[zinc rock]

will be the ones to beat

[still sage]

ahahaha I see what you did there

[zinc rock]

newey’s known for having the most insane ideas and gains during reg change years

and alonso is still amazing

[tacit juniper]

forgot abt newey ngl

[zinc rock]

and i have hope stroll can finally unleash his potential

[zinc rock]

his issue is confidence

and he looked incredibly happy after the race

[tacit juniper]

i wanna see a stroll win ngl

[kind gate]

is there a leakage???

[zinc rock]

i’d trade my scholarship for a stroll win 😭

[tacit juniper]

a leakage of what?

[mighty cairn]

Crazy statement 😭

[tacit juniper]

how😭 itd be nice to see

[kind gate]

i sighed

[karmic mica]

As Leclerc's engineer said, probably from the water

[kind gate]

why does it say 1 in my name

huh

[mighty cairn]

If he wins then he stays in Aston Martin longer

[kind gate]

i have a seat full of water! like, FULL of water!

[tacit juniper]

mine would say 81 but it instead tells everyone im bisexual

[kind gate]

i didn’t click max i’m so confused

okay it’s back

[tacit juniper]

it must be the water

[zinc rock]

i don’t like having a number or team next to my name

[tacit juniper]

can i get the number AND the flag or do i have to pick

[zinc rock]

because it’d be aston and astons a green which doesnt show well on dark mode

[kind gate]

let’s add that to the words of wisdom

[zinc rock]

pride comes first on the role list before everything

[kind gate]

u have to pick i fear

[tacit juniper]

ferrari implosion over the radio this season and we are HERE for it

[kind gate]

lewis swearing on the radio was not on my bingo card

[lavish ore]

1 point penalty for inappropriate language

[mighty cairn]

Welcome to Ferrari 😂

[tacit juniper]

what ferrari does to a man

s🅱️inalla

[karmic mica]

Ferrari's decision making, and how it is perennially questionable, reminds me of certain NFL (American football) coaches, who just CANNOT manage basic clock management for their whole careers. Like someone said above, you'd think they could hire ex-drivers just to handle that stuff and tire strategy.

[broken dew]

must be the water

[tacit juniper]

didnt carlos help with alot of alex' strategy

[karmic mica]

he may have. They were talking about how he stayed for the rest of the race and assisted.

[tacit juniper]

thats what i heard too

[karmic mica]

which is funny...like it's normal for drivers to just fuck off lol

[tacit juniper]

mercedes v mclaren for the wcc??

[tacit juniper]

yeah

[karmic mica]

LOL Ferrari in 7th, 1 point behind Sauber for the WCC is just funny. I'd screenshot that if I hated Ferrari.

[neat latch]

Must be the the water

[karmic mica]

^ it's still funny lmao

[lapis crescent]

Anyone else trhing to watch the replay on espnews but it's play excel championships instead?...

[karmic mica]

haha spreadsheet jockeys

[neat latch]

My waist hurts

[karmic mica]

it's on ESPN+ if you have that. Cable listings are often wrong, or off schedule and it's frustrating as hell.

[long rain]

all rookie crushes BRUH

[tacit juniper]

kimi didnt crash

[neat latch]

He spun but he actually performed

[limpid perch]

Kimi world domination

[tacit juniper]

spin =/= crash

[neat latch]

And he was lapping faster than George btw

[waxen thunder]

Hadjar, Doohan, Lawson, Bortoleto, Alonso

Not Kimi & Bearman

[karmic mica]

MVP of the weekend: Anthony Hamilton. What a great move to go find Isack Hadjar and talk him up. King Sh*t

[long rain]

12 POSITION

KIMI ON FIRE

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-fire-on-fire-flames-burning-gif-17298230

[leaden cape]

Bro did NOT cook 😭

[waxen thunder]

He performed alright as a rookie, more bcz of taken advantage of safety car & DNF etc

But he didn't crash in the rain like his comrades

[karmic mica]

I loved how it looked like Max was drifting the car around every other corner. Massive respect to him for driving balls out chasing Lando, kicking the back end around constantly in doing so, and not going off (he did miss that one braking zone earlier that let Oscar pass him). He's got that reputation (in the wet) for a reason.

[neat fern]

Is anyone actually watching f1tv without international feed

[karmic mica]

But if Lando had that floor damage it makes sense it got that close

[neat latch]

Yeah he had damage

He got it when he went off with Oscar

[karmic mica]

I have "F1TV" included in my (gf's) Prime subscription. I wondered if it's the same as subscribing directly from F1. Currently airing is Senna winning the 1993(?) European Grand Prix.

[neat fern]

But do you watch with the f1 live feed or international

[karmic mica]

It's always shocking watching a modern race then an old one and seeing how much smaller the cars used to be. The driver always looks like they're sitting high up and the front half of the car looks tiny.

[karmic mica]

Oh IDK. Haven't tried to watch live on it. It just airs as like a "TV channel" on my Prime. there's no option to choose feed or anything that I've seen. That's why I've wondered if this is the same as what you have. It airs old races and programming, but I only started to watch it a lot this offseason, so not sure. Sorry, I'm no help.

[neat fern]

So not live races?

[karmic mica]

I wonder if they do. I also have my family's YouTubeTV cable login so I watched on there last night (I'm in California, so it aired at 9pm Pacific).

[neat fern]

And that’s live?

People use YouTube tv?

[karmic mica]

Yeah live. YouTubeTV is one of the most popular cable services in the US.

[still sage]

I use f1tv and love it

[kind gate]

in the netherlands it was ziggo but they stopped streaming f1

[neat fern]

Really? I tried YouTube tv once

[sharp veldt]

i do

it's pretty good for what you're paying for

[neat fern]

Thought the ones included with the isp was more popular

[karmic mica]

I wonder if what I have included in Prime is "F1TV Access" vs "F1TV Pro". Seems they're different tiers from what I just found searching. "Access" doesn't have live., but since it's embedded in Prime, I also don't have the option to click on certain things. I just get whatever they air.

[neat fern]

Yh

[sharp veldt]

i think it depends on where you live

[neat fern]

Me too but the f1 live feed feed isn’t that compared to international

[neat fern]

New York

[sharp veldt]

i think it's pretty popular there. it's also a personal preference issue

[neat fern]

I guess

[kind gate]

i just got f1tv for free with buying viaplay and i could watch live in the app

[karmic mica]

Yeah, but those got very expensive once your initial first two years of "bundle" pricing ends. So most people cut the cord, cancel the cable/phone portion and it's still slightly cheaper to pay for internet and then YTTV separately. Although YTTV has joined in and raised prices again recently. We'll see how much further they can go.

If all the services cracked down on password sharing, I'd be pirating my ass off. YTTV is shared with my fam, who are all on the east coast. As is ESPN+/Hulu/Disney. Prime is my gf's. I'd be able to afford one of those on my own. So the companies should realize that and I assume that's why they haven't all followed Netfix's lead in cracking down.

