being so he got a penalty for the teams info

winter forge
#

Well, there’s other penalties that punish drivers for team errors

#

Unsafe releases

crisp mason
#

yea

winter forge
#

And time penalties that aren’t served correctly

crisp mason
#

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

winter forge
#

but the driver getting a time penalty can also cost the team money

crisp mason
#

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

winter forge
#

thats not just for stop go penalties, its for all penalties served in the pits

crisp mason
winter forge
#

ricciardo got one earlier this year

crisp mason
#

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

crisp mason

#

Monza

#

5 second penalty, some guy touched the car when he came into the box and so he got another 10 seconds

crisp mason
#

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

stiff bough
#

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

Damn that was a sweet one

i guess

urban zenith
#

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

crimson sundial
#

yeah thats a good vision. I guess thats why also the big 20 sec penalty

urban zenith
#

Yeah

#

But idk if max couldve thought of that whilst driving

Right place right time right person really. Max wasn’t gonna miss the opportunity to defend his wdc even if it meant being penalized

Should instead give a point for pole

junior granite
#

points for quali is actually a good idea

#

forgot that that's a thing in some series

gaunt sable
#

Don't they give 2 points in f2 for pole in feature races?

wooden kettle
#

actually idk i kinda like fl points but i understand why they’d get rid of them

hushed wadi
#

the 2016 championship actually changes with 1 vs 2 points for pole

#

meanwhile the 2024 gap actually increases with points for pole ☠️

candid shoal
# stiff bough Should instead give a point 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

stiff bough
#

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

rapid horizon
stiff bough
#

At least with the pole point, you're actually rewarding someone for being the fastest man on track

rapid horizon
#

true true

#

stops people like RB stealing the fastest lap point then

#

they are NEVER getting pole

#

😞

sacred compass
#

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

#

Can Max win the WDC in Brazil?

gentle verge
#

Brazil gp let’s go!!!

dawn zealot
#

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

glass stump
#

Nah Max is gonna win it

dawn zealot
gentle verge
#

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

dawn zealot
#

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

gentle verge
#

Yeah I guess never say never

dawn zealot
#

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

tacit mountain
gentle verge
#

He’s already proved he’s a great driver to me

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

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."

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

grim egret
#

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

wet sequoia
grim egret
#

im fully behind him

wet sequoia
#

Money plays a factor but you still require super license points to race F1

grim egret
#

but being brazilian doesnt help you

wet sequoia
#

You can’t fully buy a seat like you used to

you need money and atleast european

I’m not saying he got it free of charge

but drugovich is more bc of stroll

#

lawrence stroll

wet sequoia

But he has won championships

#

i dont think antonelli bought his f1 seat

wet sequoia
#

And between light testing for Mercedes and driving F2 he’s what, 6th in his first year?

winged dagger

vesti came close in 2023

#

iirc?

#

right

winged dagger

#

How many years did Vesti race F2?

winged dagger
#

2?

wet sequoia
#

Hmm, sounds like a case of Toto found a new toy he wants over his current one

winged dagger
#

will franco have an f2 seat next year or he cant anymore

wet sequoia
#

Possibly

#

He has a very slim chance at Audi

#

But I don’t think he wants it

stiff bough
wet sequoia
#

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

wet sequoia
#

Yeah that sounds like a consistency issue

stiff bough
#

a large portion of it was

#

some bad luck sprinkled here and there

winged dagger
#

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

winged dagger
#

not too bad

#

but not lewis

wet sequoia
#

I don’t expect Kimi to beat Russell until 2027

#

If Russell remains that long

winged dagger
wet sequoia
#

Who knows

#

Max will probably walk by then because the FIA keeps getting cranky with him

winged dagger
#

i think not earlier than 2026

wet sequoia
#

He can retire whenever he wants

#

He could retire after this year if he loses F1 and he feels like it

winged dagger
wet sequoia
#

He can retire after Brazil if he gets another stupid penalty

#

Well that last one is a stretch

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...

also cuz toto funny faces

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

I fought in like 2-3 servers when he crashed in Monza FP1

Wasn't his fault tbh, merc put him out on softer rubber first

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

#

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

zinc saffron

#

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

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

Imo

It'll take time, it's not just about newey.. it's about the whole team

crisp mason

nah i reckon newey already working on the car

i think its why redbull has been slower, they havent had good upgrades from him

fossil goblet
#

I think they'll be top 6 in 2025 and then in top 3 by 2027

crisp mason

cos they prob shut him off from the developments

Maybe championship contenders by 2028

crisp mason

nah i reckon top 3 by new regs

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

crisp mason
#

aston is a prime example of why you dont let a father own a team with his son in the team.

fossil goblet

It takes years to build a team a lot of members, not just one person

crisp mason
#

stroll needs to go.

fossil goblet
#

He does.

crisp mason
#

the aston point deficit is worse than vcarb

#

atleast daniel was only 10 points behind

stroll is almost 40 behind

the williams senna crashed was the fw45 right

lavish ore

don't recall off the top of my head

crisp mason

lemme check

why do i feel like the fw45 was from 2 years ago

crisp mason

😭

definitely was not

#

ah, FW16

remote knoll

the fw45 was the 2023 car 💀

#

Senna time traveller?

crisp mason
#

oh wait it was

#

im dumb 😭

remote knoll
#

only a few years off

crisp mason
#

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

remote knoll
#

i can't keep up with McLaren

crisp mason
#

MCL40 no?

remote knoll
#

What car is this? the mcl60?

