[snow swan]

He has more points than ferrari currently.

[wet sequoia]

Red Bull made problem with Lawson, they were still doing aero testing in FP1

[lament furnace]

He carries the new rookie Alonso too /jk

[crisp acorn]

i know, i would say that in the next race he will have a better standing

[summer drift]

Stroll carrying Aston Martin so far is not something I thought we’d be saying

[opaque igloo]

what if put Perez back

[snow swan]

stroll on top fr

[crisp acorn]

😆

[snow swan]

stroll wdc title contention incoming

[lament furnace]

Hear me out, what if we put allRB 2nd driver in a race

[summer drift]

Make every race wet and it’s game on

[snow swan]

make it rain heavily like spa 2021, and he will win

[grand socket]

What if we put Bottas in a Mercedes car?

[snow swan]

https://media.tenor.com/HhwGrZgNLoEAAAAM/peetastrilogy.gif

[limber ember]

Ahhhh

[snow swan]

stroll when rain

[past moon]

Hellooo

[past moon]

Life is good again

[summer drift]

Let’s talk about Charles though cause nearly getting beat by Lewis was kinda embarrassing

[snow swan]

if stroll win wdc, the internet will be broken

[past moon]

if stroll won wdc ppl would think his dad paid for it

[snow swan]

https://media.tenor.com/mWe7xO_YTm4AAAAM/formula-1-drugovich.gif

[zinc saffron]

@south heron i think the delusion of lewis wdc 2025 died today.. no more delulu

[dusky root]

If only a formula 1 season lasted 24 races

[real gate]

İs Antonelli 4th or 5th?

[dusky root]

4th

[zinc saffron]

wdym the season aint over?

there's more?

[dusky root]

I wish

[snow swan]

Lewis is washed now realistically even if ferrari is a championship contender i don't think he would win the wdc.

[dusky root]

Would be amazing

[snow swan]

I feel like albon could get on to the podium (i'm being delulu) but its possible

[amber ruin]

i hope so

[snow swan]

he breaking williams podium drought would be nice

[past moon]

It was so sweet that issack got comforted by lewis’ dad

[snow swan]

remember williams last podium was 2021 in belgium

well kinda

[summer drift]

Lewis wasn’t great this race but strategy was the main problem

[snow swan]

2017 in baku with stroll

was their last proper race podium

[neat fern]

Remember this its his first race and it was a wet race while he’s trying to learn the car

[summer drift]

Exactly

And he nearly beat Charles so could’ve been a lot worse

[crisp acorn]

yeah

[dusky root]

I'm not sure about nearly beating charles

[crisp acorn]

so i dont get people crying that ferrari is cooked

[snow swan]

oscar will go on a villian arc I'm gonna assume

[crisp acorn]

it was just the first race

c'mon

[tired kernel]

Unpopular opinion watchings races back isn't worth it

[dusky root]

Cause the season ends after the first race

[crisp acorn]

😹

[dusky root]

Shit, it ended after the first quali session

[crisp acorn]

thats a good one

[summer drift]

This one was only good for the last 20 laps so not this one

[fleet vapor]

how do you feel

[neat fern]

Ferrari fans must have the worst patience already after the first race 💀

[tired kernel]

Like I open my phone i see who won the race 50 clips on tt insta and everything also the race was 4 am for me

[remote knoll]

Nah

[tired kernel]

Ferrari memes gonna be great this year

[crisp acorn]

yeah

[snow swan]

LETS GO LANDO

[remote knoll]

"this one was good for about half the race"

[tired kernel]

I already see the memes Lewis Hamilton still trying for his 8 title at Ferrari

[crisp acorn]

the season just started so I highly believe that Ferrari will be in the higher positions soon

[remote knoll]

Race was good

[snow swan]

fellow brit

[lament furnace]

This is gonna be our year ™️

[summer drift]

Eh 20/57 is a third mate

[remote knoll]

Best Australian GP in years

[summer drift]

And even then it was safety cars in between

[remote knoll]

all the laps we lost from sc

[fleet vapor]

so much happened i’m crying

[tired kernel]

No wait 5am my English is not good enough to be a British i will **** my self you guys funked up with brexit

[lament furnace]

Petition to make it rain every race for extra drama

[remote knoll]

we had more than 20 good laps

[snow swan]

😭

[muted quest]

Melbourne weather at its absolute finest

[summer drift]

Still basically nothing happened till alonsos crash

[cursive delta]

ITS FRIDAY THENNN

[lament furnace]

Im glad Australia GP is not in sydney. Today sydney is 38 C lol

[tired kernel]

Sorry

[dusty pelican]

I haven't watched thr race yet. Did it rain?

[lament furnace]

Yes

[muted quest]

Should be moved to the Gold Coast. Would be the greatest race of all time

[remote knoll]

No there was a tornado

[summer drift]

Did it rain is an understatement

[remote knoll]

and melbourne track is gone forever

[dense parrot]

All that chaos and Haas are still right at the back 🥲

[summer drift]

Actually not according to Ferrari it didn’t cause they left their cars out on drys in a monsoon 😂

[lament furnace]

Hey at least Bearman finish the race

[dusky root]

It didn't really rain heavy

[dense parrot]

I supported Bottas all last year I can't do this again 🙏

[prime spade]

Apparently this is NOT our year anymore 😭

[dense parrot]

If you gonna stay out like that at least commit to it what was that

[lament furnace]

This is gonna be our year ™️

[dense parrot]

Could've worked out well if they stayed on track

[blazing fiber]

kimi back to p4

oh my god.

[prime spade]

Yes he's my pookie

[blazing fiber]

p4 in first f1 race is crazy

[cyan zodiac]

damn apparently this one was a banger

[narrow garnet]

There was a little bit of a lull between the rain ending for the first time and one of the safety cars, can't remember if it was the 2nd or 3rd, but other than that it was chaotic most of the way through

[snow swan]

Yeah

[lament furnace]

Poor oscar

[half cipher]

Pastri really blew it this race

[lament furnace]

Tbh i feel bad for tsunoda most

[narrow garnet]

I personally don't think that was all on him, the weather played a role in it too, just have to look at Lando doing the same thing, but man that post race interview, he was distraught with himself

[lament furnace]

He have had such a great week

[analog verge]

Going to be interesting watching the papayas this year. In dry conditions, I think Oscar would have taken P1.

[snow swan]

All williams fan

I’ve made a Williams forum

[serene apex]

That McLaren is looking ferocious though. Oscar will rack up some more wins this year

[snow swan]

Let’s talk about Williams there

[stiff plaza]

Watched the highlights, feels like it was GP's fault that max lost the first place honestly.

They kept him out in the rain with hards.

Ferrari things.

[half cipher]

Idk why they think Lawson should be in a Red Bull

[golden wagon]

h

[half cipher]

Dude is a mid field driver

[grim kernel]

I don't think GP decides strategy does he

[half cipher]

At best

[analog verge]

GP was arguing to get max on fresh inters when his fell off, wasn't he?

[stiff plaza]

You misspelled "bottom"

[amber ruin]

[snow swan]

Let’s talk about Williams there

[amber ruin]

wheres it

[snow swan]

In forums

[stiff plaza]

Sarah or whoever but he's still a part of the strategy team though.

[snow swan]

https://discord.com/channels/142082511902605313/1350791813530783798

For all Williams fan

[stiff plaza]

He lost so much time in the rain.

[stiff plaza]

They would've won easily if they boxed when Norris did.

