[crisp mason]

cos redbull are indesicive mfs

he was just inconsistent this year

[spare glacier]

You've already said that de Vries wouldn't have improved so we can count that as a win for Yuki, even if he was dropped mid season so didn't have a full season to be measured

[crisp mason]

yea cos of his age

[hushed thistle]

Well he still been able to beat his teammates head to head which proves he deserves a sit alongside Max

[crisp mason]

28 and starting f1

[crisp mason]

yea when they come into the season half way 😭

[spare glacier]

Whether Yuki beats Lawson remains to be seen, it's hard to tell so far

[crisp mason]

you cant go off of half a season or less

[hushed thistle]

Yeah he has especially his radio message he no longer swears

[spare glacier]

Well that's the only way to judge them, F1 isn't always fair, you have to prove yourself in the time you have, you don't always get a full season (especially if you drive for a Red Bull owned team)

[spare glacier]

He's definitely calmed down in that sense

[hushed thistle]

I think he just belong to the Mercedes family

[crisp mason]

nah

de vries doesnt belong in f1

same with stroll and checo

maybe de vries can do sum in indy

[hushed thistle]

He has proven enough to get a sit alongside Max idk who deserves it better then him, i think Redbull will not give him a sit because Honda is leaving, if only AMR will replace Stroll with yuki that will be better especially with 2026 reg

[crisp mason]

well redbull have said theyll back him when they go ford powered

[spare glacier]

Yh that's where I wish Yuki would go

[hushed thistle]

They use is that as a leverage for him to stay at the sister team while Perez is just shitt

[hushed thistle]

Don’t u remember Monza 22 😱 he scored 2 pts after just one session pf practice

[crisp mason]

zhou scored in his debut race

i dont see your point here

[spare glacier]

I can see why they want to sign Lawson but if they really want to chuck someone in from Vegas onwards Yuki is surely the only option (and if they don't then he'll surely try to leave the team)

[hushed thistle]

If i was yuki i will move to AMR that will be better than been a no.2 driver

[spare glacier]

Tbf that was also a strong track for Williams at the time

[tacit mountain]

I'd say he actually did alright in 2022

[crisp mason]

yuki would fold under pressure of bringing back wcc

[hushed thistle]

He needs to, Honda should get him to AMR before 2026

[spare glacier]

AMR want to look for bigger names, now they have Newey, unfortunately for Yuki

[spare glacier]

He may make it though

[crisp mason]

dude

redbull have said they will back him for 2026 engine

[spare glacier]

Your evidence for this? Why wouldn't Lawson?

[crisp mason]

but its his choice if he wants to stay honda powered or not

[crisp mason]

yea lawson would too

[hushed thistle]

I mean if he stayed at Williams with him been with Mercedes all along he will be prove something better than what he did in Alpha tauri

[spare glacier]

So who would you put in the RBR?

[crisp mason]

right now? i would go daniel and if he doesnt do better than checo did, for 2025 put whoever did better in last few races at vcarb there

[spare glacier]

Red Bull aren't seriously backing him if they're trying to hurry Lawson into Perez's seat, they clearly don't have confidence for 2026 they don't even have it now

[hushed thistle]

It’s too late, they should have swap the drivers after summer break maybe their WCC will have survived

[crisp mason]

yea

they can still win but its unlikely

[spare glacier]

You're joking. What has Daniel done to prove that he's worthy of such a thing, since his return? He's been outpeformed consistently by Yuki.

[hushed thistle]

F1 will be very interesting from 2025 onwards

[crisp mason]

hes the only one who could handle that kind of pressure

in the redbull family that is

[spare glacier]

What makes you think Yuki or Liam can't?

[crisp mason]

theyve never been in that situation

[spare glacier]

Yes, but he just doesn't have the pace any more.

[crisp mason]

daniel has

and we know that how?

[hushed thistle]

That should have happened before the summer break, they had the chance to do that

[crisp mason]

vcarb as a team was inconsistent

[crisp mason]

yup

[spare glacier]

You're never going to find out if you don't try...

[crisp mason]

its what i was saying from summer break

[crisp mason]

yea but its a terrible decision near the end of the season to bring in someone who has never been in that situation

[hushed thistle]

I feel like Ric is more of a front row driver than mid that’s why he sucks in a mid field car

[crisp mason]

thinking strategically its best to have someone who has been in the situation redbull is in

yes.

that is correct

[tacit mountain]

He did alright in the renault

[crisp mason]

renault id say is the only time he performed in mid field

but they were top of mid field

[hushed thistle]

Was the 4th fastest car in 2020 Ocon was just shit

[crisp mason]

mhm

almost a top team

he performs best with a good car

[hushed thistle]

Some races faster then BWT

[crisp mason]

what

bwt is a sponsor.

do you mean racing point or alpine??

[hushed thistle]

They know it, they should have given him a chance this year alongside Max

[crisp mason]

mhm

[hushed thistle]

Racing point

[crisp mason]

redbull are just moronic and are only thinking about the money

tracing point

the fact that checo beat the w11 in sakhir 2020 is insane

his fall off needs to be studied

then again, george got 2 punctures AND bottas tyres so

his win was stolen from him by the team and tyres

[spare glacier]

So...
a) Leave in a driver who's peforming poorly, and has previously peformed well in high pressure situations due to experience
b) Bring in a driver who was DROPPED for peforming poorly, and has previously peformed well in high pressure situations due to experience (before you ask: 2020, 2021, 2022 seasons and many other times before)
c) Bring in a young driver who has peformed well recently, who hasn't been judged under pressure yet but has a good chance of doing well

[hushed thistle]

I can’t believe they prioritize driver’s champ on top constructors

[crisp mason]

mhm

[spare glacier]

Wouldn't say a move this late in the season is a good idea for RBR though.

[crisp mason]

neither can i

[hushed thistle]

Did u watched the race live?

[crisp mason]

we arent saying

[crisp mason]

nah, i watched the highlights of that

it was when i was getting into f1 and didnt know what it was on

[spare glacier]

Ik I was just making my opinion known

[crisp mason]

found out in 2021 it was on foxtel

[hushed thistle]

I now understand why u said he beat the w11 😂

[crisp mason]

at summer break was the optimal time to change shito

yea lmao

i should watch that race tho.

