[lilac nova]

Perez to win in Baku

After absolute safety car mayhem

[tender sinew]

It was prepared but didn't happen 😿

[unborn folio]

the thing is if antonelli is truely as good as max they wont need to bench anyone either russell or kimi

max can stay at rb

[deep spear]

I feel you bro

[wooden kettle]

dude it’s not even confirmed he’s in the seat next year 💀
which is kinda infuriating ngl. i feel for lawson.

that being said………

i think honestly whoever they put in the VCARBs next year i’ll be happy and upset.

[dire crest]

im considering betting like 200 dollars on a Leclerc win because the payout is 6x

then i could buy a moza kit fr

[kindred cedar]

i would say do it but gambling is bad

[dire crest]

not if you do it responsibly

[kindred cedar]

200 dollars on a leclerc win is not responsible

[dire crest]

shhh

its perspective based

200 dollars for one person might not be worth as much as it is to someone else

ima keep telling myself that

lando twowins 😔

[atomic oracle]

which leclerc cuz if Sainz has to withdraw there will be 2 leclerc's on the grid for Baku 😭

[lilac nova]

My man Bottas on retirement watch

[dire crest]

erm what

[atomic oracle]

if Sainz has to withdraw

Ollie bearman replaces him at ferrari

[dire crest]

why would he need to withdraw anyway

[lilac nova]

Verstappen is not washed

[dire crest]

also the betting odds for bearman would be like 500x im p sure

wait no

[atomic oracle]

it's just in case because Haas have said they will run arthur if Ferrari have to call bearman up last minute

[dire crest]

bearman is literally driving for haas this week

[atomic oracle]

so there's an incredibly small chance we might see Arthur leclerc's debut

[unreal folio]

why wouldnt sainz race ..

[atomic oracle]

if one of them is ill, I'm just saying Sainz because if it's Sainz then we will end up with 2 leclercs racing

[atomic oracle]

Charles leclerc might also not race in which case his brother will be the only Leclerc in baku

[dire crest]

oh fr?

[dire crest]

literally what ive been saying fr

he already had appendicitis hes fine for the rest of the season

[atomic oracle]

it was just interesting since I just saw an article that Haas will run arthur just in case

[unreal folio]

had me so confused that i missed sumn

[atomic oracle]

oh no it's just Haas preparing

because bearmans not their driver yet

[dire crest]

sainz will race

[unreal folio]

🙌

[dire crest]

im smelling a double ferrari podium, actually

perchance with sainz ahead

[atomic oracle]

I'm smelling a Carlos sainz pole bro

[unreal folio]

what a great smell

[dire crest]

Right??

[atomic oracle]

Sainz pole and p2

[unreal folio]

id smell a double podium for days

[atomic oracle]

the Ferrari is very gentle on the fronts, probably didn't get enough heat over a lap in Monza but Baku has a few more turns

so maybe the Ferrari being so gentle allows them to push the fronts more and keep it in a working window in quali

[dire crest]

little lando isnt good enough for baku, piastri doesnt have enough experience with the track, verstappen is out of the question because rbr is shit especially there, mercedes will also struggle a teeny bit because i said so so that leaves leclerc and sainz, and sainz is known to very randomly very occasionally just completely outdo leclerc and im feeling that baku is one of those cases

[atomic oracle]

lando win though

[dire crest]

no lol

[atomic oracle]

realistically he will be up there again

[dire crest]

not on the top step

not baku

nor singapore

cota maybe

[unreal folio]

✨

[atomic oracle]

Baku is a bit tougher on the rear tyres than Monza (logically at least)

the McLaren and Lando are best on the rear tyres at the moment

[dire crest]

nono, sainz fan

not next year it aint

oh fuck

[atomic oracle]

Lando + McLaren are probably the fastest driver-car package in clear air so if Lando can get himself into the lead then I feel like it's done there

[dire crest]

forza

[dire crest]

i disagree

[atomic oracle]

who is bro gonna support then 😭

is Lewis WDC and Ferrari dsq from constructors your ideal championship

next year

[dire crest]

or maybe lando in the mclaren is the fastest across a single quali lap but hes not good in a race setting

[atomic oracle]

wdym not good in a race setting

sure he makes mistakes here and there but that's not what I said

on pure race pace when in clear air

[dire crest]

terrible at starts, like god awful, not great at maintaining positions or even defending from his own settings

[atomic oracle]

which isn't what I said

I said pure clear air pace

[dire crest]

thats why i said i disagreed, and then said changed what i said because i initially misunderstood what you wrote

[atomic oracle]

the McLaren is the fastest car in clear air (the Ferrari was a better race car at Monza but McLaren had the best peak pace)

[dire crest]

then i went on to express my opinion on him in an actual race scenario because thas what i said i thought you were talking abt

[atomic oracle]

and lando is faster than Oscar on pure race pace and quali pace

[dire crest]

mclaren is definitely the fastest no denying that

[dire crest]

true that

his race craft is worse though

arguably worse

[atomic oracle]

yeah probably but that's something that is easier to work on

than raw pace

[dire crest]

oscar is an absolute demon on track, maybe not as good in the clean air but a lot better in the dirty, and thats where this rocketship of a mclaren is often finding itself

[unreal folio]

real

[atomic oracle]

Oscar did struggle a lot in zandvoort

[dire crest]

yeah but then again you can say lando struggled in other races

[atomic oracle]

true but oscar had the peak rocketship

[dire crest]

like everyone has bad races but if you look generally across the last few races where oscar has had a good chance to get used to having this absolute rocket hes been really good

spa is a great example

[atomic oracle]

and didn't even get a podium because he couldn't do anything in dirty air

[dire crest]

if the race was a little longer he wouldve won, no denying it

[atomic oracle]

true but we could do that to any race

if the race was longer in imola Lando would have won

if Monaco 22 was longer Sainz may have attempted a pass on perez

[kindred cedar]

NOT DELULU ENOUGH HAMILTON 1ST LECLERC 2ND AND FERRARI 1ST

[atomic oracle]

lando 1st Lawson 2nd Williams WCC mark my words

[winter canopy]

Who y'all got for pole?

[atomic oracle]

[kindred cedar]

leclerc

[atomic oracle]

santino ferruci 2024 wdc?!

