someone in the general channel
Because he had an R8 on his Instagram story and people think it's a hint but let's face it, it's a foregone conclusion
I did see Lia Block Reel where she Drive an Open Wheel Car without Halo
If Alpine gets sold to Hitech, it could be a path for former Hitech drivers making a name for themselves currently to drive the team, people like Alex Palou?
Maybe Hitech could collaborate with CGR, a bit like Williams with Montoya a long time ago?
Maybe there could be a Bigger Primary Sponsors for Alpine Later
Even so, They still use BWT
Well, it won't be that website for sure!
both sauber drivers still on 0 points is wild
gentlemen, a short view back to ze past
I feel like it’s funnier that valtteri has no points, oof, dude is good
Fr
f1 | silly-season-hype-squad >
the team has no structure nor real strength, lets see if with the leadership changes things go better
but a change of direction is highly needed , the team at the beggining of the season was a joke because of the livery, name and sponsors, now even worse of performance
If Bottas and Zhou had a better car they both would be scoring points already, its the car that its stopping them
guys silly season is close to over
it’s been weird for me
at the beginning it went by quick but now it feels soooo slow
but ive been doing other shit to fill my time
finally recovered from twisting my ankle while moving furniture last week so i may go on a light walk to meet a friend for coffee and coworking today
Because Carlos has made the move already and ther are many question marks still
For Checo we have to wait like 4 more GPs because Red Bull is always like, he does a single "meh" race finishing P7 in front of a HAAS and then they are like "yeah we gonna keep him he has a lot to give to the team"
like, bro wtf they gonna waste the constructors, taht is the only championship taht gives them the money
bad management, simple, Red Bull has a long story with it
but albon and gasly were there for like half a year
yeah, and we have Checo missing out for 2 years now
checo was good for 2021
Since Miami '23 Checo is gone
now hes been really inconsistent
yeah
i get the car has its problems
this season has been a good one
Sfhjnji
whats ur opinion on hungary then
Not on the drivers
Shit decision by team
yes
kinda on lando tho
it was a total ferrari mess
it's an audi with the number 77 on it
more than a hint
resigning at kick
pain for another year
hulk-bottas is realistically the best lineup we could have for next year
mclaren are constantly ruining piastri races with the strategy
Perfectly said
Just because it's a "hint", it doesn't mean it's happening
did u see mazespins story
i hope mclaren give them a 2016 merc situation and let them fight properly
of course not. but tell me a name that is more likely to get that seat than bottas
Yeah
bottas is the prime candidate to fill that 2nd seat for 2025
Bottas should bail now while he has the chance because he's been at that team for a year too long now
there's a lot of names tossed around but none of them have real evidence behind them
Palou
But if max get a dnf or two due to circumstances then maybe they would prefer lando
and go out of F1? he wouldn't want that
could bring in an f2 driver to prep them for 26
For the wdc
❓
oscar is just as likely to win wdc in my opinion
its still doable for him
This season ? .. no
yes
can you send through an article?
i didn't hear about palou
There's a possibility of him doing rallying
Also Bottas isn't getting any younger, he's wasting his time, he has to be bail while he can
Rumour
I think if oscar keeps performing he can take that P2 in WDC standings
I say no chance
p2 yes
Maybe yes
p1 maybe
if the stars align
2nd f1 season with mclaren
big switch to audi in a few years
wins 6 more
👀
And next year?
random team sells for $1 and wins \
Bottas isn't a serious option anymore, he's had his time, time for him to go
And his dancing makes me take him less seriously than even Stroll
I'm less embarrassed seeing Alonso dance and he's older than Bottas
bottas was a good 2nd driver
Bottas is just gonna do cycling
whos going to vcarb and alpine?
That or rallying, his time here is over
I think Ricciardo to vcarb and doohan to alpine
Vcarb either ricciardo or lawson alpine doohan
mazepins father is now a big sponsor of alpine
sooo
Mazepin back ??? OMG
free pierre
is williams trying to cut off from being a mercedes jr team
could be why sainz when there
I mean we didnt have many SCs for the past few races so mazepin would make it more fun
no sc in spa was a shock to me
anyone else feel that if gr had the 1.5kg in spa he still wouldve lost?
