monaco-gp

[wind ingot]

He get a fast car and And he didn't take the opportunity.

[winged dagger]

in the first half

[winged dagger]

• Lando just isn’t championship worthy leveo

Hell, I’d say even behind Leclerc and Carlos

[wind ingot]

I wish leclerc do something and fight for the championship

[remote knoll]

I'm gonna send you the problem with Leclerc

this thing right here

[vocal lynx]

its not him, its the car

[remote knoll]

is the issue

[winged dagger]

Guaranteed things that are bound to happen:

Lando losing P1 after turn 1
Checo falling from P2 to P8

[vocal lynx]

and his team fucking him over

[winged dagger]

hes a solid driver. behind max lewis and nando only imo

[wind ingot]

I know the destroyer him

[hushed olive]

mclaren is a midfield team with a top car

[winged dagger]

oscar hasnt been here long enough

for me to judge

[remote knoll]

🤔

[vocal lynx]

charles is far better than lando imo

[remote knoll]

agree

[hushed olive]

what i am saying is that mclaren has a good car but they have midfield team mentality

[remote knoll]

I see

[hushed olive]

silverstone is a example of this

[wind ingot]

For second i guess ham is wrong for go to 🏎️🏎️

[remote knoll]

Yea McLaren have pulled some 2022 Ferrari strats

[remote knoll]

we'll find out in 2025

[winged dagger]

2025 will be an interesting szn with Red Bull having their issues, Merc’s uncertainty of having Kimi as their 2nd driver, Ferrari fucking up as always. So that leaves us with McLaren

OSCAR PIASTRIIIIIII

Ok but if Aston gets Newey they’re gonna be in the race as well, as they already have a good and experienced driver

[cosmic vapor]

what do you want him to do

he literally cannot do shit with that literal piece of garbage

hes putting everything he has he took pole in spa in a car that did NOT deserve it

hell sainz pulled a p7 and this guy puts it on the front row and still holds a podium (dsq)

[snow swan]

Red Bull and Ford just doesn't sit right with me idk why

[cosmic vapor]

ford v ferrari 2026

[snow swan]

💀

It will be an interesting season

[cosmic vapor]

all for some old guy who knows how air works to create a car for another old guy

which dominates the season

[snow swan]

Lol

[cosmic vapor]

https://tenor.com/view/alonso-fernando-alonso-formula1-f1-aston-martin-gif-27599415

[snow swan]

It's all part of Jos' master plan.

[cosmic vapor]

yall think this brake bias shit could apply to mclaren

the rule change

[remote knoll]

no

[cosmic vapor]

danguut

[snow swan]

What does the change exactly do now?

[cosmic vapor]

prevents assymetrical braking

excuse my spelling

[remote knoll]

yeah

[snow swan]

I see

[cosmic vapor]

mclaren was the one who developed the concept in like years ago no like

the 2nd brake pedal thing

[remote knoll]

that was like 20 years ago

[cosmic vapor]

js saying

im delusional

i js want ferrari back

ferrari vs redbull

[remote knoll]

vs mclaren vs mercedes

[cosmic vapor]

merc sure

piastri sure

[remote knoll]

the more drivers the better

[cosmic vapor]

js not landp

lando

[remote knoll]

why

[cosmic vapor]

no hate for him

actually some hate for him

idk man i js dislike him

[brisk canopy]

max is fuck SARGEANT IS BETTER

[remote knoll]

max is fuck

[cosmic vapor]

haven't talked to a lando fan in a while

[cosmic vapor]

https://tenor.com/view/formula-one-f1-kevin-magnussen-logan-sargeant-crash-gif-1422058444402501261

whos fault chat

[remote knoll]

magnussen

[brisk canopy]

LOGAN SARGEANT🐐🐐🐐🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[brisk canopy]

magnussen

[cosmic vapor]

imagine if magnussen didn't hit him

oh my lord the lando hate would be INSANE

no first win for blud

[remote knoll]

it would've been close still

cuz max had damage

and a big pace loss

[cosmic vapor]

maybe

[cosmic vapor]

i think lando could have p3

but like

[remote knoll]

actually nvm

lando still had to get past many cars

[cosmic vapor]

it would have ended like the usual max lec nor or sum

[brisk canopy]

LANDO NORRIS DOESNT KNOW HOT TO WIN A RACE

[cosmic vapor]

exactly

[remote knoll]

without sc

[cosmic vapor]

eeexactly

[remote knoll]

i forgor

[brisk canopy]

he doesnt know

[cosmic vapor]

dude the server was absolute chaos after his win

jesus

[brisk canopy]

@remote knoll @cosmic vapor

[cosmic vapor]

there is a reality out there where lando binned it even when free air

[proven leaf]

Blud trying so hard to rage bait 🪤

[gentle swallow]

not even bait

[brisk canopy]

not bait

[proven leaf]

I mean why troll when you know you can't sit in that seat and win

[remote knoll]

You have to be an F1 driver in order to criticize other F1 drivers?

[proven leaf]

No ?

Look at that message and tell if it's a rage bait or not ?

[remote knoll]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i've seen worse "rage bait"

[proven leaf]

Of course

Regardless

[remote knoll]

Saying Lando Norris doesn't know how to win a race after barely winning one doesn't seem like rage bait

[proven leaf]

Welp I stand corrected

Apologies

Well let me further support you 💀

Bro needs to fix his starts 💀

I don't think slander names was allowed ? Or can we say it now ?

