monaco-gp

[safe merlin]

tho ig there will be a meta

[dusky root]

Turbo i4 for the win

[snow swan]

2026 is already bringing in a new powertrain, the teams will have all that development time thrown into the bin immediately after 2 years
And do we remember 2014? the engines were so bad at the start compared to the V8s it was ridiculous

[late jewel]

From an engineering standpoint the hybrid v6 we have today is the best and most advanced engine. I still prefer a v8 or v12 though

Even a v10

[calm widget]

Then all the teams will pick that setup

[forest drift]

he sure is, but that’s bad on Red Bull cus Max alone won’t win the constructors

[maiden prism]

pushing f1 from spec racing (it’s not spec but it’s close) will make the playing field uneven. Very uneven even with the budget cap

[gloomy flame]

2014 cars were truly shocking

[snow swan]

not only demotivation for the development team but also the fans will not experience the same excitement

[gloomy flame]

they looked like ass and they drove like ass

[weary cedar]

More innovation though.

[weary cedar]

FIA can be blamed for most of their aesthetic aspect.

[minor zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-doom-doom-death-battle-vs-debate-gif-27228804

[mossy monolith]

They’re not gonna force teams to use V10s in 2028 lol

[late jewel]

The FIA seems like they want the cars to basically be the same now for closer competition

[snow swan]

Literally, that'll repeat with V10s - they'll sound better, sure, but the speed will be nowhere and again, the teams put too much effort into the V6 engines and hybrid powertrains

[late jewel]

I like where the sport is at now it’s close but teams can still innovate

[safe merlin]

ngl the halo made the v6 cars look good

[mossy monolith]

In fact, I don’t think the sport will ever go back to V10s

[calm widget]

People want V10s purely for sound and nostalgia

[weary cedar]

Yeah because they realized closer competition = more overtakes = more VIEWERS

[late jewel]

There’s such a small chance yeah

[mossy monolith]

All of the constructors would pull out

[safe merlin]

ngl the ferrari and honda engines sound fire

[forest drift]

just give equal cars to everyone

[maiden prism]

Hate how everyone hated on it until it started saving lives. It looks really good

[forest drift]

problem solved

[mossy monolith]

No road cars use a V10

[minor zodiac]

Literally this chat rn “redbull is done and also F1 will die”

[calm widget]

That’s just humans for most things

[mossy monolith]

Go watch IndyCar

[snow swan]

They will force every team because that is how the sport is - it's tight regulations, no room for V6 hybrid and V10 to coexist

[calm widget]

People hate something until it does something beneficial

[late jewel]

Red bull is done the sport will remain tho

[weary cedar]

W

[safe merlin]

hmm idk

[mossy monolith]

They’re not bringing back the V10 lol

[maiden prism]

I guess they just started hating every decision the fia made, reasonably so tbh

[minor zodiac]

It’s what said years ago too and they did not go anywhere lol

[mossy monolith]

And if they do, it’ll be down the road

[forest drift]

dominance comes and goes, we’ve seen that before

[late jewel]

Red bull is done in 2028 when max’s contract is up, won’t be back for a few years after

[calm widget]

Not even in racing, its just in general

[snow swan]

do I really need to state the obvious? there, "if FIA and F1 managements decide to go ahead with the idea of V10s in 2028"

[minor zodiac]

People were saying Mercedes was done too at one point

[dusky root]

Due to winning too much?

[minor zodiac]

People just like to be extreme

[late jewel]

They knew they weren’t serious

But when max retires red bull is actually cooked

[maiden prism]

yeah but now we have Russell and surprisingly kimi. Really amazing combination

[mossy monolith]

I’m so confused

[weary cedar]

1.5L I4 Hybrid would be so friggin tuff 🥶🥶🥶 Let's save the Planet, everyone!

[calm widget]

I remember when people were hating on Kimi before he even stepped into the car

[snow swan]

the "F1 will die" comment was somewhat a hyperbole, but mainly a reaction to the rumors of "V10's in 2028", stop bringing things out of context lmao

[dusky root]

Unironically would go hard

[late jewel]

That would be a smaller i4 than my Volkswagen lmao 😂

[dusky root]

If you watch races on mute

[minor zodiac]

I’m not taking anything you guys take serious ether. This is such a doomer thing to say. Teams are allowed to struggle I hope you know that

[forest drift]

only thing i don’t like about Red Bull domination is FIA did nothing to stop them, Mercedes got thrown with an engine freeze in 2015, 2017 cars changed in hope of a new top team, in 2020 they got DAS banned and the floor cut for favoring higher rake cars for 2021

[weary cedar]

Pretty much smaller than any other road car engine

[maiden prism]

It was because he’s a rookie going straight to Mercedes. Ngl I was a part of the hate until I saw his moves. Really good driver

[late jewel]

“Doomer thing to say” lol

[dusky root]

Let's not mention DAS. They got to exploit it for a whole season

[calm widget]

Bro I remember someone said he should off himself because of it, I get that he’s a rookie but god damn was the hate strong

[maiden prism]

damn

[late jewel]

I think f1 cars need 8.0 litre v12 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[dusky root]

Other teams could've caught up in the mean time, so it was a full field shut down

[forest drift]

and it was completely legal, FIA themselves said it but then it was illegal as it’d be too expensive for others to copy?

[mossy monolith]

Red Bull is certainly on a downward trajectory but that doesn’t mean they can’t turn it around

[minor zodiac]

I’m not denying that but they are not going anywhere

[calm widget]

They did it in the past

They can do it again

[dusky root]

The fia decision was beyond stupid, but it's not a good example of the fia trying to stop domination

[gloomy flame]

the v10 thing will never happen lol its an mbs pr stunt

[forest drift]

they need to get raw pace, race pace (specially in tyres) and overall the car lacks the same downforce that Mclaren car has

[late jewel]

Driver issues as well

[dusky root]

I don't think anybody said they're leaving the sport

[forest drift]

ok sure

[gloomy flame]

dumb question but how is downforce measured

[late jewel]

What are the chances that Williams becomes a consistent top 10 team by 2028??? Would be the turnaround of the decade

[forest drift]

it’s basically the amount of downforce the car can generate, either by its height compared to the floor = higher downforce

[calm widget]

We should put a 2JZ in the cars and let em race around the Nordschleife 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🗣️🔥🗣️

[forest drift]

or just the way the car is designed

[gloomy flame]

yeah but

[late jewel]

🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏

[gloomy flame]

when you're watching a video of like

[minor zodiac]

People are acting like if Max goes somewhere else they won’t be able to recover.