And frankly, living alone and JUST paying for internet (Spectrum) is a lot for what I use. $69.99 4 years ago when I first signed up. Now is $89/month.

[neat fern]

89?!!!!

What do you pay for

[waxen thunder]

89 per WHAT

[frozen seal]

kimi is 4th now

[karmic mica]

YEAH, RIGHT?! It's like the basic high speed internet plan. I have my own damn modem and router too, so I'm not paying to "rent" them either. $89/month. This country is a joke!

[neat fern]

I pay 50 for 10 gigabit 💀😭😭😭

[karmic mica]

Yes, I live in LA and everything is $$$, but it should be like $55 no more.

[karmic mica]

that is an ACCEPTABLE price!

You said NY? City or upstate?

[neat fern]

City

[still sage]

Im in NY also and works pretty well for me feed wise

[neat fern]

Wdym

[keen skiff]

didn't know alpine's new pilot shaved his head. didn't recognixe him

[waxen thunder]

both of em shaved their head

[still sage]

The live feed is fine

[keen skiff]

gasly too?

[waxen thunder]

yes

https://www.instagram.com/f1gossippofficial/p/DGGCyWTxweI/

[keen skiff]

lol

[karmic mica]

Some areas around me got Frontier Fiber within the last year, but of course my neighborhood hasn't yet. So, I don't have a reasonable alternative. Like I could pay $50-ish for T-mobile or Verizon's "5G" home wi-fi, but I don't know if I trust it. I don't know anyone who has used it.

[waxen thunder]

I feel like they are forced

[neat fern]

Meant the commentators the ones in the international is better from my opinion

[wind copper]

yup, hairline goat is back again.

[still sage]

whoops my bad I mis understoofd

[neat fern]

You could use it if you don’t play online games

[wind copper]

idk bout that i just watch f1 in the app. it is cheaper as long as i know

internet is just a necessary expense

[karmic mica]

Not surprising. Watching WEC is infinitely more satisfying to watch than IMSA. Their coverage from the UK is superior. IMSA and their coverage on NBC/Peacock is not good. They should watch WEC and take notes.

Who calls F1 on the "domestic" feed? ESPN just simulcasts SKY from UK

[neat fern]

Yh the international one is the sky commentators and are so much better

[karmic mica]

Who is on the other feed? Americans? Anyone I might have heard of?

Peacock IMSA has like mostly NASCAR guys.

[neat fern]

Still British I think Alex Jacques

And international crofty

[karmic mica]

ah.

[distant iron]

That was an intense race

[oblique elk]

calling a racing driver a pilot unironically 🥀

[distant iron]

Still better than calling them a racist

[oblique elk]

i mean yeah, bit of a null point though

[distant iron]

No it’s a meme

Racing Racism

[karmic mica]

Race-ist. Pian-ist. HMM

Piloteer

[buoyant path]

Wow

What a race

F1 be doing blood sacrifices

Most interesting qualifying and race possible to kick off the yea r

[distant iron]

Formula every1 fucking dies

[buoyant path]

Holy shit

Couldn't ask for a better opener

[distant iron]

Liam Lawson has to step up

If he keeps performing like this red bull is gonna kick him out

Which is unfair

[kind gate]

let’s hope they do

i personally don’t like liam

just an opinion tho

[oblique elk]

its been one race man

[rocky timber]

I'm rooting for Liam

Not paid driver

[ember rapids]

Bortoleto said he likes running in the rain, but he didn't do well.

[waxen thunder]

There was some issues withh is car apparently

[oblique elk]

he's never raced in f1 before either

probably not driven one much in the rain

[fast hawk]

It initially looked like his suspension snapped which caused the crash but it's not clear if it happened before or after the spin

[karmic mica]

SKY commentary had a funny quip about that when he spun saying something like "Mexico might be cheering that one..."

[stiff bough]

probably not wise of them to be playing into fans hate but what do I know

[fast hawk]

Just sky things™

[stiff bough]

yeah I don’t think I’ll be tuning into their commentary feed this year tbh, F1TV’s has been very far ahead in quality

the occasional banger one liner from crofty doesn’t make up for the mid experience everywhere else 🙏

[mossy monolith]

Alex Jacques >>>>>>>

F1 TV is miles ahead of Sky in just about every way

[karmic mica]

SKY was correct that when the race ended and top 3 were pulling into their winners spots they said "We haven't mentioned George Russell much today, but he managed to finish 3rd". I noticed it during the race they focused mostly on McLaren, Max, and Lewis. Not ideal coverage on that front.

[waxen thunder]

legit no one talked about him 😭

[wind copper]

he was nowhere to be seen

[karmic mica]

Oh, so they DID overturn the Antonelli penalty? He's back in 4th on video review. I saw someone say it here but didn't know it was officially overturned.

[neat latch]

Yeah he is

Btw amazing debut by him like

He's literally a kid

And bro drove like a legend today

[dusky root]

Not like he was doing anything worth of notice

[neat latch]

He basically was just racing alone for the whole race

Slower than the leaders but faster than the people behind him (except Kimi)

[cyan saffron]

Kimi being instantly on debut on pace or even faster than George is just insane.

Today he really showed he's indeed something special.

[errant shadow]

Wait I just found out

SAUBER GOT POINTS

[cyan saffron]

yes

Nico finished 7th.

[neat latch]

The hulkenberg special

[indigo charm]

Haas is what ppl expected sauber to be in Australia

[neat latch]

Out of nowhere scoring more points than what sauber scored last year, unexpected Because i was fully expecting sauber to make a sequel of the green tractor, turns out they made a pretty decent car

I'm so disappointed in haas like im trying to understand what went wrong over the winter

Like that car straight up has no pace

[indigo charm]

Horrendously bad

Sauber isnt very fast either.
We will know more in shanghai as today was weird

[neat latch]

True

[woeful ridge]

at first i was wondering if it was just because bearman didnt get much time to be on the track over the weekend but then ocon was falling behind too

[neat latch]

That car is SLOW like I'm so confused

[indigo charm]

Ocon struggled too the whole weekend

[neat latch]

They did so well last year like how could this happen?

