monaco-gp

[fiery mica]

yep

[barren rock]

the race is on sunday

[lilac vine]

matureness wise yes

[split bane]

Lando never gained any position on the start when he wasn't starting in pole

[cosmic vapor]

mclaren is testing a higher downforce setup

[barren rock]

exactly

[forest pendant]

Webber doesn’t want the history to repeat itself

[split bane]

Not as slow as here

[cosmic vapor]

if you look at the castle section mclaren is faster and they are kinder to tires they’ll be back on pace in fp3

[lilac nova]

Yea I know. Who won FP1/2?

[cosmic vapor]

i trust leclerc is taking pole

[fiery mica]

Ver topped fp1 and Lec topped fp2

[barren rock]

FP1 VER FP2 LEC

[lilac nova]

Cheers! Mates

[lilac vine]

Still really slow

[cosmic vapor]

MY BOYSSSS

[lilac vine]

I'm hoping for a championship fight honestly

[snow swan]

max aint maxxing

[lilac vine]

He is

[cosmic vapor]

please let this be a fight between max and leclerc that is interesting pleasee

[tidal tendon]

he is tf?

[fiery mica]

i need a lec vs ver fight 💔

[lilac vine]

Car isn't carring

[barren rock]

istg frrr

[tidal tendon]

max is currently the best driver bro wdym

[snow swan]

im not watching this weekend, i stated it as a whole, on the basis how this season is going

[lilac vine]

far tho? I like leclerc but Ferrari isn't helping much

[tidal tendon]

ye it looks like you havent watched a few too

[snow swan]

chat is checo gonna win

[mellow steeple]

why is slowmode still enabled?

[tidal tendon]

you would see the state of red bull

[lilac vine]

possibly yes

[barren rock]

no idea

[tidal tendon]

no way

[fiery mica]

the car sucks, hes actually performing far above than he should

[mellow steeple]

the session ended almost 40 minutes ago

[tidal tendon]

frr

[snow swan]

you think max is having a spotless season?

[fiery mica]

Hopefully ferrari will be better in 2025

[snow swan]

mhm, mclaren rising to glory, next season is going to be very interesting

[lilac vine]

They have too tbh they have Lewis coming

[fiery mica]

Bro a driver cannot have a spotless season if the car sucks

[snow swan]

norris for WDC

[tidal tendon]

not exactly, but nearly

[split bane]

It will be way better.

[lilac vine]

Maybe

[peak river]

Like my mom always said “don’t jinx it”

[tidal tendon]

nuhuh

[quick canopy]

Okay

[barren rock]

he's pushing the car beyond its boundaries man what r u on about

[snow swan]

i know, thats what i said, he aint having a spotless season, for whatever season

[snow swan]

next season, i mean

[tidal tendon]

maybe then

[barren rock]

i dont think so tbf, i think Piastri is a better fighter

[lilac vine]

I think this season might be his only chance

[snow swan]

omg please max fans, dont get offended, i am just stating a fact that max is not having a season like 2022, 2023. I mean no disrespect to him, i said "max is not maxxing" meaning he isnt winning almost every race

[tidal tendon]

true

[fiery mica]

Same

[tidal tendon]

max fan? im a ferrari fan bro

[fiery mica]

not offended but max is definitely maxxing, the car simply isnt dominant to pull those seasons off anymore

[tidal tendon]

im talking realistic

[split bane]

One of us, a real Tifoso

[snow swan]

you are righjt

[lilac vine]

Them throwing Carlos is sad

[fiery mica]

will i be a bad tifosa if i said im happy :)))

[tidal tendon]

yeah but nothing to do about it

[barren rock]

we are not offended brother we are just saying that Mclaren and others have caught up and that Red Bull is lacking behind, despite all of this Verstappen is fighting up ahead with a weaker car, giving his Max

[snow swan]

yeah he too has a chance, but yk norris has more experience

[snow swan]

you are right

[barren rock]

Piastri has better talent than norris imo

[lilac vine]

Yes because he won Ferrari They're only 2 wins last season

[fiery mica]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[tidal tendon]

imo true

[fiery mica]

2 wins?

[barren rock]

he doesnt bottle starts, he knows fighting and overtaking

[tidal tendon]

2 wins when

[split bane]

No, it was a step that has to be done to get more than another driver to get engineers from your opponents.

[lilac vine]

Was it one or 2?

[barren rock]

they had only one win last race bro

[tidal tendon]

singapore was the only one

[barren rock]

one win, Carlos Sainz

[fiery mica]

Also, its very circumstantial so I dont mind, he did good in singapore but at the end of the day the driving style of charles and carlos are very different

[peak river]

It just me or Checo enter his villain era?

[lilac vine]

I mixed up haha, but still it was against dominant max and checo in the rb

[fiery mica]

exactly and we have lewis hamilton obviously im very happy.

[barren rock]

rest 19 were Verstappen, 2 were Perez

[tidal tendon]

carlos doesnt have the champion mentality imo

[lilac vine]

But him going from Ferrari to Williams is insane, he went to a literal junior team. I think Kimi is rushed into Merc.

[fiery mica]

Max and Checo were nowhere near the win in singapore, if it hadnt been carlos, it wouldve been literally anyone else. again circumstantial

[barren rock]

he doesnt have mentality but he surely has the talent and experience

[lilac vine]

He clutched and won

[tidal tendon]

antonelli shoulve gone to williams

[fiery mica]

Same, he performs the best when hes a 1st driver in a midfield team

[split bane]

Carlos holds up the pressure better than Leclerc but Hamilton will be able to teach Leclerc how to manage it better

[lilac vine]

Exactly, amazing driver but just needs a push.

[fiery mica]

there is no clutching when no one is even competing for the win my guy

[tidal tendon]

leclerc would be a monster if he listens to lewis well

[fiery mica]

I dont agree but 🤷‍♀️

[barren rock]

ikr Merc had opportunity of CARLOS SAINZ JR and they somehow took and F2 driver instead

[split bane]

It is right to have different opinions.

[fiery mica]

Williams are no longer a junior team for mercedes, vowles is against that for whatever reason

[barren rock]

yess precisely

[tidal tendon]

it would be a shame if antonelli underperforms by far

[barren rock]

vowles is weird tbh

[fiery mica]

whod u rather take? Carlos Sainz or 2nd Max Verstappen?

[fiery mica]

omg the whole courting thing with sainz weirded me out so much like what is going on????

[lilac vine]

He will in my opinion

[lilac vine]

His not a 2nd max verstappen.

[barren rock]

how do i know if its Max Verstappen? ive never seen him in an F1 car, i have Carlos at my hand AND i also have an already experienced Mick Schumacher

[tidal tendon]

you can sign antonelli anytime u want bro, he shouldve gone to williams to get experience

[lilac vine]

We did

[barren rock]

he will, George will outperform him

[lilac vine]

He drove George's car in monza

[split bane]

Surely he won't do as Hamilton this year or in Lewis golden years

[tidal tendon]

the last time i saw, he was at the wall at parabolica ✍️

[lilac vine]

No too far, maybe as well as George

[fiery mica]

Honestly i think Toto panicked because he already lost max verstappen for this reason. Now he wants to get antonelli any way possible because antonelli is definitely a future wdc

[barren rock]

alr fine but some practice sessions doesnt justify you getting a seat in F1 cmon

[fiery mica]

no one knw max verstappen was THE max verstappen until he was put in the car.

