HELP

[toxic siren]

it's no

THATS NOT HAPPENING THIS TIME

[marble bear]

Yuki has been confirmed to go redbull?

[fast hawk]

If Yuki talks to and listens to Albon, he'll do much much better

He can't set up the car like Max does because nobody can drive the car like Max. He should set up the car that feels good to him even if it makes him technically slower

[toxic siren]

Slower, but as long as it's faster than P20 I don't think anyone cares that much.

You obviously want to shoot for the moon, but you have to be reasonable with how the car operates.

[neat latch]

If yuki performs in that car he's the goat, if he doesn't then christian horner deserves to be arrested along with the dinosaur fossil

[toxic siren]

I expect him to go P12-P8 and I think that's a bold choice.

[timber oxide]

We only needed 2 races to shut up those who have no wheel knowledge, who were yapping about perez this, perez that. Now let's see if super yuki can become a hero or end being reduced to dust too

1 driver doing shit on a year most probably is their fault, 4 drivers suffering consistently across time when they did or are doing good in other teams is the team's fault

[sage raft]

Absolutely

And if yuki fails, they got so many rookies to ruin

I hope the rookie meat grinding machine doesn’t come back, but things aren’t promising so far with how critical their 2nd seat problem has become

[neat latch]

At this point one of the drivers Red Bull fucks over is going to end up suing them

For good reason

[timber oxide]

Only max can drive that shitbox, if he leaves in 2026-2027 then what?

[sage raft]

They’ll have to build a completely new car

[neat latch]

Red Bull becomes midfield

[nova vale]

Guys should i present my strategy

[cyan saffron]

At this point the RBJT is only good to get into F1.

[nova vale]

** MY STRATEGY THAT I PRESENT TO YOU**
Yuki shoukd not cook that sheet bawx of an rb21 in Japan, he crys at engineers, says his very kind words to them, makes them see God. The sheet bawx gets fixed by RB, the fixed sheet bawx cooks the whole season! Nice aint it?

[cyan saffron]

As soon as you're in the Racing Bulls you should look to where you can leave the Red Bull family.

[sage raft]

the car will take time to fix, if they can even fix it

[tender kayak]

Is it official yet or no

[timber oxide]

Yukipole at Japan GP, you read it here first

[nova vale]

It is

[neat latch]

Just say shit box, saying sheet bawx is fucking cringe

[timber oxide]

Yeah! Wait, Mohamed No!!!!!

gets fined

[nova vale]

Nein

[nova vale]

You destroyed my hopes 💔

Back to Ferrari 🙂

Do you think Ferrari can cook

[sage raft]

Red bull would rather swap multiple drivers until they find one who can drive that car

At least I think so

[nova vale]

Fuck red bull imo

[sage raft]

Definitely not giving much time to lawson while trying to fix the car, that’s for sure

[nova vale]

Just f1 redbull

[cyan saffron]

yeah

Because others must be the issue.

[nova vale]

🥲

[nova vale]

Surelllyyy

[sage raft]

Clearly CLEARLY IT CANNOT BE THE CAR!

[nova vale]

Right guys

Right?

[cyan saffron]

The possibility of Red Bull being the issue if non existent in their eyes.

[cyan saffron]

yeah, absolutely no chance

[nova vale]

If this returns, i’ll be happy

My Ferrari depression might be cured for a week

[cyan saffron]

My Ferrari depression got cured by Komatsu's cooking.🔥

[nova vale]

Komatsu?

[cyan saffron]

yes

[nova vale]

Whos dat

[sage raft]

Haas’s team principal

[cyan saffron]

the GOAT of TPs🔥

[nova vale]

Oh that guy

Okay

[sage raft]

Ocon is the highest ferrari-powered driver in the WDC

just to remind you

like all other f1 pages

[nova vale]

Waht

[cyan saffron]

The man who converted Haas from a clownshow into a serious best of the rest contender in just a single year.

[little dust]

Ikr I've been sent the news. Bro like it's only been two races in

[nova vale]

Lawson is a good driver bro

[cyan saffron]

the GOAT

[sage raft]

DOTD in china (either him or ollie)

Instead kimi got it for… whatever reason

Australia revenge

[cyan saffron]

yeah

So Ollie will get it in Suzuka.

[sage raft]

checks out

[cyan saffron]

Dotd this season comes with 1 race delay.

[sage raft]

at least it’s not like last year when lando got it everytime

[cyan saffron]

Rip to the one who deserves to get it in Abu Dhabi.

[sage raft]

Imagine it’s someone who retires at the end of the year

They get DOTD in 2026 without driving

[cyan saffron]

The fans: Oh sorry man, but we needed to keep the meme going.

[sage raft]

Post-retirement appreciation

LAWSON OUT, TSUNODA IN

The Red Bull board decided yesterday to swap Liam for Yuki for the remainder of the season, starting in Suzuka next race. Liam will drive for VCARB. Full details in my YouTube video later today.

If it's not Sky Sports or from RB itself I'm not going to trust it

However the rumours are so so strong it's probably a high very high possibility

Also the fact they said VCARB means this is bs 😂

It's Racing Bulls

At least learn your team's before you make a post like that 😂😂 Kymillman lol

How do we feel about it

[mint ruin]

did they actually put yuki in the rb seat

i saw a vid on tiktok from espn saying that yuki is in the rb seat

[cobalt crypt]

yuki tsunoda podium trust

[cobalt crypt]

all real mate

[mint ruin]

finally they actually did it

hopefully he performs well

[cobalt crypt]

hope he makes it out alive in max's car

[unborn ore]

Did you factor in Yuki moving to the Red Bull and Lawson in a VBCAR?

[vale drift]

ESPN: Red Bull to replace Liam Lawson with Yuki Tsunoda - reports

[cobalt crypt]

FP1/FP2 wet session?

the weather suggest it's gonna rain on friday suzuka

[buoyant sky]

U can see the pain in his dih 🥀🥀

[humble sequoia]

do not be sleeping on the vcarb boys

i think there’s a really good possibility that both of them will do well

at least one of them will finish in the points

[cobalt crypt]

liam got replaced by yuki

[humble sequoia]

that is not official yet

i’m not gonna believe it until an official source posts it. like redbull, sky sports or the f1 account

and i do really hope it doesn’t happen

that 2nd seat is cursed

[lucid cypress]

if yuki drowns at the main rb seat im gonna cry

[keen pelican]

Lawrence bought RedBull?

