[spare heart]

is the testing done?

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

[noble mesa]

.juan

[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?

[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

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]

[snow swan]

RING DING DING

im back

hopefully it actually like

[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)

[molten relic]

he pleading for that seat i fear

glazin fr

[topaz citrus]

Hold up is Yuki going to Red Bull?

[stiff bough]

Not currently, no.

[topaz citrus]

Just an idea?

[stiff bough]

Expected announcement on the seat is Thursday-Friday

[topaz citrus]

Ahhh ok

In replace of Perez obviously

[keen skiff]

Thing is could RB handle 2 hot heads

Lawson seems a more favorable-ish choice, but then again either option seems like a Russell-situation where either driver is comfortable with a faulty RB

[sly badger]

Honestly just give Tsunoda a seat if they're going to kick him anyway after Honda goes to Aston

And then get Colapinto to RB

[fierce bolt]

lawson seems more hot headed than current tsunoda is, lawson managed to piss off several drivers in his first couple of races

[sly badger]

Blud got a rivalry with fucking Alonso

[keen skiff]

Rather stick with Alonso rn

If anyone can put their cars in the points when the development comes through he's that guy

[simple anchor]

Honda I’m pretty sure wanted Yuki to test the RB20 as a candidate to replace Checo

But like differo said
“Expected announcement on the seat is Thursday-Friday”

[wooden kettle]

no theyre replacing verstappen, duh.

[winged dagger]

do the post season times tell something

[signal knoll]

I uh

I have nothing to watch for 3 months

[tidal mural]

Watch old races

[azure isle]

what hapoened with sainz and testing

heard he was testing for hours on end

[craggy zenith]

Problem is Williams really don't want to let him go

The loan deal they offered was absurd

Honestly if I was Colapinto and I was being offered a seat if I left the Williams academy I would take it

Also can I please have one Alpine Doohan post without the comment section being full of Colapinto Stans?

Like please go away and bully Williams, not the junior getting his chance in F1

This all just reminds me of the Drugo stand with Williams last year

[jaunty path]

Still desperatly waiting for the redbull announcement ahhh

I want yuki in that seat so bad

[drifting geyser]

Trying not to get my hopes up for Yuki because I know it won't happen

[jaunty path]

I mean from what ive read the test was pretty positive

At some point they gotta aknowledge that yuki is their best option

[craggy zenith]

From a logical viewpoint yes

But Red Bull hadn't been logical since like 2008

[jaunty path]

Thats sadly a fair point

[craggy zenith]

And this year they've done the dumbest shit I've ever seen

[jaunty path]

I wish this was a shit take but youre right

[craggy zenith]

They'll probably throw Lawson in because they'll believe he has a higher ceiling (which maybe they're right) but he'll turn into another Albon

[simple anchor]

It might. Perez has underperformed and made his team suffer for 2 seasons now. Honey badger was not even a full season

[craggy zenith]

And then be stuck with no drivers because Yuki will be gone and Hadjar won't be ready

So they'll have to find someone from another team

Who knows maybe that's how Sainz ends up there

[jaunty path]

Yuki has outperformed everyone they wanted in redbull, has now prooven his work in the garage and his adaptivity with the rb20 seems to be fine too according to his comments

I really wonder what else they would expect

[craggy zenith]

I'm still of the option they should've just put Daniel in the car

[simple anchor]

I say yuki would be best until hadjar is ready

[craggy zenith]

You brought him back based on a good performance in the red Bull car

At worse he does the same job as Perez and you can send him to the old people's home

On the other hand his tyre test wasn't a fluke and he does well

Honestly the VCARB stint ended up being a waste

[jaunty path]

If they didnt want yuki because of his temper in the car, i doubt they want hadjar in the car

[craggy zenith]

He actually had good results in the AT, he just had the misfortune of breaking his hand

[jaunty path]

Im not sure if ric was their best option for the seat, i still hate them for how they have ended his career

Like, nobody deserves that, especially not someone that has brought wins to your team

Just shows what kind of people are behind redbulls doors, i cant grasp how they have fans

[craggy zenith]

My logic is basically you went through all the effort to bring him back from McLaren and then went on and on about how well he did in the RB19

Perez was doing so poorly the worst Daniel could do was match him

like clearly he was well suited to the Red Bull so you might as well just use him, put Lawson in the VCARB and then if he does poorly, bin Ricciardo and put one of the juniors in

[craggy zenith]

Unsurprisingly, a lot of F1 team management are assholes

Alpine are a perfect example, although they may be a poor example as unlike everyone else, they are French

[snow swan]

they didn't want yuki because he is a honda driver

[native breach]

Yuki will never go to RBR

His only chance of a competitive seat is after Nando retires

(or stroll goes to WEC ig)

[limpid bluff]

Actually the Red Bull seats could be swapped

So if Perez leave, no reason to leave Yuki in VCARB
Just let him go, if not working, swap seats

The only reason not giving Yuki position is not wanting to prove themselves wrong
So not giving him any chance to prove himself is the simplest way

However if Liam replace Checo
I think he need to buy some more insurance before going to Mexico

[regal needle]

I would notice if Checo move to Cadillac, That would sounds interesting

Because he was Ferrari Driver Academy once upon a Time

[hardy tundra]

He won’t his last is redbull that to probably the 2025 season

[regal needle]

Sure is

I'll be curious if Netflix do an Episode about Checo

[hardy tundra]

Lmao I’m surprised he got away with giving a finger to checo in Mexico this time

[woven rapids]

lol

[true bolt]

2 days without f1, idk how will i survive!!!