[hollow granite]

MAX MAX MAX SUPER MAX MAX SUPER SUPER MAX

[lilac vine]

I complete agree with you tho

[barren rock]

Mick is overlooked just because he wasnt able to perform in the haas tractor

[tidal tendon]

mick had talent to earn the merc seat but didnt get the cchance

[lilac vine]

I'm just frustrated that they let Kimi go to merc

[split bane]

Toto is still aiming for Max, he wants to replace George with him, when George's contract will end

[barren rock]

agreed, but he was outperforming in a mid section car

[fiery mica]

Also Antonelli has alot of talent. Hes probably f2's biggest talent since charles leclerc in 2017

[fiery mica]

everyone wants max

[quaint rivet]

Can perez already change his nationality to azerbaijaian lmao

[barren rock]

yes, and Vowles really triggered me "He's not special"

[tidal tendon]

fr fr 💀

[fiery mica]

Im sure he'll do well. the max we see right now has been forged by multiple crashes

[barren rock]

like what wil you expect, him winning 7 WCs in a trashbox within 2 years?

[lilac vine]

Antonelli is amazing, but he just should've went to Williams

[tidal tendon]

like colapinto is special tf are ur talking about 💀

[lilac vine]

It's frustrating that they over rushing the kid

[barren rock]

IFKRRRRRRR

[split bane]

Yeah, it is an absolutely ridicoulus idea and I will never be right on this but Verstappen could also go to Ferrari when Lewis contract will end

[lilac vine]

Colapinto is good tho?

[fiery mica]

They probably wanted to but williams is being weird

[tidal tendon]

still wasnt the best option

[lilac vine]

Toto rushing him is just stupid

[barren rock]

im telling you, after some while people will look at Kimi and say "he wasnt special"

[fiery mica]

Max can go to mclaren right now and they'll probably buy out piastri's contract

[barren rock]

because being put in a mercedes seat sets the pressure much higher

[fiery mica]

well if he doesnt perform then i guess he wasnt

[snow swan]

what did i miss on fp1 and fp2

[lilac vine]

I love Kimi, I saw his qualifying in f2 which was amazing but still he should've went to Williams and then merc

[lilac vine]

I am stupid 2.0

[tidal tendon]

mick had the pressure too cuz his last name is "Schumacher"

[barren rock]

nah man, every driver needs some years then fight, look at any champion

[snow swan]

i am stupid, i am stupid...

[kindred cedar]

then Il Predestantino 2.0 in fp2

[thorny blade]

lando p17.. not my wdc

[lilac vine]

Lando doesn't rush fp

[thorny blade]

please let me have hope i like my delusion

[barren rock]

yes exactly, but people are being dumb, being a Schumacher doesnt mean youre default champion by birth and copy paste of your dad

[tidal tendon]

fr

[fiery mica]

There are some driver who are special from the start, Lewis, Max, Vettel, Id even say Charles. and then some drivers who need to become special like Lando Russel Button

[lilac vine]

I'm just frustrated over Kimi situation, Kimi crashed in his first time driving George's car

[vernal holly]

Perez domination could bore fans

[snow swan]

zhou domination could bore the fans

[lilac vine]

In Chinese f4

[barren rock]

Lando is underperforming and George wins by accident

[thorny blade]

perez to win every race (no other driver finishes a race out of fear of kmag)

[tidal tendon]

(still unclear)

[barren rock]

they build upon themselves and then the perform

[fiery mica]

George maiden win is a very nice win. Id definitely say if circumstances worked out, he'd be a f1 champion

[kindred cedar]

in south african f20

[atomic crag]

North Sentinel Rental Karts ain't ready for bro

[lilac vine]

George is a very good driver

[fiery mica]

im sorry Senna??? the man who was on the podium in his rookie year?

[haughty mason]

How is Merc doing

[barren rock]

i dont see much skill in george, he just pops up randomly, and if he crashes its never his fault

[barren rock]

im taking about championships brother

atleast he had a podium capable car

[lilac vine]

his luck is horribleee, his amazing tho trust me

[jade mural]

Congrats @lilac vine, you're now on lap 5

[fiery mica]

Brother, max didnt win championships until 2021... thats 5 years

[snow swan]

Not bad

[barren rock]

Mick Schumi did not

[clever wedge]

it was so sad when that wall pulled out in front of russell in singapore last year

[quaint rivet]

Bruh

[barren rock]

yes so he gained experience right? then after that even you know what happened when he got a fighting car

[lilac vine]

George could say the same.

[thorny blade]

your logic is all over the place man

[haughty mason]

Shit rb is good

[barren rock]

how so?

[fiery mica]

I literally said max was special from the start

[haughty mason]

If max wins it is over

[mortal yacht]

guys I missed the sessions, what are the poles?

[fiery mica]

Ver fp1 Lec fp2

[barren rock]

Max had talent, but not the car at the start

[snow swan]

RBR aint winning

[thorny blade]

one you talk about how some drivers are special from the start and you bring out this "he gained experience" when brought up abt max's early seasons

[tidal tendon]

A little announcement: I really miss the dutch anthem

[fiery mica]

My man the car doesnt matter if the driver is special????

[mortal yacht]

leclerc? crazy

[lilac vine]

me too kinda

[mortal yacht]

what about checo

[fiery mica]

exactly!! like what are u saying man

[fiery mica]

p3 and p2

[lilac vine]

guys what do you think of landos behaviour to everyone atm

[thorny blade]

he did very well

[mortal yacht]

yesss

[tidal tendon]

cringe

[barren rock]

so by that logic where was hamilton in 2022 and 2023? explain that

[tidal tendon]

i got triggered to his reaction after zandvoort win

[thorny blade]

a few race wins in an absolute rocket and he acts like hes on top of the world

[snow swan]

Checo domination could bore the fans????? (Not clickbait?!?!?!)

[tidal tendon]

fr

[lilac vine]

He is really frustrated tho

[thorny blade]

the car very much matters you wont see ollie bearman pulling off points in a bum ass haas

[thorny blade]

id be frustrated too if i bottled so much

[lilac vine]

Especially in the position he is in

[barren rock]

EXACLTY MY POINTTTT

[quaint rivet]

Guys what do u expect about doohan in 2025

[lilac vine]

Not much really

[tidal tendon]

i think he will be fine

but not so special

[thorny blade]

hes in an absolute rocket only 60 points away from max with enough races left to take it, he needs to stay confident but not cocky while performing as he needs

[barren rock]

@fiery mica answer this please

[quaint rivet]

Forgettable rookie for me (literally, i forgot he existed)

[fiery mica]

oh my god, youre running around in circles. This converstion was about Kimi and his debut. I said maybe hes not special enough to be the next max verstappen if he doesnt perform as max did in his first year. You said that sometimes the drivers need experiences and i agreed and said yes, sometimes the driver do need experience to be better but most of the champions are those that are special from the start. Max/Lewis/Vettel and even charles. YOU BROUGHT UP SENNA AND SCHUMACHER.

[lilac vine]

yupppp

[tidal tendon]

be calm dudes

[fiery mica]

The driver is still special and everyone knows that because theyre bringing the car to places where the car doesnt belong!! Thats why theyre still in top 4 teams.

