[stiff bough]

no he was their trackside director

and he was exceptional

[hushed olive]

Biggest robbery in f1 history ?

[late remnant]

as much as I'm a lawson fan due to kiwi bias I wish he was able to complete this season as his farewell
will be sad to see him go from f1 entirely, because sauber will not be signing him and we know it

THIS MEANS- LECLERC WDC

[snow swan]

He was at Ferrari when they were boiled cabbage

[stiff bough]

Mekies used to be at Toro Rosso, then left to work at the FIA as safety director, then became deputy race director in 2017 and in 2018 joined Ferrari as sporting director

and then got promoted to deputy team principal in 2021 at ferrari before leaving for vcarb

[snow swan]

And back to VCARB i guess

[hushed olive]

When Ferrari last won a championship:
Red bull had 0 wins
Max verstappen and charles leclerc were 10 years old
Lewis Hamilton only had 4 wins in f1
Kimi antonelli was 1 year old
Fernando Alonso was aged 26
Ollie bearman was 2 years old
V8 engines were still around
Mercedes wasnt on f1
Honda and Toyota were still on grid

[hushed wadi]

ferrari last won a title in 2008 not 2007

[stiff bough]

mercedes was in f1

Not just as an engine supplier, they were still the factory team for mclaren

[snow swan]

😭🙏🏻

[calm widget]

Was redbull even in the sport in 2004?

Oh wait

Im stoopid, 2007 exists

[calm widget]

Ig he means WDC not WCC

[snow swan]

both

[tepid latch]

Here’s to hoping

They all follow the same rules. That is like saying HAAS is a Ferrari puppet team

[vague trellis]

I don’t see haas helping Ferrari tho

Nor do I see Williams help Mercedes

But it’s fine, we’ll hope Lando gets WC

[quaint kite]

Are you referring Ricciardo taking the fastest lap off of Lando at the end?

I don't see any issue with it personally

Haas also tried to take it but Kmag exceeded track limits on his lap

[simple anchor]

They were a big supporter of Sauber in the late nineties kinda like kick now but they didn’t have their own team

Here’s the Sauber C14 In Monaco 1995

Oop- embed failure

[cosmic vapor]

nah

[summer briar]

pretty sure the problem is verstappen has 3 drivers supporting him for the WDC, lando just has Piastri

RBR shouldn't be allowed to have a 2nd team that can aid them

[quaint kite]

🤷

It's legal

[summer briar]

Doesn't mean it's right

[quaint kite]

A lot isn't right with the way the sport is

[summer briar]

Same thing as McLaren's mini DRS

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right

Red Bull shouldn't have been allowed to own 2 F1 teams in the first place imo

Just use F2 for aspiring talent like other teams

[quaint kite]

I mean Ferrari has/had implicit control of seats at Sauber and Haas for years

[summer briar]

Partnerships between teams just aren't the same thing imo, Haas chose Bearman because they saw his talent not just because Ferrari wanted to hand him to them

vcarb is essentially a puppet team

[fervent turtle]

how did Alex even dnf

[stiff bough]

car issues

[fervent turtle]

oh

slept like a baby thru baku and singapore 😭😭

[stiff bough]

they were allowed to because they saved hundreds of jobs and people's livelihoods

[fervent turtle]

i need to stop going to sleep while races are on

[stiff bough]

I don't personally see the problem as teams aren't allowed to have cross-communication with one another and they do not share car info with one another either.

the only person ive seen having a problem with it zak brown, which go figure, he bitches about everything thats not in his favor. I haven't seen any other teams complaining though

[fervent turtle]

how did kmag dnf

[grave parcel]

brake temp issue I think ?

[fervent turtle]

ohh Ty

[vernal holly]

https://fxtwitter.com/f1/status/1837970879860592677

[unkempt stirrup]

Best race last year, almost worst this year 😭

[remote knoll]

Las Vegas was the best race last year

[cosmic vapor]

i guarantee he would have been 10x more mad if say ferrari or redbull used the flexi rear wing but whatever

[wheat kettle]

yeah las vegas was extremely entertaining

[cosmic vapor]

fr bruh

[wheat kettle]

only race so far that i’ve been completely locked into since watching f1 in april of 2023

[cosmic vapor]

i was hoping that leclerc would win. he didn’t. it felt like another leclerc fumble to me so i don’t remember it well

[worn cedar]

mf yeah someone needs to restructure vcarb

it’s a shithole rn

[cosmic vapor]

the only race that has been great for me to watch in a long long time was monza 2024 if i’m being honest

[remote knoll]

I wouldn't say he fumbled

gotta remember he was racing Max in the RB19

[worn cedar]

Honestly, wec is just better

much better racing and cheaper prices

[cosmic vapor]

any time leclerc loses a win i count a fumble

[worn cedar]

wec has MUCH more interesting racing

trust me

[cosmic vapor]

someone like alonso would have won in the ferrari

[worn cedar]

I watched Fuji then I come back and watch Singapore and I want to fall asleep

[cosmic vapor]

singapore was a massive snoozer

[remote knoll]

Fuji was

[stiff venture]

No

[remote knoll]

frustrating

[worn cedar]

f1 or wec

[cosmic vapor]

i js kinda got excited watching the gap between leclerc and russel unfortunately he didn’t get the pass

[worn cedar]

Isn’t f1 Suzuka mb

[remote knoll]

buddy f1 hasnt been in fuji for 17 years

[worn cedar]

mb

[remote knoll]

yea 💀

[cosmic vapor]

prime alonso

[stiff venture]

Max is goat

[cosmic vapor]

mate i don’t think you know prime alonso

[remote knoll]

prime alonso vs prime max

[worn cedar]

prime Alonso wasn’t as good as prime max if I’m being truly honest

Alonso made some really shit career choices

[stiff venture]

Goat means it doesn’t matter since he is the greatest of “all time”

[cosmic vapor]

prime alonso almost dragged a tractor to a wdc

[raven wagon]

The 2012 ferrari was at worst the 4th best car

[cosmic vapor]

4th best fighting for a wdc is arguably a tractor

[raven wagon]

And that was like at the start of the season

Gradually it improved and became roughly the 3rd 2nd best

[crimson perch]

Is lando still able to win the dc

[cosmic vapor]

yeah

real chance he does

god i would actually be so mad if lando wins the wdc by just being given the fastest most dominant car of the season before leclerc

just his luck

[flint perch]

Danny Ric leaving F1 rumors after lando makes a 22 second gap

[cosmic vapor]

uh no it’s not confirmed but it’s seemingly more and more true

[flint perch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/940601140633043017/1286467729582329887/CyLouie___-_1836196922056659218.gif

[crimson perch]

He's also just good at driving

[cosmic vapor]

wym

[stiff venture]

Didn’t prime Alonso get slapped around by vettel? Only for vettel to get slapped around my riccardo who was then slapped around by max, lando and yuki?