[remote knoll]

i dont think so

[proven leaf]

Okie

[hushed olive]

Deleted it to prevent a mute

[stiff bough]

YEAH THEY WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED EVER!!!!!

[proven leaf]

Thanks for the clarity !

[wet sequoia]

Except mods can still see edited/deleted messages

[cosmic vapor]

not rage bait

its real

real

blud has started from pole twice

this year at least

and both times hes fallen to p3 on literally the first lap

no

the first corner

leclerc was able to last at least past the first corner

[remote knoll]

how many poles has charlec converted to wins

[cosmic vapor]

i forgot but not many

landos pole conversion rate is 0% tho so

[novel summit]

GUYS ITS ALMOST RACE WEEKEND

[cosmic vapor]

leclerc better make this break worth it

[ocean thunder]

Bro needs to lock tf in

[cosmic vapor]

yes please

[gentle swallow]

max takeover will continue

[hushed olive]

Well sorry mods i didnt know about that

[proud grotto]

at least 1 lol

[winged dagger]

miami

[untold rover]

The track is overrated

[craggy zenith]

yeah but that was caused by the safety car

[pure aurora]

the mclarens race pace now is good

oscars driving well

its just lando

[cosmic vapor]

on god

lando fumbling extremely hard

[snow swan]

is max's title in doubt now?

like is there a chance of competition for P1?

[pure aurora]

highly unlikely

[acoustic cairn]

guh

[wet sequoia]

Unless Norris or Piastri win every sprint and GP until the end of the year then no, Verstappen has a lead and he won’t just drop into the midfield/backmarkers

Constructors on the other hand…

[wide trellis]

RAWE CEEK!

https://tenor.com/view/rawe-ceek-race-week-race-week-f1-f1-meme-f1-gif-14481614834636274688

[winged dagger]

RAWE CEEK!

[stray axle]

ITS RAWE CEEK

[craggy marsh]

Piastri has this in the bag fs

[winged dagger]

I think Max’s title is secured

[wide trellis]

Yea max wins this year

[winged dagger]

I think 2025 will be an interesting seasob

[wide trellis]

And i think he wins this race for sure

[winged dagger]

Where the title fight gets interesting

Maybe another 2010?

5 way until the last gp

lmao

[wide trellis]

Idk but i cant wait for 2026 to see how audi performs

[winged dagger]

think its gonna be a midfield team but nico will be 7th or sum

nico is good

i mean hes 11th rn in a backmarker team

[wide trellis]

Idk audi has some ok racing history with le mans and WRC like mercedes maybe we got a top 5 team

[winged dagger]

depends on the second driver as well

if the second driver cooks in 2025 then audi will be a promising team

[wide trellis]

Bottas is goated

[winged dagger]

not sure he’s staying tho

maybe Bortoleto or even Mick to replace him

Mick is still shit im afraid

[wide trellis]

Mick hell nah

[winged dagger]

Bortoleto isn’t leading everyone by 20 secs either in F2

[winged dagger]

I’d love for Bottas to stay though

An experienced driver

[wide trellis]

Bottas gotta stay

[winged dagger]

He’s in the worst car in the grid and still is doing not too bad

Zhou is shit

Worse than Logan I dare say

[wide trellis]

Bottas is a good driver the team is bad the car the name everything

[cosmic vapor]

leclerc better get 2nd in the wdc back ffs

blud needs to lock tf in

[winged dagger]

Imo either he’s 3rd or drop imo

Ferrari is shit

Not his fault

[cosmic vapor]

i have higher expectations for someone of his caliber

[winged dagger]

With this Ferrari team I don’t think he can do much

[wide trellis]

Ferrari will be ferrari forever you cant change that

[cosmic vapor]

alonso dragged shitboxes to good position

why can’t he

[winged dagger]

Bc it’s Fernando Alonso

[wide trellis]

Ye

He the rookie

[winged dagger]

43 year old and still got it but I think age is finally getting into him

Stroll is catching up or just outperform him at times

[wide trellis]

Hes still young

[winged dagger]

Alonso 2023 >>

[winged dagger]

4th with a midfield car, only a few points behind Lewis

[wide trellis]

Alonso will fight kimis kid for the the 3rd title

He wont retire soon

[sage pike]

But this season he's 9th 😔

[winged dagger]

Aston’s car is shit this season + I don’t think he’s as good anymore due to age

[sage pike]

Okay no I don't think so

Remember China?

Starts p3

Amazing start

Goes p2

But checo has the faster car and pressures alonso a lot

[wide trellis]

Alonso is still goated. Its the car that has a gp2 engine in it

[cosmic vapor]

and it’s charles leclerc

charles should be close to max level

[sage pike]

https://tenor.com/view/leclerc-f1-leclerc-f1-formula1-fail-gif-25940037

[cosmic vapor]

yes

bs

shit car

[wide trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/charles-leclerc-leclerc-france-crash-nooooooo-gif-26428145

[cosmic vapor]

he should be clearing sainz at least tho

[cosmic vapor]

blud doesn’t mistake like that anymore

blud is incredibly mid this season tho

[sage pike]

Start of seasons sainz was day and night better than leclerc

[cosmic vapor]

i want at least 4 wins this half

[cosmic vapor]

fucking hell

that shouldn’t be happening

[sage pike]

Okay buddy we can hope but also miracles don't happen

[wide trellis]

Here you started dreaming

[cosmic vapor]

ok at least 2 more

in the current level of car that’s what someone of his level should be asked

[wide trellis]

No more than 1

[cosmic vapor]

max will be able to do at least 5 wins this half

and the redbull is pretty close to ferrari

[stiff bough]

the current level of car that charles has can't even get on the podium

so

[cosmic vapor]

alonso won

why can’t leclerc

[sage pike]

Is it really that slow?

