yea
And time penalties that aren’t served correctly
unsafe release should definitely be a team penalty
not driver
because if the team is penalised instead of driver it will probably stop unsafe releases or atleast reduce them as the team will be more vigilant because they don’t want to lose money
but the driver getting a time penalty can also cost the team money
time penalties not being served correctly could be driver error but also stop go penalties are kind of rare, i don’t see them ever
thats not just for stop go penalties, its for all penalties served in the pits
do the teams get fined if the driver gets a penalty?
ricciardo got one earlier this year
honestly they should just stop allowing penalties to be served in the pits
maybe instead, when a driver has a penalty they only allow 4 on the wheels
so 1 for each wheel yk
would have the same effect as serving a penalty does now
just less risk of being penalised for not serving it correctly
what race? i might have missed it
Monza
5 second penalty, some guy touched the car when he came into the box and so he got another 10 seconds
see if that’s how it happens the driver does not need that
team error should = team penalty not driver penalty
any time the team is at fault they get a fine of some sorts
or maybe less wind tunnel time
so it fucks them over for the next year if they do it multiple times
counterpoint: the teams would rather take the financial penalty over the sporting penalty because the potential gains from doing an unsafe release (points) could mean multiple millions at the end of the year in prize money
but I don't really see a point in changing what works now, F1 is a team sport and when a team fucks up, the team (which includes the driver) gets punished with a time penalty or whatever they were given
i do agree but when you punish the driver it, especially when they’re fighting for drivers championship points it’s worse for them, mclaren are going to win wcc so penalising the driver for the teams fuck up is just cruel if the teams already a favourite for the title
well i did also say “or less wind tunnel time” meaning they get screwed
I don't see why you would be giving major sporting penalties for things as silly as unsafe releases
wtf I just realsed there's 23 bots for the 23 racers
Me furthermore
@carmine tangle
I cant seem to figure out if what max did was planned or purely just him being frustrated
Oh shoot I didn’t even notice
Damn that was a sweet one
frustrated just like back in the days
i guess
No but it mightve saved him a lot of points
Norris probably wouldve gotten up to p1
And max would be p4 if not lower
Him holding up norris by pushing him off track couldve cost him a p1
yeah thats a good vision. I guess thats why also the big 20 sec penalty
Right place right time right person really. Max wasn’t gonna miss the opportunity to defend his wdc even if it meant being penalized
why is the mexican gp such a big deal? like everyone showing up with painted faces or dressed up or something and the special mexican f1 theme
first international race, since somewhere beginning '60's
and cause its a good vibe I guess? loved that mexcian mariachi theme haha
oh cool okay
🥐 chain starting now
👇
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
it’s over
fia is a joke
gotta admit this is funny as shit
lol

we’re fucked
our boy is gonna have to pick up rubbish with max
eh
That's their culture
The gap between Norris and Sainz hadn't really gone down til like the last 15 laps
Who decided this is the hill for the FIA to die on
FOM doesn't give a shit
Mexicans are passionate fans for their sports. Reminds me of the Japanese a lil bit. The costumes and such anyways
Hi
They are passionate people with a rich culture. Especially around this time.
fia trying not to get offended when someone swears challenge(impossible)
they put more investigation into swearing than actual track incidents
formula one is over
If max gets community service and Charles just gets a warning this will be the most corrupt FIA decision ever made
No we still have four races
I’m a big supporter in freedom of speech and the fact that they’re trying to control the way people speak is disgusting.
seriously it shouldn’t be consequence worthy at all but if they’re gonna do this they gotta go full out or it’s just gonna be another example of them being inconsistent and stupid
this entire thing is just stupid bro
i was just saying that cuz the sport has come to banning swearing and taking out fastest lap points and inconsistent decisions not like literally
Haha yeah. The swearing part cracks me up
This is why I don’t watch interviews anymore. At least not official ones. FIA is more crazy about what people say than the mods in here.
hi
Greetings
About that
the fastest lap point being gone is a good thing imo. It rarely added anything of value
Should instead give a point for pole
points for quali is actually a good idea
forgot that that's a thing in some series
Don't they give 2 points in f2 for pole in feature races?