Not Even Logan or zhou crashes now
Gasly is clearly the goldenchild of Alpine because he's constantly praising themselves
They've probably paid him to say nice things about the team
i mean yeah look at monaco ocon was in jeans before red flag was over
That's what they get with Fraudmin in charge, he deserved to be booted out of the team because he looks more suspicious than Briatore
alpine could be promising next year with them disbanding engine suppliers from reno
I hope alpine sells the team to someone
No they won't, they need to sell up
ANDRETTI
fuck no
It looks more like Hitech now since Oakes is in charge
Maybe we could see a collaborative effort between Hitech and Andretti to buy the team
Andretti should introduce themselves as 11th team
11th team wouldnt go well i feel
Williams was never a merc jr team
how would qualy run
its seemed like one with gr
the same as normal? itll just be extended
one driver doesnt mean its a merc jr team 🤷
but with 22 drivers what would qualy for q2 and q3
dont overthink it lol. itll just be top 15 and 10 like normal. maybe FIA goes wild and makes it top 16 and top 10
Liberty is constantly saying now, even though they own part of MSR who have a technical partnership with Andretti in IndyCar, although it's potentially going to be CGR as technical partner
6 out 6 out then 12?
still wont get why kick bought alfa for 2 years just to have to sell again
They are getting an investigation from the US DOJ im pretty sure, read it somewhere
They were basically asking for it, and they deserve to be investigated
yeah like the CEO saying "I will make sure Mario Andretti never joins F1" like wtf?
who will end mv domination next year if so
Maffei deserves to be in prison
Why desperate?
It'll come out before the beginning of 2025.
Calm down.
im getting worried
こんにちわ
real
ハイ
f1 2024 first half driver tier list
What is Yuki doing
i was considering doing that
but the car has let him down multiple times
Lando should not be a the top all i know
he has actually beaten bottas more times than checo has beaten max
lando's starts have to move him one tier down for me
and also some of his antics
i'd move ocon one up
Coughing baby vs Hydrogen bomb & Missile vs Coughing baby
i think hulk genuinely has been one of the best this season
i'd move him up to top tier alongside max
idk which driver put alongside max on top tier
Man why does he gotta look so swag here
He always does
Fr though
PENDEJO DEL ANO! VAMOS CHECO
👍
Why does Fernando not participate in Grill the Grid?
Busy being the Michelin man
I might be biased but Piastri reminds me of a younger Max
Wait is Sebastián coming back to f1
mmmm dont see nun on the official socials
smh just trust it bro 🙏
I would Say a Younger Kimi raikkonen
True
No one rn is like young Max
Even young leclerc is something I don't think any sub 20 year old will do
Nah, Oscar is a young Hakkinen imo
lower lando and put piastri or lewis up
I was about to accuse you of the stupidest bait ever before I remembered Antonelli exists smh
about damn time people call him Antonelli and not Kimi
the confusion is real
right
I’d swap norris for pastry
id swap norris and max with goat sargeant
such a bad tier list
nah it was bait 
Nah, there is no confusion, just don't dream about the past and unrealistic scenarios, then it's obvious.
guys kimi raikonnen has signed for ferrari!! He cant sign for mercedes wdym??!!!
Like Räikkönen is an old man gone from the sport for way too long to suddenly join the grid whilst Antonelli literally is a Mercedes junior driver, the context literally can't be more obvious.
i’d still just rather people say antonelli.
It's longer to write though.
Kimi is gone, long live Kimi
Just get up to speed on future talent smh
for real
F1 fans should know someone who is about to be in F1
proof
proof of what
proof
For what?!

why confusion?
Lando is ass
More Kimi actually
imo he can't be Kimi when he never has outbursts and things like that
Yes
Antonelli vs Räikkönen
max verstappen to kick sauber!!!!!!!!!!
and Oscar doesn't really give the "i dont give a shit" type energy like Kimi
not saying he does but he just doesn't seem that way
max verstappen to "kick" sauber, just like how he "kicked" latifi into the wall at abu dhabi 2021 😃
love how them youtube creators are talking about verstappen to aston all of sudden when they used to talk about verstappen to mercedes
before that they were talking about aston as well
but went back to mercedes
and came back
lmao
The YouTube pundits have nothing else to talk about asides from rumour and wild speculations.
We are deprived for actual news lately.
anyone feel like oscar will outperform lando next year
Damn... even Fox Sports reporting that Riccardo could go to Sauber for 2025.
The only merit to the actual was it repeating rumours that Lawson has been talking to Sauber considering he is a free agent if RB don't exercise their contract option.
maybe even bet lando in championship this year
Yep and yep.
I really want Lando to do well, but he isn't performing.
i feel like oscar will win qatar this year
he lacks maturity
he couldve won austria
couldve won sochi
he hasnt matured as a driver much
He should've. The stewards at Austria were doing cocaine when they should've told Max's team to give Lando the position as he left the track a lap or two before Max and Lando collided.
yeah i was watching that and it looked like stewards were blind
I will get the article. One moment
ricciardo has like 2-3 seasons left if hes lucky
I think he done.
I like the guy, but he isn't winning a championship.
Riccardo should've signed with Haas for less money than RB, but at least he would have drive.
They have Ocon, but Riccardo would be a better team mate for Bearman.
