lewis could've potentially won in vegas if there were more laps but

[red trail]

Don’t u dare dox my Lewis bro

[sharp veldt]

lewis will be back in the top 4 of the wdc next season trust. merc was shit (not shit shit. just not good) in 2023 and he was still p3 💀

[red trail]

Lulu for wdc 2025 trust

[sharp veldt]

2025 is ferrari's year (i'm delusional)

[twin fox]

I am kinda sad Fernando and Bottas didn't do donuts with lewis, I was hoping to see that.
Like a recreation of what lewis and seb did for fernando.

[red trail]

Average Ferrari fan 😎 (I’m joining the gang soon ) 💪

[valid drum]

intresting

[sharp veldt]

everyone was allowed to do donuts, but apparently accotding to race notes the main straight was reserved for lewis

[red trail]

Where did u see that

[sharp veldt]

i know what they mean but that's still hilariously unclear. imagine you don't know shit about f1 and you see this

[fast fable]

Also... McClaren.

[molten gazelle]

Bro Kmag sounds so sad in his post-race interview 😥

[red trail]

He shouldn’t retire bro

[sharp veldt]

it was in the f1 race notes. let me find the doc for you - it specifically specifies once the race is over, 44 is supposed to report there for donuts and stuff

[inland pawn]

its fixed now

[twin fox]

So no one was allowed to do donuts on the straight other than lewis?

[red trail]

I guess so

yes. it specifies only top 3 cars + lewis report

all four can then choose to do donuts. lewis is the only driver outside of top 3 who could do donuts at any point

[twin fox]

Oh, top 3 + lewis only

[fast fable]

Guanyu also did donuts.

[timber ridge]

who were all on podium

[sharp veldt]

so like if lewis came in p10 he still could do donuts there, hut if charles came p4 he couldn't on the main straight.

zhou did them off to the side at a different point of track

[fresh carbon]

norris
sainz
leclerc

[twin fox]

That's such a missed opportunity to recreate this

[sharp veldt]

yeah, everyone was allowed . guanyu just couldn't do it on the main straight with the top 3 drivers unless he actually podiumed

[fresh carbon]

zhoudium

[sharp veldt]

i'd die if seb came back and did donuts with lewis

[sinful granite]

nah redbull was top car until imola,
but also had the fastest car in Canada, Austria, Belgium and Qatar

[red trail]

top 3 + lewis not only lewis they didnt say only car 44 to do donuts there

[twin fox]

That would be so fucking amazing 😍

[sharp veldt]

until miami as in they stopped being fastest at miami

[sinful granite]

mclaren was not faster than redbull at miami

[timber ridge]

damn it. what were alpines positions (i swear if im told they dnfed )

[sharp veldt]

race pace oscar would've beaten max even before max ran over the bollard

[torpid charm]

hate to break it tto you..

[timber ridge]

NO WAY

[sharp veldt]

yeah. lewis is just the only non-podium finishing driver to be allowed to do donuts there under any circumstances

[red trail]

p7 and p 15

[torpid charm]

im jst kidding no dnfs for alpine

[sharp veldt]

i wish both valtteri and zhou got to do donuts together tho

[red trail]

fia finally doing a good W for lewis and mercedes bro // valtteri got so unlucky with that lockup i wanted to see he might have done donuts

[sinful granite]

mate both the mclarens were outqualified by 2 redbulls and 2 ferraris.
plus just because verstappen doesnt win by 10 seconds, doesnt mean he doesnt have the fastest car. you can still have the fastest car but be slower to the 2nd fastest car

[timber ridge]

yyippee 7th place

[torpid charm]

i think they would but valtteri crashed

[sharp veldt]

it would've been more beautiful if valtteri and lewis did donuts together imo - valtter as his send off from F1 and lewis as he prepares to leave behind merc

[red trail]

exactlyyyy it wouldve been soooo iconiccc

[sharp veldt]

they prob would've at a different part of the track, but yeah, valtteri crashing rly fucked it up (rip kmag). would've loved kmag donuts too but his car was damaged

i think if kmag's car wasn't fucked by the car they would've let kmag do donuts to commemorate his 7 yrs with haas tho. i'm glad they let him get the fastest lap

[red trail]

im sobbing

[sharp veldt]

i wasn't saying that "because verstappen didn't win by 10 seconds he didn't have the fastest car." he quite literally had the fastest car in the sprint, but when they made changes to the car, he was no longer the fastest car on track. he was about equal to if not a tiny bit slower than mclaren race pace wise - the bollard damage made him slower

[sharp veldt]

reminds me of mclaren when carlos went to ferrari

is this like a thing now where u @ferrari and ask them to take care of ur ex driver 😭 it reminds me of a retirement home im so fr

[frank glen]

My time as a Mercedes fan has come to end

Lewis and Mercedes will leave a huge impact that no team can ever rival again

[sharp veldt]

I heard that Lewis is going to be testing an old Ferrari in Fiorano before pre-season testing.