[stiff bough]

That would be assuming of course, you can leave.

[gusty holly]

that's a lie, Zhou did them too

[fast fable]

Blame on Briatore and Alpine, whoever built that '5-race contract' stuff.
[It's like Liam in Austin, but with contracts. Hasn't entered into the car this season, already getting 2 penalties.]

To be honest, Cola Stans were spamming every team's post's comments section, so...

[mortal marsh]

cause anyone who is domininant (max) the entire f1 fanbase goes to support them

[jaunty path]

Incredibly sad to see, you can be the biggest asshole but people will like you if youre performing

https://tenor.com/view/brain-meme-you-did-not-have-to-cut-me-off-gif-498898395089837096

[regal needle]

The Team as we heard already set up a House for him to stay since they told Lewis not to find Loan House in Maranello

I know the House actually. It's the Same One use by Michael Schumacher

[snow swan]

lewis would not shift to maranello, he already got a mansion in monaco and he is living there for a reason there are very less taxes there.

@regal needle

[regal needle]

You don't have to tell me

I already know

It's not in Monaco because Ferrari set up a Place for him where he will stay at the Same One Michael Schumacher stays in

[snow swan]

nah

bet

[regal needle]

You're Delusional!

[snow swan]

source- trust me bro.

[regal needle]

That's where Lewis exactly will stay

Stop being Delusional

Lewis not really gonna Loan in Monaco because he is already got some Loan setup by Ferrari earlier to live in Enzo Ferrari House

[kindred cedar]

nah lmao hes just gonna be allowed toenter the house of enzo ferrari i think

and shumacher was the last one allowed in

hamilton dosent care tho hes prob staying in monaco

most drivers do

[regal needle]

Not a Lot of Drivers plan to staying in Monaco

[kindred cedar]

y

[regal needle]

Because Ferrari already set everything up for Lewis already

[wet sequoia]

Last I checked Hamilton said he was NOT going to stay in that house

[kindred cedar]

why would he its a 2 year deal

his own house is probably more stabe
t

the enzo house was just a show of goodwill

[regal needle]

It's worth of 41 Million to have Lewis signed to Ferrari

His 2 Year Contract with Mercedes was worth of 100 Million with Exit-clause

I mean, 41 Million is not that Bad for Ferrari to sign Lewis

[wet sequoia]

Not staying in Enzo’s house

Most of the drivers would rather set up their own accommodations to fit their needs

[regal needle]

What maybe Month Lewis start testing with Ferrari maybe?

It's definitely before the O2 Arena Event

[wet sequoia]

Not until next year, he still had sponsorship agreements to finish with Mercedes

He might get some sim work but to drive an actual Ferrari won’t be for awhile

It’s why he couldn’t do the post season test

[regal needle]

Still a lot to do then with the Silver Arrows

[wet sequoia]

Where with the exception of Ocon being given a raw deal to participate with Haas every other driver got to freely try their new teams car

Yes but it should be finished by Xmas

So next year he should be able to start sim work on the 2024 car

[snow swan]

wherever he stay, but one thing would not be changed.

||he is washed||

I've heard the Monaco E-prix is actually entertaining

[stiff bough]

this was already reported as false, just fyi

[mossy axle]

[sly valve]

Fr. They can't tease us with him testing the car if they ain't giving it him

[pseudo quail]

That’s them checking how quick he is too

[sly valve]

Any1 is quicker than checo

[pseudo quail]

Yea but at this point it’s between him and Lawson

[sly valve]

If lawson gets it good on him but tbh there will be outrage bc of what happend with danny

[tall grove]

I’m in Abu Dhabi and I’d like to checkout the post season testing at Yas Marina Circuit. Does anyone have any idea if it’s open to public ?

[pseudo quail]

Yeah. I think Redbull will just take the driver they think is quicker, and then focus on the PR to reduce that damage. This data probably also gives them something to tell Yuki/Lawson why he wasn’t picked so there’s no way they can say it’s like racism or bias or anything

[grand spoke]

i think before you could see it for free but i dont think anymore unless u are invited

[lilac rose]

Fuck you. W George

F2 testing going on right now

Just got here 5 mins back

Yes the one below Marina Grandstand

[zenith blaze]

Expect a very tumultuous winter period for Redbull, as they will be fighting against Checo's representatives over his contract.

By his comments, you can tell he ain't gonna go quiet.

Whole of Mexico will be against RBR when they go back there in 2025.

Imo they get Lawson, and Lawson fails and they swap him out for Yuki by mid-season 2025.

Expect Max to only get 3-4 wins next year and losing out on the title.

[lone iron]

Formula E should just be renamed to Formula Crash

[oblique junco]

i wanna say even less wins, probably only like 2 or 3

unless ford does some magic ig

or is ford 2026? i cant remember

[lone iron]

26

I think

[oblique junco]

oh alr

then if its still honda next year i hope yuki gets a seat

[edgy topaz]

Give Yuki a Red Bull contract
plot twist:he wins an f1 championship

[oblique junco]

yeah i saw that too, but some of his comments after the testing seemed a bit arrogant to me

almost like hes trying too hard to prove himself to redbull that he fits well in the main team

[stiff bough]

isnt that a good thing

[lone iron]

If he does I'll scream with delight

[oblique junco]

ig but to me it sounds like he almost wants to challenge max

[stiff bough]

well its not like he can do anything else to convince the team

[oblique junco]

which i doubt redbull would like

[stiff bough]

he's done quite literally everything he can within his power

[oblique junco]

ik hes doing good

but

[stiff bough]

This is the same Red Bull team that had been trying to court Norris for many years, I'd think they are fine if someone can challenge Max

[hushed olive]

I hope checo gets sacked

[pseudo quail]

Sounded like more of Yuki’s words to convince them than Redbull liking him

[craggy zenith]

Why in God's name would they do that?