[gloomy flame]

lets say the senna gtr or fxxk evo

the narrator will be like "this car generates x amount of downforce"

how is that measured

[forest drift]

uhm idk

[late jewel]

They put things on the side of the car which measure the downforce and return with a number

[dusky root]

It's mostly mathematical

[late jewel]

They look like airplane wings kind of

[forest drift]

i guess it also depends on the wings

[calm widget]

I HAVE AN EQUATION

[late jewel]

You can also calculate it but it’s measured with those

[calm widget]

WE DID THIS IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING CLASS

[dusky root]

You either track the vortexes the cars generate or figure it out from the weight

[calm widget]

There’s 2 equations for lift and drag

Both are identical

Lemme find em

We did this as our first unit of AE

[late jewel]

Not math today please it’s a Saturday

I need a break

[calm widget]

Its a super simple equation

And im American

[forest drift]

bruh

[calm widget]

It works because air is a fluid, so you’re really considering each individual part’s interaction in the air

[maiden prism]

They can definitely improve after max is gone

[late jewel]

I actually learned something today thank you

[calm widget]

We did this with airplane flaps

[calm widget]

Np

[mossy monolith]

Drag isn’t the only thing that goes into downforce

[calm widget]

Ik but its a decent factor to consider

[mossy monolith]

In fact drag is only a small part

[minor zodiac]

I kinda want Max to leave and then he does well somewhere else with a good teammate so this can kinda die lol

[dusky root]

Luckily, nowadays computers do that calculating shit

[mossy monolith]

You need the lift equation in reverse

It’s downforce

[dusky root]

Just spam sensors on the car

[calm widget]

Its the same equation

[late jewel]

The aero rakes measure a lot of important info needed to calculate downforce

[forest drift]

that’s a point he kind of needs to prove, winning in a different team and environment with another good driver

[calm widget]

Both drag and lift share an equation

Because they are inverse forces

[forest drift]

you’ve seen Alonso win in Mclaren, Renault, Ferrari

[mossy monolith]

Nothing about angularity

[forest drift]

Vettel in Red Bull, Ferrari

[minor zodiac]

He does not need to prove anything but it would be nice to shut that up

[forest drift]

Schumacher in Benetton, Ferrari too

[mossy monolith]

Is that the cross sectional area?

[calm widget]

Ye

[forest drift]

Lewis won with Mclaren, Mercedes and now Ferrari

[calm widget]

Idk if ur counting airfoils to have angles on em

Because we used airfoils

[forest drift]

i guess he does

[calm widget]

I mean they make up airplane wings

[mossy monolith]

Would be insane to calculate an entire F1 car lol

[late jewel]

He’s only won one sprint race with Ferrari so far but yeah

[calm widget]

I mean yea, they have to use more calculations than simply drag and lift

[forest drift]

isn’t that what i said?

[calm widget]

Each part to be considered with respect to each other

[late jewel]

Sprint race doesn’t count mate

[calm widget]

That’s just the lift equation

Which

[forest drift]

it’s a win nonetheless

[calm widget]

Is the drag equation

Just change ur coefficient

[late jewel]

Does yours calculate wing area tho?

[calm widget]

Yes

We use it on airplanes

[mossy monolith]

Right drag coefficient becomes lift coefficient

[late jewel]

Ah mb

[calm widget]

That’s how airplane lift is calculated in our aerospace class lol

Its super cool

[calm widget]

Ur good

[minor zodiac]

Meh race at 2:00am sucks

[calm widget]

Because they are inverse forces, so you have different coefficients for each

[mossy monolith]

Ofc

[calm widget]

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or nah lol

[mossy monolith]

Nah I’m agreeing

[late jewel]

Not really though. It was a good drive but Ferrari didn’t have their chance to blow it due to there being no pit stops. It’s not a true test of the driver and team working together. Thus not an official win. Still well done by Lewis

[calm widget]

Oh gotchu

Ngl i really wanna calculate the downforce on a NASCAR car

Because that thing is about as aerodynamic as my microwave

And seeing that thing flip is beautiful and terrifying to me

[late jewel]

NASCAR is horrible 🔥🔥🔥

[calm widget]

Ay don’t disrespect my GOAT sport like that

[minor zodiac]

Yeah because I think Red Bull would have had different tires on or did a pit stop

[calm widget]

The racing’s fire

[gloomy flame]

AEROSPACE ENGINEERING MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️

[calm widget]

Less turns = closer racing

[late jewel]

Nooo especially not at an oval circuit I’d rather watch Indy car

[calm widget]

Its high school Aerospace lol

[mossy monolith]

It is interesting the difference in priorities between nascar and f1

[minor zodiac]

The racing in NASCAR is not fire lol

[lean prairie]

dream stream

[calm widget]

I like it

That’s a personal opinion tho

[minor zodiac]

And the way they broadcast it is horrible

[late jewel]

The racing in nascar is too close to even track all of what’s happening

[calm widget]

Broadcasting is a nightmare

[mossy monolith]

I just hate nascars playoff format

[calm widget]

Its an acquired taste

[calm widget]

That is something most nascar fans can get behind

Literally no one ik likes the format

[minor zodiac]

Plus people think there is overtaking in NASCAR

[calm widget]

There is quite a bit

[minor zodiac]

There is very little because they are so close to each other

[mossy monolith]

It’s not the same as F1 overtaking

[calm widget]