agree
actually idk i kinda like fl points but i understand why they’d get rid of them
the 2016 championship actually changes with 1 vs 2 points for pole
meanwhile the 2024 gap actually increases with points for pole ☠️
i disagree tbh pole in itself should already be assure points the maximum at that, fastest lap point acknowledges drivers climbing and putting the extreme effort into their race and particularly was an opportunity for the midfield cars to also showcase that they're trying
But most of the time that isn't the case. Whoever has a free stop is able to get the fastest lap point, look at last race with Leclerc. Ideally the fastest lap should go to the actual fastest driver in the race, not just the guy who pitted on the penultimate lap for softs just to nab an extra point for the constructors
It's just a free point for anyone in the top 10 lucky/fortunate enough to have a 20s+ gap behind them
hold up this might actually be fire
At least with the pole point, you're actually rewarding someone for being the fastest man on track
true true
stops people like RB stealing the fastest lap point then
they are NEVER getting pole
😞
F2 does points for qualifying, I don’t understand why F1 doesn’t
I feel like it’d make more sense for points for qualifying rather than fastest lap if they really wanna move that. In qualifying EVERYONE is going all out where as, as other have stated, often times the fastest lap goes to someone who just happened to have a “free pit stop”
At least in qualifying it shows who truly is the fastest around a single lap due to the fact, as I said, everyone is going all out
guys, double mexico race!
Hear me out, 1 point for fastest pit stop 👀
then we’ll have teams doing a gazillion pitstops if they’re out of the points
same
yeah I like the FL point but at the same time it's indeed pretty meaningless for the reasons stated by others
Lewis Lost the title by 3 points in 2016 ?
no he would've won by 3 points if pole gave 2 points
Just Ferrari being Ferrari
true
2024 ferrari>>>>>>>>>>> 2022 ferrari
hope in my ferrari
and box now box for hards
STAY OUT STAY OUT STAY OUT
Charles: I had a nightmare once.
Person Interviewing Him and Pierre: And you screamed?
Charles: Box box
Ferrari drivers went through it all
team we are fast
how???
we simply put dry tires in dry conditions and executed reasonable pit stops
team we are fast
BOX BOX BOX BOX FOR INTERS
box for hypersofts
Crazy how that works huh 
name a ferrari driver w/o ferrari strategy ptsd
there are none 😭
look after your tires
Kimi, he prob didnt care
i need to find the vid again of charles getting therapy for ricciardo
and then charles' card declines so ricciardo starts going through ferrari strategy (it's an edit)
Ok i need this video now that you said that
maybe the steering wheel incident
i need ot find it again
😭
he rly said take backs
they used to give 4 points
Honestly still can't believe checo had a drive
lol
Although Piastri got p8 he put up an impressive performance with the overtakes
he was p17 on the grid
Bro I saw a clip from max's stream and he had the WDC trophy on his desk, how cool is that 😭
Bro's just flexing on his stream
Meh, I don't think he was particularly quick
Max on the other hand, in the weaker car dropped practically down to last, just a few seconds of Perez and then ended up P6 and ahead of Piastri
why were people hating on robert schwartzman
i remember i saw a comment about robert and blaming oliver in fp1
conghratlautions carlos
wasn’t last in all fairness that was only due to the pit stop
that's why I said practically down in last
Because he didn't completely see the Bearman Albon contact, and had reported that Bearman did something to Albon
its just an overreaction from the fans
he did say "i think" though
like from his pov i understand why he thought bearman caused it but he also didn't see the entire thing
mechigo
What happened to charles car here?
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/X4sM7WUrYk7u7w7r/
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
he lost traction
Yea some fans are just narrow minded
lol
where can i watch the race as a full?
no i mean the full grand prix replay
On what platforms is it available on?
stuff like that

Welp, any day now
riperez
what will red bull do without perez's sponsor
sack perez and hire someone else for better results
temporary bring daniel back until the end of the szn and then lawson for 2025
but they just sacked daniel for being ass
i’d actuallt be kinda pissed if they brough back dan
I did hear Erik ten Hag get sack due to Poor Performance recently
Reminds me when Nyck de Vries get sack out after 2023 British Grand Prix
Guenther Steiner: If it would be my Decision, I would sack them Both
i dont think that can save man utd anyway
Guess the Club has no Choice
so max getting 2x 10sec penalty actually proves that they got he penalty for lando in austin wrong
daniel is done with motorsports, deleted everything about motorsports from his social media
he lost his will to drive ages ago
I’d reckon he still has a chance at Supercars
at 35
he had came and went
David Russell is still driving at 42
one of the lucky few
Craig Lowndes ain’t young either
he still the passion
Daniel doesnt
Jamie Whincup is getting there
He still has a shot at it tho
I think he will gravitate towards TV
or presenting like gunther
but on track he is finished
well we are all here for motorsports
not to follow people doing their hobbies
well me that is
I dont know about others
Don’t think selling boats is a hobby
its not motorsports related which i am trying to say
Yeah that doesn’t matter tho, simply stating what could be
alrighty
Garth Tander too while we’re at it

maybe a commentator role like nico or jenson
he’ll do the funny
yes
huh
When does this become the brazil-gp channel?