These are just the same kind of delusional fans who are bombarding Alpine's comment section; lost on the reality of F1

Mercedes are committed to developing Antonelli in the same way Red Bull was with Max

And that includes taking the blow of Antonelli's accidents

[craggy zenith]

Tsunoda win in Suzuka

Imagine the crowd

[craggy zenith]

I think he's just really trying to make it sound like he would be a perfect fit for Red Bull, and can you blame him?

Even he can't understand why Red Bull are so disinterested in putting him in the main team

Hypothetically speaking
Could an F1 driver who’s fed up with the team management, who also signed a contract with them for 2025, announce their retirement only for them to return in later seasons to a different team? And will they have to pay out any money for retiring since they already signed?
asking for my boy yuk

[winged dagger]

I think Max will retire in 2026 tbh

I think he says he will retire when he has a child?

[sharp citrus]

So I'm confused. I've spoken to my stepdad about it (been watching f1 since the late 90s)... will yuki be moving to redbull in the 2025 season? Or is he a reserve driver? Or is redbull just letting him test? Idkkk I need answers.... I feel he has redbull potential but weither he's got a contract or not is in my question

[kindred cedar]

just letting him test

rumors (which seem to be quite believable) say liam will take perezs seat

and hadjar will come to vcarb

[surreal meteor]

I assume he's on the standard Red Bull contract and can be moved between the two teams at will

yuki sadly seems to be gettng passed up cus rb hates him apparently

Why do so many people keep calling Piastri a future world champion? No world champion in F1 history has ever finished 82 points behind their teammate in their second season. Or gotten out-qualified 20-4 💀

[drifting island]

Almost like the team wanted him to serve as a #2 driver for half the season

And the 20-4 is extremely onefaced considering he’s normally like one place down

[snow swan]

Typical Piastri fan cope

[snow swan]

8 poles to 0

[drifting island]

??? it’s true

[snow swan]

Almost like Norris was issued team orders just as many times as Piastri

[drifting island]

ok….? he’s still improving and needs time… last season barely counts considering it was a midfield car half the year

he’s had like 1 1/4 season in a decent car and he’s still extremely young, not everyone is LH and wins in their 2nd season

[snow swan]

Two positions behind on average. Even behind Leclerc

[drifting island]

and that’s still really good for his 2nd season, no?

[snow swan]

No world champion of years past has ever been so thoroughly dominated in their formative years. Forget Hamilton or Verstappen, even Leclerc was beating Vettel as a 2nd year driver

[drifting island]

ok not trying to leave but i need to go we can continue this later if u want

sorry

[proven leaf]

Well .. I’m by no means saying piastri isn’t a great driver but , lando has had a decent car for the same amount of time no

[snow swan]

Getting out-qualified 20-4 is not good for any driver regardless of how much experience they have. That’s close to Verstappen-Perez level domination 💀

[proven leaf]

20-4 actually sounds bad compared to the races tbh

What about race h2h ?

[snow swan]

16-7. Which is still extremely one-sided

[proven leaf]

Wait that doesn’t add up to 24

[snow swan]

Like Austria and Qatar were easy P2s for Norris which he lost at least partially due to bad luck. He was far ahead of Piastri in both instances

[proven leaf]

Piastri didn’t have much pace for the last few weekends

[snow swan]

I excluded Austria because while Norris was technically classified as having finished the race, he retired on lap 69 or smth

[proven leaf]

Wait really ?

Was it towards the end ?

My memory must be bad lmao

I though there was about 10 -15 laps left after the crash

But tbh piastri has completed every single lap this year

[snow swan]

Yeah. VER-NOR collision, Norris limped back to the pits but the car was too damaged to continue

[proven leaf]

I remember the crash just not the lap

Vividly

I was shocked.

[snow swan]

Idk there might’ve been 5 or so. It was more than 90% of the race distance, which is why Norris was classified as having finished the race

[snow swan]

That’s really more reflective of the car’s reliability, not Piastri. Engineers deserve kudos for that

[proven leaf]

Definitely

Great season for the engineers

[snow swan]

Good season for the drivers. Terrible season for the pitwall. Fire the entire strategy team and start from scratch

[lilac rose]

Eh. Piastri being a clean driver also helps

[proven leaf]

I finally love how lando ended the season with a championship drive. So much pressure and 0 mistakes . Loved the fuck out of it

[snow swan]

Yeah and the car actually wasn’t that much faster - Ferrari were just as fast on mediums and only 1-2 tenths slower on hards. Piastri struggling to pass Alonso proved that the inherent pace advantage was fairly marginal

[proven leaf]

I was actually wondering that. He was dropped by alonso tbh

[snow swan]

Norris just drove a great race with no mistakes for once

[proven leaf]

The gap just kept increasing and I wondered why he couldn’t overtake

[proven leaf]

No problems with the start , no corrections and brought home the largest trophy

[snow swan]

Sure, but like…being clean doesn’t really help if you’re lacking pace. Norris has raw pace on the level of Verstappen - his qualifying record proves it - but he lacks some racecraft and aggression.

That stuff can be pretty easily improved. Manifesting 2 tenths of raw pace is very difficult. If you’re slow, you don’t suddenly become fast

[coarse obsidian]

Base on these stats, why get rid of Sergio for Yuki or even Liam? But then again its Red Bull.