He delivered a champion level drive. Drive without mistakes under pressure

[cerulean spoke]

Best Lando race imo

[twin fox]

Exactly. It was an amazing performance. imo this is his best win.

[proven leaf]

Like he can maintain pole now.

[red trail]

bro why is it so small he can barely steer i js saw it

[twin fox]

He has improved his starts alot. Both Qatar sprint and race starts were very good, today's start was amazing as well.

[proven leaf]

Yup

[lilac rose]

Verstappen still had a better start

[sullen ridge]

that's also verstappen having a car better suited to him and being better at starts?

haha it is easy not to crash when the car is slow. But 100%.

they rescued that season really well though

[fallen junco]

Max wasn’t allowed to do donuts or did he do?

Lando Norris back to Twitch stream era

Checo finish his 2024 Season in 8th Place in the Drivers Championship. Same Position he ended his 2018 Season with Racing Point (Force India)

When was the car reveal btw

[long tusk]

It just feels like it was a week ago when we got to know about Lewis leaving merc and joining Ferrari ( February )

And still can't believe he won't be there anymore driving for silver arrows

[neat fern]

Felt like it was a bad choice back then doesnt feel like that anymore

Red Bull replacing Sergio Perez isn't gonna be that Simple

So his punishment is playing with cars and helping newer racers dosnt sound so bad imo

[urban spade]

No freaking way, this is undeniable proof that F1 is rigged

[acoustic bramble]

it’s just a coincidence… right?

[tired jungle]

Tff

[tight grotto]

I might be biased but I see Lando and McLaren dominating

[neat fern]

Wouldn’t say dominating but If Ferraris car isn’t the fastest or close to probably

[tight grotto]

I see red bull cooking

A stinker

[neat fern]

There’s no way

They will be fighting for 3rd prolly

[tight grotto]

All there best staff leaving I don’t see them putting out a good car

Mercedes vs Red bull is back

In the midfield 😭😭

[neat fern]

Hahahahah real think McLaren and Ferrari will be fighting

[tight grotto]

But if red bull are shit next year max either leaves or retires

[neat fern]

I would love to see a Lewis 2025 Wdc but wouldn’t mind a lando one though

[tight grotto]

I don’t see Lewis winning next year

A few races maybe

But nah

[neat fern]

Think Oscar has big chance too

[tight grotto]

I see Kimi Antonelli winning a race

[neat fern]

Depends

[tight grotto]

He’s too inconsistent in my opinion

I mean he’s been very consistent

[neat fern]

And lando isn’t?

[tight grotto]

But like yk what I mean where’s hes been a fair bit off his team mate this season Exept the occasional race

[neat fern]

Yh but Oscar had the second best rookie season after Lewis

[tight grotto]

I rate Oscar highly he’s just not always fighting at the top at every race like Lando

[hushed olive]

oscar has been undeperforming in these last races

except qatar

[tight grotto]

I’m trying not to sound biased

[neat fern]

I mean lando has been underperforming mid season ngl

[tight grotto]

If Lando fixed his consistency and mentality he’ll win next year

[neat fern]

Depends if they got the car or not

I favor Ferrari

But idk

We’ll see

[tight grotto]

If he reflects on this season and figures what to improve and what he did right he will be the favourite

I don’t see Lewis performing in the Ferrari

[neat fern]

If Ferrari has the better car I really think Lewis is the champion

[cinder thicket]

Gonna watch the race now 😅

[tight grotto]

I think age will catch up to Lewis

[neat fern]

Bottas won

[cinder thicket]

No spoilers

[neat fern]

Mb

[tight grotto]

Sauber 1-2

Perez podium

[cinder thicket]

It's okay, my gf was in the grandstands. She already gave me the lowdown ha

[tight grotto]

Your girl is a keeper

[neat fern]

I mean Lewis isn’t in his prime but is still a great driver

[tight grotto]

He’s great but I think his time has come sadly

[neat fern]

And if he’s got the car he will perform and try which he hasn’t in merc and been under prioritized

[tight grotto]

I sense a total collapse of Mercedes coming

[tight grotto]

Tbh they had to prioritise Russel cause he’s the future for Mercedes and the team leader now