[arctic turret]

Prediction for Liam Lawson in Suzuka

[regal needle]

Sorry but Lance is not fit for Red Bull

[rapid horizon]

if liam gets into q2 with the racing bulls and yuki doesn't with the rb they will still think the car isn't a shitbox designed for one specific person

[regal needle]

Red Bull already been discuss about promoting Yuki to the parent Team from this Week

[distant iron]

P10

[azure zealot]

Max Verstappen should honestly go to Aston Martin

[kindred gulch]

Erm

[tribal parcel]

what

[timber orbit]

Although theres a high chance it will

But I don't want Yuki to fail if the 2nd seat really is cursed

He's the best driver in the midfield rn

[rocky timber]

That's Albon

[waxen sail]

Yuki officially got the redbull sest

Seat

[timber orbit]

It's not official for now

Red Bull said they would make an announcement later this week

[waxen sail]

ESPN announced it on their Instagram and oh

[waxen sail]

https://www.instagram.com/share/p/BALTHoFwQs

[timber orbit]

Well I just hope the curse breaks

[waxen sail]

Yup

[timber orbit]

Tsunoda doesn't deserve the 2nd driver curse

I hope he performs well

[waxen sail]

I agree

Imagine bro wins the Japanese grandprix

[timber orbit]

I'd be estatic if he gets a podium at his home race

I'd be so glad that the curse breaks

[placid vigil]

The seat's not cursed, the car is just cosplaying a Sauber if your name isn't Max

I don't hope the worst for Yuki but I can't see him doing well, at most he'll be scraping up points

(still better than Lawson. Something something hydrogen bomb coughing baby)

[waxen sail]

Basically short term of that

[regal needle]

What if?... Sergio Perez join Cadillac F1 Team

[timber orbit]

For some reason I see it and don't see it

[molten copper]

Hey did liam lawson got sacked or not till now

[placid vigil]

Redbull themselves haven't said it, but major sports websites like ESPN are reporting it so yeah probably

[storm wraith]

Don’t know if it’s official yet but it’s a given

[regal needle]

We'll wait next Hour

F1 and Red Bull definitely already announced it

[kind shard]

Why redbull sack Lawson I thought they said they were gonna give him time

[molten copper]

Yeah that's what I am waiting for

[molten copper]

P20 is very embarrassing

[kind shard]

I wonder how does RB select their 2nd driver, do they do a sim test n compare?

[kind shard]

True but they are making fun of themselves now

[molten copper]

They deserve it because they choose wrong driver in first place

Tsunoda should have been their first option

[kind shard]

I hope yuki does well

[kind shard]

It's a hot mess

N why did they choose Lawson in the first place?

[molten copper]

They said he had more potential than tsunoda

[kind shard]

N now they sack him after 2 races 😂

[molten copper]

It is what it is bro

[kind shard]

They are contradicting themselves lmao

Poor guy

Hopefully yuki does well

[molten copper]

I don't know man what we're they thinking

[molten copper]

He should be confirmed before Japanese gp

[serene widget]

He should but I wish he stayed at VCARB

[echo rune]

We shall see

[regal needle]

Next Week, Jonathan Wheatley is officially a Team Principal to Sauber ahead of Suzuka

[molten copper]

Liam fan will you be happy if liam gets replaced

[echo rune]

If he’s still racing yeah any teams car is better to drive than the Redbull 😭😭😭

And at Redbull he has too much pressure on him anyway

[vague pumice]

Do u guys ever sleep ?

[north zenith]

Red Bull is on Ferrari's path of becoming a meme. We're one step away from must be the water.

[golden narwhal]

sometimes i wonder why i go on X.com

[north zenith]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ayPgNyeGH6s

[weary cliff]

i am both extremely happy for Yuki finally getting the RedBull Seat but also Extremely Terrified for him at the same time. Please Yuki Do Good!

[golden narwhal]

ferrari new floor at suzuka 🤑

[neat fern]

Confirmed?

[golden narwhal]

autoracer.it

so perhaps

if not suzuka then bahrain

[neat fern]

They’re bringing an upgrade package to Bahrain

[golden narwhal]

yeah but

i saw a different report that said suzuka

for a floor

[neat fern]

That’s for the floor

[golden narwhal]

yes

[neat fern]

But it’s not confirmed so

[golden narwhal]

so probably bahrain is 1 more package

or they'll do it in 1 go

[neat fern]

They need to start performing good in Japan

TSUNODA AT RED BULL

[frigid remnant]

Yeahhhhhhh
Lawson really got obliterated at his first race

[twin glade]

Wait where is this idea that Yuki will drive for rbr during suzuka coming from? In the case of that, will Lawson temporarily take over the rb car for the weekend, then?

[cinder thicket]

Yuki on RBR going forward, Lawson getting booted to RB

[frigid remnant]

Yep

[twin glade]

Where are these reports coming from? The rbr team themselves?

[sage raft]

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-closing-in-on-liam-lawson-swap-with-yuki-tsunoda-for-japanese-gp/10707118/

motorsport is quite reliable

and it’s not the only outlet reporting this

[sage raft]

RBR hasn’t stated anything on the matter… yet.

An announcement should be coming soon

[twin glade]

Oh my god?????

[snow swan]

Yeah

Will Yuki get a podium

[twin glade]

Thats so, so messy, but I'm v happy for both Yuki for hopefully finally getting that chance that he absolutely deserves

[sage raft]

Either way it’s a Red Bull mgmt disaster

[twin glade]

Can I already check in the "unfortunate flop of the year: Liam l." Prediction then 😬😬😬

[sage raft]

Now they gotta hope yuki performs, otherwise it’ll become even worse of a problem

[frigid remnant]

Yuki might actually open his restaurant

https://tenor.com/view/let-tsunoda-cook-let-yuki-cook-let-him-cook-yuki-tsunoda-cooking-gif-14348711202773700942

Yuki deserves a win

[frigid remnant]

[copper otter]

So many wierd bs

😭

[vernal holly]

https://t.co/7qtuKGl4KN

[prime stream]

https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/cqjd5lg7wvjo

Yeah bro got fucking demoted

Only after 2 races

[random peak]

Liam was definitely not here at all

[fast hawk]

.mute @frigid remnant 1d misleading

[jade mural]

vind muted argotheship for 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Reason: misleading

[woven whale]

I think one need time to adjust like hamilton said it is steep path.

[random peak]

Yes but for the statements he gave he just came out as a flop
Like you need to adapt to the rb car and being the second driver for Max
But still

[woven whale]

Yes In general when driving for big names you cannot behave like that. I agree but still i think they should give the driver time before pressurizing.

redbull has problems with second driver since idk when.

[random peak]

Yea I mean
He’s still a young lad so
I think he will make it up to himself

[random peak]

Ever XD

[woven whale]

Agree.

I even loved the confidence of bearman and antonelli

They way they drive it says all.

[random peak]

I’m very happy for Antonelli
He’s showing a lot

Very good driving

Bearman to

[woven whale]

He seems like a very good driver.