[lilac rose]

Not sure if Norris has the pace of Verstappen. Maybe if Piastri goes to Redbull or something, we'd know.

But it's a possibility

Norris seems to have good 1 lap pace

[snow swan]

Norris has never lost a qualifying h2h battle to a teammate and has 8 poles this season. His raw pace is definitely up there with Verstappen

[lilac rose]

But Verstappen pushing that Redbull to its limits is also something

[snow swan]

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Verstappen still has better race pace, but he’s better than everyone except Hamilton in that department. Norris’ race pace and tyre management skills are very good too.

[lilac rose]

True

[royal scarab]

Charlie LC ain't no slouch

[snow swan]

Yuki was driving the RB20 in the postseason test. It’s definitely not out of the realm of possibility

[snow swan]

If I had to rank the drivers based on race pace, Verstappen and Hamilton would be in S tier while Norris and Leclerc are in A tier.

[royal scarab]

Fair

[thin berry]

Maybe but Leclerc is still closer to Hamilton and Verstappen than he is to Norris

[snow swan]

Nah. Hamilton just proved why he has the best tyre management skills in history this past race. Started 10 places behind Russell (who is no slouch) and somehow finished ahead. Verstappen isn’t far behind - his 45 lap stint in Miami comes to mind. Norris’ race pace and tyre management is underrated and level with Leclerc IMO

[thin berry]

Leclerc started P20 and finished P3? Did you watch Monza this year?

He’s definitely better than Norris at both

[fiery mica]

😭 tsunoda PLEASE

[snow swan]

Watch Mexico this season. Leclerc cooked his rear tyres trying to stay in P2 whilst Norris was setting fastest laps towards the end of the race.

[fiery mica]

Leclerc is definitely better than Norris, did u watch AD?

[fiery mica]

did you watch the race? He had to lico the entire time lol, he had a problem with his car

[snow swan]

No, he isn’t. Did you watch Mexico last season? Norris did a 40 lap stint on mediums going from 17th to 5th.

[snow swan]

Proof?

[fiery mica]

You want a proof of him lico-ing?

[thin berry]

Ok he cooked them once which also depends on the setup and characteristics of the car when has Norris pulled a Monza 24

[snow swan]

The race Norris won…blud what are you saying 😂

[thin berry]

Wtf do you mean proof did you watch the race

Do your own research

[snow swan]

Monza ‘24 was also down to McLaren bottling the strategy

[thin berry]

That’s not the point

The point is how Leclerc’s tyres management allowed Ferrari to capitalise on McLaren bottling

[snow swan]

I did watch the race. It wasn’t mentioned once. You made the claim but you can’t show proof lmfao 😂

[fiery mica]

From Pole??? while Lec overtook 16 cars? or did you watch Abu Dhabi 2022? or 23?

[thin berry]

Don’t become shit stirry now or this is going to end very quick

[snow swan]

Yeah and I’m saying Norris has just as many instances of great tyre management. Like Spa last season or Imola this season etc.

[snow swan]

I’m terrified, truly 🥶

[fiery mica]

you want to talk about tyre management and youre going with Spa 2023?

[thin berry]

@snow swan here, since you’re apparently unable to do a basic google search by yourself. https://transcripts.recursiveprojects.cloud/archive/18489/209230

[snow swan]

Yeah because he had the 2nd fastest car? How was Leclerc’s drive all that impressive compared to someone like Hamilton who finished ahead of his teammate who started 10 places in front?

[fiery mica]

Bait used to be better, nvm

[snow swan]

Come up with original cope bro

[thin berry]

… yeah let’s move on chat

[snow swan]

Did you actually watch Spa ‘23? Norris did 27 laps on softs

[acoustic bramble]

[thin berry]

Anyway who’s coming out with the fastest car next year

[elfin acorn]

Wassssssuppp my dudes

[thin berry]

I obviously hope it’ll be Ferrari

[elfin acorn]

Leclerccc no?

World champion

[fiery mica]

leclerc world champion GOD PLEASE

[elfin acorn]

If Ferrari actually allow him to be

Remember '22

He was supposed to be world champion

[fiery mica]

We dont have sainz anymore so I dont think the same will happen

also, lewis and charles prefer similar car type, lighter front so atleast they wont be fighting about that

[thin berry]

Yeah now it’s really going to be about who drives best

[fiery mica]

im so happy sainz is gone

[elfin acorn]

Yeah I'm a Max fan but I'm worried tbh

[thin berry]

There’s still a possibility Charles might get spanked but it’ll still be funny to watch

[fiery mica]

seeing him drive the williams actually makes everything worth it

[thin berry]

Especially knowing he did this to himself

[thin berry]

Worried for what

[fiery mica]

Hey, as long as its because hes lacking in talent and not because of behind the scene politics thats fine.

[elfin acorn]

Max's car might be shittier than the RB 20

[fiery mica]

I believe in him and im sure he's talented enough to fight lewis but if hes not then 🤷

[thin berry]

Exactly, let’s do the fighting on track

[fiery mica]

NO MORE LICO!