[sage pike]

What

???

[stiff bough]

last I checked, the Ferrari's Alonso drove in 2010 and 2012, were a lot better than the current SF-24.

[cosmic vapor]

yeah but

[sage pike]

Different regulations, but then again ferrari have fallen off severely

[cosmic vapor]

well he almost won in what 2014 before danny took the win

leclerc should be that level

and that car was

[stiff bough]

danny took 3 wins that year

[cosmic vapor]

alonso was leading a race that’s all i remember mate and then danny took it

[stiff bough]

yeah he was never really in the fight for the win at Hungary..

[cosmic vapor]

oh

well leclerc should be winning

[stiff bough]

I mean he ended up in that position of course, but he never had the pace to fight for it

and how do you expect leclerc to win if the car is not capable of winning

you can't perform miracles, you can only extract what the car is capable of doing

[cosmic vapor]

because i think he’s an exceptional driver on or close to the level of max

do you think max would win in the sf24

[stiff bough]

No.

[cosmic vapor]

god what happened to ferrari 😭

[sage pike]

A lot apparently

[cosmic vapor]

every year

[stiff bough]

He's having a hard time winning in his RB20, which is currently still better than that Ferrari

So no, I don't think Max would win if he got put into an even worse car.

[sage pike]

I'm getting frustrated for max

[cosmic vapor]

idk man i had js hoped for him to hold more position in spa

p2 at the least

[sage pike]

This is like hoping for Zhou to get into top 10, his car is the worst on the grid by far and there are drivers far better than him

[cosmic vapor]

bruh crazy comparison

leclerc is on the level of max and hamilton or close to it anyway

[sage pike]

Not even

Close

😭

[stiff bough]

P2 would've meant finishing ahead of Lewis, who was significantly faster the entire race

[cosmic vapor]

ok well he’s top 3 on the grid

[cosmic vapor]

i mean post dsq

[sage pike]

Right now even George russel edges out Charles

[stiff bough]

Oscar was in P3 so I don't see how that would work either

[cosmic vapor]

what the fuck

[stiff bough]

and Oscar was even faster than Hamilton in clear air

[cosmic vapor]

yk

you might be right

leclerc is seeming pretty shit to my eyes today

[sage pike]

Oscar deserves more credit than he's given

[cosmic vapor]

instagram has been throwing reel after reel of him crashing or getting overtaken by sainz or some shitter like lando

[stiff bough]

I think you're just not managing expectations.

[sage pike]

Lando isn't some "shitter" but he's also not the best

[cosmic vapor]

leclerc is better than lando

this is known right

[stiff bough]

He could be better

[cosmic vapor]

wha

[stiff bough]

Well they've never raced each other in junior formula, and Lando was never teammates with him

[sage pike]

Put them in equal machinery and whod win

[cosmic vapor]

idk alonso

[sage pike]

Carlos and lando on the other hand, and didn't lando prove to be better than him

[stiff bough]

Not consistently.

However, Lando was only in his second year.

[raven wagon]

No he lost to Carlos in both 2019 and 2020

[cosmic vapor]

great so leclerc is shit shit i thought he was shit but he’s shit shit

what the shit 😭

anyways

[stiff bough]

I don't think anyone said that.

[cosmic vapor]

can’t wait for zandvoort!!

let’s go p5!!!!! maybe we can beat haas this race

[sage pike]

Oh, Carlos supremacy ig!

[austere pagoda]

bruh

[winged dagger]

he’s a good driver i’d say behind max, alonso, lewis and charles only

charles is only a tad bit better

he deserves a better car

not williams

[sage pike]

You mean Carlos 😭

[winged dagger]

yeah carlos deserves a better car than williams

should’ve been carlos who gets the merc seat and kimi to williams

[sage pike]

Yes!

[winged dagger]

bc putting a rookie into a merc is crazy

but hey max was put into red bull first szn

but hes no max imo

with his performances in f2

[sage pike]

He was in Torro rosso first

[cosmic vapor]

leclerc only a tad bit better than sainz

😢

embarrassing

[stray axle]

it’s rawe ceek boys

[stiff bough]

I think his performances this year have been pretty good all things considered.

Prema are having a bad year and you can see that very clearly.

[snow swan]

Who yall thinking gonna win?

Personally I hope either Max or Fernando or Daniel but we might never see another Daniel win again

[analog stag]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-meme-i-win-discord-kanye-memes-gif-23795180

[stiff bough]

Probably McLaren.

