[frozen laurel]

(hungary never happened)

[barren charm]

Well.. almost flawless.

[frozen laurel]

lmao

[brave tree]

%99 flawless

[timber oxide]

Considering horner admited that they ignored perez concerns not really but didn't work towards helping him to bounce back

[barren charm]

He drove like shit on hungary ngl

[frozen laurel]

it was the most dominant car in the history of the sport. surely you can drag it into q3 😭

[barren charm]

And also, please

[hushed olive]

Lewis in q1 and q2: 💪🔥
Lewis in q3 (which is what matters): 💀

[barren charm]

When i say a driver drove like a shit on a race, don't take it seriously. It doesn't mean i hate a driver.

[mortal marsh]

Where do u get this info from

[frozen laurel]

what that it was most dominant?

[barren charm]

Max is literally my favorite driver and i'm literally saying he drove like shit on hungary.

[mortal marsh]

Lewis was lol

[timber oxide]

We need lewis back with charles in a good car

[frozen laurel]

you mean the w11?

[barren charm]

I might sound delusional but i wanna disagree. I mean it was.

[mortal marsh]

yes

[frozen laurel]

w11 strictly going by speed most likely had the biggest gap to its competitors. however they lost 2 races that season i believe

[brave tree]

Max deserves this wdc not norris even though it would be epic

[barren charm]

But i have a hard time believing the RB19 is more dominant than the 2016 Mercedes or the 2014 Mercedes that were DOMINATING without using the power at full.

[frozen laurel]

whereas the rb19 had a 95% win percentage

[mortal marsh]

And max has lost like 6 this season so far or smth

[frozen laurel]

im talking about last year lol

[cyan saffron]

yeah, Monza and Sakhir

[frozen laurel]

you really think im saying this years car is that most dominant ever 😭

[mortal marsh]

Mercedes has been overall more dominant team ever, but RB had most dominant car for 1 year

[frozen laurel]

and 70th anniversary and abu dhabi i thought

[cyan saffron]

oh right

[frozen laurel]

did i say the most dominant team? or did i say the most dominant CAR ever

[cyan saffron]

70th Anniversary Max won.

[brave tree]

Yeah max won twice

[mortal marsh]

Idk I think u said car

[frozen laurel]

smacked the merc's at home

[timber oxide]

let audi cook, they will put quattro in that car and start wining

[cyan saffron]

Abu Dhabi I don't even remember.

[brave tree]

Abu dhabi too

[mortal marsh]

But that’s only 1 year

[frozen laurel]

exactly, so strictly one season is what i'm referring too

[mortal marsh]

ok

[barren charm]

Brother.
Mercedes in 2014 to 2016 was using the car at 30% of the power and still dominant but some LH fans have the balls to say the RB19 was the most insane car ever seen. 😭

[cyan saffron]

Monza was Pierre.

and Sakhir Checo

[frozen laurel]

lmao pulling out 2 seconds per lap after SC restart in 2014 bahrain

[timber oxide]

Sakhir mentioned

[mortal marsh]

When did I say that

Like ever

[barren charm]

Imagine using the car WITHOUT FULL POWER for 3 YEARS and still oliberating the whole grid.

[barren charm]

Nah not you, you didn't say that

[frozen laurel]

kinda funny ngl. engineering masterclass

[mortal marsh]

oh

Kimi Ant > Russel fr

[frozen laurel]

but yeah i believe numbers wise, rb19 is most dominant

95% races won is nuts

[barren charm]

Silverstone 2020 quali.
Mercedes 1-2 and nearly 1.3 seconds to the 3rd car

[frozen laurel]

i think the mp4/4 had 94%

[timber oxide]

Newey masterclass

[frozen laurel]

gaps in the past were massive, you only realise that when you go watch old qualis

its so so different now. we had hulkenburg a few tenths from pole today

[mortal marsh]

Rb has already fallen at this point, never gonna be as competitive as last 2 years

[barren charm]

But being real the W11 was possibly faster to the 2nd car than the RB19 was.

[frozen laurel]

realistically you can't top that 2023 season

that much is clear lmao

[barren charm]

Like the advantage gap to the 2nd fastest car was bigger in the W11 than it was with the RB19

[mortal marsh]

yeah, new car in 2026, either McLaren or Ferrari dominance will come

[barren charm]

It's just my opinion, that W11 Merc was SCARY GOOD

[frozen laurel]

dont underrate mercedes

they might be cooking something up

[barren charm]

Apparently Mercedes might be having the best engine for 2026.

[mortal marsh]

Yeah I know lol, I support them. But they always get something wrong. Gotta be pretty lucky to have dominance after 8 years of it a few years prior

[wooden kettle]

honestly im going home, showering and immediately going through the photos i took

[frozen laurel]

hey idk about luck, but i've heard their engineering team is really sound

[barren charm]

Can i ask something?

[mortal marsh]

I’m never switching from Mercedes. They will always be my #1 lol, idc the driver

[mortal marsh]

Let’s hope so

[barren charm]

That's exactly what i was gonna ask. W Captain.

[mortal marsh]

yes

[frozen laurel]

lmao

[wooden kettle]

imma be honest i barely saw any for sale. i think probably if you go into the general f1 merch section that’s where you’ll find it. that’s also where they shove vcarb lol

[barren charm]

I never switching from Ferrari and McLaren tbh

[mortal marsh]

🔥

[tepid latch]

Not even suprised

[frozen laurel]

i go sleep now, gn chat

[winged dagger]

MAX ON POLE AGAIN

[barren charm]

Red Bull tbh i wanna say the same but i only like Max at this point.

[mortal marsh]

Bye bye

[barren charm]

gn mate

[winged dagger]

are we hearing the dutch anthem again chat????

[frozen laurel]

o/

[mortal marsh]

Perez is as good as like, Leclerc on a bad day

[barren charm]

I always liked Red Bull as a team but now not that much anymore.

[chrome sundial]

YES MAX

[wooden kettle]

im ngl my ears feel funny now (ive been wearing ear protection all day tho so it could be that)

[chrome sundial]

PLEASE

Anybody but Lando.

[barren charm]

I HOPE

[mortal marsh]

Tbh max is just ruthless, his personality he does not give a crap about anyone or anything, wants to win. Just like every other driver but idk. He’s chill at gaming lmao, he’s a nice person which I respect

[barren charm]

Should i put the Red Bull role or no?