[spare glacier]

I would say that finding a driver for RBR, to race alongside Max is immensely difficult. They need to peform under huge pressure

[crisp mason]

was very intense from just the highlights

[crisp mason]

hence why daniel is the best pick

hes also been maxs teammate before, they have a dynamic

or was the best pick

[spare glacier]

What a dynamic

[crisp mason]

bruh

[dawn zealot]

Beat me to it

[crisp mason]

shit happens

its racing

they were a good duo

[hushed thistle]

The problem is RBR won’t let their drivers be like ferrari drivers, let them race instead they force them to be no.2 to max which will destroy their confidence

[crisp mason]

mhm

or even mclaren

[spare glacier]

Ahem

[hushed thistle]

💀💀

[crisp mason]

which letting them fight imo is a dumb decision

[spare glacier]

exactly, might also be partly because max is such a legendary driver though

[crisp mason]

with mclaren, they should 100% be prioritising lando, they should have been since summer break or atleast hungary onwards

wait was hungary before summer break or after

i forgor

[spare glacier]

Didn't Ricciardo leave the team because he knew he was being beaten by Max (as well as salary trouble)

[spare glacier]

Before iirc

[hushed thistle]

They made him, if only Ric didn’t leave RBR things will be equal btw them

[crisp mason]

no his manager got him a better deal at renault

[spare glacier]

Ricciardo didn't do anything to show he was going to deal with pressure well at RBR, after he returned mid-2023

[hushed thistle]

I will have still stayed, he left but when for worse option tbh

[crisp mason]

and performed just as well at renault

in a much slower car

getting podiums

[spare glacier]

Ricciardo is not the same driver now as he was in 2018. He isn't the best choice for the 2nd RBR seat.

[hushed thistle]

Yh I respect that 3 podiums in 2020

[crisp mason]

in the 4th fastest car no less

6 drivers who should be faster than you

[spare glacier]

It was 2021 where he first started to go downhill

[crisp mason]

and he beat minimum 5 of them

[crisp mason]

he got a win in 2021?

how was he going downhill in 2021 when he got his first win in 3 years

[hushed thistle]

Then who is? Maybe they should get a rookie from F2 that why they will get what they want within 2 years, or maybe should have kept Gasly

[winter forge]

In 2021 he was totally outclassed by Lando

[crisp mason]

and yet he won and lando didnt

[spare glacier]

Yes, he did. Remember what I said about wins earlier - maybe one lucky race, but he was being beaten by Norris consistently, and was eventually dropped the following year. The statistic of race win is overrated.

[winter forge]

Because of team orders

[crisp mason]

he was dropped cos he said himself, he had trouble adapting to the new regs

[spare glacier]

Winning a race is nice for vanity but isn't the best thing overall, consistent points are much better

[hushed thistle]

Moving to MCL destroyed his career how i wish he was in this year’s McL he will have done better tbh

[spare glacier]

Yh Lando might have won

[spare glacier]

Tsunoda or Lawson

[hushed thistle]

When did u start watching f1?

[crisp mason]

2020

i said this before

it was when i started getting into it

[winter forge]

Hadjar

[spare glacier]

The McLaren was not bad in 2021 either

[winter forge]

I have no idea why its not clear and obvious

[spare glacier]

Putting Hadjar straight into an RBR would not work

[crisp mason]

was prob the worst time to start cos of covid making it a silly season

[winter forge]

Yes it would

[hushed thistle]

Yuki ✅

[crisp mason]

rookies have never performed at redbull so yea

[spare glacier]

Apparently Hadjar didn't impress RBR in his FP1 either (saw that on The Race)

[hushed thistle]

I wasn’t able to adapt quickly

[spare glacier]

Norris nearly won in Russia in 2021 anyway

[stone topaz]

why put a rookie directly into RBR when you have a junior team which is for that exact purpose

makes zero sense

[winter forge]

Can’t read much from one free practice session

[crisp mason]

yea but his own stupidity lost him the race

[spare glacier]

If wins are important

[winter forge]

Because that rookie has easily the most potential

Lawson and Tsunoda are stop gaps

[spare glacier]

Williams put Colapinto in based on one practice session which impressed them

[spare glacier]

Nah

[spare glacier]

F2 isn't everything

[stone topaz]

should give him that VCARB seat before RBR to see how he performs

[winter forge]

No, but an insanely impressive junior career kinda is

[spare glacier]

Hadjar's can definitely good in time and will prob get the VCARB seat when RBR decide who replaces Checo

[spare glacier]

He deserves a seat but defo shouldn't go to RBR straight away

[winter forge]

But they have nothing to lose

[spare glacier]

He made a mistake yh

[winter forge]

None of their options are strong enough to take back second in the world championship

[spare glacier]

The WCC?

[crisp mason]

they can still win wcc

[stone topaz]

Lawson or Tsunoda is the only logical option

[crisp mason]

and can still lose wdc

[winter forge]

They really can’t

[spare glacier]

Yes

[crisp mason]

they can

[spare glacier]

I agree it's very unlikely

[crisp mason]

its mathematically possible

[winter forge]

Mathematically yes but realistically no

[stone topaz]

if the car gets better then yes

[winged dagger]

I’m sensing a Norris win in Sao Paulo

[spare glacier]

I gtg now, to summarise
Perez - getting dropped at some point
Ricciardo - not returning
Lawson - potentially to RBR
Tsunoda - potentially to RBR
Hadjar - probably to VCARB

[winged dagger]

But who knows might be Piastri

I think this is a good track for McLaren tho

[winter forge]

How is the car getting better though

They aren’t bringing more upgrades

[spare glacier]

They prob won't be silly enough to lose focus on the '25 car

[winter forge]

Yeah literally no one will bring upgrades for three rounds

Thats not a thing

[stone topaz]

I said if
(if my mom had balls she would be my dad)

[winged dagger]

Are we expecting a 1-2

I don’t think Piastri will be 2nd in quali tho

[winter forge]

no because piastri is bad

[winged dagger]

He lacks quite a bit of one lap pace

compared to Norris

[stone topaz]

you're underestimating Ferrari

[winged dagger]

I think Ferrari will be either P2 or P3

[winter forge]

its going to rain so mclaren will be quickest

[crisp mason]

hes not bad, just not good enough for p2 rn

[winged dagger]

Hell Max with a 5 grid place penalty might even overtake Piastri

I think he just lacks experience

[crisp mason]

potentially

yea

he gets overrated cos of the win in baku imo

[winged dagger]

He does have potential though

[crisp mason]

hungary no cos he was given it

[winged dagger]

Nah people were praising him since Belgium

[crisp mason]

it was a great drive in baku

[winter forge]

people were praising him for the ‘most points in last six races’ or whatever

[crisp mason]

but landos drive in baku was much better

[winged dagger]

I think he is still behind Norris though, by quite a bit

[crisp mason]

15th-4th

yea

[hushed wadi]

i have sad news

[stone topaz]

goatifi wins WDC and WCC all by himself you're all wrong

[winged dagger]

I think Piastri won’t do better than Norris until at least 2026

[hushed wadi]

piastri is no longer the top scorer since verstappen's last gp win

[winged dagger]

I think he needs more experience

To settle

[winter forge]

who is

leclerc?

or lando

[hushed wadi]

yes

165 vs 164

kek

[winged dagger]

I think Piastri will finish 5th in the WDC

sainz will overtake him

[stone topaz]

just stop thinking goatifi wins it all

[winged dagger]

real

[stone topaz]

verstappen and norris my ass

[winged dagger]

not that guy who paid FIA to win the WDC in 2021

sigh

and not that overrated driver who underperforms in the fastest car

[crimson sundial]

Sm0000thhh OpperraaatttooooOOoo00RrrRrr

[winged dagger]

did he sing that when he won in mexico

[dawn zealot]

I don't think so, I was waiting for it and never heard

I still can't believe they declared him King of Mexico

That was hilarious

[crisp mason]

who has the most wins at mexico, surely lewis right?

doesnt he have the most tracks with the most wins at them?