Sometime later today
I’ve learned I will be able to watch the 8 hours of Bahrain, sleep (Alot) watch the first 2 games of LoL Worlds then ditch it (If T1 is 2-0) for Brazil
it has become brazil now
epic timing
brazil real
Perfect 😂
Top 10 qualy prediction:
- Max 2. Piastri 3. Leclerc 4. Norris 5. Russell 6. Sainz 7. Hamilton 8. Hulkenberg 9. Alonso 10. Albon
Checo knocked out in q2 👍
As a checo fan this made me chuckle lol nice
prost will win trust
how long is the break after brazil?
i think 2 weeks?
oohh okayy
dont quote me on that 🤣
3 weeks
alpine are the new HAAS
2 weekends without a race
Same 3 weeks and 3rd weekend is race weekend
what
its 2 weeks
1 weekend
2 weekend
race week!
That's three weeks
If Perez keeps his seat till the end of he season it’ll be a miracle
Leave the f1 before the f1 leaves you
I'm still convinced he's getting left behind in Mexico
Lawson's taking the big seat. For VCARB, well, welcome back Danny!
Imagine if that was the plan all along, Danny's been sipping drinks on a Brazilian beach just waiting
Lmao I don’t think we as a community would handle this news
I mean i would love a ricciardo comeback
What does max need to win wdc
to finish above lando or just behind him
Can Max win the WDC in Brazil?
Brazil gp let’s go!!!
If Lando gets P1 in every race, plus all 4 FL points, and Max gets P3 in every race (including sprints), Lando will win WDC by 1 point
Max P5 in every race and Lando P2 plus 2 FL points (more realistic I think), Max wins by 7
It's...actually closer than I expected, modeling it out
Nah Max is gonna win it
In this scenario, if Charles gets P1 in every race plus the other two FL points, he loses to Max by 1 point
Yeah unfortunately there’s just not enough races left for anyone to realistically win. That said I think lando has at least another win in him before the end of the season
Lando and charles have had great performances but max is too consistent still
I would still put money on Max winning, but as much as it annoys me to say, I think there's still a big chance of an upset. Specifically due to how the RB has fallen off. Max is fighting tooth and nail, driving the 4th fastest car against the #1.
If RB can come back a little or the McLaren hits any kind of hiccup, I think that'll seal it
Yeah I guess never say never
Actually the more I think about it, the Ferraris are going to be the deciding factor
The impact to their gap based on Lando coming 1st, 2nd, or 3rd changes significantly even if Max is the same number of positions behind
Max just did what norris couldn't, maximise his result every race
RB 4th fastest? damn
Yeah pretty much. I love norris too but he’s just not quite up to max’s level yet and that’s fine
He’s already proved he’s a great driver to me
4th fastest car is the Mercedes atm
So I never expected him to be able to win the wdc this year. And heck I mean the fact that McLaren is fighting for wcc is more than I expected considering it’s only Oscar’s second season
I think the factor here is more the car. People like to say the McLaren is extremely fast, but I feel like the Ferraris are currently slightly ahead
The McLaren didn't ever have the consistent edge over the rest of the grid that the early season RB did
Max is not driving the fourth fastest car
Third fastest
Having one race with a practice engine does not make it fourth fastest, its still obviously third
The unchanging gap between Max and the Mercedes fight last race begs to differ
He had penalties and was struggling with the hard tyres
That doesn't mean overall it is slower than the Mercedes
and he was using the worlds worst engine which he is replacing this week
Thing is you literally can never know with the Ferraris. It's a coin flip whether or not that car is going to do anything.