Hes just a waste of a seat for a potential rookie atp he hasnt done anything noticable i think rb should offer him a 1 year vcarb contract then brand ambassador or smt like tjat
this is better
how is kmag up there
heh
and how is perez in A tier
i wanna put him in Lance Stroll tbh
Lance stroll is an S+
Stroll has had some decent performances so far actually, the fact that he is a pay driver always overshadows some of his great performances
Still more a pay driver then a mid tier driver
i can 50% agree on this
Sargaent is mazespin despite not being last?
Yeah
well sargeant doesn't spin out compared to mazespin
or defend putin 🔥
I would pick sargeant over mazipn anyday
Marzipan
Nah
At least sargeant got his seat in a legit way
thats crazy
Hello there
Same, cant wait to see Leclerc win WDC and Piastri win some more races.
should be an interesting rest of the year
Wow, that’s really gonna make the rest of the season interesting, rb,McLaren losing to Ferrari
yeah it would be wild
they started off well and I think they have some major upgrades coming
No doubt, Ferrari is a great team and can bounce back anytime
The only thing is that they start strong every year, but then they aren’t able to make a lot of development during the season
yeah but all the teams have a weakness right now. RBR got nerfed, merc still struggles with hot tracks, Mclaren has Lando going full Leclerc, so if Ferrari can get a good boost they can slide right in there.
Yep for sure they can, they still do stand strong to come in and challenge for constructors
And with Carlos future secured, he can really score good points
Frankly, ryt now anybody other than max winning makes the sport more exciting for me
I hate dominance for more than an year from any team, be it merc or rb
At this point, even Max winning would be a fresh change
I do not see Max winning any races for the rest of the year to be honest. RBR and the rest of the team neext to pivot to working on the 2025 car soon.
of coure a safty car can help but beside that i doubt it
Congrats @stiff venture, you're now on lap 5
Could be seeing the previous results, but lando or Russell getting more wins is great
no to russell
Any driver getting more wins is great
Even Max, he's attempting that with the 2nd/3rd fastest car
would be cool to see a checo win thouhg
Yeah it would be nice
Looks tough, but as they say checo is an animal, can easily pick a win
Win in Mexico would be sick
I’ll still say it’s 2nd
Perhaps, i'd say it's the 3rd
But it could be track-dependent
Point is
The 2nd half of the season looks so open and exciting
Imagine if all the drivers get a win in their home races, then everyone except for the British/ausie driver could win at least one race every year
I think it is the 3rd fastest. While merc struggles with over heating tires it isnt as bad.
We'll see how the teams go on in Zandvoort
Realistically all ferrari needs to do is get faster quali than merc and they can consistantly finish in the top 3 with both drivers each race
Merc and rb seems literally equal ryt now, among those two both have equal chances of win
Ferrari needs to sort out their high-speed corner bouncing problem
Also, aren't Ferrari lacking in straightline speed?
I feel Charles is good, but then he isn’t able to get it home on sundays
Or was that Spa?
You can't really do that when you somehow start ahead of 4/5 faster cars behind you
Seems exceptionally capable of doing that this year
That was always what painted him as a "quali merchant"
I literally missed seeing the Ferraris on other races when they started at back
Sainz on Monza 2022 was really fun to see
Just ripping through the field, iirc P20 to P4
What position do he come in, I know it was a McLaren 1-2
No, that was 2021
He does have some bad luck
2022 was Max, Charles and George on the podium
Who won in 22
Oh
Was it in 21 that max put the car on lewis’s head in monza?
Yup
Yes.
Hmm
God i'd kill for a 2021-esque season
But with more drivers included
It looks this year is in the same direction
Imagine a title fight with Max, Lewis, Charles, Lando
Hell, put Oscar and George in
It would be if not for the first 4-5 races
When RB still had the outright advantage
isnt that sort of what we have gotten since the last quarter of the serason
Bring it own, as a viewer I’m ready for that action
Yes and i love it
It has been more of gentleman racing in this year’s season, when compared to 21
I hope Lando learns how to properly get his elbows out, cause he's the biggest threat to Max, if you consider the machinery
Oh give him sometime, he’ll be real good fighting at the front
Oh yeah i wasn't demeaning about it, it shall come with experience
I am very curious to see 2025 Lando
Now that he's experiencing a title-contending car
Me too
This year does seems like lando might win, but it is still tough
Next year for sure McLaren has a great chance from beginning of the season
For sure
2025 will be really great, i feel
Could be even greater if Ferrari drag themselves back into the front
4 header fight
No, double header
then a week break
then another double header
then another 1-month break
I mean four teams fighting for wdc😂
e could even see AMR step up mid season next year
Has this silly season been "silly" or nah?
I think its cus the big moves (so far) have been annouced prior to silly season.
Will make it much more interesting
Bring back lord mahaveer
next week
Mazepin works 😂
We get max's home GP part 2
It’s the Dutch ryt??
yeah
It’ll be orange all around
Imagine McLaren winning it wi the orange all around
my favorite color combo
it will be a sick photo for when piastri wins
You a piastri fan
yeah, I said last year he will be the one to dethrone max. He is looking like he will live up to that.