[indigo charm]

Yes.
Hopefully they can figure things out my fantasy team is down bad

My fantasy 5 was hadjar sainz piastri ocon and bearman😭

[supple blade]

lando carried my fantasy

118 points

[indigo charm]

Piastri would have won if mclaren didnt fuk him up

[neat latch]

People who did double Lando are feasting right now

[supple blade]

i think im going to triple in china

cuz its a sprint

[indigo charm]

Was thinking the same.
No competition for mclaren in sprints unless they make a mistake

[neat latch]

Mistakes can be expected from Oscar, he's still a bit fresh

But it looks like lando fully prepared himself mentally for this season knowing full well that mclaren was going to be the team to beat this year

Still a long way to go though, anything can happen

[turbid vine]

I’m slightly annoyed that stroll did well and alonso didn’t, but tbf to stroll he is a good driver in the wet

[neat latch]

When he wants to ofc

[turbid vine]

Truuuueee

[neat latch]

Stroll's inconsistency is his biggest weakness, like he can be really good or decent in some races

But then most of the races he has no pace or crashes

[turbid vine]

Also his special awareness, or lack of

As pointed out by (in no particular order): Vettel, Gasly, Hamilton, Max, Leclerc, etc…

[neat latch]

I mean i hope this result can motivate him to do better and get more results like this but i doubt it, he has been in this sport for so long and his highlights already happened a long time ago

[turbid vine]

I mean, when he broke his wrist before Bahrain, he had an amazing race whilst in a lot of pain

[turbid vine]

Hasn’t he been on record saying he prefers tennis? Also, in interviews and just in general, he doesn’t seem to enjoy the sport at all, and he just seems so unenthusiastic about everything

[neat latch]

Like his radio after the race was emotional

But then his post race interview is... Inspirational as always...

[turbid vine]

Personally I don’t like his personality, and am in the mind that if he doesn’t have the passion for racing anymore, don’t race? Free up a space for another promising rookie that Fernando can mentor or another competent and competitive driver

You can see how back when the team was racing point, he had a passion. But since daddy stroll rebranded, that passion has seemed to disappear.

[zinc rock]

lance has passion

he just needs confidence

and he has confidence now that he just got p6 and shut up everyone hating on him

[neat latch]

Idk i feel like his dad forces him there

[turbid vine]

Same

[zinc rock]

no

blatantly untrue

[turbid vine]

If he can consistently perform over the next coming races, my opinion may differ slightly

[dusky root]

nobody hating on him stopped doing so by the way

one good performance doesn't erase a plethora of garbage ones, but good on him

[zinc rock]

true because people hate on him just because

[dusky root]

if that's how you want to put it, sure

[neat latch]

I'm not hating, I'm just saying how inconsistent he is sometimes, he can definitely peform in a good day like he did yesterday

[turbid vine]

Agreed, I’m happy he scored points, but that doesn’t remove his performances in the past

[sullen star]

because he cant look infront of him

[zinc rock]

stroll kept it on track

and alonso didnt

[neat latch]

But just because of that I'm not going to forget what he did in Brazil 2024

[dusky root]

flip it, one bad race doesn't erase a plethora of good ones

[zinc rock]

1/167.

[turbid vine]

Or I think china 2024, rear ending Danny ric

[zinc rock]

That’s how many times he’s crashed on the formation lap.

1/167.

0.005%

[dusky root]

he didn't even crash

he beached it all on his own

[neat latch]

I'm not talking about the crash

[dusky root]

which is a whole lot funnier

[zinc rock]

he did great in

brazil 2023

not 2024

[turbid vine]

I don’t mean to offend, but fans who act similar to you also don’t brighten my opinion on stroll, but that can be said for any driver

[turbid vine]

True

[zinc rock]

people forget that leclerc binned it on the formation lap in brazil in 2023

but because stroll did it in 2024 its way funnier and people can make fun of stroll more

[dusky root]

stroll didnt bin it

stroll parked it

[turbid vine]

That made me laugh out loud

When does newey start at AM? I know he has to miss some time because of the ‘gardening period’

[neat latch]

He started last week

[turbid vine]

Oh cool

[sullen star]

he's focusing on 26 anyway

[neat latch]

The wind tunnel was also turned on basically at the same time so all efforts going into 2026

[turbid vine]

Alonso third title when? I know im delusional but no more that the average Ferrari fan

[sullen star]

we might get a 33rd but a 3rd title is just delusion

[turbid vine]

I just want him to be a driver who gets a drivers championship in his rookie year

[sage raft]

hydraulics issue vs literally driving in the gravel

apples and oranges

[zinc rock]

aston had braking issues that week

[sage raft]

but why did he go in the gravel???

what was the point, especially with those conditions

[neat latch]

Brakes Don't make your car go to the gravel

[daring berry]

It is harder to brake when theyre wet

but him going into the gravel wasn't solely on the brakes 😔

[fossil bone]

sauber getting more points in one gp than all of last year 😱

[knotty nimbus]

2026

[clear light]

Wouldn’t they use the wind tunnel this year for upgrading the car just to see if it improves correlation?

[rapid horizon]

this will happen

just you wait

chinese gp domination nando p0 with dotd

and 42 fastest laps

[thorn abyss]

What’s the weather looking like for next week

[wicked vortex]

Doesnt seem like anytime soon 💔

[sage raft]

no rain but ofc it’s too early to say

[dark jacinth]

im guessing we arent doing the "rate the gp" this year?

[sage raft]

#rate-the-gp

your wish has been granted

[dark jacinth]

LETS GO!

[vernal holly]

What’s the chances that Max wins more than 10 races this year?

[glossy crown]

whats next

[glossy crown]

not too much but its max

he can do anything

looking at mclaren right now, not sure if he can get more than 10

[graceful orchid]

I still have him winning the championship
Red Bull would have to completely sabotage the car for Max to not be in contention

[vernal holly]

McLaren just have so much pace they might dominate

[astral dune]

Meanwhile Ferrari is on next year lmao

[real lava]

Idk if I have it in me to have it be a season to be dominated by a team again

[regal needle]

Happy Race Week Team! It's Time for Chinese Grand Prix

And it's also the First Sprint Weekend of the Season

[vernal pecan]

Sauber won

Idc

Sauber can literally retire from the entire season

And they would still be a success

I am so happy

[regal needle]

Nico in P7 delivered the Points for Sauber

[tender cypress]

Bruh if ferrari had followed the same strategy as Mercedes they would have been ahead of kimi antonelli

[regal needle]

They do have plan this Week to targeting Top 5

[iron anchor]

the fact bearman didn't crash shows how much potential he has

[astral dune]

I don't even think Ferrari has a fast enough car

to make it to Top 5

[regal needle]

We'll see

[snow swan]

There pace was atrocious

[snow swan]

its crazy how they went almost pointless last season and managed to score more points at the season opener this season.

[regal needle]

His Last Points with Sauber was back 2013 Singapore Grand Prix 12 Years ago

On his First Season that Time

So for this Second Season, He did bring Point during Season Opener

[lament furnace]

Bortoleto almost. Almost survive lol

[frozen seal]

tsunoda was 100% the most unlucky driver yesterday

[faint escarp]

Max vs. Lando was breathtaking!

[dense tinsel]

Yeah he’s very promising. Kimi first then I have Bortoleto

[empty urchin]

Sainz being the race engineer for Australian gp is hilarious

Like somehow Sainz managed to go from Gran turismo A spec to B spec

[regal needle]

I found the Australian Grand Prix very interesting with Last Year Race Winner gets retired:
2022: Charles Wins
2023: Charles DNF, Max Wins
2024: Max DNF, Carlos Wins
2025: Carlos DNF, Lando Wins

Probably Melbourne Curse

[wind bolt]

.