Its just in different style

[mossy monolith]

It’s all strategy of the line or whatever they call it

[late jewel]

NASCAR got turned into an American redneck sport unfortunately which sucks for the actual fans of it

The people who actually care about the racing

[mossy monolith]

Unless you’re an American redneck

[late jewel]

Fair play

[minor zodiac]

Ah it was always a red neck sport

[calm widget]

Its the DRAFT

hehehehaw

[mossy monolith]

Right right

[late jewel]

NASCAR crashes are highly entertaining though I’ll give it that

[mossy monolith]

Bro just laughed in redneck

[late jewel]

30 car pileups

[calm widget]

Yea NASCAR is a Southern sport

[calm widget]

Im not a redneck

I come from California

[mossy monolith]

Same here

[calm widget]

Yea im from Silicon Valley

[mossy monolith]

wtf same

[minor zodiac]

Ewwww

[calm widget]

W

[calm widget]

Yk where Google HQ is

[mossy monolith]

Santa Clara

[calm widget]

San Jose

[mossy monolith]

Is where I’m at

[calm widget]

Well

Mountain View

[late jewel]

And counting

[calm widget]

But I lived in San Jose

[calm widget]

D a m n

[mossy monolith]

Mountain View is a nice area

[mossy monolith]

That’s an epic graphic

[calm widget]

It looks like he’s applying the penalties to us

[wooden lion]

...

what has happened to liam lawson?

[calm widget]

Red Bull

[late jewel]

Cooked 🔥

[calm widget]

That’s what happened

[wooden lion]

bro has been so bad

[late jewel]

Lawson is absolutely deep fried at red bull

[tardy belfry]

I’m ready for this race

[maiden prism]

Why is This guy still in f1

[late jewel]

So we can get more memes

[maiden prism]

Understandable

[late jewel]

It’s the cars fault

[lilac flax]

Sameee

[late jewel]

Why not just stay up

[wooden lion]

It makes checo look lbetter😭 🙏

[tardy belfry]

I want to sleep a little before the race

[late jewel]

Fair enough

[tardy belfry]

Otherwise ima just sleep through my Sunday

[maiden prism]

Some people sleep. Not me yall stay safe tho

[lilac flax]

Cuz i have work tomorrow

[late jewel]

I find that if I sleep I will not be motivated to wake up for the race

I also have work but I’ll push through 🔥

[tardy belfry]

That’s why I have an alarm

[wooden lion]

so guys

[lilac flax]

Your loss lol

[wooden lion]

who will win china?

[unborn hazel]

how did hamilton manage to get win sprint???

[lilac flax]

LIAM LAWSON

[late jewel]

I mean my muscle memory will literally turn of the alarm and I’ll be asleep again

[wooden lion]

skill

[late jewel]

My win because I won’t be sleeping

[wooden lion]

100%

[lilac flax]

HES GONNA DO THE GREATEST COMEBACK

[late jewel]

My loss will be my 11am shift tomorrow

[unborn hazel]

I am a hamilton fan BUT LIKE HOW

[maiden prism]

P19

[wooden lion]

p20 ahem

[unborn hazel]

IT WAS A MIRACLE

[lilac flax]

I start at 6.30 😭

[maiden prism]

McLaren also kinda shit the bed

[late jewel]

Noooo chance that’s unlucky

[unborn hazel]

let a human dream they say

[late jewel]

Gonna be dreaming for a while unfortunately

[unborn hazel]

Yea

[late jewel]

I hope he does

[late jewel]

Just Lando

[unborn hazel]

Im cheering for Ocon, imagine my situation 😭

[maiden prism]

Piastri is NOT beating Hamilton even in a McLaren

[late jewel]

He might aquire his 401st career penalty 🔥🔥 something to look forward to

[late jewel]

He just did yesterday in qualifying

By quite a margin too

[modest compass]

😭

[unborn hazel]

I am a dreamer

He will not

I have faith

[late jewel]

10 seconds for ocon

[unborn hazel]

I got ptsd rn

[late jewel]

Lmao

[lilac flax]

In case anyone is wandering I’m not that delusional it was a joke

[unborn hazel]

He’s worse than Perez lol

[late jewel]

We know lol

[unborn hazel]

Y’all think Red Bull will replace him this year?

[topaz trellis]

why does hamilton appear with only 1 point in the standings

[late jewel]

If you bet $5 on Lawson and he wins you will get nearly $1000

That’s how bad it is

[stark badger]

That's wild

[late jewel]

He appears with 9 in f1 app

[unborn hazel]

Bro 😭

[late jewel]

Might do it ngl

Hope for a tornado to take out everyone else or smth

[unborn hazel]

Its not his fault at all tho

Like

[late jewel]

No not by any means

[unborn hazel]

Red Bull’s car this year is a damn truck

[late jewel]

It’s just set up for max

[keen pelican]

Lawson just needs to drive backwards and take everyone out. Surely he will win

[unborn hazel]

Yeaa

[late jewel]

Its a bit of a tractor but the main problem is that they only care about making the car drivable for max

[unborn hazel]

And it’s not even Max’s fault as well

[grim egret]

what could be the main diffuculty lawson is experiencing

is it rear grip?

[unborn hazel]

He’s just a better driver

[unborn hazel]

I really don’t know lol

[dusky root]

The front end is too skiddaddly

[late jewel]

No it’s the wing setup very understeery car atm with big snaps of oversteer randomly

[subtle crest]

I’m just happy if Russel doesn’t win and if I see Oscar with a smirk. I know that it’s too much to ask for but I hope I’ll see it tomorrow.