Eh whatever, Sprint in china?

[grim kernel]

Whatever it was it sucked ass

Could be worse

Could be ferrari

[stiff plaza]

We saw what Ferrari did.

Lewis realized how it feels to drive in hards in the rain.

Must be nice.

[proud scaffold]

i couldn't watch the race how was Lawson

is he as good as Perez

[compact fog]

What a start from ferrari

[snow swan]

Still our year

It’s been 1 race

[grim kernel]

Almost

[bright trout]

Lap 45 is the scariest horror movie I’ve ever seen

[stiff plaza]

He's old now, let him stay out.

He's no alonso.

[fresh grail]

You could say Jack was 'Doohan' is competitors a favor by giving a position

(I'm sorry)

[grim kernel]

I couldn't even comprehend because it's like the circuit erupted in hell all at once

[compact fog]

I hope so

[snow swan]

Mods can you pin this

For the Williams fans

[snow swan]

You’re not funny

[fresh grail]

I said sorry

[bright trout]

The rain came back I guess

[fresh grail]

[grim kernel]

I was expecting things to go wrong considering they were all on slicks for class 2-3 rain but not THAT wrong

[old gull]

this is all apart of the ferrari plan

[snow swan]

Mid day for Ferrari therefore mid race

[bright trout]

I’m happy about Albon but that’s where my happiness ends

Oh and George

[blazing fiber]

everything is under our control, charles will be wdc

[snow swan]

Indeed

[crisp acorn]

what do you mean?

[remote knoll]

nothing

[proud scaffold]

it is criminal to watch Sainz drive that Williams

[remote knoll]

why did u respond so late

[snow swan]

the same car that Albon took to a P5 finish?

[snow swan]

Why

Higher than Ferrari

Antonelli P4 as a rookie is impressive

[snow swan]

True

[blazing fiber]

yess

[snow swan]

his first ever start too

He might break a record

Too bad he’s still losing to both Lewis and Charles in points when it’s all said and done

[snow swan]

Just like all 18 other drivers

[blazing fiber]

is it really a record

[snow swan]

The youngest to win

I said he might

[blazing fiber]

i think so

[snow swan]

Assuming he wins a race this year

[simple drum]

Lando Norris will be wrld Champion this year trust me

[blazing fiber]

grand prix winner in debut season will be insane

[patent temple]

Hello

[lament furnace]

Oh no, Charles depressed face is back in the interview

😭

[blazing fiber]

[lament furnace]

Oh no the depression took Lewis in the interview as well

😭

[blazing fiber]

welcome to ferrari lewis...

they literally said 'hold the K1' to a 7 time world champion

[analog verge]

I really hope it goes better for Lewis than it did for Sebastian

[brave ridge]

Sad for Oscar but still 2 points. Lando at the top of the title for the first time, and also the first time Max hasn't led since May 2022 🔥

[lament furnace]

When Sainz DNF i was like: u can take Sainz out of Ferrari but u can’t take Ferrari out of Sainz

[blazing fiber]

loll samee

[brisk spire]

williams could defo get a podium this season

[lament furnace]

But jeez, they give Oscar and Lando each a rocketship w wheels

[blazing fiber]

lando handled very wellll

[sage raft]

fair play to mclaren, i still hope they won’t dominate like this the whole year, in the dry they’re flying

[blazing fiber]

im just sad for osc

[lament furnace]

That 0.4 s in last lap between max and lando tho. My first time watching race and I’m already need an oxygen mask

[brisk spire]

both McLarens got super unlucky with that rain

[analog verge]

Would love to see it.

[brave ridge]

I think we're gonna see some midfield success this season

[blazing fiber]

I definitely had a heart attack in the last laps

[brisk spire]

lando was just lucky that the line he was able to take allowed him to rejoin the track

[lament furnace]

The revenge arc 2025

Sainz podium vs Ferrari

Tsunoda in p5 or above

Lesgoooo

[brisk spire]

The gaps from quali suggest that this will be a very close season

[brave ridge]

Kimi getting knocked out in Q1 like 0.6 off P1 was insane

[blazing fiber]

yep..

[lament furnace]

It was a fiesta and i love it lol

[analog verge]

If there were 5 more laps, Max would have probably taken p1. He was coming for Lando at the end.

[brave ridge]

Also with 5 more laps, Kimi might have got a podium 🔥

[lament furnace]

I feel worried for Max ngl. The car difference is kinda huge

[blazing fiber]

reallyyy what a season start

[brisk spire]

doohan could of just sealed his f1 career though

[brave ridge]

A little bit to close but definitely not insurmountable

[lost sphinx]

russia 2021 worse

[brisk spire]

alpine are looking for any excuse tp fuckhim off

[analog verge]

At this point, I think Max could get a Haas on a podium. He's so clinical with his driving.

[lament furnace]

Alr thinking of swap pinto in i heard

[brisk spire]

Isn’t doohan only contracted till saudi?

[brave ridge]

i thought haas were gonna be quite good into this season but damn they're really getting off on the wrong foot

[lament furnace]

I have no idea

[lament furnace]

Bearman cried after the 2nd day crash iirc

[brisk spire]

Honestly, even sauber could get a podium if things go right

[blazing fiber]

redbull hasn't got rain settings i guess, but he was really good

[analog verge]

Hulk could break his curse

[lament furnace]

At least Penelope don’t think she jinxed Max in Australia

[wicked vortex]

Does anyone know why did leclerc's car get flooded with water?

[blazing fiber]

lolll

[sage raft]

must be the water

[snow swan]

Poor bear man

[brave ridge]

must be the water

[analog verge]

Probably the water.

[brisk spire]

Drinks bottle i’s presume

[snow swan]

It was raining

[brisk spire]

But probably the water

[blazing fiber]

drink or rain

[wicked vortex]

... lmao
you guys are amazing ❤️

[astral dune]

Probably the water

[snow swan]

Yeah it’s the water

[lament furnace]

They say that’s Charles sweating profusely when he has PTSD abt a Ferrari strategy disasterclass

[blazing fiber]

*water sorry it must be the water

[wicked vortex]

I was genuinly asking but i got the best answer i wasnt looking for

[astral dune]

Makes you wonder the importance of Sainz in Ferrari lmao

[snow swan]

Mid race but it’s still our year (for real this time)

[lament furnace]

the main role is to be the pillar of mental support for Charles depression

[lyric marlin]

Ferrari throwing mud at its legacy once again today 👺

[astral dune]

Both Charles and Lewis are emotional type of people lol

[snow swan]

the fact Max almost won even though the Red Bull has clearly declined sharply

[wicked vortex]

I really hope so

[lyric marlin]

The leakage caused by water must be the WATER guys 🤓☝🏻

[snow swan]

Max could somehow put the 2014 Caterham or a Haas on the podium

[astral dune]

Not that optimistic for China tbf

[snow swan]

Yeah

[lament furnace]

~~so you are saying Lewis will soon join Carlos and Charles in a circle to talk abt the trauma the Ferrari strategy give? 😭

[snow swan]

or a marussia or manor whatever the team is called

Sainz is a clutch driver

[snow swan]

Why would Lewis join us

[astral dune]

Wdym "will", he has

[open wasp]

Bro is on his redemption arc ngl

[sage raft]

k1 and strategy are haunting him already

[wicked vortex]

K1 hamilton K1

[faint escarp]

Dihydrogen Monoxide is slippery stuff, must have snuck into Leclerc's cockpit by some means.. Apologies for the inconvenience, we'll get back to in a few business days with an explanation.

