[unreal folio]

brits r somehow naturally good at racing idk 😭

[karmic geyser]

2027 could be Nico’s year trust me on this one

[unreal folio]

nico needs a redemption time

[dusk gorge]

nigel mansell, lando norris, lewis hamilton, sir jackie stewart, jim clark, james hunt, etc.

so many good drivers from the United Kingdom

[unreal folio]

yup!

[barren charm]

All legends.

And then there's Lando

[unreal folio]

landos js

just chillin on the girl waiting for that fire to be consistent

grill sorry

thats my cue for energy 😭

[rain moss]

Ayo

[dusk gorge]

true. lando is a good driver, but the rest are true legends. that's what i'm saying. they are all good drivers. i shouldn't have included lando, but i was speaking on the good drivers and not just particularly legends

[barren charm]

Lando indeed isn't bad anyway.

[unreal folio]

i also forget albons a brit till i see his height 😭

he js reps thailand

[dusk gorge]

he's half english, half thai

[unreal folio]

yeah

solid 50/50

[barren charm]

Also Colin McRae

[autumn ledge]

The ghost of aryton senna can take that Sauber to points ya think? /s

[dusk gorge]

but bears the thai flag for his mum i believe

[unreal folio]

correct yes

[stiff venture]

No, cars today are harder to drive

[dusk gorge]

if only

[autumn ledge]

Yeah albon is half Brit but he looks full Thai to me

[barren charm]

Colin McRae was a bit crash prone but he was a beast.

[dusk gorge]

agreed

[unreal folio]

his height is brit but looks are more or less thai ig

[karmic geyser]

i do bnot know how thai people are suppoesed to look but i can confirm

[barren charm]

Although Colin was scottish.. Not sure if that counts as brit.

[unreal folio]

well if we compare russell and albon

[autumn ledge]

Honestly race and shit are artificial constructs

[dusk gorge]

United Kingdom is the Kingdom of Britain in my eyes, so I reckon so

[dusk gorge]

I did include Sir Jackie Stewart and Jim Clark

[unreal folio]

has he ever modeled for anything outside of f1? genuinely curious on that

[dusk gorge]

Tom Pryce too, great driver him until his unfortunate death whilst racing at Kyalami in the 70s

[dusk gorge]

who? albon?

[barren charm]

Another good racing driver was Kris Meeke........... Said no one ever

[unreal folio]

russell

[dusk gorge]

I'm not too sure, but I believe he may have

[unreal folio]

i could defo see him modeling

[dusk gorge]

same to be honest

he's got the height, face, and fashion sense for it

[unreal folio]

thats what im sayin

[autumn ledge]

How would Colin McRae do on the modern f1 grid

[dusk gorge]

Fairly well, I'd say

[autumn ledge]

Is there a reason he preferred rallying to flat paved racing

I’m not a big rally fan except knowing that he’s the goat in rallying more or less much like Tony hawk is to skating

[dusk gorge]

Maybe the higher risk factor or maybe he preferred to do offroading. I'm not too sure, but he might've wanted to carry on outside of single seater racing because he preferred to do the 4 door cars and etc.

i'm not too entirely sure though

May have to ask John Catholic

He'll probably know

Or Kanata, he seems rather educated

[autumn ledge]

Who would do the best in rallying of the current grid

I think Magnussen can thrive on the chaos

[unreal folio]

carlos 🤓 (im joking i have no idea anything ab rallying except his dad did it!!)

[stiff bough]

Bottas already does rallying

[unreal folio]

oh cute

[dusk gorge]

didn't know that

[rough niche]

prob bottas or nico maybe

[unreal folio]

multitalented ppl

[dusk gorge]

racing comes in many forms 🤷

[autumn ledge]

Would rallying annoy tf out of verstappen lol

[unreal folio]

true that

[dusk gorge]

I reckon he'd be fast

[stiff bough]

Idk... he has no dirt experience

[autumn ledge]

There’s a lot more unpredictability in rallying than he’s ostensibly used to

In terms of bumps

[dusk gorge]

Yeah, I suppose

[karmic geyser]

halo

[autumn ledge]

Can’t imagine he likes porpoising in f1 cars much

[unreal folio]

idk that car balance rn 😭

kangaroos in the making

[dusk gorge]

I just think that he'd have some natural pace, but he wouldn't do too well

[karmic geyser]

worlds gonna be more depressing when our sargeant role gets replaced with colapintos 😔

[rough niche]

they gotta leave the sargoat one

[unreal folio]

lowk colapinto didnt look too rushed up in the intro

[stiff bough]

nah the sargeant role will stay till the end of the year

[karmic geyser]

is the new intro out?

[unreal folio]

breezed him in there

yes

[stiff bough]

we'll just add colapinto's alongside it

[karmic geyser]

yippie

[rough niche]

lets goo

[karmic geyser]

LETS GOO

[unreal folio]

[autumn ledge]

Gucky!

[unreal folio]

im crying

what is that ocon

[autumn ledge]

Will you keep the Zhou role once he leaves F1

Please

I want to keep that role

[unreal folio]

limited edition role

🔥

[dusk gorge]

what about sargeant

or ric

or bottas?

[barren charm]

Ahh this anime

The russian girl one.

[dusk gorge]

bottas could be going

[rough niche]

haha

[stiff venture]

i have to fuel my own delusions somtimes. no one else will

[barren charm]

Memories

But no it isn't

[dusk gorge]

i don't want bottas to go though

[barren charm]

Ok so if i put both roles the McLaren colour disappears

Welp

[dusk gorge]

i like williams

albon is a great driver

better than most on the grid i'd say

just a shitbox of a car unfortunately

[sly badger]

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/astonishing-speed-data-antonelli-crash/10649331/

[dreamy sparrow]

Williams do be a very good team

[unreal folio]

theyve got a good TP id say too

[barren charm]

Tbh

Everyone likes Williams

Except Logan fans.