[cyan saffron]

no

[wooden kettle]

chat i have like 600 photos to sort thru tonight fml

[barren charm]

Because i like Max but Red Bull? Idk

[chrome sundial]

They’ve been poached like crazy, lots have left to Ferrari & RBPT — the winning formula of engineers, has changed

[fast fable]

Back in April 24 (I think?):

[mortal marsh]

I think max is carrying the team, so unless u support only max, I don’t think it’s worth, because at this point if u are supporting rb it’s only because max is dominant

[wooden kettle]

a lot of it will be easy cuts but there were a lot of fire photos

[fast fable]

[Was looking for something else, this came up. Thought why not repost it.]

[chrome sundial]

Wait are u trackside??

[barren charm]

I liked Red Bull a lot before this shit of the members leaving happened

[wooden kettle]

im on the bus going back downtown now but i was, yes.

[mortal marsh]

Yeah, I support the company, not the team lmao

[chrome sundial]

Ahhhh that’s amazing haha
COTA has such a buzz to it!!

[mortal marsh]

The drink is kinda good. But ‘V’ is better lol

[sage wolf]

Wtf is v

[chrome sundial]

It’s truly 1 of my favs

[mortal marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/green-v-v-energy-v-energy-drink-energy-drink-green-v-energy-gif-11802896529069623408

[barren charm]

Haas looks fast, or i'm drunk?

[wooden kettle]

honestly i put too much in my bag skdbsjdbd
i tried using a second lens but it didnt look good

[mortal marsh]

It looks mid, but I tried for first time the over day, it’s sooo good

[sage wolf]

I ain’t ever heard of v😭

[chrome sundial]

Haas has been relativity fast lately tbf

[mortal marsh]

It looks average, but so good. Tried it the other week. Levels better then redbul

[wooden kettle]

so i think i’ll be like half as tired tomorrow if i just cut out a lot of the shit i’m not using

[barren charm]

I still gotta finish my Red Bull career mode in F1 23 lol

[sage wolf]

It’s obviously cause of Toyota

[mortal marsh]

Better then rb

[wooden kettle]

realllll

[sage wolf]

I got 2 more races in my career

[chrome sundial]

Toyota DNA not in their bloodstream yet right?

[wooden kettle]

chatters i managed to snag a spot right next to pit exit for quali
oh my god

[wooden kettle]

i dont think so lol

[chrome sundial]

This partnership is new no?

I might be tripping, but the livery is like the same

[wooden kettle]

but nico and kmag looked good out there

[mortal marsh]

Tbh once Lewis leaves Mercedes, I’m gonna be sad, but I’m sticking with Mercedes. I will still support Lewis as a driver, W dominance, a goat

[barren charm]

It is but sponsor.

By the way, sorry for my english.

[wooden kettle]

it helps that gazoo racing is mostly the same color or whatever

[barren charm]

W Captain.

[chrome sundial]

Likewise

[cyan saffron]

Also the livery is a bit different.

[chrome sundial]

Lewis is my fav driver, but Mercedes is my fav team.

Like I go out of my way to root for the other teams merc supplies lol

[cyan saffron]

Especially on the rear wing there's Toyota everywhere.

[barren charm]

Do they have the GR?

[mortal marsh]

I don’t really have a fav driver. I guess Lewis, but Sainz, yuki, Norris are all super cool

[wooden kettle]

i had fun today tho as destroyed as my muscles are.
i had to resist the urge to nerd out at people.
i REALLY wanna do this sort of thing again

[cyan saffron]

I think Gazoo Racing is on it as well.

Yeah, it is.

[wooden kettle]

my fav is danny :)))))))))

[barren charm]

W HAAS

[mortal marsh]

Not the best, but always remembered. W

[barren charm]

My fav is Max but i also love Lewis, Franco, Leclerc and Piastri

[chrome sundial]

The prince who never became king.

[fleet aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/max-verstappen-max-verstappen-f1-formula1-gif-26647660

[mortal marsh]

‘The honeybadger’ ahh lol

[wooden kettle]

tbh i had a guy be like “i cant believe they did this to our boy” at the start
and then i saw a shitton of danny merch around track

[chrome sundial]

Fantastic stuff from him today.

Perez being a liability once again too.

[wooden kettle]

so defo remembered fondly for sure

[barren charm]

Wassup Cosmic

[chrome sundial]

He is easily still, 1 of the faces of Formula 1 — I imagine he’ll be 1 of those for a while

[fleet aspen]

So nice to see Maxipies back on pole again 🥹

[chrome sundial]

He helped cultivate the sport during the Netflix boom frfr

[merry island]

COSSS HOW WAS IT

[fleet aspen]

Would be lovely to hear the Dutch national anthem this weekend

[chrome sundial]

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but yes

[dawn zealot]

Nature is healing

[grizzled needle]

I feel bad for hamilton

[chrome sundial]

Would love to see some orange flares too. 🧡

[grizzled needle]

He could have made top 5

[mortal marsh]

Poor decisions can change the entire race tbh

[chrome sundial]

What exsftly happened with him?

Swapped onto the softs and he just seemed to struggle — from what the highlights showed

[grizzled needle]

Fire the person reponcible LMAO

[fleet aspen]

They went out extremely early. Russel seemed to cope well but Lewis struggled

[mortal marsh]

Nah, everyone makes mistakes. Lewis could have probably done a little better, and team could have optimised hisdriving style to a time that he would have been better

[chrome sundial]

Oof

Yhyh saw that

What was the reasoning there genuinely??

[mortal marsh]

I think Lewis drive style is better later on in the qualifying tbh

[fleet aspen]

I don’t think that they gave one, or if they have I don’t know about it

[mortal marsh]

‘Less traffic’

[chrome sundial]

Oh please.

[candid salmon]

holy shit, I don't watch ONE TIME and Max gets pole

[chrome sundial]

Literally me.

Was very pleased to see him back on the top

[candid salmon]

anything is better than Norris

[chrome sundial]

Can’t have lando cutting down that lead bro

[chrome sundial]

EXACTLY😭😭😭😭

I love how people have all come together to agree on this, like we’ve put down the rivalries it’s amazing

[candid salmon]

indeed

🙏

[mortal marsh]

Yet every time he is 1st he never gets 1st when he comes first in qualifying l. The he gets third on quali and gets 1st in race

[covert lichen]

Liam>riccardo

[candid salmon]

obviously

[chrome sundial]

Let’s specify, Liam>2024 Riccardo

Because if we’re talking whole career ..

[mortal marsh]

Both drivers are basically same skill level. ATM Liam probably has a better mind set, which gains him a place or to; otherwise, basically same

[neat fern]

What we talking bout

[chrome sundial]

@jagged cloak can we have slow mode reduced ples

[mortal marsh]

Liam vs Ricky

[chrome sundial]

= loss for A.T & R.B, no more marketing powerhouse

[grizzled needle]

As they say practice makes perfect

[lilac wasp]

a

[tardy lava]

at this point, promote tsunoda, demote checo

[mortal marsh]

Lain will never be as good as Ric peak tho

[twin fox]

WTH happened to McLaren in sprint quali ????