[barren bronze]

still he rises duuuuuhh

[neat fern]

Ik why they did that but that’s the reason if we look at 18th to 4th and Vegas 10th to 2nd

Singapore for example why would merc put ham on softs like what

[tight grotto]

Mercedes became Ferrari this year

They swapped

I don't think so

Oscar show very inconsistent in the end, it start at Texas

First sign of red flag

[arctic turret]

2025 will be crucial for Mercedes to see can they still done well, now with Russell become lead drivers

I think they might success, but let's see

[thorny lynx]

That's normal, everyone has inconsistent days

But its normal only if is sometimes

When does this channel close

[craggy marsh]

he’s definitely gonna have a mechanical failure in australia next year

[ruby cairn]

first non champ to do it

[torn meteor]

Okay so who is gonna make that drowing meme?

[thin berry]

It doesn’t, it just changes to fit F1 current events

[raw plaza]

Imo the season finale should be in Brazil or Las Vegas

Both tracks good for overtakes

it delivers a good race every year

but ig more revenue from Abu Dhabi

[misty silo]

eh i like abu dhabi

its a fun race to watch despite the "lack" of overtakes

when there are overtakes they are mental

[raw plaza]

nah Brazil is way more fun

or Las Vegas too

[misty silo]

i guess brazil would be chill

but las vegas nah

[raw plaza]

Atleast there are opportunities to fight for wins with Abu Dhabi being a one stop or very less chance of safety car it isn’t very entertaining

[raw plaza]

Las Vegas had the most overtakes

[misty silo]

but the venue just doesnt seem right for a season closer

[raw plaza]

Idk abt u but a race without overtakes isn’t that entertaining

[raw plaza]

Hmmm

[misty silo]

obviously but the american crowd barely understands the sport as an american myself

[raw plaza]

Abu Dhabi is probably there for the revenue coz Brazil used to be the closer b4 Abu Dhabi

[misty silo]

i think brazils crowd is great actually i wouldn't mind it

plus logistically it could be better

swap las vegas and brazil in the triple headers

[raw plaza]

idc abt crowd Abu Dhabi is the closer just coz of the revenue f1 is getting

But from a fan pov to end a season Brazil will be much better

Maybe not from f1 financially

But it’s a money sport

so yea

[misty silo]

so the end of the season would be COTA, Mexico City, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Brazil

or

actually logistically thats the best

[raw plaza]

Abi Dhabi is not a bad track or the best

It’s just mid

[misty silo]

i agree

i like it tho

[wet sequoia]

Abu Dhabi is just the last race and usually has drama surrounding it

[raw plaza]

obv at night the track seems alive

[raw plaza]

Not much from prev years no only 21

and yday apart from lap 1 it wasn’t a dramatic race

[misty silo]

i thought today was actually really entertaining

[misty silo]

yes it has been theres always been some transfer drama or constructor battle at the end

this year was doohan, and perez's ending place

and ferrari v mclaren

[queen orbit]

abu dhabi is actually not that bad as a track

ever since 2021

[queen orbit]

it had potential to become a banger

[misty silo]

you know wheel

[thin berry]

That’s the Charles leclerc effect

Also the last race of the season effect

[grave cosmos]

Man United is close to relegation as we speak

[regal needle]

Morning Team! 97 Days until it's 2025 Season

Tomorrow is the Abu Dhabi Test

[tepid latch]

Its terrible

[queen orbit]

Why tho

[tepid latch]

A pitstop race track is not a good track

[queen orbit]

we saw tons of overtakes during this years race esp around turn 9

[tepid latch]

Excluding the overtakes by Lewis and Charles there were not that many.

[sage verge]

this tbh

id rather prefer singapore over abu dhabi ngl

[civic snow]

When will mclaren hold the constructors championship trophy

[sage verge]

they just did

yesterday

[high flare]

Does anybody know the reason checo had to retire so early did his accident cause a lot of damage?

[misty silo]

i dont think so

[misty silo]

this i think ill check his onboard rn

nvm i cant its been off for some reason

wtf

i dont think they ever turned on his onboard

could be suspension damage

[stiff bough]

yeah they never turned on his onboard

strange.

[gusty sparrow]

oh yea

[misty silo]

could be a simple mistake tbh but i havent seen that before

[grave cosmos]

Max to Ferrari?