[unreal folio]

course

[rough niche]

exactly

i still like williams

but vowles

no

[dusk gorge]

WHEN I SEE VOWELS

he's getting

a handshake

[stiff bough]

You not reading it is why you think it's fucked up.

[autumn ledge]

Colapinto doing alright actually despite my reservations

[stiff bough]

It's a clickbait article, the actual contents of it is Vowles completely reasonable take

[unreal folio]

yeah

[stiff bough]

Do please learn to IGNORE headlines

they aren't meant to tell you the truth

[autumn ledge]

Vowles should just change his last name to Vowels man….

[slate loom]

Hope Lando Norris wins again

[unreal folio]

money + publicity ✨

[narrow musk]

It's gonna be a lando grand slam

[sly badger]

""So the decision is do we put Mick in the car, which I think Mick would have done a good job, or do we invest in an individual that's a part of our academy, that's done hundreds to thousands of laps in our simulator, that's driven the car, and on the data that we can see from how he's performing, who's making significant steps?

"I think both would fall into a category of good and not special. I think we have to be straightforward about this. Mick isn't special, he would just be good."

Vowles continued, adding that it would be remiss for Williams not to take an academy member given the resources that have been invested into bringing younger drivers through the ranks."

[unreal folio]

see

[dusk gorge]

I, personally, disagree

[dusk gorge]

fair enough

[autumn ledge]

Are they going to fix parabolica lol before the race or qualifying

[sly badger]

You can't fix asphalt in a day

[narrow musk]

same

[simple anchor]

Guess who’s sleeping in their sim rig till next Sunday? ME!

[narrow musk]

alright

[autumn ledge]

Max Verstappen you still have the rest of this race weekend to go….

Go back to the car /j

[simple anchor]

Nah I’d win

[placid halo]

whats a grand slam

[dusk gorge]

when a driver leads every lap, gets pole, and wins a grand prix

[narrow musk]

pole position, fastest lap, win, led every lap

[dusk gorge]

and fastest lap, yes

[placid halo]

yeah i dont think thats gonna happen

especially the fastest lap

maybe pole

[narrow musk]

yh ik

but im delusional

[placid halo]

as a Ferrari fan, i understand

[unreal folio]

same

[placid halo]

im wishing for a double podium

[narrow musk]

Why does thou posses onfinite roles?

[unreal folio]

[autumn ledge]

Kimi antonelli is supposed to have been signed by now, so what’s Toto thinking?

[placid halo]

boutta pray to Allah

[dusk gorge]

albon pole incoming ❗ ❗ ❗

[narrow musk]

if they should sign sargeant

[dusk gorge]

i just like racing

[craggy zenith]

nothing different

[placid halo]

either McLaren or Ferrari take pole

[muted igloo]

I thought grand slam was finishing 1st in every session lmao

[craggy zenith]

that is a particular type of slam, i forget what it's called

[dusk gorge]

ferrari i reckon. merc looked fast tho

[narrow musk]

super grand slam?

ion even know anymore

[dusk gorge]

oh yh maybe

[placid halo]

looked fast, but on mediums Ferrari has the 2nd best pace

[craggy zenith]

grand slam (or grand chelem) is the level below that

[dusk gorge]

no one went on hards??

[craggy zenith]

something like that

[autumn ledge]

So what’s the update on haas after kmag binned the car

[placid halo]

nope

[muted igloo]

Wimbledon😭😭😭

Nah jk idk

[dusk gorge]

it's a one stop then?? or maybe soft-med-med

[craggy zenith]

i remember Daniel nearly getting one for Monaco 2018

[dusk gorge]

no clue to be honest with you

[craggy zenith]

until Max set the fastest lap in the race

[placid halo]

def a one stop, but, just like Zandvoort, could be a two stopper for someone

[narrow musk]

yh i remember

[dusk gorge]

so is it med-hard or soft-med?

[placid halo]

im just gonna pray Ferrari wont do more than one pitstop per driver

[hushed olive]

Colapinto has been already closer to albon than sargeant was in the 90% of the weekends lol

[placid halo]

basically yeah, would rather go meds hards tho, the track will be really warm and hard tyres will get grippier

[dusk gorge]

noted

[placid halo]

we need to see the same strategy masterclass from Ferrari as we did in Zandvoort 2024

[dusk gorge]

i reckon so

[unreal folio]

right

[placid halo]

we’ve got like what 3 rookies

Bearman, Antonelli and Doohan

[dusk gorge]

does franco have a contract?

[placid halo]

And Bearman is with Ocon holy shit

[dusk gorge]

kimi has no contract i thought

[placid halo]

not for 2025, but there is still one place left in a Sauber

[dusk gorge]

for theo?

[placid halo]

do we wanna pretend Mercedes has no driver for 2025 besides George tho?