[limber meteor]

?

[loud cipher]

Australia is a cursed land.

It's literally dangerous animal HQ

[regal needle]

Just a Kangaroo out there

[daring berry]

which you rarely ever see mind you

[loud cipher]

I saw like 3 sydney funnelwebs when i went to Melbourne on vacation

They are scary.

Luckily they can't climb, but still will put you in a coffin in 15 minutes

[daring berry]

Don't have them where i'm based so pretty lucky 😭

[regal needle]

I can't use the Other Bot here. This Channel still lock the Media and GIF after our Grand Prix Chat

[loud cipher]

Also saw a inland taipan at the Adelaide zoo too

[narrow garnet]

are you sure it was a Sydney one? we don't have theirs here, we have our own species of Funnel Web in Victoria which isn't as dangerous as Sydney's

still enough to make you sick, but not potentially fatal if you get bitten

[arctic turret]

Early prediction for China GP?

Max might win again, McLaren will be interesting
Alonso will redeem
Williams won’t be competitive in this track

[fossil bone]

@digital plaza why does he have 0 points

[arctic turret]

This track is another track where Lawson not racing yet

[daring berry]

they all do

[narrow garnet]

again? Max didn't win yesterday

[waxen thunder]

Id say winner between McLaren n max, Williams would be around p8-p16 imo, wish they can get some points. Alonso perhaps

But cant be sure considering aston pretty much focusing on 2026 rn

[amber ruin]

i think all the bots are getting updated at some point this week

[snow swan]

@fossil bone

ONE OF THE WILLIAMS WOULD BE IN THE POINTS.

[waxen thunder]

I asked chat gpt for prediction

Chat gpt said sergio perez will be 7th

Followed up with SEBASTIAN VETTEL IN 8TH

IN AN ASTON

VALTTERI BOTTAS 9TH

[acoustic crown]

When you realise ChatGBT has been disconnected from the internet for a long time and the database for some sports isn't correct

However I'm sure people have manually fed it data

So maybe you didn't specify a year

I did, it still dogshit

Twitter users genuinely surprised when teams push the limits and innovate in a sport where you have to push the limits and innovate.

[sage raft]

x/twitter users’ opinions aren’t valid anyway

[pseudo quail]

Was interesting seeing Pierre wache claim that McLaren’s flexi wing wasn’t clearly in a grey area

[iron maple]

Will this channel change to Chinese-gp or will it be another channel?

[sage raft]

It will change name

[neat latch]

What do you mean?

[mortal prairie]

the FIA has been trying to slow the cars down since the 80s and every time some guy exploits a loophole that makes the cars ridiculously fast lol

[snow swan]

lol

Adrian newey

Greatest car maker of all time

His brilliance at Williams and red bull

[gloomy wharf]

The new cars are faster than the ones from the 90s. The FIA hasn’t succeeded.

[sand heath]

true

[mortal prairie]

"so you must do this thing to make it safer"
"right you didnt say anything about that so ill do that"

[static venture]

The race is on a saturday?

[sage raft]

Sunday at that hour

They messed up the day

Oh okay thank youu

whatever this article says from him or similar articles from that time. He didn’t exactly agree it was just innovation and should be left alone as clever engineering

[tawdry jetty]

Anyone knows where i can watch the race

Missed it cuz sleep

And shit runs at 5am my time

[pseudo quail]

Probably f1 tv as the legal way to watch it

Anything else can’t be discussed here if it’s not ‘legal’ or whatever

[raw plaza]

Well they will have to close it a bit more now let’s say this brings the McLaren a bit closer to Ferrari and merc and max then this might not be as ominous

well fia confirmed it

cant tell me this isnt reliab;e

btw can they just tweak it or replace the oarts a bit

[swift raft]

[neat latch]

What was ominous is that lando won with floor damage

[fickle furnace]

YEA I SAID THAT TOO

[remote knoll]

Lando not gonna do any fumbles in 2025 🔥

[raw plaza]

Well that happened in turn 6 at 2nd last lap so

If it dragged on maybe max would have passed

[remote knoll]

turn 6 needs to be renovated again

they tried to fix it instead they created a whole new problem

Well I guess they did fix the other issue

[raw plaza]

It was put to avoid track limits penalty

[neat latch]

Ferrari have the same wing so basically it just gets them a little bit closer to merc and max

[remote knoll]

Was it?

[raw plaza]

Yea I think so now they don’t have to coz the cars will lose lap time if they go over

[remote knoll]

They fixed turn 6 to avoid Russell incidents

[raw plaza]

They changed the wall on the right side

For Russel

[remote knoll]

the right?

[raw plaza]

I don’t think Ferrari gap is as big as McLaren but yeah whether or not this “mini drs” had any affect to the aero it might not be as effective now

I’m not saying it did without proof but if it did ..

[neat latch]

It's a different technique than what mclaren used last year so yeah

[raw plaza]

I just want a nice season what ppl expected last year

Would be boring if Norris / Oscar win every race

[remote knoll]

dont think they will

[neat latch]

As a mclaren fan i disagree, as an F1 fan i do though

I want my team to succeed but i don't want a 2023 repeat

[raw plaza]

Well putting 4 tenth’s on verstappen lap was so ominous 😭😭even rb19 didn’t have a quali gap like that

[remote knoll]

Yes it did

[neat latch]

Austria 2024

[remote knoll]

Rb19 had like a 7 tenth gap once

or 6 tenth

[raw plaza]

Well unlike 2023 I don’t think Norris will be able to win every race Oscar showed similar pace which is good shows he won’t dominate Oscar

[remote knoll]

4 tenths isn't even that bad

sure it's a lot of time

[raw plaza]

It’s a lot in f1

[remote knoll]

but the Rb19 was putting in more at some

[remote knoll]

.

[raw plaza]

and the tyre deg of McLaren is so good

😭

While other teams complain abt the tyres they’re seems to be coming alive

[remote knoll]

I'm even more interested to see a dry race now

I hope China isn't boring af

[lusty sandal]

This was always our strong point even with our first car in these regs (MCL36)

but then it turned out to be a tractor

and then we hired rob Marshall

[compact pike]

who will lose from this?

[sharp veldt]

me

[tacit mountain]

Aston Martin will somehow lose 4 tenths

[bitter meadow]

s

[lean prairie]

explain this to me in terms of a 10 year old /rookie

[zealous flume]

Hello

[compact pike]

but they will be forced to change or only barcelona?

[thin berry]

McLaren gonna have to change their cheaty wing

[compact pike]

wat about redbull?

[spare glacier]

ok but wtf was that truck doing on track

[thin berry]

I don’t think rb has a flexi wing

[neat latch]

I heard horner complain that they had wasted resources on one for this year lol

[clear obsidian]

f1 needs permanent stewards to make proper decisions

[thin berry]

Well that was stupid of them considering everyone was complaining about it last year 😭

[neat latch]

Is that your best impression of the average F1 Twitter user

[thin berry]

You forgot salty tifosa!