[clever grotto]

i hope max 2 but its probably going to be mclaren

[snow swan]

I really hope not McLaren

Piastri is still fine

But i do not like Lando

[clever grotto]

ohh whys that

[snow swan]

i find lando such a overrated driver plus mclaren has been the team ive never liked

[clever grotto]

aha okay thats valid ive always liked lando but recently i started to dislike him

but i still think hes a good driver but piastri is not far off which says a lot about piastri too

[snow swan]

Piastri has loads of potential

He might pass Lando in points by end of the season

[clever grotto]

i do think lando is better in the races tho

[snow swan]

He is really consistent in his placements

[clever grotto]

yes thats true hes deffo world championship material

[snow swan]

He is like Kimi basically

[clever grotto]

yesss lol

but i like that about him

[snow swan]

I really hope they fire checo

Red Bull is gonna loose the constructer championship bc of him

McLaren is definitely gonna win constructer championship if Checo does not step up

[clever grotto]

yes i agree i dont understand why they kept him based on his results

i think they didnt want to take the risk

[snow swan]

Mad Max and Smooth Operator in one team would have been so cool

[clever grotto]

i agree

its a shame that sainz goes to williams hes way better then that

[snow swan]

Hopefully for 2026 they bring in Sainz to Red Bull

He is honestly better than Leclerc imo

[clever grotto]

yea id say hes more consistent which is important leclerc just makes silly mistakes sometimes that are so unnecessary

[snow swan]

Very true

He started Pole in Belgium but got 4th

Which is really dumb for Leclerc

[clever grotto]

yes but the car isnt the greatest

[snow swan]

Plus i wont accept Lewis being the winner of Belgium

George deserved that win

[clever grotto]

checo started 2nd i think and ended up 7th/8th?

[snow swan]

I was so mad when they dsq him

[clever grotto]

yea its sad

[snow swan]

Yeah

[clever grotto]

and based on that race red bull decided to keep him smh

[snow swan]

Fr

[clever grotto]

since when are u watching f1?

[snow swan]

I genuinely think Ricciardo can perform better then checo

[snow swan]

2014

[clever grotto]

yes i think so too but i dont think that daniel will go on to win easily

[clever grotto]

oh damnn

[snow swan]

True but then daniel can at least help Max get the constructer championship

Cause Checo is practically useless rn

[clever grotto]

yes hes not helping at all

[snow swan]

The last good race for Checo was Miami

[clever grotto]

since monaco he has been performing badly

[snow swan]

Since Imola

[clever grotto]

i hope for his own sake that he will do well in zandvoort

[snow swan]

Genuinely

[clever grotto]

mhm so fingers crossed

im going to zandvoort this weekend so im excited

[snow swan]

Damnn

Thats my dream track to go

Im going to Singapore and Abu Dhabi so im excited

[clever grotto]

thats amazinggg

id like to go there 2 but thats gonna be a long trip for me

[snow swan]

Abu Dhabi gonna be emotional

[clever grotto]

oh really?

[clever grotto]

yea last race of the season

[snow swan]

zandvoort is my fav track lol

[snow swan]

Especially since Lewis is leaving Mercedes and Carlos is leaving Ferrari

[clever grotto]

oh yes ofc

[snow swan]

And possibly Daniel and Valterri retiring

[clever grotto]

id like to be there too

[clever grotto]

:/

[clever grotto]

ohh makes sensee

its my first grand prix ever so i have no clue what its gonna be like

[snow swan]

I heard Zhou might be retiring as well

[snow swan]

mine was back in 2017 it was really cool bc i went to paddock

At the Sepang circuit

[clever grotto]

ohh thats cooll

sepang circuit im not sure where that is

[snow swan]

Malaysia

[clever grotto]

oh yea ofc

[snow swan]

2017 was the last year before they retired that track so yeah

[clever grotto]

that track has to be back on the calendar

[snow swan]

one of the best tracks frfr

[clever grotto]

well you picking the right races to go too

[clever grotto]

100%

[snow swan]

heard they might bring it back for 2026

[clever grotto]

oh really that would be great

they need to add some different tracks to the calendar

and remove some cus there are a lot already

[snow swan]

Yeah

One they should remove is Austin

They do not need 3 USA Tracks

[clever grotto]

ow why i like that track

[clever grotto]

truee

but i like the track in austin

las vegas turned out to be a great race so i cant say much about that

[snow swan]

miami is kinda shit as well

[clever grotto]

miami should prolly go

[snow swan]

So i dont mind miami being removed

Baku is another one as well

Its not that memorable

[clever grotto]

yea true

[snow swan]

and the qatar one

[clever grotto]

do you like the street tracks or the old school ones

[clever grotto]

qatar is horrible

[snow swan]

old school tracks

but marina bay and monaco track is an exception

[snow swan]

they are good

[clever grotto]

yes i agree

i like Singapore 2 but there not a lot of overtaking

[snow swan]

True

[clever grotto]

any driver that surprised you so far this season?

[molten briar]

RYAN REYNOLDS TF YOU DOING HERE BUDDY

[snow swan]

idk

[snow swan]

definitely george russell

[clever grotto]

W

[snow swan]

i did not expect him to win in Austria

I was thinking it was either Max or Lando

[clever grotto]

yea same but max and lando went at it😭

[snow swan]

Truee

[lilac carbon]

W

[clever grotto]

lolll

[snow swan]

Im sad my boy sargeant is gonna be gone

[lilac carbon]

I live in Abu Dhabi but the tickets are so expensive I can't go 😭

[clever grotto]

i love max but i feel like he was at fault there

[lilac carbon]

It's gonna be one of the most memorable races bc of all the 2025 changes

[snow swan]

i knew it was gonna be memorable so i didnt give a shit abt the price

[lilac carbon]

Ah fairs

[clever grotto]

lmaoo fair enough

[snow swan]

tbh for me lando

[clever grotto]

ohh interesting

why u think its landos fault

[snow swan]

but i mean ppl have different opinions so yeah

[clever grotto]

mhm and thats fine right

im just curious

[snow swan]

i thought it was landos fault for me because he was pushing too much

but i can see why u think it was max’s fault as well so yeah

[clever grotto]

i agree i think in the first part of the fight lando was pushing to much but the final contact that they had was imo maxs fault

but oh well

[snow swan]

True

[clever grotto]

everyone makes mistakes

[snow swan]

George got the last laugh with the win💀

[clever grotto]

frrrrrrr

whos ur fav driver

im guessing verstappen

[snow swan]

i think u can tell

[snow swan]

yeah

but i love fernando and carlos as well

[cyan gust]

Everyones saying max is gonna win

Cuz its his home race

No way hes winning

[snow swan]

why?

