

[cosmic vapor]

imagine albon and russel cooking in the merc in 25

[slim chasm]

Audi is inquiring everyone and their mother lol

[craggy zenith]

The problem always was that Williams had an option on him

[slim chasm]

and Merc is not interested enough to buy him out

plus Ocon is a free agent

[craggy zenith]

And even if Merc paid them a ton, they were not going to let go of their wonder driver

[slim chasm]

if they want a midfield driver, they got Ocon

Albon is not an upgrade to that

[craggy zenith]

He's backed by toto anyway

But they won't want both Russell and Ocon in the same team

[slim chasm]

Toto collecting drivers like pokemons

[craggy zenith]

They already both have issues with other drivers on track

[slim chasm]

but he used Merc money instead of his own lmao

[craggy zenith]

Ocon's apparently already signed with Haas

So he's likely off the market

Nothing official of course

[slim chasm]

F1 and last second decision

[craggy zenith]

But everything seems to point that way

[slim chasm]

if Toto changes his mind about Kimi, Ocon getting 1+1 isn't out of the question surely

it's Ocon's one shot at the top

[craggy zenith]

Which leaves Alpine, Williams and Audi as the only open seats in reality

Merc is there

But I think Mercedes has to lose hope in Antonelli hitting the ground running

Obviously his performances in F2 aren't great, but neither is Prema right now

[slim chasm]

I doubt they ever thought that

the Merc car being competitive otoh

you won't want to waste points

when they were a distant 4th sure, but fighting wins rn?

[craggy zenith]

Yeah I guess that makes the difference

Different when Max joined red Bull when the car was still off fighting at the front consistently

Talking about maybe being in the title fight next year, do you really want to throw a 18 year old into the car?

The only really decent drivers left are Ocon maybe and Sainz

[slim chasm]

yeah no chance

if I'm Toto, I'm def sticking Ocon in and hijack the Haas deal

get Kimi a year or two of testing

[craggy zenith]

Haas still has more options open anyway

[slim chasm]

Sainz prob won't be as flexible in demands anyway

[craggy zenith]

Throw in Bottas for a season alongside Bearman

[slim chasm]

Haas can still get Kmag anyway

he's a.... benchmark

of sorts

lmao

[craggy zenith]

Yeah they could keep Kmag

If they're really desperate

[slim chasm]

Bottas for 2-3 years isn't a bad idea as well

[craggy zenith]

He's doing the best he can in a shitbox

[slim chasm]

he's as good as Hulk can be I'm sure

[craggy zenith]

Better than Zhou at least

I mean start of 22 was mega

It's just the car has been garbage since then

[unborn folio]

we all up for a Lance stroll win?

[wet sequoia]

Only Stroll news I’m up for is a boot from F1

[wooden kettle]

lance stroll goes to vote call that a lance poll
lance stroll has a blemish on his face call that a lance mole
lance stroll gets a part in a play call that a lance role
lance stroll strives to do something in the future call that a lance goal
lance stroll digs with a shovel call that a lance hole

[cosmic vapor]

is there any chance that ferrari does well

[craggy zenith]

If that means he immediately retires from F1 the second he steps off the podium

Yes

[remote knoll]

Surely Lance Stroll isn't that bad

[compact cove]

Help what is this absolute brilliance 😂

[wooden kettle]

its a word game my friends and i play all the time, so ive gotten kinda good at it

the longest we've been on one word rhyme is an hour lol

[compact cove]

Very noice. Youve blessed my eyes

Dang an hour

[wooden kettle]

yeah it was a text chat so obs some minutes in between messages but it's quite a fun game

[sand compass]

lance stroll has the same pole to win ratio as lando norris

[remote knoll]

hello lnacelot

[unborn folio]

surely but i dont see lance go away any soon. Max might retire before lance leaves f1

not that hard if your dad owns a f1 team

[covert verge]

Yep he's there till his dad sells the team

[main anchor]

Max won't retire lmao

[slim chasm]

He's not gonna race forever like Alonso lmao

[jade mural]

Congrats @slim chasm, you're now on lap 70

[main anchor]

If he will win next year, he will want to do it again

I don't see the reason for him to leave

[slim chasm]

yeah, but not forever

[main anchor]

He won't get more money somewhere else

[slim chasm]

as if Max is motivated by money

[covert verge]

He's made his money already

[main anchor]

Time for project verstappen

[sonic stratus]

I kinda would love to see verstappen beat the win record before retiring

[stoic sentinel]

what’s the current win record

[snow swan]

Held by Hamilton I think

Yeah 104 wins

he has 61

[cosmic vapor]

oh hes beating that shit in no time

by 27 28

[snow swan]

true

someone's gonna stop him.

[cosmic vapor]

praying leclerc but probably not

[pure aurora]

Nope

[wooden kettle]

ricc?

look even if you hate the guy checo is kinda bombing it

[pure aurora]

kinda? bros q1 exits 💀

[wooden kettle]

im trying to be nice!!

💀

[pure aurora]

lmao

[unreal folio]

real

[unborn folio]

true

for max racing other series is more important after 2-3 years

he said he wont waste his youth only racing in f1

[unborn folio]

give my boy Logan Sargent the rb and watch his outlap everyone

[pure aurora]

fr

[unborn folio]

he gonna bring freedom on the grid

[craggy zenith]

yeah next year, everything points to the Red Bull engine project struggling at the moment

meaning that guarantee of being able to fight for the title could very well not happen after 2026, and Max only has a contract until 2028

[main anchor]

Jeremy Clarkson will develop

New engine

[zinc saffron]

he dont want to stay forever like lonso, he will gonna switch to other motorsports

[main anchor]

Where is the info coming from

Max don't know what he is saying

[zinc saffron]

max..

