but before seb the number was just the order of the last year's constructors title

[craggy zenith]

prior to Seb it was associated with Mansell

Red Number 5 and all that

[regal needle]

Must be like from Time to Time

[unkempt wasp]

Any word from Red Bull about drivers?

[wet sequoia]

Nope

[unkempt wasp]

Something is up if they are waiting this long.

I have a feeling Hadjar won't get a seat, but they are going to fill the spare with Collapinto or another veteran driver.

[wet sequoia]

More like Perez is dragging it out

[unkempt wasp]

Let it be Bottas in the RB19

[wet sequoia]

Nobody knows the full extent of his contract

[unkempt wasp]

Do we know that for sure?

[wet sequoia]

Horner had said they will take all the appropriate measures to secure an ideal team for 2025 with all options available and Perez has insisted he has a contract for 2025

[raven wagon]

He actually has one yeah

But Redbull has shit tons of money

[wet sequoia]

Well the basis was a 1+1 so it comes off as secured for 2025 and the option to freely cut before 2026

So the 2025 contract is the problem now, it was extremely stupid of Red Bull to extend when Perez was faltering again

[regal needle]

I think if it's Yuki Tsunoda, Then it should be

This Week, We still await further News from Red Bull about who will be in the Grid alongside Max to replace Checo

Racing Bulls still need their One Driver

[regal needle]

Red Bull is announcing the Driver Line-Up this Afternoon

I think it's gonna be Liam Lawson who will drive for Red Bull Racing

[wet sequoia]

First I’ve heard of a pending announcement

[eternal rose]

sky sports uk posting soon too

[regal needle]

Let's Standby when F1 alongside Red Bull and Racing Bulls confirm it

[eternal rose]

Yuki has been stuck at vcarb/alpha tauri for 5 years now 😭 it took lawson less than a year of driving in F1 to get that red bull seat

[regal needle]

I mean, It should have been Liam who drive Full Time in 2023 rather than Nyck de Vries

Racing Bulls found it very very a Mistake to sign him

[snow swan]

A lot of Sky reports are saying the same with different languages. ( looks like dude is out for Lawson) Yuki must be fuming

[vernal holly]

Poor Yuki

Bro this morning I went for a haircut and my barber cuts the hair for one of the Red Bull mechanics and he said so many people are leaving

[cyan saffron]

Technically only Seb as before numbers were assigned.

i think everyone knew liam would get it anyways.

You do know that it's Red Bull, and if Liam is not doing well, he will get demoted to the Racing Bulls, and Yuki will be in the seat.

oh they deleted the tweet

[feral flicker]

bro lawson must have payed so much to even be considered he has such a big mouth and not so much skill

[grim anvil]

It's just funny to me that if it is Liam over Yuki, then why waste time with Yuki by putting him in the red bull for post abu dhabi when their mind was already preset on Liam lol

just let Liam do the testing

[feral flicker]

yeah maybe they didnt want liam to wreck the car on the first day driving it🤣

[grim anvil]

lmfao

[feral flicker]

i really hope yuki gets it

he has beat max in equal machineray millions of times already and he all know what a good learner and driver Max is

liam just has an ego thicker then Strolls eyebrows

[lament spindle]

bro not only that but why extend his contract in the first place

[grim anvil]

red bull management is comedy central

I get they're doing their due diligence with Yuki to give him a fair shot at it, but they were already dead set on Liam. Put him in the car and get him acclimated early instead of beating around the bush.

[stiff bough]

Yuki doing the post season test had been decided many months before this

[stiff bough]

...when?

[feral flicker]

haha i wasnt being too serious about that lol i meant in all the funny rb x redbull challange videos

[willow orchid]

I dont think that Liam is good enough for Red bull

[rapid horizon]

liam getting the seat and not yuki?

[willow orchid]

In the sense that he doesnt have that much f1 experience

[rapid horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-crazy-tweaking-gif-4067226411243797381

[willow orchid]

So redbull is pretty much gambling here

Hoping it goes well

yuki would absolutely shred in that redbull

[lavish egret]

you can see just fine out of it tho

[remote knoll]

bro cant believe his eyes

ok no bias but like why isnt anyone voting alex ovetake in canada for overtake of the year

[remote knoll]

I feel like there was a better overtake

oh yea

Checo's overtake in Vegas

https://youtube.com/shorts/9zOoSaZ13cY?si=Stb3BKysfPWo0Pku

[sharp veldt]

damn ferrari is going all out

[sharp veldt]

he was tbh robbed for action of the year but for overtake of the year tbh there were better

i'd vote either albon or leclerc in AD tho for overtake of the yr

[lost moat]

oh thats definitely up there. i think the checo situation right now was definitelt a factor for people who voted overtake of the month

[snow swan]

The best thing tsunoda can do rn is train non stop do nothing but sim work and gym work get into top shape and absolutely blow hadjar out the water and have a flawless season

[ancient sand]

Become 6'7 and bench 500

[torn eagle]

tsunoda has worked his whole career for that seat 😭

[odd thorn]

that image is cursed 💀

[analog merlin]

yeah it's better but it's not even qualified for overtake of the year

[rocky timber]

Is it Checover , yet?