[clever grotto]

same hereee

[clever grotto]

i mean max always has something extra but tbh i think its gonna be mclaren they are just faster

[cyan gust]

Its too biased

[clever grotto]

if its gonna rain max has a very good chance of winning

[cyan gust]

I guarantee george wins

[snow swan]

i mean ppl did say lewis is gonna win silverstone and he did win

[clever grotto]

oh well that took a different turn

[cyan gust]

Well there have been alot of home race wins

Like charles in monaco

[clever grotto]

so far max has won at zandvoort tho

but his car isnt as good

[snow swan]

i mean the ferrari wasnt good and Charles won

[cyan gust]

Max is still not winning

I mean he has half the wins of this season but still

[snow swan]

Well lets see then

[clever grotto]

why are you so convinced

[warm kestrel]

mclaren is winning unless they screw something up

[clever grotto]

yea i agree w that

i wouldnt say mercedes would win tho

[snow swan]

imagine if logan sargeant wins💀

[clever grotto]

LOL

[cold solar]

rawe ceek time to watch checo unravel his own career

[clever grotto]

hmmm

i hope checo does well

[cold solar]

we are counting on perez p19 out in q1 and him taking out all other 18 cars in front leaving logan sargeant only then

[snow swan]

i remember one hamilton fan said that verstappen was at fault for 2021 Silverstone

[cold solar]

average hamilton fan

other than me tho

lewis coulda kept to the inside a bit more tbh

[clever grotto]

Ww

[clever grotto]

waiting for that to happen

[frail juniper]

logan sergeant the goat

[clever grotto]

frr

i rlly hope he will get a good result this season like a p5/p6

[frail juniper]

top 3 would be goat🗿

nah but fr

i expect mclaren to be pretty good here

especially piastri

[snow swan]

i think there is like 5 drivers retiring this season

magnussen,zhou,bottas,danny,logan

[frail juniper]

yea

[clever grotto]

gonna miss Danny

[clever grotto]

yea same

[snow swan]

and bottas tbh

[winged dagger]

in Zandvoort? definitely Max

unless he DNFs

[clever grotto]

yess true

[clever grotto]

hopefully

Cus McLaren as a better pace

[winged dagger]

its Max Verstappen

he can probablt win in his home race

Dududududududu Max Verstappen

[clever grotto]

I really hope so cus I’m a max fan

[jade mural]

Congrats @clever grotto, you're now on lap 5

[clever grotto]

why u so convinceddd

[winged dagger]

Zandvoort is usually Max’s race + I think he can still pull through with this car

Max is still good

[clever grotto]

yes I agree he’s the best on the grid rn imo

[clever grotto]

let’s hope so

[regal needle]

Checo will have a New Race Engineer

Bono will NOT BE GOING TO FERRARI WITH LEWIS

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/hamilton-engineer-bonnington-to-stay-with-mercedes-f1-in-expanded-role/10646176/

[cyan saffron]

Bono and Kimi next year🔥

[raven wagon]

I think Bono is alr impressed by Kimi

[cyan saffron]

from 1 GOAT to the next

[raven wagon]

Think he was also Michael's performance engineer

[pure aurora]

bono my tyres are gone - kimi

[regal needle]

Wonder who will be Lewis Race Engineer in Ferrari

[cyan saffron]

Adami probably

[regal needle]

Who knows when we hear more ahead the Grand Prix Weekend

Just expecting Mercedes to sign Kimi Antonelli for Real

[hushed olive]

Imagine Xavi being Lewis's engineer 💀

[river mango]

If that happens Sir Lewis Hamilton is cooked

[cyan saffron]

We are checking. We will come back to you.

[river mango]

But if Lecrer whould have Xavi as engineer he is also cooked

[lilac carbon]

isn't xavi leaving

or left already idk

I don't keep up that well

[polar nebula]

What are yalls Zandvoort top 3 predictions I'm curious

[cyan saffron]

Xavi is now in an other position within Ferrari I think.

[lilac carbon]

ah okay

[cyan saffron]

He definitely isn't a race engineer anymore.

[meager ridge]

wont be able to watch the first race after the summer break 😔

the misery

[wet sequoia]

I have Valorant finals followed by Zandvoort

Me and my couch are going to get very familiar on Sunday

[sly badger]

Zandvoort is totally a low speed track right?

[cyan saffron]

Not really, it's more a middle to high speed track.

[wet sequoia]

It’s not flat though

There are a lot of ups and downs

[sly badger]

So,it's a track who suits McLaren,Mercedes and RedBull more

[cyan saffron]

yeah and banked corners

[sly badger]

Time to see if the Ferrari will finally improve with the floor and suspension upgrades

[wet sequoia]

Ferrari upgrades are due in Monza not Zand

[sly badger]

https://lastwordonsports.com/motorsports/2024/08/19/ferrari-prepare-crucial-upgrades-for-dutch-gp/

https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-ferrari-la-sf-24-ci-mette-il-carico-per-uscire-dallincertezza/10645722/

"Diego Tondi's aerodynamicists would have identified the area of the red car that generated the instabilities of the rear axle, making the SF-24 suddenly "nervous" and, therefore, difficult to control at the limit and, despite the stop imposed by the FIA, in Maranello they would have managed to make those changes to the floor that should give the drivers the confidence to aspire to some results more in line with the team's expectations."