[dusk gorge]

mick

vesti

logan

there's other options

[placid halo]

everything is set for Antonelli tho, 100% him next year

[narrow musk]

[narrow musk]

real

[outer venture]

Only for the rest of this season

[dusk gorge]

i thought so

[placid halo]

i may finish p20 every practice, quali and race BUT

[narrow musk]

It gives the same amount of points as sauber has

so it doesnt matter

[placid halo]

i may not crash

so i will be better than Logan already

and blue flags by like lap 3 😂🤦

[coral palm]

Sauber is actually garbage this year

[placid halo]

thats what im sayying

even if you put Verstappen in that car, there is no sight of points

[coral palm]

Bottas is carrying sauber, without him they would be at the bottom of the leaderboard to the bottom of the leaderboard without bottas's performance in fp1

the last lap effort from bottas and gasly at zandvoort was crazy tho

[coral palm]

Bottas cooked in fp1

Every channel's sauber hate, you never see anyone defending sauber cuz they got nothing to defend ☠️

[coral palm]

It’s like they want you to attack them 💀

[hushed olive]

If sauber gets removed from the team list in standings nothing would change

At this point they should replace it with a team from f2, at least it would make a difference

and I think at the end its going to be another norris-leclerc-verstappen podium

[snow swan]

are ferrari running upgrades on both cars

[snow swan]

That’s kinda where i started with my predictions then checked the race data from previous races and Sainz has always been fucking rapid around Monza even in shitty cars (for qualifying, less so in race)

[snow swan]

we are checking

[hushed olive]

F1 world destructors champion each year (2019-2024)
2019: Alex albon
2020: Romain grosjean
2021: Mick schumacher
2022: Mick schumacher
2023: Logan sargeant
2024: on contention (Sergio Pérez)

[wooden wing]

Lmao

2024 should be the safety car

[sharp inlet]

2021 was Mick?

[split bane]

Fortunately the sign is indicating Antonelli's car, otherwise i wouldn't have recognized it

[sharp inlet]

Wtf happened to the safety car anyway, brake failure?

[wooden wing]

Yuh

[hushed olive]

Yes

[sharp inlet]

Not very good advertising for Aston lmfao

[split bane]

I think also low grip in last turn

[sharp inlet]

Very helpful sign lmao

[wooden wing]

Who was the one who’s car was on fire that one time

[wooden pewter]

logan sargeantonelli

[remote knoll]

true

[sharp inlet]

Almost looked like the spin was intentional, not too sure though

[remote knoll]

if you're talking about last week that was Logan Sargeant

[wooden wing]

No it was a few years ago

[remote knoll]

oh

Romain Grosjean?

[split bane]

Grosjean?

[sharp inlet]

Grosjean's was really on fire once

[wooden wing]

What race was that

[remote knoll]

I mean Colapinto also had a moment at Parabolica

Bahrain 2020

[wooden wing]

Oh yea

That one

[remote knoll]

just low grip surface

new surface

[sharp inlet]

Oh I was talking about the safety car, nvm lol

[remote knoll]

oh my bad lmao

I think he lost his brakes

so he spun the car intentionally to slow the car down as much as possible

[sharp inlet]

Yea, looks kind of like it

[split bane]

It's weird because in the rest of the track there's so much more grip that there's graining on the tyres

[hushed olive]

Well we could consider checo for 2024 now that Logan got sacked

He doesnt have competition

[split bane]

To not forget that Maylander is the real winner of the 2022 italian GP (that ended under safety car)

[hushed olive]

And Australia 2023

[remote knoll]

did australia 2023 end under sc?

i dont recal

[hushed olive]

Yes

It got red flagged after the restart crash and then it ended behind sc

[remote knoll]

oh fuck

bro im thinking of australia 2022

my bad

[split bane]

Didn't it restarted with Sainz getting penalysed and finishing p12?

[remote knoll]

slow brain moment

[remote knoll]

i think

[split bane]

I remember almost every bad Ferrari moment from 2022 to now

[remote knoll]

real ferrari fan

[split bane]

Yeah

[split bane]

That instant 5 second penalty to Leclerc in Suzuka 2022 that served the wdc to Verstappen....

[remote knoll]

i mean he was winning it regardless

[hushed olive]

I just realized If Sainz didnt had that penalty in australia he would have finished p4 in wdc in 2023

[split bane]

Yeah but there the FIA were flash comparing to Singapore 2022 (where they have spent hours to give a reprimand to Perez)

[cyan saffron]

Nope, Bernd Mayländer said to Sky Germany that the grip wasn't an issue but it was definitely some sort of issue with the car which will get investigated by Aston.

[split bane]

Oh, ok, thanks for the info

[hushed olive]

Biggest crashes of f1 2024
1- Checo monaco
2-Sargeant zandvoort
3- Tsunoda Hungaroring
4- Russell Australia
5- Antonelli monza
6- Albon and ricciardo suzuka
7- Albon Australia
8- Zhou Saudi arabia

[ancient abyss]

Where’s Albon in Australia

[modest musk]

honestly checo and the haas' crash was bigger than sargeant's

[remote knoll]

yeah i agree

[remote knoll]

Yeah I think his crash was larger than russells

Russells crash just looked really bad because of the wheels going under the car

[primal trout]

what happened to Antonelli in Monza?

[gray vapor]

Crashed at parabolica

[remote knoll]

He overcooked the rear tires and lost the rear end into parabolica

he was pushing too hard at the beginning of the lap

[gray vapor]

he carried so much speed in

[remote knoll]

played too much f124

[wide compass]

Kimi shouldn’t be in f1 next year he is too young and will end up being the next Logan Sargent

[remote knoll]

too young?

I think Kimi will be just fine

honestly, i thought the same before this week. he has a lot of merc practice time unlike sarge, and he was putting the car on the very edge. so i think he can do really good

[stiff bough]

he did his programs

[wooden kettle]

colapinto looked alright imo

[stiff bough]

fp1 he had a moment in parabolica in the last minute, but other than that

[wooden kettle]

yeah he’s had a few tiny moments fp1/2 but he’s been fairly solid in the car actually

i wasnt sure what to expect since i dont follow f2, but he seemed to do well

[gray vapor]

What car is fastest currently in speed traps?