[lyric marlin]

Use K1 button for practice

[lament furnace]

Lol. Btw Í this the worst of ferrari strategy yet?

[brisk spire]

i'm scared that he had the least chaotic race

[astral dune]

Oh you should see Monaco 2022

[snow swan]

When Mazepin, Sargeant, and Latifi exist, Stroll is NOT the worst f1 driver

[brisk spire]

it wasn't bad, it was just a gamble that went horribly

[lyric marlin]

Why did we stay out when everyone boxed again for inters 👺

[open wasp]

Can't say

They all seem to be worse

[wicked vortex]

He definitely isnt the worst, but hes there

[brisk spire]

if the fia called a red flag they'd of been cooking

[astral dune]

The perf wasn't there anyway and Ferrari simply gambled (without listening to both Shaarl and Loowees' suggestion)

[open wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/scuderia-ferrari-f1-scuderia-ferrari-strategy-gif-25967679

[astral dune]

All they had to do was to follow Max into the pits

[errant marlin]

Alonso el mejor piloto del mundo con diferencia

[faint escarp]

can't believe my future husband was about to win his home GP then got beached! so angry rn!

[astral dune]

And for the worst case scenario they could've done a split strategy

[errant marlin]

Alonso > hamilton

[astral dune]

Oscar has a gf lol you wanna be the 3rd wheel?

[wicked vortex]

Speaking of which, i saw max almost got pit manuvered by a sauber car
got me wondering if there was ever a time where someone did colide in the pits before (started watching late-2024)

[open wasp]

Always remember.....whenever you think it's the worst that can happen always keep in mind that ferrari is still out on the track

[lament furnace]

Well my first time watching F1 and I’m so ready to watch more Ferrari strategy lol

[faint escarp]

that's a lie

[open wasp]

They are strategical masterclass

GOD'S OF F**KING THINGS UP

[sage raft]

the rain awakens the ferrari master🅱️lan

[wicked vortex]

Ferrari already cooking in the first race of the year
forza ferrari!

[open wasp]

😂🔥🔥

[sage raft]

guaranteed top-tier strategy from the scuderia

[astral dune]

Oh no wonder, but welcome lol

I can guarantee you 2024 was an outlier in terms of strategy

[shy gust]

i didnt think my expectations for ferrari could get lower but im ok with it at this point

[lament furnace]

Outlier as in good or bad outlier btw

[open wasp]

I wonder what would enzo ferrari say if he was alive

[astral dune]

Good outlier, they had some legit good strat last year

but tbf my advice abt watching Ferrari is to have zero expectation

[sage raft]

i remember in canada and silverstone they made horrible gambles last year

[wicked vortex]

Cry

[snow swan]

“Still our year”

[wicked vortex]

thats it

[astral dune]

And treat them as a comedy group more than a racing team lmao

[bright trout]

Well I wasn’t a fan then and Oscar didn’t race then sooooo

[lament furnace]

Ahh i see. Cause i saw some sneak[eak and last year summary. Seems like Ferrari is pretty solid so i was wonder is this just simply Max and McLaren just better

[astral dune]

If rain, Ferrari shits bed

[lost sphinx]

same happened but instead of losing p2, they lost p1

[shy gust]

have faith in the upgrades (they arent coming)

[lament furnace]

Max is the best rain driver right?

[sage raft]

currently

[lament furnace]

I see

[sage raft]

yeah, he’s proven it

[wicked vortex]

A horse is supposed to stay in the scuderia during the rain.

[astral dune]

By a long mile

[open wasp]

Ferrari still gonna fck up even if they do

[odd flicker]

woke up this morning to see Lewis finished tenth

wtf??

[sage raft]

max finds grip where there’s none

[astral dune]

If you have zero expectations about Ferrari

[lament furnace]

Does it mean the gap might be bigger in dry race?

[snow swan]

Liam Lawson is not the problem, even prime Lewis would somehow not win a single race in the 2nd Red Bull seat

[wicked vortex]

I am sorry but it is what it is

[snow swan]

or maybe Red Bull was never the truly best team, Max is just that good

[glad shadow]

feel bad for piastri fr

[open wasp]

AND MERC ON 3RD AND 5TH
bro must be crying rn 😭

[brisk spire]

still disgraceful how they treat yuki

[astral dune]

not an easy answer there, Red Bull doesn't have the best car this season

[faint escarp]

same, i'm crying

[odd flicker]

Im really impressed with Antonelli so far

[shy gust]

it is weird how none of his teammates have been even close

[wicked vortex]

"hold position"
Should've said no lol

[open wasp]

But bronis proving his worth

[lament furnace]

I heard Newey RB19 was the best these last few years right

[open wasp]

Yeaa ikr he's been puttting up with the experienced drivers

[glad shadow]

he had the golden opportunity

[sage raft]

red bull don’t have an amazing car, but it’s built around max so that he can control it as much as he can and extract the most from it. anyone else struggles to adapt so it eventually becomes a one-man team.

[astral dune]

A mix of other teams shitting their beds and Max doing so good

[wicked vortex]

Nevermind, I just saw what happened to piastri.
dont mind me im gonna go cry in the corner

[glad shadow]

idk why bro pushed so hard on turn 13

[astral dune]

2023 traumatized me

[faint escarp]

Antonelli seems cool, he did so well today!

[shy gust]

i cant wait to see a proper quali between russell and antonelli

[odd flicker]

What happened

[brisk spire]

Rain

[lament furnace]

Man. P5 qualifier, almost p5 in race. I respect Tsunoda

[open wasp]

Ollie must be traumatic rn

[brisk spire]

Rain happend

[faint escarp]

George was so bloody good though..

[open wasp]

Us us

[odd flicker]

did he retire ?

[brisk spire]

No

[astral dune]

nearly

[snow swan]

Nobody wants Mercedes to be #1 again

[wicked vortex]

He pulled a "think differently"
(He drove into the grass by accident, and is out of the race now)

[astral dune]

P2, rain, beached, almost retired, but he got out

[lament furnace]

I see. Welp seems loke like i pick the right time to watch F1 then. It feels so competitive this year

[brisk spire]

He was 2nd, but got fucked over by rain

[open wasp]

Now I'm just questioning of moving to ferrari was a good choice for lewis

Ig not

[faint escarp]

yeah I was so excited to see how Ollie would do, will have to watch some vids on what happend..

[astral dune]

Actually would've been better to start at 2024 but the season only just started, so a lot of stuff can happen

[wicked vortex]

hes back in? (im watching as we speak)
phew
but race ruined..

[shy gust]

its going to be the end of his career imo

[brisk spire]

Both mclarens went off, I think max only stayed on because he saw both mclarens sliding

[sage raft]

as far as we know, vcarb might not even be too far from red bull rn, in quali yuki was close to max. he’ll perform better there rather than in the cursed 2nd red bull seat

[lament furnace]

Aww man. Welp better late than never

[astral dune]

He spent a long while backing his car out of the grass trap

[open wasp]

There is a high chance I mean he'll have to face the criticism

[odd flicker]

And as you keep watching you’ll probably notice you’re drawn to liking a certain team so 🤷‍♀️

[open wasp]

And self doubt

That naturally comes with it

[brisk spire]

The vcarb is pretty much just last years redbull tho isn’t it?