[dawn zealot]

Max it looks like

Max in '17, '18, '21, '22, '23. Lewis in '16, '19

[crisp mason]

damn okay

so he should be king of mexico no?

[dawn zealot]

I think that's marginally better than declaring a Spaniard such lmao

[crisp mason]

no well cos its carlos first win there

australia is his best track no?

or does he have no tracks with double wins

[dawn zealot]

'22 at Silverstone, '23 Singapore, '24 Australia and Mexico

[crisp mason]

ok so yea he cant really be called the king of any track

[dawn zealot]

This has been a banger year for Sainz actually

[crisp mason]

but i would say australia is his best, would you?

came back after a surgery and won

(max and george dnf but yk)

CANT PARK THERE GEORGE

[dawn zealot]

I mean he led for like the entire race, I think that's fair

Though basically the same in Mexico

I don't think Mexico counts as his best because Leclerc was holding off, so we'll go Australia

[hushed thistle]

Silverstone is his best

[winged dagger]

there’s a straight in silverstone that is named after lewis right

[hushed thistle]

Yep! The Hamilton straight

[winged dagger]

2 wins, crazy. i think he’s gonna outscore 2022

[hushed thistle]

He is doing better than 2022 tbh, Ferrari just went for the bold choice

Lewis is just Lewis, bigger than F1

[winged dagger]

but hes in a competitive car next season. we might see him win a few races esp since his mental healths been getting better ever since that 2021 inchident

[hushed thistle]

If Ferrari will be at front of the grid and continue to be we might witness 8th

[dawn zealot]

Ferrari better be competitive next season. I have hopes with what they're doing right now.

If McLaren keeps up what they've been doing and RB figures out at what point they put the tires on backwards so they can fix it, next year might be hella competitive.

[hushed thistle]

The problem is not the start of the season, it all able developing in the right direction, if they got the development right this year Leclerc will be leading the WDC rn

[dawn zealot]

Plus Haas getting faster with Toyota

I would pay cash money to see a solid RB/McLaren/Ferrari/Haas fight for the title

[hushed thistle]

I was very impressed by Haas performance

[dawn zealot]

Very true

[hushed thistle]

Imagine if Leclerc had p5 at least instead of DNF and pointless races

Lando fuckedup and I don’t think he will get another opportunity like this any close, he wasted 12 races ffs 🤦‍♂️

[winged dagger]

if no “inchidents” happen like in 2022 or 2018

was rhe fastest car

and then fell off

[dawn zealot]

It's beyond me how he managed to do that

[winged dagger]

2018 ferrari even gave prime hamilton a hard time in the beginning. reminder vettel was alr out of his prime by then

[hushed thistle]

Ferrari need to get away to keep the development right

[winged dagger]

2018 vettel was still good js less aggressive than his rb days

[dawn zealot]

Even with good development Ferrari always seems like a dice roll though. I have no idea how they can be wildly competitive one week and have the floor falling out the next.

[hushed thistle]

I can’t even imagine it, wasting 12 races been tje fastest car overall, he will have been leading comfortably

[hushed thistle]

2018 was peak season absolutely greatness

[winged dagger]

mclaren’s the fastest car since miami right

[winged dagger]

kimi first win since idk how many years in COTA

[hushed thistle]

I don’t even know how they are at the front rn, they had zero upgrades in Austin

[dawn zealot]

Just Ferrari things

Equal parts bullshit and magic

[hushed thistle]

Lol

[dawn zealot]

Believe so

[lone iron]

somewhat

[snow marten]

wsp

[grizzled owl]

Yoo

[lone iron]

if ferrai have a decent result with this one Im gonna be over the moon

[hushed thistle]

Miami won thx to SC
Imola: didn’t even know he had the pace to win
Monaco: poor qualifying
Canada: poor qualifying + worst race start
Spain: bottle T1
GB gp: McL repeating Russia 21
Hungary: MCL should have let him win
Belgium: idk how Max finished above him 🤦‍♂️
Netherland: good
Monza; got outsmarted by a 2 year driver at t3 and couldn’t make places
Baku: that’s why u should set time very quick
Singapore: almost bottles with 20sec lead
US; Lando doing his things 🤦‍♂️
Mexico: should have won

[winter forge]

few corrections

[hushed thistle]

Where am i wrong

[winter forge]

Canada bad sc
Belgium awful start
Baku unlucky with yellows

[hushed thistle]

Belgium MCL had alot of pace we saw it with Oscar, Norris should have done better

[winged dagger]

Now Lando needs to outscore Max by 11 points every race to win

I think the moment when COTA ended Max was closer to the WDC than ever

[hushed thistle]

His chance is gone, even tho I don’t want Max to win be we can all see it happing

[winter forge]

Hence why I said poor start

[winged dagger]

Lando is not the most threatening unfortunately

Put Lewis or Charles in the same car

[hushed thistle]

Lando had i job to do, keep the lead after lap 1 that way he will finish ahead if max

[winged dagger]

Job done

[hushed thistle]

Sometimes i love how other fuck up to prove how good Lewis was when he had the chance

[winged dagger]

prople say lewis isnt a deserving driver bc of the car

went against nico, vettel and max

[hushed thistle]

U can’t name a driver that had so much competition

*across their career

[winged dagger]

Vettel did go against Alonso, Button, Webber, Hamilton in 2011 or 2012 iirc?