[elfin acorn]

Idk man lewis might not be as good as you think but it's 50/50 d you remember vettel

[thin berry]

I’m not a max fan and I tend to root for the underdog so I’m sorry to say I’m kinda hoping it is 😬

[fiery mica]

Honestly considering lewis with russell?? I just dontthink he has that dog in him anymore dkm

[fluid radish]

Hi skibidis

[thin berry]

He definitely didn’t this year but maybe some fresh Italian air will do him good

[grave brook]

Hey

[elfin acorn]

LMAO I'm praying day and night for a rocket rb21

[grave brook]

Same

[elfin acorn]

Fr

[lilac rose]

Me aswell

[fiery rock]

life without formula 1

[drifting island]

yes, but he’s had like 4 extra years of experience in f1

[drifting island]

statistics don’t always tell the full story. just because he gets outqualified by 1-2 places by his significantly more experienced teammate does not mean he is a bad driver nor that he isn’t championship material

he also has a good mentality, which lando suffers in. Oscar’s good at keeping focus and calmness, but lacks a little in pace

[lilac rose]

Do you think Piastri's quali pace is gonna catch up to Norris in the coming years?

[golden vale]

aston should take a leap with aero alone. Mclaren and ferreri are looking best IMO

oh shoot forgot to turn off the ping

mb

[thin berry]

It’s ok dw I’m not one of those people who apparently don’t know how to manage their own notifications

[drifting island]

I hope so. He had kind of a rough year, but I think we’ll get a more accurate representation next year

[lilac rose]

Nice

i only keep the tag

I just have notifs off lmao

[drifting island]

Yes, but any experience is good experience. It’s still an f1 car

[proven leaf]

Well yeah lando is still experienced I agree with you

[thin berry]

Some do yeah to which I say not my problem boo

[proven leaf]

And by no means is Oscar a bad driver

[thin berry]

I’m not a fucking waitress to keep everyone’s preferences in mind

Just that at this moment in time , lando is better

"But I was told that for lifting one driver, the other guy has to be shown depths of hell. That's how F1 works."

I blocked you for being annoying

seeing "10 blocked messages" was more annoying so I unblocked you

[stiff bough]

real as fuck

thats w skibidi slicer right there

[smoky agate]

agree

(dunno what that means)

[proven leaf]

Like people just find someone to hate some driver for no reason.

[fast fable]

The guy being shown this a lot will probably be Alex.

First from Franco fans, then from Carlos fans (later on).

[proven leaf]

Yeah ..

[fast fable]

[To be honest, after the wreckfest in Brazil and LV, the first set went into immediate hiding, somewhat.]

[proven leaf]

Tbh Brazil wasn’t really too bad

That’s his first wet race in f1 and it was borderline dangerous for even the experienced ones

[hot python]

what is going on

https://tenor.com/view/kendrick-lamar-god-is-gangsta-u-ahhh-scream-gif-6349874768192364613

[thin berry]

Their problems tbh they’d be missing out on all the super smart and fun things I say 💁‍♀️

[red trail]

NO MIKEY NO THAT WAS SO NOT RIGHT

[fast fable]

Maybe, but think...

SIN - MEX leg, Alex was being called a lot of things and half said, "Oh, Alex is being a fraud", "Oh, replace him with Franco immediately." and what not, mostly because of Singapore and Mexico.

Fast forward to LV Quali, silent.
65% of those aforementioned stuff went into hiding. More of supporting Alex and Franco together instead of one up one down.

[proven leaf]

Like you don’t need to put someone down to praise someone else

People don’t get it lmao

[real nova]

Apparently, some ppl do... Kinda dumb imo (unless you got traumatized by spam pings or smth)

[fiery mica]

I still think Franco in the long term is a much more faster driver than albon

[pastel charm]

idk man hes getting slower and slower

[real nova]

Agreed! In fact, he's a talented guy who is actually close to matching Lando in terms of performance imo

[fast fable]

Maybe, maybe not.
Time will tell.

[real nova]

Franco does have a lot of potential and talent as a driver. Not sure what went wrong in the past couple of races - could be due to the fact that he's still relatively new to F1 I suppose

[fiery mica]

I'd rather have a driver that crashes (something that can be fixed) rather than a driver who is slow.

[lilac rose]

That Williams car seems to be really crash prone

[pastel charm]

its just uredoctqble

unpredictable

[lilac rose]

Everyone who drives it crashes consistently

I hope Sainz gets a better time

[real nova]

Same

[fiery mica]

Sainz prefer understeer which is something that doesnt crash as often so he'll probably prefer that

[real nova]

That's possible...

[pastel charm]

its really sensitive to input

isn’t forgiving at all

[fiery mica]

I think theyre trying to follow the top teams and trying to follow their design style while atm, they need a reliable car first Then a fast one

[fast fable]

I mean, is it not weird that 100% of all Williams drivers since '22 are in top 5 of WDesC?

Yeah, some can be attributed to drivers, no questioning that, but the cars ain't perfect either.

[pastel charm]

2026 would be a huge reset for them

i think they are looking for that

[lilac rose]

True

[real nova]

They got a lot of expectations for Osc, while also actively trashing Lando. Like... Why? They both have potential to be have their own WDCs :/

[fast fable]

Also weird that Sarge and Cola's driving started well at first, then slowly downhill from there.

[proven leaf]

They balance each other out imo

Lando has really good quali pace

[fiery mica]

Sarge's drive started well?

[proven leaf]

Maybe on par with verstappen and definitely on par with leclerc

And his tyre managements skills are underrated

[fast fable]

BHR and SAU last year were good,

[fiery mica]

who

[proven leaf]

Lando

[real nova]

Tbf, Lando was second to Max in the WDC leaderboard. So, ofc they would have to priortise him more for the time being. I'm pretty sure that that they will treat both the Papaya Boys more equally next season, until one of them shows the potential to win the WDC

[fiery mica]

hmm hard disagree

[proven leaf]

On quali pace

[real nova]

It's just so normal and obvious. How come people still question this??