[fluid oracle]

His career was ending anyways, mercedes would have gotten him out
Good to see him in ferrari

[sage raft]

no idea, but it does take some parts of that car

[lament furnace]

So far I like Max. Well mainly bc of his wholesomeness w Penelope

[wicked vortex]

Best decision for his instagram, thats for sure

[open wasp]

I'd say the drivers are also doing exceptionally like just look at yuki

My man was flying

[open wasp]

Fr 😂

[lament furnace]

Liam main objective atm is survive 😭

[wicked vortex]

Great guy, off track of course

[open wasp]

Bro is gonna get sacked soon if he continues like this 😭

[faint escarp]

Max was a sea captain in his past life so he had an unfair advantage today. Come sail the seven seas with Capt. Verstappen!

[odd flicker]

And tsunoda is skipping in his boots seeing Lawson doing so bad

[open wasp]

But tbf I think tsunoda deserves that seat

[wicked vortex]

Yuki second seat PLEASE🙏

[odd flicker]

Me too

[open wasp]

He has put so much work in the team and the car

[shy gust]

have honda stopped supporting yuki?

[open wasp]

I HOPE SO

[wicked vortex]

PLEASE GIVE BRO SOME SUGAR

[lament furnace]

Yeh so I’m open to all possibilities and ship jumping atm. But for now I’m on board for Max hype train. Will see where will this lead me to haha

[wicked vortex]

I started f1 last year, saw brazil 2024
and boom
max fan

[snow swan]

I saw a dude say “Yuki has never gotten a podium because Japanese people can’t drive. That’s why Takuma Sato failed in F1”

[open wasp]

Did you start watching f1 like in 2023 or after that?

[open wasp]

Can't deny bro is Hella fast in rain

[odd flicker]

After that race nobody can say max verstappen is only good because of his car

[carmine narwhal]

Damn Oscar....😭

[chilly moat]

yo so uh what happened

[wicked vortex]

Uh... water damage

[open wasp]

BRO GOT NERFED HARD 😭

[astral dune]

Today is his/her first race

[open wasp]

Ohhh damn i see

[lament furnace]

Liam Lawson La La La La La La La Go checo go checo the greatest of all 😭. Jokes aside i do hope all the best for him next race. I can feel how -pressure got so many of them today

[snow swan]

Max would have overtaken Oscar anyway. He was charging at the end

[faint escarp]

doubt it

[wicked vortex]

Really? Welcome
enjoy your f1 journey

[lament furnace]

Nah… like 3 weeks ago haha

[carmine narwhal]

I'm speechless

[open wasp]

Frr all.the rookies are under immense pressure

[open wasp]

Got it

[open wasp]

[chilly moat]

wait how did 5 drivers dnf?

[open wasp]

Since when have y'all been watching f1?

[shy gust]

rookies and rain

[open wasp]

Rain

[astral dune]

Hadjar crashed in Formation Lap
DooDoo on Lap 1

[odd flicker]

Especially Kimi dude. I hope Mercedes is paying for a therapist for him cause the pressure for him especially is prolly crazy

[chilly moat]

ohhh yeah that makes sense

[astral dune]

Alonso Liam and B'oh DNFed

[shy gust]

i think kimi is fine because he's got the backing from toto

[snow swan]

DNF? It’s called retire. This isn’t nascar.

[sage raft]

Enjoy F1. 2024 was pretty competitive, 2025 could be a continuation of that, so plenty of action to watch! (unless mclaren dominate in the dry weather)

[shy gust]

doohan is fucked

[open wasp]

But ig he is doing well so far keeping up with the big guys

[odd flicker]

But the public

[wicked vortex]

Poor guy is filling the shoes for the 7 time word champion

[open wasp]

Let's see what happens in the remaining 23 races

[lament furnace]

I was writing my thesis, then youtube autoplay just play Dudududu Max Verstappen meme and…. I got curious. Then i watch Rick F1 addiction. And the siren call lure me here

[open wasp]

Ayooo let'ssss goo

[limpid perch]

YouTube knew what to do

[astral dune]

I don't even watch nascar lmao why so pedantic

[chilly moat]

What a way to get introduced
I just heard carlos singing and jumped in

smoooth operatorrrr

true, but at least he doesnt have to worry about his seat too much

[carmine narwhal]

After 2024 summer break

[neat fern]

He did an amazing drive tho

[odd flicker]

Exactly

[shy gust]

a lot of the other rookies are probably rightfully concerned about their seats

[open wasp]

I started watching f1 when one of my friends told me like dude there's this hamilton guy moving to merc and he's been so fire in mclaren

[lament furnace]

Btw the Australian channel interview with Carlos on practice day 2, after the interview and they roll to commercial, they just play that song lol

[lilac nova]

Understood.

[snow swan]

there is no guarantee that Doohan is losing his seat

[astral dune]

back in 2020 lol

[chilly moat]

nah but how tf was a williams in p4

[wicked vortex]

First race p5 is pretty solid
heading for title? I wouldn't put my money where my mouth is but I can see that happening

[open wasp]

THE MOST PAINFUL YEAR 😭

[shy gust]

theres definitely no guarantee he's keeping it either

[faint escarp]

i love this year so far!

[odd flicker]

yeah like I said, controversial . But hey sometimes it’s fun to theorize!!

[snow swan]

Doohan is better than Colapinto anyway

[faint escarp]

more chaos please!

[wicked vortex]

Carlos yelling into the radio
Albon is avenging carlos lol

[summer harbor]

Kimi is a 2026 wdc contender

[wicked vortex]

(joke)

[sage raft]

i remember watching some races when i was a kid in 2010, my dad got me into f1. 2010 is also why i became a red bull and ferrari fan (as well as liking vettel and alonso)

[lament furnace]

They said Carlos helped Albon in radio

A lot

So cute

[open wasp]

Ahhh i see that's pretty cool

I started watching in 2013

[snow swan]

kimi is gonna cruise to an easy ROTY win while like 1 other rookie scores points all season

[shy gust]

carlos defo made the right choice going to williams

[open wasp]

Andddd alonso, ham and Vettel I loved watching them fight on the track

[lament furnace]

Out of curiosity, how was his time in Ferrari ?

[open wasp]

Bro was cooking

[amber siren]

Las Vegas 2024 🥲

[open wasp]

Proved himself everytime

[astral dune]

Decent

[open wasp]

Then ferrari nerfed him with ham

Like they do

[shy gust]

he did really well especially when ferrari started making goofy decisions

[sage raft]

though in 2013 vettel was quite dominant, but yeah early 2010s were quite competitive in general

[shy gust]

the most intelligent driver on the grid imo

[astral dune]

He's the lead of Ferrari's strategy department

[open wasp]

Ikrrrr he kept up even after those masterclass strategies 😭

[snow swan]

ham? why not turkey?

[open wasp]

Agreed

[wicked vortex]

I was joking but that is a great move my williams

[snow swan]

Hulkenberg scoring points for Haas and Sauber the last 2 years is crazy

[shy gust]

i think the quote was that carlos was up on the pit wall and could tell nobody would be able to stay on track when the rain hit

[astral dune]

Carlos isn't the most talented driver out there, but he's insanely intelligent

[wicked vortex]

And.. smooth (i am stupid i know)

[snow swan]

We really let Carlos walk for a washed Lewis Hamilton….