And he is so young and lucky to replace Hamilton.

[random peak]

Yea

I mean he’s technically replacing russel as second driver

[lethal bramble]

How does it affect the points if Yuki and Liam do swap?

[random peak]

Cause russel became first
But yea he is corresponding well

[woven whale]

Yes make sense.

[woven whale]

Thats why there are two different categories individual and constructors. If i am not wrong.

[lethal bramble]

No I meant
Do they keep their points? Or does it reset to 0?

[sage raft]

They keep them

The points they’ve gotten until now don’t change

Both drivers and constructors

[lethal bramble]

Oh constructors don't change, makes sense

[humble sequoia]

real

[lethal bramble]

Because red bull goes to 39 points and racing bulls goes to 0

That would be kinda bad

[woven whale]

The point table remains the same. No change

[fossil bone]

lmao imagine it worked that way and verstappen decided to go to sauber or some shit at the end of the season, and red bull ends with 0 points

[lethal bramble]

Imagine you could have mid season swaps like the NBA and teams could just give a driver a disgustingly large contract to jump ship

[south plover]

Racing bull both is unlucky

[lethal bramble]

Padding their constructor stats

[fossil bone]

mid season swaps do exist they just dont usually involve multiple teams

more firing a driver for a reserve driver

[random peak]

The constructors not changing makes sense yea

[versed tinsel]

LIAM GOT PROMOTED TO RACING BULLS

YUKI GOT DEMOTED TO RED BULL

WHAT IS THIS AH

[dense tinsel]

thats how I see it

[versed tinsel]

exactly

pls replace max verstappen with isack hadjar

let max cook in vcarb

[dense tinsel]

😂

hadjar is crashing that Rb in free practice if he gets put in that shit box.

[versed tinsel]

YEAH LMAO

[gloomy wharf]

Max is carrying Red Bull on his car’s rear wing.

If he went to Aston to replace Stroll, Red Bull Racing will either have to reform or collapse.

[dense tinsel]

RB would transform back into the energy drink.

[gloomy wharf]

Yeah.

[versed tinsel]

ong, his doctor deserves good respect

[golden narwhal]

red bull becomes pre-vettel red bull

[whole fossil]

Wait soo tsunoda to rb is finally done ????

[random peak]

Not confirmed

[whole fossil]

Espn , kymilman many news outlets have reported on this

😭 i hope they dont discard tsunoda if he cant give some good races in that shit box

[random peak]

Yuki is too good to be discarded

[torn sparrow]

yes

it's wonderful

[safe hare]

real

[whole fossil]

Yuki opening his hotel soon it seems

[crimson cosmos]

is it official now yuki going Red bull?

[remote knoll]

still no official announcement

but alot of reliable sources are saying it's set to happen

[remote knoll]

it truly is a demotion

[uncut juniper]

best of luck to yuki he needs it

[sharp veldt]

lot of reliable sources confirmed, no official confirmation from red bull

if real expected within the week

[fleet aspen]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/cqjd5lg7wvjo

LIAM LAWSON DROPPED BY REDBULL, YUKI CONFIRMED MAIN DRIVER FOR JAPAN GRAND PRIX 🇯🇵

[plucky condor]

LET'S FUCKING GOOO

War is over 🙏

[quaint parrot]

LOL

[small basin]

everyone else confirmed but F1 officials and RB themselves

[quaint parrot]

Gotta love it

A win is a win

[sharp veldt]

pretty much

also apparently reporting has it liam found out through social media that he's being promoted to racing bulls

[plucky condor]

It's called predictions I AM SURE THEY'LL MAKE A STATEMENT SOON

[quaint parrot]

Max to vcarb??!?!?!?

[sage raft]

It’s expected to be before the end of the week, according to motorsport.com

[quaint parrot]

Wha tthe hlel

[sharp veldt]

yes

[small basin]

I would assume only by next week

[sharp veldt]

vcarb: lawson, verstappen
red bull: tsunoda, hadjar

[quaint parrot]

Sugar free rb

[dawn thistle]

Being dropped before his best track is crazy

[sharp veldt]

reserves: iwasa, marko, and lindblad (pending SL)

[small basin]

they have their sweet moments tho for a sugar free drink company. their chemistry is sweet

[dawn thistle]

Especially considering if we count 2023 and 2024 liam is 7-6 vs yuki

[sharp veldt]

my guess is they want to boost liam's confidence since p20 three times in a row and all the public scrutiny isn't doing much good

[sage raft]

yeah tbf this morning i was furiously refreshing red bull socials so i get the hype

[sharp veldt]

with yuki they're not renewing him anyways they just dgaf

[sage raft]

motorsport says the announcement will come before the end of the week, let’s see

[quaint parrot]

rb already got traumatized

[sharp veldt]

if liam outperforms yuki in the vcarb tho it's not a driver issue but a car issue

[quaint parrot]

scarred for life

[sharp veldt]

and that'll just prove that

[quaint parrot]

Well well well

[sharp veldt]

so idk what rbr is planning is liam outperforms yuki in the vcarb

[quaint parrot]

@storm echo Will you outperform Yuki next week?

[sharp veldt]

on pace checo was probably the one closest to max, but even he had issues with the car and lost faith in the car completely by halfway through the season

and this season max's made it pretty apparently that this car is hard to drive

[sharp veldt]

and he's said the same thing in 2024

[small basin]

it's pretty evident that the RB is a shitbox atp

it's a midfield car or even a backbencher at this rate

[sharp veldt]

plus it's KNOWN that the car had issues as of 2023 that checo addressed that horner's publicly admitted they dismissed bc of the run max went on with the RB19

[sharp veldt]

yeah, the vcarb is the faster car

the fact that both vcarbs were so close to max in quali says a lot

[small basin]

max overperfoming so much that RB is so blinded by the issues lmao

[plucky condor]

Fr tho Yuki finally being chosen!?!? 😨🥺🥺

[sharp veldt]

no fr horner deadass said smth along the lines of checo presented us with these issues but we didn't investigate much since max was winning so much

but max could outdrive pretty much anything

[sage raft]

Red bull might’ve just thrown politics out of the window after realizing how critical the 2nd seat problem is

[sharp veldt]

it's this

lawson isn't working out and they don't want to burn him out

[small basin]

yea

[small basin]

lawson getting the charles treatment squared

[sharp veldt]

it's pretty much they don't have other options:

• lawson isn't performing and they don't want to burn him out. so to save his face (and horner and marko), we'll let him rebound in VCARB.
• hadjar has only had two races and he was only in the seat because lindblad isn't available.
• lindblad doesn't have a super license. red bull confirmed they petitioned for him to get one early to become a reserve for the main team.
• iwasa wasn't touching that red bull car no matter what.
• martí has a slow start to every series he's been in and i don't think he's high on red bull's list for F1 recruits.
• colapinto is not going to be loaned out by alpine since briatore wants to have him available when doohan is ultimately sacked.
• ricciardo is done with f1 entirely.