[spare glacier]

i mean that's race control's job, stewards decide like penalties and stuff

[neat latch]

True

[peak geode]

Lando the goat

[lean prairie]

ohh i see, i see

[wind marsh]

Lets go Lando

[spare glacier]

anyone else feel that the tv coverage in aus was kind of bad? the angles weren't great, the timing didn't update very often, plus the graphics got rid of 'yellow flag - sector 1' and now just say 'yellow flag'

[rare sand]

agree

[clever aspen]

It says "Yellow Flag - Track Hazard".. Where is it though?! I prefer the new radio popup but everything else, I'd say the old one

[spare glacier]

yh

the yellow flag was a bit slow to come up sometimes too

only other improvement was greying out dnfed cars a bit quicker, but that was premature when piastri went off

[spare glacier]

team radio audio was strangely low quality at the race, i dont think thats tv directions fault tho

[errant shadow]

Probably the FIA making it so anything "unclean" on the radio is less audible

[spare glacier]

Rlly weird moment here where Bortoleto's right rear pops off as he spins. It doesn't seem to be the cause of the spin though, super strange
9:12 has his onboard then a trackside view, which is clearer https://www.formula1.com/en/video/race-highlights-2025-australian-grand-prix.1826734888252804505

[cyan saffron]

Let Kimi cook!🔥

[dim hawk]

LETS ADD THAT TO THE WORDS OF WISDOM

[safe merlin]

His suspension failed I think

[hushed wadi]

another disappointment is the removal of the bit that tells you the current running session

the best and perhaps only improvement here is the long overdue (imo) addition of indicators for drivers that carry a penalty or are actively being investigated

[untold trout]

re-implementation

[hushed wadi]

so it was a thing

then they removed it

lmao

[untold trout]

the 2021 style ones

were better imo

there were a few issues with the 22-24 graphics but

if it isnt broken dont fix it f1 😭

[hushed wadi]

now that you mention it i think i vaguely remember the 2018 - 2021 graphics having the investigation indicator

but i'm sure the penalty indicator is new

[spare glacier]

exactly

[spare glacier]

yh just could look a bit nicer perhaps

[spare glacier]

exactly

[untold trout]

the ❗ is useful for people who just tuned in to watch

but if theyre doing that

[hushed wadi]

they could've added what kind of penalty (5s, 10s, stop/go) a driver carries but this is better than nothing

[untold trout]

why remove the 'Q1, Q2, Q3' as it served the same purpose

people tuning in would know what session it is

[junior granite]

idk penalty indicators aren't that important to me

a net benefit but a good commentating team should provide that information anyway

[hushed wadi]

i mean it being there saves you from having to wait for the commentator to say it

also it's not like you and i can't tell what session is running, once you follow a couple of weekends it becomes easy

but having the info at hand just makes the graphics serve better purpose at being informative

[junior granite]

I mean I suppose but the info that I actually want to know is what they're being investigated for because that determines the penalty

which is not provided by the graphics but instead by the commentators

again it's not a bad thing it's still a net positive change it's just not significant for ke

me

[hushed wadi]

you know what they say, little things and all that

[junior granite]

well a small benefit but overall the graphics package is worse to me

Imagine if we traveled back in time to 1975 and told Niki, Clay, and Enzo that a terrible team would eclipse them in a Grand Prix fifty years from then.

[haughty marten]

"It's a Ferrari!"

"It's a ----box!"

[civic sparrow]

Guys imagine senna and max on the same team

[neat latch]

No need to censor it

Mbs isn't around here

[oblique elk]

prost senna just with more crashes

[haughty marten]

Oh ok
I just wanted to see what the attitude towards swearing was in this server.

Some servers I know are kinda strict

[haughty marten]

Remember Hamilton vs. Rosberg?

Yeah

[haughty marten]

Ah finally something went right for Ferrari

[gleaming dagger]

24-0 qualifying record for Senna.

[gleaming dagger]

The pit stops have been right for quite a while, but lots of people sleep on them.

[haughty marten]

Ferrari has good pit stops

I've known that for a while

[lunar quartz]

comical

[candid lion]

Poor pit crew they did their best to change tires at the wrong time 😭😂

[neat latch]

Honestly you guys are nicer than the people on Twitter

Because i sometimes feel like I'm about to have an aneurysm when i argue on there

[candid lion]

Leclerc got the right information from his engineer

Hamilton got the wrong information from his engineer

How did both end up changing tyres in the same situation and ended p8 and p9 😂😂

[fiery bloom]

ferrari strategy ❌

Forced hate on lando means we are cooking. He will be crowned as the champion. 👍🏼

Guys first race weekend of the year how good will Ferrari be ☺️☺️☺️

It’s prophesied in the intro lol

[craggy marsh]

twitter and nice do not go together 😭

i swear every twitter account exists for the sole purpose of rage baiting normal people

[limpid aurora]

you guys think max can still pull a WDC?

[lament furnace]

Might need McLaren makes mistake i feel. Atm their car is unstoppable

[raven wagon]

For how ppl viewed the RB21 pre season, I would say they have overachieved tbf

[lament furnace]

Bahrain pre season was preety yikes for RB i heard

[sullen flax]

daily reminder max is him and Lando trash

[raven wagon]

I would say when Newey announced hes leaving Redbull, ppl thought they gonna drop off and the RB21 will be shit

[limpid aurora]

i feel aus gp is just a tip of the iceberg for mclaren car. it was wet so i think mclaren has more to offer on a dry track

[raven wagon]

However what we saw in Australia proved otherwise

[lament furnace]

Yeh also Max is Max

[zinc rock]

rb21 is in fact shit

[raven wagon]

Yeah he and the Mclarens pulled away from George and the rest during last weeks race

[zinc rock]

its just that the car is built for max

[limpid aurora]

the problem is that max is all alone unlike the two mclaren

[sullen flax]

that’s gonna be good for him

[lament furnace]

Max said on the interview : he is happy w getting 18 points instead of 0 given the state pre season

Which, is interesting

[sullen flax]

Piastri taking points from lando or leaving him p2 for max to overtake

[raven wagon]

So the car isnt shit then

If Max can get P2

[zinc rock]

shit for lawson

[raven wagon]

I doubt a team would build a car to be suited just for their star driver

[zinc rock]

red bull has been doing this since 2019

there is simply

no way

[raven wagon]

Ig the car characteristics are made to be as fast as possible and Max is the one able to adapt

[zinc rock]

gasly albon perez and now lawson

have been unable to perform

[limpid aurora]

i would agree. you can see that from his teammate. the rb21 is very aggressive on the turns. liam is just struggling with that

[raven wagon]

Checo performed in 2021, 2022 and the first 4 races of 2023

Its a simple case of skill issue

[zinc rock]

talk about “adapt” when lawson scored points in SINGAPORE in what his second race ever

[lament furnace]

Why do i feel yuki not in RB is a blessing in disguise for yuki lol

[zinc rock]

BECAUSE

THEY

CHANGED

THE

CAR

[raven wagon]

I can always bring up Albons interview

[sullen flax]

Change your fucking car

[raven wagon]

Lawson needs to step up, otherwise hes another Gasly 2019

[limpid aurora]

no you change your car coz checo was saying the car is fucked

[zinc rock]

?