[kindred cedar]

wydm luck did u watch the triple header

[atomic oracle]

bro is clearly not being serious with that message 😭

[atomic oracle]

also Leclerc was shit in the triple header 💀

[kindred cedar]

thats what i mean he had 0 luck in the triple header

[atomic oracle]

0 skill as well ||jk don't come after me ples 😭||

[kindred cedar]

and basically everything after monaco till like spa

[kindred cedar]

that spoiler saved yuor ahh

[atomic oracle]

leclerc is a skilled man 🙏 but he was mid in these races

[kindred cedar]

kmag gonna be a ballistic missle after this

i think teams might need to pay him off so that he dosent end tehyr races

month break --> 4 races --> month break is torture

after singapore

22nd is singapore

20th is austiion

then 6 races

and off season

no LECLERC IS 1 TIME CHAMPION OF THE WORLD

HE WON AT MONACO AFTER YEARS OF HARDSHIP

HE WON AT MONZA TO BRING JOY TO THE TIFOSI

AND NOW CHARLES LECLERC BECOMES THE 2024 FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPIONNN

is gonna be the commentary

he only need sto score 11 more than verstappen and 4 more than norris every race

if verstappen is out of points for 2 races the nleclerc has a chance

maths

russel sainz and piastri arnt winning lets face it

leclerc is the best driver (hamilton excluded) with the 2nd fastest car (rbs so bad rn they dont count)

yeah

but ferraris second fastest

and leclerc is a abetter driver than both of them

what is bro on

WHAT HOW

rb/mercedes is not the fastest bro

wait whos the fastest

if mclarens secnoc

.........

cough rb totes didnt come 6th and 8 cough

OHHHHHHH ok u mean positions

but rbs losing wcc we all know that

mclarens easily bearing them

ferrari is slowly getting to the point of fighting for 2n

he did the same as verstappen last race just 2 positions lower

he is trust

[molten fulcrum]

china redbull got 54 points i think

in total

[molten fulcrum]

WDC no chance

good

ferrari could get a 2nd in WCC but its gonna be a bit harder

lol

what brand is your keyboard

sansun?

or samsung

dang

never heard of sansun

doesnt show up even if i google it

real

[analog merlin]

unfortunate

[grand plume]

Hey

Any brazilian here?

[snow swan]

me

🏇 joke

Hm. What can be expected in Baku guys? Do you think max will win this race again or?

Tbh this year is full of silliness so everything is possible atp

[stiff venture]

leclerc, Piastri, max

albon dnf

[snow swan]

I hope either piastri or Leclerc wins

[stiff venture]

I think Piasti will lead until albon cause a saftey car which will put leclerc in the lead and brin max up from p7 to p3

[cosmic vapor]

leclerc leads from start grand slam

[regal glade]

Red Bull is falling apart at the seams, I think that Max’s dominance is over for a while. I’m hoping Piastri will win purely on merit rather than team orders but: I have a feeling it’ll either be Norris or LeClerc

[cosmic vapor]

cuz pole is ez for him in baku

and pole usually equals win when you have a somewhat competitive car

[vestal carbon]

I believe it will be Norris this time

[stiff venture]

Piastri is fired up from the last race. I think he will come guns blazing

[sand storm]

i got into f1 right before this season started and everyone was like "what's the point, max is going to win every race"

i'm glad that hasn't happened

as much as i love max

[vestal carbon]

Was there a crash in last laps in Baku gp last year?

[regal glade]

I got into f1 back in June but I’ve binged from 2021 until the current season

[stiff venture]

you will find that f1 fans quickly change their mind race to race. they act like the results of the previous race is how the rest of the season will play out.

[sand storm]

lmao

[vestal carbon]

It happens mostly in every sport, competition changes preferences😂

[stiff venture]

idk about every sport. most sports they are playing every weekend in some form or another. I havent seen the way fans react from race to race as much as f1 fans

[stiff venture]

wow...

as in each race or just the highlights?

[regal glade]

Each race

[stiff venture]

nice

2021 was a good year

[regal glade]

I did do the highlights for most of 2023

Since the outcomes were predictable lol. I did watch Singapore

Having a newborn has freed my time up considerably

[stiff venture]

hahaha! yeah I can understand that

[regal glade]

The only thing guaranteed with this race is that everybody is safe from KMAG

[stiff venture]

oh man I cannot wait for him to return with zero points hahaha

[regal glade]

He should be a hero and just take out Stroll every race

[stiff venture]

omg haha poor stroll

he is going to come in like ghost rider, head blaze ready to send anyone in his path to the shadow realm

[regal glade]

I really hope so! He’s not trying to get a place for next year so might as well have fun with it

[vestal carbon]

Do they reset championship points after a driver is served with a race ban?

[stiff venture]

yeah hahah

[stiff venture]

oh no not championship. THe points for infringements

[vestal carbon]

Oh I see

Sergio Perez and Fernando Alonso both have 8 points and closest to the 12 points for race ban

[stiff venture]

intereting. I doubt they will get banned. Kmag did a lot to get it haha

[regal glade]

Rewatching the Miami sprint where he was driving off tracks to hold back Hamilton was fun.

[vestal carbon]

People say ocon does stuff to get penalty, he only has 3 to his name

[regal glade]

I think the FIA hates Kmag

[vestal carbon]

I just got to know that these points expire in a year, so KMAG got on nerves within a year to get 12 points

[stiff venture]

thats because he only does it to his teammates

[vestal carbon]

I hope Ollie bearman is able to get away with that then

[stiff venture]

actually it is the opposite. He should have been banned sooner but they kept finding ways to avoid it

[vestal carbon]

Yep it has been years since someone was banned

[stiff venture]

it is interesting that we have (2) rookies for baku which is one of the toughest tracks

[regal glade]

He’s handed out 10 second penalties a lot

[vestal carbon]

I guess bearman will be good, considering the fact that he has done well at Saudi gp

[vestal carbon]

Yeah mostly due to causing a collision

[regal glade]

As DC says, that’s racing

[vestal carbon]

I wonder how crazy racing it would be if these drivers had a race without any penalties or fia rules

Literally everyone will t try to take out their competition and the gentleman racing thing will be dead

[remote knoll]

Me going straight at the Monza chicane

[regal glade]

Man it’s fun watching the classic seasons for that reason lol

[river mountain]

I'm more looking forward to the race in Austin in October because I'll be able to catch that one on TV because same timezones yk

[vestal carbon]

Me too

[snow swan]

3 predictions

1. Checo will beat max

2. Checo will be on the podium

[stiff venture]

I like this

[snow swan]

3. VCARB is gonna fall back

Behind haas

[regal glade]

Oooooh

[oak terrace]

Anyone will be in Baku ?