[plucky condor]

Keyword; might 💀 tho it is a good effort afterall max can't race forever

[sharp veldt]

they also wouldn't bring checo back anyways

[small basin]

just like how danny aint coming back 😔

[pearl tartan]

is yuki to redbull confirmed?

[sharp veldt]

they renewed yuki at vcarb for one year to prevent him from getting other offers, but i doubt they're retaining him for 2026

[sage raft]

If Yuki performs, good for red bull and perhaps not great for lawson but hopefully he can still prove himself in another team.
If Yuki doesn’t perform, bad for red bull and yuki, as they finally have a reason to kick him out like they wanted to do earlier.

[sharp veldt]

many reliable sources are reporting it to be imminent (including erik van haren) and announcement is expected by end of the week. red bull hasn't officially confirmed

[small basin]

high chance they drop him. Honda ain't building engines for em anymore

[pearl tartan]

yeah yuki's career is over

[sharp veldt]

i doubt they'll keep iwasa as well

[sage raft]

Also red bull would return to a rookie meat grinder if yuki fails…

[sharp veldt]

as much as i don't like yuki to be in that red bull, this is his only chance to drive for a top team

and top is kind of loose bc vcarb is better than rbr

[pearl tartan]

I mean, I think he would end his career this season anyway, even if he stayed in vcarb

[small basin]

tru

[pearl tartan]

might aswell try his luck in redbull

[sharp veldt]

he's out of a seat in 2026. that's kind of a gimme

[pearl tartan]

yea

[snow swan]

Cadillac

[pearl tartan]

I would still go to rbr even if I would likely fail there if i was yuki

[sharp veldt]

i'm still pissed that red bull activated a clause to retain him and force him to re-sign for one year bc other teams expressed interested in him for '25 onwards

[snow swan]

He would do good there

[pearl tartan]

doesn't cadillac only want american drivers or something

[snow swan]

Why

[pearl tartan]

Idk I heard that somewhere

[small basin]

i think for the first few years yea

[sharp veldt]

checo is rumored to be in connection with a team on the grid

[snow swan]

There are hardly any good American drivers

[snow swan]

Yes

[pearl tartan]

exactly

[sharp veldt]

the only good ones don't have SLs

e.g., herta

[pearl tartan]

maybe they could get someone from indycar

[snow swan]

Pat o ward or Alex palou

[sharp veldt]

r there any americans in indy rn with SLs

[sharp veldt]

i don't think either have a SL

[pearl tartan]

does palou have a sl?

[sharp veldt]

not sure but o'ward does not

[pearl tartan]

he doesn't

[snow swan]

Pat o ward is reserve driver for McLaren

[sharp veldt]

o'ward was a former red bull junior but was dropped bc he ultimately couldn't get a SL

[pearl tartan]

I don't think o ward would do good in f1

[sharp veldt]

bc of how FIA counted his indy lights points

[snow swan]

Why

[sharp veldt]

also this

[snow swan]

Oh yeah

[pearl tartan]

I feel like after driving a indycar for years, he would struggle to adapt to F1

[snow swan]

I’d argue rb should get tsunoda and ricciardo

A good pairing

[pearl tartan]

rbr or vcarb

[sharp veldt]

i think red bull burnt any bridges they have with daniel

[coarse obsidian]

RBR is getting tired of the second seat not producing points.

[snow swan]

Cadillac

I meant cadillac

[sharp veldt]

he doesn't want to come back though

[pearl tartan]

maybe they could bring daniel back as a last case scenario but I doubt it

[sharp veldt]

someone asked daniel within the last few months if he's open to coming back to f1 and he said "hell no"

[sage raft]

checo to caddy

[pearl tartan]

he did good in redbull but that was a long time ago

[pearl tartan]

I hope

checo is a good driver

[snow swan]

Checo and Yuki

[pearl tartan]

he deserves to be in f1

[sharp veldt]

diego rodriguez said checo is expected to come back

[snow swan]

Yuki is doing good

[sharp veldt]

prob caddy since he's linked to caddy

i wouldn't be surprised if bottas came back

at some point

[sharp veldt]

he could've been p5 in the wdc if vcarb didn't ferrari in australia and self-destruct in china

[pearl tartan]

could have, but he isn't

[sharp veldt]

yep

unfortunately

[pearl tartan]

it doesnt matter if it couldve happened if it didnt

[sharp veldt]

yeah

[pearl tartan]

racing is not just skill, you need luck too

[sharp veldt]

but he's had a good season so far

[pearl tartan]

yea

[sharp veldt]

regardless of the vcarb shenanigans

[pearl tartan]

ngl the person who has suprised me the most is stroll

[sharp veldt]

stroll is having a great season start

[pearl tartan]

hes consistently top 10 pace and he hasnt fucked it into the wall

[sharp veldt]

fernando's issues are not rly his fault though

considering in china his brakes caught on fire

[pearl tartan]

meh china was unlucky

australia was just a small mistake

but ended his race

[sharp veldt]

at least in china it was unlucky but australia was a small error

[pearl tartan]

yea

[sharp veldt]

the aston looked competitiveish in china so i think fernando would've probably been near lance

[pearl tartan]

yea for sure

ngl stroll is not as bad as people think

hes shown he can be quick

but hes just really inconsistent

[sharp veldt]

yeah this is his issue

he has a chill vibe tho

[sharp veldt]

the music 😭

the only team god can't save rn is probably ferrari

[pearl tartan]

fr

both their drivers are behind a haas in wdc 💔

[sharp veldt]

Australia: I don't even want to know what that was
China: Gets both drivers disqualified for two different reasons

[pearl tartan]

Idk how they manage to fuck up more every single season

[sharp veldt]

we had canada 2024 too 😭

[pearl tartan]

yea

[sharp veldt]

they've already passed that

[pearl tartan]

thats what happens when a team is run by italians

[sharp veldt]

at least in australia vcarb went down with them

poor isack tho in australia

the only good thing that isack got out of australia was a selfie with lewis and he was adopted by lewis's dad

now his teammate says AD21 was his favorite race 💀

[distant raven]

Waitt yuki is replacing lawson?!?

[sage raft]

Red Bull is yet to confirm, but many reliable sources have reported the swap as true.

[arctic turret]

Tsunoda first race in Red Bull be like:
Red Bull: You are P20 Yuki, great job

[rapid horizon]

redbull are so oblivious to their own downfall

[earnest vessel]

F1 24 has a
Mandartory update
You all know what it is for

[keen pelican]

I wonder if Max can only drive a RedBull car that’s designed for him specifically only? This RedBull 2nd seat will be interesting if Yuki can’t handle the car either.