[split bane]

Unfortunately it isn't Checover until the announcement that Lawson will take his seat

[rocky timber]

Oh wow Lawson, hopefully he doesn't end up like Gasly or Albon

[remote knoll]

I fear that he will

This man is being rushed into the RB seat quicker than both Gasly and Albon

[kindred cedar]

yeh

yuki hsould be put in it

but noo he hasnt beaten enough teammates

[stiff bough]

hasn’t he literally beaten everyone except gasly 😭

[kindred cedar]

yeah

but i guess he needs to beat max in unequal machinery before becoming his temamate

[pseudo quail]

Yuki would probably leave with honda anyway

If he was faster they’d probably put him in. Lawson isn’t bringing in checo money anyway

[lament spindle]

this might’ve been Lance’s and William’s go to song before they went out onto the track to race for this whole season

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYX7mUN3/

[tranquil surge]

➡️

No way it doesn't happen

[cyan basalt]

yuki is pretty immature

[remote knoll]

how come

[stiff vine]

Yuki is a silly short guy

[acoustic bramble]

[limpid bluff]

Yuki became much more mature this year. And no one will be happy when they can never get promoted

[queen orbit]

I would swap miami with monza

[wet sequoia]

Not on the track, absolutely not

He took 5 laps to let Ricciardo pass in Bahrain and only on the last lap which threw away a lot of data

Everytime his engineers said to box or to stay out and Tsunoda didn’t want to do what they wanted he cried and moaned in the radio

And whenever he was given a preferred team order and Ricciardo/Lawson didn’t do it instantly he would get aggressive

No, Tsunoda is not the team driver and can’t be trusted to do that while driving

[long tusk]

Let me add Monaco ( I like formation laps )

[limpid bluff]

I mean, if these is called immature, then many drivers are babies lmao.

Hamilton, Max, George, Sainz, etc

[wet sequoia]

A lot of drivers aren’t immature to this degree, Yuki has done what, 4 seasons and still acts like a kid

Hamilton and George complain but don’t fight back to this degree

Max and Sainz believes the track revolves around them but they can also back it up with their racing

As much as I hate to say it

[limpid bluff]

I mean, lets admit Vcarb strats are sometimes like 🤡

And drivers need to fight for their results for a promotion

[wet sequoia]

They are, least half of Ricciardo’s place droppings this year is because of strategists

[limpid bluff]

No one cares why they score less points

Everyone just look at their results

The best examples are Valtteri and Zhou.

[wet sequoia]

Yuki hasn’t flogged Lawson though, definitely not last year and this year yes he’s out qualified but ever race he barely stays ahead of Lawson

Zhou hasn’t improved much, he’s in that Sauber yes but even before this year he hasn’t gotten that much better

Bottas went from a top team to a back marker, it says a lot already but it is a shame he has had shit TP’s since Fred left for Ferrari

[limpid bluff]

Well he was one of the racer that scored in his first race, so I would say he is a good-enough mid field racer.

Good long pace but pushing not hard enough in qualis...

Anyways just an example, showing Drivers will just get ruined by a team.
So I don't think that fighting for themselves on track are something wrong as a driver.

[raven wagon]

Zhou this year still got outraced massively by Valtteri

Its actually worse compared to last year

Think he even qualified last 8 times in a row

[limpid bluff]

Well they almost never have the same upgrade, so hard to compare...

Sauber cannot afford to provide upgrades to both car at the same time lmao

[raven wagon]

You mean Williams?

Never heard Sauber being poor to not afford upgrades

[wet sequoia]

Sauber had a lot of changes going into this year

It’s no surprise they sucked but I am surprised it took until Qatar for just one driver to score points

[raven wagon]

52 seconds pitstops and reliability robbed Valtteri and Zhou of scoring points in the early races

[limpid bluff]

Well because I'll always look at the post-race interviews

Zhow oftenly get upgrades 1-2 GP later than Bottas

Just starting in Vegas, they race in the same version of car

[limpid bluff]

Yes they are competitive enough in the start of the year but the pits are disgusting

And also the anti-stall in Sauber cars

[cyan saffron]

Well, Sauber is quite poor though.

They were so desperate in money they did that Stake/Kick sponsorship.

[raven wagon]

And now they are richer because of that

[wet sequoia]

Also why they sold 100% ownership to Audi

[limpid bluff]

Sauber's car always has a "diudiudiu" noise during racing

[limpid bluff]

But turn out that Audi is poor too

[cyan saffron]

Sauber also manages to have weird issues no other team has.

[wet sequoia]

And sold a part to Qatar

And closed all their other racing programs

[limpid bluff]

Anti Stall, Pit stops, Gear Box, Microphones, Drinking systems, Upgrades, Strategies

Can't imagine this is an F1 team with long history

[cyan saffron]

yeah

[limpid bluff]

And the aero efficiency is disastrous

High downforce rear wing but with low corner speed.
Low downforce rear wing but will be overtaken easily in straights.

What’s wild is they kept him after spa and then after is Singapore and we knew Danny wasn’t it either

[lethal bramble]

Wow it happened

[coarse obsidian]

Yup

[surreal abyss]

Sainz must be hitting himself on the wall after seeing a seat on RB free and knowing he will have to drive a Williams

[candid salmon]

If Yuki doesn't get the seat I hope he leaves VCARB on the spot

[regal needle]

Well, Carlos still definitely gonna drive with Williams

He already plans to make sure the Team get back on Top

There's no way Carlos can terminating the Agreement now

[surreal abyss]

Yeah

[surreal abyss]

El Plan 2.0

[regal needle]

Let's just let the Smooth Operator drive for Williams so that he can make the Team reach the Top again

I know Carlos can do well when he race with Albon

[reef ether]

We need to talk more about how a Sainz and Albon is a scary line-up.

[regal needle]

How can it?

[reef ether]

James Vowel’s a genius. Sainz is a miltiple race winner… and Albon is a really good driver as he’s proven countless times.