[mortal yacht]

checo podium, and I'll buy a 24X24 checo poster and hang it in front of my bed, so that I can see his face everyday I wake up

[thorny blade]

some rookies dont need experience, alonso is driving like hes been in the sport for 20 something years already!

[barren rock]

all i was saying was that kimi doesnt deserve the mercedes seat, yet he needs a bit of "warm up" before he can go out and fight for wins

[fiery mica]

Exactly!Some rookies are just special and generational!

[verbal needle]

Fp2 has started?

[barren rock]

yes

[thorny blade]

no thats not what i said please stop it was a joke

[quaint rivet]

Saying senna wasnt special from start is the dumbest thing i seen here

[thorny blade]

it was like 2 hours ago

[verbal needle]

Just got an @ from carlbot saying it started lol

[thorny blade]

your discord must be really slow

[barren rock]

there were many other options for mercedes to choose from next year and they shouldnt have put an inexperienced F2 driver straight away

[fiery mica]

Also you brought up the TWO drivers that were so special in their rookie years that they changed the sports! Schumacher qualified 7th in his FIRST race against a veteran! after ONE DAY OF TESTING

[verbal needle]

It’s either that or carlbot is slow

[barren rock]

bro calm down

we are debating, not fighting

[fiery mica]

I am calm, this is just funny to me lmao

[barren rock]

ok then its fine

[fiery mica]

Senna and schumacher LMAO

[snow swan]

It already ended

[quaint rivet]

Senna got 2nd on a toleman on heavy rain in MONACO

[kindred cedar]

Cis hes the king of monaco

[quaint rivet]

yeah

[fiery mica]

also no, senna actually didnt have a podium capable car. the only podium that have been achieved in that car was by senna and iirc his teammates wasnt even close

[snow swan]

If an F1 driver got the most wins in an single circuit they are king of the circuit.

[barren rock]

im saying that the driver need some years to develop, some may not and instantly fight for titles but its very rare to find a driver like that

so merc shouldve placed Carlos or Mick in Merc and put Kimi in Williams

[fiery mica]

Yes they may, but Toto is looking for the Next Max Verstappen. If Kimi is not that then he'll simply not perform like max

[fiery mica]

Oh my god, Putting Kimi in a williams is NOT an option, williams is not the junior team anymore

[snow swan]

Lewis Hamilton - the king of Silverstone

[barren rock]

agreed, but if he doesnt, then its all out for merc, if he does then well done Toto

[barren rock]

its like a gamble

[fiery mica]

Exactly, hes taking the risk because thats the point of the sport omg.

[verbal needle]

Yeah ik that, just weird why i got the notification

[barren rock]

alr fine

[fiery mica]

It makes sense for them to put kimi in mercedes because kimi needs to get used to a top team. Theyre putting their all on 2026 regs.

[barren rock]

Ferrari doesnt do that, they put in haas, Red Bull doesnt do that, they put in RB but whatever

[barren rock]

fine bro im not hating kimi, im just saying that there were the options to them

[fiery mica]

dude I just dont think you understand and its okay its fine.

[fiery mica]

what options????

[barren rock]

omfg ive typed it like 5 times now

[snow swan]

why is it still live session

[barren rock]

CARLOS SAINZ, MICK SCHUMACHER

[snow swan]

no

both not promising tbh

[fiery mica]

my man, they do not want those options because they wanna prepare THEIR OWN ACADEMY DRIVER

[haughty mason]

not mick tho

[barren rock]

why not?

[fiery mica]

They wanna prepare kimi to prepare for 2026 regs 😭

[snow swan]

and at that point merc was kind of desperate for a second driver 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

[barren rock]

so then what wil happen to their other driver, Mick?

[quaint rivet]

Sainz 🇧🇹🇩🇿 but well the only option, id say antonelli is still a better one

[fiery mica]

Not only a second driver, they wanted someone who will be the 2nd lewis because they do not rate George like that

[barren rock]

yea

[snow swan]

exactly like they needed their own max

[snow swan]

and so debate solved its just a matter of urgency and who got who first yada yada yad

[fiery mica]

Mick is not their junior, hes the FDA junior and Mick is not promising enough and they wanna prepare thier own academy driver for 2026 regs because they want a 2nd max verstappen!

[quaint rivet]

Guys, what if albon came to merc?

[snow swan]

PLEAD EPELAE EOALDOEL

[barren rock]

ok

[snow swan]

plead eplea sPlease HAPPEN CUZ THIS WOULD BE SO GREST FKR ME I NEED IT BAD

[snow swan]

i would be happy

[quaint rivet]

Albon winning a race and destroying the rbs would be a great revenge

[fiery mica]

OMG YES

[barren rock]

we all would be ngl

[wanton kiln]

Ferrari Master🅱️lan

[outer venture]

What's going on rn

Like what happened in practice and shii

[cunning heron]

they drove a few laps and got some data

[full gulch]

Is free practice any representation of the actual race results

Is rb back

[stiff venture]

Let the record show a rookie is matching albon

[void saddle]

ok...

[wanton kiln]

The Argentinians in the Williams comment section are gonna love it

[outer venture]

Wait what was Franco like during practice

[stiff venture]

Imagine if he beats albon in some of these races haha

[wanton kiln]

Then there will be a headline
"Colapinto The Messi of F1"

[fiery mica]

crashed in fp1

[wanton kiln]

And he was fast in FP1 AND FP2

[fiery mica]

if colapinto performs well, is there any chance of his return in 2025?

[outer venture]

Wow interesting

[stiff venture]

They should get rid of albon for him

[wanton kiln]

....

I've heard some terrible takes
That's definitely the worst

[fiery mica]

bro...

[stiff venture]

If a rookie is already beating him it is better to invest in the younger driver.

[outer venture]

Albon and Carlos have the contract so unless they make a big mistake and terminate it there's probs no way, unless he wants to be a reserve

[fiery mica]

what abt other teams?

[wanton kiln]

I hope they do put him on the grid but there's barely any space on the grid

[stiff venture]

They can buy out those contracts

[outer venture]

Wth is thag

[fiery mica]

#monaco-gp message

Heres a take lmao

[stiff venture]

That’s why we need Andretti and Lexus on the grid

[fiery mica]

i wish they had just not re signed sargeant and went with colapinto for this year

[outer venture]

Probs, I think teams like sauber are prob thinking bout him, but it's a rally shitty team

[outer venture]

They resigned Sargeant?

[tired dagger]

Yeah

[fiery mica]

Sauber is gonna be Audi soon which will be fighting for podiums in 2026

[stiff venture]

Hahahaha that’s a good one

[fiery mica]

....??? bro its Audi

[wanton kiln]

...

[fiery mica]

ME

I legit had to take a moment and just laugh

[wanton kiln]

I'm glad I got into F1 via the Schumacher documentary and not DTS

[stiff venture]

How many car manufacturers have failed in the past? It’s basically the same team with a rebrand. Besides AMR is going to make a jump so I doubt Audi will be up there too.

[stiff venture]

Who?

[outer venture]

What's wrong with dts

I DIDNT WATCH IT

[fiery mica]

Hmm youre right in some sense but, its Audi, one of the best Engine makers (2026 will be engine based instead of aero) their sister company Porsche is amazing in WEC.