[crimson perch]

He fended off the rb19 at Silverstone

[rocky blade]

There are layers of context to that

I can explain if you want

[cosmic vapor]

it doesn’t work like that really

kanzai can explain

[stiff venture]

I’m just saying…. If you look at the evidence….

[remote knoll]

So you just called Alonso worse than Yuki 🥶

[rocky blade]

By evidence you mean race results?

[cosmic vapor]

this is brainrot

[rocky blade]

because just looking at those will never tell you the full context really

[neat latch]

Imagine if he stayed at mclaren

[stiff venture]

As much as I don’t like the fossil I let him slide on yuki since riccardo was damaged goods by then

[rocky blade]

I can say Ronnie Peterson was just another driver back in the 70s, when in reality he could've been a 2 time champion (argubly three if you push it)

[minor juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/driver-fernando-alonso-alonso-f1-formel1-gif-10123084

[cosmic vapor]

that’s literally a terrible idea

alonso would have rotted

[queen orbit]

prime max was basically unbeatable lets face it

[neat latch]

Bro would be dominating more than Lando rn

[rocky blade]

No that'd be worse

[cosmic vapor]

that would be terrible

absolutely terrible

[neat latch]

For you guys

[rocky blade]

He'd have better cars by 2019 but Alonso back then just wanted more than simple points

[cosmic vapor]

no for alonso it would have been terrible

[neat latch]

I would be ascending

[remote knoll]

I can't see Ricciardo dominating if he had the 2024 MCL

[cosmic vapor]

i genuinely think if he stayed another year at mclaren he was gonna drop 20 years off his lifespan

[rocky blade]

He was already wanting to throw himself off a plane by 2018

and that car was way better than McLaren ever was at that point

[neat latch]

The 2019 mclaren was a bit better than the year before

[rocky blade]

Yeah, but ask Alonso to bring a crystal ball or some shit

[cosmic vapor]

i know that

[rocky blade]

because like hell if he knew that

[neat latch]

I need a time machine

[cosmic vapor]

alonso was sick and tired of it

i think if he stayed he would have permanently retired by 22

[rocky blade]

He had contracts with Red Bull back in 2007 or 2008

but how was he supposed to know that team that barely existed would have become good?

[raven wagon]

Alonso was expecting Mclaren to give him another 2007 worthy car to compete for the wdc, not for them to give him cars that are stuck in the midfield

[neat latch]

Tell Alonso: don't leave mclaren, the 2024 car is going to be the best

[stiff venture]

Is this end of season rookie sprint race real?

[cosmic vapor]

he ain’t waiting allat

[neat latch]

He's waiting for newey

[rocky blade]

Yeah it sounds easy but

Waiting 6 years for one year were the car is good

And he wouldn't even believe you because by 2022 that car was not good at all

[neat latch]

The 2021 mclaren was really good though

[rocky blade]

Yeah, for podiums

keep in mind, that's not what Alonso wants anymore

He clearly wants to win another race one last time and that's it

[raven wagon]

Alonso dosent have the patience to wait that long

[rocky blade]

WDC is optional but in reality dude doesn't have the level for that anymore

[raven wagon]

Dude endured 3 years of gp2 Honda engines

2018 was better but still pretty mediocre by Alonsos standards

[neat latch]

Fuck it, I'm bringing him with me with the time machine and i will convince zak brown to replace lando with him

[rocky blade]

And even 2016 wasn't a bad car

[rocky blade]

Yeah, he was clearly done with F1

He needed a break asap

[raven wagon]

Alonso knows what Mclaren are capable of, considering he raced with them in 2007, he wasnt there to be backmarkers or midfield

[neat latch]

What about, max Verstappen in mclaren

[rocky blade]

I mean I don't agree there

[neat latch]

It's not impossible, if Red Bull get worse and if lando doesn't deliver what's expected of him

[rocky blade]

McLaren in that era was everything but good

They weren't capable of a 2009 season anymore

[raven wagon]

Max to Mercedes is more likely than him going to Mclaren

Mclaren aint gonna let Lando or Piastri go

[rocky blade]

That entire team was viewed as a joke, people only started liking McLaren in 2019

[raven wagon]

I mean yeah

[stiff venture]

While I don't think.mclaren will want to I can see lando going to red bull if max goes to amr. It would be wild if we get lando and Russell at rbr in 2026

[raven wagon]

But Alonso was expecting Mclaren when he rejoined in 2015 to at least give a wdc contending car, they failed to do that

[rocky blade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMd_85jqMts&ab_channel=MrR26D

Look at the comment sections dude

Nobody could be bothered to like McLaren at that time

[rocky blade]

Yo your My Team career is wild

[rocky blade]

Because McLaren + Honda

So the old era bait worked

What a disaster

[stiff venture]

It is but... ot does sound interesting

[raven wagon]

If im not wrong Mclaren gave Honda some size zero concept

[rocky blade]

Idk how they didn't saw it coming that an engine manufacturer that hasn't worked in F1 engines in decades would just suddenly do good or whatever

[stiff venture]

Like audi?