P4 & P16!?

[cyan saffron]

Oscar had track limits in SQ1.

And Lando I don't even know why he's only 4th.

[twin fox]

Oh, sad

[cyan saffron]

Well, apart from that Max, George and Charles were just faster.

[twin fox]

And Max pole? Their car is good again?

[twin fox]

Oh : (

[sharp veldt]

car #1 = p1

car #11 = p11

it was meant to be

[rocky timber]

Liam must be feeling the pressure

Yuki placed higher and Colopinto keeps killing it

[cyan saffron]

Nah, Liam just drove around COTA for the 1st time ever.

[sudden niche]

car #55 - p5 too

[twin fox]

And car #4 = P4 😞

[ancient sand]

How tf did max get pole

[stone hazel]

god knows

[ancient sand]

I was fking sleeping shit

[stone hazel]

i feel like red bull has done smth

[stone hazel]

not in a good way

[ancient sand]

Nah bro skill issue

[stone hazel]

who knows

[rocky timber]

Same with Colopinto

[stone hazel]

i might be talking out of the blue

[twin fox]

I was seeing the timings, did lando make a mistake in the third sector? Cause he was faster than both ferraris and equally fast as max through first 2 sectors but lost time in 3rd.

[stone hazel]

i mean, i think its already obvious who's better (not in the related topic 😂)

[ancient sand]

Are there highlights for quali?

[stone hazel]

no, there isnt

[stone hazel]

there is for sprint tho

[ancient sand]

I wanted to see :/

[stiff venture]

Honest mistake we will see tomorrow

[wicked adder]

https://tenor.com/view/max-verstappen-maxverstappen-max33-keeppushing-gif-14900858

he today

[ancient sand]

Mercedes was faster I think

Than redbulls

[scenic inlet]

Yes until sq3

[ancient sand]

You saying that redbull got faster in sq3?

[fierce pelican]

Until Hamilton made a mistake which costed him a guaranteed pole yes

[scenic inlet]

That’s what I was tryna say

[scenic inlet]

Max could’ve gotten pole all of a sudden because he locked in

[ancient sand]

Max really wants the Dutch national anthem back

https://youtu.be/hGm41ej-uK8?si=zXvNkYNSX8GwKTVw

[chilly hill]

timing of race ass missed fp1

[orchid ledge]

Brev just woke up and saw we ended up at p4 and p16

[tidal mural]

Lol y’all Europeans are finally understanding the struggle we North Americans face weekly

[winter forge]

the race isnt even bad in european times lol the actual races are in the evening and the quali sessions are at midnight

[twin fox]

😭

[dawn zealot]

The last sprint race was at 3AM for me. I don't want to hear a word lmao.

[ruby cairn]

the australian struggles we don't even understand

[orchid ledge]

Exactlyy

Ferrari got p3 and p5 which is quite surprising tbf

[wicked adder]

i want God wants too

[tulip pagoda]

What is this the result of?

[vale rose]

practice 1

[tidal mural]

FP1

[tidal mural]

Dang I was almost there

[queen orbit]

closest race ever

[ripe bramble]

fr

ferrari dominance may bore fans tho

[crisp mason]

Ong

Mclaren dominance tho, exhilerating!!!

[fleet aspen]

Has anyone here read Will Buxton’s books? Are they worth a read? 👀

[fleet aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/max-verstappen-f1-formula-1-reaction-confused-gif-17572467395808942930

[crisp mason]

If its anything like he is on DTS id say no

[regal needle]

Morning Team. It's Sprint Day and also will be Qualifying Day

[fleet aspen]

1/3rd of the way through Shogun atm and then looking for another book that’s different. Possible Guenther Steiners new book but thought Will Buxton books might be worth a read? 👀

[astral dune]

Finally we can shut people up abt a title fight that has never happened

[crisp mason]

You cant say there isnt one but yea its more of a title race

But also sprint quali doesnt mean shit for the actual race

For all we know, redbull could only be quick in quali and still slow in race

[grave cosmos]

MAX ON SPRINT POLE FINALLY

I pray for times like this

[regal needle]

He'll be ready to increase his Champions Points

But McLaren still gonna lead the Top

[crisp mason]

Nah i honestly think he will get overtaken

Redbull is most likely just fast in quali

@toxic siren can we lose slowmode?

[toxic siren]

ye

[crisp mason]

Ty

[toxic siren]

there you go

[regal needle]

I mean, McLaren do plans to go for Constructor Champions Winning

[crisp mason]

Yea

Which in my opinion is dumb, they can easily win both championships.

Being that theyre already many points ahead in wcc

Lando could by now be around 20 points or less off max if they helped him win wdc

[regal needle]

Still a Long way to await New Contract Announcement

[crisp mason]

But ofcourse they prioritized wcc when they were already looking on pace to be winning it

Im glad theyre gonna win a championship, its just not the one that id prefer yk

Highest finishing position lando has had in standings previously is 4th right?

In 2021 i think right

Mb, 6th

[wet sequoia]

6th last year as well

WCC is more important for the teams over WDC

[crisp mason]

I know that

[wet sequoia]

WDC only brings bragging rights and the number 1

[crisp mason]

But given they were on pace to win it

Surely when theyre already on pace why switch drivers around?

[wet sequoia]

Because they don’t want a 1 2 dynamic

[crisp mason]

Like i get why they did it but at hungary their finishing positions didnt change wcc points so why not let lando have hungary for the wdc

[crisp mason]

I get that but if lando is the only driver rn who can challenge max

[wet sequoia]

Yes stealing your team mates first win is genius

[crisp mason]

Yea but lando was ahead

I know oscar deserved it more but lando was like 10 seconds ahead right?

And then in silverstone mclaren gave lando a cooked strategy

[wet sequoia]

Who they gave the preferred strategy to just to block off Hamilton, then Norris puts the foot down on prepped tyres when Piastri came out on colds

[regal needle]

McLaren to Oscar: Don't worry about Lando

[wet sequoia]

and Norris bitched for 10 laps about it

[crisp mason]

Its just stupid to me that they let them fight when lando can challenge max for wdc

[crisp mason]

Then after the race said oscar deserved it over him.