[fiery mica]

HARD disagree

[proven leaf]

What

[lilac rose]

I don't believe it. But it's definitely a possibility

[real nova]

Lando's much better with his race starts as well

[fiery mica]

I agree their stance on backing lando tbh, Piastri is very good it seems like there are races where hes so good and then there are races where he's just nowhere

[lilac rose]

We wouldn't know for sure until they're teammate

S

[lilac rose]

Wut? Really?

[fiery mica]

while norris is famous as a 'bottler' he seems to be consistent in bringing in enough points

[snow swan]

are the meta apps also not working for anyone else??

[real nova]

I mean, he's better with them nowadays. I wasn't comparing him with Osc in this case

[lilac rose]

WhatsApp works fine

[proven leaf]

But tbh in the recent weekends , he hasn’t bottled his starts

[fast fable]

I mean, he's getting better.

Not much of L1 T1 bottles nowadays than what happened earlier.

[snow swan]

instagram??

my whatsapp is working too

[proven leaf]

Qatar both starts were good and Abu Dhabi was a good start as well

[real nova]

I agree! I'm damn sure that if Osc was nearing the chances in winning a WDC, McLaren will priortise him more

[lilac rose]

Fine as well

[snow swan]

weird

[fast fable]

Read somewhere that Lewis was allowed to do donuts after Abu Dhabi and not Max, because Max did it with Oscar on 1st lap itself.

[fiery mica]

he seems to be improving and honestly, I do think he'll win a wdc before russell

[lilac rose]

Yeah. But his starts this season overall has been a bit shit. I'm sure he'll improve for next year.

[fiery mica]

Exactlym, you gotta put yourself in a position to backed

[proven leaf]

Lmaoo

[proven leaf]

What about leclerc ?

[fiery mica]

its so wild now that the season is over I, no longer have hatred for norris in my heart like yeah sure! hes good

[real nova]

Him getting the race start correctly in Abu Dhabi saved McLaren's chances of winning the WCC imo. He executed it perfectly this time, especially when that unexpected hit between Max and Oscar occurred

[proven leaf]

The best lando drive

[fiery mica]

Im very biased in that sense, I think he was the strongest driver and most consistent this year so I do think he'll win in the next 2 years

[proven leaf]

No mistakes , no bottles , no pressure

[real nova]

Exactly!

[real nova]

Yesss

[lilac rose]

It's because the internet is quick to push and pull down narratives based on recent events

[proven leaf]

Everyboyd’s got an opinion of courses

[real nova]

When Lando feels that he needs to get smth done, he gets it done

[fiery mica]

Nah Im just a ferrari fan who hates on mclaren. I do not care about the internet

[proven leaf]

I’m biased towards lando so I feel like it’s gonna be him before leclerc

[fiery mica]

hmmm I think if that happened, charles would be pissed

[proven leaf]

And take things out of context (Sao Paulo)

[fiery mica]

but yk sports and whatever

[proven leaf]

Bro locked the fuck in”

[lilac rose]

If Lando had an awful race in Abu Dhabi everybody would have been still shiting on him

[fast fable]

Why is one section of my Xitter filled with thirst traps of drivers?

[proven leaf]

Oh for sure

[real nova]

It's hard to differentiate a fan who hates Lando bc they don't like McLaren VS someone who hates Lando for the sake of it (aka being dumb, along with half-baked psychological evaluations based on his words obv taken out of context)

[fiery mica]

honestly, I do not agree at all. In the first half - Max won. in the 2nd half - Charles won. Lando came second in both. When the car was good, charles was able to extract everything from it

[proven leaf]

I thought they were equal on points ?

In the 2nd half ?

[fiery mica]

Nope, charles won the 2nd half

[proven leaf]

By how much ?

[lilac rose]

5 points or something

[proven leaf]

Tbh Brazil and Las Vegas were …

Not good

[lilac rose]

Baku

[real nova]

Since it's Lando's first time contending for the WDC + having a good car after many seasons, I'm genuinely proud of his performance. It isn't bad at all for the circumstances

[proven leaf]

And mcl as a whole wasn’t really that good at lv as piastri didn’t do good either

[proven leaf]

It’s actually pretty good

[real nova]

Exactly!

[fast fable]

Zak after seeing WCC:

[fiery mica]

For how good the car was? its just like wow there were too many time he couldn't extract everything from the car

[real nova]

Lmao, his face-

[lilac rose]

Effects of selling one's soul

[proven leaf]

Like , just for my curiousity and not being rude , could you pick races where that happened ?

[lilac rose]

God bless

[real nova]

Ig the part of him fighting of a WDC for the first time could have played a role in him making mistakes too

[fiery mica]

like you've brought up Baku, Brazi, Las Vegas, Spa

[fiery mica]

Yes, but isnt that what differentiates a future wdc to a normal driver? Their ability to extract everything

[lilac rose]

Baku wasn't his fault

[proven leaf]

Spa , the car just wasn’t there . And it was in the first half

And Baku wasn’t really his fault

[lilac rose]

Still finished p4 and helped his teammate which were nice

[proven leaf]

Brazil was his fault and Las Vegas , the car wasn’t up there to overtake

[fiery mica]

Hmm I guess

[real nova]

The internet made me absolutely miserable with how Lando was getting unnecessary hated on, especially when they come up with the most rushed psychological evaluations on his personality with half-baked information 💀
And before anyone says that Max also went through hate like him, I came to F1 in like Feb this year, so I couldn't get to witness much of the anti-Max sentiments. I would have defended Max all the same

[fiery mica]

Spa was a bit his fault tho

[proven leaf]

So in all honesty I’d say only Brazil was a shitshow

[fiery mica]

even in silverstone, the car was so good

[proven leaf]

Piastri didn’t do much either

[fiery mica]

Yeah but piastri isnt the one campaignign for WDC is he?