[main anchor]

He is complaining about everything while P1

And you think he is gonna retire the car

But he keeps driving

[zinc saffron]

*himself

[main anchor]

I wouldn't rely on Max

If he wins next year, he is staying for sure

If he loses, that's another question

He is just saying anything at this point

[toxic atlas]

I dont think Max is going to let his future judgment be clouded by something like performance in a different set of regulations

2026 is a whole new playing field with RBPT

[zinc saffron]

he have said this a while back... he loves racing as a whole and dont see the points in stats.
once he will feel f1 isnt fun anymore, he will leave.

[main anchor]

And that will be when he stops winning

[zinc saffron]

for now he will... but not past 30

[main anchor]

The fun just started

[proven leaf]

Yeah the above statement is what I meant

[pure aurora]

it makes me so happy to hear this

go riccardo

[wet sequoia]

Riccardo does have some flashes of brilliant driving like qualifying in Mexico or Miami sprint but still not consistent. If he had a better race car and finds that consistent race pace to qualifying P4 then yeah he’s the best choice (Also chemistry with Verstappen)

Tsunoda is consistent but he’s scrapping up points more then scoring alot, he really is used as a benchmark in RB and to keep Honda happy

[pure aurora]

and honda kinda fucked over RB so hes getting the boot in 2026 I assume

also riccardo has such great PR with RB

[wet sequoia]

How did Honda fuck over RB?

[languid light]

which rb?

Oracle Red Bull Racing or Visa Cashapp RB Formula 1 Team?

[coarse obsidian]

See how this fucking confusing it is when the second team (shouldn't exist IMO) names themselves almost exactly as the primary.

[lyric rover]

Bruh it’s RB

How can you not tell, Red Bull Racing is Red Bull Racing and RB (commonly known as VCARB) is RB

[coarse obsidian]

For years to shorten Red Bull Racing it was RB until "they" decided to call Torro Rosso/Alpha Tauri to Visa Cashapp RB Formula 1 Team.

[crude flame]

They do not even want to be called RB

And gave F1 a whopping for referring to them as RB

They want to be referred to as VCARB only

RB is not even technically an official abbreviation

Just based on speculation really

[coarse obsidian]

I'm talking about this server

[crude flame]

Yes

We should also probably refer to them as VCARB and not RB

[stiff bough]

yes

[coarse obsidian]

Maybe the mods can send a message to all about this using (at) everyone

[crude flame]

No it should just be common sense that you cannot use RB and RB for two different thingsd and assume people will always know which one you mean

Therefore you should specify by using VCARB or RB depending on what you are talking about

[coarse obsidian]

Common sense among "82727" users in this server?!

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-laughing-hysterically-gif-26398146

[crude flame]

I know that is a lot to ask for

[south heron]

bro there was a team in 2019-2020 called Racing?!??!?!!?!?!?!!?

can't beleve it

[stoic sentinel]

Proof? Bc that’d be funny

[stoic sentinel]

gawd another blue team

[south heron]

being serious I did like the name but hated how they branded it

[stoic sentinel]

how many godamn blue teams

[south heron]

idk but having the "point" be represented by a circle was stupid

[stoic sentinel]

so BWT is still there as alpine

[south heron]

they are yeah

[snow swan]

Yuki gonna win the Hungarian GP 😎

will we see Verstappen pull off his 360 signature move in Hungry?

[wet sequoia]

No

[buoyant cradle]

perchance

[mortal canopy]

You just can't say perchance bish 😭

Poignant

[tender spoke]

ya guys think leclerc will score points this weekend, crazy that hulk in a haas has outscored him in the last two weekends combined 😭

[mortal canopy]

The Ferrari gonna be good this weekend

They will be using their upgrades

The upgrades are bad in high speed corners, Hungary does not have many of that so they be using the upgrades

[snow swan]

Will it be good, or will it fail?

[mortal canopy]

Maybe goos

Good

But they gonna he very bad at Belgium if they don't figure out to fix their upgrades

[wet sequoia]

Imola is done

Monza is after Hungary

[mortal canopy]

Sorry brain fart

I meant Belgium

[cosmic vapor]

sigh

[cosmic vapor]

fixes coming apparently for spa

[cosmic vapor]

its not enough to make the top 5 though

fuckin hell

[mortal canopy]

Yeah maybe

Can't say anything

If merc are good then they wouldn't be in the top 5

[cosmic vapor]

and aston bringing upgrades too

i would actually not be surprised of ferrari are the fifth fastest lol

[spare heart]

we're so cooked

[cosmic vapor]

maybe ferrari can bring new suspension over summer break

whatever the other teams are running

[cosmic vapor]

any hope for leclerc

[still forge]

Nope

[snow swan]

next year if he takes Perez' seat

[daring fox]

Hi guys anyone know where can i sell my f1 ticket? Its digital and its for hungerian grand prix

[glossy crown]

why would he leave ferrari

[cinder star]

McLaren 1-2 ez

[spare heart]

i think being ferrari's main driver is better than red bull's second driver
ferrari obviously is shit rn but they prioritize their main driver asf whilst red bull's car is made for max verstappen solely so being prioritized in a team that is worse might be a bit better than being in a car that's better for your teammate and not you

also charles is competitive as fuck i don't think he'll do good as a 2nd driver for red bull that's not an option at all for him lmfao

[analog stag]

How much

[snow swan]

he isnt happy there. He always looks depressed. He needs a change to get his spark back. There are reasons for him to leave.