He’s really good at his craft, I believe in him
I feel bad for him that he literally had to be on sidelines for a year
I dont because he is still new. It sucks he has been on the short end of things but it has shown he is unshakeable. So when he goes head to head with Max next year he will not fold... like lando and all of max's teammates.
if anything all the troubles he has had and he still fights back proves more that he is the one to beat max and might never block kimi from becoming champ.
True…he probably is the next LH
Guy has the caliber to be the next big thing in F1
he does. I think some slept on him since they were mad he replaced riccardo. And Lando was the talk of the town for a good part of this year but I think people are understanding his potenatial
Nah.. I feel Danny being sacked and going on sidelines was good for him, he basically got his mojo for racing back during that break
I agree with you but some felt soured on PIastri because of that
Did he get to the podium last season?
He won the Qatar sprint race but I am not sure off the top of my head
Just checked last year Japanese gp Oscar was on podium
Yep, I wanna see kimi and Oscar in same team sometime in their f1 career
what would be interesting. I would prefer they were in different teams so their battles arent stopped by the team
Yeah, come next year we r gonna see that
Worst f1 driver each year (2014-2024):
2014: Max chilton
2015: Will stevens
2016: Esteban Gutierrez
2017: Jolyon Palmer
2018: Sergey sirotkin
2019: Robert kubica :(
2020: Nicholas latifi
2021: Nikita mazepin
2022: Nicholas latifi
2023: Nyck de vries
2024(so far): Logan sargeant
Don’t disrespect my goat Logan like that
Maybe he’ll be the goat of indy
Zhou has been pretty bad this year as well
relative to his teammate
so has checo
Logan is closer to albon than checo has been to max
idk man the fact that checo is underperforming severely does not put him within logan and zhous league of bad
not true at least checo had his moments of glory even if his glory was basically just being a stepping stone for max
moments of glory
I'll find the graph of the gaps between teammates
i'm positive Checo's to max was larger
Hi guys can u give me free links to watch the races on live
we don do that here

I found a site but I'm not sure how reliable it is
send
i mean naturally the car is best suited to max and even if it werent max is on another level, very few people could come close to matching him.
eh
albon drives a tractor and still pulled a p4 once and the occasional points.
logans best was a p10.
P4 when?
i was boutta say
Logan got the p10 thanks to some penalties in front right?
Not in Williams
It does because we are talking about 2024
he has not gotten a podium in the last 3 seasons of f1
specifically talking about the worst performers in 2024, im putting his potential into perspective
against logans which is mediocre at best
Most drivers have podiums
While Max is out there fighting for wins and podiums, Checo is struggling to get out of Q1 and finishing P7 
And then there's Nico.
You pulled a result from when he was driving the 2nd fastest car
A driver with like 13 years of f1 experience should not be underperforming this much
okay fair enough now that you put it that way it does seem dumb to compare.
I sometimes wish i was born on the universe where logan was actually good in f1
Or just one in which Vowles isn't an ass to him and gives him the same car than Alex have.
America would be a better place 😢
if he sucks in f1, chances are he's gonna suck in indy as well.
i don't think its exclusively the car
No but his car wasn't running the same parts for a while
Like only 3 or 4 races Logan had the exact same car than Alex.
Logan also just doesn't improve quick enough but yeah their car has not been equal
Prema racing doesn’t think so
If JP would still be here.
Well obviously, a team isn't gonna openly shit talk a driver
Besides the ones that do, anyway.
They silenced the #1 Logan fan smh
who's jp
#1 Logan Fan
John Pork
Lets see how will sainz-albon stats go
actually i'm #1
logan fans exist????
but dont tell him that
I literally have Logan as my pfp
What made him say those stuff anyway
Sainz gonna beat Albon is my prediction
But whats the margin
not a lot
it was a picture of logan with some girl. He said he was gonna kill her as a joke and then ended up getting kicked to the curb
I think it was a little braindead moment from him with big consequences.
yeah
I thought the 7d was fine personally
same
He got banned
it’s looking like mick won’t get alpine seat it’s more likely for him to get Audi than alpine
Marko Said he deserves a seat
But I think they’ll still prefer Lawson at VCARB
All Albon has to do is keep up to prove he’s ready for a better seat
I think he already has imo
Sure he has only had Latifi and Logan as teammates
but he looks ready idk
Going against Sainz will be the ultimate test
Nobody will give Mick a seat
Who's gonna tell him this when he's no more in this server?
Someone could DM him
Eh?
I don't think this is anything DM-worthy. 
Trust me it is
ALB - SAI would test Leclerc indirectly (in fans' eyes, I agree).
Imagine that + HAM equalising with LEC in Quali and races.
Fan 1: "Hamilton washed!"