Fair enough. We'll see some more this week, but I don't think the RB has any real edge over Mercedes right now
Vasseur seems to be taking them in the right direction. This is the most consistently they've performed well in years
That is true
yeah though in the summer they were basically back to where they were in 23
The only worrying thing for them is that they seem to need to nail the car in order to win- they're not like RB where they usually produce a decent strat
yep
They seem to be improving in that respect, besides holding Leclerc back in order to help Sainz
their car while good does seem pretty finicky in terms of getting it to perform as it should
yeah that was dumb
im in the thick of it
They did not though
They kept telling him over the radio to hold back
Brake temps
Hmm yes 'brake temps' when Carlos's car was fine
Well, Charles had the less cooling package, plus Carlos was in clean air so it's normal for Carlos' car to be fine
Reminder that if Charles was pushing more, he may have actually ended up in the wall
Plus, from what i saw, Sainz did not need any help in the race, no one was near him since he overtook Max
It was just a sub-par weekend for Charles, that's all
Man i still think it's a bad idea
Don't get me wrong, Lewis is Lewis but why ruin a perfect driver dynamic (for money, but yeah, you get me)
I'm very interested to see how lewis performs in ferrari
As a Ferrari fan I am biased but I agree
😔
I love them together and don’t want it to end especially when none of the drivers asked for it
IMO big mistake here. Sainz and Leclerc would be ruthless in a great car
No guarantee Hamilton will be successful. It’s even probable he won’t be
Hope Sainz going to Williams allows them to rebuild quicker
I don't think it's a big mistake
its a decent longer-ish term duo too
The one actual benefit I see out of the whole swap
Also Sainz get an opportunity to be the #1, since he's kind of in Leclerc's shadow right now
Now that I think about it Sainz was never a #1 driver
In any team
Maybe Toro Rosso
man there are ppl who hate maxs driving but call Schumacher and senna the greatest
those ppl don’t know anything abt f1 💀💀💀
Yeah, Schumi and Senna were the same.
I mean, very different eras tbh
The old customs of f1 meant that if your opponent could win in the last race you took them out
Doesn’t matter max Schumacher senna we’re all aggressive drivers
but like ppl who say senna and Schumacher driving are the best and call maxs driving the worst just don’t know anything
I’ve seen online all those hypocrites 😭😭💀💀
Oh well
maxs job is just to make sure lando doesn’t win
Same here. He's a top midfield driver at best. Then he overvalued himself thinking that'd be enough when even from day 1 of looking for a new drive, no top teams wanted him that much
Maybe it was sarcasm
exactly
💀how are u and I supposed to know that even what i say can be sarcastic
Well.. max is also aggressive
I said maybe.
The tone mostly
I said max in that sentence
Ohh I'm blind
How am I supposed to get the tone from an online text
By reading it 😭
u cant love schumacher if u hate max
Maybe u have some gift I don’t
Sainz might have gotten the Haas drive over Ocon had he not been stupid enough to reject them, especially considering Haas looks like a genuine midfield contender
Nah maybe I'm just chronically online g
imo checo is a good driver it’s just red bull isn’t just working for him he used to perform so good at racing india
I fucking despise Schumi
There've been a few super aggressive drivers. Quote from Toto here:
He has the ambition to always win, if possible, and brings with it the necessary aggressiveness. That takes a lot of courage. That it sometimes leads to collisions is part of his way of driving a F1 car. And with that he became a 4-time world champion and you have to recognize that."
He's talking about Vettel, but could just as easily be Max
He's a legend but the dirty driving is insane
Ragebait
Both of them hated at their domination era but later loved 💀💀💀
Hard to feel sympathy when he could have gotten a better drive by accepting from DAY 1 of looking for a new team that he was going back to the midfield.
Not exactly a unique story, not even unique to F1
Leclerc still has a chance!
Max aggression is helping Charles and Ferrari
Sorry, when was he even in the fight?
Max is fan of ferrari always
I mean mathematically he was
Yep, and Ferrari I think are going to be the biggest decider for whether it's Lando or Max that wins, so Max is more than happy to let them lead
Everybody's a ferrari fan, even if they say they're not they are ferrari fans
Next year
Explains why I didn't understand, math is my biggest op
Imagine McLaren end up losing both of the championship while having the fastest car in the better half of the season will be the biggest bottle
That is....absolutely, entirely possible XD
I would like to see that happen ngl, turkey all over again
Also since Oscar apparently forgot how to drive
Ferrari gets another 1-2 and a fastest lap and they might well be leading if McLaren are again weak
Er
Just like me fr
120 points available so if top 4 don’t score any points and sainz wins all he can’t win wdc
Max just needs to do his job make sure lando doesn’t win
Bro no point in explaining shit, I don't understand math
Yes.
What I didn’t even make it complicated
I just don't get math lil bro
Nah, but moves like at Mexico and Austin cost Lando a lot of time and energy fighting instead of working his way to the lead
The only math you need to know is that Charles still has a legitimate chance
💀💀
Poor max
U made a table
The fastest lap that says 0 hurt me
I got tired of doing the math XD
WHY EVEN DO MATH
Max should win 4th wdc and retire “we ball”
So we know who wins in different scenarios
Like rosberg?
It's fun to see the possibilities
Yea
Thank you for doing gods work btw, I would never. Not even over my dead body
Roles!
or max should just take a 2 year break and come back
Bruh why?
.getroles
Follow the image below to the left sidebar of Discord to open the roles page and choose which apply to you.