Tsunoda will be Albon then

[raven wagon]

No Hadjar will be Albon, cause Kvyat didnt get the promotion depsite outperforming Albon

[zinc rock]

only reason tsunoda wont be promoted is because marko is racist

[raven wagon]

If Marko is racist, he would had let Yuki go a long time ago

[flint anvil]

I dont think Marko has a major influence on drivers anymore

[raven wagon]

Think Horner has the most

[flint anvil]

Guy just yaps too much

[limpid aurora]

christian horndog

[raven wagon]

Liam needs to get into SQ3 and Q3 minimum in China, otherwise hes one step out of the door

[lament furnace]

Christian is busy getting better whatsapp security 😂

[lament slate]

What Christian do?

[tepid coral]

Are we deaduzz??💔

[wet sequoia]

Marko in reality has zero power in the Red Bull F1 team, he’s an advisor who won’t shut up

He’s the director of the Red Bull driver academy but that’s as far as his actual power goes

"And doesn't that look Absolutely Epic that Ferrari" - David Crofty

Another Curse Commentary by Crofty by the way

[fringe fog]

Refernce to last year Austrailian gp

[fringe fog]

I'm never getting on prr seazon testing hype train again

[regal needle]

What?!?

[narrow garnet]

oh fuck off, Aus GP stop doing the access program and now they're restricting 2026 pre sale to AMEX card holders, which fucking no one even uses in Australia

[lament furnace]

hah, i thought it's about the car not performing well pre season

[lament furnace]

ahhh thanks thanks

[plain swallow]

NAH I WAS LITERALLY CRASHING OUT

[narrow garnet]

we got more info at the track than people watching at home

we never lost timings

[lament furnace]

im curious abt the ppl watching it at track

they only get to see a part of the track with not much commentary and else i assume

[narrow garnet]

depends, it's a lot better if you're in a place that has a big screen as you can follow along easier

you do get commentary around the track but it's pretty hard to hear at times, and if there's cars coming past, you're not gonna hear it unless you have some way of tuning into it and have headphones on/earbuds in

you'll get the best chance to hear audio if you're in the fan zones, but then you're also not seeing the cars come past

[lament furnace]

i see

[narrow garnet]

fan zones at Albert park all have big screens too

[lament furnace]

hah neat

with any food truck?

[narrow garnet]

yeah, they all have at least one bar and a couple food trucks, some have a lot

[lament furnace]

last time i was in Melbourne, in QV night market, they charge like 16 bucks or something for a cup of sangria, i suspect that might be more in Albert park eh lol

[narrow garnet]

it wasn't actually as expensive as I expected tbh, the prices stayed the same from last year

still expensive tho

[lament furnace]

hah interesting, what's the prime sponsor in Australia GP again

[narrow garnet]

Louis Vuitton the spirits were mostly LMVH brands, but Heinekin and Canadian Club were also there too, and this year the coffee changed from Lavazza to St. Ali

[lament furnace]

neat

welp now i gotta find the way to watch F1 a bit more consistenly

[lament furnace]

Channel 10 only do F1 Australian GP free right?

other than that do you pay for Kayo or Foxtel or something?

(also i am assuming you are in Australia, and if im wrong im so sorry)

[narrow garnet]

yeah, we have to use Foxtel or Kayo for all other races

[lament furnace]

ouch, lemme try to scramble my budget somewhere for it

hmmm i wonder if i can wtch it free somewhere

[narrow garnet]

Yeah, can't help with that one sorry

not allowed here

[lament furnace]

I understand that, thanks for your information

[wet sequoia]

Pubs

I only use Kayo for F1, if I could get premium F1 TV I would but Aussies getting shafted

I use the WEC stream for WEC, now that I’ve got it fixed with no delays or buffering

[crimson prism]

Noooooo

Well, We are 3 Days until the Practice Time in Shanghai

bro i live 20 minutes away from the shangai circuit 😭 couldnt get tickets in time

[daring berry]

it's the biggest annoyance that we can't 😭

[dire hollow]

Man I’m rethinking if its worth it just to pay Kayo for F1

Used to be WWE & Kayo so it was aight

But Netflix snatched WWE hope they snatch F1 too

[wet sequoia]

I used to share Kayo when you could stream 4 screens but now it’s only 2 screens

So I just use my own

[daring berry]

It's a pain when AFL and F1 are on at same time in the house 😭

[neat latch]

Nah, imo they just tried to make the fastest car possible without any concern of making it comfortable

Max

Is driving through the problems

[rich yoke]

we win these

[lament furnace]

Ooh shoot that is a very good idea

Btw what do you guys think of Shanghai track?

[dusky root]

Marko has incredible power at Red Bull in the form of:
"If he gets removed I'm leaving with him"
~ Max Verstappen

Although the contract clause is gone apparently

[wet sequoia]

That’d be a good thing for Red Bull, time for them to learn how to be a team without solely basing it around Max

In any event he’s threatened to leave numerous times already

[dusky root]

They've never been a team, they always rely on one driver

So they'll just find their next poster boy and get on with their day. But it's good to dream

[lament furnace]

this one is true right?

[dusky root]

I've got no idea regarding what's brewing between the 3 red bull high ups, but everything else isn't too far off what we've seen over time

[sage raft]

I heard the thai owners are pretty much the ones keeping horner there

[modern pivot]

CHINESE GP 🔥🔥

[cyan saffron]

Yeah, looks about right.

[coarse obsidian]

It would be interesting to see where Red Bull will be after Max leaves/retires.

[sinful isle]

i hope Lewis and his engineer sits down to talk before china bro

they BETTER bro

[balmy mango]

adami talking too much😂

[sinful isle]

fr they need to talk about how much Lewis wants to talk

and what kind of info he wants

[neat latch]

Talk about water

[odd scarab]

"k1 button"

[neat latch]

Drs use drs

[sinful isle]

LOL

[sinful isle]

K1 button made me laugh

[mortal prairie]

im not sure ricky knows lewis is a 7x WDC

[odd scarab]

well he isnt used to the team but at least he couldve listened to him when lewis said to leave it to him

like its not like he never seen an f1 wheel

[neat latch]

But he kept going

[odd scarab]

at least he got the full ferrari experience

[neat latch]

Lewis should have done a Fernando there and just turn off radio

I bet he misses bono already

[odd scarab]

he might miss the entire team

[astral dune]

I rmb how Lewis and Bono were awkward af back in 2013 lmao

[pseudo quail]

Apparently it’s a mix of Lewis asking for more info and Adami not knowing how much he wants. They’ll hopefully sort it over the weeks. I don’t know what happened to Leclerc though because his engineer shouldn’t have gotten to the point of saying it’s just water

[astral dune]

I think Bryan meant (rain/drink) water

That would've made sense

but only saying "water" ofc it becomes a meme

[rugged iris]

Pirelli will award a new trophy to the driver who takes pole position for the sprint race from the Chinese Grand Prix

😭😭

[astral dune]

Looks like a thermos

[coral basalt]

Theres a sprint race for chinese gp

Thank god

[cyan saffron]

Oh, that's what this weird thing is about.