Fan 2: "Sabotage by Ferrari for their golden boy!"
[Fan 2 = CultLH, I'm not seeing anything else.]
2 weeks no f1 I’m tweaking out right now
What does Leclerc have to do with this
There’s one season where Sainz beat him by a very narrow margin
I saw some comments, saying "If Albon beats Sainz considerably, then that means Leclerc isn't any WDC material. ('cause he's pretty equal to him in Quali pace.)"
Plonked it from there.
[Don't ask me how that makes any sense.]
1 week left docs and we'll see 20 skibidi people drive in rich ovals
Quite the large if of Albon beating Sainz.
Yeah it really doesn’t considering Leclerc left Sainz in the dust lmao
I mean RB saw sth in him, it’s not impossible imo. I wouldn’t bet big on it, but I wouldn’t be overly surprised
It'd be funny if people say Albon is better than Leclerc if Albon does beat Sainz
I can't wait to see who comes out on top
It’s going to be interesting for sure
Vowles do be seething badly.
I'd sincerely doubt they saw anything worth chasing. He was only ever around in the first place because they needed a driver last minute, so he had to scramble out of his Formula E contract. Sainz has gone up against many competent drivers as teammates and has held his weight very well, I cannot say the same for Albon.
Well they did since they planted his ass in their car at some point
That's true Albon has gone against Kvyat?, Latifi and Logan
But as I said, I’m not betting on albon to beat him either
and max ofc
yeah, because Gasly was having hissy fits and Kvyat was ass, so he's the next best thing
and then it went down terribly
Which is big for a team like RB that seems pretty selective and demanding
Next best thing for RB is not next best thing for Williams (hello, de vries 😂)
Yes, very selective in only hiring subpar drivers in the #2 car
Nah we all know why they’re keeping Perez and he played a big part in helping secure those WDC and WCC titles in 21 and 22
He wasn’t subpar when he was hired
nope but he has been for the last year and a half
He's got some good persuasion skills.
Yeah, it’s called a huge ass sponsor who apparently gave him a blank check for whatever reason
double points week in week out cant wait :))
maybe
please
That depends if the car is like 2023
TBH
redbull are basically giving checo one last chance
by blaming it on the car
once they do build a car thats (hopefully) more compatible and easy to adjust to for checo
if he gets washed again they aint gonna give another sh!t about his sponsors and sack him
+hes prob gonna cost rbr the wcc
blaming it on the car except I don't think the car is so bad that you're getting outqualified by Logan Sargeant
real
horner is just being too nice
his sponsors are acting as the airbags
Because all the silly season stuff is practically done
Only things left is if Kimi is ready for F1 Mercedes, Checo/Ricciardo/Lawson futures in the Red Bull programs and ultimately who will sign the seat at Sauber/Audi
First 2 require more time, the Sauber seat is the biggest unknown
kimi prob getting announced at monza or smth
i heard
or maybe earlier?
lemme fix the silly season problem
The Kimi question will require time
- Bottas replace Checo
- Danny Ric to Sauber (AUDI)
- Lawson to RB
- Checo gets sent back to mexico in a crate
- Kimi Antonelli for Mercedes
- Stroll gets sacked
- Clone Alonso for double alonso aston martin lineup 😎
No one wants Ricciardo outside of Red Bull
😭
ik but still
Except NASCAR
I WANT DOUBLE ALONSO LINEUP
its 2x the mewing power
2x the fernando alonso power
we just need someone to invent a cloning machine first
Better off growing a lab baby Alonso, he’s past his ultimate prime
hello chat
hey chat
Bye chat
When did you show up 
Night night, or enjoy your day off Discord
im just being silly :3
is this an F1-only channel? they are talking niche motorsports in the other one.
They’re talking about Larson vs Verstappen…
They wont sack stroll
ik
its my version of silly season
if only it were true
double alonso
tbh we should also double the amount of verstappens
fix the checo problem
with another max verstappen
Theory: liberty media wants checo to race the México GP and that is why red bull didnt sack him 💀
Checo is staying next season

Russell is ahead of Hamilton right?