Alternatively, you can follow this link to the correct role channel: id:customize
This is literally his prime
any team would want him back doesn’t matter if they had disagreements max will always bring results
I want to see albon against sainz
So you want max out of the grid? 😭
Was albon justified because he had 2 bad teammates or is he actually goood
Nah im just saying in 26 he can take a break and look at the fastest teams and he can just join them
Nah red bull would finish with Haas without max
I think Albon is a decent driver who had teammates that made him look very good
He's not bad by any means
Ngl James said the main goal is 26 so if Williams actually bring back to fighting for top position sainz move is justified
Yes but i think albon deserves better then willams
Multi year contracts and fluctuations exist
<@&781898349006684170> can I be muted for like 5ish hours because I have to study for my test which is in like 4 hours
apparently there is a clause that sainz can get into merc if any teammate underperforms so if George doesn’t perform and his contract ends at 25 sainz
????
Learn self control bruh 😭😭🙏
Shush
Hopefully it isn’t maths
Improvise, adapt, overcome.
Even if it's yourself that you're overcoming XD
I dropped it last year
Wait what
Lol
Just speculation nothing confirmed
Veni vidi vici
.mute 865595211107270686 4h good luck with your test, open a ticket if you want to get unmuted earlier

Upgraded
I had to go back and change the time cause they asked for 5
Just in case 😭🙏
so retyped it
Oh, I haven't seen the edited message.
after brazil theres another long wait
HERE IS BRASIL
Is jack plooij reliable? He said red bull offered 20m for colapinto
If it sounds unrealistic…
never trust someone with the last name Plooij
Lol
pufferfish
Who do you guys think will win the Brazil weekend?
Perez already got an contract tho
Don’t he?
Someone said he got an contract for 2025 already
I’ve heard rumors about russel going to redbull for 2026
He does
Based on rumors that contract has a performance clause in it
But who knows, honestly
Mhm
Realistically I'm not sure why you'd put that in his, with the history he's had it's very evident the performance RB is getting
rain forecast for brazil
Ferrari dominance had to go to sh*t after all
Nooo it’s gonna rain?
It’s been a while since a rain weekend
Well that should be interesting
I literally had a dream about 15 mins sgo that Perez got dropped after mexico gp
is this a sign
Lmfao
Well they better hurry and make that announcement soon because they only have 2 days left till Brazil free practice

yay
The guy who was dating a 14 year old?
Eles chegaram! Uma frota enorme de caminhões com equipamentos e carros de corrida para o GP acabaram de passar pela Marginal Pinheiros
A 21ª etapa da temporada ocorre no Autódromo de Interlagos, em São Paulo, entre os dias 1º e 3 de novembro
#gp #gpbrasil #gpbrasilf1 #formula1 #autódromo
23424
The F1 trucks arriving in São Paulo
Sorry for the vid in Portuguese but she’s complaining that they’ve been stopped for over half an hour
Brazil meteorology is not a good thing to base yourself on, that being said, mclaren senna win
Yeah I have no idea I mean the weather barely stays consistent day to day here and half the time it’s wrong
💀
realistically both max and lando need multiple dnfs for this to practically happen
What? No, it says right there
Though a DNF or two from either would certainly make it easier
The only math u need 2 know is ur biased for Leclerc
i said the word realistically and practically
Welcome to Brazil everyone
It’s a shame Vini did’nt win the Ballon Dor
But I hope the F1 Brazil race cheers the F1 Brazilian fans up
when do u guys think hamilton will retire?
2-3 more years at least
He's doing well enough, moving to a team that's likely to perform well next year. Basically just vibing even if he isn't contending for WDC
I do hope to see him and Max fighting at the front again though
Yeah they will fight for p3 while chuck and piastri fight for p1
i hope max can win this gp
I hope Max doesn't commit a war crime against Lando
yep i think leclerc will do better overall next year but we might see him with a few wins next year
mainly bc he will probably crash hamilton in quali
young leclerc did beat 2019 vettel in quali crazy
Guys kmag pole incoming
i can feel it
gonna be an almost exact repeat of 2022
except this time hes going to win
kmag did pull some great quali stints
and he demolished mick despite taking a year off f1
reminder kmag took a year off f1!!
same thing hes going to do next year if he cant get a seat
than come back and get his first race win
trust
one of the young ones
i love to see kmag as a reserve driver for haas next year
same role that hulk did in racing point
/ aston martin
they prob will resign bottas or get bortoleto
colapinto confirmed out
Source on this?
really?