[outer venture]

I'm just asking

[stiff venture]

Older fans don’t like entertainment and think it dilutes the purity of the sport

[outer venture]

Oh

[fiery mica]

honestly, theres nothing wrong but when youre a fan of a sport, you should research a little bit especially the goats of the sport

[wanton kiln]

Nothing

[stiff venture]

We are assuming that is the case. I have a feeling areo will be massively important still. Not like when merc were dominant

[stiff venture]

[fleet aspen]

You get some F1 fans that don’t like DTS because they watched F1 before DTS and this makes them superior to new fans for some reason 🤷‍♂️

[fiery mica]

assuming about engine importance? because im not assuming, its been confirmed by the commentators and teams

[outer venture]

I mean I didn't really watch dts but I saw people hate on females for watching it or smthng

[stiff venture]

We still have seen the areo regulations be finalized and they haven’t start building it. Seems a bit early to be saying that

[fleet aspen]

2024 people just like to complain and whine about everything.

I like DTS think it’s a good show

[fiery mica]

Alot of the teams have actually started building the 2026 chassis and engines

[fleet aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/toto-wolff-wawing-all-i-want-is-to-meet-mr-toto-toto-wolff-gif-18241372

Mercedes are gonna be back in 2026 for sure

And I can see max at Mercedes for 2026

[stiff venture]

The engines yes but I don’t think they can start on other aspects until late next year

[stiff venture]

It will be good to see Russell leave f1

[empty urchin]

We are gonna see gpx cyber formula cars after so long
And the writer wasn’t far off too, he predicted around 2018 to 2022

[fleet aspen]

Do you think the FIA can police teams with factories all over the world?

I have not doubt all the teams have started building their 2026 cars 😅

F1 in 2027:

[fleet aspen]

I quite like George 😔

[empty urchin]

(Adrian newey cooked)

[fiery mica]

why do you think that?

[stiff venture]

They still have next year and this years car to worry about. A bit of a waste of resources to be honest

[stiff venture]

Because the areo regulations haven’t been finalized so why build something based on regulations that aren’t set in stone. One small change could mean you scraped your entire concept

[fiery mica]

im not really sure what you mean by aero regulations but the default car and its design has been shared with every team and most of the physical aspects have been explained

[fiery mica]

https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/fia_2026_formula_1_technical_regulations_issue_8_-_2024-06-24.pdf

Hero you go!

[stiff venture]

It’s not finalized. I didn’t say they weren’t out

This is all to say that it is too early to say the engine will be more important than areo

[fiery mica]

What exactly do you mean by finalized lol? Theyve been approved by FIA, WSMC and Drivers Union

[radiant crystal]

i couldn’t watch fp1, who won?

[fiery mica]

Ver Fp1 and Lec Fp2

[radiant crystal]

Ah nice, thank you

[stiff venture]

But Perez was super close to winning p2

[stiff bough]

aero dev cant be started until january of next year, think they mixed that up with something else.

[fiery mica]

probably, theyve definitely started working on chassis though

[stiff bough]

Yeah

[winter canopy]

Who y'all got for the podium on Sunday?

[coarse obsidian]

Who? Females? That's a bad word that will get muted for 7 days.

[sharp oxide]

Alonso🗣️🗣️🗣️

[fading hill]

NO

ALONSO WIN RACE

[coarse obsidian]

I think that those older fans are morons (older fan here). It's behind the scenes, extra content, to get newer fans to watch F1.

[fathom sequoia]

hold up, i missed both practice, did i see that red bull has quicker car than the payaya's?

[wooden zodiac]

Ferrari had the faster car

[fervent turtle]

missed fp2 anything happen

[grave cosmos]

whos the fastest car this week?

[tidal tendon]

Ferrari, probably

[fathom sequoia]

seeing FP1 and 2, its a toss up between ferarri and red bull, but we should wait until quali for a more certain car

[tidal tendon]

Red Bull won't be the fast car i think

They have some issues of car sliding all over

[fathom sequoia]

is there any new upgrades?

[tidal tendon]

idk

[timber oxide]

From Redbull? A Frankenstein of floor with the parts of the 3 previous floors that worked

[tidal tendon]

Mercedes will be the 2nd car i think

[grave cosmos]

what is a good F1 licensed mobile game?

[outer venture]

That's everyone on tik Tok said bruh

[outer venture]

Probs monopsto or smthng like thag

[kindred cedar]

monoposto is the best currently

f1 mobile got removed so thats the next one

[kindred cedar]

ferrari the goats

[fathom sequoia]

im kinda sad about that, it was really good

[kindred cedar]

same

[proven lynx]

ferrari pls right after one good race we got leclerc not wanting to drive the car

[placid falcon]

What happened??

[slender wolf]

Landon is washed smh my head he's past his prime

landon

lando

[grim fulcrum]

i swear leclerc either has an awesome lap or an awful lap

[fiery mica]

he has those awesome laps because he pushes on those awful lap

[stiff venture]

They have been struggling with the balancing and he didn't get a chance to put up a good run

[placid falcon]

Makes sense

[long edge]

I LOVE PEREZZZ

[dreamy jay]

watching sky f1 replaying fp1

[grim fulcrum]

so ur saying he only does well when he doesn’t push? 😭

[sullen wren]

Hamilton is appearing in top three many times, lovely to see

[fiery mica]

no, when he pushes on those awful laps, he figures out the limit and then does those awesome laps if the car is capable of them

2023, Jenson was asked if Charles is guilty of overdriving (and making mistake), jenson replied that he is also guilty of overperforming then

Also,the rear looks like they soldered it

[snow swan]

Sergio Perez has only failed to finish on the Podium once at Baku in the races he has finished.

3rd, Ret, 3rd, 6th, 1st, 2nd, 1st

[pearl bear]

considering checo's performances this year, he's gonna make it twice

[hollow granite]

Perez fans are delusional as the Tifosi

[sly badger]

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/norris-says-mclaren-quite-a-long-way-off-the-pace-in-baku/10653845/

[stiff venture]

Hello there

[stiff venture]

That’s twice

[snow swan]

Races he finished

I said

[rocky timber]

Why Norris complain too much?

[stiff venture]

He is entitled

[rocky timber]

No kidding such a stark difference from when Oscar talks about the car

[merry elk]

Sup ?

[stiff bough]

because he doesnt have a good balance in the car during the free practices

[stiff venture]

Hello there

[keen skiff]

So how are things looking Between McLaren and RB Pace?

[stiff venture]

Rbr looks strong. McLaren still figuring it out

[spare violet]

Someone catch me up in what I missed for both of the fp

[stiff venture]

Ferrari look like favorites… well leclerc does.

[rocky timber]

Lec lec!

[stiff venture]

Perez looks like he might fight leclerc for winning

[valid vapor]

yes, what worries me is the degradation, checo is known for taking good care of the tires, but lately max is complaining a lot about the degradation.