[fast fable]

Leclerc to Ferrari is same as Lando to McLaren.
Both want their championship with their current team.
So, not happening anytime soon.

[snow swan]

people always say that. Not going to happen. If we what was going to happen in sports it would be a whole lot less fun.

people swore lewis leaving merc was impossible for a long time too. Now people like to pretend like it makes all the sense in the world.

[snow swan]

He is at risk of becoming the 2nd driver at ferrari next year anyway. Just because that car is made for max doesnt mean chuck cant do well. Beating max in his own team has its own set of challenges.

[quaint kite]

Max himself has been quoted as saying that the car isn't designed around him.

Just because Max likes a car that is pointy and slightly unstable doesn't mean that red bull are intentionally going to build a car exclusively to that standard

[stiff bough]

It doesn't really benefit anyone.

[quaint kite]

I don't get this narrative that red bull is designing cars exclusively for Max. Max is just an alien

[stiff bough]

Well, easy for that narrative to get out of hand when he's only ever had one competent teammate at that team since he joined.

[quaint kite]

That's true. But even then, the man took an unfamiliar-to-him car and won the FIRST race he drove it in.

Was that car designed for him

[stiff bough]

Yes

[cosmic vapor]

leclerc is ferrari bruh

[snow swan]

leclerc has chronic depression wherever he goes

[cosmic vapor]

the whole point of leclerc's popularity is that he is the predestined savior of ferrari

[snow swan]

mostly at ferrari

[cosmic vapor]

yeah yeah

he got a dog hes fine

[snow swan]

hamilton ferrari😬

[snow swan]

that might be why his popularity is dropping this year. Since it seems like he is not.

[snow swan]

That is probably why they are giving perez a chance. Since has been the only competent teammate Max has had.

[thorn herald]

Is Perez really doing better than Albon or Gasly?

[proud fable]

Put Logan Sargent in dat red bull car 🤠🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅

[simple anchor]

Maybe he’d actually win😭

[snow swan]

he got 2nd place last year and helped max win the title in 2021.

[raven wagon]

Daniel Riccardo exists

[snow swan]

whats your point?

[raven wagon]

Checo was not the only competent teammate Max ever had in Redbull

Thats my point

Plus Checo sucks ass rn

Best finish of like P7 in recent races

Poor qualis

[snow swan]

He cracked and destroyed his f1 career. the only thing keeping him alive is DTS popularity

[raven wagon]

Nowhere near the top 5

Rn Checo is performing worse than Albon and Gasly during their respective Redbull stints

[snow swan]

dont get me started on albon. Guy sticks it into the wall every other race

[cosmic vapor]

oh ma gawd bruh

[thorn herald]

How’s he doing this year?

[granite hull]

not as well...

something along the lines of 6th and 118 points

[slim chasm]

doesn't mean he's better than Albon or Gasly

just that the car is

[ornate gate]

All I remember from the last two Hungarian GPs was Max spinning and still winning by like 30 seconds

this is literally perfect for ferrari

no need to struggle in quali with firing up tires

low-medium speed corner monaco like track

then they'll melt it on the race lol

What I would give for that weather.

norris dnf again? :D

can mclaren handle the hot track surface?

I think he is going down the leclerc path. He will fight lewis and we will see what happens

[pearl shale]

wdym down the leclerc path?

[jade mural]

Congrats @pearl shale, you're now on lap 5

[pearl bear]

pain and disappointment

[pearl shale]

that is to be expected when you get a whiff of ambition and keep getting P2

pretty much the same thing happened to checo few years back, no? when he started sayin he can beat max and fight for world champion

[still forge]

For that to happen McLaren needs to get the Ferrari™️ Upgrades

[snow swan]

They both tend to get inside of their own heads and their performance dips.

[snow swan]

There is more to leclerc's dip in performance than just the car.

[stiff bough]

there is the bad strategies as well

[snow swan]

there are but it is also affect him in quali too.

Ya but your drivers got fucked up 4 race weekend in a row

he's gonna run out of seats

he already has

hes mediocre compared to alot of other drivers that could have that seat

unless he wants a 2(1) year contract then hes outta luck for both rb and merc

[thin berry]

Yeah but McLaren fucked both their drivers AND their motorhome 2 weeks in a row so it’s at the very minimum samesies

[wet sequoia]

Toto is less stubborn and more concerned with not making the same mistake again like he did with Verstappen

Sainz is to stubborn to take the one year from Mercedes

[frozen glade]

Kimi should go to Williams for a year while Carlos goes to Merc then in 2026 Carlos goes to Audi and Kimi moves up. Gives Carlos a seat and Kimi time to prep

[hushed olive]

Ferrari 2022🤝 Mclaren 2024

both being absolute bottlers

[tranquil dragon]

williams is tired of being merc's repository

[frozen glade]

Ya, Merc benefits but Williams never does

[tranquil dragon]

carlos wont go with sauber considering their season this year and with his stubbornness like cloud said

[slim chasm]

and why would Carlos, Williams and Audi accept that lmao

[thin berry]

And Sainz doesn’t want a 1 year contact and seems to reject the idea of signing with a backmarker team except unfortunate that’s all there is for him atp

[slim chasm]

what's in it for them

[tranquil dragon]

a former race winner

but theyve had former and current race winners

and even they couldnt fix williams

so basically nothing

[slim chasm]

that clearly doesn't view them as a real F1 team

even Williams has bigger respect than that

[tranquil dragon]

just another merc prospect that they will steal

[frozen glade]

Carlos gets a drive, Audi gets a competent driver and we’ll forget abt Williams

[slim chasm]