[split bane]

First Albon has to prove that he is really a good driver and it wasn't the "greatest Williams driver" just because Sargeant was there

[regal needle]

James had been experiencing his First Time as Team Principal back in 2023

He's been thinking about working as Team Principal for sometimes when he still at Mercedes

[storm rock]

Well

Checo out

[surreal abyss]

We all knew this would happen

[split bane]

could've happened a lot earlier, like already in Spa

[drifting geyser]

The issue is, where else would he go

[candid salmon]

Alpine

I think Alpine would absolutely take Yuki over Doohan if presented with the choice

especially with the Gasly partnership which is proven to work

[drifting geyser]

I'm not so sure, even though I rate Yuki

[ornate adder]

Well u’re right after all

[split bane]

Cadillac maybe? or in AM after Alonso in 2027 i think

[regal needle]

I think Cadillac might just do for Checo

But i'm unsure with that

[lament spindle]

the problem would be that both Tsunoda and Gasly have stated that they themselves would find it more difficult to be teammates now since they are very competitive and acknowledge that it wouldnt be the same like it was back in 2021 when Yuki first got in (basically they would turn into their own version brocedes)

[split bane]

at this point i hope Checo never returns back to F1, he is the rapresentant of an old pilot preventing young and promising drivers to enter F1 and do good

[regal needle]

I'm not sure if he can do Good with another Team in the Future

Because he is not Good enough all Season so far

[lament spindle]

fuck it Checo go for the triple crown

[split bane]

maybe checo can go in wec... idk if he even wants to go there

[regal needle]

David Crofty: As we were saying, This could be his Final Race (Abu Dhabi) for the Red Bull Team and it is ended before the Final Lap

Crofty definitely predict that

[coarse obsidian]

Not that hard to predict

[pseudo quail]

Worst kept secret really

[split bane]

Also italian commentators were saying that during the race weekend or shortly after the race he would have signed the contract to leave RB, even with a 20 millions bonus to convince him even more to leave

[regal needle]

I think i could try check the BBC 5

Harry Benjamin might also predict it but i wasn't sure if he was

[regal needle]

We'll be hearing who will take that Red Bull Seat Tomorrow

[lament spindle]

maybe but at the same time; i stopped caring cuz i just wanna know where yuki goes 2026

[regal needle]

We'll see where he goes

[dense falcon]

Long overdue, sucks he walked all together from RBRPT because having a job (ambassador) vs no F1 anything for 25....

[regal needle]

Imagine if he continues in 2025, He still gonna cause downfall to Red Bull

[dense falcon]

There isn't a seat for 25

Maybe 26 with Caddy

[regal needle]

Sure he might consider Cadillac for his next Team

But he needs to find a way to make sure he can avoid winless

[south heron]

man I wish RB would take Yuki even though we all know they won't

[rapid horizon]

rpm gonna have a field day with checo's departure and stroll when his next vid comes out

[spare violet]

Will colapinto be a choice for rb for 2025 or no?

[spare violet]

Wish so

[regal needle]

If he is Good enough to drive for Red Bull, I think he will get that Chance

But somehow, I still see Liam is the consideration to be in Red Bull

[spare violet]

Yup

[fast fable]

No.

[dense falcon]

No, his accidents ensured that

[spare violet]

True

F1 Nation will have an Episode about Sergio Perez Later

[regal needle]

This could be coincidence because:
Sergio Perez has 2 Year Contract with Racing Point move to Red Bull
Sergio Perez has 2 Year Contract with Red Bull but terminated after the end of the 2024 Season

Guess that'll make sense

[paper atlas]

Took them long enough to decide to fire checo

[hushed wadi]

wednesday as it turns out

[regal needle]

We'll be hearing Tomorrow on who is replacing Checo

I'm sure Racing Bulls got their Driver Line-up as well once Red Bull Racing announced Checo's replacement

[desert sundial]

It wasnt already confirmed to be Lawson?

[hushed olive]

I hope it is tsunoda instead of lawson

Lawson barely has experience

[lament spindle]

it’s gonna be Lawson and I just hope he doesn’t fall victim to whatever fuck type of curse that 2nd seat brings

OH MY

No

Outrageous

Poor Yuki

I think no Time for Yuki to end the 1 Year Contract he agreed on

Let's let him Race for Racing Bulls for 1 More Season

His Teammate will be announced Later

[thin warren]

Justice for YUKI!

[reef ether]

for real

[simple yew]

yay

lawson

[rigid salmon]

Redbull edged yuki so badly

[twin geode]

Poor Yuki, what a joke

[simple yew]

hahahahahahha kiwi driver in a redbull lesh go

[royal warren]

Yuki deserves it more

[simple yew]

lawson got the seat so too bad

[reef ether]

But it also kinda makes sense… RB wanted both teams to be competitive.

[wet sequoia]

Hold on lads, let me grab a carton of cider to watch the drama and crying commence

[lavish ore]

Yuki deserves better

[bitter plank]

Good point actually that hasn’t really been a talking point

[lavish ore]

I also fear for him if hadjar gets the vcarb seat

[wet sequoia]

I’m going to enjoy THAT drama

[regal needle]

Perez definitely won't have a Seat until 2026

If he ever considered to join Cadillac for sure

[hushed wadi]

hadjar is definitely getting that seat... unless??????????

[wet sequoia]

2 drivers with the driving mentality of a wet paper bag when the slightest thing goes wrong for them

[bitter plank]

Apparently he’s gonna join Ferrari WEC possibly

[lavish ore]

So we're gonna get like... 6 rookies next year? If hadjar gets the seat

[lavish ore]

hopefully not another gasly albon situation

[mortal rain]

they're throwing lawson into the lava end of the pool

bro has less experience than either gasly or albon upon promoting

[tepid coral]

Just saw the announcement from RB

[reef ether]

anything is possible… even a mid-season switcheroo with yuki when both teams have secured constructors points.

[regal needle]

Right

[queen orbit]

LAVA END OF THE POOL 😭😭😭😭

nice one (referring to the phrase not anything against lawson)

[crimson sundial]

WHY NOT TSUNODA

We all knew it would be Lawson replacing him anyway

lol

wonder what the next announced move is

more reserve driver nonsense?

[narrow garnet]

probably Hadjar to racing bulls

[spring mural]

probably but i wanna see that last spot be delayed as long as possible

so who's the next reserve driver announced? Zhou?