[wide compass]

He wasn't ready for f2 and neither for f1

[wooden kettle]

i guess we’ll see how it all plays out

[raven wagon]

Except Logan had little to no f1 experience when he was promoted to a race seat last year

Antonelli alr has all the private testing mileage driving older Merc cars

[lucid parrot]

Hello peeps

[raven wagon]

Plus hes def getting more fp1s with Merc later this season

[cosmic vapor]

what the fuck

what the fuck

[visual loom]

Prince’s Ethan’s Quali Predictions!
Pole - Lando
2 Sainz
3 Max
4 Piastri
5 Hamilton
6 Leclerc
7 Russell
8 Checo
9 Albon
10 Nico

[formal cradle]

Making leclerc fans hate me with this one

👍

[formal cradle]

LMao

[calm pilot]

not rly its how hes been doing in his last couple quals

[cosmic vapor]

yeah and he’s out qualified sainz every time

idk sainz front row and leclerc p6 doesn’t make sense leclerc is usually the better qualifier and monza i think he def will be

[rigid jetty]

naw sainz comeback is locked in, I doubt he'll let himself go without at a win after finding himself in the hell that is williams

[sudden sluice]

Ah

[hushed olive]

Antonelli crashed faster than Logan sacking news getting leaked

[wide compass]

Antonelli had roughly the same experience as Logan did, even less

[raven wagon]

No lmao Antonelli alr has countless private testing mileage with the old Merc f1 cars

Logan nvr had that

The very first time Logan ever stepped foot in an F1 car was in a fp1 session 💀

[wide compass]

He did like all f1 drivers did he did indycar at testing and old Williams he did one with Jamie Chadwick whiz I watched live

[raven wagon]

Mb it was the Abu Dhabi post season test

That was the very first time he stepped foot into a f1 car

[quaint kite]

my question is how long it's going to take antonelli to find the limit

[wide compass]

Into a 22 regulations car sure

[quaint kite]

He crashed today because the car couldn't take the speed he was carrying (according to Toto, take it with a grain of salt ofc)

[raven wagon]

No it was the 2021 car

[wide compass]

Antonelli did more testing and that’s a fact but he still need more times more testing more time in f2

[raven wagon]

Hes alr proved he could adapt from the big jump from f4 to f2

More than enough for me

Plus by getting Antonelli in next year, they have their long term prospect secured and prep him for 2026

[wide compass]

He had a shit ton of talent vey funny guy met him at Vallelunga but he ain’t ready for f1 or at least a big team like Mercedes

[raven wagon]

2025 will be like sort of a learning year for him

[wide compass]

So checo 2.0 Mercedes having one driver because the other one is too inexperienced

[raven wagon]

Or maybe Antonelli might surprise everyone

I wonder what were your thoughts when Lewis got the Mclaren drive in 2007?

Was he also inexperienced? Not ready?

He also unfortunately binned the car in Valencia testing

[wide compass]

F1 was very different back then

Lewis was really the exception to the rule not the rule

[raven wagon]

Anyway just because Antonelli crashed within 15 minutes into his fp1 debut dosent mean hes not ready

[narrow garnet]

Rookies also got all the testing in the world back then, they get almost no testing in era relevant cars now

[raven wagon]

Like I said, its reasonable to get Kimi in next year

And prep him for 2026

[wide compass]

I would have said it even if he did r crash the crash isn’t a problem

Shit happens

[raven wagon]

I dont even think Bottas or Seb are interested in a 1 year contract for Merc

[wide compass]

2025 is gonna be the closet championship in a while and you really want an unxeprice driver to lose vital points

[raven wagon]

The thought of them being a seat warmer for Antonelli just drives them away

[wide compass]

No but like Albon would yuki would Riccardo would

[raven wagon]

Albon alr extended his contract with Williams

Yuki also extended his Vcarb contract

Danny is the only available option

But he dosent want a 1 year contract does he?

[wide compass]

This is an hypothetical if Mercedes didn’t virtually sign Kimi at the start of the season

[normal notch]

https://tenor.com/view/mario-super-mario-bros-depression-sad-mario-and-luigi-gif-14815881022592239601

[jade mural]

Congrats @normal notch, you're now on lap 5

[normal notch]

My live reaction to Antonelli crash:

[raven wagon]

Also its not a guarantee that 2025 will be the closest championship we might see

[wide compass]

Yes he he needs it he needs to prove himself he has of right now doesn’t deserve an f1 seat, and a top team could help

[jade mural]

Congrats @wide compass, you're now on lap 5

[raven wagon]

For all we know Merc might just turn up with another W11

[wide compass]

Same regulation of last year more development time it’s natural

[raven wagon]

Remember 2013?

Going into the summer break we thought there was gonna be another title fight

[wide compass]

Toto talked about it that most time the closer the regulations come to an end the more cars are closer

[raven wagon]

Then Seb just fked off into the distance and won 9 in a row

[wide compass]

2013 was a weird ass season

[raven wagon]

2021 had a reg change

Affected Merc a lot

Redbull used the opportunity to catch up

[wide compass]

Small one, I mean for most was small for Mercedes was basically removing the cheat code

[raven wagon]

Eh I mean FIA changed the floor and rear brake regs

[wide compass]

Still a small change for most teams

[raven wagon]

But like I said, who knows whether Antonelli might surprise us all, do a Lewis 07 and immediately get up to speed

Merc gave him all this f1 testing mileage for a reason

Its a big risk for sure, there will be many doubts, but it might pay off who knows?

[wet sequoia]

Required FP1 sessions

[ornate gate]

Yeah.