[tight urchin]

He’s been the faster driver when the car was more neutral, thus the car trending towards him over time

[valid socket]

Is it true?! Yuki going to the second rb seat?

[sage raft]

Red bull is yet to confirm, but the swap is likely to be announced soon

[chilly parcel]

It’s definitely happening at this point T

[chilly parcel]

And Max has been complaining about car being hard to drive for years. Word is he defended Checo because he knew the car wasn’t drivable by mere mortals

[snow swan]

Yuki can do it

I’d argue max is top 10 all time

Even top 5

[chilly parcel]

Definitely top 5 possibly just GOAT

[tight urchin]

yeah hes just built different

[chilly parcel]

Yuki historically also preferred strong front end and handles rear instability quite well. The question is if well enough for the RB

[remote knoll]

how do you know this

[chilly parcel]

But I’d say he’s one of the best candidates on the grid to be Number 2 in that RBR

[chilly parcel]

By watching how he drives…?

[remote knoll]

why do you have to add a question mark im just asking 💀

I'm not sure what characteristics you look for or what you look for in general to determine one's driving style

[quartz galleon]

Just found that out 😅

[snow swan]

What the fuck happened to Riccardo

[random peak]

When life gives u Liam’s… you make yuki’s

[coarse obsidian]

[coarse obsidian]

It's AI, nothings perfect like Liam's driving.

[random peak]

Impossible to ai generate that type of skills

[coarse obsidian]

Or never had the skills?! 🤔

[random peak]

Idk
He’s not there f sure

[summer harbor]

Red bull caught so many bodies 💔

if yuki moves to redbull he's done

[woven rapids]

the red bull meatgrinder

[snow swan]

Wow this shit is dead

[radiant scarab]

Probably because japanese gp isn't for like 12 more days

[halcyon kraken]

at this point, it would be cheaper to clone verstappen and make him the 2nd driver

[vernal pecan]

Most likely yuki will not get points this race but imagine if he subverts all expectations and gets pole

What yall do

I belive

In the heart of the Japanese

[stone creek]

i see a p7 start

p6-8 finish

[chilly parcel]

Any point at this point would be a sigh of relief

[regal needle]

Not yet, But we'll hear in a Few Days if it's True

[rancid gull]

my only concern is if yuki joins the seat and does bad like the rest, i dont see red bull goiing thru the struggles of changing the seat 3 times in a season, so then yuki stuck in that seat making him look worse then he is and he wont have seat next year

[scenic quail]

well its a make or break for yuki he honestly should of gotten the seat to begin with.

Bringing lawson into that seat was odd from redbull.

he should of atleast done a year in a junior team before moving into that seat.

[lethal bramble]

Sunday, 6th April.

You just got done watching the Japanese grand prix.
the podium:
P1 Lando Norris.
P2 Oscar Piastri.
P3 Yuki Tsunoda.

P6 Max Verstappen.

What are you doing in this situation

[rocky timber]

I will sell everything I own and become a Yuki groupie

[stone creek]

drink the entire night and party until 2026

[timber spire]

Yuki is japanese

[stone creek]

grass is green

[timber spire]

And me is RADANDANDANDANDAN

[lethal bramble]

I PRAY Yuki gets atleast one overtake on Max

[woven condor]

throwing a party

[regal needle]

Charles just posted in

He said his disqualification from Chinese Grand Prix for being underweight "was really tough"

Last weekend was really tough. We’ve got to reset and work hard to turn the situation around in Japan and I’m sure we will.

[thin berry]

Aw

[rain storm]

At this point it would be cheaper to race with one car, and use all the resources to develop it

[buoyant star]

at the moment, no rain is excepted on the race

although its not accurate

[regal needle]

90% No Rain

[buoyant star]

so i just wait a few days to it be more accurate

[still forge]

You know things are bad when he's not posting for long after a GP

Funny thing is that things can indeed get worse

[regal needle]

Definitely won't get worse than that

When he said the disqualification "was tough", then it's gonna be a Big Reset to figure out what's next

[craggy rivet]

1 week left💔

[lean iron]

time to wake up too early again

[rocky timber]

2am

[remote knoll]

12am

bit better than china

[wooden brook]

I didn’t even go to sleep until like 3:30 am last night

[remote knoll]

but ixm still gonna fall asleep

[rocky timber]

I have to see how Yuki does if he does go to Redbull

[late jewel]

#memes-no-ai-will-delete-😡 message 💀💀😭😭

[plush current]

he's already in the seat

[stark badger]

It's not confirmed yet 😔

[plush current]

dropping a driver after 2 races is completely insane idfc how you slice it

[stark badger]

True

[late jewel]

Not really tbh

They know Lawson won’t score any points so they’re taking their chances with tsunoda

It can’t get any worse for them

So from the team pov it makes a lot of sense

[ripe lion]

Then was did I just see ig on the news?

[plush current]

nah that team is a chaotic mess. 3 drivers over the course of 1 season is crazy

[dusky root]

theyre also getting paid extra for it

[plush current]

they didn't even wait to see how Lawson performed on a track he's ACTUALLY DRIVEN ON

[dusky root]

RB has given up on that second car

[plush current]

imagine if Max left them lol

[dense tinsel]

back to redbull energy drinks

[late jewel]

It’s crazy but it’s the best move for them unfortunately

Sucks for Yuki

This might be his last year in the sport because of this

[plush current]

they were so confident in Lawson just a couple months ago

[wooden brook]

Lawson isn’t the problem they’re just cursed

[plush current]

now they'll have to answer why they didn't just pick Yuki in the first place

[late jewel]

Now they’ll realize the car is the problem

And probably have to rebuild it completely for next year

Well I mean they will anyways considering the new regs

[plush current]

we all owe Checo an apology tbh

i was clowning him as much as anyone and thought he was just making excuses for being washed

[late jewel]

I owe him a massive apology

I hated on him so much

[wooden brook]

Checo will get his revenge by scoring points for Cadillac in their first season

[wooden brook]

First ballot HOFer

yeah. No

F1 doesn’t really have a “hall of fame”

[plush current]

also it's a testament to Max's raw skill that he's able to drive a car that sensitive and unstable

because that is theoretically what makes a car quicker, it's just that you are supposed to account for the fact that an actual person has to drive it

[supple carbon]

if the car wasnt fully built around him then id agree with u

[plush current]

it's not really built around him, so to speak

a lot of drivers, especially the younger ones, like a more sensitive car

Max is just at the complete extreme

[supple carbon]

i disagree, its not just the sensitivity, its also the rear, front

all main drivers have a certain way and usually get the car built 75% aorund them

with max i beleive it to be 100%

i mean lewis had merc built around him too

[compact fog]

I think

Ferrari is gonna cook next gp

[supple carbon]

i donno

i think its quiet a catch up to mclaren

[spare glacier]

It's all but officially confirmed, even the BBC are reporting lol and they're super cautious

[neat fern]

Not really?