[rocky blade]

Ye

They were trying to convience themselfs that it wasn't a bad idea

they did a Mercedes 2022 before they made it cool

[rocky blade]

Audi has never been in F1 before

like, not involved at all

[stiff venture]

Right and last year everyone was super high on them like they were going to be competing for championships

[rocky blade]

There'd always be those kind of people

hyping shit for no reason

Well, their reason is since they are in WEC they have some knowlege obviously but that's still a dumb way to hype them

[thin berry]

It’s better than people tearing shit down for no reason although I do not want more teams

[queen orbit]

what year

[remote knoll]

2018

[rocky blade]

Yeah

It was during pre season testing

[whole lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/daniel-ricciardo-laughing-red-bull-funny-gif-17027265247346405145

[queen orbit]

that looks like early 2010s 💀

well, except the livery

[distant sorrel]

we've got norris super lando norris

just dont think you understand]

he drives in black and orange

hes fucking dynamite

we've got super lando norris

[tulip pagoda]

29 second gap was insane

[cosmic cove]

Lando and Max swapped roles for this year

[tulip pagoda]

Genuinely

[nimble canopy]

Margins after Japan last year really closed up for max

COTA especially Ham got to within 1.5 seconds on final lap

COTA is where we first saw max have issues with the car especially the braking

[stiff bough]

The next race after COTA Max won by 13 seconds, 8 seconds, 7* seconds (2 seconds on the road but lost 5 seconds to a penalty earlier on), and then 18 seconds in Abu Dhabi

[cosmic cove]

What is COTA 😭

[compact cove]

Lando dominating that race is making me wonder when and if i will ever see leclerc dominating a race like that 🫠

[gentle atlas]

you know as long as F1 stays till the day i get to 120 years old I will feel amazing on sundays

this race wasn't terrible actually pretty good in fact SPLENDID

[copper steeple]

Can’t watch it on sundays no more since I got a part time job 💔

[gentle atlas]

it was actually kinda boring but mclarens got that spaceship

[copper steeple]

Got the job right before verstappen started losing

[gentle atlas]

I would be heartbroken 😭

[copper steeple]

yeah like I haven’t been able to watch since monaco

I’m missing so much

[gentle atlas]

aw you watching it on tv?

[copper steeple]

Yes

Used to

[gentle atlas]

now f1tv?

[copper steeple]

the thing is I can’t watch it at work lol

[copper steeple]

No I use illegal services 🏴‍☠️

[gentle atlas]

I guess so but if you have f1tv you can watch it afterwards

bahaha fair enough

[stiff bough]

criminal

[copper steeple]

😭

[gentle atlas]

anyway I'm gone like Alex albon 😢 I need my sleep

have a good one y'all F1 makes you dream of strapping a ramjet engine on your Miata

that's getting trademarked by me lol I like that one

[stiff venture]

He was finally cut?

[gentle atlas]

no I was talking about in the race

[nimble canopy]

Circuit of the Americas the name of the track in Austin

[stiff venture]

Damn.... you got me excited

[cosmic cove]

Oh right

[gentle atlas]

😭

also it had a good ring to it

[stiff bough]

no cuz i dont own a miata

[gentle atlas]

gone like albon

good night yall

[stiff bough]

the worst part is not even that ricciardo lost his drive

but the fact that VCARB's own team principal has no fucking clue whats going on

[wet sequoia]

Hey Gucci, why is slowmode still on?

[stiff bough]

good question

never noticed it since i am above it

[raven wagon]

So basically Jolyon Palmer in 2017

[stiff bough]

like wdym this may be his last race, mekies??? 😭

[raven wagon]

Dude found out he was getting replaced via the media or something

Bur at least he had a few races still with Renault after it was announced Sainz was replacing him

[stiff bough]

no kidding

[wet sequoia]

Because Mekies is not the TP of that team clearly, has got a Horner sized hand up him pulling the strings

[stiff bough]

team principal with none of the responsibility

[wet sequoia]

I feel the same as Stella

The fact Red Bull own 2 teams in F1 is worrying

[stiff bough]

personally, as long as the rules are being followed I don't care

[wet sequoia]

They can use RB to effect the standings how they wish

It’s really not fair on the competition

[stiff bough]

not really I don't think

I mean, you can't hold up the car lapping you otherwise you get a penalty, and you can't have cross communication between teams

[raven wagon]

Haas has quite a close partnership with Ferrari also

As far as I know they are fine with that

Maybe it irked a few teams at first

[stiff bough]

i feel like its just mclaren trying to cause a stir more than anything, if they had a problem with it they'd just report it to the FIA and FOM to be looked at and then wait and see what happens

I don't think any other team has complained about it, have they?

[raven wagon]

Vcarb and Redbull been in f1 since like 2005? So nearly 20 years

[wet sequoia]

A few have at the start of the year

[stiff bough]

I know McLaren have been vocal about it for the last couple years

[wet sequoia]

When it was announced the junior team would be alot closer to Milton Keynes

[stiff bough]

Idk why complain now when you had two decades to do it

[raven wagon]

There wasnt any massive protest from a lot of the teams as to why Redbull own 2 teams if Im not wrong

[stiff bough]

Yeah, they share part of their factory with VCARB and the team uses different entrances and exits to RBR

[wet sequoia]

Issues were raised this year when a lot of parts and tech would have coming down from Red Bull

[stiff bough]

Same arrangement as Haas and Ferrari

[wet sequoia]

Yes but Haas aren’t owned by Ferrari directly

[raven wagon]

Now yes some teams were irked by the Haas Ferrari partnership, but it wasnt any major protest

[stiff bough]

But as long as rules are being followed, I don't think the common ownership is a problem

[wet sequoia]

The issue now is two teams under one roof both physically and management wise

[raven wagon]

Yes and does it break any rules?

[stiff bough]

if parts get passed down and someone on the grid complains, and the FIA have to investigate, VCARB will still have to prove the part they have on their car is their own design and they have to give receipts

[snow swan]

NOONE TAKES ME SERIOUSLY, I TOLD Y'ALL THAT MCLAREN WILL WIN THIS!!

[wet sequoia]

Directly no, but considering the history have that Red Bull have with breaking rules…

And how seedy the last lap was

Red Bull should really be forced to sell that other team sometime soon

[raven wagon]

Haas literally also let K Mag go for the fastest lap also, was it seedy too?