I have an extra paddock club ticket with + vip access

[clear pumice]

living at new zealand is crazy

far ahh venues

[unkempt wasp]

Sergio, be damned.

Alonso, never does anything wrong he is the goat.

[hushed olive]

Ik checo but Alonso ???

I haven't saw Alonso crashing that often

[clever wedge]

you don't need to crash to get penalty points

some in-race penalties also give those

for example if you remember australia and what was deemed the cause of russell's crash, alonso got 3 points for that one

[tender spoke]

I think the stewards just hate Alonso for some odd reason

[humble sequoia]

but how could the hate the worlds oldest rookie?

[tender spoke]

They hate him cuz they ain't him

[humble sequoia]

on god

[blazing sedge]

He comes so strong

[snow swan]

Probably the worst kept secret really 👁️

[vernal holly]

So Adrian Newey announcement today

[vernal holly]

And it seems Red Bull might try and cover that with Daniel Ric’s future announcement

[snow swan]

Newey's announcement will likely overshadow the DannyRic announcement

[hardy cobalt]

Why and how

[woeful cobalt]

exciting dayyy

[hardy cobalt]

Some people are saying grandstand ticket announcements but why would they do something this anticipating for tickets

[woeful cobalt]

oscars stand?

[snow swan]

Makes you ponder..

[hardy cobalt]

If it’s just grandstand ticket announcements then I’ll fall to my knees in a Walmart

[snow swan]

Why tease something a few hours in advance though? Simple, Newey's easily the best modern day technical engineer in F1's modern history in the past 30 or so years with how many different drivers have won world championships in his designs.

[hardy cobalt]

We all know he’s going to Aston so why would he overshadow Danny ric

[snow swan]

Bear in mind that a good majority of races Danny Ric won in during his time at Red Bull were in part due to Newey-Designed cars

Had it not been for one of the greatest engineers there, his only win would have been one to remember at Monza.

[hardy cobalt]

Gasp

[narrow garnet]

Holy shit, he's a shareholder in the team now as well

[river shadow]

generational wealth acquired

[still forge]

Stroll really gave him a blank check

[wet sequoia]

And watch Aston finish 4th in 2026

[harsh terrace]

Just like Vettel

[still forge]

Even worse
Watch Aston Martin have a win-contending car the year after Alonso retires

[merry dirge]

real

[regal needle]

Big News for Aston Martin today to have Adrian Newey join the Team

[meager ridge]

ricksf1addiction finally happy now

[wet sequoia]

With Tsunoda and Stroll, I’d watch the DTS episode of that

[ember kayak]

All I hope for now is for Alonso to cook

[ember kayak]

YES

I got back into f1 because of him lmfao

had no interest for a bit

[ember kayak]

I hope Alonso won’t retire for now

🙏

[coarse obsidian]

Now its official

[snow swan]

na never

[mortal marsh]

andrean newey, more like andrean oldie 💀

let bro retire 🙏 😭

I'm so fucking happy rn

[kindred cedar]

YEAS

[blazing fiber]

finalllyyyy lolll

[neat latch]

My predictions of what teams will be protagonists in 2026

Mercedes, mclaren and Ferrari

Top 3

Pretty obvious why

Aston Martin honda, best of the rest, they will have a decent engine, and some really good aerodynamics

Ford red bull will struggle, I have not heard anything positive about the 2026 engine, and the car is probably not going to be the best either so yeah, they're in for some hard years.

Audi will probably be a recolored sauber the first few years, they have a LOT of work on their hands

They have to improve everything if they want to succeed

And Renault, they might not even be on the grid lol, if they somehow are, i expect dead last.

[cold solar]

newey is gone they r probs already pretty much cooked next year

[neat latch]

They are already cooked this year

And it's not going to get better

[uneven maple]

o

[grim egret]

he had generational wealth set up already

I think thats why ferrari couldnt take him

[grim egret]

mercedes are done, has been team

mclaren, AM and ferrari are the front runners

[neat latch]

You say they're done but they're doing pretty decent right now

[grim egret]

thanks to lewis

[neat latch]

And they're pretty optimistic about the engine

For 2026

[grim egret]

but they want to be back where they have always been

[snow swan]

They'll also be rebuilding, something RB did after Seb and Webber left

[grim egret]

driver problem, two rookies in the seat

[neat latch]

George is ready to lead the team

I don't see a problem driver wise

Car wise, time will tell

Engine wise, they'll probably have the best one

I can say the same about Ferrari except driver wise

We'll have to see how Charles vs lewis goes

[grim egret]

george doesnt have an ounce of champion in him and kimi is so raw

[neat latch]

Say what you want, he's a good driver, and kimi is obviously a rookie but we'll see how that goes

George is not scared to win and will win

Already proved that

[grim egret]

I just dont have much faith in that team to be where they used to be

[neat latch]

And you have faith in Ferrari

[grim egret]

very much

[neat latch]

Leclerc vs Hamilton could go nuclear if things don't go well

[grim egret]

we will see

[neat latch]

Can't wait for the Ferrari social media civil war

[grim egret]

why would there be a civil war

if that car is competetive

le clerc should get used to #2 driver

[raw plaza]

if max goes to aston

will fenando go or is papa stroll gonna just pay for his sons useless seat

stroll master plan to become wdc wont work coz max will destroy him in same machinery

make logan join aston to make stroll look good 😭

[boreal osprey]

papa stroll will not leave his son without a seat, if Max goes to Aston it will be with Fernando's seat. And we don't want Fernando to be left out of the party, especially now that Newey has arrived.

[fast fable]

So, simple answer.

||Lose Max.||

[winged dagger]

to prime lewis? sure. rn? i think they’re close

[drifting sapphire]

aston kind of dead locked themselves with a good deal

its a battle of 2 seats with 2 world champs and 1 mr daddy's cash.

Possibilities:

• Max stays in RBR, Fernando and Lance stays in AMR
• Fernando retires (pls don't-), Max moves and Lance stays in AMR, a junior driver (Hadjar or Tsunoda) joins VCARB
• Lawrence sells the team, Lance gets dropped, Max moves and Fernando stays in AMR, again a junior driver (Hadjar or Tsunoda) joins VCARB

it is a very tough situation that aston martin got themselves into, as max and tsunoda are linked with Honda and AMR is changing their engine from Merc to Honda.

[worn cedar]

the glazing is genuinely crazy here

[snow swan]

hmm, being realistic seeing lewis's quali pace being deteriorate race by race, remember charles is a driver who has a very very strong quali pace. If hamilton dosent improve his quali pace then i am sure charles would annihilate him.