“i wont be having a seat in f1 next year”
That’s along the same lines as Perez saying “I will 100% be driving in Mexico next year”
idk how reliable this is
https://thesportsrush.com/f1-news-i-dont-have-seat-for-next-year-franco-colapinto-denies-red-bull-links/
says nothing about stake tho
They just need to swap out albon next year
Yea he said this in the post-race interview
albon’s been a fraud so far after baku
he had a good quali in mexico
but williams want to keep the lineup tho
good lineup at the end of the day
I think they might start changing their tune. He is not only performing on track but he is quickly becoming a star. With sainz and colapinto Williams could become the #1 team in Latin America and Hispanic countries. Money talks. Ask Perez.
then Albon in Sauber
Or just axed
tbh
Yeah, no need for him in the current grid
not like he is some A tier driver tbh
I’d be more sad if someone like Hulkenburg is not on the grid next year

Tbf tho he was unlucky since Singapore
He was never outqualified for the actual race
He's only been ass on sprint qualifying
OMG YES
but i’m okay with colapinto replacing him next szn. imagine the sponsors and it’s not like albon’s an A tier driver
and we’ve seen how good colapinto is
could expand to the latin market
w two spanish speaking drivers
albon isnt rlly that good anyways imo, colapinto has more potential then him
i mean there are those who deserves seats less than him
but yeah he isnt A tier
pretty mid tier imo
Does Colapinto have more potential?
How do we know he's not already near his ceiling?
exactly it’s pretty hard to decide
like a few montts before we all thought he was a regular F2 driver and won’t succeed in F1
Could be a case of the right driver in the wrong car for F2
Despite all being identical setup changes are a thing
yeah like the PREMA drivers
Who are both in F1 next year
so it doesnt really matter if you are dominating in f2 or behind the pack
That’s a tricky one
On one hand you have drivers like Leclerc, Piastri and Russell who win F2 and drive like they belong in F1
On the other hand you have Schumacher and De Vries who have bombed out, Drugovich on the sidelines and Pourchaire who probably won’t ever get on the grid
Then we have Colapinto who is challenging Albon and then some, Bearman/Kimi who are no way winning but signed for next year
Clearly over the last few years there are other factors to consider besides winning F2 that get you into a F1 seat
1 factor is money
kimi and bearman have money
and both have seats for 25
colapinto doesnt and he said he is not in 25 will try something for 25 then hustle for a seat 26
bortolleto did a last to first and still people are not mentioning his name
I will be heatbroken if bottas gets a seat over him
Bortoleto is rumoured to the Audi seat if he wins F2, he won F3 in his first year and potentially winning F2 in his first year (Like Piastri)
im fully behind him
Money plays a factor but you still require super license points to race F1
but being brazilian doesnt help you
You can’t fully buy a seat like you used to
you need money and atleast european
antonelli did
like drugovich basically
I’m not saying he got it free of charge
But he has won championships
i dont think antonelli bought his f1 seat
And between light testing for Mercedes and driving F2 he’s what, 6th in his first year?
but we also have vesti on the sidelines for merc
vesti came close in 2023
iirc?
right
to winning f2
How many years did Vesti race F2?
2?
Hmm, sounds like a case of Toto found a new toy he wants over his current one
will franco have an f2 seat next year or he cant anymore
Vesti was never really focused on, I don't think they thought very highly of him
I’m guessing he didn’t really have generational talent
Besides which, he managed to lose the F2 title with 6 feature race wins to Theo Pourchaire, who only won one, in Bahrain
Yeah that sounds like a consistency issue
but yeah
kimi does seem to have a lot of potential. we’ve seen him in monza before he crashed
but i think george will still destroy him in quali
but i think he will do…alright in his first szn
not too bad
but not lewis
might be a Russell Max switch in 2026 tbh
Who knows
Max will probably walk by then because the FIA keeps getting cranky with him
when is the earliest Max will retire
i think not earlier than 2026
He can retire whenever he wants
He could retire after this year if he loses F1 and he feels like it
yeah he might call it quits after winning a 4th title
He can retire after Brazil if he gets another stupid penalty
Well that last one is a stretch
that
in good reason
they let him of the hook in austin he should be thankfull
did they wait for brazil for this
verstappen
fair
me
nicholas latifi
nikita mazepig
Lando nestapen
Maxes Lecstapperc
lewes hamlecstapendo
Maxis Hamstappen
GUYS GUYS GUYS
I found this somewhere
Is this real?????
I thought it was gonna be seb?
Seb did it at Imola
I thought he'd be doing it again
Lewis will do it at Interlagos?
I don't knoww
I hope so, But why does this sound fake?