[spare glacier]

look how bearman performed on a track he's never driven on... and he has less experience than lawson. I agree they should have given him suzuka at least tho

[supple carbon]

not as much as red bull with max but essentially yes

[spare glacier]

yh but thats always the case to some extent with the lead driver. max has it much more

[supple carbon]

yeah 100% true

[neat fern]

Maybe in the bottas era

But Max is much more extreme

[supple carbon]

yep

[neat fern]

So hard for any second driver to drive that car

Only getting harder

[supple carbon]

and his driving style, which is such a sensitive front creates such an unbalance on the rear

so thats hwy no one can drive the rb

[neat fern]

Perez could till it got over hand

[supple carbon]

put max in a ferrari and it will be completely diff to lewis in a red bull

[supple carbon]

yeah perez did well to be honest

[neat fern]

I don’t think Lewis could drive that red Bull tbh maybe be decent but still not good enough

[supple carbon]

same with max in a ferrari or any other car

thats not suited to him

[neat fern]

And don’t think Max could drive any other car that good either

[neat fern]

Exactly

[supple carbon]

exactly my point

lets see how yuki does

im kinda excited to see how he does

but lawson is good

imo

[neat fern]

Yuki Said in testing that the car suited his driving style but i have no idea

[supple carbon]

didnt know that

[spare glacier]

ppl are going to turn this into a bring back ricciardo debate i js know it 😭

[supple carbon]

would be hilarious if he out quali max

[neat fern]

Abu Dhabi test

[supple carbon]

ah yeah ur right, yuki did well

[spare glacier]

https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/tsunoda-red-bull-f1-test-debut-verstappen-2025-pitch/

[snow swan]

Well Checo and Daniel are the only drivers to do anything with Max as their teammate

[supple carbon]

i can see yuki being wdc one day

[neat fern]

I don’t but haven’t seen him in a top team

[supple carbon]

hes got potential

i think he has something that liam doesnt

[spare glacier]

daniel lit got outperformed by yuki AND liam tho, ofc experience counts in the red bull but not more so than pace

[supple carbon]

true

need opmeer in f1 tbh

[craggy zenith]

fuck it

at this point bring back Seb

[supple carbon]

yes!!!

bring back seb!

[spare glacier]

i beg

[supple carbon]

also thats why i dont see max leaving red bull

[neat fern]

He would be kinda shit right now haven’t driven for ages

[craggy zenith]

don't care

bring him back to us

[neat fern]

If he leaves rb is going down the drain

[supple carbon]

100%

[snow swan]

Max will be leaving Red Bull if things keep getting worse and worse

[supple carbon]

i dont see it

[neat fern]

26 will prolly be even worse for redbull

[supple carbon]

cos the team he goes to wont have the same front and rear the way he likes it

[lavish ore]

if 26 isn't better i think he might actually leave

[supple carbon]

so he wont be as quick

[snow swan]

Well McLaren Brown sees it happening

[lavish ore]

he's still a good driver, he'll be fast even if the car isn't perfectly suited to him

[snow swan]

Like Red Bull is shit show which is why people are leaving

[neat fern]

Max was like 6th in china for more than half the race

[lavish ore]

and we all know any team would drop anyone if they got a text message from max

[neat fern]

It’s not looking good

[supple carbon]

yeah he will be but not as fast as what we see now

[lavish ore]

probably faster considering the current car is a slow pile of shit

a fast car is a fast car

[neat fern]

But the redbull is fast for max

[supple carbon]

the competition will be high cos the car wont be built around him

he might not be as successful

[neat fern]

But the redbull is shit

[lavish ore]

fast is an overstatement here, he's dragging it up to places it shouldn't be

[supple carbon]

yeah thats true

[lavish ore]

i think he'll do better in a faster car not built around him than a slower car built around him

[neat fern]

Because it’s 100% suited to him

[supple carbon]

hes a great driver thats for sure

[snow swan]

Max is the only driver that’s been very consistent with having a shit car tbh

[neat fern]

For example if the merc for example would be as fast he wouldn’t be as fast in it

[supple carbon]

i mean maybe ur right but his team mate may do better then him

[lavish ore]

what does this even mean

the car is slow because it's suited to him

?

[supple carbon]

no

[neat fern]

Not what I said

[supple carbon]

its suited to him

[snow swan]

And Max pushes his car to the absolute limit

[neat fern]

It’s slow but suited to him

[supple carbon]

meaning the front and rear and sensitivity is to his liking

which is unique

[neat fern]

So he can push it to the limit

[supple carbon]

exactly

[lavish ore]

and that limit is clearly not good enough

is my entire point

put him in the mclaren or mercedes and he will get better results

[supple carbon]

put max in a merc right now and rusell will defo challenge him

[neat fern]

It’s not but he can still do it because it’s suited to him 100^

[snow swan]

That limit is pushing it to the point shit breaks lol

[supple carbon]

best way to put it

[neat fern]

100%

[lavish ore]

because he'll have to get used to a new car sure, but once he gets accustomed to it there will be no contest

[neat fern]

I’m not so sure

[lavish ore]

i don't think max is only fast when he drives a red bull

[supple carbon]

ecxactly, but the car will not be built around him meaning it wont be snappy on the front which he likes so he cannot perform to his best

[lavish ore]

he might not be at his best but i believe it'll be better than his best with the current red bull

[supple carbon]

he will be faster no doubt

but we are not talking about faster

we are talking about winning againts his team mate

[neat fern]

My point is take a car that is not suited to him which is as fast as the redbull and he won’t be able to push it like the redbull

[supple carbon]

100%%%%

[lavish ore]

pretty sure it was just about being faster, at least that was my point

[lavish ore]

yeah that much should be clear

[snow swan]

Which speaking about that Daniel and Checo are the only drivers to win at least 4 wins over Max

[supple carbon]

im talking about if max leaves rb and goes to merc for example

and team mate is russell

[snow swan]

If he has a car to his liking then he will be winning and dominating

[neat fern]

Which he won’t

[neat fern]

Not in the current merc

[supple carbon]

exactgly!!!

he wont

[snow swan]

Yeah but here’s the thing Max is on a different level than every driver on the grid like he pushed a tractor car to championship last year

[supple carbon]

unless he satays at red bull

thats why i dont see him leavingf red bull

[neat fern]