[proven leaf]

Yeah he bottled the start but spa was before the summer break right ?

Talking after the summer break

Biggest points swing to leclerc was Qatar

[lilac rose]

True. I began to notice it this year when people blamed Norris for Baku yellow flags

[proven leaf]

And without that lando could’ve easily out scoured him

[fiery mica]

Yeah I mean Leclerc won Monza but it was an amazing strategy so its not on norris

[proven leaf]

Monza was strategy fault and piastri overtake

(Nothing to blame on Oscar it was a mighty pass)

[real nova]

Agreed! I am sure that Lando must have learnt a lot in this experience

[lilac rose]

Him not defending against Piastri was his mistake though

[fiery mica]

If you go through after Break sessions, leclerc did not finish below 5th the entire time

Leclerc was phenomenal for me in the 2nd half and honeslty norris wasnt bad so the fact that he could win over norris is amazing ofcourse

[neat fern]

Is this winter break depressclub

[thin berry]

And Ferrari capitalising brilliantly on McLaren’s mistakes + Leclerc’s great tyre management skills to pull it off

[lilac rose]

Welcome

Goodbye

[thin berry]

No, it’s the hype squad

[neat fern]

You sure

[proven leaf]

And off my head , lando finished below p4 in 3/10 races (Qatar , Brazil and Las Vegas)

[fiery mica]

Monza was so amazing, Im still like ???? We won that??? how???

[proven leaf]

Yup

[thin berry]

I was watching and I was like WTF IS CHARLES DOING?????

[fiery mica]

he was doing so well till brazil

[proven leaf]

Brazil was a shitshow

Las Vegas was bad

Qatar was unlucky

Nothing with a skill issue except Brazil

And you couldn’t say that was a skill issue

Well sort of but lmaooo

[snow swan]

scored most points after summer break if im not mistaken

austria and silverstone ruined his stats this season

[fiery mica]

I'll say Qatar was also a little bit of Skill issue 🫢

[fiery mica]

CANADA 😭

[snow swan]

and theyre incredibld

fuck canada

all my homies hate canadian gp from 2024

[proven leaf]

Wellllll

[fiery mica]

LMAO im sure he'll do better next time now that he knows how to fight infront

[proven leaf]

Of course

[fiery mica]

Its not nice to expect alot from him I mean hes being compared to leclerc and leclerc's been fighting infront since 2019

[proven leaf]

Like this is his first year fighting at the front

[snow swan]

thats what im saying

lando has way less experience than charles lewis max

(hence why i believe hes a tier below them but shhh)

charles this season tho oh man

(ofc im not biased me being biased? naaaah 🤪)

[hushed olive]

all the drivers got to experience what is racing at the midfield in a season

well except hamilton

even in a bad season like this was he still got to win 2 races and 5 podiums lol

reminder that Seb would've won 2017 if he had won both Singapore and Japan even if Lewis finished 2nd in both and Ferrari were tipped as favorites at both tracks

they would've probably still lost the WCC to Merc but they'd still have won the WDC

we were this close to 2021 but 4 years earlier 😔

[winged dagger]

a tiers too much lando has had solid quali moments and good races. but he makes some mistakes. definitely below charles this season tho

[winged dagger]

2024

Canada…, Baku

[winged dagger]

second half was good though

[calm wraith]

ferrari's biggest enemies are themselves

anyone that blames sainz baku for ferrari losing the title must me missing a part of their frontal lobe ong

like you can occasionally blame someone, like checo getting outscored by gasly post summer break, that was a streak of losses

he is somewhat are fault for red bull poor constructors

but you can't blame for a one off event

[hushed olive]

Checo was literally outscored by zhou in the last 5 races

[snow swan]

nah im not biased what are you yapping about 🤪

[snow swan]

landos a great driver

but charles' was just better in '24

i honestly would put him on the same level as max this year

[winged dagger]

Monza was truly a great drive, and Abu Dhabi. Nothing beats Max in Brazil tho imo, that was a true champion’s drive.

I think Charles is the 2nd best driver on the grid but I don’t think he’s eye to eye with Max

[snow swan]

yea in wet max is way better than everybody else, gotta give that to him

[snow swan]

in dry in equal machinery etc. it would for sure be close

like reallly close

hopefully we get a continuation of 2022 next year

[lucid gale]

zhou >>>> checo

checo deserves to be replaced frfr

wait has this year been hamilton's worst year

lando>stroll

imo

[grim egret]

people still crying for bottas? he was getting paid more than piastri, kmag,hulk,gasly,ocon,yuki and just abit under sainz

there is no way any team is going to pay him 10m a year

[snow swan]

wasnt it leclerc > sainz?

[winged dagger]

What happened to Charles during the second leg of 2022 btw

[snow swan]

genuinely i thought it was that not long sgo

[snow swan]

idk tbh

didnt watxh f1 back then

[winged dagger]

Bc Ik he got unlucky in France while starting at pole

[snow swan]

(and thats good cus i probably would still be recovering from it)

[snow swan]

more of a skill issue

literally

[winged dagger]

It wasn’t as bad as Lewis 2021

[snow swan]

just pushed too much and spun out

[winged dagger]

It’s prolly stuck in his head forever

[snow swan]

and crashed

but strategy/reliabilty managed to fuck up leclerc way earlier

monaco spain baku hungary

and redbull was just too good

[lucid gale]

binotto...

vasseur >>>

all ferrari fans still recovering from the greatest sell in history

genuinely don't understand how u can sell this badly

bahrain was a ferrari 1-2 charles grabbing fastest lap too. verstappen dnf

saudi arabia afterwards was ferrari 2-3

australia had max verstappen dnfing again and leclerc winning again

then imola gp was p6 charles and max won, miami was ferrari 2-3 and i think stuff started going downhill here

[coarse burrow]

[lucid gale]

does anyone think hamilton is still fast? or is he "no longer fast" as he claims himself?