Pretty intense

but his car was very dominant at that time

[hushed thistle]

Vettel still not respected enough

[hushed thistle]

Just as max is rn

[winged dagger]

prime Hamilton also had a pretty dominant car

but he actually dominated

unlike cough cough

[winged dagger]

damnnnn everyone sees his potential

[hushed thistle]

I will definitely love it if he make it

[winged dagger]

same tbh

[winged dagger]

but ye those who said lewis only won bc of the car isnt completely correct. 2013-2016 fought with Rosberg and lost in 2016 bc of a mechanical issue. 2014 came back from a 30 point lead (iirc?) and rosberg won in h2h quali

[hushed thistle]

Whoever says Lewis won because of the car he didn’t watch him live

[crisp mason]

mercedes was competitive, multiple wins this year, they just fell off after silverstone

[crisp mason]

yea but quali means nothing unless its a track with little overtaking opportunities

like obviously if you quali at the back then youre prob not gonna win

but its happened before

[snow swan]

multiple wins this year? by mercedes? what?

[dry tusk]

They only had a good patch which lasted like 5-6 races

[crisp mason]

yea???

austria, belgium, silverstone?

[snow swan]

not a lot

[remote knoll]

it's multiple

[snow swan]

I know

[crisp mason]

yea i never said alot?

[snow swan]

no teams aside from Redbull, Ferrari, Mclaren, Mercedes have multiple wins

[remote knoll]

mhm

[snow swan]

the wdc title is boring tbh

we a wcc title fight between 2 car companies

[dry tusk]

Would’ve been interesting if it was max vs leclerc

[crisp mason]

how?

why is lando and max not interesting?

[dry tusk]

Leclerc wouldve probably taken the lead in that mcl by now

[crisp mason]

lando has never been higher than p4 in standings

[remote knoll]

would've been interesting if Max hadn't already had a huge margin

[crisp mason]

yea

[snow swan]

yeah, we have 2 half-belgian drivers fighting each other

[crisp mason]

this year is the most interesting since 2021.

but yea if max hadnt won 7 of the first 10 races itd be more interesting

[dry tusk]

Idc about nationality honestly i just want a good title fight

[remote knoll]

maybe

[dry tusk]

So what?

[snow swan]

is it gonna be Ferrari this year or Mclaren

[crisp mason]

mclaren most likely

[remote knoll]

Leclerc isn't exactly the most pristine driver under pressure either

[snow swan]

Don't count out ferrari yet, they are fighting

[crisp mason]

i know...

its just mclaren has rain down

[dry tusk]

What??

[snow swan]

they quite dwindled down

[crisp mason]

france.

[remote knoll]

What?

[dry tusk]

3 seasons ago btw

[snow swan]

after the break, Ferrari for some reason went cooking

[crisp mason]

huh?

that was not 3 seasons ago...

.no

[dry tusk]

Just because he made one error does not mean that he is error prone

[remote knoll]

what

wdym one error

[crisp mason]

https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/-nlT1_xVLy6PxR6suubO8SaOWjyWpPjsG13Wh1E0AVM/https/media.tenor.com/2tby40X3eTEAAAPo/charles-leclerc-leclerc.mp4

[stable galleon]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[remote knoll]

and when did I say he is error prone

[crisp mason]

didnt know that was 3 years ago

[snow swan]

The other teams upgrades went crap, Ferrari may or may have not made any upgrades are fast for some reason

[crisp mason]

all upgrades are public so

[dry tusk]

Sorry i misinterpreted your words

[snow swan]

well Ferrari have none

i think the existing set up still works for them

[remote knoll]

actually I take back what I said

[dry tusk]

2022,2023 and 2024

[crisp mason]

was it not 2023?

[remote knoll]

It was 2022

[dry tusk]

We werent even racing in france in 23 genius

[snow swan]

there was no French GP last year

[crisp mason]

oh 😭

i didnt care much about last year cos it was so boring

[snow swan]

plus that car you showed its a 2022 Ferrari F1-75 car btw

[crisp mason]

like honestly, most boring f1 season ever

[remote knoll]

I'm not gonna doubt Leclerc but I would like to see how he handles Max's racecraft

[crisp mason]

max is the best driver on the grid right now

[dry tusk]

We have seen it in 2019 and 2022

And in 23 vegas

[snow swan]

well obviously but the best car no

[crisp mason]

no?

[remote knoll]

Austria 2019 🥶

[dry tusk]

If anyone knows how to race max its only leclerc

[crisp mason]

mclaren has the best car lol

[snow swan]

Its already confusing which team has the best car right now

[crisp mason]

its mclaren.

ferrari close behind then redbull

[snow swan]

Is it Redbull, Mclaren, Ferrari or what

[crisp mason]

no.

[remote knoll]

and lewis

[crisp mason]

mclaren ferrari redbull

[remote knoll]

bro has been sleeping during the races

[crisp mason]

and former teammates

[dry tusk]

Gave him his own medicine in 2019 silverstone 😙

[snow swan]

can't even watch the GP's early in the morning

[remote knoll]

got taken out by Vettel anyway

[dry tusk]

Ehhh no whenever lewis and max race they usually collide

[crisp mason]

it is possible to watch them after its live

[dry tusk]

Even leclerc and max have collided

[snow swan]

meh its boring if its replay

[crisp mason]

how

[remote knoll]

fr

Live is just better

brb I'm doing a race

[snow swan]

I might watch the Las Vegas GP since its 2pm for me that day

[crisp mason]

yea but whats wrong with watching after?

[remote knoll]

not as exciting

[crisp mason]

how?

[snow swan]

Fast forward to see the winner

[crisp mason]

bruh

then just dont?

[snow swan]

Trust me, I hate replays, I want Live races

[crisp mason]

brother

so youd rather not watch the race at all

if you cant watch live.

[snow swan]

there's no point if I search F1 in google to see the winner

[crisp mason]

bro.

then dont???

i dont get it

you dont have to see who won to watch it after its live

[snow swan]

its very lazy to watch the whole replay

[lavish ore]

i get it

[crisp mason]

youre literally just finding reasons to not watch the sport

atp why be a fan if youre not gonna watch it

[lavish ore]

seeing the race live you're there with them, the excitement and shock is all fresh. If you're rewatching it doesn't feel the same, everything has already happened and it's not as exciting

[crisp mason]

well its not rewatching, its just watching after the live broadcast if you missed it

[lavish ore]

yeah that's what i mean

[snow swan]

I don't find the fun if watching the replays alright

[lavish ore]

i never watch the full replays, takes up too much time and it's not as exciting

[snow swan]

I find it fun if the race is live and I can watch it with my friends live as well

[lavish ore]

same, i always watch with a friend

[snow swan]

and yes what Kato said its also a waste of time watching a replay race instead of the Live race itself

[crisp mason]

see i watch for the race

[crisp mason]

but watching it live doesnt take up too much time?