[harsh terrace]

He called Sauber a mistake lol

[sharp veldt]

it's a dumb community note tho. the tweet was abt him leaving after mexico lol

it was funny af but in context it wasn't rly an accurate note for that tweet

why is he yelling 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

He's free from sauber and is little too excited

[hushed olive]

he is glad he doesnt have to drive the sauber tractor anymore

[opal trench]

VERY COOL VALTTERI GOOD JOB

[slate verge]

so this sort of explains why Yuki wasn't chosen and why Liam was

[opal trench]

"All the factors involved"

Bro what?

😭

[flint anvil]

I believe him

[slate verge]

im guessing Honda is one of them

[royal scarab]

I don't mind a bit of Liam vs Oscar

[round sand]

%99 i guess

[grave cosmos]

Surely theres no discrimination at play here given performance-wise, Yuki has huge edge over Liam Lawson

[sharp veldt]

stop he rly said he was free from that shit ass team

[gusty nexus]

Bottas confirmed?

[coarse obsidian]

yes

[gusty nexus]

awesome

[copper flame]

f in f1 stands for fortnite

[coral spade]

Well the thing is yuki is fast, but seems like a bit unstable emotionaly

[pseudo quail]

Perez should take stroll with him to wec

[zealous ginkgo]

f1 2021 crazy drifting

[stiff bough]

Their #1 driver literally had a meltdown just a few months ago over strategy.

and if we're talking about emotionally unstable, Liam Lawson intentionally blocked Nojiri during qualifying at Suzuka in Super Formula, not to mention his comments on the radio towards Perez and flipping him off on the straight as he passed him

So that argument doesn't really hold up

[winged dagger]

prime max or prime lewis y’all

[real nova]

Let's be fair... Yuki got to be in a Main RB car only during the post-race test season, so it is a pretty normal scenario for him to struggle with it a bit since he's obviously gonna be new to the drastic jump in upgrades and car performance... Imo, just one test drive didn't help him at all

[winged dagger]

imo yuki deserved the 2025 seat but he’ll be axed after 2025 considering honda’s leaving RB. BUT I AGREE that liam should’ve had one more year in the VCARB to get more experience

[real nova]

I agree... I feel Liam's still too inexperienced for a Main RB car yet

[winged dagger]

we might have another gasly 2.0, or albon 2.0

[real nova]

Yuki, on the other hand, has like 4 years of experience. It's just that the expiring deal with Honda acts as an obstacle for him to be promoted, which is pretty depressing to witness

[real nova]

I'm afraid so...

[winged dagger]

i doubt liam has the ability to pull a max in that RB car with that level of experience

[winged dagger]

besides max had a full season in torro rosso

soo

[real nova]

True, true! Idk why RB is making the same mistake for the 3rd time...

This is most likely gonna end badly for Liam

[winged dagger]

RB should’ve went with Carlos like early during the 2024 season

Carlos’ the smartest choice back then

[real nova]

Yeah! But the issue with finding a suitable match as Max's teammate is also there-

Nvm, Carlos would be a better choice than Liam in this case

[winged dagger]

Hell I’d take Bottas over Liam/Yuki

😭

Bottas has shown on multiple occasions he’s a good wingman

[real nova]

Idk what that Horner was thinking when he decided to put a literal hothead as another hothead's teammate 💀

2025 is gonna be dramatic within the RBs for sure lmao

[winged dagger]

I don’t think we need to discuss how good he is as a second driver

😂

[real nova]

He actually sounds really awesome as Max's teammate :0

Dude's also kinda chill compared to Max, so the conflicts between them are probably gonna be less

[winged dagger]

But I doubt he’ll be able to be on par with Max as he did with lewis back then

Rn

[stiff bone]

Racist Bull Racing

[winged arrow]

between yuki and liam, i do feel that liam has more upside as a driver

however yukis experience cannot be understated at this point

it’s very surprising red bull are once again going for the younger, more f1 inexperienced driver

yuki has had his rough spots, but overall he’s been able to out perform his teammates so i don’t know why they wouldn’t promote him

[leaden marsh]

The reason was because of Lawson's race pace, versatility, and potential for growth.

[leaden marsh]

I also feel like max and yuki personalities would conflict one another's.

[near pecan]

Yea, a potential for growth they can nurture in VCARB not a top end team which could possibly fight for constructors next year and if not wins and podiums

[leaden marsh]

What I said was stripped directly from what Chrisitan Horner said.

[leaden marsh]

"In those 11 races, though, Lawson proved to be on par with Tsunoda’s performance level – although the Japanese driver still came out on top, Lawson’s quick adaptation to Formula 1 impressed the Red Bull management."

[near pecan]

Dayum ok horner ig

[leaden marsh]

I truly do think his temperament is one of the big reasons hes not being paired with max

VCARB CEO Peter Bayer earlier this year "There is still a sense that Tsunoda lacks the maturity and mental fortitude to be able to handle dealing with the pressure put on Red Bull’s second driver when paired with Max Verstappen."

[sonic epoch]

Lol Lawson isnt mature either

[near pecan]

He has calmed down a considerable amount since 2023, hes even said before hes gone to anger therapy but ig that makes sense because both are quite aggressive but then again so can lawson. Bro legit gave perez the middle finger in his homerace

[fiery compass]

They were planning to make a collab but it got canceled

[leaden marsh]

I think horner just needed to make a decision and picked lawson

[sonic epoch]

Yuki probably dodged a bullet Red bull ain't gonna be fast in 2026

[fiery compass]

Eenie meenie

[leaden marsh]

Literally

This is what the big guy said

[near pecan]

Good point tbh with newey gone their gonna be dropping back big style

[leaden marsh]

“Well, Yuki has done four years with our sister team, and he’s a driver that’s growing in experienced and doing a good job,” he said.

“I think that what we felt in Liam in what he’s achieved in such a short space of time, the trajectory that he’s on looks really promising.