[astral dune]

If you put Charles' driving talent with Carlos' intelligence into one single body, you'd have the ultimate F1 driver

[shy gust]

delusional hopium but maybe if hamilton retires soon carlos could go back to ferrari

they left on good terms

[marble pivot]

Js the 1st race

[wicked vortex]

I heard rumors they kept the door open for carlos just incase ham retires

[snow swan]

And he did nothing in that one race

[odd flicker]

Yikes I’m worried about his career right now 😬

[astral dune]

Again it's race one

alr judging

[marble pivot]

And leclerc too except for spinning

[wicked vortex]

I'll make my opinion abt that after a few more races

[snow swan]

nah Bearman is taking over after Lewis retires

[marble pivot]

U gotta blame the strategists

[royal needle]

Horrible day to be a rookie(unless you’re Italian)

[shy gust]

true

[marble pivot]

Yh same

[shy gust]

assuming he does well at haas

[wicked vortex]

Maybe he forgot to drink water and accidentally poured it into charles' seat

[snow swan]

“Doing well”
“Haas”

[marble pivot]

Lmfao must be water

[wicked vortex]

Next race will be ours

[astral dune]

At least Lewis can join Charles at his therapy session

[snow swan]

If they score 5 points as a team combined this year it’s a successful season

[shy gust]

hulkenberg tried last year

[snow swan]

yeah Hulk did well for Haas standards

[sage raft]

last year they were decent

but haas have a tendency of being a rollercoaster

[snow swan]

cuz they had good drivers

This year they have the most average bland driver ever and a rookie

[sage raft]

it’s not just the drivers

[snow swan]

True

[sage raft]

the car is worse relative to the rest of the grid

at least in australia

[snow swan]

It’s funny cuz Ocon somehow has a race win

Yet he’s just so… average overall

[raven wagon]

Ocon I would say is as good as K Mag and might be better

[sage raft]

better

good driver but horrible teammate in the past, hopefully he doesn’t do weird shit with ollie

[wicked vortex]

Stroll p6?? dang he decided to cook this race

[clear light]

Well we’ll see what the teams are like at china next week see what the order is or wait till at least Saudi Arabia

[raven wagon]

Alpine last year with Gasly and Ocon qualified P19 and 20 at Bahrain 2024

[snow swan]

I just watched the race it was so intence

[wicked vortex]

Probably gonna even it out with a dnf next race

Y'know.. just to even things out

[snow swan]

Alpine had a resurgence at the end of last year

When a lot of people had them as the worst team after Bahrain (overreacting after 1 race is wild)

[iron maple]

In Flavio we trust

[clear light]

We may get a 2021/2023 scenario where multiple teams get podiums/wins

[lavish ore]

bro said 2023

[snow swan]

didn’t that happen last year

Literally 8 different drivers won iirc LMAO

or 7

[astral dune]

7

[wicked vortex]

Not a big Lando fan but him immediately going to hug his family is kinda wholesome

[lavish ore]

2023, the season well known for having many different race winners

[odd flicker]

Haha that’s funny

[lament furnace]

From what i heard Lando had some PR hiccups right

[snow swan]

And Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes all produced at least 1 race winner last year. Crazy season. I’m expecting more of the same this year.
I hope 2026 isn’t just one team being untouchable all year tho

[wicked vortex]

Absolutely

[odd flicker]

I wonder how Cadillac is gonna perform

[lament furnace]

How bad was it

[odd flicker]

as soon as they’re part of the grid of course

[snow swan]

Depends on what drivers they get

[wicked vortex]

"Simply lovely huh?"
"Max getting P1 is pure luck"

[snow swan]

I will literally nut so hard if Vettel comes back

tmi I know but I’m a massive Vettel fan

[odd flicker]

I also just wonder how their car will perform in general

[lament furnace]

Oof, i thought they are good friends was it

[odd flicker]

idefk their budget

[snow swan]

And don’t even think about doing the unfunny meme

[wicked vortex]

Well its what happens when talented drivers clash

[summer harbor]

2022 when max started going viral

[snow swan]

you know what I’m referring to

[sage raft]

they are, but on track drivers can say things in the heat of the moment

[wicked vortex]

they are the best drivers in the world, of course they will develop some kind of ego, and when things get stressful, harsh words usually slips out

[lament furnace]

Ouch

[sage raft]

anyway they are over it

[wicked vortex]

seems like it
the post race interview doesnt seem to have any drama

[sage raft]

media (especially drive to survive) like to make drama out of nothing

[lament furnace]

Ngl, i do hope Max win in Shanghai so I can embrace the Dutch anthem meme for the first time

[snow swan]

Cadillac should be better than Sauber and Haas at least

[wicked vortex]

It'll come eventually

[wicked vortex]

Audi Cadillac 2026 lets gooo

[summer harbor]

real

[odd flicker]

i heard somewhere that Audi is buying sauber

[astral dune]

Cadillac will win a championship before Ferrari does

[snow swan]

I refuse to call them Audi

[odd flicker]

Is that wrong

[lament furnace]

Rumour has it Sergio is back in Cadillac lol

[snow swan]

I’m always calling them Sauber

[sage raft]

yes

[snow swan]

I don’t give a fuck

[sage raft]

sauber will turn into audi

and will bring their own engine

[snow swan]

First time having 11 teams since 2016

[wicked vortex]

Oh good grief

[snow swan]

Which is when Haas joined

[wicked vortex]

Hopefully its not 2024 perez

[sage raft]

and manor’s last year

[wicked vortex]

Because perez can actually cook

[snow swan]

That Manor was so bad even Max would struggle to even score points

[wicked vortex]

Did lando get pr trained after 2024?
he seems a bit more calm now

[lament furnace]

Perez was solid 2023 isnt it

[odd flicker]

Seems like it

[snow swan]

but still way off of Max

[wicked vortex]

from the highlight i saw, yeah

[sage raft]

only the first 4 races

[half cipher]

Hamilton wishing he never left

[snow swan]

Cadillac is gonna want an American driver. Wonder who it would be tho

[odd flicker]

the perez drop off needs to be studied

[snow swan]

idk if Herta wants to leave IndyCar

[wicked vortex]

Im also surprised max wasnt speaking more starcastically

[lament furnace]

Ooof. What does the ministry of defence perez meme mean

[astral dune]

First half yes, the other half disastrous

[sage raft]

in 2021 he helped max against lewis

he fought lewis a lot on track

[odd flicker]

I feel like he’s being too reserved to be snotty at the fia

[odd flicker]

Lewis fans start sobbing as soon as they hear 2021

[wicked vortex]

Perez pulled of amazing defence for max to win races
and also he's mexican
so mexican minister of defence

[sage raft]

checo fiercely defended his position from hamilton to help max, examples are turkey and abu dhabi 2021

[snow swan]

Max won 2021 fair and square

[odd flicker]

He did

[wicked vortex]

Do not mention that one place in the middle east

[snow swan]

That one place in the Middle East

Hehe

[wicked vortex]

Congrats, now theres a bombardment of 8's in your dms

[snow swan]

lol I don’t care, I’ll just ignore them

[wicked vortex]

8 times I lost because i hit the 8 ball into the pool table champion btw

[lament furnace]

Ahh hah i see. When is the last time RB 2nd driver did not get criticism

[wicked vortex]

danny maybe?

[sage raft]

2018 ricciardo i guess

[odd flicker]

Well Perez used to be great in the second seat

[sage raft]

though 2019 albon wasn’t bad, but he struggled in 2020 and got kicked out of the team

[odd flicker]

he was a good defender most of the time if I’m remembering correctly

[wicked vortex]

redbull is so quick to replace drivers fr

[lament furnace]

i have a question, is RB car specifically designed for Max or it's just Max is Max

[wicked vortex]

the second you have a bad season you're going to the shadow realms

[daring berry]

both

[astral dune]

Both

[lament furnace]

what makes RB car seems so hard for Liam?