[dusky root]

The car sometimes wants to turn, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it wants to too much

[grim egret]

is max also experience this

[dusky root]

Yes

[subtle crest]

Oversteer and understeer at the same time? Beautiful

[dusky root]

But he can manage it, experience helps

[grim egret]

cause in testing he wasnt all over the place like this

[late jewel]

Yes max can feel it before it happens tho

[forest drift]

yes but he’s used to it as it’s his driving style

[dusky root]

He was, both were

[unborn hazel]

Why does that fit Max’s personality lol

[dusky root]

It doesn't, he's been in F1 for way longer

[tardy belfry]

Is McLaren just gonna wipe the floor with everyone tomorrow

[dusky root]

Has the experience to work it out + the talent

[forest drift]

likely, yes

[tardy belfry]

Tomorrow will also be my first ever f1 race!

[unborn hazel]

Im talking abt inconsistently in Max’s personality, like, persona

[forest drift]

oh nice

[unborn hazel]

THATS SO COOL

[dusky root]

Ah, my fault

[late jewel]

First one you’ve ever watched? Or you’re there in person?

[dusky root]

Got no idea what you mean however

[unborn hazel]

Nono it’s okay

[tardy belfry]

First one I’ve ever watched

I am not traveling to china for F1 lol

[dusky root]

Enjoy it

[tardy belfry]

Hopefully we don’t get anymore 2 am races

[late jewel]

Ayy welcome, also George will have a bit of a chance at the start and if he can pull ahead of Lando and piastri there he will have some hope but really it will probably be McLaren dominated

[late jewel]

Just depends on where the race is

[unborn hazel]

I was thinking abt going to Interlagos, but 5,000 reais is not okay

[late jewel]

In china timezone it’s at a reasonable hour

[tardy belfry]

I’d be fine with a 2nd place finish from a Mercedes driver

Kimi has a lot of potential so

[late jewel]

Yeah if he put in a better qualifying lap they would have chance at second and third

But he’s definitely been great so far

[tardy belfry]

I watched highlights for the last race

[unborn hazel]

Do you guys think Audi will have a chance in 2026?

[late jewel]

You should watch Abu Dhabi 2021 highlights if you’re just getting into the sport

Might be the best race of all time

[stiff bough]

a chance for what

to score points? yeah

[late jewel]

Max and Lewis fighting for championship

[unborn hazel]

Anything

Im desperate

[forest drift]

most controversial doesn’t mean best race of all time

[late jewel]

Well it was a close ending

Which happened to cause controversy

But still the best

The FIA does need to get it together tho

[lament furnace]

he needs Anthony's hug ASAP

[icy walrus]

yo

anthony gives good luck for the next race weekend

[grim egret]

no, I expect lando to choke, but piastri is gone.

he has everything to be a number1 driver

[forest drift]

i bet you thought Lando would bottle in Australia too uh?

[grim egret]

yes

but thats his thing

one race he is a god

[icy walrus]

I don't understand piastri gets one good quali result and immediately he is better than lando 🤷‍♂️

[grim egret]

the other he is cluchy nervous and cant breathe

[grim egret]

I honestly believe he is

[limpid thistle]

When's the next anything

[grim egret]

composure is where lando lacks

if lando was good he had the car to beat max in brazil last year

thats where he lost the championship

[icy walrus]

well lando is better is most other aspects

[grim egret]

yes in beating himself up

and going into deppression

[forest drift]

let’s not act like Lando didn’t get massively unlucky

pitted then 2 laps later there was a red flag

[grim egret]

he tries way too hard instead of letting his skill and talent come to him

[forest drift]

because Lando had good pace in the wet and was pushing Russell

[grim egret]

yes

at the end of the day max was killing that track in the wet with a lesser car

land is horrible at starts

[forest drift]

was it a lesser car? in the dry during the sprint he was on both Mclaren tail

[grim egret]

if he was to improve is at lights out

he chokes at launch

always

[balmy cipher]

Time for sleep before the race

[icy walrus]

oscar does that when he gets a bad result he puts himself down just look at the interviews during last season and his rookie season

[grim egret]

na thats a lie

in comparison with lando?

[icy walrus]

look at the post race interviews and then tell me im lying

[tardy belfry]

Watching this rn

[grim egret]

lando looks like he is looking for a bridge to jump over

[candid salmon]

guys, if you ever feel useless, just know there’s a Liam Lawson podium graphic sitting in the F1 social media archives

[craggy rivet]

which car is best on tyre save?

mclaren and ferrari?

[zinc rock]

ferrari and alpine

[little kestrel]

wtf with Sainz tyre deg

[vague pumice]

Bith

Both *

But I swear there cars came late

[snow swan]

Stroll dominance incoming

[vocal lynx]

but can they translate it for the actual race tho

[craggy rivet]

ez podium for lh then

[zinc rock]

idk

[vocal lynx]

feels like whoever has clean air and good tire deg are for sure winning the race

[craggy rivet]

goat

[zinc rock]

aston has insane race paxe

specifically stroll

[craggy rivet]

rage bait

[zinc rock]

stroll was the 2nd fastest driver in s1

nope

genuinely

look at that mean sector 1

stroll faster than antonelli in s2

stroll over-performing in s3

im telling you mate watch out for lance

[snow swan]

Stroll is Deadass a threat

My goats had enough of the banta and slander

2026 world champion

[weary cedar]

Stroll driving like Prime Senna whenever he feels like it

[icy walrus]

yo

[icy walrus]

another delusional ferrari fan

[weary cedar]

Just wish he made it easy to like him

Even though he's a pay driver i feel like everyone would like him if he was humble and honest

[stiff bough]

is he not humble

he doesnt really say much

other than generic responses in every interivew

[mighty sparrow]

Guys who got pole again? was it lando

[sage raft]

Piastri

[stiff bough]

some guy named oscar piastri

[mighty sparrow]

oh ok

what happened to williams all of a sudden

fell asleep after australia

no offence

[vague pumice]

For real

What's going on with Williams

[sage raft]

albon P10 isn’t bad

sainz seems to be struggling with the car

[mint crown]

man, I am a bit dissappointed with the quali results for Ferrari after the sprint quali and race

[vague pumice]

It's not the usal car he would drive

[sage raft]

hopefully he gets used to it soon

[vague pumice]

Same

But hey its only the second race

[mighty sparrow]

yez

[sage raft]

also racing bulls is looking strong, so a williams starting 10th is alright

[mighty sparrow]

also lawson is literally perez,but from new zealand

[vague pumice]

Nahhh

[sage raft]

red bull be damned, that 2nd seat is useless

[vague pumice]

He is a little better then perez

[mighty sparrow]

P20 in twice was it?