[wet sequoia]

Piastri led the entire race

[crisp mason]

And yes he might have bitched but he still listened

[wet sequoia]

And Norris had to ruin it

[crisp mason]

2/3rds

Lando had the better strategy yes

[merry reef]

McLaren ruined Oscar's race at Silverstone not Norris

[crisp mason]

??

How.

[regal needle]

So far, David Crofty commentary for this 2024 was the British Grand Prix

[wet sequoia]

Kept him out on inters to long

[crisp mason]

Lando was p1 at silverstone and they gave him such a strategy that put him in 4th

[grave cosmos]

Leclerc you have one job? Outrun Lando

[crisp mason]

If anyones race at silverstone was ruined it was landos.

[wet sequoia]

Part of that problem was on Norris

[crisp mason]

It woulda been his first home race win

No it was just them giving oscar the better strategy after hungary.

[wet sequoia]

Huh?

[grave cosmos]

Piastri is catching up on Leclerc in the standings

[crisp mason]

Yea.

[wet sequoia]

Now what are you on about

[crisp mason]

They pitted oscar before lando

[wet sequoia]

Is this in Silverstone still?

[crisp mason]

Yes

[wet sequoia]

You’ve been watching the wrong race

[crisp mason]

If lando was pitted when oscar was he would have been atleast on podium in silverstone

No?

Oscar was given the better strategy

[wet sequoia]

Oscar got full on bent over the table and fucked by his pit wall

[crisp mason]

They then also gave lando the wrong tyres for gaining on max

[wet sequoia]

They kept Piastri out in the track on ruined inters when most of the grid had slicks

He was losing about 13-14 seconds per lap

[crisp mason]

And yet oscars pit strategy was better than landos

[wet sequoia]

No it was not

[crisp mason]

So them pitting lando the lap after was better?

[regal needle]

Ted Kravitz call the Double Pit for McLaren and Mercedes is such a Tight Call

[wet sequoia]

Norris finished 3rd in Silverstone

[crisp mason]

He was 4th

What

[wet sequoia]

Piastri could have won if they double stacked the pit

Piastri finished 4th

Your thinking of the wrong race

[crisp mason]

Oh mb yea he was 3rd

[wet sequoia]

You’re in Canada

For the extra lap and it wasn’t entirely on Norris or the pit

They called the safety car a few seconds to late

[crisp mason]

Even so, if lando was pitted 1 lap before he would have held first

Lando has lost many points to shit team calls

[wet sequoia]

Lando also lost a lot of points making mistakes under pressure

[crisp mason]

He also lost points cos of papaya rules

[merry reef]

McLaren gave Lando a worse tyres that ruined his race
Imagine giving you soft tyres when you have about 15 laps to finish the race

[crisp mason]

Like in monza they did not need to do do papaya rules.

[narrow garnet]

china sprint

[wet sequoia]

Didn’t Norris make that decision?

[crisp mason]

In monza?

Why would he?

[wet sequoia]

No in Silverstone

To the softs

[crisp mason]

Oh

I dont remember

I think they said softs to hold off or mediums to gain or other way around idk

[wet sequoia]

Piastri picked mediums and I’m sure Norris picked softs

[merry reef]

Norris picked soft

[crisp mason]

Yea so it was softs to hold off oscar

Or to run away from oscar

[wet sequoia]

To try and win

[merry reef]

He couldn't drive with the soft and that made him lose his position to Max

[wet sequoia]

Not to outrun Piastri

[crisp mason]

Cos their projected pit put them in 3rd when if it was 1 lap earlier he would have been 1st still 😭

[wet sequoia]

Norris picked the tyres

McLaren just held off until they got more tyre data from everyone else

[merry reef]

To catch up to Hamilton I guess 😂

[crisp mason]

Honestly i dont know what the fuck is wrong with mclaren strategists

Did they hire ferrari?

[wet sequoia]

No, it’s more this is the first time in a long time they have a championship contending car

[crisp mason]

I was making a joke

[wet sequoia]

Most of the team will make learning mistakes

[crisp mason]

Theyre pulling a ferrari

[wet sequoia]

The fact they’re snatched first in WCC is no joke

[crisp mason]

Ik

Its like 2022 ferrari, they had the car to win both titles and cooked the year

[wet sequoia]

If anyone is pulling a Ferrari it’s Red Bull

[crisp mason]

Strategically its mclaren

[wet sequoia]

They’ll finish 3rd in WCC at this rate

[crisp mason]

But performance wise yea

[grave cosmos]

Colapinto about to have more aura than Messi

[wet sequoia]

I mean he’s putting out one hell of a resume to drive in F1

[dawn zealot]

He showed up and said he's not getting the Yuki treatment for damn sure

[uncut fiber]

Somewhere it felt like everyone had pace

Red bulls are the same till now

[wet sequoia]

Everyone except Sauber and Alpine

[snow swan]

Who do guys think will win

[dawn zealot]

do do do do

[snow swan]

real

[rotund ice]

Norris winner

[wet sequoia]

Sprint will be Verstappen, GP who knows after Parc Fermi ends

[cobalt wadi]

Jules?

[tacit field]

Leclerc

[paper atlas]

Reckon close between Lando and max

They both looking pretty strong ngl

[dawn zealot]

Max seems annoyed enough to actually clutch. Lando is always his own worst enemy so who knows

[paper atlas]

Nah I reckon max with a 3 secon gap

[dawn zealot]

RB upgrades give me some decent confidence in them

[paper atlas]

This Was this the last upgrade that Newey worked on no?

[dawn zealot]

No idea, but it's coming long enough after they had their "omfg we're making it worse" realization that they should be recovering

[chilly marlin]

Cook

[raw plaza]

It’s nice to see max back on top after so long ngl

Even tho I want a championship fight

[dawn zealot]

DO DO DO DO
fr

[dawn zealot]

Max could place 5th for the rest of the season and Lando still needs a mix of wins and P2s to actually have a shot

[tacit field]

No

[dawn zealot]

It was never really in doubt

[raw plaza]

The thing is based on checo performance idk if the red bull is good or not or it’s just max doing max things

[dawn zealot]

It's 100% Max outdriving the car

They put the thing on the bleeding edge to where he could barely handle it

[paper atlas]

Is there another one coming?