Audi gets a driver that doesn't want them

[tranquil dragon]

so whats in it for williams

[slim chasm]

sounds like a shit deal lmao

[hushed olive]

mclaren has bottled 4 wins

[slim chasm]

and Carlos is stuck in seat that he doesn't want

[tranquil dragon]

right now sainz is out of luck if he doesnt choose a good contract with a backmarker

[frozen glade]

Did he say he didn’t want it

[tranquil dragon]

and by good i mean good for the team, not sainz

hes in a middle area

he hasnt proven himself/theres no seat for him in the top teams

and hes too cocky/good for the backmarkers

[slim chasm]

he got an offer since 4 months ago and has shown no indication to accept it

Audi is like the spare tire lol

[tranquil dragon]

hes waiting too long, i wouldnt be shocked if he dont see "sainz" in the tower next year

i mean so much just came crumbling for him

his fake friendship with leclerc

his ride

[hushed olive]

imagine for 2026 audi being a new brawn gp and teams like rb,merc,ferrari and mclaren are midfielders

[tranquil dragon]

literally everything

and hes testing his luck way too hard

[frozen glade]

He hasn’t shown indications to accept any contract

[tranquil dragon]

that would be absolutely insane

[hushed olive]

something simillar happened in 2009

[slim chasm]

correct, that's why it's a shit deal lmao

[tranquil dragon]

oh really?

[slim chasm]

and why Sainz would be left behind

[tranquil dragon]

thats actually so crazy

[hushed olive]

mclaren,ferrari and bmw sauber which were the best teams in 2008 did kinda bad in 2009

[frozen glade]

Ya but it would give everyone a drive and driver

[tranquil dragon]

bmw??? did they not cut off their sauber deal in 06?

[tranquil dragon]

formula one: its a business, not a pitty party

[slim chasm]

nah, Audi would not have an empty seat in 2026

they would sign someone this year and be multi year

[wet sequoia]

Norris bottled one, safety car bottles another, McLaren/Norris combined bottle the other 2

[tranquil dragon]

they all have prospects and if one doesnt take any offer they WILL be left behind

[slim chasm]

and Sainz is not good enough for them to cut someone out

[frozen glade]

Yes, each team would get a competent driver eventually

[tranquil dragon]

the only people id cut out for sainz would be #3 #2 and #24

[hushed olive]

norris bottled austria safety car bottled canada mclaren and norris combined bottled spain and silverstone

[slim chasm]

who's two again

[tranquil dragon]

america

[slim chasm]

damn

[tranquil dragon]

i love logan but hes just

logan

[wet sequoia]

Verstappen being arrogant cost Austria, Norris bottled Imola by making mistakes while catching Verstappen

[tranquil dragon]

they could have that all now, they wouldnt need sainz

[hushed olive]

i forgot about imola

[slim chasm]

it's called motor racing

[tranquil dragon]

i slept through imola lol

seems i didnt miss much

[hushed olive]

then we have 5 bottled wins cuz lando wouldnt have won austria anyways without the crash cuz he had a penalty for going several times off track

i forgot about imola

[wet sequoia]

Yeah, Imola was the last 5 laps and the rest was a snooze

[tranquil dragon]

i fell asleep halfway through barcelona so

[wet sequoia]

FIA should have given the penalty for moving under braking

[hushed olive]

spain wasnt that bad tbh the 2023 race was worse

[wet sequoia]

Hoping they don’t flip a coin when issuing penalties next year

[tranquil dragon]

FIA r so inconsistant you cant even

first off they kept michael masi through 2021

that was a huge mistake and came back to bite them

with so many bad calls

then 2022 came along

and they got abit better

[slim chasm]

well, the rule allows that

[hushed olive]

masi> the new race directors idk their names

[slim chasm]

why would they give a penalty for it

[tranquil dragon]

fyi im not just talking about AD21 i dont care, i think it was stolen but max was a worthy winner and im so happy he won it

[slim chasm]

justice for Silverstone and Hungary

[tranquil dragon]

literally

the calls were

oh my days

hamilton missed a couple penalties

verstappen missed a couple

it was insane

not in silverstone but

[slim chasm]

yeah it evens out in the end

[hushed olive]

suzuka 2022,usa 2022,jeddah 2023,australia 2023,spain 2023,austria 2023 qualy,qatar 2023,Australia 2024 perferct examples of fia inconsistency

[tranquil dragon]

imo it shouldnt have evened out in the way it did per FIA regs but it did, and shit happens and u cant change that

i dont agree lewis tried to unalive max at silverstone but i do agree he sohuld have gotten a HUGE penalty for it

[tranquil dragon]

and thats just a few

[crystal viper]

`

[snow swan]

What do you about that? What silverstone gp?

[tranquil dragon]

21

yk

when max went flying into the wal

wall

[snow swan]

Oh don't most agree thst was Lewis' fault?

[stiff bough]

nah they didnt leave until the end of '09 if I recall, but they were still in the team name for 2010

BMW Sauber-Ferrari was a sight to see

[tranquil dragon]

with a white livery 😭

i dont even remember saubers livery

[stiff bough]

it was sponsorless for awhile at the start of 2010

just a generic black and white with some red accents

[tranquil dragon]

why did BMW leave?

[stiff bough]

they made a fucking shitbox and got embarrassed

It was that and the big recession

[tranquil dragon]

forgot about that one

[tranquil dragon]

toyota core

[night pewter]

If Checo bins it during a practice session, miss Q3 (or even miss Q2), and go without points this weekend all in one, is he fucked?