[snow swan]

I predicted it here

[wet sequoia]

Haas aren’t owned by Ferrari, they’re also NOT in a championship battle

[raven wagon]

By that logic I can say that Haas purposely sent K Mag for fastest lap attempt to steal a point off Lando to help Ferrari in the constructors

[stiff bough]

So what happens if Red Bull sell the team, but the person they sell the team to has a contract with red bull that gives them x amount of control over so and so. Or if the attempt in making them sell the team makes Red Bull play the political game and threaten to leave

[wet sequoia]

Only organisation looking to buy in is GM with Andretti

[stiff bough]

Could always sell the team to Laurent Mekies for $1

and join on as a title sponsor

[wet sequoia]

No other sport allows one parent company to own multiple teams in a single grade 1 sport

[raven wagon]

But like I said, the other 7 teams besides Mclaren are not massively irked by Redbull and their sister team Vcarb

[stiff bough]

no other motorsport has had one company buy two teams I don't think

[raven wagon]

They been in the sport for nearly 2 decades now

[wet sequoia]

All the teams were vocal about it at the start of the year with the RB changes moving to Milton Keynes, Zac has just been the most vocal

[stiff bough]

Shit, Penske owns IndyCar and they have their own team with Aj Foyt as a strategic partner

[raven wagon]

If all the other teams were massively unhappy about it, there would had been multiple protests over the years but there wasnt

[wet sequoia]

Before they were clearly seperate

Now they’re way to close to the point they can easily swap tech

All the vocals issues were raised at the start of this year

WITH THE CHANGES MOVING TO MILTON KEYNES!!!

Not over the past 2 decades

[stiff bough]

The team is still largely based in Faenza, it's the same arrangement as Haas and Ferrari where they have a hub in the same factory. The only problem I'm seeing here is a common owner, but there is also nothing stopping Ferrari from transferring tech or part data to Haas to boost them

[raven wagon]

And are they breaking any rules doing that?

[wet sequoia]

Sigh

[raven wagon]

Exactly

[wet sequoia]

Having this argument with you is a waste of time

Being a RB fan

[raven wagon]

If they arent breaking any rules, I dont see the issue

[wet sequoia]

back to work

[raven wagon]

You are just making assumptions, like pointing out how allegedly "seedy" the Danny Ric fastest lap attempt was

Its plain assumptions, hell I would even say its a conspiracy theory

So what if Im a Redbull fan?

By that logic, I can say that you, as a Mclaren fan would obviously be unhappy that Danny Ric stole the fastest lap point off Lando

[chrome shell]

hiya guys

[raven wagon]

I would rather take Mekies words over your alleged "seedy" fastest lap attempt claim

[winged dagger]

colapinto is pretty good

[ripe bramble]

yep

[winged dagger]

3 first races and he’s already on par with albon

crazy

work

[ripe bramble]

he defended against perez and sainz

[winged dagger]

perez called him good

also what a divebomb in the opening lap

would be a pity if he doesnt get a seat

bc he shows that he isn’t significantly weaker than albon

[coarse rapids]

Guys is Danny really retiring?

[pure aurora]

most likely

its sad but.... it is what it is

[sour vault]

Some people just dont realize that many teams have relationships like that lol. Look at the racing point in 2020 or how you pointed out the haas ferrari relationship

How to become an F1 driver

I have been doing Go-karting for almost 2 years now and I am pretty good at it

[storm violet]

what are your thoughts of DRs Fastest lap and DoTD

[snow swan]

I am 16

[storm violet]

fire

what are your thoughts of DRs Fastest lap and DoTD

[snow swan]

Guys?

How do I become an F1 driver?

[storm violet]

Go-Kart then F4 and then go up the table

F3, F2 and then F1

[snow swan]

But how do I??

I am literally broke

[storm violet]

Get really good at Go kart

its all good

Lewis and many drivers were poor

[snow swan]

I am, I have been on the podum in local championships

[storm violet]

How then did Kimi made it

[snow swan]

several times

[storm violet]

thats good

[snow swan]

really??

[storm violet]

yea

you'll need to get money and sponsors

[storm violet]

Kimi was really poor

And look at them

Even then, Ocon got in by blind luck lmao

[storm violet]

nope

[snow swan]

damn

[storm violet]

but aight

[snow swan]

Thanks guys

Appreciate it

[storm violet]

@stiff bough does Riccy have now 13 pts?

[snow swan]

Maybe I'll go pro someday

[stiff bough]

Yes, it just happened to work out when Haryanto did not get money to continue the rest of the year

Like realistically, unless that happened Ocon would've probably never gotten to the grid, and Wehrlein would still be around or at least around longer than he was

[stiff bough]

no, fastest lap point only goes to those eligible (top 10)

[storm violet]

:C

Ok ok,
Step 1: Get pro at karting (win championships)
Step 2: move to europe and secure a financial backing from companies cuz u will need it.
Step 3: enter regional championships
Step 4: Try join a f3 if you are successful
Step 5: If you survive f3 go to f2
Step 6: Impress the f1 team you are under (junior program)
Step 7: Pray you get a spot in f1

but remember that out of a million, only one will prob get a chance to race in f1

Yeah, because he deservees to have a proper exit

[grim egret]

if daniel wasnt the sociable big smile bubbly guy and was more reserved like zhou he would have been gone

[ripe bramble]

they did not even announce he was leaving 😭

[grim egret]

renault was built for him with a mega salary gave them dust and rocks in return

[pure aurora]

Right, because zhou is an 8x winner

[pure aurora]

he did well in renault bro idk what your on about

[grim egret]

daniel was just around because of a horner favour

[pure aurora]

yeah its such bullshit

[grim egret]

he is a pole sitter and a multiple GP winner, and was in two top teams he should be doing what albon has been doing to teamates instead he cant even reach be in the points much less q3

he is so done

[ripe bramble]

can't say much yet tho

[grim egret]

2 podiums 2 fastest laps in 2 years? come on

[pure aurora]

and a win, when the car was ass

[raven wagon]

Renault was like in the midfield, what do you expect

[grim egret]

im talking renault,

he won in a mclaren

[pure aurora]

soooo he dragged a midfielder into a podium, thats pretty damn good

[raven wagon]

And Albon after Redbull had Latifi and Logan as teammates, they are nowhere near the levels of Lando or Yuki

[pure aurora]

Sainz is going to make or break him

[grim egret]

atleast score consistent points thats what midfielders do

[raven wagon]

Yes Danny Ric sucked in Mclaren, but comparing him to what Albon is doing is not even fair

[pure aurora]

he was ass in 22, he wasnt that bad in 21 tbh

[raven wagon]

Now Albon is alr getting matched by Colapinto

[pure aurora]

ah yes, I love it when my classic haas midfielder team scores points consistantly (they score like once every 5 years)

[raven wagon]

In 2020, Danny scored in all but 2 of the races he finished

[pure aurora]

holy shit thats consistant lol

[raven wagon]

So there you go, he scored consistent points

[sonic crescent]

21 was fine, he got a win and didnt wreck any gear, just needed another year in the car... then the rules changed and he showed he needed the right car to be 2014 danny ric

[grim egret]

2nd season at renault he was doing well

[snow swan]

DANNY TO INDY CAR WOULD BE PERFECT.