[sage raft]

What i think is… red bull don’t have an amazing car, but it’s built around max so that he can control it as much as he can and extract the most from it. anyone else struggles to adapt so eventually RBR becomes a one-man team. and yeah, max is that good.

[odd flicker]

Liam is just not an excellent driver

[daring berry]

hyper sensitivity i think

[astral dune]

Max drives like you put your mouse sensitivity to 300

[lament furnace]

ahhh i see

[odd flicker]

Like even in a perfect car I think Liam wouldn’t excel 🤷‍♀️

[wicked vortex]

Well, he is the main driver so its probably designed with him in mind
but after brazil 2024 he proved that he is just goated

[daring berry]

Well we havent seen his full potential yet so dont be too certain 🤷‍♀️

[odd flicker]

I think it’s also that I’m bitter cause I really like yuki

[wicked vortex]

I'll give him a few more races for me to make my opinion

But i really wanted yuki to take that seat

[lament furnace]

now tht RB no longer sign w Honda, where will Yuki like go to in your opinion

[wicked vortex]

haas

william

[daring berry]

Wouldn't want Yuki in that seat either with how cursed it is, it would ruin his career I think

[wicked vortex]

cadillac

audi

[lament furnace]

iirc Sainz contract with William pretty allow him to jump to somewhere better if offer is up right>

[wicked vortex]

I am not sure about that so i cant say anything for sure
but he does not seem satisfied being there one bit

[daring berry]

It's a big jump from Ferrari to a mid field team

[lament furnace]

yeh he seems to like it there

it's just iirc i read on reddit, they said Sainz contract is with clause something

[raven wagon]

Well at least that team does not make shit strat calls

[daring berry]

Williams definitely have their moments of poor strat

[wicked vortex]

which is why we need him to win this season's title
he has to cook bro

[raven wagon]

Albon by himself outscored both Ferraris

[astral dune]

Sainz was the sole reason Ferrari made less shit calls

XD

[lament furnace]

iirc Sainz literally say no to many bad calls right?

[wicked vortex]

Maybe he'll drag prime williams out of the cave and finally earn that well deserved glory

[lament furnace]

one time he straight refuse the box call or something last year was it?

[odd flicker]

Especially because of how much more sponsors he’s brought in for them

If that makes sense

like he’s good for that team lmfao

[raven wagon]

Now lets hope the Williams car is not just some one track pony and perform like crap on other tracks

[lament furnace]

btw, how do you guys learn the"style of driving" from each driver? that's one thing my friend told me to pay attention to when i wathc motorsport but i cant wrap my head around that idea

[daring berry]

They've got Vowles TP as well who can act like 3 toddlers in a trench coat if something goes wrong

[wicked vortex]

"Carlos how do you feel winning your first championship?"
"I'm feeling like a smooth operatooor" Gets sued

[odd flicker]

I think I’ve learned driver styles naturally by just watching races

like

[lament furnace]

cut appendix and ensure the hair is well maintained for maximum aerodynamics 😂

[wicked vortex]

Yeah you'll slowly recognise how your favourite driver drives after a season or two

im still getting there

[lament furnace]

i try watching today race and the only thing came in my mind is : wow vroom vroom so fast

but i do see Max is quite pretty efficiently aggressive (?) am i wrong?

pls correct me

[odd flicker]

Of course

[wicked vortex]

Just enjoy what you're watching
Even if its just 2 hours of "damn that car is cool, oh dang this one's fast" It doesnt really matter
if you're enjoying it, its not a waste of time

[odd flicker]

Max verstappen is textbook aggressive driver

just a really really good one

he does it well

[daring berry]

Aggressive drivers make the sport better ngl

[odd flicker]

sooo much better

[wicked vortex]

It makes it way more entertaining

[lament furnace]

oooh how many "types" are there and what are some good examples for it?

[wicked vortex]

like WAY more

[odd flicker]

Lance stroll has his own driving style

I like to call it “ wall bound “

[lament furnace]

today the Wall God is satisfied with all sacrifice so Sir Lancelot gets P6 😂

[daring berry]

ok bro

[odd flicker]

I still like lance stroll though

Like p6 ?? Celebration

[wicked vortex]

Well theres the aggressive types (overtakes galore)
defensive types (overtakes blocking galore)
calculated & safe types (safe but competitive, only overtakes when nessesary/ clear opportunity opens up)
and a beyblade driving (spin out and kiss the wall in formation lap)

[daring berry]

like mazespin

[wicked vortex]

and probably some more but i am stupid

[sharp veldt]

so merc leads wcc

[odd flicker]

eeeyuck

[sharp veldt]

nvm tied

[wicked vortex]

the most recognisable ones are the beyblade ones
just see who loves walls the most

[lament furnace]

hmmm seems like examples in that order are

• Max
• Oscar
• Lewis /Charles ? idk tbh
• and Goatifi

right?

[wicked vortex]

yeah pretty much
you can replace oscar with perez and it works too

[lament furnace]

i see isee

[daring berry]

Charles isnt really a safe type imo

[wicked vortex]

some drivers can switch during races too
like going from safe to aggressive when your position's challanged

[dusky root]

Charles is a fairly safe driver, he rarely takes risks with overtakes

which implies he gets stuck behind a williams for a quarter of the gp

[wicked vortex]

yuki's fairly aggressive too right?

[dusky root]

yuki is extremely aggressive when defending

dont know about overtaking

[odd flicker]

with his mouth too

[wicked vortex]

Oh absolutely

[lament furnace]

oh man sounds like he fits Max lol

[dusky root]

oh yeah, they'd have a great time if the car is right

unfortunately he doesn't have max's insane raw pace

[wicked vortex]

Honestly if max and yuki spoke normally while the swear fine in effect, they probably have to work at your local subway to pay the bills

[upper osprey]

Guys I'm looking at the race replay I was at a party until 4 in the morning

[lament furnace]

or gas station

[wicked vortex]

damn

[dusky root]

max would be a great stand up comedian imo

[unborn hazel]

bro

[lost moat]

wait why was kimis penalty overturned

[lament furnace]

but srsly tho, after i watched and read what Jos did, I was baffled how toxic it was

[odd flicker]

you’re not alone

[wicked vortex]

+1

[upper osprey]

Formation lap lets see if stroll crashes

[lament furnace]

"My dad never told me i will be a champion, always say i will end up being a bus driver or truck driver"

like.... man....

[wicked vortex]

he just so happen to crave for fame so bad he's okay with neglecting his own child for it

[odd flicker]

and it worked out for him

[upper osprey]

My TV froze can someone tell me what happened on the formation lap?