And Ferrari have got massive upgrades coming at Monza
If they repeat last year Ferrari could finish WCC 2nd
No Hamilton ahead after Spa
Oof I just checked the standings, I was so out about Hamilton-Perez-Russell
so wdyt abt end season predictions
Verstappen
Piastri
Norris
Leclerc
Hamilton
Sainz
Russell
Perez
Alonso
Tsunoda
Hulkenburg
I don’t care at this point
Oscar passing Lando? I think the gap is too far
the gap is only 32 points
You’ve seen the wins Norris has been throwing right, and Piastri loses his potential wins to factors outside his control
Pookies problems are the starts
Starts and when he can’t overtake
Also he’s made mistakes when trying to catch the lead on final laps
He’s not dealing with that pressure well yet
Norris p2 is crazy
He's not good at all
I feel like Hamilton is too low
Eh, he's slipped of late but he's still probably 2nd or 3rd best overall this season
I think end of season he'll probably drop 2 or 3 spots
Definitely behind Hamilton
Probably Oscar too if he keeps his current form
Duck Duck Go
People still think Sauber will re sign Bottas, it's basically over for him, he's not doing enough in that car despite how awful it is
He's been in that seat a season too long now, he should retire for his own good
people think that because sauber's options are rather lackluster otherwise
"Continuity and Stability " isn't going to cut for them next year in preparation for 2026, he has to be let go
He's had his time, he needs to make way for someone else, Sauber need to be fresh with the lineup to partner Hulkenberg
and who should this someone else be, in your opinion?
I heard something about Botas potentially moving to WRC
Because I can name one driver off the top of my head that I know is a guaranteed better option, but they don't want to be in F1.
It's likely given the resurgence in Finns rallying again
True
He's mostly going to go there or Supercars in Australia
On the other hand, there is that pic on Instagram of him next to a new Audi R8
Could be a hint for the future team 🤷
He's bluffing, I don't think Audi will consider him at all, with Binotto there now, the writing is on the wall for him
Fair enough
Also Bottas isn't exactly getting younger, he'll be 35 soon, sure guys like Alonso, Hamilton and Hulkenberg prove age is just a number but Bottas is nowhere near their level
So who do you think should replace him then?
If Red Bull run out of time, Lawson, if Audi want to do what Mercedes in 2010, Mick alongside Nico so that there's an all German lineup at the soon-to-be German team
so the lackluster options available
Did you just say Lawson and Schumacher are lackluster options?
Yikes
Your profile is Stroll who is basically entitled scum
ALO will be champion,i trust in el plan
what an argument
There are definitely worser options down the food chain, they're pretty much the top contenders now, Mick is a possible prospect since Binotto arrived as he knows him from when Mick was part of Ferrari's roster
hello chat
double german lineup at audi would be cool
i just want to see mick in a team with a good team principle and a better car than haas’ two years of disaster
clearly haas has made some improvements since ayao took over
Facts
I personally wouldn't want to sign Schumacher even though Audi wants German drivers
The stuff with Haas doesn't reflect what he's capable of, just look at Albon at Williams after his time at Red Bull
who?
eh, Kmag coming back after a year's hiatus and beating Mick off rip says a lot
bro started insulting because he couldnt think of a comeback 🙏
mick scored all of his points in like 2 grand prix
And I know that someone is going to say the race record is 12-9 in mick's favor
Kmag only came back through luck
But Kmag also had 5 DNFs to Mick's 2
Palou
Him coming back isn't what's important
He came back and was IMMEDIATELY better than Mick
who is that
damn
Yeah but Nico schooled him and he's getting a new chance with Audi, the season Mick had in 2022 doesn't represent what he's capable of, he was just unlucky and really done dirty
How does nico factor in to this?
Nico was better than kevin, who was better than mick
Doesn't that just mean Mick is complete shite compared to nico?
If we're going off of your logic
Nico has been the better Haas driver over the two seasons he's been there
Yeah but I was talking about Mick.
Meh, none of the teams really seem to rate him very highly, he's been shrugged off by basically everyone
2022 doesn't tell the full story, Mick was easily by a country mile than Mazepin in 2021 even though the car was beyond awful
Mick has possibly changed since he's been part of Mercedes for the last couple of seasons out, that's good time to refresh
with how much Mercedes talks him up, you'd think they would've signed him
That's because Mazepin himself was hot garbo
mazepin was worse than me at f1
Mick's 2022 year was just not good
Lots of big crashes
Saudi Arabia
Monaco
japan
And he only drove good enough to finish in the points on TWO occasions
And those 2 races were back to back
Kmag was just better
Kmag was faster at the beginning of the year and took advantage of the better car
He was a MUCH better qualifier (16-6 vs Mick AND a pole position)
Yes but he's dropped off since, no wonder he's pretty much gone at the end of the year
And he kept the car out of the wall
That doesn't matter. We're looking at 2022
Just Kmag was better over that season, it doesn't mean Mick is necessarily awful, he's most likely changed since 2022
When he hasn't been driving the car?