[grim egret]

and guess what he did next he ran away again

[pure aurora]

what?

[grim egret]

should have stayed at alpine

[pure aurora]

leaving renault was the right choice, I mean

have you seen alpine

[raven wagon]

Had Danny stayed, Cyril might had stayed too

[snow swan]

but it was not right when he decided to leave REDBULL.

[raven wagon]

And I think Alpine wouldnt be that shit as they are now

[pure aurora]

yeah but I get why he did it

[grim egret]

he didnt leave he ran away

the only guy to beat max in equal machinery

[pure aurora]

Lmao why are you trying to hard to paint some narrative where hes a coward? He didnt run away

[snow swan]

.

[snow swan]

well kind ofc 2018 standings max is ahead like 40-50 points.

[raven wagon]

By that logic, Seb didnt leave Redbull after 2014, he ran away

[snow swan]

yeah exactly.

[grim egret]

danny ric ran away from max end OF!

[pure aurora]

dude I cant believe Hamilton is running away from merc

[grim egret]

he gave up a fight for a bigger pay in a lesser team

[pure aurora]

Daniel beat max in 2017 and wouldve in 18 if not for the mechanical errors

also

"END OF!" lmao that made my day

[snow swan]

but we all gotta agree, danny is just nowhere close to his former glory, i think he should just stay out now, also he is 35 dude.

[pure aurora]

guys I think max might run away from redbull

hes too scared of checo

[raven wagon]

Earlier we had this convo, Danny did also mention he was frustrated that Ferrari or Merc didnt want him

[pure aurora]

yeah but this was a bullshit farewell

shoudlve been at abu dhabi

[raven wagon]

Back in 2018 of course

When he was still in Redbull

[pure aurora]

tbh at the end of '21

[snow swan]

Yeah, think it of the other way.. if danny goes out now then lawson would get a month to prepare for the next grand prix.

[pure aurora]

I dont give 2 shits about lawson lol, sign him for next year, he gets 3 whole months to prepare for the next grand prix

[snow swan]

well they didnt confirmed it yet, maybe 2025 rb fires of checo, lawson to redbull and danny returns back to vcarb.

[pure aurora]

nah if they fire checo, itll be danny to RBR

it wont be lawson, hes too much of a rookie

[snow swan]

nah aint happening.

be realistic.

[pure aurora]

exactly, checo aint goin nowhere

between riccardo and lawson, they will pick riccardo

[snow swan]

bro danny would not be promoted to rb main team, lawson would.

[raven wagon]

Redbull would know from Gasly and Albon that promoting a new driver to their main team aint gonna work

[snow swan]

...

[pure aurora]

remember gasley and albon? didnt end too well for them

[raven wagon]

Promoting Lawson shows they didnt learn from Albon in 2020

And 2019

[pure aurora]

they wont promote a rookie

[snow swan]

i mean yeah.

[pure aurora]

at least a few years of experience

[raven wagon]

Yuki has a higher chance at getting that Redbull seat than Lawson currently

[pure aurora]

and RBR hates yuki lol

[snow swan]

danny waas the only one who almost matched max's race pace.

[pure aurora]

didnt almost, he matched him

and beat him

[raven wagon]

Danny did acknowledge that going back to Redbull isnt gonna be a thing now

[pure aurora]

yeah, altho I cant udnerstand why RBR isnt making an announcement

like for fucks sake

what a shitty way to go out

at least logan had an announcement

[raven wagon]

I mean when Kvyat left Alphatauri they had little to no announcement or farewell post about him either

Its a very confusing situation now

Not even Mekies himself is completely sure Danny is gone from f1 for good

And then the entire media and press making it seem that hes actually done for good

But still no official announcement

[snow swan]

but one thing is for sure, danny is a positive guy. i watched his post race interview he was cracking jokes. a lot to learn from him. Also most of the drivers who come to f1 dosent even manage to get a win, danny did and managed to get 8 of them.

[grim egret]

na he is done with motorsport at his age he is definetly a has been

he removed everything motorsport from his insta

[raven wagon]

He can race in Nascar or Indy

Just no longer f1

[grim egret]

i dont know about nascar and how it works

but yeah for social media following and clout but not racewins

like a mascot driver

[raven wagon]

Raikkonen did 1 race for Nascar if im not wrong after 2021

K Mag did Indy in 2021?

For 1 race also

I remember him reuniting with Grosjean

[snow swan]

not sure abt that, but yeah kmag did race in indy car.

imagine Danny ric returns again after 2 or 3 years again.

💀

[raven wagon]

Eh, nah

Hes not Alonso

I dont even think Seb is gonna come back either

There are tons of feeder series drivers waiting for their chance at f1 also

Theres like Lindblad, Hadjar, Bortoleto, Mini etc

[grim egret]

Max Verstappen is now guaranteed the title if he finishes second to Norris in every remaining Grand Prix and sprint, regardless of the fastest lap bonuses.
This is because Daniel Ricciardo set the fastest lap in the Singapore Grand Prix.

[snow swan]

well who thought that he would return with mcl in 2021?

[raven wagon]

You mean Alpine?

[lethal bramble]

He's talking about Danny

[snow swan]

.

[lethal bramble]

Including sprint races, if Max finishes p2 in all of them he wins by a point

[minor juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/wubbzy-gif-22257363

[snow swan]

nah, danny

[snow swan]

max aint winning all races p2.

neither do lando would manage to win all of the races.