[sage raft]

this weekend yeah

[calm hare]

Im sure he's had mutiple times to adjust to the car during practice

[mighty sparrow]

poor verstappen carrying the team

severe back pain

[sage raft]

as max said, liam would be better in a vcarb. and i think the same goes for yuki and isack

[vague pumice]

Well it's like how he was back in ferrari

[mighty sparrow]

Sauber doing relatively well this year-mostly due to Huuuulkenberg

*only when compared to last year tho

[vague pumice]

Oki but I have a question

[calm hare]

I feel like yuki should go to RB just to see how it goes sinse he started doing decent late last season

[sage raft]

yuki has been decent since 2023

but that red bull seat is just… annihilating

[mighty sparrow]

"the seat is full of water,like full of water"

[sage raft]

[mighty sparrow]

wow

words of wisdom

[gritty plover]

Beautifully said

[mighty sparrow]

man even americans are more educated than ferrari crew

[sage raft]

If liam really is unable to perform for a good amount of races, then yeah i’d give a chance to yuki too, but i wouldn’t expect anything crazy. Best thing for yuki would be finding another team or, paradoxically, staying in vcarb if he doesn’t get kicked out.

[mighty sparrow]

no offence btw

t o y o t a

had the charger turned on...forgot to plug computer in

[snow swan]

What it’s delusional that I think stroll is gonna embarrass the whole grid

No wheel knowledge from you

[manic holly]

embarrass the whole grid by crashing into them and them being embarassed that they couldnt avoid it orrrrr..?

😭

[snow swan]

We all know stroll is top 3 most talented on the grid pal 😭😭😭

Deffo better that lando

[manic holly]

are we fr

[snow swan]

Did I stutter

[nocturne panther]

freaky formula 1??? 😳

[manic holly]

no but thats a crazy take

[snow swan]

Bro r we Deadass rn

Ofc im joking

[manic holly]

oh

😭

[spiral gorge]

stroll is just mediocre not like mazepin-tier or anything

[manic holly]

im not saying that js that he really shouldnt be in f1 still

sure hes a great driver compared to most non competitive drivers but compared to those few he is ranked low

js not mazepin tier

[spiral gorge]

for being purely a pay driver that barely proved himself in junior formulae he's pretty much as good as you can get tbf

[prisma ingot]

how’d he barely prove himself?????

he had the most dominant F3 season ever

gp3

[spiral gorge]

his dad paid for him to have the best engineers and everything iirc

[prisma ingot]

whatever it was

[craggy marsh]

he didn’t even score the most that’s year if i’m not mistaken

[spiral gorge]

have you seen that one f3 crash he had

[prisma ingot]

he won the title by like

200 points

[spiral gorge]

absolutely diabolical lmfao

[prisma ingot]

he was insane

they took him right from gp3 he skipped gp2

[manic holly]

tbf he prolly wouldnt of made f1 if it wasnt for his father

seriously good junior year tho

that one year

[prisma ingot]

then he had that good williams rookie season

[prisma ingot]

bad one after but shit car

[spiral gorge]

also apparently some meddling with the cars, this was from something I watched a while back

[prisma ingot]

look

stroll deserves a seat more than nando

nando is old

nando is regressing

i love him but

[craggy marsh]

oh yea nah i’m tweaking but he had the best engineers by far and an amazing team ofc he won

[spiral gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/fernando-alonso-laughing-carlos-sainz-laughing-alonso-laugh-alonso-laughing-choiskai-gif-13707819022104737739

[prisma ingot]

unc your time is up

[craggy marsh]

0/10 ragebait

[prisma ingot]

youre getting beat by stroll

nando will retire this year anyways

[craggy marsh]

does he know?

[prisma ingot]

i predict he will

[spiral gorge]

why would he retire when the 2026 car will be much more influenced by newey and give him a potential chance at #3 and #33

[prisma ingot]

maybe aston wont want him

[craggy marsh]

exactly lol

[prisma ingot]

they might want yuki

who is on a fucking crazy run rn

[craggy marsh]

fernando’s barely trying this he knows it’s a filler year

[prisma ingot]

aston might want to move on

from alonso

[spiral gorge]

stroll's seasons in junior formulae might have been insane, but without lawrence stroll's pockets which are also coincidentally insane, he might have just been decent to mid

[prisma ingot]

i predict he hangs the boots and makes way for a younger driver

[zinc rock]

no way alonso retires before 2026

[prisma ingot]

i see it

[zinc rock]

he’ll do 2026 then leave

especially when aston might contend for 2026

[spiral gorge]

2027 is the last season I can see alonso competing realistically

if he gets close but not quite there in 2026

[prisma ingot]

unless he regresses badly

[craggy marsh]

alonso leaves after 2026 of the car isnt a contender or he wins a title or gets multiple race wins

[prisma ingot]

which i see him doing

right now

[craggy marsh]

if he falls just short he’ll stay for 2027 if he can

[prisma ingot]

this season alonso has regressed from the past 2 years

quite a bit

he might want to take his talents elsewhere

[craggy marsh]

it’s been 1.5 races relax 😭

[prisma ingot]

im predicting over here

i said this before the season started

[zinc rock]

alonsos gotten slightly worse

and lance has gotten

[prisma ingot]

im just re-stating

[spiral gorge]

he has talked about going to wec and partnering with max at some point which I can see happening but only after he has another title shot