[odd flicker]

uh

[lament furnace]

imagine an alternate universe where Max did not succeed. that would be ouch. but again, no point pondering about it

[odd flicker]

If I’m recalling correctly it was pretty uneventful

[dusky root]

Hadjar checked the wall's strength in T2

[wicked vortex]

in a way, yeah
but you cant expect to train a fish to fly in the sky
max had talent, jos just forced it out of him, in the worst way possible

[upper osprey]

WHAT

[lament furnace]

i feel bad for him. saw him cried

[wicked vortex]

so i like to think that max is goated because he's max

[dusky root]

dont worry tho

[odd flicker]

what

I didn’t know that

[dusky root]

the wall was pretty strong

[wicked vortex]

I hate typos 😭

[upper osprey]

He was going to have a good race bro what

[lament furnace]

ngl, Bortoleto did decent enough in my opinion

[dusky root]

he'll have plenty of time to show his worth

and to be fair, the rookie to wall hit ratio wasn't the greatest today

[lament furnace]

yeh i dont feel like i hate anyone at all atm. even Stroll, I see him had some honest fun with Alonso in practice

all I see is: man, imagine how stressful all of them are. esp media might use the 1st race to doompost everything

[wicked vortex]

i dont like stroll not because of him being a bad driver
i dont like him because he's insufferable to deal with sometimes

[lost moat]

yeah. all the rookies except maybe bearman and lawson who got a really bad weekend did fine. the rain kinda screwed them over

[wicked vortex]

maybe im the only one with this opinion

[upper osprey]

My TV unfroze

Lap 1 guys

[inland pagoda]

https://x.com/formula1god/status/1901258112041931205?s=46

[odd flicker]

I like stroll because I think it’s ironic that he acts like he’d rather die than be a driver sometimes

he is not a good driver

[upper osprey]

Jack too?!

[wicked vortex]

so true though
90% of the time he looks like he's racing because he has nothing to do

[polar star]

Yo Kimi got p4

[upper osprey]

WHAT

[dusky root]

basically, rookies doing good today is very relative

[wicked vortex]

like man im so bored in my 20 million mansion, might as well go vroom vroom

[dusky root]

4/6 hit a wall

[polar star]

Ye his position got revised

[lost moat]

alex robbed 😔

[odd flicker]

wait

[upper osprey]

What...

[glossy merlin]

albon in a WILLIAMS

[lament furnace]

yeh i heard about it. saw his attitude in many review videos too.

but then watch an interview like 2 days before where he just have some honest silly fun with Alonso. and I was thinking " hmm maybe he is not that bad" Will see tho haha

[lost moat]

dude he just started watching brooooo yall spoiling it for him

[dusky root]

Antonelli cooked, Bearman was genuinely too slow

[wicked vortex]

hopefully he stays that way

[upper osprey]

CARLOS NOOOO

[dusky root]

yeaaah fair enough

[lost moat]

i would stay out of this chat for nowp

[polar star]

Oopsie just wanted to tell yall

[lament furnace]

at least Bearman finish the objective: Survive 😭

[upper osprey]

Sorry.

[dusky root]

which, to be fair, good enough

[lost moat]

all good i just dont want us to spoil the race for you. you defintiely will enjoy it

[crystal mountain]

Who’s gonna replace Lawson?

[odd flicker]

Wow

[dusky root]

Nobody

[upper osprey]

That was nice. I think I'll enjoy it.

[polar star]

Yuki

[lament furnace]

the Australian GP curse. whoever won last Australian GP will DNF next year

Imagine Lando continue the new tradition 💀

[lost moat]

i dont think they will. the car is only suited for max. redbull realized they gotta lock in

[crystal mountain]

I hope they don’t do an Albon

[buoyant mesa]

so

[lament furnace]

what is it? Mid season drop?

[buoyant mesa]

sir Lancelot came P6

[sage raft]

yea

[wicked vortex]

who-

[buoyant mesa]

Lance Stroll

[lament furnace]

ouchh

[lost moat]

lmao imagine they just swapping out drivers midseason for loke the the next 2 years

[sage raft]

in 2019 red bull swapped gasly with albon

mid season

[lament furnace]

Sir Lancelot of House Strollevich

[wicked vortex]

oh-

[lament furnace]

but like who else they gonna swap in if they do it anw

[wicked vortex]

yeah im surprised

[odd flicker]

I mean

It’s up to them

[lost moat]

goatifi 🐐

hoping they can get another assist for max in abu dhabi

[dusky root]

If they actually do end up doing it, the only real option is Tsunoda

which automatically implies they won't do it

[lost moat]

exactly

[pallid solar]

I recorded the race bc it was at midnight for me

2024 Brazilian GP flashbacks

[lament furnace]

yeh cause that means it's a swap to someone in Racing bull?

[sage raft]

they don’t want yuki sooo

[lost moat]

tsunoda is like a last resort option

[dusky root]

You put lawson in the vcarb and tsunoda in the red bull

[lost moat]

oh its even better

actually idk they are around the same

[pallid solar]

Will I end up killing myself by the end or not?

[lament furnace]

is that even possible ? Wait who is the reserved driver for Red bull atm?

[sage raft]

even if there was a swap, red bull would probably put hadjar instead of yuki

[sage raft]

yuki

[lost moat]

as long as you dont have a fantasy team then you should be fine

i did……

[dusky root]

It 100% is, all vcarb drivers are red bull contracted drivers. They can swap em around as they wish

[sage raft]

but rb hinted so much at not wanting him tbf

[pallid solar]

Oh good luck to you man

[lament furnace]

ahhh hahh i see

and with Honda no longer sign with RB, that will be even less likely eh

[dusky root]

yeah

[sage raft]

either they’ll treat him like gasly from 2019-2022 and keep yuki as a benchmark, or they’ll get rid of him soon

red bull are pushing to let 17 y/o lindblad in f1

[daring berry]

yeah

[wicked vortex]

redbull sugar free no calories 💔

[lament furnace]

If Liam doesnt perform, I heard that will be a huge blow to his F1 career right?

[sage raft]

kinda

[lament furnace]

as in they dont see you as newbie, they see you as 2nd RB driver.

[sage raft]

he definitely didn’t show any promise in australia

then he’s got already plenty of haters but whatever

[wicked vortex]

pretty much

[dusky root]

The RB 2nd seat is known to leave huge marks in careers

it's just how it is

[lost moat]

honestly i think yuki would do better in the vcarb than the redbull

[sage raft]

the 2nd rb seat hurt checo. it hurt albon but he came back and this year he can show what he’s really worth.

[lament furnace]

if only vcarb strategy did not do a whoopsie

he was so close

😭

[sage raft]

gasly came back immediately with a podium in brazil 2019 and then a win in monza 2020, he’s rated highly regardless of his short rb stint

[lost moat]

dude fr. but that helped get alex p5

so we take those

[lament furnace]

i just feel Yuki tried so hard this week.

[obsidian steppe]

[lament furnace]

from practice to qualifying and even 3/4 of the race

[sage raft]

he has to

[lost moat]

its funny how redbull having 2 teams with an advantage yet they are struggling the most and in the biggest crisis

[sage raft]

Yuki should be having talks with other teams by now

[lost moat]

amr is really the only option but durgo and lance are in the way

[lament furnace]

i do hope he gets a nice seat in upper midfield at least. i feel drawn to his determination

[sage raft]

drugo won’t get the seat

[wicked vortex]

truly a shame he didnt end up higher

[lost moat]

why what happened

[sage raft]

nothing, i just don’t see him getting a seat in aston

he’s been reserve for a while now

same for vandoorne

[lost moat]

oh thats true. newey better step in to get lance out. im not hating on lance, but there are so many better drivers/potential talents waiting

[lament furnace]

indeed indeed. hope for a better result in Shanghai. kinda a shame TV only show part of each driver during the race so i dont get to see all

[lament furnace]

give Alonso the rocketship so he can get WDC again

[lost moat]

oh wait shanghai is r2?