[slim chasm]

he's fucked rn

so

[formal cradle]

I wish regulation changes were longer

Like 6 years instead of 4

[remote knoll]

I like seeing different cars tbh

i'm interested to see what they would bring

[formal cradle]

I would’ve loved to see multiple years of Hamilton vs Max rather than only one year of close battle & then immediately back to dominance

[remote knoll]

it's not like these regs were outstandings anyways

[snow swan]

What makes you say that ?

[remote knoll]

Racing was better than the other regs but it is still kinda dull

teams are the closest they've ever been which i think is more of a cost cap thing

[stiff bough]

i dont

stable regs means better product

[remote knoll]

i guess

[stiff bough]

and product is all i care about

so remember people

idk what i was gonna say

[remote knoll]

lol

[icy walrus]

very foked

[icy walrus]

haas 1-2

[narrow garnet]

Hülkengoat

[wet sequoia]

He’s already fucked, if he messes up the next 2 race weekends anymore we might finally see a change to that 2nd RB car

[karmic token]

The RB merch sales in .mx are keeping him in the seat

[slim chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/daniel-ricciardo-honey-badger-dr3-shoey-f1-gif-12688182

[slim chasm]

that measly shit ain't doing nothing

[wet sequoia]

Sales? The sponsorships are his major selling point, not merchandise

Perez is a walking moneybag

[slim chasm]

his small ass sponsorships ain't doing shit either

it can be replaced immediately

[sharp oxide]

Finally race weekend again, i was going insane

I hope hungaroring doesn't let me down

[unkempt wasp]

So...

With record high temps in Europe, the FIA are using the softest 3 tyre compounds.

Wouldn't the tyres last less time?

[slim chasm]

yes

[unkempt wasp]

Mclaren will use a harder tyre strategy

[wet sequoia]

Yeah you haven’t experienced silly season here yet

[unkempt wasp]

My predictions:

Sauber will get its first points of the season.

Double points finish for Haas.

Verstappen will finish on the podium.

Perez will be knocked out in Q2.

[covert verge]

No
No
Yeah he'll win
Probably

[unkempt wasp]

The Sauber prediction is extremely far fetched. I will admit.

[covert verge]

Would be nice if it did happen though

[wet sequoia]

Have Sauber bought upgrades?

[unkempt wasp]

I don't see anything in #fia-documents so I am not sure

[wet sequoia]

Then no way will Sauber get points this week or next

Only chances of that is a massive DNF across the grid but that’s far fetched

Sargeant will score points before Sauber

[unkempt wasp]

Bottas goes bowling 2

[slim chasm]

it's only thursday

check again before FP

[unkempt wasp]

Thanks chief

Zhou P1 incoming

[icy walrus]

would love to see that again

[hollow granite]

Mercedes 1-2?

even in 2022 they got pole here

[icy walrus]

man if lewis wins a 2 in a row he will be begging for his mercedes seat back

[hollow granite]

HAHAHAHAHA

theres no way back!

And Ferrari scratchig for a P8

[icy walrus]

fr he might aswell retire

with going to ferrari

[hollow granite]

Lewis is having the Alonso luck now

[icy walrus]

its like more depression or retire

[hollow granite]

Yeah, prob 2025 and retire in 26 or at the end of that year

[woeful prawn]

Is there a way that Lewis goes back to the contract he signed with Mercedes last year? So 2024 and an option for 2025 🤔

[icy walrus]

yeah with new regs in 2026 he might have a chance if ferrari get there shit together and dont do a 2022 and 2024 now

[hollow granite]

I still remember the chat abbout Lewins retiring mid-seasson last year

[regal needle]

Kevin Magnussen just announced that he will depart Haas

[hollow granite]

no way, he signed already with Ferrari

[bleak briar]

[hollow granite]

[regal needle]

Sergio Perez Future still remain in Question because Red Bull found his Seat is in Danger of Removal

[bleak briar]

Idk man, not sure of anything anymore

[regal needle]

Me Neither

[bleak briar]

If the team wasn't in shambles, he would have been long gone

[regal needle]

I would see Liam Lawson in the Team

[hollow granite]

What I see of Checo (or expect from him) its not performing in this 2 next weekends, and, during the pause of summer, 2 weeks before the resume of the season another driver would be announced for the 2nd seat

If he doesnt perform

[worthy wadi]

KEVIN TO RED BULL ITLL HAPPEN

[hollow granite]

And Spa is a Sprint so better buckle up

[bleak briar]

Definitely! I was actually mad seeing Ricciardo in Torro Rosso. Liam deserved that seat

[hollow granite]

Im sure he is on the line

[grim egret]

so i guess they will anounce who is coming in soon

[twin gazelle]

trust

[hollow granite]

not until summer

[grim egret]

so both haas seats havnt been announced

[karmic token]

Ollie was announced?

[twin gazelle]

Ollie

[hollow granite]

Yes, Oliver bearman

[twin gazelle]

[bleak briar]

Yea

[grim egret]

ohh yeah bearman i forgot

[bleak briar]

Ocon will also be announced today

only one haas seat remains

[hollow granite]

now we got on track a lion and a bear

[worthy wadi]

KEVIN MAGNUSSEN IS CHAMPION OF THE WORLD

[regal needle]

With Lewis joining Ferrari, I think we will have more Rookie Later

[grim egret]

no

[regal needle]

Oscar and Logan is our Rookie Driver so far

[twin gazelle]

would be funny when someone's race engineer says "there's a bear on track"

[grim egret]

i think only bearman is the only rookie

[karmic token]

Why make Ollie suffer with a guy that’s known to hate and sabotage teammates?!