[patent crystal]

no they fixed it before fp2

had it working for him

[ocean thunder]

What time is qualifying tmrw

[unreal folio]

7am pst idk what ur timezone is

[ornate gate]

Check the pins or do .sessions

[ocean thunder]

[grizzled gate]

hey

https://tenor.com/view/mercedes-george-russell-lewis-hamilton-formula-1-f1-gif-18110942413476787222

[wicked adder]

this gp will be or dominance or intense

hope MV33 wins this race

[grizzled gate]

its either MV1 or CL16 and no surprise to see LN4

[stiff venture]

Perez pole !!!! It will be a different red, white and green

[grizzled gate]

negative

negative chances

[stiff venture]

Haha we shall see.

[grizzled gate]

yah shall see

i'll be surprised if he finishes in top 10

[coral hedge]

When will be the next race

[unreal folio]

after monza?

sept 15

[buoyant lodge]

FRR

ALL HE WANTS IS TO BE ON GRID

NOT TO WIN

[grizzled gate]

yah, he is afraid of Riccardo man

the day ricardo will overtake him with that RB checo is gone

[reef night]

Hi everyone

[grizzled gate]

hey

wassup?

[cold solar]

hasnt danny already done so many times
when checo ate the wall

also wat happen to da safety car

[wet sequoia]

Safety car had brake issues and crashed

[celest pebble]

Hi guys who do think is gonna win Italian gp

[grizzled gate]

umm maybe he has a last chance

[grizzled gate]

CL16

[celest pebble]

Hmm oh I think it's gonna be either Lando or lewis

[wet sequoia]

I want Norris to win just to start a serious fight for WDC

And Verstappen to not get a podium

[celest pebble]

I mean his last GP was good 29 seconds gap

[grizzled gate]

no lewis not at all

[grizzled gate]

22 sec mate

[celest pebble]

22 oh sry

[wet sequoia]

Hamilton maybe, if Mercedes fixed their floor issues it’ll be racing between Ferrari and Mercedes

[grizzled gate]

7 sec extra would burry max

[grizzled gate]

yah right

[wet sequoia]

If McLaren get a front row lockout imagine the WCC after the race

[celest pebble]

Red bull is cooked

Red bull has world class drivers but not good cars

[pure aurora]

checo is not world class

[grizzled gate]

I don't wanna se hamilton back to podium, he had his time now its time for the young guns

[pure aurora]

the rb20 is still the second fastest car

[celest pebble]

Yeah but u know what happend last GP right

[wet sequoia]

Got that the wrong way around

[grizzled gate]

its inverse

[celest pebble]

Dude wdym

[pure aurora]

he got p6 because the mercedes got fucked by their upgrades?

[grizzled gate]

they have got a world class driver but not that capable car

[wet sequoia]

World class cars but not good drivers and I’m talking about the other 3 Red Bull drivers in that system

[pure aurora]

the car is still good lol

its got issues but its 10x faster than alpine

[grizzled gate]

but has lost performance lately

after the canadian gp

[wet sequoia]

Lowest Red Bull have finished after Seb won championships was what, 3rd?

[celest pebble]

Dude max is good I can accept that Perez is not performing but max is good

[pure aurora]

eh I think its just that the other people caught up

[grizzled gate]

the mc larens have improved a lot and they are impressive

[pure aurora]

Yuh

[celest pebble]

Agreee

[grizzled gate]

same with mercs

great improvement

[celest pebble]

Yup

[pure aurora]

eh

I think merc is the third fastest rn

[celest pebble]

Which is first

[pure aurora]

mclaren

than RBR

[grizzled gate]

ferrari's issue is not defined yet sadly, hope it ends with monza

[wet sequoia]

If Ferrari is anything like last year at Monza then you’ll be changing your opinion

[celest pebble]

Thought so

[jade mural]

Congrats @wet sequoia, you're now on lap 45

[wet sequoia]

To Red Bull being 4th fastest

And under Fred that’s very realistic

[grizzled gate]

its like McLaren then Ferrari then Merc then Redbull

or Redbull then Merc

[wet sequoia]

It’s McLaren then whoever tuned their cars right on race day

[celest pebble]

Mclaren has really good cars

[grizzled gate]

but we need to lookover the pick up achieved by max's rb in last gp man

that was hilarious

[wet sequoia]

Currently Ferrari are 4th but these Monza upgrades should see them back on the podium, potentially double podium finish

[celest pebble]

Agree

[grizzled gate]

both lando and max had same reaction time but rb had better pickup

[celest pebble]

Yup

[grizzled gate]

just hoping for it

[celest pebble]

So with Lewis coming to Ferrari next season what are Ur expectations

[grizzled gate]

i am not a LH fan but i favour Ferrari so ig they will do best in the constructor list

[celest pebble]

Why tho lw is good

[grizzled gate]

He is the GOAT its just like i am not a fan of him

[celest pebble]

I see

Who do u think is better Carlos or leclerc

[grizzled gate]

tough for me tho

[unreal folio]

i cannot choose

[grizzled gate]

yah

[unreal folio]

all urs to answer 🙏

[grizzled gate]

but after the recent performance i would say charles has got the edge

[celest pebble]

Yup I agree

[grizzled gate]

but experience wise ill go with chili

[celest pebble]

He is quite experienced

[unreal folio]

SMOOTH OPERATOORRRR

[celest pebble]

How did he get the name tho

[unreal folio]

theres a song

and he sings the lyrics on radio

[celest pebble]

Yur I know the song

[celest pebble]

Ohh

[unreal folio]

which his radios got out

and now hes our smooth operator ✨

[celest pebble]

I see

[grizzled gate]

https://tenor.com/view/f1-carlos-sainz-smooth-operator-racing-race-gif-17366847

[lucid parrot]

Im in need of max humbling lando this rave

Race

[stiff venture]