I get that hes been with Mercedes
But if he's that talented there's no way that he'd have been overlooked for so many seats
He should stay in indycar imo
I’m thinking an F2 dude to Kick and Mick to Alpine instead
yea but alpine wants doohan
its gonna be doohan who will get that seat moat likely
zhou is prob out of f1
antonelli to merc
forget abt him
if doohan goes to alpine then mick or a f2 dude to kick
audi is prob his best chance rn
audi wants a german pair right
then ye mick
an instagram acc even claims that seb might return
ye cuz sainz rejected them 
nah.
its like saying kimi will return
yeah williams was prob his best shot
but id prefer if sainz to merc and antonelli to williams for 1-2 szns
and if he performs then switch them
its like saying mazepin could return with alpine
Williams are not a Merc junior team
imagine verstappen and antonelli pairing at merc
George was an exception and that was like due to some deal Merc made with Williams
pretty sure williams tried to keep him beyond 2021
max going to merc?
in 2026 maybe
lmao
Yeah no Merc was always gonna get George back
it would be insane
i hope Checo gets sacked
sorry but he can’t continue with these horrendous performances
redbull should sign bottas
W team player
Hes only pointless cuz his car is garbage
bottas is a good second driver
the days go slower when its race week 😠
rawe ceek 🔥
Race Weeks Tomorrow, Don't worry
It'll be Max Home Race we will visit like Last Year after Summer Break
Expect a Contract Renewal on Both Zandvoort and Monza Later
They're Contract expired Next Year alongside Imola
I had an aneurysm trying to understand this
back from boarding school lol
yeah
With the whole break bias thing, i wouldnt be shocked if it was the reason why newey left
imagine sergio perez in his first race back from summer break
abysmal fp1 fp2 fp3
crashes out in q1
crashes out in the race 
most likely scenario
they have to bring in riccardo at that point
hello chat
i'm fuckin saying
REAL
watch perez compltely bottle it
I can see the future fr
Official over under:
who will crash out more by the end of the season: Stroll or Checo? And how many times?
DW GUYS
checo will help danny
hes really helpful
the more he puts it in the wall the more helpful he is 🥰
real
probs checo
stroll only crashed out like 2 times
saudi and spa right?
I think so
ofc checo
lmaoooo
Checo should be sacked w/l
Rawe Ceek 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥 💯 💯 💯
ANSHSISN WOO
Oh! Is that Austin Talentless Hack Thanks Pop Pop Dillon?
Ferrari 2025 lineup is Roscoe Hamilton and leo leclerc
Lmaooooo
He'll be out by Baku so he can't defend his win there even though Monza is in between Zandvoort and Baku
wait why
Because it's Perez
Yuki deserves it more imo but hey
Danny to RedBull is what we need
Not a bad take. I could see Yuki moving up
however I don’t think they’re interested in moving Yuki up. Remember they always had some empathy for Danny. Called him back as a 3rd driver when he didn’t have a spot on the grid
when Nyck left Horner put Danny on the vacant AlphaTauri seat and kept him there for another season although he should’ve left
Checo sacked ric to red bull and lawson to vcarb
Not very likely
Seems like rb are just not that interested in yuki
AM ? Papa stroll ? Honda ? Who'll win
lolol right
Morning Team. Happy Race Week!
After several Weeks of Season Break, We are Back with Race Week
rawe ceek. The ceek is very rawe
i think it is inevitable that Lawson will be signed to VCARB
basically like Doohan with Alpine, it's simply a matter of formalities
what happens to Ricciardo is entirely dependent on Checo
either he replaces him, he get dropped at the end of this year
or in a cursed timeline, he stays at VCARB while Yuki takes Checo's seat
Yeah Tsunoda would need to nab a podium for that to happen
he deserves it imo
he could do what Gasly did and still not be given a seat
which was also sort of dog to do to Gasly
i know he did not get along with the team in 2019
but he surely proved enough to be re-promoted
Tsunoda is one of the best drivers on the grid
Nico as well
W
Hi
ITS RAWE CEEK!!!!!!!
AHHHH 4 MORE DAYS UNTIL F11
Whats rawe ceek
my honest reaction
What is race week? I only know rawe ceek.
Get up gas drinkers it's all over, listen we had couple quiet weeks
cant wait for the 4 week break after singapore 🥲
I know right! It’s been so peaceful here 😇
Cawe reek
there's a 4 week break after sg?
Oh, I thought that was his driving skill especially when he was behind his teammate for 6 seconds and can't catch up.
Wha
Because drivers can’t do 30 races a year with jet lag
they can’t know for sure until they try it though
Tell that to the mechanics and staff as well
They make a mistake on the car due to fatigue someone is going to get seriously injured
We dont need to anyway
They are humans and they have families and relatives to take care off
They alr spend majority of the year travelling to different countries for races
but we dont need 2 summer breaks
one is enough, you just have 2 week gaps instead of triple headers
You’ll have to live with it like the rest of us
and the 3 week break after Sao Paulo
They really messed up the 2nd season half massively.
It's all logistics and dates and time. I would love it if they block races due to region but some races can't change their calendar date.
y'all think ferrari's upgrades will work after the break or nah
yeah fr
idk why but i have a good feeling about it
i usually have no good feeling about ferrari but this time i feel like theyre gonna come back strong
Hope it isnt 2022 all over
fr
behind his teammate that wouldn't have overtaken him at all if he hadn't gotten the favorable strategy?