[pure aurora]

pribs kimi too

[regal needle]

Ahh, Very Delusional

[hollow granite]

The thing is, Oscar drives like no Rookie xD

first year and wins a sprnt

[bleak briar]

Idk man.....he doesn't deserve that

[regal needle]

I'm sure we will have another Rookie, Trust Me

[twin gazelle]

kimi if that happens

[grim egret]

kimi is off

sainz to merc more likely

[pure aurora]

no

[hollow granite]

Bro

[grim egret]

kimi is not ready

[hollow granite]

I wish for his career

[bleak briar]

Tbh, maybe an unpopular opinion, but I rank him higher than Norris. He just needs that tyre experience

[karmic token]

Sainz doesn’t want the single-year deal Merc is offering

[pure aurora]

sainz drivin safety car

[regal needle]

Kimi should be Ready, I'm sure

[pure aurora]

i agree fr

[bleak briar]

Kimi to williams maybe?

[regal needle]

But we have more Mercedes Driver Academy later

[hollow granite]

Not higher, but at the same level most likely

[grim egret]

probably

[bleak briar]

Finally someone

[hollow granite]

The team jsut savotage him on the strategy

[twin gazelle]

riyal

[bleak briar]

Well, Norriz has been in F1 for a while, Oscar is in his 2nd season.

[regal needle]

Mick maybe will be in Mercedes. But it's uncertain

[hollow granite]

Carlos in black and silver please PLEASE

[regal needle]

No, I don't think so yet

[hollow granite]

Yup, yessir

[bleak briar]

Nope

[subtle crest]

So, who’s gonna take the win?
I’d like to remind the Lando fans here that he hasn’t beat Verstappen in actual racing this season

[pure aurora]

Lando will win

Also really that comment feels very off-handed and rude for some reason

[subtle crest]

I didn’t mean to, sorry. English is my second language so I may have made it sound a bit rude unintentionally. Anyways, I think that Verstappen will win but I’m hoping for Oscar, he deserves it more than anyone else

[snow swan]

i dont think piatsri will win but i think he'll get on the podium

[subtle crest]

I hope so

[pure aurora]

Yeah Piastri isnt up to that level just yet

[snow swan]

i would love to see a piastri win though

[pure aurora]

Its def coming soon

hes improving rapidly

if mclaren didnt fuck up strat, he couldve won silverstone

[snow swan]

100%

[pure aurora]

kinda ironic lmao, aussie winning british gp

[covert verge]

Verstappen

[subtle crest]

I don’t think he would’ve won because McLaren would do anything to make Norris win but he’d probably have made it to second place.

[subtle crest]

Agreed but I’m hoping for Piastri’s first win this weekend

[placid halo]

as a Ferrari fan - du du du du

im just hoping for both cars to make it in the points

a podium would have been a dream

[pure aurora]

ferrari making it to q3

just my only need fr

[keen pagoda]

Any upgrades from any team?

[sage mulch]

anyone know how or where I can meet some drivers? I have a paddock pass

Alonso will win

[mortal prairie]

we aren't having a f1 race at hungary, we gonna have a boat race

[cold solar]

his chances of being in mercedes are as slim as magnussen's chances of staying in haas or even f1 as a whole

[cold solar]

real

[hallow wren]

IM FINALLY UNMUTED LMAO

i done messed up

[hallow wren]

bro called it lmao

[pure aurora]

lmfao

[pure aurora]

thats what they said in 2016

and look at magnusson racin again

and leaving again

and he'll be back soon

hes immortal

[hallow wren]

fr

kmag brings chaos to the grid

second only to ocon

[mortal prairie]

b-but mah viking

[cold solar]

real

he can replace checo as 2nd driver in redbull
shove lando out of the way for maxie

[hushed olive]

If ocon goes to Haas then kmag's carrer is gone

Which is more likely

[twin gazelle]

ocon to Haas is almost confirmed

[snow swan]

strong feeling that max won't.... my guess is the mclaren boys (maybe oscar please....) and i have a feeling that PEREZ would be in the podium,,,,

[subtle crest]

Agree with you on the first part, if the second one is a joke, it’s a good one.

[snow swan]

....

perez is not that washed up.

he is just having a bad time very very bad time..

[subtle crest]

You have to take into account that he drives one of the better cars and he performs horribly, as Horner said ,,It is unsustainable” but I’m not quite sure why they didn’t exchange Perez mid-season, as guys on this server say ,,Horner still loves him”

[stiff bough]

having a very very bad time for the last year and a half

[subtle crest]

I’m just bored, sorry for posting sh*t like that here

[snow swan]

see i agree perez is doing horribly but he would come back strong.... and if he still underperfroms imo he should be replace by Daniel maybe... ( because rb needs a experienced driver)

[subtle crest]

I’m afraid Ricciardo could be the same problem as Perez

[snow swan]

then max should asexually reproduce and create a clone for himself and race.

thats the only option.

[toxic atlas]

Ricciardo at least we know he prefers the same pointy cars that max does

[snow swan]

nah.

[subtle crest]

They could try to manipulate with Verstappens’ and Sainzes’ genetic codes so they would fall in love with each other

[snow swan]

well thats some complex time consuming things, rb does not have time for this.

is their a possibility of sainz coming to rb

?

[subtle crest]

That would for sure take longer than Max attempting to asexually reproduce

[stiff bough]

there is an outside chance, but not really.

[snow swan]

yeh.

[subtle crest]

The possibility is still there but it’s very unlikely to happen

[snow swan]

so hence rb has two choices liam lawson (inexperienced) and daniel (highly experienced) so if perez's bad form continues we could expect daniel get the rb seat.