[lethal bramble]

Can someone calculate how many more points Norris needs to score over Max per race? Is it 9 points or

[snow swan]

52/6 - 9 points.

every race he needs to outscore max.

which aint happening.

[lethal bramble]

Basically he has to hold P1 and Pastryboy has to hold P2

[snow swan]

Imagine FIA decided to spice things up like they did 2014 with double points in last race abu dhabi.

[snow swan]

pastry boy what.

[lethal bramble]

Oscar

[snow swan]

ikr, nice acronym.

was just admiring it.

[snow swan]

this could be a possibility aint it?

[lethal bramble]

Ok so double points in abu dhabi includes or excludes fastest lap?

Like if you finish p1 + fl are you getting 52 or 51

[snow swan]

lemme do some maths wait.

[lethal bramble]

If it is double points in Abu Dhabi
Norris will win if he gets P1 all races and sprints + fastest lap

Even if Max stays in P2

But Max can win if he stays P2 and gets all fastest laps instead

The only way I see double points happening is if Max solidifies his WDC in Qatar

Meaning if the gap between Max and Norris is greater than 26 points

If they double points it up for a gap less than 26 points it will be unfair to Max

[snow swan]

Current Points:
Max: 331 points
Lando: 279 points
Point Gap: 52 points
Race Outcomes with Lando's Teammate Securing 2nd Place:
Assuming Max's Performance:
If Lando Wins All 6 Races:

Points for Lando:
6
×
25

150
6×25=150
Total for Lando:
279

279+150=429
Max's Points:

If Max finishes 3rd in all races:

6×15=90
Total for Max:
331
+
90

421
331+90=421
In this scenario:

Lando: 429 points
Max: 421 points
Lando wins by 8 points.
If Max Secures Different Positions:
If Max Secures 2nd Place in All Races:
Points for Max:
6

6×18=108
Total for Max:
331
+
108

439
331+108=439
In this scenario:

Lando: 429 points
Max: 439 points
Max wins by 10 points.
Summary of Scenarios:
If Lando wins all 6 races and Max finishes 3rd in all, Lando would win.
If Lando wins all 6 races and Max finishes 2nd in all, Max would still take the championship.
Conclusion:
For Lando to win the championship, he needs to win all the races while Max needs to finish in lower positions. If Lando wins every race and his teammate consistently secures 2nd, he has a strong chance to win, but it largely depends on Max's performance. If Max finishes consistently in 2nd, Lando will need to win and have Max finish lower than that.

[pure aurora]

mr yapperton

[wet sequoia]

Remember Red Bull have upgrades for COTA as well

If Max wins you’d be fairly certain he’ll keep WDC

[rotund ice]

atp upgrades do nothing

[wet sequoia]

Depends on where you stand

For Red Bull it might solve their balance problems and their front nose issues

For teams like Ferrari and McLaren you might get a tenth per lap

For Aston they might have an early 2023 car again

For Sauber they might get a fucking point

[rotund ice]

Sauber is already cooked

well done

[wet sequoia]

Nevertheless upgrades can have benefits depending where it’s focused, even this late in the year

[snow swan]

according to my calculation lando to have a chance need to finsih p1 in all races, which aint hapenning.

Lando Winning:

Winning All + Max Crashing: High probability (e.g., 60%).
Winning All + Max Finishing 2nd: Lower probability (e.g., 30%).
Mixed scenarios with crashes: Varies, but let’s say around 20%.
Max Winning:

If Lando wins and Max finishes lower, his chance reduces significantly.
If Max consistently finishes 2nd: High probability (e.g., 70%).
Conclusion (Estimated Percentages)
Lando's Chance to Win: ~40% overall (considering crashes, wins, and Max’s placements).
Max's Chance to Win: ~60% overall.

so yeah max would secure wdc no doubt.

chat gpt for the win.

💀

[lethal bramble]

Capstix aiming for 88

[rotund ice]

LMAO

[snow swan]

,,,

[lethal bramble]

Max dnfs are damn near impossible unless RedBull mess up the balance/heating

[snow swan]

see i have taken in account all the possibilities of max and lando crashing then to realistically there aint a chance lando would win.

until pastry boy get team orders to crash into max's car/

💀

[snow swan]

Thanks man

[lethal bramble]

More likely is Piastri, the Ferraris and Mercs holding up Max so he stays out of the podium

[stuck shoal]

fr

[ripe bramble]

all we need is lando dnf one race and hes prob out of contention

i think

[lethal bramble]

Nah

[ripe bramble]

well no one would know anyways

just watch and see

[lethal bramble]

If we consider worst case scenario: Max dnfs all races and sprints

Lando would also have to dnf many races to lose

[ripe bramble]

wym

he still has 51 points

to go

[vestal hatch]

52*

[ripe bramble]

my bad

[mild mist]

one DNF is enough to turn this WDC upside down

[cold solar]

tbh i think the wdc is max's

[terse rover]

that's how its looking like for now

unless lando can keep continuing what he did at singapore and zandvoort

he probably can't do that every race weekend but he just needs to capitalise when max is down

[cold solar]

not rlly singapore
he only gained 7 points
that aint enough

[tired crow]

Max put way too good of a performance in before summer break to lose imo

[terse rover]

yeah im just saying he should do the maximum possible, which he did in singapore

not his fault max decided to pull the tractor to p2

[snow swan]

See y'all in 26 days I guess

[pure aurora]

bye

[stark pendant]

why does horner kinda look like this

in that pic

[cold solar]

how many perez's

[terse rover]

so everyone out in q1 then?

[small steppe]

no checlerc gets pole by 8 tenth and crashes in lap 38

[kindred cedar]

Lap 71*

He couldnt destroy our hoped that easy

[barren rock]

Max Perezstappen, Lewis Permilton, Charles Perclerc, George Persull, Lance Stroll, Pierre Perezly

[compact cove]

lance stroll is just lance stroll lmao

[brittle copper]

Expected Merc to do better 😦

[split knoll]

Istg if I don’t see Danny next race. 😭

[lime fog]

yeah 😭

i will probably cry if he's not there

[split knoll]

Same.

Like Danny was the entire reason I started liking F1. Cause at the time he was the only Aussie on the grid.