[regal needle]

It'll happen in the Future

Let's let Lewis drive for Ferrari first

In the Future, He will probably drive alongside another Teammate in Ferrari Later

[timber oxide]

He had a problem with the PU since the start

The hit from bottas just gave the last push for the PU to die

Same problem from last week

Wonder how ppl thought bout the next champions those days Seb won 4 and Ham only had 1 nd went to Merc of all the places , mustve thought Seb wud be the one to equal or get higher than Schumi nd Ham nd Merc happened

[charred nacelle]

the devils has called

[kindred cedar]

zak made a deal with the devil

[grave cosmos]

https://youtu.be/WoxAycq2oSY?si=Dy5djSbnizw5Ly3Q Max Verstappen own this song

[golden sentinel]

I rlly hope that merc tries to get sainz into the merc and antonelli in the Williams

[snow swan]

Would be crazy

But I don't think williams wants that deal they really want to be their own team

[barren rock]

Max was disqualified from race?

[raven wagon]

Why would they do that

[golden sentinel]

Bcs sainz is actually good i dont think its smart to put a guy with so little experience in a merc

In fact I don’t think kimi should be in f1 for 2025 at all

2026 would be better I believe

[raven wagon]

2025 is gonna be a warm up year for Antonelli anyway

Preps him for 2026

[narrow garnet]

no? what made you think that?

[gleaming dagger]

Hello

[desert snow]

It’s gonna be a lesson learned for merc if kimi fucks up next year to stop bringing literal children to the sport before they’re ready

[gleaming dagger]

They should've hired Sainz.

Antonelli has no F1 experience at all.

We have no idea if he will keep performing like that.

[grave cosmos]

Prob Bottas returns

Bottas is a Mercedes reserve driver

They want to focus on George Russell

[desert snow]

And it’s not just because I’m biased and I love sainz
It’s cuz the merc car needs a person with experience to know how to deal with an inconsistent car
And who better than a guy that drove a Ferrari

[gleaming dagger]

Despite all the market stock rise and all hype for 2025 (I'm going to get hated for this), Sainz deserves that Ferrari seat more than Hamilton.

[desert snow]

I really hope Hamilton outplays Charles
Cuz if he doesn’t and Charles ends up favored by the team and Ferrari turns out not to be his last chance for a 8th wcc then it would be such a big waste for Ferrari to drop Carlos

[gleaming dagger]

Hamilton's current form makes me think he will flop there.

Leclerc's consistency this season has been on rails, his best season career-wise.

[desert snow]

As much as I love Hamilton
As much as I’m worried he might not actually make it great in Ferrari
But I’m excited to see how everything will turn out

[raw plaza]

Charles and max were seen partying together yday lmao

[raven wagon]

They alr have George whos been there for 3 seasons now, plus they have their long term prospect secured

[barren bronze]

have faith, people thought his move to mercedes was a flop decision too

[floral rose]

Next year is our year ig

[gleaming dagger]

This time he's going to a team that has a better car, not a team that has a worse car.

[floral rose]

cries

[gleaming dagger]

We've got the momentum for 2025.

[floral rose]

LET FRED COOK

[raw plaza]

When is the post season test?

Tmr?

[neat fern]

Is that live

[raw plaza]

No idea was abt to ask

If they are mentioning the drivers participating surely it will be broadcasted

[neat fern]

Because the pre test is live right?

[raw plaza]

Yea

[neat fern]

And car reveal so we’re not cooked

[mortal rain]

if they bin checo then we have a 3 star michelin meal of a season next year between the top teams

all of the grid, really

[neat fern]

Don’t touch checo the goat

[coarse rapids]

Redbull sells in Mexico after they kick Checo : 📉📉📉

[desert sundial]

I honestly think they should give Yuki the chance at RB despite his "hot headedness "

[lone iron]

It be funny as fuck.
Having mad max and hot headed yuki as team mates

Imagine

[woven rapids]

its all just like "this is over? what?" to me. i don't feel any emotion, just

[foggy ermine]

I do too, he’s probably without a future at RB anyways once Honda is gone so give him a trial by fire

He’ll either sink or swim and they’re no worse out

Plus it gives them their excuse to get rid of him which is probably their eventual play

[vernal holly]

https://fxtwitter.com/phortonf1/status/1866095243730538602

[foggy ermine]

Really excited for the Williams redemption arc

I believe in Carlos and Albon I really do think they’ll be one of the best pairings out there

[hearty shoal]

I would say people are fools for believing the post season testing was directly a day after

until I saw that Williams tweet

further realizing i'm the fool upon analyzation

is that on f1tv?

autosport information anybody

[foggy ermine]

Yeah it was scheduled for day after it’s today

Sainz was specifically given permission to participate for Williams

[toxic basin]

I dont think its televised anywhere

[foggy ermine]