what is this argument

it takes the exact same amount of time

less even cos if there is ads if red flag you can skip them

[snow swan]

i've been a fan for so long man

[crisp mason]

i know foxtel runs ads sometimes in safety car periods

especially if its like a big crash like how checo and sainz was this year but with a full safety

and takes a while to clear

[lavish ore]

it's just a different vibe

[crisp mason]

yea it might be but youre telling me if you cant watch it live youd rather not watch it at all?

what kind of logic is that

what if you miss out of an awesome race

[lavish ore]

personally i just watch highlights if i missed it live

[crisp mason]

like baku this year

i watch while im playing games or doing work

multi task

actually gonna watch mexico rn

havent been able to cos it wasnt on foxtel for some reason

[remote knoll]

The emotions are different when it's actually happening in real time

than if you're watching it back

everything already happened

[snow swan]

again, watching the replay races doesn't have the same fun when its live

[crisp mason]

that might be the case

[remote knoll]

It can still be exciting dont get me wrong but it won't match the livestream

[crisp mason]

imo its the same

[lavish ore]

yeah it's just totally different

[crisp mason]

i couldnt care if its live or not

[lavish ore]

like watching a concert after it's already happened

[snow swan]

thats your opinion

[vast lion]

yeah definitely

[crisp mason]

also what the fuck happened to radio rewind

[snow swan]

and same I watch the highlights if I never watched the live races or the inside story

[crisp mason]

like we have best of team radio for singular races but no best of the year yk

[unreal folio]

agreed

but schedule and timezones happen

[snow swan]

Yes, why waste my time watching a race that already happened

IMAGINE OUT OF NOW WHERE. RUSSEL WINS THE BRAZIL GP.

thats why I watch the highlights

[snow swan]

hmm

[lavish ore]

lewis

[snow swan]

interesting but I would want Ferrari to win the WCC

[snow swan]

HE IS WASHED. HE SHOULD RETIRE FROM THE SPORT.

[lavish ore]

if lewis wins in brazil i'll cry

[snow swan]

mate why have the number 44 on your name if you don't like lewis

plus the Mercedes cars have the same pace

[snow swan]

who said that i didnt like him? its his current form he is washed. that dosent mean that i hate him.

[snow swan]

he's not yet washed if he has the same pace as George so I wouldn't say he's washed

[lavish ore]

lewis washed yet beating his teammate and winning races

we'll see next year when he gets a competitive car

[snow swan]

mate, compare his quali performance in 2023 it was even between george and hamilton.. it was 11-11. in 2024 he just forgot how to put a single good fast lap. Only his race pace is superior to george ig.

i beleive strongly that in 2025 if hamilton dosent work on his quali pace charles leclerc would beat the shi~ out of him.

[winter forge]

in 2024 he didn’t forget lol

the mercedes tyre deg is just horrendous, even over a single lap

and lewis pushes the car to the absolute limit

[snow swan]

c'mon you have to accept i am true. no excuses.

[lavish ore]

what does quali matter if he can perform in the race and beat george anyway lol

[winter forge]

if lewis was trying to win a title then maybe he’d try fix it, but he’s not because the car isn’t good enough

[snow swan]

LEWIS HIMSELF ACCEPTED IN A INTERVIEW THIS YEAR HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. SO DONT DEFEND HIM.

[winter forge]

you can see in his wet quali laps that he is still incredible

[snow swan]

NEXT YEAR IT WOULD.

[lavish ore]

why are you so eager to shit on lewis

relax

[winter forge]

the ferrari has far better tyre wear, his pace will return

[hybrid cove]

Bruh the RNG keeps giving me the worst drivers.

[lavish ore]

he's obviously not doing as well as he used to, but he's still performing well

[snow swan]

ig nah, he himself said that he is not just good enough in a post qualifying interview this year when his teammate qualified way ahead of him.

[lavish ore]

ok? he's still beating george in the wdc lmao

[snow swan]

not with his current form.

neither i have hope tbh.

[lavish ore]

well he is

[snow swan]

hmmm. next year 2025 he would face his toughest rival charles lecrec ig. CHARLES IS A TYPE OF DRIVER WHICH DOSENT MAKES MISTAKES. HIS RACE PACE IS phenomenal AS well as the qualifying pace.

so yeah it maybe be good that lewis may beat russel this year but if he didnt improve his quali pace he would loose his reputation.

@lavish ore

why i sound like a ferrari fan. ( even though i am not.)

[snow swan]

I'll hate it when lewis tries to break Schumacher's record

Why lewis need more WDC's

IS 7 NOT ENOUGH

[lavish ore]

"doesn't make mistakes"

almost flew into a barrier 3 days ago all by himself

stop the glaze lol

lewis will have a challenge that's for sure

[snow swan]

i bet you got my point, still you're arguing me.

MARK MY WORDS NEXT YEAR LECREC WOULD BEAT THE SHI~ OUT OF HAMILTON HE IF DOSENT IMPORVE HIMSELF.

[lavish ore]

i'm disagreeing with you saying leclerc doesn't make mistakes, there's just no need to say anything like that lol

[snow swan]

trust me Hamilton will not be better than Schumacher in a Ferrari

[snow swan]

Because greatness doesn’t have a limit..

[snow swan]

the hell was that last line

I saw that

Because the ONE OF THE BEST doesn't settle for second best.

@snow swan

[snow swan]

thats why its not enough.

@snow swan

[gentle verge]

🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[stiff venture]

Wait I thought Lewis beat the old Ferrari driver’s record in 2020

[lavish ore]

i think they mean for world titles

[stiff venture]

Right, I thought Lewis overtook him in 2020.

Mind telling me any other mistake this year except austria q3????

Ironic coming from lewis fan who just binned the car in austin

[lavish ore]

doesn't matter, he does make mistakes and saying he doesn't is stupid

[dry tusk]

.

[lavish ore]

doesn't matter

[dry tusk]

Stop embarrassing yourself

[lavish ore]

hilarious

you're the one taking it like a personal insult lol

[dry tusk]

The way you talk you were very sure that he made atleast 5 more mistakes

[lavish ore]

if that's how you feel sure

[snow swan]

looks like I STARTED A WAR 💀

[dry tusk]

And he finished p2 which was the maximum result for him considering he was never comfortable in the car

[winter forge]

Ok but still an error

How about Leclerc’s crash in Hungary, FP2

And crash in Baku, FP1

[dry tusk]

Adding crashes which did not even effect his races wow

[winter forge]

Every crash matters for costcap and setup reasons

Did he win either of those races? No

So there is the potential that they hindered Ferrari’s data

[dry tusk]

So fp1 crash in Hungary couldve taken ferarri from 4th fastest to 1/2nd fastest 👍

[winter forge]

To third fastest, and maybe beat the guy in the third fastest car 👍

[lavish ore]

lmao

ask for mistakes then start making up excuses

funny people in chat today

[snow swan]

yeah.