[worn cedar]

Hamilton isn’t good to that level currently

[snow swan]

being realistic, he is washed.

[worn cedar]

not washed, but definitely not go the level of dominating leclerc

[regal glade]

He’s not Danny Ric level of washed

[snow swan]

the most staunch lewis fan i meet in recent years, damm. George dosent have a ounce of champion? the hell, he is probably the top talent if not best in f1 currently.

[snow swan]

compare his quali pace stats with this year and others, you will know.

in the lasst year hamilton russel quali waas like 11-11 this year russel is like just dominating him interms of quali pace. he is simply getting washed race by race.

[worn cedar]

exactly, saying Russell doesn’t have a chance is just diabolical

[snow swan]

why bro is so confident that lewis is a better driver? seeing his current form i think lewis should get used to be an 2nd driver fs in ferrari.

[snow swan]

yk, avg team lh guys here and there.

staunch as hell.

[dire crest]

george is absolutely NOT the best in f1 currently

hes great, he really is and he has come a super long way from where he started but he is absolutely not in contention for the "best" driver

[dire crest]

tbh i think lewis just needs a refresher, new team new car new everything. Give him some time in a decent ferrari and he will be back to his back-to-back winning ways

[winged dagger]

not washed washed but he is definitely not as good anymore

[somber socket]

predictions: Whos Taking P1 this sunday

[winged dagger]

he gets destroyed by George in quali. thankfully his race pace is still good

[winged dagger]

its just an inchident

[regal glade]

George is fun because when he fumbles, he fumbles hard but he has some truly great moments too

[stiff venture]

I dont like russell but I am starting to feel bad for him. He has had rotten luck and now he is at risk of losing his seat

[tender spoke]

wait george is at risk of losing his seat?

[winged dagger]

if Max joins merc in 2026 yes

But Max might join AM if Newey goes there

[proven leaf]

Imagine , drugovich , max

[stiff venture]

did you just say "if"

[stiff venture]

yeah, it will be faster if max joins merc but I do not think they have been impressed with him. I wouldnt be surprised if they replace him with a new jr driver if kimi picks things up quickly.

with williams not wanting to be a JR team, AMR going with honda and mcLaren... being McLaren. They will need to start giving their Jrs a chance. I havent seen anything from Russell to show that he is what merc needs or wants. Toto literally never talks about him.

[winged dagger]

Stroll will remain in the seat if his dad is there

If Stroll wins WDC I’ll stop watching F1

[tender spoke]

imagine stroll repeats his f3 championship and wins an f1 wdc by 200 points 🗿🗿🗿

[stiff venture]

I have been saying that he will win in 2027.

[hushed olive]

If stroll wins wdc i Will watch the whole moto3 season

[raw plaza]

lmao i just realized all red bull champions get hated when they win lmao even vettel used to get a lot of hate when he was dominating 4 years but eventually ppl likes them

ppl just make a personality of them without understanding them

its sad

assuming max or vettel were not good ppl offf track

probably coz of sky sports fault too and dts

just listen to newey opinion on max and vettel

[still forge]

All redbull champions get hated when they win
Fixed it for you

[raw plaza]

well yea 😭 but criticizing of max and vettel was so much coz of the influence of british media lewis used to be glazed by sky sports a lot

coz he is british

apparently reading a race from the drivers cockpit like looking at the grandstand screens is very hard for drivers to read but like ppl like lewis vettel alonso and max can which impressed newey

[analog merlin]

wdym by if

[raw plaza]

like most drivers mental get very exhausted

[analog merlin]

newey been there

[raw plaza]

but drivers like lewis max have that extra edge coz their the greats

vettel

alonso

the best drivers of the past 2 decades

lmfao newey just said he knows who cant win a championship and he will be "gobsmacked" if they do

💀

ngl lando winning wdc is gonna be so underwhelming

coz he hasnt been impressing me so much in the fastest car

[grim egret]

nope

[raw plaza]

while 21 max drove amazing

[grim egret]

a lando pole is a 2nd row in

[raw plaza]

atleast fought lewis since start

max should win his 4th pls 🙏

red bull owes him that much

[grim egret]

that car will never be fixed cause fia found out their cheat

[hushed olive]

Tractor Martin is over

[raw plaza]

all the lh fans listen to the newey podcast lmao 140 and dont blame red bull

[grim egret]

why?

[raw plaza]

he knows lance cant win 😭

[hushed olive]

OMG I PREDICTED IT

[raw plaza]

about the fia decision to unlap cars .the extreme lh fans make it seem it was red bull and max who made that decision and make it seem their villians

[grim egret]

na it was race director

[raw plaza]

fia made the decision and max has to take the oppurtunity

he was the champioship lead until silverstone and hungary 💀

[grim egret]

it wasnt FIA but race director

[raw plaza]

yea race director but making red bull look bad aint fair

[grim egret]

that race as per rules was supposed to end under SC

but that would have been an anti climax for netflix

[raw plaza]

a decision was made and max took the oppurtunityt

thats it lol

[grim egret]

i dont dispute that'

hamilton said it himself had he been in max shoes he would have taken the oppotunity too, the entire grid would

its money

[raw plaza]

when i saw it i thought "he just did it to make the champship fight intresting "lmfaoo

💀

the race director i mean

[grim egret]

christian horner asked why dont they let these lapped cars overtake the SC so they can get a motor race going,

race director only allowed the cars between ham and max to overtake

[grim egret]

which is a firable offence, he is there to ensure safety et al not to make a spectacle

[raw plaza]

i mean ofc he will try to ask but its not christian who said lets do it its the race director who has the final decision

[grim egret]

dude I know, are u reading or puting words in my mouth

it was a radio battle between toto and christian all of that season

[raw plaza]

yea but makes u wonder if fia just did for pure entertainment value

[grim egret]

not FIA dude

race director

[raw plaza]

i know but did they fire him?

no?

[grim egret]

they moved him to somewhere else and he quit

they made an investigation and concluded he was wrong

and removed him from that position and made some changes that Team principals cant call the directors office anymore

[raw plaza]

its all behind the stuff tho

they dont need to reveal everything to us

[grim egret]

???

[raw plaza]

there are company secrets

which they dont need to reveal

[grim egret]

dude what are u talking about?