[zinc rock]

a lot better

[prisma ingot]

lance got his confidence back

[spiral gorge]

lance is like 'almost good' tier imo

[prisma ingot]

and im so fucking happy lance got his confidence back

im seeing 2020 lance all over again

im in love

[prisma ingot]

man

alonso isnt gonna have another title shot

im sorry but

how old is he

43

[spiral gorge]

lewis is 40

[prisma ingot]

ok

alonso would be 45 by the time 26 rolls around

45 is insane

even at 42 lewis should consider retirement

[bold spindle]

The rest of the field crashes, Gasly first, Hulk second and Albono 3rd official race results leaked fr

[prisma ingot]

i see lewis retiring like next year

alonso either this year or the next

[zinc rock]

@prisma ingot look at lance’s sector 1 pace

faster than 18 other drivers

absolutely brilliant

[bold spindle]

W stroll recently

he rememberd how to drive and im here for it

[prisma ingot]

i hope he can get another podium

its gonna be in the wet

lance is a wet king

pause

like 2020 turkey where he shouldve won

ive been waiting for a stroll podium since 2020

its too long overdue

he shouldve gotten one at baku 2021 if his tyre didnt burst

he was running P4

[bold spindle]

didnt he get his first one at baku in like

17

[prisma ingot]

yeah

his rookie season

[bold spindle]

and then 2020 were the others i think

[prisma ingot]

2020 monza

[bold spindle]

i know italy cause my GOAT won

[prisma ingot]

2020 sahkir where perez won

[bleak gull]

lewis based

[zinc rock]

do you wanna be added to the stroll fanclub group chat™️

[prisma ingot]

he had one more iirc

but i cannot remember

or no

he didnt

[bold spindle]

turkish?

[prisma ingot]

huh

[bold spindle]

no

that was a pole huh

[prisma ingot]

turkey he shouldve fucking won man

im still pissed off

[zinc rock]

2017 baku

[bold spindle]

that race was so stupid

[prisma ingot]

he had a 20 second gap

[zinc rock]

2020 sakhir

2020 monza

[prisma ingot]

then his floorboard fucked him up

[prisma ingot]

lance stroll fan group without the biggest stroll fan

what is this bullshit

[bold spindle]

17 azerbaijan, 20 italy, 20 sakhir were the podiums

[zinc rock]

accept my friend request

[zinc rock]

2025 china

trust

[bold spindle]

Gasly wins and lance podiums again trust

and

hulk gets his first

cause why not

we love nico

or atleast I do

[craggy marsh]

how lando feels aborting quali laps instead of just finishing them:

[late jewel]

What did u think?

[tardy belfry]

Fire ending

[late jewel]

Watching that live was crazy

[zinc rock]

@tardy belfry watch 2019 hockenheim next

regarded by many as the greatest race in f1 history

2019 german grand prix

[burnt torrent]

LIAM LAWSON IM READY FOR YOUR GREATNESS IN p20!!!

[late jewel]

If Lawson doesn’t DNF he could actually finish p17ish

Because 3 others likely will DNF

[late jewel]

This one was also fire

We need that circuit back

[cerulean osprey]

Top 3 predictions for china

[late jewel]

More so just saving himself the embarrassment of knowing the time lol

[manic holly]

hate how i literately js lost 4 positions in quali from a straight..
in a 2023 red bull car

f1 23 is so peak

[craggy marsh]

probably a bad setup then lol

[manic holly]

my setup was perfect asl

[craggy marsh]

bad exit from the previous corner?

[manic holly]

hit apex perfectly

wait

i wobbled

nvm

[late jewel]

F1 2020 the best imo I’ve played 16,20, and 24

[manic holly]

nice

[late jewel]

What track u on

Rn

[neat latch]

Bro is channeling his inner Lando Norris

[manic holly]

real

[craggy marsh]

24??!?

[late jewel]

F1 24

5!3 game

The game*

[thick fox]

lol

[late jewel]

Dead chat 🥱

[wet sequoia]

Probably because over half the server is Europeans and they’re asleep, plus no race running

I suggest touching grass

[late jewel]

Boring 🥱

[late jewel]

Also why you sound so angry lol

[wet sequoia]

Not angry, just the honest truth

[late jewel]

You should too

[wet sequoia]

I would if I didn’t have the flu so I’m staying in bed

[late jewel]

Lies

[main tundra]

Guys who is going win this race??

[late jewel]

Hopefully piastri

[main tundra]

Good your prediction, my prediction is Lewis o max

Or Norris

[late jewel]

I think Norris or George have better shots

[main tundra]

Yeah in the sprint George was incredible vs Leclerc

[edgy remnant]

Your reasoning for Lewis in the mix?

[wet sequoia]

Probably because he won the sprint so he can win from 5th

Despite the fact he has 4 drivers in front and 1 behind who are so in tune with their own car’s characteristics

Out of the top 6 he’s the least likely to win followed by Verstappen

[craggy marsh]

how do those thing correlate what

he won the sprint cause he was on pole and had clean air the entire race

he doesn’t have that here

[wet sequoia]

Did you read my other 2 messages?

That I wrote directly underneath that one?

[craggy marsh]

no not really tbh

[left fjord]

Lawson 20 to 1 compilation inbound (I am stupid)

[craggy marsh]

19 engines stall on the start and lawson passes them all and wins

[left fjord]

absolute cinema

[tall nexus]

1. Oscar
2. Lewis
3. Isaac
   Rooting for an unexpected podium

[turbid canopy]

but

im in earth online

[late jewel]

Hadjar podium would be legendary

[wet sequoia]

Hadjar podium over Tsunoda would be…

I think someone might implode from that

[toxic siren]

I would

[wet sequoia]

You implode every GP session anyway when it becomes a circus

[toxic siren]

no I don't

I enjoy circus F1.

I can't stand boring F1.

It makes me want to [REDACTED]

[sullen star]

you mean ferrari stand?

[wet sequoia]

Something something rule 1 something something rule 5

[toxic siren]

Something something rule 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and Discord ToS

[verbal cosmos]

I need to wake up at 3am for metal going in circles ffs

[toxic siren]

I'm staying up instead.

Easier.