"The one that leaves for Holland is a Ferrari that remains very buttoned up in making predictions, but the fact of turning the flows towards the diffuser in a different way should ensure that aerodynamic downforce essential to face a difficult circuit with its banked corners 3 and 14 that require a specific setup because if they limit the lateral effort of the tires, significantly increase vertical thrust."

Hard to know if they'll really bring upgrades for this weekend or not

[wet sequoia]

Must have moved it up

After Spa they said it was coming in Monza

[pure aurora]

max
oscar
russel

[snow swan]

Lewis, Max, Norris

[thin berry]

Is this a reliable source because last I heard Ferrari wasnt bringing any upgrades to Zandvoort

[snow swan]

probably yeah

they should do what mercedes are doing and bring upgrades every race week

[lyric fjord]

It is finally race weekkkk

[clever grotto]

1 max
2 piastri
3 Hamilton

[remote knoll]

thanks for that

[grave cosmos]

Red Bull getting nerfed

[long rampart]

even harder

[stone topaz]

no F2/F3

[cyan saffron]

Yes, Zandvoort is only F1 and F1 Academy.

[winged dagger]

Max Lewis Oscae

[cyan saffron]

F2 and F3 return next week in Monza.

[winged dagger]

What’s the fastest track ever?

in 2024

Austria?

Jeddah is pretty fast as well

[cyan saffron]

In terms of speed or lap time?

lap time Austria

Speed I think Jeddah.

[winged dagger]

how many laps is Austri? 70?

[cyan saffron]

71

[tribal vapor]

[neat latch]

Yeah, it's not a secret anyway

I just don't get the hate for it

It's literally THE orange

[compact cove]

I love the mclaren orange

[neat latch]

Some people prefer the pre 2022 shade

I prefer the current shade

[compact cove]

I do too. I like it slightly darker

[neat latch]

And there's the people who straight up just don't like it

[winged dagger]

Friday especially, wind gusts of up to 75 km/h possible

[winged dagger]

might be an inters qualifying then, whens the next sprint?

[narrow garnet]

yeah, cota

[cyan saffron]

yes

COTA, Sao Paulo, Qatar are the remaining Sprints.

[winged dagger]

last sprint was Austria right

[cyan saffron]

yes

[winged dagger]

I think Max will win Zandvoort, Charles to win Monza, Carlos to win Singapore

Baku probably Lewis

[proven leaf]

Can't Friday come earlier

[winged dagger]

2 days

[karmic token]

If you move to New Zealand?

[proven leaf]

Can't wait

For fp1

[winged dagger]

To continue, COTA Oscar sprint George, Las Vegas Lewis, Mexico Max, Qatar Max and Abu Dhabi Lewis

My prediction

[proven leaf]

[winged dagger]

Winter break will be worse

2 months

[proud grotto]

pride can be year round 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

[snow swan]

[sly badger]

High chance of rain for qualifying

[polar nebula]

server icon is really pretty actually

[wooden wing]

Real

[polar nebula]

man I missed f1

[charred mantle]

I apologize but lewis is not winning another one, maximum 3 race wins n thats it

[fading hill]

how significant is the dutch gp

[charred mantle]

wym?

[fading hill]

like

does it hae some good history or smtn

[charred mantle]

oh

[fading hill]

like spa, monza, indy500

[charred mantle]

im not rlly sure but it has had some good races

in the past

[stiff bough]

can you send the link to this account?

I'd recommend you block it as well, just spreading misinformation.

[stiff bone]

not a max fan but max will most definitely win

[remote knoll]

most definitely?

[stiff bone]

probably

most probable

[spare heart]

that is if ferrari improves their car

[lilac carbon]

I don't see ferrari winning 2/3 of the coming races

[spare heart]

and by saying improve i mean improve by a LOT. since they're currently miles ahead of the mcl and merc

[spare heart]

yeah me either

i just hope that carlos wins just 1 more race before the end of the season. it will probably be his last win ever

[lilac carbon]

I think max for ned and ita and one of the mclarens for sing

[lilac carbon]

yeah same

shame they're kicking him out

[spare heart]

yuppppp

ngl i kinda feel bad for max atm

[lilac carbon]

sainz is 10 years younger and a little close to as skilled (in current form I guess) as hamiton so I don't see the reason why the move is other than publicity

[spare heart]

like i wanted him win streak to end obviously but it kinda feels sad that he's giving his all in that car and he's actually giving the mcls and mercs competition when in worse machinery

[lilac carbon]

yeah and people are still dissing him saying he can't do well sithout the best car when he has the most points in the last 5 races 😭

[spare heart]

yeah tbh. i remember his defending against hamilton in austria when the mercs were much faster than the ferraris

[lilac carbon]

post appendix removal form 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️

[spare heart]

REAL

[sharp veldt]

pfp ate

[spare heart]

the thing is w sainz is that even though he's like getting older, it doesn't really affect him yet - especially that it's racing and not a sport that requires running or whatever, so even though he's turning 30 in 9 days, he's still in his greatest form. but with hamilton, he's far from his prime, sainz still had much to offer tbh

[spare heart]