[vestal carbon]

All comes down to his performance in fp3

[stiff venture]

All comes down to his performance on Sunday

[stiff venture]

The Ferrari seems to have the edge on that unless this rbr upgrade and extra downforce helps

[valid vapor]

Exactly, I mean Leclerc won monza only trough the degradation, I think that the RB update helps more in the massive turning issue that they were having, because I watched max onboard after 8 turns on mediums and he was complaining about the degradation, so I think we can see checo on the podium and max, but if leclerc starts on pole that's another win for lec

[vestal carbon]

If his fp3 is messed up, he’ll never have the confidence in quali and might start at the back

[tranquil dragon]

schumacher went to mercedes to end his career and lewis will go to ferrari to end his career kinda just hit me

[coarse obsidian]

Oh really go talk to a certain Mods about using that word, bruh

[outer venture]

Uhm okay

[snow swan]

Hi baddies

[valid vapor]

Hi, today we are not baddies, today we are hoppers

we need to hear the austrian national anthem

[cosmic vapor]

omg

i think if leclerc takes pole he wins

[valid vapor]

100%

[snow swan]

Why ?

[valid vapor]

redbull is cooking

[cosmic vapor]

praying for a perez podium

lowk id be happy with like lec per sai

[stiff venture]

No not sainz

[cosmic vapor]

what why

[stiff venture]

Williams driver

[cosmic vapor]

albon??

[valid vapor]

albonoooooooooooooo

[cosmic vapor]

albon podium i will cry and rejoice

[valid vapor]

what's wrong with albono?

[cosmic vapor]

aight bro tf

[stiff venture]

No I mean sainz is a williams driver so I don't want him up there

[cosmic vapor]

bruh

[peak river]

Checo!!!

[keen skiff]

Hope McLaren maintian this rub of the green

[neat latch]

Mclaren are sandbagging

Oscar was the fastest man on race pace simulations

Mclaren today wasn't particularly interested in doing the fastest one lap times today, and when they did try getting them they got blocked by other cars/their laps got interrupted.

[drifting radish]

I hope Oscar wins

[neat latch]

And even then imo i think they're not showing their true potential yet

[brisk sierra]

I think you're just in denial

[neat latch]

Brother we've seen this before

Also a Ferrari fan saying im in denial

[brisk sierra]

Yes you are 💀

I've accepted the fact that we're washed

[neat latch]

The engines are turned down

Maybe you're right and this won't be McLaren's best weekend, I'm fine with that as long as there is a battle for the win

[sly badger]

https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C_2uKrcNVao/?igsh=MTgydzFvZ2QxaXV5eg==

[vestal carbon]

There definitely will be a battle between Ferrari, McLaren and red bulls

[hushed olive]

i like how the mercedes looks in the new onboard

[proper nexus]

Same here. Imagine Merc wins this weekend!

[little venture]

They have a chance

[main anchor]

mclaren will win easy, that's why I don't want FP

[fervent swift]

8 drivers can still win the championship yk

[main anchor]

🐺

[lilac nova]

Perez gonna win. It gonna happen.

[fervent swift]

Russell: ima win real quick

[lilac nova]

https://tenor.com/view/sergio-perez-sergio-perez-checo-checo-perez-gif-26699861

[fervent swift]

I forgot he had podiums this year

[lilac nova]

[neat latch]

I like how Mercedes look this year

They brought the old west mclaren back

But there is only one problem with the livery

The cyan stripe on the PETRONAS sidepod

[crystal mountain]

I like cheese

[neat latch]

That shit does not belong there

@hollow heath

[crystal mountain]

I don’t like lance stroll

[regal needle]

You Team knows it's Friday 13th because we're in Practice

[fervent swift]

Norris should win the championship he can

[stiff venture]

They do tend to get better throughout the weekend unlike merc which looks great on Friday only to then fight haas for points

[fervent swift]

you can do this Norris

[wanton kiln]

He won't

[fervent swift]

Leclerc's win probability is higher maybe idk

[wanton kiln]

The point deficit is too big

[wanton kiln]

No

Max is winning this year

[fervent swift]

Mathematically 8 drivers can win the championship

[stiff venture]

Imagine lando finishes 4th haha

[fervent swift]

LMAO

[snow swan]

Fun fact
In 2023 Max Verstappen had more points than any other rival team

By himself

Max had 575 points
Mercedes, 2nd in WCC had 409 points

[valid vapor]

2023 was crazy, there was 11 teams
Verstappen
Redbull

[fervent swift]

Fun fact in 2023 max verstappen drove red bull car

[quick quest]

sup verstappen glazer

[regal needle]

Guenther Steiner still had a Few Races to attend as Commentator Later by the way

Maybe we will see him in Mexico

[fervent swift]

2023 verstappen had most drivers in poimnts

[hushed olive]

max in 2023 got the same number of wins that mercedes got in 2016

[vernal pecan]

You are my sunshine

[hushed olive]

checo wins in 2023: 2
hamilton,alonso,leclerc,norris,sainz,piastri and russell combined wins in 2023: 1

[vestal carbon]

He’s messed up this year, literally struggling to show that he got it to make it to the next year, when the team really needs him

[full gulch]

Perez clutched rare w

[split bane]

He got also very very VERY lucky to not be sacked after spa

[fiery mica]

he shouldve

[fiery mica]

the first 4(?) are the serious competition

[split bane]

In order to have no more debts with the Mexican GP, which is the one who saved him, he must dominate in that GP.

[stiff bough]

Except Checo does not have a good track record in Mexico City

[snow swan]

💀💀💀

[vestal carbon]

Yeah and he needs to show performance to stay after the coming 3 week break

[earnest vessel]

Im scared Toto Wolf become Richthofen

😭

[zinc saffron]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[snow swan]

💀💀💀

My handsome principal ihas a scar

[remote knoll]

what does checo gotta do

[placid halo]

so how are the FPs looking like?

[snow swan]

Suits him

For tifosi good

[placid halo]

what team looks the strongest? (dont say mclaren pls)

[remote knoll]

Aston Martin

[placid halo]

i see redbull are cooking, with Perez in p2 in FP2

Charles crashed in Fp1? I also saw a video of him complaining about the car in fp2 - even though he went the fastest. What was the issue?

[tacit cliff]

Fr something is up

[hushed olive]

checo podium incoming

[split bane]

Problems with the steering box

[placid halo]

how bad is it? Will they repair it?

[tacit cliff]

I hope Ollie places good

[placid halo]

Hows Ferrari pace looking like?

[split bane]

They repaired it in fp2

[placid halo]

are we good on quali pace?

[split bane]

They did a few laps of both Sainz and Leclerc, then there was traffic.

[placid halo]

or is mclaren cooking another 1-2

[tacit cliff]

Depends on the drivers

[fervent swift]

Hamilton > Verstappen

[split bane]

Yeah, there's to confirm it in FP3 and see because it seems like Verstappen is sandbagging in sector 3

[snow swan]

💯

He's fast on straights then max

[fervent swift]

There shouldnt be traffic, just keep driving for the traffic signs and go according to allowed speed tbh

[placid halo]

but did redbull bring any upgrades? or mclaren? Cause Ferrari didnt bring anything, as far as i know

[fervent swift]

Ferrari brought Leclerc and Sainz

[split bane]

Red-Bull brought a new floor

[tacit cliff]

Didn't Mercedes upgrade???

[snow swan]

Merc went back to their Silverstone floors

[fervent swift]

Is newey still at red bull

[placid halo]

i just hope Fred knows what hes doing

[snow swan]

He joined Martin

[split bane]

No, he is in gardening now

[fervent swift]

https://tenor.com/view/lewis-hamilton-lewis-hamilton-ferrari-ferrari-lewis-ferrari-f1-gif-3693359430788031553

[placid halo]

oh damn, doesnt seem to be a good decision tbh

[snow swan]

😭

[placid halo]

Ferrari line up 2025 gonna be crazy

[snow swan]

He did it for money and a challenge to make Stroll a WDC ig or Alonso

[fervent swift]

Hamilton to Ferrari --> biggest sports move ever?