[raw plaza]

nvm 💀 its just patent stuff

companies can keep some secrets like how teams keep secret about their cars

[cosmic vapor]

are we fucking talking about ad21 again

Max Verstappen leaves Redbull to join the newly formed 11th F1 Monster Energy Racing.

Monster Mad Max back with a vengeance. Christian Horner and Toto Wolff storm out the paddock “No Mikey that is so not right” Toto is heard screaming down the phone at Susie Wolff.

Adrian Newey sparks a cigar as Aston Martin releases a car so fast and streamline that it’s technically an aeroplane ✈️

[pure aurora]

and gets banned by the FIA

[snow swan]

Oh, like the new floor?

[fiery grail]

Can't believe andrian newey went to aston martin

[stiff venture]

No, no. You want leclerc to win on merit.

[wet sequoia]

No he’s just a Leclerc d rider to the point he makes other fan bases look sane and so depressed when Leclerc is not winning that I nearly make myself rule 1

[cosmic vapor]

oi bruh

i am not a d rider i am humble it’s just i’m tryna be optimistic

i still think verstappen and hamilton are better than him

and alonso

[stiff venture]

No personal attacks

[wet sequoia]

I’m aware but it’s not a personal attack

I blocked him from an incident before so I wouldn’t have to commit rule 1

[cosmic vapor]

ban me?

i apologize

Stroll doesn't deserve a wdc... if he wins one is for the car not because he is the best driver

[blazing sedge]

Who can write lyrics or already have these lyrics

[winged dagger]

if he’s here for long enough + keeps the consistent form that debate can actually happen

[grim egret]

max has said many of times he is almost at the edge of retirement

i honestly think he will retire at the end of his contract

Max might retire at the end of 2026 if Red Bull make a lousy car for new regulations

The Race (@wearetherace) on X

🚨 All 10 teams complied with #F1's financial regulations in 2023, with Honda + Alpine committing engine cost cap procedural breaches (without exceeding the cap itself).

The cost cap administration will propose that those breaches are settled via an 'accepted breach agreement'.

Twitter · Sep 11, 2024, 8:18 AM

[regal needle]

Oh my Gosh! 😯

No wonder they commiting a Cost Cap

[cyan saffron]

Great cost cap if half the suppliers breach it.

[pseudo quail]

First year of the cap for engines and a breach like with the first year of the cost cap for the cars

[narrow garnet]

without exceeding the cap itself

it's a procedual breach, would have been something to do with the accounting side of the operation

[crude flame]

It can just be something as minor as forgetting to put something or putting something in the wrong place in a document

and when ferrari doesnt screw up strategy

[wet sequoia]

So 2 weeks ago then

[remote knoll]

i think u mean McLaren

[wet sequoia]

Sheesh, McLaren make one mistake at Hungary and the strats jokes never end 🤦

[remote knoll]

true but im not joking 😉

[grizzled gate]

PAPAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[wet sequoia]

Lucky for us Ferrari is the bigger joke

[fiery mica]

Papaya rules 💀

Auraless name

[pure aurora]

RULLEEEEEES

[acoustic mirage]

lmaoo

[barren charm]

Ok, tell me

Which did a better strategy and the Italian GP?

McLaren?

Yeah, i thought so.

[wet sequoia]

Ok tell me besides Ferrari who ran a 1 stop strategy?

Tell me who did 4 pitstops at the Canadian GP?

[barren charm]

Who won the race

[wet sequoia]

Who won Miami?

Who won Hungary?

[barren charm]

Don't change the subject

[wet sequoia]

Who won Spa?

[barren charm]

Who won in Italy?

Tell me, who won

[wet sequoia]

So tunnel visioned on 1 race

Who has more points in WCC and WDC

[barren charm]

Ferrari improved in strategies and now it's McLaren who has to improve that

I support both teams and there's no problem in admitting it.

[wet sequoia]

McLaren have improved, Ferrari just had far less tyre degradation this race

[barren charm]

McLaren improved THE CAR

Not the strategies

2024 isn't the first time they fuck up in strategies. Or at least do bad strategies.

Silverstone '23 is an example where they lost a very possible double podium.

[wet sequoia]

Ha yes

[barren charm]

And then a year later in the same track they lose a 1-2

[wet sequoia]

Because THEY were responsible for the safety car

[barren charm]

The thing is:

McLaren has to improve strategies

Ferrari did.

Past is past, now is now.

[wet sequoia]

You are aware depending on the strengths and weaknesses of your car on the track you have differing strategies right?

[mortal prairie]

mclaren would cook if they signed hannah schmitz

[wet sequoia]

Max would tell you redacted rule 1 after his raging the last few races

[barren charm]

Yes, i'm aware.

[barren charm]

And Max would be

DESTROYING

ANNIHILATING

SCHOOLING

Norris if he was in the McLaren as his teammate.

But welp.

[wet sequoia]

So your aware they can’t run a 1 stop strategy if the car has higher tyre degradation then some other teams right?

[barren charm]

Ok, i'm gonna give you the right on that. Alright.

So what about Silverstone and Hungary?

[wet sequoia]

Silverstone last year or this year

[barren charm]

This year.

[fringe yew]

Leclerc on pole I dreamed it

[wet sequoia]

Norris choose his tyre strategy, Piastri I’ll give you that he got a raw deal (Silverstone)

[barren charm]

Well there's the thing.

Who fucked strategies more this year? Ferrari or McLaren?

[wet sequoia]

Hungary while they have Norris the undercut to protect him from Hamilton they probably didn’t expect Norris to act like that for so many laps

[barren charm]

Exactly, not Ferrari.

So yeah, even as a McLaren fan i wouldn't say Ferrari is the bigger joke.

[wet sequoia]

And yet McLaren are 2-4 for WDC and basically 1 race away from 1st in WCC

How many times did they box Leclerc in Canada?

[barren charm]

And maybe they would even more further if it wasn't for the Silverstone fuck up. You noticed?

And if Norris was a really good driver.

[wet sequoia]

And why did Leclerc finish 11th in Austria?

[barren charm]

Why trying to change the subject?

[wet sequoia]

Are you going to remain narrow sighted forever?

[barren charm]

I have my points of view.

McLaren made mistakes under the season

And so did Lando

That has to improve.

[wet sequoia]

You demand answers to your questions, and when I question Ferrari mistakes you cry “Don’t change the subject”

And don’t even answer

[barren charm]

Well, Ferrari made mistakes either so yeah.

[wet sequoia]

Night all

I’m tired and cranky now, going to read

[fiery mica]

for baku?