[woven condor]

as much as i want to see both ferrari drivers be on track

i'm hoping that zhou gets a chance to race at his home track in a competent car

[indigo charm]

Only happening if zhou pushes one of then off the stairs

[snow swan]

They hosted CHINA?

DAMN

[astral dune]

Those Chinese fans lmao

[sage raft]

nah but they really need a supervisor

[astral dune]

They need Steven He standing one side and constantly roasting them

[sage raft]

call a chinese fan or carlos sainz, just someone to stop ferrari’s madness

I put my hopes up okay

They have two of the best drivers

In one team

What could possibly go fucking wrong

Ferrari.

[cedar wyvern]

hey guys, so i got into f1 last year and this is the first season i'm watching from the beginning. i don't know why but i decided to make a bet for the chinese gp qualification. i bet on lando or oscar qualifying 1st do you think it's safe?

[neat latch]

Maybe

[sage raft]

Mclaren looks like the quickest so far, so yeah

[neat latch]

But if you want free money go for it

[sage raft]

Lando and oscar are the favorites

[limber raft]

Risky but ya go for it

[sage raft]

Lando usually is better over one lap, but who knows

[limber raft]

don't bet a lot on it tho

[neat latch]

"Risky"

[cedar wyvern]

i was thinking only 5 divided by the two bets so yeah, i only win like 1€...

[limber raft]

oh ya then go for it

there is a good chance you win it

[cedar wyvern]

they have the lowest odds so i went with them bcs of that and bcs australia went quite well for them

[neat latch]

Hm, i have an idea, bet on atleast one Williams getting in the top 10

Or two

[limber raft]

bro you want him to lose money ?

1 is it self very hard

[neat latch]

Dawg Williams is top midfield what are you talking about

[limber raft]

2 is gonna be a dream for them

[neat latch]

They did it in Australia

The dream is real

[cedar wyvern]

that might be a good idea, albon did place quite well this time even in the wet so in better conditions

i do wish carlos placed high this time...

[limber raft]

the wet equalizes the race

but you can try your luck for 1

[neat latch]

They're talking about qualifying

[limber raft]

either way

[neat latch]

Both Williams got into the top 10

[limber raft]

I mean they do have a good car

so could be

[neat latch]

Then what is there to argue about

[snow swan]

Williams are quick

Expect consistent Q3 for both drivers

[limber raft]

IDK

[snow swan]

Until the upgrades come from other teams

[limber raft]

ya lets see

even last year was like this for some teams

[woven condor]

albon wdc 🗣️

[neat latch]

1 Williams into q3, more risky than mclaren but still pretty safe

[snow swan]

We will be there

[cedar wyvern]

i think i'll be on the safe side this week wth my initial bet and then next week try smth a bit more risky

[snow swan]

early predictions for chinese gp?

Prediction 1 : MAX VERSTAPPEN WOULD NOT WIN CHINESE GP.
Prediciton 2: Both williams would finish in points.
Prediciton 3: A FERRARI WOULD BE ON THE PODIUM.

[limber raft]

Ferrari will be leclerc

Hamilton has not yet been set with the car yet

[snow swan]

https://tenor.com/view/bingchilling-gif-10067072887923246131

[tacit dove]

Lando about to collect another 1st place finish

[mortal prairie]

ferrari no where near podium

actually wait new tech reg idk maybe

[snow swan]

conditions gonna be different mate, but there is a small probability of a class 2 /class 3 rain shower.

anyways ferrari being ferrari would choke on strategies most probably.

[mortal prairie]

if ferrari finish on the podium i will be huffin that hamilton 8th hopium i think its better for me if they dont

[pseudo quail]

They’re better on strategies. They miscommunicated on the weather conditions and then took a risky gamble to win

[snow swan]

hamilton is washed man, EVEN IF ferrari somehow has A CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDING CAR, HE WOULD NOT WIN THE WDC.

[neat latch]

They would be affected

But performance wouldn't change much anyway, the new tech reg change is so small

[mortal prairie]

god let hamilton win an 8th it would be so fucking funny

[neat latch]

It would be funnier if he didn't, after all that hype and aura farming

[snow swan]

communication? there is barely any b/w lewis and his engineer, his engineer is treating him like a rookie, as if lewis dosnet know how to press k1 button (for overtaking) + there is also a language barrier b/w them.

[snow swan]

internet would blow up

this server would blow up

evrything would blow up

[mortal prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/earth-globe-explode-gif-14366757

world if hamilton wins the 8th

[pseudo quail]

They’re new to it. That was part of figuring out what sort of info to give Lewis

[snow swan]

ferrari choose hamiltion not because they wanted to have a good driver (they already have charles ) they choose him for the publicity he would bring to them which would benefit indirectly ferrari only + lewis is also on a good contract there so its a win win situation for them.

[pseudo quail]

They don’t even show most of the radios

From the bits they show you’d think Hamilton didn’t ask for anything

[mortal prairie]

if he did ask i dont think he would say "leave me alone"

[pseudo quail]

He asked then got too much

[snow swan]

i think seb vettel had this same race engineer, did seb spoke italian?

lewis better be using duolingo man.

[pseudo quail]

They all speak English

Leclerc doesn’t even use Italian

[snow swan]

its not his primary language, they cant communicate efficiently.

[pseudo quail]

True

[minor zodiac]

My top 10 for the Chinese Grand Prix

[pseudo quail]

There’s probably factors behind the scenes that keep the engineers on. I’m sure if the radios are this publicized then the team principals are well aware of the issues.

[snow swan]

somewaht related to what predictions i made.

[pseudo quail]

Bit high for sainz. Not sure the Williams can have that much pace over the Merc

[neat latch]

It's a net gain but publicity isn't going to gain you championship success, it will gain you money but they already have a lot of money ffs, they're Ferrari

[snow swan]

i mean imagine still lance stoll has more points than ferrari after the chinese gp, that would be interesting.

[neat latch]

If the operation itself doesn't improve nothing will change.

[pseudo quail]

If the teams perform like last year there’ll be a top 4 and then a best of the rest. Williams and Aston wouldn’t hold up in points outside of a wet race. China is likely to be a dry race anyway

[snow swan]

there is a probability of a class 2/3 shower.

[pseudo quail]

Unlikely ?