[snow swan]

He did say he did it for a challenge

[fiery mica]

oh the brazil gp flashbacks

[snow swan]

Let the 2025 come then I can say

[tacit cliff]

Bro still can't believe carlos is going to Williams

[fiery mica]

the car was bent also steering wheel wasnt aligning

[tacit cliff]

🥲

[placid halo]

Newey after Stroll keeps fighting williams for p14 whereas Fernando over there leading the race:🤔

[fiery mica]

similar to vettel > ferrari?

[fervent swift]

Still cant believe this is real

[fiery mica]

charles looks like a good boy in this picture lmao

[snow swan]

God it's weird seeing him in red

[placid halo]

Leclerc fans, TeamLH and Tifosi ALL IN ONE - twitter aint ready for this one

[regal needle]

Really Gonna be a Big Debut

[split bane]

This image is cool but the 2023 Ferrari suit is absolut shit

[snow swan]

True that

[tacit cliff]

Fr I got used to seeing him in black

[placid halo]

why lol

[fervent swift]

Meanwhile Mercedes: Lets give A rookie the main team seat while Carlos Sainz drives in Williams

George who drove williams for years: THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS ITS UNFAIR

[snow swan]

toto did once say Red isn't his color

[regal needle]

Lewis actually triggered an Exit Clause when he signed for Ferrari

[placid halo]

Antonelli then crashing the car

[snow swan]

Yeah

[fiery mica]

its a move that makes sense to me 🤷‍♀️ they want to prepare their driver in a top team for 2026 regs

[fervent swift]

Toto is not cooking with Sainz at williams and antonelli at mercedes, it should have been opposite

[tacit cliff]

But not during race weekend

[regal needle]

His Own Film Company, Dawn Apollo Films will be making it's Debut in Brad Pitt F1

[snow swan]

Yeah let the kid get hang on the game then take him up

[fiery mica]

?? obviously he needs race weekend experience

[regal needle]

I think Lewis like Apollo Name

[snow swan]

He's just 18 yr and some days bruh

[split bane]

It looks like the black was put on the suit randomically

[fervent swift]

George being in williams for years to wait for a merc seat while antonelli getting it immediately is straight up unfair to George even more then to Carlos

[snow swan]

Yeah 2024 is all red

[tacit cliff]

At least there no hp logo

[jade mural]

Congrats @tacit cliff, you're now on lap 5

[fiery mica]

Toto wants the 2nd Max Verstappen so it makes sense that kimi should be better than Max, if hes not then he'll simply get the boot.

[split bane]

That's true

[fervent swift]

Kimi isnt the next verstappen

[snow swan]

How's Kimi in f2 I don't watch f2 coz does he like win every race or what or get podiums?

[fiery mica]

its a sports my guy, who cares abt fair

[fervent swift]

Piastri is the next thing

[fiery mica]

How do u know

[split bane]

With white and yellow stripes, this year suits are cool, just like the car

[tacit cliff]

With training maybe

[fervent swift]

Kimi skipped F2?

[fiery mica]

Kimi is in prema which isnt a good car but his driving is good

[fervent swift]

Crashed car

[snow swan]

Ikr it's so good

[zinc saffron]

💀

[regal needle]

Oscar probably will stay with McLaren for a Bit Longer since the Team found him still doing well since the First Rookie Season

[fiery mica]

do u know how many times max verstappen crashed a car?

[fervent swift]

https://tenor.com/view/oscar-piastri-mclaren-oscar-f1-gif-6557697005435048747

[fringe vapor]

guys, i didnt watch fp, can someone fill me in what happened in fp1 and 2?

[fervent swift]

Piastri is the next Kimi

[fiery mica]

Ver fp1 Lec Fp2

[snow swan]

Piastei is one of the best now in such small time

[fringe vapor]

No crashes? no drama?

[fervent swift]

Piastri: 😎
Piastri's manager: 🗿🥶

[fringe vapor]

ooh who caused it

[fiery mica]

colapinto and lec crash in fp1,

[snow swan]

FP1 two crashes Franco and CL16

[tacit cliff]

Everyone has crashed a car

[fringe vapor]

damn, not the driver i would expect to crash in baku

[fervent swift]

How many drivers did Williams change in the past 5 years though???

20?

[regal needle]

Charles has an Issue with the Car during Practice

[snow swan]

Alonso and Hamilton drama in FP1
FP2 GR got new engine and CH16 was struggling

[regal needle]

He's being Stupid or Worst at the Time

[fervent swift]

Williams will have 4 drivers race for them in 2 years

[snow swan]

His debut had a crash

[fringe vapor]

didnt max crash on his debut

[fervent swift]

Tsunoda raced with 3 teammates in 1 season 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[tacit cliff]

And???

[snow swan]

But the team was telling him to push and thay corner was like crash zone coz like the safety car crashed there too lol

[fervent swift]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-oh-swell-ocean-waves-gif-13193756

[stray token]

Hello?

[snow swan]

I still remember GRs expression on that crash

[split bane]

Yeah there was low grip on parabolica turn

[fiery mica]

I feel like alot of yall wouldve been complaining about max joining at 16 as well

[fringe vapor]

Mate we all have no grip

[placid halo]

bro was genuinely upset

[fiery mica]

"He should go to F2!!!!"

[snow swan]

THATS MY CAR LOL

[placid halo]

imagine if Perez goes p1 for n quali

[tacit cliff]

☠️☠️☠️

[placid halo]

that brother will be on his comeback arc

[snow swan]

King of streets for a reason ig

[remote knoll]

low grip + antonelli's rear tires being cooked

[placid halo]

i just hope for Leclerc to cook again and take pole like he did before

[fringe vapor]

perez bashing it into pole would be so crazy

[split bane]

I want Sharl to keep his record of consecutive poles in Baku

[fiery mica]

NEED

[placid halo]

and stay ahead for the most part of the race and WIN IT

[snow swan]

Charles

Right?

[fiery mica]

Grand Slam????? (its a street circuit so thats a bit hard but i can be delusional)

[placid halo]

just fck em up mclaren

[split bane]

Yeah it is a distorted version of his name

[fiery mica]

Sharl Leclair

[split bane]

Yes

[snow swan]

I thought that's how they just pounced it

[placid halo]

not that distorted since it basically shows the way it is pronounced

[snow swan]

Yes and I want Perez to retain his title of king of Baku considering that besides Norris Leclerc is the only other driver who can’t win from pole

I need help yall, I’m trying to watch F1 tv on apple tv but it’s making a black screen with audio

[snow swan]

That's how they pronounce it

[placid halo]

you’re right, he doesnt really need a pole position to win

[split bane]

Well Perez can win and Charles can arrive 2nd to gain points on Norris and Max

[snow swan]

Def true this year

[fiery mica]

I need charles to win 🙏

[stiff venture]

I will say checo winning baku on mexican independence day would be special

[fiery mica]

I need a back to back like spa and monza

[placid halo]

Monza was a great performance - tyre managing, strategy

[snow swan]

I need help yall, I’m trying to watch F1 tv on apple tv but it’s making a black screen with audio

[tacit cliff]

I hope norris surpass max in points

[split bane]

I hope not

[placid halo]

goodness gracious i want Max to take that 2024 WDC title

[fiery mica]

Reach out to apple tv

[snow swan]

I did. And got no response

[fiery mica]

I want charles to win :((

[placid halo]

Piastri is gonna be a world champion before Lando, mark my words

[snow swan]

Many races the pole sitters didn't win

[fiery mica]

I dont think lando will ever be a world champion, he'll be like ricciardo

[placid halo]

gonna be real fcking hard with that mclaren rocketship

[snow swan]

Like GR didn't

[snow swan]

Honestly a 3 way title battle would be much more interesting

[tacit cliff]

If the team actually tries to make it happen

[split bane]

Strong words, but neither will be.