[hearty perch]

When was the qualifying time in USA

[raw plaza]

Yea the points advantage is a lot and all teams are close in performance it’s hard for norris to dominate every race

[paper atlas]

Swear this was the last Newey upgrade

[raw plaza]

1 min 32

[hearty perch]

Ok

[raw plaza]

Newey is not part of development anymore he’s all in rv17

I think

[tacit field]

A gentle reminder leclerc has outscored carlos sainz in the last 12 competitive sessions

[paper atlas]

Na he made 1 more in pretty sure

He said last upgrade he made would be in Austin

[terse rover]

big suprise

everyone already knows leclerc's better than sainz

[tacit field]

But i was told ferrari fired the wrong driver after Australia

[raw plaza]

he’s always been better in quali but imo they both are the closest lineup

[terse rover]

norris and piastri are closer

[raw plaza]

Sainz does very good being the 2nd driver

[tacit field]

Not really gap bw leclerc and sainz is much more in race pace

[paper atlas]

He’ll be better as a #1 Williams driver

Hell get the appreciation he deserves

[paper atlas]

Damn

[tacit field]

Not to mention the fact leclerc struggled in 23 season meanwhile the car suited sainz more

[terse rover]

this is how it is for every number 1 and number 2 in a team

[dawn zealot]

Honestly yeah. He's definitely the 2nd man in Ferrari, but he's gonna be captain of the boat on that team

[terse rover]

you think they want rosberg hamilton situation

[paper atlas]

Alex will learn from him aswell

[terse rover]

bro is going to destroy albon

[dawn zealot]

Alex is gonna have whiplash going from Logan to Sainz in less than a year

[tacit field]

Calling him 2nd driver when ferrari prioritized sainz during 22 season is shameless

[paper atlas]

That’s if he even lived

[terse rover]

?

leclerc was in title battle

[terse rover]

bro

[dawn zealot]

"Give him time to adapt to the car"

Checo vibes

[terse rover]

it literally says it suits carlos less

how are you saying htey were prioritizing sainz

[tacit field]

I think you missed the part where he said develop the car in his direction

[terse rover]

especially when leclerc was in a title battle

[dawn zealot]

Comments and future plans, did that ever actually happen

This isn't me being snide either, this is before my time, I have no idea

[terse rover]

future tense

[grim egret]

what a steep learning curve lesson for james vowels

he gave so many undeserving chances to logan while he racked up the repair bill time and time again. then he signs sainz on a expensive contract while all the time he had colapinto who could have been cheaper and put the team in good money championship finish come end season

now colapinto only has a sauber seat available, and he is aggresivly advertising himself for and he will come on a cheap

[regal needle]

James realize that if Logan keep underperforming, His Tension towards him really gonna need to Dropped him

One Person really cannot forgive this Decision, But we always need to do some Mid-Season Driver Changes

[opaque forge]

I just woke up
What the fuck happened in spring quali

[granite trout]

tbh idfk haas just spawned on top 10 for some reason

[opaque forge]

Did they bring upgrades or sum shit??

[granite trout]

nah mate they are just goated in austin

[opaque forge]

Fuckin hell

Also colapinto p10

We love to see it

ALSO PIASTRI P16???

TF HAPPENED TO HIM?

Also albon 18th but idrc

[granite trout]

eah...

[sonic jetty]

Track limits

[tropic cloud]

The Haasterplan happened

[scenic igloo]

Verstappen on Pole? Thats something we havent had in a minute

[granite trout]

his lap time got invalidated cuz of track limits

[tropic cloud]

McLaren got nothing on my American shitbox 🔥

[scenic igloo]

Aint got nothing on HUUUUUUUUUULKENBERG

[granite trout]

watch hulk throw the position and end up 15th

[scenic igloo]

Watch Norris lose positions first lap

Is that only when hes on pole? Or is that every start?

[terse rover]

he's not great at starts but its always worse on pole

[scenic igloo]

I genuinely thought "TU TU TUTU MAX VERSTAPPEN" when i seen he had pole

[vast lion]

woke up and saw he was on pole

pure happiness

[tropic cloud]

Either coming 5th or 19th no in between

[wooden kettle]

loooool

im ngl sprint quali was atressing me tf out bc vcarb was being vcarb AND NOT SENDING OUT THE CARS AJBDSJ

[vast lion]

does anyone know in how many hours the sprint will start?

[tropic cloud]

haas could easily overtake vcarb today 👀

[wooden kettle]

check pins! it’ll be listed in your local time

me when it’s time to throw hands with haas again 💪🏽😤

[vast lion]

oh alright thankyou!

[tropic cloud]

we will be there 🔥

[wooden kettle]

ngl i do really enjoy the haas vcarb battle

[tropic cloud]

there wasn’t a battle until after Silverstone but not we are slowly but surely catching up

always keep an eye out for where. The 2 VCARBs are on the track

[wooden kettle]

yep me too @ haas

[clever frost]

Damn nice sprint quali

Wish Hulk got a top team tbh

[clever frost]

Need Russell to win fr

[fair roost]

@clever frost We need a Lando win

[clever frost]

Ye

This is why id take sprints over 3 practice sessions tbh, more entertaining

[fair roost]

@clever frost yeah facts more f1 is always the move

[sullen flax]

Magnussen is an idiot

[grim egret]

he should have dropped him last year already,

I somehow agree with will buxton, give young drivers a chance but if they dont hit the ground running dont make your team into a finishing school it will be costly.

[regal needle]

Don't think it's a Right Option

[grim egret]

I cannot find a single reason why williams gave logan a chance this year

they had to pay him out the rest of his contract too.

logan was such a disaster on all aspects of williams,
slow, always damaging, taking home a salary plus the team had to pay him out the rest of his remaining contract

[queen orbit]

prob cuz hes american

and can bring in sponsors

[worn pendant]

Howdy

[opaque forge]

I'm watching the sprint quali now with my sister cause i wanna know everything that happened

[knotty fjord]

Tf

[silent citrus]

who will win today?

[regal needle]

Definitely Max

[silent citrus]

i think norris will win the main race

[grim egret]

the sponsors he will be bringing in is not more than the dmaging he will cause to the team

[queen orbit]

yep

[zinc saffron]

spring quali

[idle light]

hey what do drivers refer to as a ‘scrappy lap’

I am watching the post quali video on YouTube and it’s come up a few times

[kindred cedar]

a lap in which they messed up and couldnt take the most optimal racing line

[opaque forge]

[sudden niche]

What happened to Oscar

Out in SQ1

[cyan saffron]

track limits

[sudden niche]

Why is track limits always an issue

In CotA

Also lemme guess both Astons had time enough for Q3 but both exceeded track limits

[subtle crest]

Special thanks to Kick Sauber for letting me try their secret 2025 car

[cyan saffron]

nope

They were out anyway.

[snow swan]

fr

[opaque forge]

But alonso would have been p11

Or 12 i forgot

[sudden niche]

Ah well

[cyan saffron]

I think for Stroll it even changed nothing on his position.