“That doesn’t rule Yuki out for the future. It’s just that at this juncture in time, we believe that Liam has got the right characteristics, the right strength of character to deal with the pressure that comes with being Max Verstappen’s teammate.”

-Christian Horner

[remote knoll]

Horner

[warped marsh]

How we feeling for Redbull now?

[remote knoll]

I know more than you

shouldve listened to me

[remote knoll]

not great

[leaden marsh]

Get this guy in contact with him rn

[remote knoll]

but not terrible

[leaden marsh]

I wanna see bottas in a mercedes again

[sonic epoch]

Put him in the gt3 Mercedes

[warped marsh]

That’s true and then Bottas as a reserve? Wow

[clear light]

Watch Perez come back as the experienced driver for Cadillac

[coarse obsidian]

Nope

[clear light]

It’s either him, bottas or Zhou

[coarse obsidian]

No, No and No.

[royal scarab]

Bottas is never leaving Mercedes again

He's seen what it's like out there

[spring heron]

Colapinto to Cadillac

As it’s stands

[royal scarab]

Pourchaire to Alpine

[snow swan]

I'm glad yuki got overlooked

[royal scarab]

He didn't get overlooked

He was tested and came up short

Pun not intended

[snow swan]

kind of means the same thing

[royal scarab]

Literally doesn't

They gave him a good hard look while he was testing tyres

And probably even more behind closed doors

[snow swan]

literally does

[royal scarab]

Liam is just better and it's not even shocking

A better fit, mind

Not necessarily a better driver

But whatever they wanted to see, bro had it over yuki

[snow swan]

easier to work with, not temperemental like a child

[royal scarab]

One of probably many qualities that landed him the seat

[stiff bough]

not temperemental like a child

I guess you havent really paid attention to Lawson then ?

[rapid horizon]

brother doesn't wanna take the risk of joining a new team again😭🙏

[coarse obsidian]

Yes Sauber was a mistake. But I want to know if he other options.

[royal scarab]

Probably not, coming back to a company you drove for only to be reserve is nobody's first option

So he probably had no offers on the table anyway

[storm drum]

The only thing I'm banking on rn is Bottas returning mercedes. Im sorry but the Lawson new I need a couple minutes to accept.

[storm drum]

Agreed on this one, Yuki has improved considerably in his temperment and Lawson.......mmmm well he got the seat so i guess it doesn't matter now.

2025's gonna be weird.

[fluid yew]

Any hints on next RB driver?

[remote knoll]

Hadjar

Isack Hadjar

[fluid yew]

Is that known or speculation

[rugged grove]

He accidentally said in an interview pretty much

[fluid yew]

Lol

That'll do it

[remote knoll]

Also Idk who else would get the seat

if it isn't Hadjar then RB have completely lost it

[kindred cedar]

its basically confirmed

unless they want like checo to go to vcarb or sum

[remote knoll]

hell nah

[tawny mason]

And even if it wasn't confirmed in said interview Lawson to red bull pretty much confirmed it

[crude star]

💀

[wooden kettle]

i would rage.

[remote knoll]

I would have to become a Checo hater if he went to Vcarb

[wooden kettle]

right like

ok i’ll admit i’m a checo disliker
i will absolutely admit thay

but checo to vcarb will make me rage

the spot is like 90% hadjars anyways

[lucid gale]

RED BULL ARE RACIST CONFIRMED

[wooden kettle]

i am a hadjar doubter

[hexed zephyr]

what

[vocal lynx]

been telling ppl this lol

[lucid gale]

I hope red bull build a car that flies next year (no downforce and aero)

[alpine meadow]

Lawson is gonna turn out exactly like how albon did

Yes he can probably get one or two podiums but his career is gonna get chucked

Red Bull will likely not be higher than 3rd fastest next season cause newey is gone but they’re still going to expect podiums and wins out of lawson when their car belongs on the third row

[snow swan]

Off season hype squad let's goooo!

We install F1 23 again tonight

[echo urchin]

i forgot newey left red bull

[buoyant trail]

I thought newey still had influence on 2025 car no? There’s no way they didn’t put a little thought into it this year

Or am I wrong, is the gap between his influence on red bull and his influence on Aston that vacation year everyone was saying was in his contract

[raven wagon]

Newey is doing the RB17 hypercar

[alpine meadow]

Maybe he did help with some R&D for 2025 but he for sure won’t be there to help with upgrades and we all saw how Red Bull fell off this year

Won’t be surprised if red bull ends up worse than this year

[buoyant trail]

I believe Alonso say on the f1 beyond the grid podcast that newey would have little to no affect on the 2025 Aston until late season, but I do agree red bulls fall off will be insane next year

[buoyant trail]

Forgot that thing existed lol

They should try to enlist that in f1 instead of the brick they make next year

[raven wagon]

Tbf Mclaren when Newey left for Redbull back in 2005 still competed for the championship for like the next few years up till 2012

Won the 2008 wdc

[buoyant trail]

I mean they did have Lewis AND Alonso in 07, that was probably a lot of good feedback for the car, and kept Hamilton until 2012

Idk I guess I’m just delusional because I can’t tell if I want Lawson or Alonso to have a top car 😵‍💫

[fossil heron]

if it isn't hadjar, Marko needs put in a psych ward

[wet sequoia]

Except Marko isn’t the one making decisions

He’s only an advisor and glorified talent scout

[winged dagger]

Lewis was in both cars 2 and 3 right

Cars 2 as his own car, Cars 3 as some ai shit

[regal needle]

It's just a Commentating Interview

[sharp veldt]

i still can't get rid of mine! 😭

[buoyant trail]

Yes

[regal needle]

Yes he is

[sharp veldt]

caption

[buoyant trail]

He was a race car in cars 2 and the personal assistant for that yellow fella in cars 3

[ornate gate]

Cars 2 was the best Cars

[regal needle]

Lewis voice in Cars 3 kinda almost feel Different

But Cars 2 was a Spy Film

[ornate gate]

Cars 2 > Cars >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cars 3

[sharp veldt]

yellow was spoiling his ferrari move?