[proven leaf]

Norris chose the tires ? Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t he say to use whatever tire ?

[tribal vapor]

will Perez win

[drifting sapphire]

if he can buck up, yes.

[barren charm]

No (i think)

[thin berry]

Because he had a contact at the beginning and they had to change his front wing on lap 3 but they fucked up the pitstop

who’s coming after leclerc

I was summoned

🤺

He came out P19 and climbed all the way back up to 11 don’t give me that bullshit right now

[dire crest]

i mean sure he did have contact with the wing but everyone else also had to pit

and yeah changing a front wing takes more time than a regular stop but i wouldnt call austria a good performance from him either way

like he had a whole hour, or 71 laps to gain the 10 seconds he lost on that stop, which he barely did

[thin berry]

Not on lap 3???

[dire crest]

but they did pit after, that was his only stop

[thin berry]

And 10s is a huge time to make up when you’re in the middle of the field?

[dire crest]

his stop was only 10 seconds longer than everyone elses, surely in 71 laps of racing hed be able to make that up?

[dire crest]

it absolutely is but it was still a relatively weak performance

[thin berry]

At any moment tbh unless you have an incredibly dominant car like Lewis or Max in 2021 or 22 onwards

[thin berry]

No it’s not

[dire crest]

given his incredible standard on pace and consistancy i wouldnt call austria an amazing performance from him

[thin berry]

I don’t think you understand how much 10s is in F1 when everything plays out by a 10th of a second

Not calling it amazing is different from calling it weak

[dire crest]

i do know how much 10 seconds is but i dont think a 10s longer pitstop should completely put you out of the points

[dire crest]

relatively* weak

compared to his usual standard of having an incredible pace and consistancy

[thin berry]

Still not I’m sorry

And also, he’s driving this thing called a car which has its own weaknesses and issues

[thin berry]

It really does

As I said, everything plays out by a tenth of a second in F1, especially this year

Even a second is absolutely huge

[cyan saffron]

Max and Lewis in Monza 2021

[barren charm]

Don't even bother tbh

I don't even know why i did.

[kindred cedar]

Is someone really tryna demerit leclerc after him performing so well recently

[thin berry]

Tale as old as time tbh

Bro is making Ferrari history with a car that’s running on hopes and dreams but apparently it’s not enough

[barren charm]

Bro really said Ferrari is a bigger joke than McLaren this year. 😭

Yeah

That speaks volumes

[snow swan]

real

[cosmic vapor]

10 seconds at the start of the race is close to race end

mate that was a bad race

i’ll admit

look now though

since spa leclerc has been the best driver on the grid arguably (verstappen struggling cuz car is shit)

[barren charm]

Bro imagine discrediting Leclerc this year

[cosmic vapor]

on god

[barren charm]

I still think is Max tbh

[cosmic vapor]

oh yeah overall yes

he’s the best

[kindred cedar]

Best driver in terms of getting points, hamiltons still the best driver skill wise imo

[barren charm]

How he drove that piece of shit into a podium in the Dutch GP

[cosmic vapor]

but since spa in terms of this year

[barren charm]

Was insane.

[kindred cedar]

Max comes a closs second

[barren charm]

Like

[cosmic vapor]

monza was fucking spectacular the tire management was crazy

the spa pole?

like tf

[barren charm]

Mf did a podium on a car that couldn't turn

[cosmic vapor]

that car was barely accepting p5

[simple nest]

bro I watched that race, felt boring cause Lando lead most of the race

[barren charm]

Real

[fringe yew]

Yeah, I literally saw that on the TV on my dream 😭

[cosmic vapor]

stressful for me cuz piastri was sitting behind leclerc the entire fucking race

in a bloody rocket ship

[kindred cedar]

I liked it (i started watching last year so my expectations are lower than my short freind)

[snow swan]

im ok with lando leading races

[kindred cedar]

ISTG

[simple nest]

I’ve been watching for years

[kindred cedar]

PIASTRI KEEPS GIVING ME HEART ATTAX

[cosmic vapor]

same

[simple nest]

but started to get more into it this year

[snow swan]

bro fr

[simple nest]

but yet

I still find it more fun to watch cars race in circles

[cosmic vapor]

same lol

[simple nest]

for hours and hours

[cosmic vapor]

i’ve been watching since 2017 but this year i’m more into it

i’m going to canada next year and maybe monza if i’m not broke

[kindred cedar]

Woahhh

[snow swan]

oscar gave me a heart attack on the second chicane in monza like fuckin hell

[kindred cedar]

Ill prob go to abu dhabi next year

[kindred cedar]

Lmao

[simple nest]

just why

[snow swan]

bro doesnt give a shit about the wdc lando has a chance of getting. and ngl. i stand by it

tbh webber and him only agreed to sign the mclaren contract only if oscar wouldnt be treated as a number two driver

[cosmic vapor]

i’m so excited everyone’s predicting leclerc win for baku

wdc here we come

[snow swan]

yh but hes not consistent

the upgrade packages will either change massively or not at all

[cosmic vapor]

who

[simple nest]

Idefk if I can even watch the Azerbaijan race

[snow swan]

leclerc

[simple nest]

cause a few weeks ago

[cosmic vapor]

how so

[dire crest]

i never said hes been performing poorly recently, in fact i said his standard performance actually is exceptional and that he usually is incredibly fast and consistant

[simple nest]

Disney took away my ESPN

[cosmic vapor]

been on the podium since spa

[barren charm]

He wasn't, recently he is.

[snow swan]

he has maybe one or two good performances then the car or himself lets him down

[simple nest]

which is where all the races are aired on in the US

[cosmic vapor]

he hasn’t really made many mistakes this year

[simple nest]

Except Monaco this year

that was on ABC

[barren charm]

Disney ruins everything holy fuck

[snow swan]

not mistakes no

[simple nest]

it’s just that they are trying to get a new deal

[cosmic vapor]

or errors really the car has been shit a lot tho

[snow swan]

the pace is just not there 70% of the time

[simple nest]

so they can still have it on tv

[dire crest]

its a 6x on leclerc winning on baku, do i bet on it? y/n

[simple nest]

made me miss college football

[snow swan]

its the car

[simple nest]

made me miss Monday night football

now F1

[snow swan]

the ferrari isnt at its full potential

[simple nest]

maybe

if I get it back by Sunday

[snow swan]

it would be rlly good if newey was to go there

but aston snatched him

[dire crest]

nobody can match a Stroll offer

[snow swan]

fr

[dire crest]

they have too much money laying around and arent scared to throw it all at newey

[snow swan]

atp 2025 could make stroll a wdc more than leclerc

[cosmic vapor]

yes

[cosmic vapor]

???