[sudden niche]

Idk why you need to point that out

But ok

[snow swan]

why not

[cyan saffron]

Well, just to say that it had no influence on his result.

[sudden niche]

And…?

[analog merlin]

you a stroll fan?

[snow swan]

brother he is just saying!

[sudden niche]

I just took a guess since like, SQ was at an ungodly hour

[snow swan]

leave the guy alone bruh

[sudden niche]

I mean, I’m an Aston fan, so by extension

[snow swan]

@sudden niche

a little something i made a while back

[sudden niche]

LOL Stroll crash compilation

I've seen too many

My favorite was when binned in in the rain when he said he could stay out

That was something

[snow swan]

oh yea

my fav is can u make it to the pits

no im in the fucking wall

[sudden niche]

"No I'm in the fucking wall"

Another one is when he was bitching about the car and said "it's like we're in a different category" which

At some point isn't wrong

[cyan saffron]

"Can you bring the car back?"
"No, I'm in the fucking wall."

[snow swan]

what u tryna say

hm?

[cyan saffron]

literally quotes from Jeddah

from him and his race engineer

[snow swan]

yes but we already said this

xDDD

[rose lodge]

Which crybaby complained about the fastest lap 1 point

[snow swan]

real

[rose lodge]

Is it bown ?

[snow swan]

is it what

[rose lodge]

Mclaren i mean

[snow swan]

no

its not

[wet sequoia]

The only driver who had any real complaints was Perez, everyone else was kinda neutral or glad it’s gone

[karmic geyser]

[frozen laurel]

the ricciardo legacy

[snow swan]

2024 season:

mclaren ILLEGAL
red bull ILLEGAL
ferrari SUCKS
mercedes BURNS their drivers’ asses
alpine NO ENGINE
williams NO CHASSIS
vcarb NO RICCIARDO
haas NO SIMULATOR
aston martin SHIT UPGRADES
sauber MATTIA BINOTTO

[tropic cloud]

who needs a simulator amirite

[wet sequoia]

McLaren weren’t illegal, unless you count the fact they’re faster then Red Bull illegal

The mini DRS effect was very much in the gray zone

Well after Haas finish this year they can probably afford a simulator

[crude vigil]

Max

[queen orbit]

vcarb has bigger problems than no ricciardo

[queen orbit]

either bottas or zhou

[tawdry crater]

watching the fuel run times max going get a rought day 😔

[stiff bough]

For a little while now they used Ferrari’s old one

They just never had one of their own

[winged dagger]

zhou was 1s behind everyone else

😭

in quali

[tropic cloud]

zhous saving all his power for the sprint 🥶

[winged dagger]

haas cooking in their home race tho. wished nico stayed. he’d be a good mentor to ollie

[tropic cloud]

no points so far we’ve not cooked yet, need to stay humble and aim to keep our positions in this sprint

also wish Nico would stay but I rate Ocon (as a driver not as a teammate)

[winged dagger]

Ocon had underrated seasons ye

2021 and 2022 weren’t bad I don’t think

[tropic cloud]

I feel rlly bad for drivers like Ocon and Stroll they aren’t that bad but get so much hate

same with Kmag tbf

[crude vigil]

[winged dagger]

Kmag is good

Canada

Did the funny in wets

[tropic cloud]

Kmag is my goat

[forest dirge]

i think Max will be very cautious at the start i expect russell leading

[mental frigate]

That's a quite fair response tbh. I would say the same thing in the heat of the moment lol, but lance is still a totally entitled idiot

[winged dagger]

Then Max will catch up bc I thjnk the RB is still faster. Secondly it’s just Max

[crude vigil]

Nah he should have brought it back smh

He shouldn’t even be in the wall what is he a rookie 💀

[stiff bough]

Because Max is known for cautious race starts

[vocal furnace]

!sessions

[iron ember]

I understand the stroll hate but occon I'm chill with

[grave cosmos]

??

[tropic cloud]

I get why ppl don’t like him but he’s nowhere near as bad as people make him out to be

[snow swan]

I think stroll's overhated ngl

[open ferry]

If stroll stopped racing after winning F3 then people would he imagining how big his potential would have been and that his talent was wasted

[snow swan]

3 podiums, 1 pole position is decently impressive given he's only really had great cars in 2020 and 2023

[open ferry]

Everyone in F1 is over hated tbh

I don't think any driver isn't

[snow swan]

most drivers would've done better than him with his career, but still

this year apart from china I've been pretty impressed with how well he's keeping up with alonso

[open ferry]

He's out qualified alonso yesterday right?

By 1 position

[snow swan]

yes, but I think alonso had his lap deleted for track limits

[open ferry]

Yes I remember

He went a good bit over the line

Piastri goes over the line by like 5cm and suddenly people in this server claim he's washed and a bad driver

I swear the internet F1 fans are so bad

[narrow musk]

fr

[past galleon]

Its a sprint week correct?

[upbeat jacinth]

Yeeess

[reef ether]

old sprint format was better.. Aye!?

sprint results was quali for the GP

[toxic horizon]

I think the first sprint format was the best imo

[raw plaza]

if red bull finish 3rd in constructors and max wins wdc checo gonna get even more slander 💀

poor checo

bro was very good in midfield cars but could not perform at the top consistent

[opaque forge]

Me and my sister are rewatching jeddah 2021

[raw plaza]

oh man max unfinished perfect lap

[opaque forge]

Fr, probably would have been the current quali record

[lilac nova]

F1 is back

[meager ridge]

cause max is on the top? 😭

[lilac nova]

Mid Perez is back

[reef ether]

step sister??

[neat fern]

Good mornin guys

[lilac nova]

[dim hawk]

what time is the sprint? EST

[snow swan]

In 4 hours 15 min so 2 PM for us

[dim hawk]

eeeek

thank you!

[snow swan]

No problem friend!

[grim egret]

I hope its clear why lando wont win WDC

[honest solstice]

How long till sprint?

[grim egret]

3 hours

[bitter carbon]

Happy Hulkenberg sprint podium day everyone!

[timber ledge]

4 i think

[snow swan]

4

[grim egret]

oh yeah 4 hours exactly

the 3 is the pre sprint show

[snow swan]

Huh? Did I asleep very much?

Sadly during the family nap time...

Wait no its 4pm at Eu phew...

[cunning flame]

It’s 9:00am here in Texas

[snow swan]

My boss is at the race all weekend

Grandstand Turn 15

):

Lucky

[cunning flame]

My parents tried to get tickets for race day

[snow swan]

They're gonna bring me back marbles again from the track!

[cunning flame]

👍

[snow swan]

I want marbles from every track NGL

Put them in lil display cases.