F1 fans when they have to wait more than two weeks for a race
F1 fans would never survive an endurance season
having like two months between every race
Yea
MORE THAN ONE WEEK IS A CRIME
nah
First time? Nobody tell them about winter break
lololol
the first time ive seen folks mentioned winter break was within the last few days
🔥
He knows, he’s just still crying about the fact drivers/mechanics/engineers all need breaks as well
Super dumb question, but Ferrari surely does a post-mortem to figure out why an upgrade failed. I’m sure they’re not eager to make it public, but any hints what happened?
The upgrade actually worked as intended, it just introduced a different problem, being that the car started porpoising again.
Wish I had that link to the article, but basically Vasseur said it provided the gains needed in the low speed but the high speed stuff the car got unpredictable and bouncy
Who started postponing?
Ferrari. Porpoising.
Although I guess you could argue they are also postponing the upgrade due to the porpoising. 
I just think they want to surprise everyone at Monza and win on Ferrari home turf
whats porpoising
I’m sorry that’s outrageous, i demand my weekly entertainment
It’s when the drivers bounce in the car on the straights
I guess you do hibernate during off-season when it’s cold and no racing in Europe 
Now we've got all the 2022 F1 cars out on track, let's go over some of the main focus points of these early days for the new cars.

NTT Data has joined McLaren's list of partners
and will be their major F1 Academy sponsor
Also just a heads up, Friday and Saturday action will take place an hour earlier than usual
the Race will still start at normal time tho
Aren't those the people sponsoring Indy?
I just noticed I’ll be watching the Valorant finals followed by Zand
Long day on the lounge
bro is the definiation of the cool uncle
yeah, they are Indycar's title sponsor
Hardly 🙄 I won’t let the kids touch alcohol until they’re 15
rawe ceek
A lot of chatter this summer over the FIA rule change regarding asymmetric brake systems. Here is what prompted it... and it wasn't Red Bull despite the rumours.
#F1
ok considering that’s just a tweet to a motorsport.com article
here’s the actual article
Red Bull admits it may have hit the ceiling with its current car concept in #F1, having lost the last four races to Mercedes and McLaren.

This is what no newey does to a mf

Breaking: Robert Shwartzman will take part in FP1 for Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber at this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix.
The young driver, a Scuderia Ferrari reserve driver in this year’s Formula One season, will take over Valtteri Bottas’s seat for the session, with the Finn resuming driving duties for the remainder of the weekend. As in previous o...

They're genuinely snubbing Theo
It's criminal how people don't rate him because "he won F2 title in his 3rd season" and that he's severely overlooked
guys what the flip i did not know this
People need to stop sleeping on Theo and see him as a star of the future
Well, if he wouldn't be so arrogant.
btw Vettel was on some sargent stats in 2008…. 6 retirements😂…
Maybe some F1 team give Logan another 3 years and then wins 4 straight WDC, 😂
Why should we just ignore that he was one of the weakest if not the weakest Formula 2 champion
Because 1 random dude on Discord says that.
Also Théo literally is overrated and not underrated.
The weakest F2 champion is Drugotest
Also he proved that the person with the most wins in the season doesn't win the championship
Slander names
Punish this indvidual
We're baaaack.
this is news to me
Theo barely won F2
Finally silly season is over, I’m off to bed now
Serious season
serious season unserious sport
Sad
Chat are we back?
Heard Ferrari is bringing a new suspension and floor
- Cute pfp, love the vibe
- Oh god Ferrari upgrades, everyone take cover
Charles gonna win this race
Nah Charles takes multiple races to understand an upgrade
If the car magically becomes mega quick
It’ll be Carlos
Who takes the win.
Sainz champion
ferrari master🅱️lan incoming…
These dudes will lie to me again
And I'll fall again
they're still cooked
Hamilton win at the dutch gp
anyone but verstappen win so i can go home from holland smiling
eh yes
Don Oscar Piastri Leclerc Parrera masterclass incoming
You forgot to throw in leclerc somewhere in the last names
ah yes, fixed
Nah checo out in q1
VER PIA HAM NOR RUS
top 5 prediction
Ferrari 6-7
I guess ham will be on a podium
(P1) hope
ham has been goated since canada
Yaa a prime ham is back
🔥 8th time in 2025
||should’ve been 8 in 2021||
I wish but he will get his 8th in 2026 because new era of engine
hamilton has more wins than lando this season so far and lando is in a better car
💀
Lando often fucks up stuff his mentality is shit
Lando His mindset hasn’t mature yet opposite of Verstapen
I will think he’ll drop to 4th behind Max, Oscar and Lewis
this second half
lewis would be p4 at best this year
the car was so mid in the first races and costed him alot of points
i think he was just simply outperformed by george
Congrats @winged dagger, you're now on lap 10