There was a bootleg YouTube live but it got taken off when I was watching

Can’t find anything now

[toxic basin]

what was it streaming on

ill see if I can find something

like the official platform

[foggy ermine]

It was someone live streaming it

Assumed they weren’t supposed to be there

[proven leaf]

All official sources said it was tomorrow ? Or was I wrong

[foggy ermine]

Guess I could be wrong idk

That Williams was 100% out there today though

[narrow garnet]

They were doing a filming day

It's not the testing

Chat this is so disrespectful

No ocon in the team photo

[rose flume]

what did he do to get alpine so mad

[neat latch]

Exist

They're pretending like he doesn't exist

He gave them their first win

And some podiums

And he gets this in return

[rose flume]

feel bad for him'

[neat latch]

This is why i hate Alpine, the way they treat their drivers is just disgusting

God i hope nothing like this ever happens to gasly or jack

[foggy ermine]

Can’t jump to conclusions for all we know it was him who didn’t wanna be there

Bro may not even have been in attendance

[neat latch]

I saw something a couple of days ago they told him just after finishing Qatar that he wasn't going to drive in Abu Dhabi

[rose flume]

could be true, but there other things that show ocon's mistreatment

[foggy ermine]

Yes also other things that show his contempt for the team

They just plain don’t get along

Not defending either just proposing an alternative way to look at it

[neat latch]

Imo it's no different than what they did with Fernando or Oscar

Something always happens with the drivers and this team

[foggy ermine]

Always felt like that was a bad bf gf that should break up but never does

Yeah I don’t like Alpine personally

Wish them well like every other team but still

Looks like he was there btw just saw he’s testing with Haas today

Or tomorrow whatever

Unless he came in specially for it which I doubt

[queen orbit]

exactly, them having pierrrrreeeeee gassssllllyyyyy and estie bestie was a blessing

i used to like renault until all the stuff came down

[lavish egret]

Btw

Guys where is renault

Now

Why it isnt on grid

[neat fern]

When the post season

And is it live

[cyan saffron]

tomorrow and no broadcasting

[foggy ermine]

For real?

Renault is Alpine, they rebranded.

[neat fern]

Fuck

[cyan saffron]

Would've been nice to see some drivers in their new teams already but FOM says nope.

[neat latch]

Alpine is Renault

For now atleast

[raw plaza]

[simple anchor]

There’s one of the Williams

[cyan spruce]

So how did Lewis win at Spa(with George DSQ) and Silverstone, while George won at Red Bull Ring and Las Vegas(with a Merc 1-2)?

[coarse obsidian]

You mean this year. Lewis made his decision last year. W13, W14 are terrible. W15 is a bit better, eventhough they dropped to fourth in the WCC.

[snow swan]

???

lewis's number is 44

Twitter · Dec 9, 2024, 1:17 PM

[still forge]

The only people in the world that can stop Max from racing is Penelope and his unborn child

[grave cosmos]

And FIA

he has 8 penalty points on his license

[still forge]

Well, he can come back after a race ban

[pale basalt]

is that forever or does that cycle?

[grave cosmos]

thats forever

wait it will be wipe clean again next year

[still forge]

iirc some point of his will expire in June

[grave cosmos]

For full details

they have the same penalty license points as Fernando Alonso

[topaz citrus]

How much do y’all think Piastri’s penalty should have been?

[umbral talon]

1m10s

split between him and norris

so ferrari wins

[winter forge]

10s and 2 points

[umbral talon]

[topaz citrus]

Ok you guys are crazy

[winter forge]

wdym

[topaz citrus]

tiny bump = Possibly McLaren’s entire constructors championship

[winter forge]

ruined colapinto’s final race

[topaz citrus]

5 seconds, he was already in like 19th

[winter forge]

but he caused a collision that was 100% his fault

[umbral talon]

30s seconds at very least

[winter forge]

and the standard penalty for that is 10s

[umbral talon]

hurt my pookie

[winter forge]

so its 10s

[topaz citrus]

Fine 10 was necessary

[topaz citrus]

💀

I’m just sad to see Hamilton go to Ferrari. I guess if he doesn’t get his 8th from Mercedes (Abu Dhabi 2021 💀) he might get it with Ferrari.

[umbral talon]

thats never going to happen

every one knows next years wdc

belongs to checo

[topaz citrus]

False believers-

💀

[umbral talon]

todays meeting is just to negotiate the next 2 year extension

[hushed olive]

[tough bough]

Can we have next season starting next week already please?

[vale rose]

what does Nico have to do with that

[glad shadow]

need that tbh, agreed.