I think everyone is. Would mind piastri also twisting the knife

[unreal folio]

makes me wonder how everyone rlly felt when max won it all and they couldnt

humbling is something everyone needs at some point id say, some more or less than others

[pure aurora]

I need piastri to win at monza

or leclerc

no inbetween

[stiff venture]

I think if norris keeps getting beat by max you will simply turn into Riccardo

[unreal folio]

wym ill turn into riccardo

[stiff venture]

He

[unreal folio]

ferrari home win i hope

oh okay

i mean

max is highly strong willed

so we'll js need to see how or if he changes during this period

[pure aurora]

english?

how do I become riccardo

[wet sequoia]

Don’t confuse strong willed with sheer arrogance

[unreal folio]

fair enough, stubborn too

but he does have a strong will to win which can absoloutely be arrogance too i agree

[stiff venture]

No,no. He is strong willed. He survived the Jos training and he couldn't even socialize so he is a bit socially awkward.

[pure aurora]

Jos is an Opp

[unreal folio]

yeah

mans been through some stuff

cant blame that strong will

[hardy cobalt]

🚗💨 👦⛽️

[still moon]

still waiting for the ferrari one two

heheheheheheehehehehe

[grizzled gate]

me too

🤌

[regal needle]

Wonder why all Drivers run Wide in the First Turn?

Should maybe like, Monza should do a Change to the Turn 1?

Next Year, They won't have Contract to continue after 2025

They should renew it now

LESSGOOOO

[hidden fulcrum]

🔥

in italy as well

[twin gazelle]

Hehehehehe

Yea

[grim egret]

he just hit the wall

[twin gazelle]

Okay and?

[clever frost]

1 year deal 👀

[hushed bison]

he pushed a little to much and the track was slippery due to lack of rubber

[twin gazelle]

Bottas return?

[west dock]

those who say it's a mistake found out who kimi antonelli is yesterday

[twin gazelle]

Fr

[sharp glacier]

kimi crashtonelli comments are gonna appear soo hard in 2025

[twin gazelle]

Real

[sharp glacier]

i love 3 rookies

[regal needle]

We did it!

[sharp glacier]

4?? plz

[slender zodiac]

Antonelli to Mercedes, there we land

[sharp glacier]

liam lawson please

[dim dock]

KIMIIII

[regal needle]

3 Rookie Driver so far

[twin gazelle]

Hasn't Lawson raced in F1 so far?

[sharp glacier]

PLEASE let liam lawson drive in that rb

[clever frost]

Mick to race for Mercedes when Kimi goes for school tests

[sharp glacier]

He has but no full time f1 seat as ric is hogging that seat

[hushed bison]

it's already 4 you forgot alonso

so we need 5

[twin gazelle]

Naked sense

[sharp glacier]

super rookie alonso

🥺

[clever frost]

So it's now

Bottas/Bortoletto - Sauber
Lawson/Daniel - Racing Bulls

[west dock]

lawson isnt official yet

[sharp glacier]

Hope it isn't daniel honestly☹️☹️☹️☹️

[twin gazelle]

Why tho?

[hushed bison]

nah neither of them will be in rb

[clever frost]

I think if Danny R is resigned by RB then Lawson will take Sauber

[hushed bison]

i have a feeling

[echo urchin]

Kimi really went from a f4 type of series (idk specifically), to f2, then f1

[sharp glacier]

Inconsistent

[grim egret]

why would daniel still race?

[tired epoch]

wtf there is no way they're dropping yuki

[harsh terrace]

Imagine Sainz there instead of Kimi

[grim egret]

daniels time in f1 came and went

[sharp glacier]

they arent

hes saying that either lawson or daniel will be in the seat

[sharp glacier]

point to prove my ass

[regal needle]

We should have Daniel Ricciardo announced his 2025 Season Planned

[tired epoch]

it will be lawson over daniel any day of the month

[sharp glacier]

they're riding daniel bro

[tired epoch]

red bull isn't brain dead

[sharp glacier]

hes the PR god

[sharp glacier]

they in fact are

[tired epoch]

yeah but liam can actually drive

[final patio]

ANTONELLI to Mercedes!!

[sharp glacier]

ngl

[sharp glacier]

exactly

[twilit merlin]

Im hungry

[sharp glacier]

theyre choosing pr gods over people who can drive good in this era

[hearty nest]

🚨KIMI OFFICIALLY REPLACES HAMILTON🚨

[sharp glacier]

experience this experience that

[harsh terrace]

Soon F3 sprint

[twilit merlin]

I need food

[keen moat]

WHAT

[twilit merlin]

I have been deported and sent to South Sudan

[ancient scaffold]

And Max will join in the team Mercedes in 2026 I hope

[harsh terrace]

This only means 1 thing. They dropped the 2025 season in terms of constructor and most likely WDC chances as well.

[grim egret]

yes

kimi on a 1 year deal means its just a stop gap to get max for 26

[west dock]

how many times have you heard kimi antonelli's name before yesterday?

[hushed bison]

next year im gonna see drivers younger than me making millions of dollars 😭

[grim egret]

the entire 2024

[pure aurora]

source?

[sharp glacier]

considering gr's contract is expiring soon also

[harsh terrace]

2 times

[sharp glacier]

what if ant/ver

[pure aurora]

dw they started with millions of dollars

[grim egret]

going to renew

[sharp glacier]

Probs

[grim egret]

big up for mercedes trusting their drivers pool though

[sharp glacier]

they missed max

they wont miss ant

[pure aurora]

they def renewing

russels been cooking

[frail light]

This bloke is a month younger than me and is going to be racing in F1 next year. Am I cooked?

[west dock]

did you say the same thing in 2006 when Hamilton was announced with mclaren?