[verbal cosmos]

Gl

[toxic siren]

If I go to sleep early and wake up for it then I'll just fall asleep ten minutes in.

[wet sequoia]

I suggest power napping on your wife’s lap before the race to prevent multiple rule breaks and Discord ToS

[verbal cosmos]

I'm drinking a red bull

[toxic siren]

Good idea.

[wet sequoia]

Speaking of napping I’m going back to bed with the flu

[toxic siren]

don't die.

[wet sequoia]

And hope my alarm works for 5pm

[wet sequoia]

Flu not COVID, I’ll be fine

[toxic siren]

must be nice

a race that late.

[wet sequoia]

They are usually at midnight for me

Just remember that

[toxic siren]

you should know

300,000-700,000 people die from the flu every year

Just saying

every year

[verbal cosmos]

Vaccinate

[wet sequoia]

I’ve tested myself and had someone test me while acting like a mother

[proud grotto]

i have too much time on my hands

[verbal cosmos]

Hopefully tmmr we'll get Max and Hamilton action like in 2021 Abu Dhabi

[late jewel]

Doubt it. Max will b be trying to get by Lando and use all of his focus for that

[verbal cosmos]

Probably yea

[toxic siren]

ain't nobody passing at this shit tier track

[verbal cosmos]

Bring Checo back omfg

[cold solar]

i mean hes following instructions
horners fault, didnt say which one

[late jewel]

It’s B tier

[late jewel]

Hell no

Checo fell off

[raven chasm]

valtteri in RB seat 🦾

[late jewel]

I support that

[soft lynx]

Dude, me and a friend of mine found out stuff about his girlfriend

Things that if I say, I will be banned from here

[zinc rock]

im ok with this

lance p9🔥

[latent compass]

you can say rip to his career if he does that

[raven chasm]

yeah who knows

[narrow garnet]

you can say rip to the career of anyone who's in that 2nd red bull

[formal seal]

cap

lawson will win

trust

he's not here to make friends

[raven cliff]

hes just p20 to throw them off guard its all part of the plan

[formal seal]

i asked chat gpt he also thinks he's gonna be p20

[left fjord]

lawson intentionally sandbagging to make his comeback look that much better

[formal seal]

aw mein

i wish they kept checo

with hus big gyatt

[left fjord]

they paid checo to leave in exchange for three p20 qualifications

baller

[formal seal]

verstappen my glorious king will save redbull's downfall again (393793839)

[raven cliff]

they are cloning verstappen in the back of the red bull garage they are just sapping all of lawson's power to do it so he has to qual p20

[latent compass]

I'm so fucking satisfied that ppl are starting to realize checo was never the problem. (No idea how they didn't realize earlier when all the 4 prior 2nd RB drivers have been fumbled by their team quite badly)

[zinc rock]

checo was still

not very good

[latent compass]

Well

[zinc rock]

yes the car was hard to drive

but that still doesnt excuse the results that he put up

[latent compass]

When the car stayed in a neutral position at the start of each season he was quite close to Max, sometimes he could even challenge him

[zinc rock]

especially in 2023

[latent compass]

But when car development started

Rip

[latent compass]

It kinda does, you can't expect someone to perform well with something that is quite the opposite of what you're comfortable with

Anyone in that seat would be in a similar situation

Even my goat, Alonso.

[left fjord]

stroll could drive it 🔥

(into the wall)

[fiery grail]

MY GOAT LULU IS BACK

[craggy zenith]

Two things can be true at the same time

The car is a hunk of garbage that Max can turn into a diamond

Checo was also beyond mid

Scoring a grand total of 8 points after Baku is just unacceptable

[urban crown]

Race at 3 am

[lucid cypress]

yuki/hadjar podium guys trust meee

[dry remnant]

me too 😭

hopefully my alarm works lol

[hexed sinew]

Do you reckon yuki will suffer the same problem when he gets in a red bull seat?

[raven wagon]

Can he handle a loose rear and a sharp front end

[lucid cypress]

im hoping my goat doesnt go to rb, with the history of the second seat

no ty

[hexed sinew]

That second red bull seat could end up being a hard sell to high demand drivers

[urban crown]

Honestly im debating staying up for it. My sleep schedule is fucked from work and masters school so maybe an all nighter shall help reset it lmao

[latent compass]

He wasn't lmaooooo

[radiant scarab]

Is that what female fans of piastri are calling themselves now?

Clever but feels illegal

[hexed sinew]

I fucking WISH we did

[radiant scarab]

Why do you wish this

Wish for better things

Like an Oscar wdc in 2025

[hexed sinew]

I get three wishes

[raven cliff]

whats your third

[hexed sinew]

to marry piastri

ah fuck I forgot to wish for more wishes

[raven cliff]

its ok you maximized your three

[hexed sinew]

😭

[magic flare]

Hamilton finally found the k1 lol

Anyone’s here going on Interlagos gp??

[lean prairie]

woah reached already ?

[magic flare]

Already?

Wow

Sorry @lean prairie I’ve stolen your nickname

[lucid cypress]

[magic flare]

4,5 hours

[lucid cypress]

💔

[magic flare]

Yeah

I need to sleep but I can’t

[storm drum]

Fr, I can’t even take a nap cause my parents would then find out. TOT gonna be playing candy crush till 3am est

[harsh oriole]

RACE DAY

[small basin]

mazepin

[small basin]

did bro just change from ferrari to mclaren?

[boreal viper]

Another week
Another Sunday
Another day to set my alarm early af to watch an f1 race

[full path]

Canon update guys

[woven crane]

oi oi oi

[iron maple]

do i stay up til midnight or just watch in the AM?

[small basin]

my fellow tsunoda fan

[vernal holly]

Will Oscar win the race?

[lucid cypress]

gonna be close between the two mclarens

[vernal holly]

Lando seems further behind this race

Not as good on the track

[modest compass]

is Liam Lawson COOKED..?