[fiery mica]

ferrari please be serious 😭

[fiery mica]

strong words abt piastri

[placid halo]

fr like Lando only won once from pole position - cause he had a mf F-35 engine strapped onto his car💀

[stable yarrow]

is danny ric quitting?

[placid halo]

Piastri is that guy bro, look at him

[snow swan]

PLEASE NO

[tacit cliff]

Like if Lando wants to win he needs P2 or P3

[placid halo]

Oscar didnt give a flying fuck about Landos WDC until Zak said “umm oscah could you please give wins to lando he may become world champion”

[snow swan]

He needs 7 points more than max every rwcr

[placid halo]

like bro genuinely locked in in the first lap of Monza gp

[placid halo]

Max aint letting that happen

[split bane]

Yeah... i am also delulu so in 2025 Leclerc will be champion and then from 2026 onwards Mclaren won't be winning anymore for a while

[tacit cliff]

What I am saying is when he gets P1 he loses position on turn 1

[placid halo]

its gonna be AM dominating

[placid halo]

not necessarily turn 1, more like lap 1

[snow swan]

No Piastri is definitely wdc material he is in his 2nd year and is already on par with max In his second year

[fiery mica]

par with max??? strong words

[snow swan]

Look at maxs 2016 stats and Oscar’s 2024 stats

[split bane]

Yeah maybe he has a chance for 2025, but maybe.. depends very much on how he starts the year

[fiery mica]

oh max's second year LMAO

[snow swan]

Nah I feel like 2025 is gonna be rbr cuz they realised that they are gonna sell

[fiery mica]

also not comparable, max was barely in a win competing car and oscar is in a championship competing car

[tacit cliff]

True

[fiery mica]

The first time max got a championship competing car, he won it.

[split bane]

nah the Red-Bull will think about 2026 since they are sacrificing 2025 already now

[winter forge]

looks like it’ll be mercedes… their engine is supposedly the best

[fiery mica]

they have no chance at the wcc*

[snow swan]

Hmmm 2025 will be Interesting

[split bane]

Actually, not much is known... but the best engine could be Ferrari.

[fiery mica]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASELEPLASE

[split bane]

Yeah this year is gone for Red-Bull wcc

[winter forge]

nah, everyone is saying mercedes are ahead

[fringe vapor]

merc has a reputation for nailing engine regs

straight away

[supple carbon]

yep

[split bane]

🤷‍♂️

[fiery mica]

thats because they have insider info lol - 2013-2014

[fringe vapor]

lmao alright

[supple carbon]

what makes u say that?

[fringe vapor]

ay mate it was just a joke

[supple carbon]

fair enough

[fringe vapor]

thats like bantering a ferrari fan for cheating in 2019

[supple carbon]

lol i get u

[split bane]

Let's say that Mercedes no longer has all the best engineers as it used to.

[supple carbon]

they all gone to ferrari

[split bane]

Also to AM

[supple carbon]

thats true

[fringe vapor]

not gonna lie the 2022 PU isnt as bad as it was but the whole aero department got the whole "no sidepod" thing completely wrong

[fiery mica]

its a joke because they started working on their engines like 2 years before everyone else in 2011 (not a crime but they basically gave up 2012/12)

[supple carbon]

yeah

[vestal carbon]

Maybe put it this way, they probably went the wrong way for once in their design and now they are trying to bounce back

[snow swan]

Checo p2? P3?

He’s consistently finished top 3 in both Friday sessions

[winter forge]

but everyone thinks they’re ahead

[jade mural]

Congrats @winter forge, you're now on lap 10

[fiery mica]

No sidepods is one of the most insane innovations I’ve ever seen in my time watching F1. It is truly groundbreaking and aero benefits will be huge, don’t need a wind tunnel to see that. With development on PU limited it’ll be hard to replicate - advantage locked in for years?

[supple carbon]

checo is the best in baku

[vestal carbon]

Maybe it can be back if checo shows his magic

[split bane]

But the no sidepod thing has nothing to do with the engine, that's areodynamics

[vestal carbon]

Agreed

[supple carbon]

hes just like charles in baku 😉

[split bane]

Let's see in 2026

[fringe vapor]

i know, but the engine looked worse than it was because of the bad aero

[fiery mica]

aerodynamics are also very important for 22 regs, compared to 26 regs

[supple carbon]

100% true

[vestal carbon]

The no side pod thing is definitely for aerodynamics but it does reduces speed

[winter forge]

the engine now is probably the best lol, 3/4 teams are rapid in a straight line

[vestal carbon]

I mean look at customers for merc engines, McLaren use it and they are quicker

[fringe vapor]

no sidepod is a miss

no wonder merc abandoned the concept before mid season

[fiery mica]

Mclarens not having inhouse engines is so funny to me, yall are an actual car company!!!

[fringe vapor]

ferrari and merc engines are close together

[supple carbon]

now or in 26 ?

[fringe vapor]

ferrari was really quick on the straight at monza

[fringe vapor]

mate no one is going to be able to predict 26

[supple carbon]

but people saying merc engine is gonna be the best

[winter forge]

it probably will be but theres still a year and a half of development to go

[supple carbon]

thats true

[fringe vapor]

that is because they have a reputation for nailing the engine regs all the time

[vestal carbon]

2026 will be totally different, everything changes and probability could be that Ferrari comes out in front, or maybe Aston

[supple carbon]

oh i see

[fringe vapor]

only time will tell

[supple carbon]

lets hope for a close season

[fringe vapor]

agreed

[vestal carbon]

One more season after this and we’ll get the answer in a year and a half

[winter forge]

aston martin are an uncertainty, doubt they’ll be fastest for 2026

[vestal carbon]

It literally could be anyone I believe

[supple carbon]

why u think that ? with newey being TD i donno

[fringe vapor]

lets see, they have invested a lot of money into it plus they now have Newey and the Honda engine

[vestal carbon]

Yeah newey could be the magic thing for Aston, but collective development will be great instead of putting everything on newey

[fringe vapor]

aston is now a works team which is like

[winter forge]

newey isn’t going to make enough difference in engine focused regulations to make them quickest with a year’s work

aston also will have two… questionable drivers if alonso can’t return to form

[fringe vapor]

being a works team is lowkey a cheat code because you save yourself a lot of money while also having an advantage in development

[supple carbon]

i read stroll will go to WRC and they will get a replacement

[winter forge]

yeah unless its max idk tho

[fringe vapor]

i back nando, i know he has a thing for shit boxes but whenever he has been given a competent car he always performs

[supple carbon]

his track record isnt that good. he hasnt overpassed anyone on lap 1 but lost 26 places on lap 1

[fringe vapor]

well yeah because the aston right now is the 7th or 8th fastest car

look at his mclaren days from 2015 to 2019

compare that to 2023 where he actually had a good car

[supple carbon]

i meant this season only

[fringe vapor]

well yeah, the aston has been a top midfield car at best and a borderline backmarker at worst this year

AM at 2023 beginning;

[cold solar]

real

and redbull actually looks competitive for the first time since after summer break

[snow swan]

Man colapinto crashing in FP1...unlucky.