[cunning flame]

What tracks do you have rn?

[snow swan]

COTA and Miami bc I'm stateside.

I wanted to go to Vegas to try but not for those ridiculous prices.

[cunning flame]

I’ve been begging my parents to get tickets for race day but but the price for 4 is absolutely insane

[snow swan]

Miami was relatively cheap when I went

But I didn't pay $600 for shade

[cunning flame]

Lucky

):

[snow swan]

Aw man sting performed last night at the GP

My boss is so lucky like what

[grim egret]

imagine how far HAAS would be if gunther steiner was gone earlier

the man was useless

[lost forge]

Yea but he was funny

[grim egret]

on DTS yes but not in real life and on trackside

[grim egret]

checo will never be uselfull to RBR

[dim hawk]

useful for sponsorship money

that’s it

[grim egret]

they gonna need more than dat

[dim hawk]

💯

i need pierre gasly to just do something insane this race

please

[tired crow]

I wouldn't say that. He helped build that team to what it became

[grim egret]

then he was building backwards, to be honest if it wasnt for DTS he would have been gone ages ago

[tired crow]

Not disagreeing he should've been gone sooner but he did help establish the team in the early days. Even he would agree he should've been gone sooner

[oblique elk]

"seniatle"

[oblique elk]

it didnt become anything with steiner

its only got better after ferrari built better suspension and komatsu took over

[raven wagon]

Tbf Haas were decent off the bat in 2016, then became good in 2018 and fought Renault for P4 in the constructors

Scored their all time best haul of 93 points, got their best race finish too

2019 was the start of the Haas decline

Tho they did bounce back temporarily in early 2022

[snow swan]

Why did Liam Lawson receive so many grid penalties again?

[queen orbit]

new powerunit

[oblique elk]

replaced his whole engine

[whole hamlet]

when does the sprint happen?

nvm

[snow swan]

What's with the Red bull cheating accused by FIA

[snow swan]

In 3 hours roughly

[pseudo quail]

They have an easier/quicker way to change ride height or something similar. The Fia was concerned they were more likely to do that between quali and a race while doing the usual front wing adjustments everyone does

[subtle crest]

I feel like F1 should go back to the times when four stroke was the only regulation

[whole hamlet]

is there any way i can watch it without espn and f1 tv

[ivory ginkgo]

Its their last 6th

[wooden kettle]

bdndjdjdbs i’m skipping sprint and quali today bc i overdid it hikingn everywhere yesterday

my everything is soooore

[azure condor]

Please take care of yourself Cos, I hope you feel better soon 🙏

[wooden kettle]

yeah i’m probably just gonna watch f1tv today and rest

[whole hamlet]

hope u feel better

[wooden kettle]

i got a good breakfast with lotsa protein and carbs and i have like 3 waterbottles cuz i lost so much hydration yesterday

it’s HOT trackside
and then theres like. asphault grains and stuff flying everywhere. theyre really tiny but when i blew my nose later it was NASTY.

like you can barely tell, you just feel the wind

i’ll just wake up at 6 AM tomorrow morning and run up the hill to turn 1 lol

[azure condor]

Oof, that doesn’t sound good at all

Are you seeing the race live? :D

[wooden kettle]

yep! I’ll go and watch the race live

but i think today I’ll just rest, do some light walking around austin, and catch everything on f1tv

[azure condor]

That’s awesome, hope you have a great time!

[wooden kettle]

It’s unbelievably hot trackside (as someone who’s just come from chicago where it’s cold atm)

[azure condor]

Good plan, good plan

[old widget]

Anyone else at COTA?

[azure condor]

How hot is it there, if I may ask? I don’t live in America and have never been so I have no clue

[wooden kettle]

https://discord.com/channels/142082511902605313/1297086014690693160 here’s some of my photography from yesterday

22c today, was 27 yesterday

[azure condor]

Oh goodness

[wooden kettle]

80-87

[dim dock]

driving there, just made it to texas 😭

[wooden kettle]

(in freedoms)

[old widget]

Max 29 today

[azure condor]

Hope it cools down soon

[old widget]

I’m not free

[wooden kettle]

doesnt look like it for the rest of the week lol

[wooden kettle]

😭

[old widget]

It was 34 few days ago

[wooden kettle]

YEAH I SAW

[azure condor]

Oh that’s pretty high for autumn wth

[wooden kettle]

kdbdslfjekdbd awful.

[azure condor]

Temperature’s going crazy these days

[wooden kettle]

it’s desert and swamplands around here so it’s very Icky in terms of heat.

[old widget]

@wooden kettle you seem pretty lucky, GA spots look very good in Austin

In Montreal GA is terrible

[wooden kettle]

I KNOW omg

Yeah turn 5/6 is so good for photography

and then i was out between 1-2

and you can see the cars so close

[old widget]

I regret not bringing my big camera but it sucks to carry

[wooden kettle]

and then turn 1 is good but you have to sprint up the hill for a spot fr

[wooden kettle]

legit that’s what killed me yesterday.
big camera and my water bottles

[old widget]

Yeah the t1 GA looks like a nice party

[dim dock]

i packed 90% tank tops for texas 😬 too hot

[crisp violet]

Tyre degradation….

[old widget]

What gear do you have

[wooden kettle]

good idea im ngl

[wooden kettle]

honestly just a simple eos80d and a simply telephoto lens

but i was a dumbass and decided to bring other lenses that frankly did not look as good

[old widget]

Oh yeah just need the tele

[wooden kettle]

I’m just doing 55-250mm iirc

[old widget]

I have D850 (FF) and a 70-200

And still need to crop from grandstands

[wooden kettle]

oh yeah big tim

time*

[old widget]

You have bigger reach with micro 4/3

[wooden kettle]

actually t1-2 is great because you’re so close to the cars

[old widget]

Yeah

[wooden kettle]

*GA

i think next time I come back, I’ll probably get GA again lol

[old widget]

Turn 16ish GA looks nice too

[wooden kettle]

yeah i passed through there on the way to 6 (before i knew about the trams)

[old widget]

Back shot leaving the fast right handed, lots of passing

Fence is pretty low you can get it without fence

[wooden kettle]

noted.