[fiery grail]

[vital crow]

Ready for the next race

[lapis crescent]

I wish postseason testing was televised

How did some of the new drivers do for their teams?

Mainly curious about Sainz lol

[regal needle]

Carlos actually planning to make the Team back to the Top as we already know

If he made it to Q3 with Williams just like Alex Albon, I hope it happened

[barren rock]

Why do I feel Sainz in Williams will finish ahead of Perez in Red Bull in drivers standings?

[regal needle]

Who knows... He do get an Option to extend the Contract from Williams after all

If he can make Williams back to the Top, Let's hope he can

[barren rock]

I am hoping 😭🙏

My boy Sainz gonna take revenge on Ferrari and bring back the former Williams

[regal needle]

We do get New Race Engineer later

The First Female Race Engineer in F1

[regal needle]

GB3 Championship said they will bring DRS to the Series beginning in 2025

Sadly, 2025 is the Last Year we saw DRS in Formula One

[hollow marsh]

Gotta say this no longer stands

[kindred cedar]

WHAT

[regal needle]

It's Part of the 2026 Regulations

[acoustic bramble]

WHAT

what the heck

[simple anchor]

Can’t wait for Yuki to take Perez spot

I NEED it to be decided

FIA (@fia) on X

The FIA World Motor Sport Council has approved a refined version of the 2026 FIA Formula 1 concept.

#FIA #F1

Twitter · Dec 12, 2024, 7:00 AM

[wooden kettle]

yeah theyre doing something called x and z mode

which
i dont remember what it does EXACTLY but i think its just allowing you to change the wing shapes whenever midlap to affect the way the car handles

like. the downforce and stuff

someone out there has an actual comprehensive explanation probably

seems complicated imo

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/explained-2026-aerodynamic-regulations-fia-x-mode-z-mode-.26c1CtOzCmN3GfLMywrgb2

[regal needle]

They call it also as Active Aerodynamics

Both Front and Rear Wing definitely will move by itself when Manual Override is use

[wooden kettle]

In a system similar to the DRS overtaking aid, when standard Z-mode is deployed, the elements on the front and rear wings will open and be angled to allow cars to deliver greater cornering speeds.

Drivers can then switch to X-mode, which is a low-drag configuration that sees the flap angle change on both the front and rear wing to maximise straight-line speed.

The system will be driver-activated and available in certain parts of the track where lower levels of downforce are safe.

The FIA say that based on current discussions, they are anticipating it will be available for any straight line longer than three seconds.

so i got it a bit wrong but yeah

[stiff bough]

Useless overcomplication.

[wooden kettle]

agree

[stiff bough]

I have no clue how that is supposed to improve racing if everyone can go 0 wang effectively

[regal needle]

If they want to know how to make the Wing moving, They need to Practice which Button is the Manual Override

[stiff bough]

we see it every year at monza, the low drag wings make slipstream nonexistent

[wooden kettle]

idk id imagine it just takes a lot of focus out of the actual racing if you have to remember how to deploy your different modes, and where you can

[regal needle]

DRS will still be available outside F1 after 2025

[stiff bough]

how does this make it better

[wooden kettle]

yeah. so why not just keep the drs system in F1. i just dont get it honestly.

[regal needle]

F2 still wants to keep the usage of the DRS to be enabled after Lap 2 rather than Lap 1

F1 test the usage of the DRS reducal Lap to 1 Lap simply works and they use this as New Regulations in 2024

They test it during Sprint

[ocean mortar]

true love

[echo urchin]

x and z mode is basically "downforce" and "straightline speed" modes

or smth like that

[wooden kettle]

pretty much

[kindred cedar]

ahat if no other team than ferrari nails it and we getq ferrari doomination

[pseudo quail]

Probably the reduced aid from drs to overtake. Maybe it takes things back to pre-DRS era with the race craft. The teams would’ve opposed it if it was going to hurt them surely

[stiff bough]

pre DRS was pretty dreadful so I'm not sure if going back to that is a great idea

[snow swan]

gimme that

[snow swan]

he still got that dawg in him

[hushed olive]

Bro was just depressed in that weekend

[pseudo quail]

Well can’t change it ourselves. The teams must be fine with it

[rapid horizon]

oh hey your pfp is the guy that's coming to fortnite

[snow swan]

wait theres no drs after 2025?

[pseudo quail]

Well it’s there but they can use it anytime, on any straight that qualifies. And the front wing gets drs too

[golden kernel]

Have y'all seen the concepts of the 2026 car released by the FIA

Cause they look really good

2 different ones but both look really good

[snow swan]

is fia more partial towards big automotive brands rather than actual racing companies?

Is water h2o

ok my bad

that was a pretty stupid ques

[stiff bough]

F1, and yes they are

That is no secret

Reason for that is that F1/FOM want teams that provide big commercial impact. Cadillac provides that, big company, also very successful in racing, Andretti on the other hand, despite being a massive racing organization with lots of success, does not have anywhere near the same footprint

But it doesn't matter in their case since Cadillac is Andretti