Didn't he have an incident over Monza weekend too?

[hushed olive]

Colapinto sargeant memes are going to be crazy

[remote knoll]

not unlucky

when it was literally his fault

[remote knoll]

No

[wary forge]

Anyone else think the stepnose ferrari is actually sexy?

Looks like a shark dude

[wooden kettle]

i gotta know where this is from

[winged dagger]

yeah Baku’s a pretty hard track

imagine Colapinto racing in like fucking Monaco

[wary forge]

People hate on this car I think it looks mean

[remote knoll]

i agree

[wary forge]

Makes me miss when f1 was leaner

[snow swan]

It was his first appearance at Baku iirc.

[wary forge]

Thing looks like a rocket

Honestly if you see f1 cars now without the halo they still look good

[remote knoll]

ofc

[neat latch]

I hate TeamLH

[snow swan]

Dude, he would clutch it. He would just channel the energy of Argentinian Juan Fangio...debuted in F1 for Alfa Romeo as Argentina's first F1 driver and won Monaco that year I believe...

Here Franco, take 5 championships of experience endowed upon you my boy

[stiff bough]

most of their problems came from the floor and suspension

[stiff bough]

he has

[ivory hearth]

[wanton kiln]

the nose makes it look like a lawn mower

[stiff venture]

Why is the nose to tall?

[remote knoll]

regs

[hushed olive]

Overhated car

[calm tapir]

🚜 looking ahhhh car

[full gulch]

if f1 was an ugly car competition

what year is that

[barren charm]

Alonso fans each time make the car look worse and worse

Tomorrow they're gonna say it was worser than the HRT.

[unkempt wasp]

2012,

The F2012

[calm widget]

I actually liked the 2012 HRT livery

[ember kayak]

whats wrong with it

i like it also

very simple white red and gold

[unkempt wasp]

Considering that helmet tear-offs can grenade engines, this shit...

Should I be so miffed over this?

Morning Team! Qualifying Day in Baku

Wonder who will take Pole

[rocky timber]

5more hrs

[wet sequoia]

Qualifying is in 8 hours

Also did someone trip slowmode or was it left on from last night?

[unkempt wasp]

I am expecting a Red Bull lock out on the front row, unless McLaren are running their engines in a lower mode during Practise sessions

Aren't McLaren due to run a rookie in FP1 soon?

[wet sequoia]

Mexico for 1 session

Unsure about the 2nd one, probably Brazil or COTA

[unkempt wasp]

Is there a list somewhere for this?

[wet sequoia]

A list of everyone who has run FP1?

[unkempt wasp]

Who will

Mclaren might give Pato or Siegel a run I reckon

[mortal prairie]

isnt O'Ward running for McLaren at Mexico?

[wet sequoia]

Not really, teams announce when they plan to run a rookie, alot of the time Abu Dhabi tends to run a lot of rookies

[unkempt wasp]

Get that Mexican fan money

[mortal prairie]

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/indycar-star-and-mclaren-reserve-oward-to-drive-in-fp1-at-mexico-city-grand.66lCkXDJA7VTcddbXUxBY3

[wet sequoia]

Yes O’Ward is running Mexico

It’s why I think he’ll run another Americas FP1

[unkempt wasp]

Stupid bot

[wet sequoia]

Either COTA or Brazil since both aren’t street circuits

[snow swan]

Red Bull cooked yesterday 🗣️🔥

[winged dagger]

Top 10 final predicition

LEC PER VER NOR PIA SAI HAM RUS ALO ALB

Seemed like Perez prepared for Baku for the whole szn tbh

[snow swan]

Max is probably gonna be on the podium too

[winged dagger]

I have Max at P3

[snow swan]

And if they are behind one another (Checo and Max) and Norris is ahead of Piastri they will tell Checo to swap

For the championship

[winged dagger]

I think Max will 100% win the championship if he finishes above Lando in Baku

[snow swan]

Me too

Max>>>>Lando

[winged dagger]

People overrate Lando. He’s in the fastest car yet fails to be on pole for every race

He’s a good driver, but not even top 5 imo

[snow swan]

I think last year he performed better than now

[unkempt wasp]

I am hearing more of this than singing his praises.

[snow swan]

Lando crumbles under pressure

[unkempt wasp]

It is a lot for someone to have a WDC shot and to continually eff it up

[snow swan]

Yep

[winged dagger]

Yeah Lando just isn’t WDC worthy

Oscar in his 2nd season is already Lando’s level and even outperforming him in quite a few races

[snow swan]

He would get defeated by Piastri in 2025 is my prediction

[ebon crater]

@ebon crater

[snow swan]

Lando now is just as mature as Max in 2016 or 2017

[winged dagger]

Definitely

[winged dagger]

That talk with Lewis in Hungary pissed me off

childish af

“Now it’s us” yeah bro Lewis in his rookie season won twice the amount of GPs you win in your whole career. Pipe down.

[twilit merlin]

Real, he had no reason to be cocky about Hamilton saying the McLaren was fast

[wet sequoia]

Norris just had a temper tantrum that day

[hardy cobalt]

KI KI KI

[regal needle]

I think in Practice 3, We might see more Late Braking and Locks-Up

Baku always where every Car Lose their Control

[wet sequoia]

I’m curious how the Red Bulls and McLaren end up tonight

It’s be funny if there is a Red Bull sandwich of Perez P1 McLaren P2-3 and Verstappen P4

[regal needle]

McLaren might Fire Up something Later for the Plan to Win

[narrow garnet]

McLaren master🅱️lan™️

[snow swan]

NOR PIA VER

"Oscar, Lando is faster than you. Do you copy?"

[snow swan]

Same

[dense parrot]

"Oscar, please abort the fastest lap attempt before the end of the lap"

It's funny how Valtteri slowed down that time and still got fastest lap

[untold pier]

muscle memory

[regal needle]

Yuki Tsunoda when Locks-Up: I am, Shut Up!!

He's kinda Overreact when lose control of the Car

[snow swan]

Remember 2022?

The bouncing omg

[snow swan]

There was no engine change for 2022

Only aero

And chasis i think

[hushed plover]

1 more hour I can do this

[snow swan]

A complete new dynamics and Merc was ||fucked|| up back

[vapid barn]

Leclerc has been such a good driver all weekend

Easily the best out there

[regal needle]

Gonna get ready soon for FP3

Joining you Team Later when it started

checo's performance in fp is about to absolutely change in quali

just like in any other major race rlly

[timber oxide]

I'm ready for Charles, Carlos and Checo in the podium, no matter the order

Triple C this weekend

[snow swan]

tu tu tu max verstappen is 74976402847839 times better

[fleet aspen]

At least Checo managed to keep his car on track yesterday unlike a certain red car

[raven spear]

LIAM ON THE SHOW WOOO