[royal loom]

I have him in as P1

[vernal holly]

My money gotta go on someone

[lucid cypress]

my top 3 prediction is yuki hadjar albon trust

[vernal holly]

Please don’t let me down Oscar

[snow swan]

.sessions

[royal loom]

It’s Oscar , Max , Lando imo

Lewis might snag a top 3 finish

🤷

[lucid cypress]

i want a yuki podium

[vernal holly]

Max is struggling with the car and doesn’t expect to do well

George was very close to Oscar’s time in Q3

I think Russell and the two McLarens

[void stream]

i think sainz will get the points today after a dissapointing quali ngl

[feral radish]

[velvet crater]

I hear Stroll had a defensive masterclass this sprint

[vernal holly]

What are the chances that Lando wins the race and not Oscar?

[velvet crater]

mmmm 50/50

[vernal holly]

Looking at his lap times over the week, he’s more consistent and faster

[small basin]

yippieeeee

[tender cypress]

Hamilton as also admitted ferrari fked up with the setup and the car is over balanced in high speed

[cold heron]

home race today !! hoping its a good one

[regal needle]

Let's get ready next Hour

[golden narwhal]

someone said S-M-M yesterday

[hexed verge]

Small chance of rain near the end of the race

[gray vapor]

actually?

[golden narwhal]

so top 4 should all be on 2 stop medium hards

[magic flare]

Who I’ll lead after turn 1?

Make your predictions

[magic orbit]

Lando Norris 🔥

[shut jungle]

my boy Piastri

[fluid sage]

i love women

[shut jungle]

Cambios en el reglaje de la suspensión del Red Bull de Liam Lawson. Saldrá del pitlane

Changes on Liam Lawson Red Bull set up. He will start from the pitlane
#f1 #ChineseGP

X · Mar 23, 2025, 4:04 AM

[proven leaf]

Get the bad tires out the way

[golden narwhal]

there's no option

other than medium hard hard

[proven leaf]

Soft hard hard 😭

[golden narwhal]

the 3 used soft is scrubbed

those were the quali ones

so at most you get 4 laps in clean air

before it falls off a cliff

doesnt sound logical at all

race is 56 laps and you have to muster up 23-25 laps on each hard set if you start on softs

[mossy monolith]

Watch this, ready? Hard hard soft

Someone should go for it

Liam

[golden narwhal]

thats against the rules

[shut jungle]

they have to change compound

[golden narwhal]

2 different compounds for a race

[mossy monolith]

Sorry forgot the soft

[white bison]

Ok how can I skip my grandmother's 80th to watch the race?

[golden narwhal]

will be a snoozefest

[shut jungle]

get your grandma to watch it with you

[golden narwhal]

everyone will try to spread out to conserve tires

nothing will happen until pit window

so you have about 20 minutes

[mossy monolith]

Let’s see if Lando can figure out what the hell was wrong with him during the sprint

[proven leaf]

I just hope

[mossy monolith]

But he already won last week 🥺🥺

[lean prairie]

its okay as long as you do not steal my client 🫡🫣

[golden narwhal]

i think lando cant possibly fumble again

wont help his case at all

[tough hollow]

@golden narwhal do you like Lewis

[golden narwhal]

why

[tough hollow]

Asking

[mossy monolith]

@carmine root @exotic rock how we feeling rn?

[golden narwhal]

i consider him a GOAT

a Goat not the Goat

[tough hollow]

Let’s fucking go

[golden narwhal]

not yet

[tough hollow]

I will take it

[golden narwhal]

i want to see max verstappen at the end of this season

[tough hollow]

I hope he spins today

[mossy monolith]

I think Michael is my all time favorite

[golden narwhal]

lewis needs to find that dawg in him again

he's entering his schumacher mercedes era

[mossy monolith]

Saying that right after his win is crazy

[proven leaf]

Lando domination wouldn’t bore fans …. ?

[mossy monolith]

I just want a George win v badly

[thin berry]

I hope he doesn’t and we have a proper battle

[golden narwhal]

i consider his win happened due to mclaren fumble

[mossy monolith]

I mean sure but he still put the car into a pretty damn good place

[golden narwhal]

he put it in the best place actually

[mossy monolith]

I agree with notapolarbear

[golden narwhal]

clean air the whole race and best tire wear of all drivers

thats a correlation

[dire hollow]

Used to not like Russel but he’s growing on me, mans funny

[mossy monolith]

Clean air seems to be the best thing you can get around China

[golden narwhal]

mclaren is said to have the best tire wear and they struggled

[mossy monolith]

Join the Merc family

[golden narwhal]

now a mclaren is on pole

who can stop him

[mossy monolith]

Lando

I think we should have a good battle on our hands

[golden narwhal]

lando better have the best start of his life

[mossy monolith]

Hopefully

[proud barn]

I am so tired

[golden narwhal]

he has george lewis max for company

all good starters

[proud barn]

Yo do y’all think I should set a timer for the race and fall asleep

[golden narwhal]

keeping him behind for 2-3 laps will be enough to ruin a strategy

[snow swan]

Guys both ferrari dnf, trust.

[proud barn]

I hope

[golden narwhal]

my bet is albon dnf

[echo rune]

No

Grrr

[golden narwhal]

its his birthday today

[echo rune]

Liam will finish p17 trust

[snow swan]

Whose?

[echo rune]

🙏🙏

[fossil bone]

lawson starting from the pitlane

[echo rune]

How come

[fossil bone]

suspension set up changes

[echo rune]

Omg 💀💀

Better be faster then

[snow swan]

Man that rb seat is cursed fs..

[fossil bone]

"Yeah he didn't score points, but he started from the pitlane can you blame him?"

[echo rune]

Faster than sauber hahahaha

[snow swan]

When liams was at vcarb he was outpacing checo in rb

[thin berry]

(Yes)

[golden narwhal]

liam lawson at the start of every race: "Speed... I am Speed..."

[echo rune]

Yeah it’s 100% the Redbull

[snow swan]

Now Yuki in vCardb is outpacing liam in rb.