[lament furnace]

yepp

[lost moat]

whens bahrain

[sage raft]

yea

bahrain is r4

[lost moat]

wait i need to look at the schedule what

[sage raft]

april 13

[lament furnace]

oh boi japan r3

i heard japan track is awesome

[sage raft]

suzuka is historic

[lost moat]

oh its basically the same schedule as last year just a few switched around

[lament furnace]

btw did you guy subscribe to watch F 1?

[sage raft]

since 2023 he’s stepped up and has become a good driver, i hope the best for him but idk where he could go except aston and cadillac

[lament furnace]

i get to watch australian F1 for free with local channel, but im not sure if they will do free broadcast in other race hmm

[lost moat]

the one thing that i dont like about suzuka is tha jules bianchi passed on my birthday. i wasnt watching f1 back then but like knowing he did because of the suzuka crash makes me sad

[lament furnace]

I would be surprised if Lance step down ngl

[maiden grotto]

Who got a penalty???

Albon?

[lost moat]

kimi but it got overturned

so kimi git 5 sec during race putting him p5 but then after the race the penalty was taken back

so p4 kimi p5 alex

alex robbed

jk amazing drive by kimi

[sage raft]

it’s more like Lawrence Stroll has to stop gifting lance the seat

[lost moat]

p16 to p4 on debut race is craxy

[sage raft]

which will be very hard

[lament furnace]

yep, cause if Lance wanna take a break then Lawrence might just pull the plug of support eh

[lost moat]

lawrence brought newey so it could be hinting him wanting a frontrunner team. he might let lance go he already got his 9 years

[sage raft]

hopefully

it’d be interesting to see stroll with a contract like any other driver, having to perform and fight for his seat. would he become more consistent then?

[lament furnace]

also I heard Jos hinted that if RB cant produce race winning car then Max will go elsewhere.

is that true

[sage raft]

apparently there was something similar in max’s contract

[brave tree]

He is most probably retiring in maximum 5 years so wouldnt be surprised

[sage raft]

which is why there was so much speculation over max leaving last year, as rb started to fall

[lament furnace]

wait, Max? retiring?

[dusky root]

people heard he's got a kid coming and have decided he has to retire

[sage raft]

max doesn’t intend to race for too long in f1

[lament furnace]

oh wow i did not know that

[cerulean onyx]

maybe since max has recently been seen testing aston martin cars and machinery (non f1)

[sage raft]

nah that was before he announced the kid

[brave tree]

He says he wont be here by 2030

He said that when he got asked about 2030 regulations

[dusky root]

yeah I know about that interview, but to be fair I highly doubt it

[dusky root]

that was for his other racing team and he was clear about it

he was running ferraris before if I'm not mistaken

[lament furnace]

tbh he accumulate enough fame and wealth for a good life alr i think

[sage raft]

seeing him in other categories would be interesting

[dusky root]

he does want to do endurance at some point

[pallid solar]

3 out in the first LAP

[sullen violet]

Just finished the race, i cant believe 6 cars out the whole race

[cerulean onyx]

most drivers in f1 arent there for the wealth

[dusky root]

so does charles, and that gives me quite the idea

[brave tree]

Not even a complete racing lap 💀

[cerulean onyx]

cant believe sauber got points

[sullen violet]

Fr

[odd flicker]

more than Ferrari

[cerulean onyx]

yeah

[odd flicker]

insane

[sage raft]

sauber is just built different

[sullen violet]

Ferrari messed their race up, both drivers

[cerulean onyx]

nico was on something

[sullen violet]

Ofc

[compact pike]

So mclaren is dominating now in every condition?

[cerulean onyx]

he had a bad position as well

[wicked vortex]

Next race will be ferrari's race

[dusky root]

Mclaren is currently in a league of their own

[odd flicker]

Pretty much

[sage raft]

Haas too

[dusky root]

Everyone else isn't too far off each other pace wise

[lament furnace]

hah. i was confused about that then i finally understand

I wish i dont have to worry about money 😭

[odd flicker]

Two great drivers and a rocket ship car

[brave tree]

Norris %100 deserved this win, he definitely got much much more experience and maturity

[compact pike]

Do u think Ferrari will comeback from this ?

[dusky root]

1s slower than the next best thing

[sullen violet]

Yeah

[dusky root]

either they chose not to develop this car or god knows

[odd flicker]

We’ve had one race

[cerulean onyx]

some come from billionaire and multi-millionare families

[astral karma]

nah, were already cooked

[sullen violet]

Us ferrari fans have been asking ourselves for the past 3 years

[brave tree]

3?…

[compact pike]

Mclaren made the best decision. With the pit. I still dont get it. Why other teams stayed out. Whole box was in heavy rain.

[real nova]

Bro, what happened to Haas rn? They were a solid team for midfield till last year....

[sullen violet]

Well more

[odd flicker]

way to be optimistic everyone 🎉

[compact pike]

Im crying still 2014

[sage raft]

Haasterplan, cooking till they burn 🔥

[wicked vortex]

they're dominating themselves

[dusky root]

I get being a ferrari fan is sponsored by delusion, but jesus

let's not shoot ourselves already

[compact pike]

Last ferrari champion Kimi

[real nova]

Lmao

[lament furnace]

yeh they are not lying when they say 20 rich people race around a circle for 90 mins 😭 /jk

[cerulean onyx]

yeah

[real nova]

Yeahhh... I felt so bad for Ocon and Ollie </3

[compact pike]

When ferrari say next year again?

[odd flicker]

guh…

[dusky root]

That's not what I said 👍

[wicked vortex]

this year our year

[compact pike]

Antonelli was the best rookie.

[brave tree]

Wait 5 races before deciding on rookies/ Hamilton ferrari move/ champion

[compact pike]

Also Bearman not crashed. But his car is terrible.

[real nova]

Charles does have potential to be a WDC, while Lewis might take some time to get used to the car first

And, if only Ferrari would stop screwing up their strategies for once

[daring berry]

he crashed in other sessions though

[dusky root]

The car isn't as off as we make it out to be

[compact pike]

But not in the race.

[dusky root]

give it a couple of races

and worry about strategy instead

[lament furnace]

2 days 2 crashes. poor dude

[real nova]

Really? Oh no... So both the car and the strategies suck now...?

[compact pike]

Hülkenberg from nowhere to 7th.

[dusky root]

if we dont figure out how to decide on a tire change asap we're fucked

[brave tree]

“Must be the eeee, water”

[sullen violet]

Lets add that to the words of wisdom

[lament furnace]

what is the most common whoopsie from Ferrari strategy? i heard it's boxxing time right?

[dusky root]

somebody pulled pace stats for today, we weren't too far off

[real nova]

My heart literally broke when he cried. I felt so horrible for him! 💔

[compact pike]

How they screwed up since Abu Dhabi. I dont get it.

[dusky root]

when I say that, don't include mclaren

[steep cedar]

h

[dusky root]

as we've seen today, pitting at the wrong time

[compact pike]

Ferrari must do something. Or ppl will be fired again.

[sage raft]

and he outscored ferrari

[lament furnace]

i have always had an impression Lewis is the chillest dude ever, and I can sense how intense he was today

[sullen violet]

Piastri’s comeback was awesome

[compact pike]

Im waiting for the italian news. They love blaming ferrari if no results

[lament furnace]

ouch

[real nova]

Oh, tbf, Ig it's better to wait for how the team will perform in the next races

[sage raft]

starting 10 places behind them

[sullen violet]

Your impression wasnt wrong

[dusky root]

I mean, they do deserve it today

a podium was very possible