FRRRRR

[spare heart]

i really really love hamilton though, but idk why it feels wrong for him to leave merc. it just doesn't sound right and i'm only a new fan to the sport. i wouldn't even comprehend it if i were one of the older fans

[lilac carbon]

yeah real 😭😭 and with sainz being higher up in the drivers leaderboard with a worse car (from what i know) i don't see a reason for him to have been kicked out and it's so sad that he went all the way down to one of the backmarker teams

alonso is still okay at 42 so sainz has (provided nothing goes wrong or he doesn't retire) at least 7-8 years whereas Hamilton is on the verge of retirement in less than half a decade

[lilac carbon]

yeah true especially considering all they've done together

[spare heart]

i mean i could be biased bc he's my fav driver but mannnnn.. he really does have a lot to give. and it's understandable for him to be replaced by a 7 time world champ (8 time for the team lh fans not to bite me), but it would've been so much better if there were other teams for him to sign for, but from a ferrari to a williams matee

[spare heart]

FRRRR

[torpid pine]

Nando

[spare heart]

did you see the average race placement the f1 acc posted? sainz was number 2 and he's in the 4th best car bro.

[spare heart]

it's kinda funny bc everyday i remind myself of that LMAOO

[spare heart]

exactly

[lilac carbon]

yeah the only thing hamilton is on is legacy status imo 😭😭 it's like barcelona signing a 37-year-old messi or real signing a 39-year-old ronaldo, theyre good but not as insane as before

[lilac carbon]

well not the ONLY thing but legacy is a very contributing factor

[lilac carbon]

warra driver

🔥🔥 top 3 personalities

[lilac carbon]

REAL

[torpid pine]

Nando should be world champion for ever,

He instantly wins

When there's a new season

[lilac carbon]

it's crazy to think that in the '30s, it's likely that half the grid will still be kicking

[lilac carbon]

I agree

give a driver the amount of points per race as their age

[spare heart]

EXACTLY

[torpid pine]

Yes

[lilac carbon]

so nando wins always 🔥🔥

[torpid pine]

Forever

[lilac carbon]

he's so good 😭😭

[torpid pine]

After all he's a rookie

[lilac carbon]

i wouldn't even mind checo getting the sack and him at rb

[lilac carbon]

but maybe he's too competitive for ver

[torpid pine]

Checo is bad cause he puts too much pressure on himself

[lilac carbon]

EXACTLY

[lilac carbon]

the fact that he is such a legend whilst being a rookie is a testament to his potential

[torpid pine]

Well..

[lilac carbon]

likely yeah 😭

[torpid pine]

I mean he did win from P20

So

[lilac carbon]

he's a driver i don't hate but these performances are shambolic

[torpid pine]

Fr

[lilac carbon]

real

[torpid pine]

Which is absolutely devious

[lilac carbon]

mf did better in an alpine than a rb crazy

[torpid pine]

that's even worse lmfaoo

I feel bad for chequito

[lilac carbon]

same

[torpid pine]

Checo is just a silly fella

[lilac carbon]

he needs to get his shit together from zandvoort 😭😭

[torpid pine]

Real

[stiff bough]

he drove an alpine?

[torpid pine]

Logan Sergeant will win the Dutch GP

[lilac carbon]

i think so idk his jersey says BWT

[torpid pine]

Racingpoint

[stiff bough]

.....

[regal needle]

No wonder why Red Bull choose to keep after Summer Break

[lilac carbon]

I agree 100%

[stiff bough]

BWT didn't sign with Alpine until 2022..

[lilac carbon]

im not the best with F1 history 🔥🔥

[lilac carbon]

oh riiight

[regal needle]

So who's gonna take that Top 10 Start?

[torpid pine]

RACING POINT OMGGGG

GRRR

HE DROVE FOR RACING POINT

AKA FORCE INDIA

[regal needle]

And known now as Aston Martin

[torpid pine]

Ye

[stiff bough]

aka one of the biggest fraud organizations

[torpid pine]

Aston Martin is sad

Cause last year they made a PODIUM car

But this year...

[torpid pine]

2025 leak for Aston Martin

[regal needle]

Fernando Alonso made all that Podium Last Year for Aston Martin as a Successful Season for him

[torpid pine]

I mean ofc

They only have 1 driver

[paper socket]

Ok what is bwt and what is racing point and what is force India and why is bwt on alpines car and is alpine Renault?

Sorry all this confuses me

[torpid pine]

😧

You don't know??

[paper socket]

I am not aware

Pls tell me

[torpid pine]

You're a F1 fan since..?

I mean

Nevermind

I'm a march 2024 F1 fan

So I can't be talking

So what history do you know?

[paper socket]

Since like September of this year 💀 cause I met this girl and I forced myself to like f1 cause she did. Then I actually became addicted to f1 😭

[torpid pine]

September??

It's August

[paper socket]

Like bwt what is that and what is racing point and why is bwt on alpines car

[paper socket]

Yes since September

[torpid pine]

You're from the future??

[paper socket]

No September that happened already 💀

[torpid pine]

September?

Of 2024?

[paper socket]

September 2023

[torpid pine]

Oh

[cyan saffron]

Well, that's last year then.