[dry tusk]

Last time i checked he finished ahead of verstappen

[winter forge]

He was in the second fastest car, nice try

Okay buddy

[compact cove]

if i had to think of a recent incident or smth of leclerc not doing well, it wasnt even him making mistakes. but i think of baku because he spent like half the race or smth chasing piastri but not getting any moves in (still salty about it ngl)

[lilac nova]

SPR RA WE
INT CE EK

[winter forge]

Can’t thing of a single reason that may have caused Red Bull’s tyres to completely die

[snow swan]

yeah, fs it is.

Imagine max and lando enter 2024 ABU DHABI WITH THE SAME POINTS.

IT WOULD BE INTERESTING.

[crisp mason]

me think checo blind

[crisp mason]

2021 type shit

if lando does lose by 1 point tho itll make me sad cos it means daniel is the reason, max would still win tho cos more race wins this season

so if they end the season on same points that means daniel would be the reason in singapore

[snow swan]

What would they do if max and lando are with same points after the end of abu dhabi also??

[crisp mason]

whoever has most wins in the season

wins wdc

if same wins then most p2

and if same p2 then most podiums

[snow swan]

k

[winter forge]

countback

whoever has the most wins

[crisp mason]

i just said this 😭

im watching mexico rn and carlos cut t3 on lap 10

he only barely cut it but still cut it

[snow swan]

i just checked. the both have 12 podiums and max has 7 wins and lando have 3 wins.

[crisp mason]

yes

[snow swan]

imagine lando wins all the races.

[crisp mason]

4 races left right?

[snow swan]

that would makes things interesting.

[crisp mason]

but its also whoever has more p2

i think max has more p2

and if lando wins all races max can get 4 more p2

so i doubt itll go that far in it

i highly doubt itll even be same points after AD

at the smallest itll be 10 point diff

[snow swan]

is their any chance just like 2014 to spice thigns up fia awards double points in the last race?

[winter forge]

Lando has more

[crisp mason]

oh he does? how many more

[crisp mason]

doubt they would

wait.

[snow swan]

tbh, thats a possibility.

[crisp mason]

the 2nd time max pushed lando off in mexico he almost clipped landos front left.

[winter forge]

2 more

[crisp mason]

i see

so genuinely the only reason max is ahead is the wins

and even if he had 1 win more he would be p2 in standings

man how can you have a under double your teammates points in a top 3 car and still be employed.

i worded that so wrong

how can your teammate have over double your points in a top 3 can and you still be employed

[snow swan]

checo helps rb with merch so~~

[crisp mason]

they care more about wdc than wcc

[vestal lintel]

And sponsors

[crisp mason]

stupid team

[vestal lintel]

money talks

[crisp mason]

it doesnt matter, checo is hurting the team more than helping

this just means the team doesnt get wcc money

only way checo is helping is sponsors and getting them more wind tunnel time

[vestal lintel]

if sponsors will pay difference of wcc money then redbull wont mind

[snow swan]

he would most probably be replaced with liam ig,

[crisp mason]

hope checo is dropped after abu dhabi.

[snow swan]

OR EARLIER MAYBE~~

[crisp mason]

he should have been dropped for daniel at belgium.

[vestal lintel]

depends on how much is buy out fee is

[crisp mason]

no he has a clause in his contract

[snow swan]

nah daniel is washed washed he deserved it tbh, even though i like daniel.

[crisp mason]

if he underperforms he can be dropped

[crisp mason]

was still their best option 💀

daniel would have done better

[vestal lintel]

for rest of 24 possibly but not for 2025

[crisp mason]

no his contract literally has a termination clause

[snow swan]

SEE IF I WOULD BE A RB CHEIF, I WOULD CONSIDER FRANCO GIVING A SHOT.

[vestal lintel]

have you seen it

[crisp mason]

if he under performs like he is, they have the right to terminate his contract

[crisp mason]

its what has been said

[dreamy jay]

someone repost this

[vestal lintel]

what has been said is not facts

[crisp mason]

how many points behind was checo at belgium? (behind max)

https://www.si.com/fannation/racing/f1briefings/news/f1-news-red-bull-insider-speaks-out-on-sergio-perez-contract-break-clause-01j2k1qd8g19#:~:text=It is believed the clause,before the season's summer break

oh 😭

L site

hold on

[vestal lintel]

"believed"

speculation not fact

[crisp mason]

https://au.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-says-perez-form-unsustainable-with-f1-contract-clause-set-to-kick-in/10632970/ here we go

[snow swan]

it would have happened if daniel's form was good.

[vestal lintel]

i doubt checco will allow him self to be sacked early w/o some extra money

[snow swan]

checo would most probably be replaced by daniel by now, if daniel's form was good.

[crisp mason]

his form would have been good if vcarb wasnt inconsistent

[crisp mason]

lmao he can be sacked rn

[snow swan]

nah.

[crisp mason]

the team just cares more about money

[crisp mason]

fym "nah"

[snow swan]

he has been given many chances.

[crisp mason]

the team is inconsistent

many???

he barely got to race last season

[snow swan]

2021 mcl. we have seen it. he got a oppurtunity with mcl to return but can't make it.

[crisp mason]

in 2021 he was on form

ive said it MULTIPLE times, he said himself, he struggled adapting to new regs

[snow swan]

got outpaced by lando and replaced by oscar who is performing better ig.

[winter forge]

in 2021, was he ever really on form

[crisp mason]

yes?

multiple podiums and win

[snow swan]

well it dosent explain why in almost all of the races his team mate qualifies ahead of him and gives a better result.

[winter forge]

Multiple?

[snow swan]

MULTIPLE?

[crisp mason]

mb, was thinking of 2020

[snow swan]

SINGLE PODIUM AND WIN.

[winter forge]

Quali h2h and race h2h both ended 15-7 in favour of norris

Equal number of dnfs

[crisp mason]

yea its because lando is a better driver, doesnt make daniel shit

[snow swan]

YOU GOTTA BE THE BEST TO SURVIVE IN F1.

THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.

[crisp mason]

daniel was definitely one of the better drivers in 2021

[winter forge]

other than the guys out the sport, who was he actually better than

[snow swan]

favouritism on its peak fr.

[winter forge]

Stroll and Tsunoda? Thats probably it

[old rivet]

Or did you mean. SURVIVAL OF THE DRIVEST?

🥁

[snow swan]

vsauce music begins.

[vestal lintel]

he had a 13yr time in f1 and made lots. he will be sad thats hes out of f1 but not super down

[proven leaf]

I HAVE IT PRINTED OUT

[crisp mason]

???