[subtle crest]

There have been some rumors telling otherwise.

[toxic atlas]

Journos seem pretty much in agreement this is not happening

[subtle crest]

Tsunoda claiming the RBR seat comes as a reasonable option as well

[covert verge]

Danny ric doesn't deserve the seat

[toxic atlas]

reasonable to who though. That would be a big departure considering they barely acknowledge his existence

[subtle crest]

Valid point

[covert verge]

Sainz to mercedes I think

[subtle crest]

But he’s a talented driver that would more than likely perform better than all three (Journos, Ricciardo and Perez) in the RBR

[subtle crest]

Nah, Andrea

[snow swan]

neither does perez but he is still getting lot of chances so then whats worng with danny to get one more chance at rb? imo he has potential in the past he took some wronng carrer decisions like moving to renault from redbull.

[subtle crest]

Sainz is gonna be happy for some sh*tty team like Alpine because it really looks like Mercedes is going for Andrea and the situation is starting to get critical for Sainz, unless he knows more than we do

[toxic atlas]

based on what

[subtle crest]

On his performance in below average car

[covert verge]

He can't even beat Yuki

[toxic atlas]

Yuki has so far shown he is rather fragile mentally as soon as things go wrong if anything

[snow swan]

if he went to merc it wont be for long as merc want Andrea Kimi Antonelli to get into f1 asap

[toxic atlas]

The last 2 times a young driver up against Max didnt end well. An experienced driver makes a lot mroe sense, especially if he's already driven for the team

[subtle crest]

Yet he still performs better than Daniel and unlike Perez, doesn’t DNF all the time

[toxic atlas]

That's in vcarb. Performance doesn't translate 1:1 in an entirely different team. Perez is not as bad as his Red Bull form suggests either. Nor was Albon, or Gasly.

[snow swan]

exactly.

[covert verge]

But Danny ric isnt the same driver as he was when he was at Red Bull last time

[snow swan]

remember when gastly was in redbull ?
he was lapped by max.

[subtle crest]

Just bring back Vettel and everything’s gonna be alright

[snow swan]

what make you think so>
?

[snow swan]

let him enjoy his time man.

[toxic atlas]

Still more of a known quantity than Yuki

[covert verge]

Consistent poor years , it's clear he's lost his confidence

[subtle crest]

I know he deserves it

[toxic atlas]

Danny has been there and done that, so we know he is capable in the right environment. Which just so happens to be the same environment he's now being linked to

[subtle crest]

I know it might come to you as a stupid argument because there is Alonso on the same grid but Ricciardo is getting old, what makes you think that he’d be back in his prime if you put him in that RB20?

[covert verge]

But he's fell off that's the point just because he did it 6 years ago doesn't mean he can do it now

[snow swan]

apart from 2023 he performed way better than yuki. btw no hat yuki is also a
phenomenal driver... whenever alphatauri was a bit competitive daniel delivered.

[toxic atlas]

Age is vastly overrated as a factor in driver decline. 99% is mental. Is Hamilton washed because he;'s being shit on by russell in quali? I think we all agree he'll be right up there again with a more competitive car

[stiff bough]

doesn't really need to be in his prime, just perform at a level thats not getting knocked out in q1/q2 and coming p7-p8 while your teammate is fighting for wins

[covert verge]

He was in a McLaren and your comparing him to Yuki in a Alpha Tauri? That's silly tbh

[jade mural]

Congrats @covert verge, you're now on lap 5

[subtle crest]

I may be wrong but sure, he’ll perform better than on the start of 2024 season but I wouldn’t think he’d beat Michael in Ferrari

[subtle crest]

Do you think he’s able to do it?

[stiff bough]

I'd have to see how he does if he gets back into the team first

[snow swan]

the point is that he would perfrom better in a competitive environment like rb.

I think Ricciardo's decline is not irreversible but we need to manage expectations. He's not going to beat Max and he doesnt need to. He just needs to be somewhere in the mix not dicking around in p15. I would bet on Ricciardo over Tsunoda to do that all things considered. Ricciardo presents a unique opportunity for Red Bull since he's grown up with the team

[covert verge]

He had a competitive environment at McLaren and failed miserably and then a rookie in Piastri did well

[toxic atlas]

It's not so much an argument against Tsunoda as it is an argument for Ricciardo tbh

[snow swan]

yeahh.

[covert verge]

Let's be real Perez , Danny or Yuki don't really deserve it

[snow swan]

so then this is a best option for redbull now.

[covert verge]

If Danny Ric does get the seat I hope I'm proved wrong as I do like him

[toxic atlas]

Deserve is irrelevant tho. Stroll doesn't deserve it, nor does Zhou. Or Sargeant

[snow swan]

so according to you who sould get the seat except sainz??

[covert verge]

I honestly don't know tbh it's a hard one

[subtle crest]

I know that they could put him in the RBR car and theoretically, he could give them what they want, a good no.2 in the team which Perez certainly isn’t. But if you look at his recent performances in Vcarb, it’s rather inconsistent, I’m not sure if he’d be able to get to Q1 almost every single race

[toxic atlas]

Since he got his old chassis replaced he's been more consistent at least. So we may not have gotten a good picture before

[snow swan]

irony at its peak.

[subtle crest]

It’s not like we were talking about it right now

[covert verge]

It's not irony I like Danny ric and always wishes he's good but realistically imo he won't be good at Red Bull this time

[toxic atlas]

Lawson to RBR seems to be fantasy promoted by planetf1 exclusively so far. They deduced it as an option because they assume Ricciardo is not being considered.