[twin gazelle]

so you mean they'll change the F1 intro too? 😭

[lime fog]

if danny leaves, yeah

[twin gazelle]

😭

[kindred cedar]

Now we got 4

[snow swan]

nah, he would still be there in the standings even he is not on the grid.

[kindred cedar]

He truly gave us a generation of aussie domination

[split knoll]

🥲🥹

[kindred cedar]

Yeah but they changed the intro for baku with ollie so they prib will

[lime fog]

logan sargeant isnt in the intro anymore

[snow swan]

k

dont loose hope, see the thing is if redbull fires of checo perez in 2025, redbull would not promote any young driver in their team as they learnt lessons by promoting albon, piere they cleary know nothing would work alongside max. So danny ric can probably be promoted to the rb seat.

[snow swan]

.

[lime fog]

i kind of like checo but i love daniel more, so im hoping

[split knoll]

Yeah… Thats the thing we’ve been counting on Perez’s downfall but he… Well sells lots of shirts. 😭

[upbeat star]

what the sigma

[wooden kettle]

idk. i wish it didnt have to happen

[drifting sapphire]

danny is the funniest dude on track imo

[edgy topaz]

Guys is Daniel actually leaving 😭😭

[kindred cedar]

Um 75%. Hance

[zealous ginkgo]

muted 1 day bc saying p o o r e z

[zealous ginkgo]

50/50

[fervent swift]

Only Norris closed his points Gap to Verstappen while Leclerc's gap increase to 86 and Piastri's gap increased to 94

[ashen coral]

Dany boy should be good right? I mena come on

[hardy herald]

atp i dont think charles has a chance anymore

[kindred cedar]

Needs to outscore by 14.5 per race

[hardy herald]

yup but i highly doubt he can do that for the rest of the season especially w lando improving

[fervent swift]

its not realistic anymore for everyone except Norris

[carmine dove]

Guys sorry its my fault there was no safety car this year

[fervent swift]

then you can fix it

[fervent swift]

here you go

[light hedge]

Wow that's a great logo

Lego

But it is expensive here 😦

[crude vigil]

It’s expensive everywhere

Especially a set like this with ALL the sponsors and licensing

[barren rock]

imcomparable to any driver

[compact cove]

fr 🔥

[turbid pine]

If there is a mod or admin here , I wanted to ask why I was muted? Because I don't know where to find the reason I was

[tulip pagoda]

I'm so glad Danny won driver of the day

[drifting geyser]

You're likely to catch another mute for evading the automod

[zealous ginkgo]

ok

[coarse obsidian]

Can someone educate me on this word? What does it mean?

[turbid pine]

Basically mocking Perez by using his name and poor? Or maybe poo?

[oblique yoke]

Wsp

[drifting geyser]

Precisely

[coarse obsidian]

And that's the reason for a 1 day mute. Because mocking/having fun?!? Then again, I was muted for a week using a common English word.

[zealous ginkgo]

they call him like that bc he crashes too much+

[turbid pine]

I'm not a mod , but apparently yeah? Idk

[turbid pine]

Yeah , I am aware kinda

[zealous ginkgo]

its automatic

[turbid pine]

I still don't know why I was muted for 1 day 😭😭

[zealous ginkgo]

how do yall get roles

i cant

i only got a ban from technical

[turbid pine]

What do you mean? You just go to the role channel and select roles

[drifting geyser]

"having fun" is not an excuse for being toxic

[coarse obsidian]

Okay John, then why I see different versions of Max’s last name and nothing happens?

[drifting geyser]

Got an example?

[coarse obsidian]

Nope don’t need a mute

[drifting geyser]

The Perez ones were probably added because they were used a lot for toxicity

[coarse obsidian]

But you know

[zealous ginkgo]

got it

[drifting geyser]

How is it true that "nothing happens" then

[coarse obsidian]

You tell me

[drifting geyser]

The last slander name for Verstappen in this channel seems to have been 5 months ago and it's from a subsequently banned member

[thorny blade]

did ricciardo really just set a lap record in one of his last laps as an f1 driver

[terse rover]

race lap record, but not overall track wr

So they'll protect them

[turbid pine]

?

[iron coral]

Insider info

[nimble canopy]

I miss Ted during the races but DC holds shit tf down on F1 live channel

Speaking Coulthard probably better than Ric and Per rn

[hollow hornet]

Is danny ric leaving

?

[crude vigil]

I mean probably

If not this race then end of the season

[hollow hornet]

😭

R they stupid

[stiff venture]

He is being promoted to customer

[crude vigil]

[crude vigil]

He’s shit, time for him to go tbh

He could still have a chance at WEC or Indycar or something like that

Maybe he could pull an alonso and come back as a rookie next season 💀

[zealous ginkgo]

i was so idiot that i thought the fastest lap frop p11 to p20 counted a point

[wooden kettle]

right.

[prime slate]

saying that he is shit is a total exageration, man hjas won more races than Norris and Piastri combined?

Hes been unlucky with the current regulations that produce a car nopt fit for his driving style, but 2026 could be a big change for him

[remote knoll]

Eh you can't compare Ricciardo's wins to Norris and Piastris'

[prime slate]

heh

[crude vigil]

Yh I meant like, relative to now. The car, his performance. It’s just a shame he’s not performing well anymore.

[tulip pagoda]

It would be so cruel of them to kick him out now. Swapping out a driver for a rookie isn't going to change them in terms of constructor points. Danny is a fan favorite, I feel like Red Bull owes it to him to let him finish out the season to have a proper goodbye to F1

[prime slate]

yeah I get that, I just see allot of new guys saying he doesn't deserve the seat

[prime slate]

thats like saying u cant compare max's titles to lewis's titles

[remote knoll]

No

[crude vigil]

New guys 💀 I’ve been into motorsports since Jesus was on Earth

[crude vigil]

Cough cough nyck de vries

They don’t give a fuck

[prime slate]

they rlly dont

[tulip pagoda]

Obviously they don't care but I'm just saying my opinion

[stiff venture]

You say that like it’s a good thing. All that means is that you have rose tinted nostalgia glasses on so thick you can’t see without them

[remote knoll]

Piastri is in his 2nd year and this is Norris' first year with a car that can consistently fight for wins

[crude vigil]