I found this randomly in a server and was confused
I tried searching but I found nothing
Ig
But I hope he gets to drive Senna's Mclaren
That would mean soo much to lewis
One message removed from a suspended account.
Funny bit of trivia, if lando does not win the sprint on Saturday, lando has to beat max on points, as it would be impossible for lando to win on count back
Lewis Hamilton is to drive Ayrton Senna’s iconic McLaren this weekend! 💛💚💙
He will be driving the iconic 1990 McLaren MP4/5B in a tribute lap on Saturday at 5 pm local time, marking 30 years since Senna’s passing.
However this is not Lewis’ first time in one of Senna’s car. In 2010, he was invited by Top Gear who provided him the opportunity t...
183
It has to be true now
This would mean soo much to lewis
Sooo happy for him
dayummmmm
I cant believe I have to see "ferrari fans" supporting lewis from next season
I am devastated...
What's wrong wit that?
I've been a Ferrari and lewis fan since the day I started watching
(more of a Lewis fan)
everything... but cant do shit when merc is doin shit... I hope he just wins everything there nd dont get the ferrari treatment
I hope he wins too
Ferrari hasn't been very good for the drivers who there near the end of their careers 😭
"graveyard of champions"
But I'm positive
no way in my life I thought I'll be wishing that ferrari should get better nd start performing
what if i already supported ferrari in the first place
😭
its just a combination yk
Me too lol
Lewis has always been my favourite and Ferrari is my favourite constructors
I am just a lewis nd merc fan
yh
ferrari is opps
im gonna keep supporing merc tho cuz george crashing constantly is kinda amusing
😂
also cuz toto funny faces
I want kimi to take that tractor to weekly podiums
oh yeah i forgot about kimi
The crashes have affected their cost cap so we might not see any upgrades from them (not that we would anyways but yk, if they have to fix something in the car rn)
yeah im excited to see him race
goatenolli
I am a big Kimi glazer 😭
I fought in like 2-3 servers when he crashed in Monza FP1
people hatin for no reason
Wasn't his fault tbh, merc put him out on softer rubber first
the new hobby
And he made a rookie mistake
Downshifting at high speed at parbolica
Small mistake big consequence
Antonelli gonna do wonders in Mercedes
Even experienced drivers like Kmag crashed or went off
True
He's like those generational talents you get once in a long while
If he wins a race in his first 2-3 (i think it was 2) races with merc he'll be the youngest gp winner
safety car did the exact same thing the day before
Yea
The track was resurfaced and it was tricky
Kimi made a small mistake with a big consequence
But the few minutes he participated in that session, you could see he has the raw speed and talent
The way he attacked every corner like he was on a quali lap
hm
alonso?! 🙀
its one mistake, the consequences are not that insane
crashing in FP happens every time
how old is he?
max was 18 and 228 days old when he won his first race
Fr 😂
so if kimi wins in the first few races he will be the youngest
but i dont think he will
aston will be fast with newey
nando has chance for 3rd wdc if he doesnt fuck it
First 2 races
They won't be fast so soon
Imo
It'll take time, it's not just about newey.. it's about the whole team
nah i reckon newey already working on the car
i think its why redbull has been slower, they havent had good upgrades from him
I think they'll be top 6 in 2025 and then in top 3 by 2027
cos they prob shut him off from the developments
Maybe championship contenders by 2028
nah i reckon top 3 by new regs
Red Bull? Yea they did
Let's see
redbull was number 1 in new regs cos of newey
Aston is a prime example of that throwing money at a problem can't solve it
There are a lot of people thinking that newey will have a very quick impact but it doesn't work like that
aston is a prime example of why you dont let a father own a team with his son in the team.
It takes years to build a team a lot of members, not just one person
That's true 😂
stroll needs to go.
He does.
the aston point deficit is worse than vcarb
atleast daniel was only 10 points behind
stroll is almost 40 behind
did yall heard about what car lewis is going to drive?
the ferrari?
senna
like mclaren senna or sennas car?
Sennas car rip 30 years dead
in brazil?
ye
MP4/4?
timezone?
brazil time
i think 4 hours behind uk time
wru from
then it's Friday
I dont think its mp4/4

maybe his williams?