[regal needle]

They had James Bond on it

[buoyant trail]

We should’ve seen it coming

Cars 2 is still the best even if it was focused on spy

The soundtrack was great

[regal needle]

They could have the James Bond Portrait more Good

[sharp veldt]

i hope nicole piastri is ok with the red bull news

[buoyant trail]

And the racing premises was unique, having one car from multiple major series is kind fun

[sharp veldt]

i saw a tweet abt lewis following charles and that indicated his ferrari move

[regal needle]

Liam Lawson should have his own Pixar Cast Role one Day

He love Cars

[buoyant trail]

She’s telling Oscar to divebomb Liam into turn one in Aus as we speak

[sharp veldt]

sometimes i wonder if nicole loves oscar more than yuki

[buoyant trail]

Biologically sure but as a driver no chance

[buoyant trail]

Lawson VA for a rb17 hyper car in cars 4 calling it now

[regal needle]

That could do it

[sharp veldt]

she would prob commit crimes for oscar as a driver tbh

i could see her at an fia stewards mtg

[regal needle]

All Nicole can do is doing Support too

Film critic opinion

[snow nymph]

Exactly it would be awesome, we even heard Charlos’s voices in Spanish and Italian for the Pixar movie Lightyear as well

[vast lion]

HADJAAARRRR

[regal needle]

Grid is complete!

Let's get ready for the 2025 Season!

[quiet tiger]

Time can't possibly pass by fast enough

[regal needle]

Well, What start from Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari to Isack Hadjar joining the F1 Grid with RB, That led us into a Long Journey awaits

[echo urchin]

would liam, ollie, and doohan count as rookies, even tho they raced this year?

if so there is gonna be 6 rookies

[proven leaf]

7

BECAUSE MY MAN ALONSO IS FOREVER A ROOKIEEEE

[regal needle]

I mean, Who should start at the Beginning of the 2025 Season Intro?

[proven leaf]

Wdc order

💪

[echo urchin]

probably one of the rookies

gabriel, isack or like maybe doohan

[wet sequoia]

Hadjar, he was the last one signed

Hadjar, Bortoleto, Kimi, Doohan then the rest of the grid by points in 2024

[regal needle]

I'd say this is my Prediction for the 2025 Intro Start to end:
Isack Hadjar
Gabriel Bortoleto
Andrea Kimi Antonelli
Jack Doohan
Liam Lawson
Ollie Bearman
Alex Albon
Esteban Ocon
Lance Stroll
Yuki Tsunoda
Nico Hulkenberg
Pierre Gasly
Fernando Alonso
Lewis Hamilton
George Russell
Carlos Sainz
Oscar Piastri
Charles Leclerc
Lando Norris
Max Verstappen

[wet sequoia]

You would be correct with that

[regal needle]

Isack Hadjar should be the First One in the Beginning

[wet sequoia]

That’s 6 new fresh faces from season start

[regal needle]

3 Rookies will have a 1 Year Contract for 2025 Season and it will be renewed if their Perform excellent during their Season

That includes Liam

[wet sequoia]

Doohan is technically a rookie as well

Lawson and Bearman are not rookies

They’ve done more then 2 races

[regal needle]

Liam will get his chance to have his Contract renewed if Red Bull knows he perform Excellent

[wet sequoia]

It might be their first full year but by FIA standards those 2 aren’t rookies

[echo urchin]

for an entire season they are rookies but yea

[wet sequoia]

I doubt anyone new will join 2026

[regal needle]

Returning might consider about being part of Cadillac

[wet sequoia]

They’ve been vocal about a rookie and a veteran

And a lot of rumours point to, urgh, Herta or wherever his name is

[regal needle]

Colton Herta

[wet sequoia]

But for the other 10 teams they’ll more then likely carry over into 2026

[lethal bramble]

The 2025 grid is DECIDED
McLaren: Norris, Piastri
Ferrari: Leclerc, Hamilton
Red Bull: Verstappen, Lawson
Mercedes: Russell, Antonelli
Aston Martin: Alonso, Stroll
Alpine: Gasly, Doohan
Haas: Ocon, Bearman
RB: Tsunoda, Hadjar
Williams: Sainz, Albon
Sauber: Hulkenberg, Bortoleto

[ornate tartan]

It’s a shame that Colapinto isn’t there

[regal needle]

Franco might hope that Cadillac will signed him

It'll be heard in 2025 when we know who will be in Cadillac

[echo urchin]

aint it crazy we r living in a time where lawson is in a redbull and we got all these rookies coming in

i swear it feels like we have had the same ppl in f1 for like 5 yrs

[regal needle]

Remember when F1 had a lot of Rookie before in the past Season?

[regal needle]

Lewis still in the 2023 Ferrari Suit

[echo urchin]

i cant wait till he is actually photographed in a ferrari suit

itll look so odd

[regal needle]

Probably Ferrari 2025 Suit will be Red, Yellow and Black

[echo urchin]

only thing im hoping for in the ferrari livery is that they dont spam the HP logo everywhere

the white areas on the 2024 car looked meh

[regal needle]

They have UniCredit as their New Sponsors Later

They would try place it beside the HP Logo

Or at the Center

[mortal rain]

2025 is about to be cinema

[regal needle]

2025: The Year of the Rookie

[vestal hatch]

Alonso gonna win it again

[mortal rain]

can't believe the only untouched teams consist of a nepo baby and a very solid, young driver duo

[simple yew]

hey yall how are yall

[low elbow]

Or maybe
Gabriel Bortoleto
Nico Hulkenberg
Alex Albon
Carlos Sainz
Isack Hadjar
Yuki Tsunoda
Oliver Bearman
Esteban Ocon
Jack Doohan
Pierre Gasly
Lance Stroll
Fernando Alonso
Andrea Kimi Antonelli
Liam Lawson
Lewis Hamilton
George Russell
Oscar Piastri
Charles Leclerc
Lando Norris
Max Verstappen

[vagrant hearth]

My thought is that the bottom three would be based on the F2 standings, so Kimi first, Hadjar, and then Bortoleto

[zealous ginkgo]

half of the grid changed

[hushed olive]

All teams changed drivers
Except Mclaren and aston

Mclaren doesnt need it
Stroll has lifetime contract

[long tangle]

Has the Horny one resigned yet?