[harsh terrace]

Im watching F1 since 2007/8 lol

[twin quail]

[pure aurora]

did you start life with millions of dollars?

if no, than no

[rancid mortar]

guys there will be a ceremony that Lewis will “give” antonelli his “seat”

[frail light]

Nope

[pure aurora]

than no lol

[meager ridge]

who would have thought

No one saw it coming

No one.

[rancid mortar]

we knew it a week ago

https://tenor.com/view/kimi-antonelli-prema-kimi-wave-andrea-kimi-antonelli-antonelli-wave-gif-26065482

[frail light]

The family you picture if you think middle class America is pretty much a carbon copy of my family. So no I didn’t grow up with millions of dollars it’s just weird seeing someone younger doing things like this

[grim egret]

they wanted to announce him at the home ground

mercedes are smooth

[frail light]

That was their plan since Lewis left

Or Lewis announced he was leaving

[harsh terrace]

Theres one thing that I dont get. What are reserve drivers for? Everytime theres a driver who needs to be replaced, teams are looking for other not experienced ones instead of using the reserve drivers. This happened x times before same goes for Williams.

[frail light]

All of those Sainz rumors were just people stirring up the pot

[regal needle]

Just heard from Crofty https://x.com/CroftyF1/status/1829777887064387758?t=4cg5GTq7t55gSgjXt1fnuQ&s=19

David Croft (@CroftyF1) on X

Mercedes announce Andrea Kimi Antonelli alongside George Russell for next season. No surprises there and no mention of 2026 when both drivers will be out of contract. Sensible and keeps their options open

Twitter · Aug 31, 2024, 7:06 AM

No Contract for Both George and Kimi in 2026 Season mean they should be Opened by 2025

[twin gazelle]

Same , I don't get it as well

[unreal folio]

reserve drivers are there for driver emergency replacement on the spot i think

like say idk hamilton was ill and needed medical attention at a hospital, mick would hop in probably

[raven wagon]

Vandoorne was once a Merc reserve driver, I highly doubt Merc would had gave him a premanent seat after he got annihilated by Alonso

[unreal folio]

going into a reserve driver spot lowkey is not always fantastic cuz if u screw up one shot u got to show off urself yk

[tulip aurora]

Mercedes aren't winning anything next year

[regal needle]

Kimi just turn 18 Last Week and he finally got the Seat for driving for Mercedes

[raven wagon]

Why, because Antonelli will become another Logan in your opinion?

[regal needle]

Your Delusional. I'm sure Mercedes can win

[raven wagon]

Mercedes will def win 1 or 2 races next year

Thats guaranteed

[regal needle]

I agree 👍🏻

[raven wagon]

However they might produce a wdc contending car for all we know

[worthy skiff]

will he get a win as a rookie

👀

[tulip aurora]

Just because someone's a world class driver in the junior categories, it doesn't always mean they will be the same in the top level

[raven wagon]

If the car is good for winning races yes

[regal needle]

I'm hoping so

[raven wagon]

Antonelli has shown he can adapt from the jump from F4 to F2

[worthy skiff]

Piastri got a sprint win as a rookie

that was wild already

[regal needle]

Oscar already showed some Great Strategy

[tulip aurora]

Nope, with a complete rookie who's only turned 18, it's going to fail because he's not mature enough

[raven wagon]

And the last few times drivers were world class in F2, they are still driving for top teams today

And those are Charles and George

[worthy skiff]

Oliver bearman is just 18 as well

people need to realize there isn’t just one 18 year old

[tulip aurora]

19

[raven wagon]

Tell that to Max when he was 17 in 2015

[worthy skiff]

18 when he was signed

[sacred condor]

Everyone always hated the rookies, they hated Piastri and he won. Antonelli will win someday

[snow swan]

i dont think anyone is aiming for the 2025 year to be the big one when 2026 is just around the corner, he'll have the handle of the situation with new regulations

[tulip aurora]

19, he was 19 at Silverstone and still is 19

[worthy skiff]

either way

Bearman is young asf as well

1 year difference

[regal needle]

Stop being Delusional. That's just a False Rumors you wanna make

Think Positive for God Sake!

[regal needle]

Ugggh!

[worthy skiff]

Kimi Raikkonen also skipped to F1 skipping junior categories

[regal needle]

https://tenor.com/view/ugh-anxiety-anger-inside-out-inside-out-2-gif-3476268568325048290

[worthy skiff]

Max Verstappen the same at just 17

[sacred condor]

Raikkonen did a lot of strange stuff to get to F1 lmfao

[regal needle]

Max was 8 Years ago when he switch to Red Bull

[worthy skiff]

everyone said he was too young and not mature and ready

[regal needle]

He made Amazing Debut in Spain

[sacred condor]

Yep, and I totally see why they said that. But they took a chance, and it worked out. I think Antonelli will work out

[tulip aurora]

Not a safe enough option

[raven wagon]

I would bet ppl were saying the same thing when Lewis was announced for Mclaren for 2007, "Hes not ready" "Hes gonna flop"

[worthy skiff]

Lewis was 22?

or 23 i forget

[frozen yarrow]

Was the atmosphere same as it is rn when max got to f1?

[worthy skiff]

he wasn’t stupid young

[regal needle]

Like Lewis not Good Enough yet because too Young?

[worthy skiff]

but yeah

fair point

[tulip aurora]

Different times

[worthy skiff]

how so?