Seeing more articles on dry weather than wet

[lean prairie]

shanghai

[winter forge]

everything i have seen says a small chance

20% or less

[vocal lynx]

why is lewis so far down?

kimi as well

[minor zodiac]

Because Lewis will still struggle with a communication and still not used to the car

[verbal latch]

ni hao !!!!!!!!!!!

[vocal lynx]

Tbf his engineer kept bothering him after he told him multiple times to leave him to it, and it’s not like he forgot how to drive

[minor zodiac]

I’m not blaming him I’m just pointing it out that it’s a problem

[vocal lynx]

I have him below charles still, but idk about P7

[minor zodiac]

Charles will out pace him this year

[vocal lynx]

If they can iron out the issues that occurred in melbourne, they should be pretty high up

[vocal lynx]

Maybe for the first half

[minor zodiac]

For the whole year Charles is a damn good driver

[vocal lynx]

Not disagreeing at all given his experience with the team and his skill level, but if Lewis gets used to the car and adjust his driving style to his new car then he could match Charles

Possibly even higher

Cuz I believe that their current car is supposedly fitting for their driving styles

[neat fern]

The sprint is 4 am 💀😭😭

[mortal prairie]

sprint at 8 am for me

[rocky timber]

Where is Lawson?

[ashen tendon]

second rb seat is cursed af hes not getting top 10 icl

[mortal prairie]

my goat qualified 18th under no pressure 🔥 🔥

[rocky timber]

Poor Lawson! He gots this.

Also Lewis is soo far down. Is it because he didn't press K1?

[mortal prairie]

yes it is because he didnt press K1

didnt practice it, fumbled under pressure

[minor zodiac]

Going to be 18th or something lol

[rocky timber]

Hopefully Lawson is doing iRacing

[minor zodiac]

Did you hear he should press K1?

McLaren News | 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 (@McLarenF1_News) on X

ℹ️ 🗞️ AMuS:

Red Bull had already approached the FIA about the rear wings during the Formula 1 testing.

However, the FIA technical commissioners were unable to recognise anything suspicious either in the static tests or in the camera recording.

The McLaren rear wing is legal.

[gusty shoal]

.

[spare dew]

🤑

[stiff bough]

in other news, the sky shines bright

[twin fox]

Gucks... u r Benetton Blue too ???

[lament furnace]

So what does it mean basically

[twin fox]

There is nothing illegal about mclaren's wing

[mortal prairie]

300 years of mclaren dominance to follow

[lament furnace]

Ahh hah that’s cool

[lavish ore]

no way you think this after watching australia

this looks like a prediction someone would make before the season starts

[lament furnace]

Is the current Mclaren as dominant as RB 19

[stiff bough]

how would we know

[lavish ore]

the gap to the rest of the field is larger than the RB19

whether it'll be as dominant, who knows

[stiff bough]

Melbourne is a very unique track and the race was in mixed conditions, you can't draw any meaningful conclusions from race 1

[lament furnace]

I see

[minor zodiac]

Australia was a chaotic wet race. That proves very little to me

[lament furnace]

What’s the best track to judge performance

[stiff bough]

the next 23

[twin fox]

Probably not, i think sf-25 will catch up, max is always right there, and merc is not too far off either

[stiff bough]

so ill let you know in abu dhabi

[lament furnace]

I see i see

[lavish ore]

qualifying positions should at least give some information on the gaps we should expect between teammates

[lament furnace]

Pretty cool to hear all of your opinions

[ember rapids]

I guess the race will be 3:00 AM in my time zone.

[lament furnace]

It’s 6 pm on mine which is neat

[lavish ore]

7 am for me, not too bad. Australia and US races are the only bad ones

[minor zodiac]

Like someone said before that track is very unique so it’s hard to draw conclusions just from that

[lament furnace]

Can’t wait to miss every race in EU 😭

[lavish ore]

i suppose we'll find out for sure soon enough

[ember rapids]

I'm mildly autistic, I don't get sleepy easily without medication. So I have to stay awake.

[rocky timber]

Any F1 journalist: "watch me"

[minor zodiac]

Only thing I know is McLaren is far ahead

[lament furnace]

And Lando seems calmer too i heard

[lavish ore]

lando definitely seems to have improved

strong drive just like AD last year

but like others have said it was a funky race, we'll see how it goes when it's dry

[lament furnace]

I heard the instant implementation of rear wing rules might help Ferrari

[neat latch]

Red Bull are trying anything to slow down their rivals

[lament furnace]

Isn’t FIA themselves tighten the rules sooner than expected ?

[neat latch]

I mean they did it because Red Bull was screaming at their rivals, FIA are changing the regulations a bit but they personally didn't find anything on the mclaren

[lament furnace]

So probably nothing change from that regulation i assume?

[neat latch]

Some teams might be hit but seems like mclaren Will probably stay unaffected

[lament furnace]

‘Hah it’s just skill issue in car building” - said McLaten eh haha

[mortal prairie]

unban active suspension ‼️

[neat latch]

Why do you think mclaren have been silent about this? Because they know it won't do shit to them

[lament furnace]

Thanks for clarifying, i did not understand this drama at all

[minor zodiac]

It’s all going to reset in 2026 anyway

[neat latch]

2026: Mercedes engine domination lol

You know who else has a Mercedes engine?

[minor zodiac]

I would not sleep on a ford engine

[neat latch]

I think you're too awake on it

They're newcomers, vs those who are not newcomers

[minor zodiac]

Nah I don’t think so I just think people want to down play it because Ford is American

[lament furnace]

So what is the summary of 2026 new regulations

[neat latch]

Nah I'm being realistic, they're not going to be competitive straight away, like there's no way they'll compete with Mercedes and Ferrari engines straight away that's just not happening

[minor zodiac]

I’m not hyping it up to be the best thing but I’m not downplaying it to be trash ether

[neat latch]

It's going to be decent

Maybe tied with honda

[minor zodiac]

Overhyping them I have to say but we will see

[twin fox]

Fr, merc engines are gonna absolutely dominate first couple of years of new regs

[minor zodiac]

Just think it’s funny we are back to “Ford can’t compete against Ferrari” lol

[neat latch]

Honestly maybe

[minor zodiac]

I have no idea just really good story ngl

[neat latch]

Mercedes might dominate but the team itself might be throwing hands with mclaren

[formal egret]

shanghai

[brisk stump]

Lando norris hate is overrated but I wanna see op win

[minor zodiac]

Hate?

What hate does he get?

[neat latch]

Is that a serious question

[mossy monolith]

Me

[neat latch]

I admit that his attitude last year wasn't the best but rn the hate is forced, he won the race like what else do you want the man to do?

[mossy monolith]

I just really don’t wanna see McLaren dominance

So I’ve decided to become their hater

[minor zodiac]

Ofc he gets hate everyone does but there are levels do it

[mossy monolith]

I’m anti dominance

So I was a max hater in 2023 and so on

[minor zodiac]

Watching the wrong sport I’m afraid