[old widget]

There’s a few spots with holes in the fence tiny bit higher not sure if they’re good shots

[wooden kettle]

i might still show up today idk, but just for quali

[old widget]

But moving during sprint race weekend has to suck, I think you’d enjoy a regular weekend, shooting the 3 FP is really nice

[wooden kettle]

Yeah, way too many variables in a sprint weekend

[old widget]

Like you don’t want to spend 15 minutes relocating as cars are on track (for 1hr)

If I come back next year I take 3 different grandstand for each day

[wooden kettle]

that sounds smart tbh

ngl i was hella jealous of grandstand holders because yall got shade

for most of yesterday morning it was HOT

and sunny

[old widget]

Turn 15 is nice but not a lot happening (no passing besides end of DRS)

[wooden kettle]

yeah the view seemed good from 15

[old widget]

No shade here, I think only pitlane

[wooden kettle]

i heard good things about 19 as well

[wooden kettle]

ah. yeah. those guys had a prime spot.

[old widget]

That’s my view

[wooden kettle]

OH NICE

which area is this?

[old widget]

T15

[wooden kettle]

yeah that’s awesome

[old widget]

You can also see in the far the turn before the esses

How do you call those turns

Ssss

[wooden kettle]

lol

[old widget]

Hate driving them in the sim

[wooden kettle]

yeah i think from 5, you can see 15 in the distance

but from my end on the hill it was mostly blocked off from fencing

[spare heart]

does norris have the pace to make it back to the podium?

bc yesterday they were lacking like crazy

[wet sequoia]

Sprint no

[still forge]

Depends if one of the other teams just is not good on the mediums, i guess (Assuming they use mediums)

If nothing happens in T1, i don't think the order will change

[spare heart]

ig charles will be able to hold onto his p3 then

[wet sequoia]

After parc ferme when they have the cars back they should have enough data to improve

[wooden kettle]

lol

[tropic cloud]

crave haas points to couple up with the burnley win for a perfect saturday 🙏🙏

[old widget]

Sprint points are top 8 yeah?

[tropic cloud]

yh

[old widget]

Haas double points

[tropic cloud]

haas 1-2 mate

[wooden kettle]

hea

yeah**

[old widget]

Perez trying his best

[wooden kettle]

dude perez

[old widget]

If only he had a car capable of pole

[tropic cloud]

Perez pole is anyone else’s Q3 atp

[wooden kettle]

honestly what pissed me off yesterday is VCARB being VCARB and sending lawson and yuki out way too late

as a vcarb megafan i HATE vcarb strategists

[old widget]

Vcarb strategies have been wild last 6 races

[wooden kettle]

tell me about it.

oh my god

[old widget]

Pitting for soft lap 6 and not passing anyone

[wooden kettle]

if you read their twitter comments people are so heated about them always

[old widget]

Both Yuki and DR have been getting shafted by wild tire choices or trying really aggressive strats that don’t pay off

I wonder if they’re not gathering the same data as other teams in FP, or just desperate and trying to do opposite of teams around them

[idle light]

do you think there'll finally be a safety car this weekend?

or the streak continues

[old widget]

I’m expecting one

Or lap one 3 wide shenanigans

T1 or at Esses

[analog merlin]

before the strom 💯

[idle light]

ooh can't wait

[wooden kettle]

that’s honestly why i’ve been so pissed about them dropping DR
because the strategists keep fucking around with both his and yuki’s races and then say he’s not doing good enough
ARGH

and thats the end of me ranting about danny ricc lol

[old widget]

They did have same fuckups and Yuki grabbing 3x the points while DR making 7x his salary

I don’t feel 100% bad, second year he gets outscored (don’t know how to account his injury)

He should be performing as the top driver not beaten by rookie

Kind of agree with JV’s take

[wooden kettle]

thats fair

im biased lol

[old widget]

Teammate is the benchmark, beat your teammate

I think he was decent with Renault

[tame yacht]

Can someone explain a sprint race

I don't fully understand

Started watching f1 this year

[primal frigate]

Cars go vroom normally, now they do vroooooom

[tame yacht]

is it just another free practice?

[wooden kettle]

shorter version of a race, only up to 8th place gets points

[tame yacht]

oh ok

[old widget]

Shorter race

Normal weekend is
FP1 FP2 FP3 Q Race

Sprint weekend is
FP1 SQ Sprint Q Race

[wooden kettle]

yeah it saps up a lot of practice and data gathering time

[old widget]

FP2 and 3 are replaced by the sprint and its qualif

[cyan saffron]

It's a shortened race with 1/3 of the GP distance, no pitstop, only top 8 points, from 8 for 1st to 1 for 8th, no fastest lap point.

[tame yacht]

NO PITSTOP?!

what if a puncture

or lance stroll being him

[cyan saffron]

no mandatory pit stop

[tame yacht]

ohh

[cyan saffron]

You can if you want.

But you don't need to.

[tame yacht]

is there still the safety car and time penalites allat

[cyan saffron]

yes

[tame yacht]

ok

[wooden kettle]

i think it’s not a good idea to pit if you can help it no? because that takes out from your tire allo for the weekend yeah?

[old widget]

Yeah, makes it a lot more raw, teams have to quickly come up with data, and it’s parc ferme so can’t use qualif for sprint setup changes

[dusk onyx]

its just like a normal race but shorter and less points

[cyan saffron]

yeah

[tame yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/f1-gif-8687200129990498193

[old widget]

We still have the normal race after

[wooden kettle]

yep

[old widget]

(Precising cause some people think it’s just sprint)

[tame yacht]

also is it true swearing is now fully bammed

[wooden kettle]

sounds like bullshit to me

[old widget]

Only for Max and Yuki

[wooden kettle]

loooooool

[old widget]

The rest are allowed

[tame yacht]

no fair

[dusk onyx]

yep

[tame yacht]

i like colapinto hes good

[wooden kettle]

yeah they muted max’s radio last time out no?

[old widget]

Yeah he’s doing well

[late nest]

getting servermuted in f1 is crazy

[wooden kettle]

i do too. cola is cool

[old widget]

I don’t know why they do live radio.. if you don’t like what they say don’t broadcast on live tv

[wooden kettle]

or muted* most of his radio

i think if they cut radio on the onboards i’d riot

[leaden oasis]

When is the sprint gp starting?

[wooden kettle]

but it’s crazy to get in trouble for swearing when they choose to broadcast that stuff

[wooden kettle]

bout an hour i think

[tame yacht]

in 52 mins

[leaden oasis]

Thanks

[wooden kettle]

you can also always check the pinned messages, they’ll show up in your local time

[leaden oasis]

Wait really?

[wooden kettle]

yep

[leaden oasis]

Woahhhh

[wooden kettle]

the message from carlbot sainz updates according to your discord’s local time

[leaden oasis]

That's so cool

[old widget]

Let people listen to raw if they wish, take it away from main broadcast

[terse rover]

wait what

which race

[humble sequoia]

what time is quali at?

[terse rover]

check pins

[humble sequoia]

oh, it’s in pins?