I have 22/22 vision

[remote knoll]

Ofc Ricciardo will have more wins

doesn't mean he is better

[prime slate]

what? Ricciardo won in a much more difficult enviroment

[remote knoll]

How so

[stiff venture]

Idk… I think the current grid is more talent packed

[prime slate]

talent yes, cars no

[crude vigil]

Ricciardo should walk, would be faster than his driving

[prime slate]

half of the cars dont work

u can see talent on a track like signapore

[crude vigil]

Kick sauber 💀😭

[prime slate]

but the time diff these last seasons wass wild

and the last time weve seen that was merc domination

and rb ofc

[stiff venture]

Oh so? From what I hear back in the day 25-35% of the grid DNFed every week

[prime slate]

yeah

back in the day they were able to do that

[crude vigil]

Ahh the good days

[prime slate]

they didnt have 3 engines for the season

[crude vigil]

They were able to not finish 💀

[prime slate]

they would blow an engine on quali alone

thats what made f1 so fun

people soi mad abt winning they were dying trying

[stiff venture]

Yes, let’s watch a Motorsport where the best thing is to see who isn’t going to be able to race this weekend due to mechanical issues

[stiff bough]

is that what made it fun

or part of it

[prime slate]

nah people have stopped going for risky driving

the cars are safer

but the races get more and more mundane

i think Ham and Ver were the last 2 who were pulling risky moves nearly every race

now its a rare sight

[remote knoll]

Colapinto was the last one

that move pissed Albon off

[torn lily]

Colapinto at the start was the most interesting part of singapore gp

[stiff bough]

albon when he gets divebombed by his teammate who kept the car fully in control and didnt miss his apex

crazy

[torn lily]

So crazy

[remote knoll]

What else can you expect from Singapore besides safety cars

we didn't even get that 💀

[remote knoll]

Absolute filth

Albon jealous because Colapinto made his double overtake in Canada look like nothing

[torn lily]

Safety cars are a lost art someone said

[remote knoll]

surely are this season

[placid halo]

was almost like Monaco tbh

[torn lily]

Watching singapore after whatever the fuck was baku was a pretty underwhelming experience

[stiff bough]

thats the average singapore race for you

[placid halo]

yeah Singapore lacks some longer straights

overtaking slightly easier than Monaco but still

[still forge]

I mean, barring a mechanical failure, if you get pole in Singapore you have basically won the race (Except if you're Charles Leclerc)

It's hilarious, only 4 times the poleman has not won in Singapore, 2 is because of a DNF, and 2 have the poleman (Leclerc in BOTH cases) finishing P2

[sly badger]

So,about calculations

Lando needs to get 8.6 points more than Max in all remaining weeks in order to have a chance for the WDC

[static heart]

Thanks!

[mild palm]

this honestly baku was a shit show of a gp 😭

[sly badger]

Virtually this means that even if Lando wins all the races with a fastest lap, if Max finishes 2nd in all, Max wins

With the sprint races included

[paper socket]

Goodbye Danny 😞

Is it confirmed this is it for him?

So sad

[sly badger]

No official notification about Danny leaving

Yet

[sage marlin]

It would make zero sense to fire him, especially if it's in the middle of a season

He's only 2 places behind Tsunoda

[sly badger]

They did with Logan and look how it went

[sage marlin]

That's because he was actually underperforming

[brave tree]

With 1 point , it would be crazy but theres ferrari to claim p2 and maybe 1 or 2 wins

[sage marlin]

I did the calculations and that is true

So Piastri would have to help his teammate

And Leclerc should also finish ahead of max as often as possible

[sly badger]

With a month break, we'll have possibly the last of big upgrades for the teams

[brave tree]

Yeah, but honestly i dont think theres another win for max this season, if he can win another race, then he deserves WDC anyway, crazy performance at the start

[remote knoll]

hopefully Austin

[sly badger]

Max did the Button 2009 strat

[remote knoll]

fr

[brave tree]

Also norris didnt out score max by 8.6 points the whole season except Australia which is crazy and I might be false

[paper socket]

Hope it’s not true but Danny’s look says it all

[sly badger]

Honestly,it's over for Ricciardo

[storm drum]

honestly, even if they don't kick him out midseason i can't believe VCarb and RBR let the speculations get so bad that this man truly believes he's gone.

[sly badger]

Better to take Lawson right away into the seat if they want him to be ready for 2025 already

[sage marlin]

This

[sly badger]

It's not really the middle of the season anymore

We are already going to the last round of the championship with only 6 races left

[sage marlin]

Still before the season is over

Imagine if McLaren fires Piastri Midway through next year because he's behind Norris in standings

If anyone should be fired before the season is over it's Perez

[sly badger]

Difference is, Piastri is performing and is actually showing signs that sooner or later he'll be surpassing Lando in performance and Perez was expected to be at least close to Max in the races (though we now know it's mostly attributed to RedBull's path of failed upgrades).

[stiff bough]

except he only did good for one race and the second Max got back on top of things he was trundling around the back where has been the entire year

[sly badger]

Ricciardo is in the same boat as De Vries right now

He got called back into the team with the expectation of his performances being better than Tsunoda and his only moments of shining were Mexico 2023 and Canada 2024

Though Canada was a race where Ferrari went back to 2020 levels of performance and Checo did crash again

[stiff venture]

Didn't albon crash too

[pure aurora]

LMAO

the receney bias is insane

[sly badger]

Yeah

[stiff bough]

receney

dudes been buns

what can i say

[pure aurora]

you know wha I mean

[stiff bough]

i know you mean receney

[pure aurora]

dude I absouletely love the word receney, it has such a depth and flavour to it

Scoring your second F1 win in Baku two weeks ago fighting Charles Leclerc until the end. How are you feeling about your chances to win the championship?

[pure aurora]

Uhh I think its a rare chance, and uh landos obviouslt ahead, so well have to wait till next year

[remote knoll]

Speaking of Lando, people have been strongly suggesting that he isn't a WDC contender in F1 compared to you.

Do you think you are better than Lando Norris?

[pure aurora]

Lamdos better than me rn yes, the standings are a testimoney to that, but for 2025 the cards will be reshuffled

[remote knoll]

Interesting