[round sand]

who?

You meant Horner?

Horner promoted Liam Lawson to Red Bull Racing instead Perez

Isack Hadjar got Liam Lawson's seat

didn't understand what you meant

[long tangle]

One of his messages to Fiona H was "I'm Horny" - which is why he's now known as the Horny one.

[round sand]

oh okay

[kindred cedar]

what was this year then

[lethal bramble]

The end of an era

Throwback to when the F1 admin had to become the flash for the Austrian GP winner graphic

[brave tree]

IT IS CONFIRMED WHAT THE HELL ?

[lethal bramble]

Close enough, welcome back internet explorer

[dire hollow]

Absolutely wild

[south heron]

did they just defrost you

[wet sequoia]

Unsure if you’re serious or joking?

[left flame]

ur lying

[south heron]

damn you're so pessimistic on Albon and optimistic on Sainz 😭

[lethal bramble]

I think she's talking about the F1 drivers intro video, not WDC standings

[south heron]

oh

nvm then

[buoyant trail]

Is it just me or do some of these rookies not seem “f1 coded”

Like usually f1 drivers look like they’d be an f1 driver but for me bearman and doohan don’t have that feature

It’s weird losing so many faces we’ve had for a while

[sharp veldt]

albon and leclerc robbed overtake of the yr

[coarse obsidian]

Back in F1 with RB, lol

[proven leaf]

I agree with doohan but not bear

Hey guys

[obtuse lodge]

What’s everyone’s favourite ever Grand Prix? Mine is Valencia 2012. An astoundingly boring track that delivered one of the most chaotic races of the season that year

[plain totem]

F1 gen in state of chaos rn, WHERE ARE THE MODS

[obtuse lodge]

Yeah that chat is quite a mess atm

[sharp veldt]

wait

[hushed olive]

Of all time: Germany 2019
That i watched live: Brazil this year
Honorable mentions: Abu dhabi 2021,Brazil 2008

[obtuse lodge]

Hockenheim being painfully absent is such a shame. Unfortunately until we get another German wunderkind we likely won’t see it back on the grid

[obtuse lodge]

Brazil ‘08 was such a classic. As painful as it was to see poor Felipe lose it at home Hamilton rightly deserved to be champion after that phenomenal rookie campaign the year prior

[hushed olive]

Fr

Also Brazil 2024 was the wildest race in ages
Max winning from near last
Midfielders on podium
Rain,Crashes,Red flag,Battles
Lando choking a easy win

Interlagos is such a great circuit

[obtuse lodge]

Interlagos just has to be the season’s closer it’s always delivered some absolute classics

[wicked remnant]

Tbh Melbourne is the perfect opener and Brazil is the perfect closer

[quiet island]

I don't like Melbourne as the opener because of the time in America

Abu Dhabi is a good closer because it's at night, gives off better vibes

[neat fern]

Any wdc 2025 leaderboard predictions?

[lilac rose]

1 George 2 Charles 3 Lando

[neat fern]

Nah, bortoletto

[sand storm]

6 rookies is crazy, i'm so excited

5 if you don't count liam but yk

good shit

[cyan saffron]

Depending on how you count them it's either 4 or 6.

but anyway, very excited

[sand storm]

me too

i was counting people who haven't been in f1 full time before

[sand storm]

i was just playing that the other day

[zealous ginkgo]

it changed too much

[stark pendant]

hi guys

[round sand]

guys there's a rumour about checo

they say he'll race in wec for ferrari in 2025

[stiff bough]

thats not possible

ferrari is full for 2025

#50 has Fuoco, Molina, and Nielson
#51 has Pier Guidi, Calado, and Giovinazzi
#83 has Ye (not Kanye), Hanson, and Kubica

@round sand

[junior granite]

also the site that reported it is pretty untrustworthy

[real nova]

This article is Helmut Marko talking about why Main RB chose Liam over Yuki... This specific ss here is supposedly about Yuki's reaction...

He reacted positively ❌
He just accepted his fate ✅
(Imo)

[surreal flame]

Think of the Australians for every single other round apart from Las Vegas and maybe two others

[fossil heron]

A shocking amount of races actually kinda suck for the US east coast, they're pretty much all at either 5am or like 12pm, even the ones in the US are sometimes inconvenient to try to watch

[stiff bough]

most of the races are between 8-11am though

[wet sequoia]

Euro races are midnight and the Americas (Besides Vegas) and Qatar are 3-5am

Oh nevermind you are an Australian

[proven leaf]

Lando wdc , Charles p2 , max p3

[clear light]

I think the grid will be very close next year like 2021 but more team’s fighting for wins and consistently on the podium

[ruby cairn]

predictions

[ruby cairn]

.

[neat fern]

HUH

Ohhhh

[ruby cairn]

?

[neat fern]

Seems resonable

[ruby cairn]

yeah i predicted some reserve days

[neat fern]

Whos 22nd?

[ruby cairn]

arvid lindblad

rbr f2 driver next year

[wet sequoia]

I’m laughing at the fact not only did you put Hadjar so highly over Bortoleto but he would beat Tsunoda as well

[ruby cairn]

im predicting he comes in for 1 weekend

[ruby cairn]

its bc sauber is ass tho

[neat fern]

Hes swedish?