[crisp mason]

latifi? mick? kevin?

[snow swan]

google it.

[winter forge]

Magnussen wasn’t on the grid lol

[crisp mason]

there is no way you think those 3 did better than daniel in 2022

[winter forge]

Oh 2022?

[crisp mason]

you sure?

[winter forge]

I was replying to a point about 2021

[crisp mason]

oh

[dreamy jay]

i have it, i have it printed out.

[old rivet]

[crisp mason]

even so

[winter forge]

If we’re talking 2022, I genuinely don’t think there’s a driver currently on the grid he was better than

[crisp mason]

george? mick? latifi? mazespin? giovinazzi?

like man

[winter forge]

George 💀💀💀

[crisp mason]

he was doing better

[snow swan]

they were driving far worse cars dude.

[winter forge]

are you referring to 2021 george russell who put a williams on the front row

[crisp mason]

a single quali lap

[winter forge]

2021 george russell who put his Williams in third… in the dry

[crisp mason]

where did he end that race?

[winter forge]

Second

[crisp mason]

so his only points

[winter forge]

nope

[crisp mason]

actually thats not even possible

he had 16 points in 2021

p2 is 18

[winter forge]

do you know what happened in the race russell qualified second

[crisp mason]

honestly i dont remember

so where did he finish that race

[winter forge]

it was absolutely torrential rain for both qualifying and the main race

[snow swan]

podium p3.

[winter forge]

they did 3 laps behind the safety car and called it a day

so, he finished second

[snow swan]

ahh yeah in belgium

[crisp mason]

ok so it wasnt even a race

[winter forge]

well he qualified in second sooo…

[crisp mason]

yea

any car could be put in 2nd

[snow swan]

why you sound a bit annoying tbh? no offence btw.

[crisp mason]

you just need to put in a good lap or have rain

[winter forge]

the 9th fastest car??

[crisp mason]

yea?

anything is possible lmao

[winter forge]

You’ll never guess which car had the pace for pole

And didn’t take it

[crisp mason]

george also did the most laps in quali

giving him the best chance

[winter forge]

okay but he was in the ninth fastest car

[snow swan]

source- TRUST ME BRO.

[dry tusk]

No of laps have absolutely no relation with being faster in rain lol

[crisp mason]

id also say he outperformed ocon in 2021 too

[crisp mason]

??? no its literally true

from the f1 site itself

24 laps in quali

[winter forge]

ocon had two standout drives that make his season better

[crisp mason]

gives you more chances to get a better lap.

[winter forge]

the guy randomly got involved in hamilton vs verstappen

[crisp mason]

its basic math

oh yikes

[winter forge]

idk if you can tell from the timing screens but clearly laps in Q1 and Q2 had no impact on laps in Q3

[dry tusk]

By your logic ocon should be atleast p5

[crisp mason]

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.alpine-and-honda-to-pay-fines-after-accepting-procedural-breaches-of-f1.SshK5ryAyTDl8o9LaJyGy.html

[winter forge]

like the track was completely different from Q2 to Q3

[crisp mason]

thats not how it works, more laps = higher chance

it doesnt mean it WILL happen

just means it CAN happen

but ig you dont know how basic math works 😭

[crisp mason]

wait so the current engines? or for 2026 regs

it does say about 2026 but it doesnt say it is for 2026

[snow swan]

More laps don't mean better results, just like more noise doesn’t make a Karen any smarter.

[winter forge]

pretty sure everyone did the same number of laps in Q3

bar vettel who did one extra as he was released before norris crashed

[crisp mason]

basic statistics tho. if you do more laps you have a better chance of improving

[snow swan]

IN THE SAME RACE THEN ACCORDING TO YOUr METH, SORRY MATHS OCON, GASSLY,VETTEL SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME RESULT THEN? THEy ALSO DID 23 LAPS.

[crisp mason]

once again. that is NOT how it works

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD CHANCE MEANS

MORE LAPS = BETTER CHANCE

DOESNT MEAN THEY WILL

HOLY SHIT

[snow swan]

1 lap really?

[crisp mason]

yep.

1 lap can change alot.

[winter forge]

can you please explain how doing more laps in different conditions affects qualifying performance

[snow swan]

tf. i am out of here.

[crisp mason]

please just say you dont understand basic maths. please.

[snow swan]

i understand maths not meth.

[crisp mason]

why are we talking about meth?????

no one said it.

[snow swan]

@crisp mason

[crisp mason]

yea?

you said you dont understand meth?

[winter forge]

no but how do laps in DIFFERENT CONDITIONS make a difference

different braking points, different places you can apply throttle

[crisp mason]

holy fuck.

im out. i cant.

[snow swan]

hope you would have studied a bit more, and understood about complexites rather than doing simple statistics. there are may factors especially in a f1 qualifying lap like whether, tyre degradation and more. so more laps dosent mean a better result.
and yeah please stop doing meth instead of maths.

DONT WANT TO ARGUE FURTHER.

[crisp mason]

why the fuck do you keep bringing up meth.

[snow swan]

Because your math skills are more addictive than the real thing,

[fossil goblet]

Fr

[crisp mason]

i did give the source

[fossil goblet]

More laps by no means mean a better result.. what it means is - you have a better understanding of the track grip

[crisp mason]

not happening

not responding

[fossil goblet]

No need

[crisp mason]

i will just say, i never said it means you will

[fossil goblet]

You still respond..

[crisp mason]

.

[crisp mason]

.

[fossil goblet]

Is this spa 2021 we're talking about?

[crisp mason]

mhm

[fossil goblet]

In those conditions no. of laps meant nothing

After the red flag there was not a lot of time

Russel himself said he tried going differently into T1 (like Lando did, cause he say his onboards) and he was just fast

It was all "experimental" in those last laps

[tame kiln]

how do i get roles for who i support?

[gentle verge]

In the channels and roles section near the top of the discord

[tame kiln]

oh thx

im blind haha

[fossil goblet]

Check where the servers name is written

Just under it you'll find channel and roles

[tame kiln]

yea i've done it now thanks (;

[gentle verge]

:)

[tough bough]

Max penalty will be 5grid, confirmed?

Or could it be more severe?

[keen skiff]

https://youtu.be/0Z6_Oj_h2yQ?si=g9NNmbMuKhhLDKn2

[snow swan]

for a new engine its 5 places

[polar star]

So he cant terrorise lando now

[waxen siren]

for a few laps

[lilac nova]

HOW, HOW the performance-related clause is NOT YET ACTIVATED?? Delusional stuff on both sides.