Its something along the lines of mp4/5b
oh
one hour ahead of est
i think
ngl would have thought itd be the car he died in
well that car isn't really in great shape anymore
oh i thought they would have fixed it
brrrrrrrt
but ig preserve it for museum?
no idea honestly but idk how i'd feel about it being driven around, kinda his car you know
thanks
i mean laudas car was driven by charles
nw
fair point
i know they've got his MP4/4 here in london but they've got others they'd probably rather use
the williams senna crashed was the fw45 right
don't recall off the top of my head
lemme check
why do i feel like the fw45 was from 2 years ago
only a few years off
honestly i do not keep up with the names of the williams cars
only really redbull, merc and mclaren
ferrari is all over the place so its hard to keep track
i can't keep up with McLaren
MCL40 no?
right
yea ngl that is all over the place too.
but i think 2023 was their 60th year as a car brand no?
yea 1963
was when mclaren was founded
but 38 years in f1
ok so yea their name isnt all over the name, just did a special name for 60 years as a brand
yeah better than Ferrari
like
Ferrari has a whole lotta morse code and ancient languages in their names
F175
yea
the first race of the season was?
tuscan gp
that was 2020 right
yea
mercedes and rb are the only 2 teams with consistent names.
The 1st race in 2020 was Austria.
nah i meant for their 1000th race
But Tuscany was the 1000th for Ferrari, which is the reason for the car name.
mhmmm
The SF75 was because of Ferrari's 75th year in F1.
why cant all the teams just be like mclaren
Literally
not mclaren.
why tf did i say mclaren
why cant they be like mercedes and redbull.
keep the names consistent
if they did that, they wouldnt need special names for milestones IN THE SPORT
like this year was mercedes 15th year as a constructor right
and redbulls 20th
I think next year will be their 15th
was the car not the w15 this year?
Yea
yea so 15 years no?
but Mercedes came back in 2010
hmm
yes
cos its same for redbull, only they went from minardi to redbull in 2005
(year i was born 🙏)
that means i basically made redbull happen
😎
im goated ig
im the reason 7 wdc have been won by them
more than likely about to be 8 😔
who debuted in 2005?
No one important
lmao
woah woah woah fisichella and luizzi were important no?
i mean p6 in debut season for fisichella is pretty damn good id say
wont happen in a willy
but maybe 2026 changes stuff
but maybe he could go to mercedes for 2026 if george massively underperforms
lawson overrated, doesnt even have a bot yet for standings 🥱
Nah colapintos not replacing George they need George to be a Ricciardo till antonelli can get some experience
yea thats why i said maybe, its superrrr slim chances
insanely unlikely to happen
Maybe redbull
but it still can, anything is possible
doubt theyll take him
redbull dont do well with rookies
They were said to have offered
i assume thats if they drop checo
But Williams only wanted a loan
dropping logan was def the right move
Well yes it seems almost guaranteed he’ll be dropped but redbull is struggling to find replacements
take lawson put hadjar in vcarb
or do what most ppl have said
daniel and if he underperforms then lawson
Lawson’s not doing himself any good with the last two races. It’s becoming a bit of a tsunoda situation where he’s good but causing drama with other drivers or being too aggressive
yea
atleast daniel wasnt being like that
he wasnt taking massive risks
and was still getting vital points and taking points from others such as singapore.
if lawson doesnt score points i boycott vcarb
Yuki is just too good i think
Tsunoda has made some real progress in his time in F1, he's peformed really well against several teammates.
gasly has won. yuki hasnt.
and hes only had 3 teammates, lawson barely
and daniel outscored him last year with 1 race, lawson that is
So? Getting multiple strong points finishes is much more than a single win. The title of 'race winner' massively overrates drivers, particularly if they've only won once. Obviously you need to be at a certain level to be able to pick up the pieces but Pierre was still very lucky.
yuki hasnt even been on the podium
Driver who's been in the sport over ten years and won races manages to get one points finish in seventh, against a complete rookie who managed ninth at the most challenging track on the calendar, which he's never driven before. Not that impressive.
How many teammates does a driver need to be fully evaluated?
lawson barely counts as a teammate as hes only done what? 7 races?
nyck was half a season
and was god awful
and daniels had about 2/3rds of a season with him
so really only 1 teammate actually
So Colapinto against Albon right now isn't a realistic comparison?
How long are we supposed to give drivers?
if they do a full season together its a fair comparison
De Vries wasn't too bad, the AT in 2023 was a terrible car, remember he scored in Monza 2022.
he was bad enough for him to be replaced lol
Tsunoda has beaten/is beating three teammates, and was pretty much matching Gasly by the end of their time together.
i wouldnt say beaten all 3
He wasn't good obviously, but given more time he might have done better
I would
again, last year, not a fair comparison
yuki raced the whole season
this year, same scenario
he hasnt had a teammate stay the whole year since 2022
Ricciardo was 'bad enough to be replaced' in your words, he wouldn't have been replaced if he wasn't being clearly beaten by Yuki (he was)