I’m not sure max would be as fast as Lando in the McLaren

[lavish ore]

i don't see him staying at a team that can't give him a fast car

[supple carbon]

agreed

[supple carbon]

i do

[neat fern]

They’re still a top team

[lavish ore]

ignoring daddy issues, he's not going to stay at a team just because they make the car to his liking. It doesn't matter if he can't win with it

[lavish ore]

we'll see about that lol

[neat fern]

Lmao

[lavish ore]

they're a top team at the moment because max is still there. If he decides to leave they're in the shit unless they can make a new car overnight

[snow swan]

Well Max could leave Red Bull and F1 if nothing improves throughout this year and he could jump into IMSA

[neat fern]

Redbulls problem because they did a car which max can only drive

[lavish ore]

yeah i have a feeling he'll go into endurance once he's done with f1

but with the baby who knows

[snow swan]

I mean Max has already tested out imsa car and loved it

[lavish ore]

yes, and that's going to remain a problem for whoever comes in after max, unless they have the early notice and can completely change the car in one year to suit them

[snow swan]

Max said if they want to keep him in F1, they need to go back to V10 engine

[neat fern]

I don’t think they care about max lol

[snow swan]

well there’s been talks about going back to V10 in 2028 I believe

[neat fern]

MBS said it

So can’t believe him

[snow swan]

It was actually 2030 and Max isn’t staying in F1 until 2030

[lavish ore]

push it back a little more and mini max will be able to take his place

[neat fern]

Maybe not

[neat latch]

Pov: 2026

I want to see some of that Mclaren vs Mercedes action

[rocky timber]

Kimi gets the dub

[neat latch]

He has a higher ceiling

And he's not far off Russell

He's also younger

Than Russell and both mclaren drivers

So yeah his potential is huge

[mint sequoia]

yukiiiii tsunoda

[vernal pecan]

If yuki gets pole I'm going to drink milk pepsi

An entire cup of it

[charred mortar]

milk pepsi?

[wind marsh]

red bull 1,2

[old widget]

[late jewel]

#memes-no-ai-will-delete-😡 message 💀💀💀😭😭😭

[stone flame]

ah hell nah how did you even make the connection 😭

[random peak]

Yuki news confirmed?

[lucid gale]

giant speculation

[limber gate]

I literally only want to see the swap so Yuki becomes a backmarker in the RB seat and the Lawson slander stops

[lucid gale]

....

[versed palm]

if lawson finished before yuki in the racing bull i am going to laugh at helmut marko lmao

i don't want yuki to fail tho. but that red bull car scares me

[lucid gale]

oh yeah fs

bro the vcarb might be faster than the rbr car rn

its just max verstappen doing max verstappen things with it

[limber gate]

I love Yuki so I don't wanna see him fail either

Realistically I won't want the switch to happen at all

It's logisitcally stupid regardless

[versed palm]

they should've just given yuki the seat before the winter stop tbh

like it would've made more sense to give it to him anyway and now they just look stupid if they switch out lawson after 2 races

[limber gate]

like you made the worst decision in placing someone with only like a quarter season of F1 experience, and was alright at best, and he does bad for 2 races and you do the surprised pikachu face

[versed palm]

also way to ruin your young talent's confidence

red bull literally has racing bulls as a team to let young drivers gain experience in F1 so they can move onto the main team, but then they end up putting someone without even a full season into the main team's seat

in a car that's incredibly difficult to drive if you're not max verstappen

what was the point of letting yuki drive in the AT for 3 years then

[limber gate]

*allegedly difficult to drive if you're not max verstappen

[versed palm]

the decision has truly baffled me

[limber gate]

mfers are still coping

I mean idk at this point just leave Lawson in the seat and hope he adjusts

[versed palm]

i mean drivers have been in that seat that are not bad per se

like albon is not a bad driver

i think he said in an interview that car feels as if you put your mouse dpi at the highest sensitivity setting and then try to control your mouse

[limber gate]

Yeah it was something like that

I definitely believe the car is just difficult to drive

[versed palm]

but it's not a great car either

[limber gate]

I'm not too big into the technical aspects of F1 and teh cars and stuff but I did read somewhere that Yuki prefers oversteery cars so maybe he'll have some success just from taht

[versed palm]

the reason that car won the WDC last year was bc max was driving it

[lucid gale]

but only max can do that

[versed palm]

considering max also prefers oversteer it might work

THOUGHTS & PRAYERS

[lucid gale]

like his ancestors who invented drifting thru insane purposeful oversteer

[versed palm]

yuki drifting that thing thru suzuka in his ancestor's spirits

initial d montage

[lucid gale]

oh yeah

also max verstappen vs seb vettel

[plush current]

it's theoretically the fastest, or if every other component is the best it can be then a super sensitive, oversteer-y car is the fastest

but they have to tone it down because drivers can't handle a car that sensitive

Max pushes it REALLY far, but even he can't handle a car this extreme as well as he'd like

[restive pike]

I think the best car is one that is fast while being a car that the driver can confidently control, and not one where they second-guess their next move.

[plush current]

that's why i say theoretically fastest. a human still has to drive it

the Red Bull's window is so tiny that any minor slip and you lose time

[limber gate]

Yeah I'm hoping

[plush current]

Yuki will probably get closer but i think he'll struggle with it too

[limber gate]

Like I said I really like Yuki and i'm a fan of his antics, I don't see him ever becoming a champion or anything but he definitely has talent

Like he's comparable with Leclerc in my mind of drivers with obvious talent that I want to see have success

[limber gate]

yeah i'm fully anticipating that

[plush current]

especially as Suzuka is literally this weekend and he's definitely barely had any practice

[halcyon kraken]

have they made an official announcement that yuki is promoted?

[tough spade]

no

[halcyon kraken]

ok

[rocky timber]

No

[gentle verge]

they gotta do a bunch of photography and promo stuff first probably

[late jewel]

They already have a cool graphic

lemme find it

[gentle verge]

lmao

but they gonna need a lot more for the actual f1 tv broadcast and the actual race track

[late jewel]

nah just throw him in the seat

im sure theyll manage

[gentle verge]

if it was for one race then yeah lol

[late jewel]

may as well not even bother announcing it

just surprise the fans when the second red bull driver is suddenly japanese

I wouldn't get your hopes too high tbh

They're putting him in a worse car in all fairness

#memes-no-ai-will-delete-😡 message No way 😭 😭

[stone creek]

i can't take this man

please yuki

[oblique junco]

yuki will break the curse

of the second seat

[lucid gale]

the red bull really is a raging and almost untamable bull/machine

[full karma]

fr i hope he does

i have hope in him

[formal jolt]

kylian mbappe to racing bulls

[wooden kettle]

true.

yeah i hope yuki succeeds man

[radiant terrace]

i dont think he will honestly

not because he isnt good but because red bull has an undrivable car

even verstappen hates the drivability of the car

[wooden kettle]

yeah

idk man

i believe tho

[raven cliff]

if we believe hard enough then yuki will succeed trust me

[fast hawk]

If Yuki focuses on himself instead of trying to emulate max, he'll do well

[old widget]

@daring palm good luck this weekend

[radiant terrace]

if yuki doesnt do well then hopefully red bull realizes that their car is completely undrivable and work on fixing that

otherwise they will literally go from a top team to a backmarker when verstappen leaves the team

[gentle verge]

im pretty certain they already know it is and have known for a long time but I bet you they're just hoping to find someone who can handle the car somewhat so they don't have to face that truth. Perez was a Band-Aid fix for a while until he wasn't, and Yuki might be, but might not be

now why they put an inexperienced rookie in that seat is beyond me..