[covert verge]

But there's always people clinging to the past

[snow swan]

so the conclusion of this debate is max should asexually reproduce to make his own clone.

thats the best option for redbull then : )

[covert verge]

Sorted

[subtle crest]

Or k*dnap (don’t wanna risk suspension) Piastri that would work as well alongside with Max asexually reproducing

[coarse obsidian]

Lawson in the second seat, it can't hurt.

[snow swan]

i want this to happen more thant to max clone himself.

[snow swan]

he could get chance in vcarb,. not red bull directly imo.

[covert verge]

Why not , looked better than Danny and Yuki when he did race

[coarse obsidian]

[toxic atlas]

Ricciardo looked pretty good before his hand injury..

[snow swan]

the point is he has not much exposure to f1 than the other options
available

(liam lawson)

[covert verge]

I agree hence why it's a hard one

[snow swan]

if there is hail during the race would they throw up the red flag and cancel it?

[toxic atlas]

Not unless the track becomes dangerous to drive, like with any other weather condition

[snow swan]

Anyone here thinks that perez would not be terminated fro redbull>?

wouldnt hail be dangerous since it is ice and slippery

[stiff bough]

it will definitely hurt.

[toxic atlas]

I don't see Perez not getting sacked. In hindsight that contract extension seems like a really clever play to get instant performances clauses to apply that he previously didn't have for this season. They used his false sense of confidence to make him sign during a period of good performances 😭

[proven leaf]

Hail ? I thought we had the hottest weather

[daring fox]

I have one ticket for belguim grand prix if anyone want tell me

[late tide]

I know this obviously isn’t the only factor a team takes into consideration when signing a new driver, but if you look at the likelihood of them performing well alone, helping RB to the championship

I’d say both yuki and daniel are safer bets

they are both talented enough to put in decent enough points results

lawson is a big and unnecessary risk to put into an RB seat like this

[toxic atlas]

From what i've seen this is basically a non-issue being parroted around by planetf1 since their sources are telling them Ricciardo is not an option. Thus it has to be lawson or Tsunoda.

[snow swan]

Bro we already discussed on this for like 30 mins.. and the conclusion was that max should asexually reproduce to clone himself. That's the best option for redbull.

[late tide]

if I was in charge I’d move either yuki or danny to the RB seat and have lawson fill the empty VCARB seat for the rest of 2024

[snow swan]

@late tide

[late tide]

that seems to be the sensible choice

[late tide]

xD

[covert verge]

Drop Perez?

[late tide]

yes

lawson would do better in perez in the vcarb

[covert verge]

Agree

[regal needle]

I'd say Lawson should get his Chance to Drive Later

[snow swan]

Callie!!!! Is konnersport going to switch to that RB powertrain?

[regal needle]

No, No, No, No... I'm not asking that Question

[tender spoke]

Put Ocon in the Red Bull, if anyone can beat Max it's him 😏

[snow swan]

Max is already lapping Perez

[unkempt salmon]

Is kmag really leaving?

[tender spoke]

Yes

[unkempt salmon]

Awe shucks

[tender spoke]

I heard he's been in talks with other teams but that no team is willing to sign him atm

[vernal holly]

Checo says the next two races don't matter for his future with the team

"I don't understand why there is so much talk about me and my future. Nothing is going to change these two weekends, even if I win the race or even if I finish last. I have a contract with the team and I am going to fulfill it."

[bronze iron]

Hi everyone, I just arrived in Budapest and i’m looking forward to the weekend, I was wondering tho, what’s the best time to arrive at practice sessions? Also what’s the best way to get autographs from the drivers

[twin gazelle]

just shout "CHARLES LECLERRRRRRRRRRRRCCCCCC cough cough cough"

gg ez

[bronze iron]

Smart

[tender spoke]

when you see gasly make sure to say "PIEEERRRREEEEEEE GASSSLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"

[craggy zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-gasp-what-cat-shock-gif-635629308990545194

Do you want his career to end after 2 races?

I mean we all saw what happened to Albon right?

[jade fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/encal-cat-meme-gif-6578366640760670385

[tender spoke]

Considering Max destroyed the last 2 Red Bull juniors he was teammates with (Gasly and Albon) and the fact that Lawson currently has way less experience than they did before they joined the senior team, I can't help but feel that Lawson could end up the same way as Gasly and Albon if he goes to Red Bull right now...Personally i think Yuki would be a better bet, but i'm a fan of Yuki so i might be a little biased lol

[sonic epoch]

Yuki is the solution for the Red Bull 2nd seat

[regal needle]

Yuki is the Future to Red Bull Racing

[brazen wadi]

Lol

[hexed raven]

i agree with u, yuki would be a better fit, it would be a similar danny situation if they put carlos with him so i don’t think carlos has a chance with rb

[hexed raven]

everything kinda starts an hour and a half earlier

so just be there an 2 hours before everything

[hexed raven]

https://tenor.com/view/f1-pierre-gasly-daniel-ricciardo-f1meme-gif-23033759

[regal needle]

Here comes the Two McLaren!

[snow swan]

what makes you say that

[regal needle]

That would be some Question to figure more

[rancid epoch]

Any chance of rain in hungary this weekend?

[cosmic vapor]

not during the weekend no

[regal needle]

No Rain detected yet

[timid vale]

NEXT DAY LET'S GO TO THE HUNGARORING 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

[bronze iron]

Hope Max doesn’t win tho

I’m here to witness Sir Lewis take his 200th podium

[bronze iron]

Or if he does at least LH is on the podium too

[floral hound]

I’d say it’s gonna be pretty tight between merc RB and McLaren