[barren bronze]

i personally am excited for DTS

[glad shadow]

can’t wait to see Lewis’s first race with Ferrari

I’m hyped up

[leaden rose]

Does anyone know if the testing is being broadcasted on sky or not?

[unreal folio]

no its not live anywherr

[obtuse beacon]

I'm scared for Piastri next szn. Like wtf was that in Abu Dhabi bro? 😂

[lost sphinx]

wdym what did he do

[obtuse beacon]

Lap 46 he turns right trying to hit the apex but veers left off the track very violently

It was bc of his front wing aero, super weird

[old rivet]

My feels about DTS are like the regular Ferrari fan thinking it’s their year. I want it to happen, but they will fail miserably.

Won’t extend episodes with the amount of stuff that happened this year.
Danni Ric goodbye will eat a whole episode.
Alpine will get two episodes.

[zenith blaze]

Question: What do we do now until 2025 kickoff?

[round sand]

guys if it's true I heard Lawson got RB seat

perez is out

[old rivet]

Probably

[old rivet]

Senna show. Brawn documentary. Re-watch DTS. Re-Watch old races.

Sainz testing in Williams

[rapid horizon]

heinz in a williams💔

[barren bronze]

i know but it’s still fun to see what shitshow they conjure up cause then we can be haters to our heart’s fullest extent

[old rivet]

[old rivet]

Oh. In a season they could probably do 20 episodes, they are gonna stay at 10. Start hating away

[sour swift]

did anyone else shed a tear when lewis started looking at his car ✊😞

[mystic sky]

he won't be, mercedes didn't allow it to happen

[dense jolt]

Ik

That’s why I said that, we have to wait until 2025

[lilac vapor]

i'm back

[lilac vapor]

omg yes

[lucid gale]

wait there wont be any more zhoints

[gleaming badger]

Not next year

Unless he lands the Ferrari reserve, Hamilton catches covid again and he wins in Imola next year

You heard it here first

[vale rose]

Hamilton is out of China because he needs a new hair transplant, Zhou fills in, gets podium in front of home crowd

[lucid gale]

how about the win

[vale rose]

I'm delusional not insane

[lucid gale]

also is perez giving his seat to tsunoda or lawson

[cyan saffron]

Liam

[hot timber]

it’s confirmed perez is not driving next season?

[lucid gale]

probably

[hot timber]

i’d rather yuki replace him but that’s alr

[lucid gale]

yea

yuki has been outperforming everyone bru

[hot timber]

exactly

[lucid gale]

racism trust

[queen orbit]

apparently red bull cant get rid of perez because of his contract or smth

[storm drum]

they'll probaly pay him his salary, he just wont have work like a tenure proffessor. They might keep him around for socials tho.

[vernal holly]

Do what they did with Daniel in 23

[storm drum]

Tragic times.

[vernal holly]

Essentially a media/marketing role

[storm drum]

I just noticed the pre-season countdown. Man this is gonna be long

[blazing current]

They’ll move him to an ambassadorial role

Like they did with Riccardo until he got moved to racing bulls

Or whatever it’s called

[queen orbit]

yeah

[queen orbit]

i hope they do

[hot timber]

already? the last just ended

[stiff bough]

he was reserve

not ambassador

they did offer him ambassador apparently after being removed from the seat this year

[blazing current]

He was both

[stiff bough]

Wasn't mentioned in the signing.

https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/35052059/daniel-ricciardo-return-red-bull-third-driver-2023

[fleet aspen]

If a driver forgets that they’ve switched teams and accidentally drives into the wrong pit crew of their old team. And the old team change their tyres anyway just to be good sports would anyone get penalised for this? 👀

[stiff bough]

Probably the team that changed the tyres would get penalized

[wet sequoia]

Pit crews would normally duck out of the way to let them pass through

Like Hamilton did when he switched to Mercedes

McLaren were setting up to change tyres and when Hamilton came through they just moved aside to let him pass through

No more rookies.. Albon is going to get destroyed now with a decent driver next to him💀

[snow swan]

[fiery mica]

holy shit, is albon ok???

[heavy island]

don't they get to use softer tyre compounds in testing?

[fiery mica]

they run all tyres

[pale falcon]

Caros sainz in white is so sad

[snow swan]

Real

[heavy island]

in what tyre was his best run?