[paper socket]

Are you geeking bro

[torpid pine]

You said THIS year

[paper socket]

Why would anyone refer to themselves as a fan from the future 💀

[torpid pine]

Boom

[paper socket]

I meant like school year 😭

[cyan saffron]

oh

[paper socket]

It’s ok tho I’m tweaking

[torpid pine]

It's already a second school year

[paper socket]

September didn’t start yet

Bro nvm my school starts in September

[torpid pine]

For me it's August start and may end

[paper socket]

Oh dang we start September and June end

[torpid pine]

Hm

Hollup

Afk

[paper socket]

Ok wait so alpine is bwt

Which is racing point

Since when did Siri have an answer 💀

[patent crystal]

bwt is the title sponsor

not a team or manufacturer

[paper socket]

Like oracle Red Bull racing ?

[patent crystal]

yes

oracle isnt a team

its the title sponsor

[paper socket]

Oh 💀 that makes sende

Ok so alpine is the team, bwt is the sponsor and alpine is the brand of Renault

[patent crystal]

yes

[paper socket]

And bwt was racing point

[patent crystal]

BUT

[paper socket]

Oh but?

[patent crystal]

force india

became racing point

became aston martin

alpine was formerly renault

who bought benetton in 2000 to get onto the grid

BWT hopped teams from aston martin to alpine

[paper socket]

So our current Aston Martin team was force India initially

[patent crystal]

yes

force india bought spyker in 2007

[paper socket]

And then bwt left Aston and came to Renault which uses the alpine brand

[patent crystal]

these guys

[paper socket]

So alpine is a works team then

[patent crystal]

iirc BWT came to renault AFTER it became alpine

[paper socket]

Yeah bro I was like 1 my time doesn’t go that far back 💀

[patent crystal]

it was still with aston at the time

[patent crystal]

LMAOOO

[paper socket]

Ah

[patent crystal]

yes

they use a renault engine

[paper socket]

Yeah

[paper socket]

Weren’t they gonna do some shit with Ferrari?

[patent crystal]

they were considering abandoning renault for mecedes a bit ago but it seems that fizzled out

[paper socket]

Also thanks this makes a lot more sense now cause I seen the logos everywhere and people talk about it and I’m lost

[patent crystal]

yeyeye

[paper socket]

Oh yeah

[paper socket]

Preciate the history lesson bro

[patent crystal]

course

[paper socket]

We gotta get an f1 history class

Ap f1 history

I’d be a scholar

[patent crystal]

obvious solution is to just watch formula one from the first season

duh

[paper socket]

Fr 💀

[late tide]

technically aston martin is a new team

or rather, racing point was a new team

racing point could only buy the assets of force india so they had to compete under a "new" team but it was essentially the same team

force india was spyker, then before that midland

and the team was originally jordan

some of the jordan liveries were really beautiful

[snow swan]

What happened

[wary forge]

Bring back the orange arrows

Aka arrows international

[barren python]

ef 1

[jade mural]

Congrats @barren python, you're now on lap 5

[dapper plover]

yeah they didn't buy the actual entry

[hushed olive]

and before spyker it was jordan right ?

[patent crystal]

i think so

nope

it was Midland

they were the ones who bought jordan

so it was jordan - midland - spyker - force india - racing point - aston martin

[karmic token]

Who will Andretti buy?

[remote knoll]

fair enough on these tho

i didnt know crashing on your own from the lead was better than getting poor strategy

[cosmic vapor]

i mean yeah it was a mistake and it was bad

wtv

[echo igloo]

Bahrain 2020 was scary

[remote knoll]

i'd argue for george it'd be sakhir 2020

[echo igloo]

as fuck

[echo igloo]

yeah

was he going for his first win or was sakhir supposed to be his 2nd

[remote knoll]

first win

cuz he was still in williams 💀

[raven wagon]

It was his first race in race winning f1 machinery

[echo igloo]

oh that's so sad

checo stole it with a last to first

[remote knoll]

it's more like mercedes lost it

[raven wagon]

Yeah Merc messed up the pitstops

And then George had a slow puncture

[remote knoll]

and checo picked it up

[echo igloo]

George came home p2 then right?

[remote knoll]

p9

i think

[echo igloo]

BROO

that's sad

[remote knoll]

i dont remember where bottass finished

yeah it is

[raven wagon]

That race proved George has what it takes in race winning machinery

Kinda prompted speculation whether he would drive for Merc in 2021

[vocal lynx]

Zhou?

[remote knoll]

zhou is silverstone ig

[echo igloo]

2022?

[vocal lynx]

yeah lol

[remote knoll]

Zhou is Silverstone 2022

[remote knoll]

and then had a near death experience 5 seconds after the lights went out

[hushed olive]

Forgot to put him

[cyan saffron]

actually Monaco 2021

[remote knoll]

true

[cosmic vapor]

good point

idk theres a lot to choose from 😭

fuckin hell

god please dont add zandvoort 24 to that list

its actually so stupid to see ur driver take pole only to be overtaken in a lap by some rusty guy and some aussie

[cyan saffron]

I also would say for George it would be Sakhir 2020.

[cosmic vapor]

oh my lord yes

[remote knoll]

yeah

Losing your first win like that is far more awful imo

[cyan saffron]

yeah

[remote knoll]

and to only finish like p9 😭

[cyan saffron]

It was supposed to be the rise of a new star.

[remote knoll]

in the fastest car in f1 history

[sudden sluice]

Duturu

[remote knoll]

instead it supernovad shortly after

[sudden sluice]

Uhh

[cyan saffron]

and a win on debut with Mercedes

Instead it was a pure mess and just heartbreaking.

[remote knoll]

and then wouldnt win until 3 seasons later

2*

[cyan saffron]

yeah

well, still his debut season with Mercedes

[remote knoll]

true

[cyan saffron]

But it took longer than it should.

[winged dagger]