Absolute circus

[crisp mason]

this is what im saying

they care more about the money than a world title

[lilac nova]

[snow swan]

oh but he will (hes going to divebomb T1 and send it into the chassis of Lando taking him out and himself)

[remote helm]

is it official if verstappen will have a grid penalty in Brazil?

[snow swan]

Idk

I was about to ask the same thing

[stone topaz]

you'll know when it happens

or if it doesn't

[formal trail]

hi

[remote knoll]

true

[gleaming dagger]

RIP AUDI

FERRARI IS BACK

The curse is gone

[zealous ginkgo]

its real

[gentle verge]

5 places smh

Hardly a penalty at all for him lol

[wooden kettle]

5 places isnt bad for max

lmao

[tough bough]

most likely will be behind both Ferraris, McLarens and Mercedes. It's actualy a bigger penalty than it seems

[stiff bough]

permitted he can get past the mercs in the first stint, then he's set for the remainder of the race

[gentle verge]

Yeah idk I’ll believe it when i see it actually hindering him 😆

Especially if it’s gonna be a wet race

[grim egret]

so sad

[polar star]

Idk the last stint in mexico max was slower than the mercs

[faint bison]

I take evryone in a 1V1

[remote knoll]

Pause?

[dawn moon]

just putting it out there, there’s a chance of rain during the race

[stable galleon]

Hopefully

Then Carlos gets another win🔥

Is it actually gonna rain?

[thin berry]

Charles not gonna let him win twice in a row

[thin berry]

The way I cackled when I saw this

[clever raven]

https://youtu.be/V3H94dMDEUY?si=l-YZDEes6Yw0XTfe

[clever raven]

Maybe in sunday

Potentially saturday

[keen skiff]

Only a 5 grid place Penalty and a fresh new engine. He could make a move on sprint/race day.

[echo urchin]

It would be bad if he qualifies anything lower than p3

[gentle verge]

Yeah maybe

[sly badger]

Forecast says rain during all weekend

[urban zenith]

will max take the pen for the sprint

[gentle verge]

Are you allowed to do that

[sly badger]

Nope,a penalty can only be applied for the race

[gentle verge]

I was gonna say that would be such a cheesy way to get out of it

[urban zenith]

aw

[sly badger]

Also yes,Max will have to take a penalty

The race engine meant for Mexico is bad and Max had to use a engine meant for FPs for the race,which is why Max clocked 3km/h less than Checo and a bit more to Lando at the speed traps of the race

[gentle verge]

😳

Chemko

Get rid of that goomber

[ancient tundra]

Sauber ftw

[keen skiff]

Please let there be rain, I want another knife fight of a grand prix like in Mexico

[gentle verge]

Finally someone said it

No more dunking on my man Zhou

[ancient tundra]

Im a big Sauber fan so yes

Its part of the plan

2026 🗣️🗣️

[gentle verge]

you gotta have a strong will to be last place every race for the whole season. He might be the strongest on the grid

And guess what

Bro keeps his head up and keeps going

Ain’t nobody like him 🗣️

[ancient tundra]

Real

[gentle verge]

One day he will get what is owed

[ancient tundra]

2073 world champion for sure

[gentle verge]

💀

Bro I’m gonna be 76

Zhou’s grandchildren

[winged dagger]

I heard he is being dropped after Brazil?

[wooden kettle]

rumors.
it makes no sense to drop checo this late in the season anyways. there's not much a better teammate, if they even had one ready to go, can do.

[gentle verge]

We can only hope

But if they wait till the end of the season they can give him a better send off than ricciardo

[winged dagger]

im still mad how rb sent daniel off

even renault and mclaren gave better send offs

[thin berry]

McLaren’s was hypocrite and a poor attempt at cleaning up the PR disaster they’d created when posting about how Daniel “wasn’t going anywhere” right after they’d signed Piastri

At least with Vcarb he knew in advance

[gentle verge]

Oh damn that’s before my time

Didn’t know about that part

[wet sequoia]

Yeah Ricciardo had a 3 year contract, only did 2 and got paid out for the 3rd

[craggy zenith]

nice chunky $18 mil

[wet sequoia]

Hey he has a large ranch still winning

[craggy zenith]

yep

now he can just ride 110cc bikes on his ranch, kick back

and i dunno, marry his girlfriend or something

[wet sequoia]

Start making babies as Verstappen put it in his Australian interview

[craggy zenith]

i mean, he's not wrong

birth rate's going down

need more future F1 drivers

[wet sequoia]

See if he does NASCAR or not

[queen orbit]

real

[queen orbit]

so real

[winged dagger]

we don’t have many fathers in the grid right

checo, kmag

hulkenberg

who else

seb is a father but hes not on the grid

[craggy zenith]

he was when he was on the grid

i mean a lot of the drivers are pretty young and not married

not that you have to be married nowadays but regardless

Kids are a big commitment

and there's the whole racing is dangerous aspect

[craggy zenith]

so there's this concept called time

[azure isle]

guh

verstappen 2016 masterclass

[plain ember]

Hopefully

I think he clinch title in vegas

Or qatar

[queen orbit]

RIP birth rate

[craggy zenith]

I'm doing my part

[cold solar]

[loud hornet]

Type shit

[proven leaf]

Real

[azure isle]

watch verstappen pull a 2021 on norris

[round bobcat]

He definitely will, as he showed in Austin and Mexico that's all he can do to keep his competitors away from him in the championship

[azure isle]

literally 2021 all over again

same people who hated hamilton and loved verstappen in 21 shouldn't switch up now

[round bobcat]

Indubitably 🤓👆

[round bobcat]

They've become even more passionate 🤡

[azure isle]

thing is I like verstappen

he's a brilliant racer

like top 10

along with raikkonen and senna and schumi

but he's like the latter 2

I wouldn't doubt he'd purposefully crash norris for a championship

[gentle verge]

[wicked wing]

i love max, dont get me wrong, its just that his driving in mexico seemed like he didnt care

[azure isle]

his driving in any championship

[desert sundial]

He left Norris pretty shook I actually felt bad for the guy

[azure isle]

Norris is a nice guy also

[wicked wing]

it was a dumb move,

[azure isle]

I think he isn't used to the pressure

just another f1 season into a title fight

[wicked wing]

lando is a great dude, he can get a little cocky on the track but who doesnt

[round bobcat]

I'm not gonna lie and say he's a bad driver like half of the population, but his methods are...interesting, I don't think he realizes there are other means of winning championships

[azure isle]

really want to just see a title fight with battles like leclerc and verstappen 2022

[wicked wing]

max or lando

[round bobcat]

Max

[azure isle]

instead of verstappen using his "back off or we crash" strategy

[wicked wing]

yup