[snow swan]

not a single driver that's new to F1 is a safe option, then? Should we just get Sebastian Vettel back into the vacant Mercedes seat? LMAOOOO

[tulip aurora]

They just were

[sacred condor]

Yes and no, people still hated on the drivers but it was a lot less lmfao

[worthy skiff]

so your point is “it was before therefore it is meaningless”

Antonelli’s position is one multiple drivers have been in

it’s not anything new

it’ll happen again

he’s a superstar who is being thrown in because he is talented

[tulip aurora]

They should've not hesitated and chose Sainz

[snow swan]

it's as large if not larger gamble for them, choosing Sainz

[worthy skiff]

I’ve also not heard anyone speak on Antonelli’s laps aside from the crash, they were wonderful no?

[snow swan]

putting a potential talent to williams instead

[sacred condor]

It would have been a total shit show if they picked up Sainz

[worthy skiff]

he was pushing track limits perfectly

in his first laps of a car

[regal needle]

Williams have High Hopes for Great Driver

[snow swan]

people need to watch the onboards

but choose not to

[regal needle]

Rookie had never been so Good for Low Team

[worthy skiff]

Antonelli shocked me with his laps

[sacred condor]

James wants Williams to be independent of Mercedes, so it's not like Toto wants Antonelli to go there

[worthy skiff]

I’ll glaze him, yeah bc this kid is amazing

but those onboards shocked me

[tulip aurora]

Just remember the job he's done as Leclerc's teammate at Ferrari these last few years

[snow swan]

wasnt your logic "what was before won't be in the present"?

you sure thatd repeat?

[worthy skiff]

a driver making a debut for a top team isn’t bad honestly

[summer drift]

Antonelli to Williams Sainz to merc would be way better

[worthy skiff]

Lewis did it

if Antonelli is all he’s hyped to be, and everything shows he probably is, he’ll be perfect for Mercedes debut

[sacred condor]

Yep I agree. Lewis and Piastri did it, they’ve been great. It's always not terrible to join a junior team (Max, Leclerc)

[tulip aurora]

And that's who you are, as bad as the rest of us
Antonelli, Colapinto, all full of glazers who think they're the next big thing

[worthy skiff]

why get a second driver who knows they’ll be replaced when you have a generational talent

[worthy skiff]

look at Antonelli’s racing record

that isn’t just him being glazed

have you seen any of his F2 races?

[tulip aurora]

Wiki stats don't determine how we see him on track

[summer drift]

We can’t confirm he’s a generational talent
People like max and Lewis are who can straight away jump in an f1 car and do bits
Antonelli however crashed in the first 10 minutes

[worthy skiff]

as Max even said, crashing at the start is how you find your limit

it’s good for a driver to do that

[summer drift]

Trueee but still was a little hasty

[sacred condor]

Not a bad thing

[jade mural]

Congrats @sacred condor, you're now on lap 15

[worthy skiff]

quali laps in FP1

[cold solar]

yea i agree
but not to mazepin level

[worthy skiff]

itll happen

one crash won’t end the world

I think it might’ve been him downshifting and causing the revs to jump but i could be mistaken

it’s what it sounded like

the downshift and the rear stepping out was the exact same time

[snow swan]

didn't other drivers have problems at the parabolica as well? if that comes into the equation for why the crash happened, the circumstances were even more unfortunate

[worthy skiff]

car was in line at the apex prior to that downshift too

[worthy skiff]

everyone was struggling there yeah

new williams guy almost lost it

sainz too

[snow swan]

exactly

[tulip aurora]

It's going to end badly and you know that

[worthy skiff]

one crash at a stupid tricky corner means he’s not worth F1?

Leclerc crashed there in 2020

the safety car literally crashed there prior to FP1

[summer drift]

Whatever happens
Chucking an 18 year old to fill a 7x champions boots is a big risk

[snow swan]

people just think logan sargeant whenever they see a rookie crash and it's the most delulu shit 😭

[tulip aurora]

That was coming out of that corner
Completely different to going in

[worthy skiff]

yeah, just hope he can manage the pressure

[worthy skiff]

Antonelli’s crash was after the apex

he didn’t lose it on entry

[summer drift]

All he has to do is just keep with George and that’ll be a good season

[tulip aurora]

It's not the same place where Leclerc crashed

[sacred condor]

Genuinely why do you think that? So many drivers have been successful, and crashed or made a mistake

[worthy skiff]

nobody will crash the exact same at every corner

Parabolica is incredibly tricky plus with the new resurfacing makes it even harder

so many things to consider for this crash

[snow swan]

• he's young
• rookies making it big won't happen ever again
  are his main points so far

[summer drift]

Also considering he had to do an f1 practice session he did very well to qualify P6 in F2

[worthy skiff]

yes it was driver error either way, but there are many factors

[sacred condor]

It's the same thing every year when rookies come into the sport 🤦‍♀️

[worthy skiff]

first laps in FP1
quali laps (probably forced by merc)
rookie
resurfaced track
tricky corner
high pressure

[snow swan]

for reall

[worthy skiff]

all factors for this crash

I don’t think there has ever been a rookie to not crash either

yeah it’s incredibly fast for Kimi’s but he had no experience in that car and Mercedes wanted fast laps

[sacred condor]

Didn't Max DNF on like his 1st or 2nd race? Or am I misremembering this

[worthy skiff]

[snow swan]

It seems to me that Redbull is out of money for development, Don't they? Probably has to do something with the amount of time Perez crashed the car too, Since, His crashes ain't the duct tape fix type but replace the entire thing.

[tulip aurora]

You're just glazing him at this point

[worthy skiff]

how

[stiff bough]

so then go back and watch his races in F4, FRECA, and F2 🤷

[sacred condor]

I'm tweaking as a Red Bull fan the car is not working

It's a shitbox

[tulip aurora]

I don't need to

[worthy skiff]

there are many factors for Kimi’s crash

his racing is insane