[ruby cairn]

and i do think he will beat tsunoda

[wet sequoia]

2025 is basically Audi in everything but name

[ruby cairn]

looks like british and swedish

[neat fern]

His name is def swedish

[ruby cairn]

yea

[ruby cairn]

its gonna take them more than a year to revive this dumpster fire

i believe in them for 26

[wet sequoia]

If you actually think Audi will go into 2026 with only 1 race for points

[ruby cairn]

i think they wont be so far off but the grid will be even tighter

allowing everyone to score a few points, sauber just the least

[wet sequoia]

It’s the last year of regulations

[ruby cairn]

yea

[wet sequoia]

And even then, Hadjar beating Tsunoda

Tsunoda may have the drivers mentality of a wet paper bag but he has the experience and Hadjar does not

[ruby cairn]

i just think he has a chance to be quick

its more fun if he wins bc then yuki will go somewhere else and leave that hellhole

and hadjar might get a rbr seat if lawson underperforms

i care more about the mid-to-upper portion of the grid anyway

the back is tough to predict

and kinda random

[austere ice]

only thing you can predict is sauber in last

[ruby cairn]

exactly

[neat fern]

I just think the rb is too hard to drive

[ruby cairn]

maybe

[neat fern]

It has a very sharp front end

Which max likes

[ruby cairn]

does the vcarb have those

or just rbr

[neat fern]

I meant rbr

[ruby cairn]

oh

[neat fern]

Only rbr i think

[ruby cairn]

i was talking abt hadjar

for vcarb

[neat fern]

Oh, i was talking about lawson in rb

[ruby cairn]

yeah idk how he will do

i just put him down a few spots below max

[neat fern]

I mean every second driver to max hasnt succeded

[ruby cairn]

since i think he will be fairly competent but not win

[neat fern]

So i think its the car tbh

Albon said it himself

[ruby cairn]

yeah once max leaves are they just gonna be shit

prolly

[wet sequoia]

It always get tuned to the #1 driver and Max drives his own way

[neat fern]

They should be able to do different cars? For diff drivng styles?

[wet sequoia]

Money

You don’t have the money anyway to develop 2 different cars

[ruby cairn]

is ford rbpt going to be good at all for 26

[neat fern]

Ig but no one likes it apart from max and its a max team ik

[ruby cairn]

im not terribly confident in them

[raven wagon]

I mean Redbull did all they could to help Checo

[wet sequoia]

Then either deal with it or leave

[neat fern]

Not talking about checo

[royal scarab]

Checo has been saying the car is fucked 😭

[neat fern]

More like lawson or any other second driver in that care

[royal scarab]

No one listened

[neat fern]

CAR

[neat fern]

I JUST HEARD TOTO

[ruby cairn]

atp anyone would be better

[raven wagon]

I know but the fact that Redbull tried all they could to help him improve, even giving him a new chassis

[neat fern]

Yh but if we look at all their second drivers no one has succeded

[raven wagon]

Suceeded in terms of winning wdcs or

[ruby cairn]

checo has been the worst one

[neat fern]

Being good

[ruby cairn]

succeeded in terms of being a good #2

[neat fern]

Look at albon

For example

[raven wagon]

I wouldnt say Webber or Danny Ric were bad

[neat fern]

He did a interview

And said why

[ruby cairn]

webber??

[neat fern]

Ricc wasnt really a second driver tho

[ruby cairn]

danny ric is before these problems began

[raven wagon]

Is Kvyat considered a number 2?

[ruby cairn]

this #2 shit rly only started in 2019

[neat fern]

Yh

[ruby cairn]

when they brought the rookies

[raven wagon]

"Not bad for a number 2 driver" - Mark Webber

[neat fern]

Speaking during a High-Performance Podcast, Albon explained: “The first thing is a lot of people say that car is built around him, that he’s like the Michael Schumacher of Ferrari and he’s created this team around him. But truthfully, the car is what it is. Max is very quick. So what ends up happening is, he has quite a unique driving style and it’s not that easy to get along with.

“I would say my driving style is a bit more on the smooth side. But I like a car that has it good front end, so quite sharp, quite direct. Max does too. But his level of ‘sharp and direct’ is a whole different level. It’s eyewatering.

“To give people kind of a maybe an explanation of what that might feel like, if you play computer games at all, if you bump up the sensitivity completely to the max and you move that mouse, it’s just darting across the screen everywhere. That’s kind of how it feels, it became so sharp that it makes you a little bit tense.

“And every time the car becomes sharper and sharper, you start to become more tense. Every time you go into a corner, you don’t know how it’s going to react, you don’t have that pure confidence in the car. It just doesn’t work. It never works.”

Thats what albon said

[ruby cairn]

interesting

[neat fern]

And think lawson said the same during testning

[craggy widget]

ki ki ki ra ra sweat sweat

[ruby cairn]

yeah just makes rbr sounds cursed

hopefully lawson can handle it

[raven wagon]

I think its just the quality of the RBR juniors after Danny Ric left just havent been it

[ruby cairn]

well seems like they rate lindblad well so I wonder how he'll be in 26 or so

[coarse obsidian]

I would say the last RBR Junior with quality was Max. Soon after that Toro Rosso change their name and quality fell.

[drifting geyser]

Depends what you consider "quality"

Juniors like Tsunoda don't get much love, just because they're comparatively not on Max's level

[neat fern]

Tsunoda isnt their junior

[drifting geyser]

Uh, yes he is

[neat fern]

Bro it’s hondas

[lethal bramble]

Bernd Maylander going from the least employed to the most employed in the span of one year

[lucid gale]

bro redbull are racist confirmed

[neat fern]

Damn I found an experience where you could drive an Formel 1 - Mod WIlliams FW29