#

ah hell naw 😭

crisp mason
#

its the MCL38

#

60 was last year

remote knoll
#

right

crisp mason
#

yea ngl that is all over the place too.

#

but i think 2023 was their 60th year as a car brand no?

remote knoll
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

maybe

crisp mason
#

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

remote knoll
#

yeah better than Ferrari

crisp mason
#

like

remote knoll
#

Ferrari has a whole lotta morse code and ancient languages in their names

crisp mason

STICK WITH A NAME FORMAT

fuckin

#

f2004

sf1000

sf75

why sf1000???

remote knoll

F175

crisp mason
#

yea

remote knoll
#

um

#

1000th race

crisp mason
#

the first race of the season was?

remote knoll
#

tuscan gp

crisp mason
#

that was 2020 right

remote knoll
#

yea

crisp mason
#

mercedes and rb are the only 2 teams with consistent names.

cyan saffron
#

The 1st race in 2020 was Austria.

crisp mason
cyan saffron
#

But Tuscany was the 1000th for Ferrari, which is the reason for the car name.

crisp mason
#

mhmmm

cyan saffron
#

The SF75 was because of Ferrari's 75th year in F1.

crisp mason
#

why cant all the teams just be like mclaren

crisp mason
#

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

remote knoll
#

I think next year will be their 15th

crisp mason
#

was the car not the w15 this year?

remote knoll
#

Yea

crisp mason
#

yea so 15 years no?

remote knoll
#

but Mercedes came back in 2010

crisp mason
#

hmm

remote knoll
#

wait

#

that is 15 years

#

counting 2010

crisp mason
#

😭 yea

#

i forgor that

#

man. numbers are weird huh

remote knoll
#

yes

crisp mason
#

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

remote knoll
#

😎

crisp mason
#

im goated ig

#

im the reason 7 wdc have been won by them

#

more than likely about to be 8 😔

#

who debuted in 2005?

remote knoll
#

No one important

crisp mason
#

man

#

who was it

#

WAIT

#

IM THE REASON NANDO WON 2005 COS I WAS BORN

#

PRAISE BE!

remote knoll
#

lmao

crisp mason
#

thats crazy.

#

nando alpine 2005 is wild!

#

(ik ik renault is alpine)

crisp mason
#

i mean p6 in debut season for fisichella is pretty damn good id say

floral rose
#

colapinto race winner

#

imagine

crisp mason
#

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 🥱

pseudo quail
#

Nah colapintos not replacing George they need George to be a Ricciardo till antonelli can get some experience

crisp mason
#

insanely unlikely to happen

pseudo quail
#

Maybe redbull

crisp mason
#

but it still can, anything is possible

#

doubt theyll take him

#

redbull dont do well with rookies

pseudo quail
#

They were said to have offered

crisp mason
#

i assume thats if they drop checo

pseudo quail
#

But Williams only wanted a loan

crisp mason
#

dropping logan was def the right move

pseudo quail
crisp mason
#

take lawson put hadjar in vcarb

#

or do what most ppl have said

#

daniel and if he underperforms then lawson

crisp mason
#

p6 debut season is pretty insane

#

albeit in a renault, still amazing for a rookie

pseudo quail
#

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

crisp mason
#

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

hushed thistle
#

Yuki is just too good i think

crisp mason
#

yuki isnt that good

#

i kinda think he gets overrated

#

cos of daniel

spare glacier
#

Tsunoda has made some real progress in his time in F1, he's peformed really well against several teammates.

crisp mason
#

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

spare glacier
# crisp mason gasly has won. yuki hasnt.

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.

crisp mason
#

yuki hasnt even been on the podium

spare glacier
spare glacier
crisp mason
#

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

spare glacier
#

So Colapinto against Albon right now isn't a realistic comparison?

#

How long are we supposed to give drivers?

crisp mason
#

if they do a full season together its a fair comparison

spare glacier
#

De Vries wasn't too bad, the AT in 2023 was a terrible car, remember he scored in Monza 2022.

crisp mason
#

he was bad enough for him to be replaced lol

spare glacier
#

Tsunoda has beaten/is beating three teammates, and was pretty much matching Gasly by the end of their time together.

crisp mason
#

i wouldnt say beaten all 3

spare glacier
crisp mason
#

i honestly doubt it

#

he was 28 right?

#

way too young to be starting in f1

#

old*

spare glacier
crisp mason
#

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

spare glacier
#

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)