[snow swan]

Ketchup cosplaying mayonnaise 💀

[fiery mica]

Not sure

[grave cosmos]

Blaming people eh, lets see

[heavy island]

maybe he was smth like 0.01-0.1 seconds quicker on the same tyre compound as Albon in his quali and the other was just made up thanks to having a softer compund?

cause Sianz is def better

but

[fiery mica]

Man, the only other person to blame is the world champion

[heavy island]

Albon can't be that bad

[grave cosmos]

i will list down all the crimes u did in F1

[fiery mica]

if sainz was .3 or .5 seconds quicker on same tyre compound as Albon, i'd say Albon is def that bad

[heavy island]

mb my brain stopped working and I put in the wrong numbers

[grave cosmos]

Crash in Baku

[grave cosmos]

cant finish in the top 5 with the 5th/3rd fastest car

[fiery mica]

Yuki testing the RB20 is giving me hope 😭

[heavy island]

if they don't give him the drive then Redbull should just be called Verstappen Racing

that's their only focus

Verstappen WDC

[fiery mica]

lmao, even if they give the seat to yuki, verstappen will be their focus

[heavy island]

I mean they completely gave up WCC

not that focusing on Verstappen is bad

[fiery mica]

yeah, WCC is definitely important

they campaigned for the championship that seemed achievable

[heavy island]

the employees certainly feel cheated out of their bonuses with p3 I assume

[fiery mica]

hopefully not max's garage as they will still get their wdc bonus

for how long do they keep on testing

[craggy zenith]

I mean in general yeah

But also I don't take the testing times as gospel

Since us peasants are never privy to information like what kind of runs they are doing or fuel loads

[snow swan]

yes

[stiff bough]

this doesn't really mean anything...

Completely different track evo and conditions

[wooden kettle]

yeah honestly it needs to be a 1-1 comparison for me to take any stock to it

[silk flicker]

What's max got to do with anything? Firstly he's sound with Yuki anyway and secondly it's not like Yuki would be a threat if that was the case

[heavy island]

I'm not insulting Max, he deserves to be the number 1 driver

I am saying Redbull has just stopped at Max WDC

which is bad for a team that wants to be serious

[silk flicker]

Oh my bad I thought you were saying it would be Max's fault if Yuki didn't get the seat. I do think Yuki deserves it

[tired crow]

Red bull has no-one to blame but themselves. They refused to listen to Checo last year when he complained about the car. They didn't care cause Max had been winning. Now max is also having issues with the car its become a very big issue

[south heron]

bro it's only 2 tenths plus it's post-season testing

[sly badger]

Sainz actually did a time faster than Albon and Colapinto from the qualifying

[south heron]

Colapinto was quicker like that too at first and look what happened

[heavy island]

Srsly tho not caring about anything but Max WDC could very well harm their chances of a WDC in the long term

[tired crow]

Agree. I don't think red bull will be up there post new regulations and again it's all on them

They'll lose Max and downhill for them

[heavy island]

do you think Max will switch teams or just retire?

[tired crow]

Retire. He's expressed interest in other motorsports and also is now a father.

[heavy island]

I mean a lot of dirvers like Hamilton and Alonso said the same about retiring early but here we are

guess it will just depend on if he has a chance to be at a top team again

I imagine Mercedes would have an open seat by the team he feels like he needs to move teams

[queen orbit]

they urgently need yuki in the red bull to make full use of the 2025 season

[fiery mica]

Nah, he still got atleast till 28

[tired crow]

[jade mural]

The rising number one of formula one, Juan, one wonders, should Juan only win one formula one one year, would Juan want to have won that one in round one, Juan?

F1 Movie filming today

[spare glacier]

Cool!

[west dock]

That's what everyone says

That they have better things to do than to race even at the age of 40

That they don't care about the records

And when they are close to breaking a record, they realize that they care

When Max will have 5 or 6 WDCs, he will not retire until he has 8

If Hamilton doesn't get his 8th by then

Verstappen will be here for at least another 8-10 years

You can be sure of that

[hybrid cove]

I’m going to watch that movie in 4DX when it comes out. 🔥

[gloomy flame]

verstappen is a family man tho

just like rosberg

do you know how draining 2016 was for rosberg?

it took him 2 years to finally defeat hamilton, and it had to be perfect, all the stars lined up, he knew it would never be repeated, so he retired

his wife (or girlfriend, i can't remember) was literally complaining about the fact that he was never with his family

hamilton doesn't have a partner or children, he chose racing as his life

[hushed olive]

Imagine telling to a mclaren fan in 2015 that they would win a wcc before ferrari lol

[quaint marlin]

Carlos has been putting the mechanics to WORK

[snow swan]

RING DING DING

im back

[inner crystal]

hopefully it actually like
pays off

[upbeat heron]

Yuki deserves the seat more then Lawson

[lethal bramble]

Where can I watch the post season testing

[jagged cloak]

its not televised

[acoustic bramble]

STOP

NO

[kindred cedar]

i heard leclerc topped the times

[acoustic bramble]

PLEASE

[kindred cedar]

ferrari doomination incoming

[jagged cloak]

doomination

fitting

[lethal bramble]

HEAVILY DOUBT unless the FIA get their act together
I personally thought Max will stick around until like 2033 or 34 but after what happened this year, won't be surprised if he quits after 28

[kindred cedar]

you can never be sure with ferrari

gotta cover al your bases

[lethal bramble]

not even on F1TV?