[dire crest]

also didnt ferrari like deny newey the position he wanted? something about a disagreement on his offiical title and position in the team

[dire crest]

terrible take

[cosmic vapor]

nah bro i accept opinions but like wtf

[snow swan]

newey can make that aston a winning car

[cosmic vapor]

it’s not gonna be a rocket ship that quickly

2026 most likely

[snow swan]

u never know

[cosmic vapor]

newey doesn’t even start till march

[snow swan]

hes performed miracles before

i meant 2026 not 2025

[cosmic vapor]

there’s no time for him to actually design the car

ok

makes sense

[dire crest]

hes allowed to start working march 2025 because of rbr one year no-compete agreement, and even then with the cost cap his upgrades will not put the car in a championship winning position from the getgo

[snow swan]

wait till audi comes in first

see what they can do

[dire crest]

he will probably just be instantly directed to start working for the 2026 reg car

[barren charm]

Yeah, that's if AMR only runs one car (Lance) and that's also if the AMR is 3 SECONDS faster than the 2nd fastest car on the grid.

[snow swan]

we will have to see

[fiery mica]

lmao what are u saying

[snow swan]

quite frankly lance needs to be out

[dire crest]

dont forget, stroll needs to be constantly given adderall so that he can concentrate for a whole race without binning it into a wall or someone else

[barren charm]

Because Stroll is barely faster tyan anyone tbh

[snow swan]

if aston wanna win

[barren charm]

than*

[snow swan]

lance needs to go

[barren charm]

Real.

Max-Alonso is the lineup to go.

[snow swan]

for christ sake give lawson the seat

[turbid pine]

Real tho , but I doubt it would happen any time soon

[snow swan]

redbull arent giving him shit

[dire crest]

isnt he rumoured to get the vcarb seat for 25?

[fiery mica]

Lawson?

[dire crest]

ya

[snow swan]

yes but the thing is

christian believes ric is their golden chance in the future

which is bulshit

[dire crest]

he shouldnt be rushed like antonelli or sargeant, i think its good if he gets a year to adjust in the vcarb

[fiery mica]

RBR should steal Franco from Williams

[snow swan]

yuki is out performing him

[fiery mica]

that man is in touching 40s 😭

[snow swan]

FR

[turbid pine]

Nahhhh , I would say Yuki is not ric. He did had his prime but idk why he fell off

[snow swan]

danny isnt the same

[dire crest]

we dont know that yet, franco performed well at a track which heavily favours the williams. the next few races will show how good franco actually is

[snow swan]

he wont be in his prime anymore

[dire crest]

but they dont want yuki

[snow swan]

just wont happen

[snow swan]

think its cuz hes small xDDD

jks

[turbid pine]

Dam , then idk I guess we have to see what they will do for 2026

[snow swan]

poor yuki tho

[fiery mica]

Because he cannot perform well when hes actively competing against someone. He did amazing as long as he was the 1st driver (2014 seb was just... weird) but as soon as max was in the car, he fumbled

[dire crest]

i think tis just a personal issue with yuki, he definitely should be in contention for that seat

[turbid pine]

Maybe that would be it

[fiery mica]

I think the Honda-RBR-AM politics is seriously hurting him

[snow swan]

can we just talk about fucking checo

why the fuck is he in that seat

[fiery mica]

god please no, I get so angry

Hes like??? so useless?

[clever wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/xrd-exrd-crypto-btc-eth-gif-23801255

[dire crest]

• its not like the current rbr would benefit dannys racing style anyway. His style is all about pointyness and oversteer, something the rbr was amazing at before but since neweys departure the rbr is just a pile of trash anyway

[fiery mica]

Half of the time i forget that RBR's 2nd car is even in the race

[snow swan]

gasly does bad - gets kicked out
albon- does a bit bad mainly is unlucky and gets kicked

WHY THE FUCK IS HE STILL THERE

all though

[dire crest]

money

[snow swan]

his merch sales are through the roof

[dire crest]

sponsorships

cota and mexico sales

[fiery mica]

Danny style is very similar to max (max is more extreme)

[snow swan]

sponsors are keeping him there

all that mexican dough

[dire crest]

yeah, but if max is struggling with it danny wont stand a chance

[dire crest]

cartel cash fr

[snow swan]

im sayin

thoughts on colapinto

i feel bad hes only in the team for a few races then has nowhere to go

[dire crest]

good debut, but then again it was on monza which heavily favours the williams

[fiery mica]

Honestly Danny is straight up washed rn, especially with the Aussie PR?? Considering Piastri is getting more love there now

[snow swan]

haas wont sign him

sauber maybe

[fiery mica]

he is funny af i need him on the grid

[snow swan]

low chance

i like the guy

[dire crest]

no im p sure sauber is sniffing up bottas

[turbid pine]

Nah low chance , I think they might stick with bottas

[snow swan]

gots to surely

[dire crest]

bottas has proven a million times hes the best second driver oat

[snow swan]

bottas actually performs well

zhou on the other hand. i like the guy but he aint it

[dire crest]

he can fill in the gaps when #1 doesnt perform, and he can fend off incredibly well wen #1 does perform

[fiery mica]

Do yall think hulkenberg will get on the podium with Audi

[snow swan]

god knows

[dire crest]

i think hes getting that podium in singapore

maybe that win, perchance

[snow swan]

see how the car is first

[quick knot]

yes

[fiery mica]

Win??

idk idk

[turbid pine]

Maybe , but not with sauber if they keep spending the money on the freaking social media part

[dire crest]

when Kmag comes back with 0 penalty points and no seat for next year he is going to do anything in his power to get hulk to that top step

[snow swan]

id love him to but thats like me saying albon will win. its just a low chance

[quick knot]

Yes

[snow swan]

kmag aint getting a seat next year

[fiery mica]

Hes straight up gonna crash all the other 18 drivers

[dire crest]

no kmag is about to take out the entire grid for hulk when he comes back, its not like he has a future in f1 anyway so he can take all the penalty points

[snow swan]

its his time to go properly now

[dire crest]

exactly

[turbid pine]

Don't remind me this , my goat is leaving 😭😭😭🐐🐐

[fiery mica]

would be funny ngl

[snow swan]

id pay to see that

[dire crest]

gets 1 point and a race ban? My goat.