[jagged cloak]

nowhere

[kindred cedar]

max will retire in 2026 most likely

he puts life ahead of f1

and hes gonna wanna raise his kid (lest the piquets infect him 😭 ) also he seems to be getting bored with the sport

and hamilton might retire too cus ferrari is a retirement team i feel

for him

and ferrari will want bearman in that seat as soon as possible (if he performs)

[lethal bramble]

Unless the car is ABSOLUTELY undriveable for Max in 26 I don't think he'll break his contract

[lethal bramble]

thats sad

[kindred cedar]

eh its max

you never know

[lethal bramble]

Has Antonelli done anything in these tests?

[hybrid cove]

Yeah.

[sand storm]

bro

if liam gets RB seat over yuki i'm gonna be disappointed

just by amount experience alone i feel like yuki deserves it

[brisk meadow]

real

[sand storm]

but i really do want to see liam full time so

just maybe not RB

i think VER/TSU for RBR and LAW/HAD for VCARB makes the most sense if checo does end up getting the boot

shit maybe even LAW/COL lmao

[brisk meadow]

Colapinto is a good driver he just crashes to much

He’s cost Williams more damage than Logan this season

Give him another season in f2

[sand storm]

understandable

[jagged cloak]

VER/TSU is the most logical but internal politics means that its VER/LAW

[sand storm]

100%

[jagged cloak]

chances are that yuki is gonna be the one to leave the earliest

[sand storm]

like there is no way it's not VER/LAW if they fire checo

that's my gut feeling

[brisk meadow]

RB don’t want him in the team probably because of his links with Honda

[jagged cloak]

yeah its not like racism shit or anything

its just honda

[coarse obsidian]

Plus Yuki has been there longer

[sand storm]

yeah man

he has that experience

[brisk meadow]

I say if Yuki doesn’t get the seat he’s going to Aston in 26

[coarse obsidian]

To replace?

[sand storm]

i thought fernando's contract goes until 26

and stroll is obv gonna be there too

[brisk meadow]

Kinda obvious

[coarse obsidian]

Stroll bc Lance sucks

[brisk meadow]

well yeah

[sand storm]

they'll find a way to keep him in

his dad is one of the top guys there after all

[coarse obsidian]

And thats his downfall

[brisk meadow]

I feel like if lance gets dropped he’ll retire

[sand storm]

i hope you're right

lmao

[brisk meadow]

He probably never even wanted to do f1

His dad will give up on him one day

[coarse obsidian]

Should've been 2022

[brisk meadow]

If lance wasn’t just plain stupid he would be a good driver ngl

[blazing current]

He wouldn’t

Lance just can’t drive

[lilac rose]

Lance is decent

[coarse obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/chris-evans-laugh-gif-15277206

[blazing current]

He crashed on a formation lap

[dire pivot]

Ver did that as well tbf then won 4 championships

Stroll gonna do the same

[lilac rose]

100%

[sand storm]

stroll 4 time wdc

[stiff umbra]

Is it allowed to ask things in here for like f1 leagues?

[muted prairie]

so since yuki is off-season testing with RB is he getting the seat?

[lilac rose]

Not necessarily...no

[muted prairie]

tbh i don’t really care who gets the seat but i’d prefer yuki

[hoary goblet]

When is the testing?

[ornate gate]

Check the pins

[hoary goblet]

Good idea

[sly badger]

Sainz was two tenths faster than Albon Q2 time

[keen skiff]

Idk if this aged well or not 💀

[sly badger]

It did age well relatively

Ferrari finished the season really close to McLaren and they had a close number of wins to them as well as Charles possibly doing the most points after the summer break this season

[keen skiff]

I'm gonna miss Carlos In Red

I was shocked and excited when the news came he was going to Ferrari

[snow swan]

Do you think bro is lying?

[sly badger]

Ferrari's points diff to the 1st team in 2024 is actually the most closer since 2018 (84pts to Mercedes),2012 (60pts to RedBull) and 2006 (4pts to Renault,converted to current points system)