[snow swan]

he said hes happy either way

[quick knot]

yes

[snow swan]

no seat or a seat

[dire crest]

he knows he needs to go, he might aswell go out with a bang and get hulk to that top step

[snow swan]

bros lived a good career

[turbid pine]

True that

[fiery mica]

Both of the haas drivers were such good debuts

[quick knot]

fr

[snow swan]

leo leclerc for audi

[quick knot]

Yes

[fiery mica]

kind of insane that Hulk was considered a definite future champion

[snow swan]

or my goat latifi

[fiery mica]

yes

[dire crest]

hes had a bit of an alonso situation where he never was able to chose the right teams lol

[snow swan]

goatifi

[turbid pine]

He is!!! Just give him a good car

[snow swan]

bro fr

i feel bad for the guy

[dire crest]

hes definitely still in amazing shape dragging that shitbox of a haas to points

[snow swan]

thought hed get a podium after his first pole

[turbid pine]

I swear Hulkenberg is the most underrated driver as of rn

[fiery mica]

Frfr, the fact that he got screwed over with the mclaren situation will always kill me

[dire crest]

hopefully audi can nail these regs

[fiery mica]

Which other team is joining for 2026??

Audi and?

[dire crest]

apparently their ahead on schedule for their engine, and audi are notoriously known for having good engines and being fairly dominant in any sport they touch

[turbid pine]

Just audi

[snow swan]

honda with aston i think

[fiery mica]

Andretti?

[snow swan]

ford with redbull

nope

[dire crest]

Alpine Onlyfans F1 team

[snow swan]

they got declined

[turbid pine]

Haven't heard any news

[snow swan]

andretti tried but f1 declined them

[fiery mica]

wait fr?

thats so sad, i was checking out their center and they seem so prepared

[dire crest]

imagine koenigsegg in f1, their engines would be monstrous

theyre known for pulling every bit of hp out of every cylinder

[snow swan]

tried to join haas but they declined them. then they appealed to have an 11th team on the grid

still got declined

[turbid pine]

Damm

[snow swan]

its sad

would have been interesting

[fiery mica]

Yeah

The team should increase imo, atleast 12 teams

[snow swan]

idk

[fiery mica]

Have they joined any motorsports?

[snow swan]

i like 10 teams icl

[snow swan]

[snow swan]

i think wec series not sure tho

[fiery mica]

Honestly i just want more teams fighting for the wins and if it means increasing the number of drivers then so be it

[snow swan]

nvm they dont have a racing team

searched it

[fiery mica]

Itd be nice to see bigger brands joining like Porshe/Lambo/Bugatti/Toyota etc

[dire crest]

they have infact not, but their regular cars are known to have absolutely monstrous performance for the amount of cylinders they have. Those swedish engineers dont fucking mess around with their cylinders, they want every little bit of performance from it

[snow swan]

id love porsche

[fiery mica]

especially now that the sport is getting bigger and theres more profits

[snow swan]

toyota was a team

yeah but creating that in a corporate surrounding versus a competitive surrounding makes alot of different

[fiery mica]

max would retire on the spot

[snow swan]

real

[turbid pine]

But how that would work?

[snow swan]

dunno

love to see it tho

2 drivers from each country

[fiery mica]

French civil war 2.0

Porsche is in Formula E if i remember correctly, and now audi (their sister) is joining f1. Lambo wont join as ferrari is already in and have a great understanding of the sport (being the most successful team in terms of championships) and if they lose to them (which they would) it would hurt their brand

[snow swan]

can be f2 or other motorsport drivers

[turbid pine]

As an Esport it would be fun but real F1 , idk . I think alone it needs a lot of money in my opinion. Unless they race in some old cars maybe from the 2000s

[snow swan]

race around a few circuits in the states

[fiery mica]

Yeah Lambo and Pagani are a no no because of the politics involving them but it still sucks tbh

[snow swan]

id even pay to see go karting be olympic sports

[turbid pine]

Fr me too , probably the only interesting thing

[snow swan]

real

Sure, and f1 engines with their various parts are very different from regular ones, but the koenigsegg engineering team is like the Lockheed martin of the car world, theyre crackheads who work 25 hours a day 8 days a week who sell their souls for the best performance

[fiery mica]

motorsports can be in olympics similar to how football is in it. Like juniours being involved instead of top drivers

[dire crest]

they would adapt and overcome, very effectively

[turbid pine]

Honestly, who watches Olympics anymore? I do like sports but do you guys watched this one?

[snow swan]

i went to paris

to see the olympics

it was alright

[fiery mica]

yeah? This olympics had more viewership and seat sold than 2016 rio

[dire crest]

i saw that turkish guy shoot on tv it was terrifying

[snow swan]

ngl im from the uk and gb did shit XDD

[fiery mica]

I watched leon marchand go 4 for 4 and it was awesome

[dire crest]

Armand Duplantis broke his own record 🇸🇪 ^_^

[snow swan]

[delicate pewter]

How do you rank baku gp among the hardest Tracks?

[slate osprey]

Sigma sigma on the wall

Who's the skibidiest of them all

[stiff bough]

Except unlike Alonso, Hulkenberg never got the choice in picking the good teams. He could only get the best that was available to him, and every top team skipped past him.

[dire crest]

yeah this is what i meant my english isnt the best sorry lol ^_^

[hushed olive]

Yall renember merc being a scooter in brazil last year ?

[stiff venture]

[cosmic vapor]

[tender spoke]

yeah i remember that

[still forge]

Go for a memory refresh to the highlight video
First frame is Leclerc in the wall
I had completely forgotten about the formation lap crash jesus

[tender spoke]

oh heck i forgot about that, hydraulics issue or something

[cyan saffron]

yeah, hydraulics

[winged dagger]

3rd

behind monaco and singapore imo

[pure aurora]

But do they spread 50 tons of freedom?

[hushed olive]

Level of difficulty of verstappen's rivals
2021 Hamilton: hard
2022 leclerc: medium
2023 Perez: Easy
2024 Norris: Easy/Medium

[stiff venture]

2025: piastri?
2026: stroll?

[winged dagger]

Piastri will be hard as Max has an inferior car

But Max is overall a more consistent and a more reliable driver even in a tractor

[winged dagger]

I mean 2026 would be his 12th year in F1, already has a longer career than Nico by then

[cosmic vapor]

valid

leclerc was ass in 22

hope he can do better next opportunity he gets if he ever does

[sharp oxide]

Alonso my beloved

Hope Newey cooks with the Aston car