[radiant terrace]

i mean lawson was pretty good in the VCARB

not top team level good but certainly good enough to deserve a seat for 2025

[wooden kettle]

yes but he couldve had a seat at vcarb instead of being rookie crushed in the main seat

[gentle verge]

he was okay considering he only did 13 grand prix

[radiant terrace]

that second red bull seat is probably the worst seat to have in f1

[humble sequoia]

redbull has a midfield car at best

[radiant terrace]

i mean kind of

[humble sequoia]

verstappen is the only reason they’re towards the front

[radiant terrace]

if they have someone who can handle it (verstappen) then it is a top tier car but it's also basically impossible to handle and the only reasons max can do it is because he is insanely good and because he has tons of experience with the car

otherwise tho the car is actually a shit car

[humble sequoia]

exactly

[gentle verge]

max would prob be able to drag a sauber to podium lmao

[shy peak]

i feel like, the only reason why max is still fighting in the front is bc of his driving style. bc that car is uncontrollably

[humble sequoia]

yeah

the past rb drivers have said the car is specifically built for him and his driving style

and other drivers can’t really match that

[radiant terrace]

well no because even max hates how the car drives now

[stiff bough]

i dont quite think albon or gasly said the car is built for max verbatim

[radiant terrace]

he's just the only one who can cope with it because it happens to be closer to his driving style than almost anyone else's

[shy peak]

yeah kinda, in the end yes def. but max sort of shares the same driving style as MC. if remember correctly its a lot of grip on the front.. so he kinda slides thru the corner and constantly making tiny correction

so i think that that's the only reason why he can still kinda work the car now

[humble sequoia]

yeah

[chilly parcel]

Yuki is going to get into Q3 then finish p7. That’s my prediction.

[late remnant]

oh hi minoru

[late remnant]

more unhinged than the average Ferrari fan prediction

[reef scarab]

Please have Yuki do well in RB

[echo rune]

I so hope Liam gets put back in vcarb and not just dropped completely 👹

[little dust]

I hope so too

[radiant terrace]

oh hi earl

i thought u died on discord

[radiant terrace]

liam is probably going to do a lot better in the vcarb than in the red bull

[echo rune]

100% we saw how he did last year

However there are also rumours they will put colapinto in the 2nd vcarb seat

[radiant terrace]

im pretty sure colapinto is already in contract with alpine as a reserve driver tho

[daring berry]

Alpine blocked it I think

[echo rune]

Omg yay

[golden narwhal]

thinking about that colapinto retweet

[echo rune]

What was it

[golden narwhal]

cant show it here

lol

[echo rune]

Dm?

[golden narwhal]

i can tell you its hot tho

[echo rune]

Bahahahaha

[golden narwhal]

probably can find a screenshot somewhere

[echo rune]

Oh yes yes I found it 😭😭

Hahahah

[rocky timber]

I don't have socials :/

[split glacier]

Why

[rocky timber]

No need

I guess discord and Reddit is social

Waste of time

[calm hare]

Max Verstappen is winning in Suzuka

[radiant scarab]

Hear hear!

[stoic sentinel]

smh

[late remnant]

is that why you banned me from velocita rev

[nova vale]

Lawson, was the car shit or just you

[late remnant]

couldn't consistently get the car into its window

anyways now thanks to my vcarb promotion I stand a chance of scoring points

[nova vale]

Cook Tsunoda

Please

Show RB that their car is just shit

[arctic turret]

damn good luck with Doohan for the rest of the season Alpine

[regal needle]

Jackie maybe still had Time to make himself go into Points

But knowing him, Alpine might find a way

[daring berry]

Colapinto could probably still go to that Alpine seat just not the Vcarb seat

[grim egret]

I swear james vowles signing to williams with alex albon must be the team of the century

these guys are performing miracles with a shoestring budget

dunking teams with mega money aston martin ferrari alpine

[fickle forum]

my only hope is that he atleast gets himself into Q2 or very close, so he can show he's better while also showing the car is ass

because even a leclerc/hamilton/norris/piastri would probably all fall out of points or score very very low with that rb21

[regal needle]

Racing Bulls has Great Performance so far with Isack onboard

Isack may ready to have his Contract extended if he shows Great Performance further

[proven leaf]

Definitely an extension so far

He”s been great

[regal needle]

True

[snow swan]

The RB21 is shit and Yuki has recorded points in 9 races out of the last 26 and career wise he has recorded points in 26 out of 92 races. Yuki isn’t as a good as people think he

[golden narwhal]

so what they do if yuki is shit

[snow swan]

Well Yuki is no better than Lawson and Yuki won’t be helping Max that’s for sure

In 5 years of being in F1 he has yet to hit 100 career points and he can do that if records 6 points in Japan which he has placed P13, P12 and P10 in the last 3 races at Japan

[polar star]

I can't believe it

[frail scaffold]

It’s official

[polar star]

2 races and they sack liam

[polar star]

Ik but they're crazy

[meager ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-the-office-steve-carell-oh-my-god-its-happening-gif-17270692

[snow swan]

Max can’t believe it either and he didn’t want Lawson to be demoted

[meager ridge]

Me after the announcement

[grim egret]

helmuth must be fired then

[frail scaffold]

I agree I feel they should have let Liam at least Japan since he knows the circuit

But it is what it is

[grim egret]

there is no reason why he should continue

[grim egret]

2 races is absolutly brutal

pulled the trigger way way too fast

[polar star]

What we doin if yuki is p20

[grim egret]

exactly

thats why you dont pull the trigger too quick

RB is like a house of cards standing on one card that is max

[snow swan]

If he places P20 then they need to bring back Checo or Daniel who are capable of driving a Red Bull and recording points and helping Max 😂

[grim egret]

if he leaves its the end for RB for sure

[polar star]

Honestly

[snow swan]

I 100% see Max leaving Red Bull tho

[polar star]

Same, he ain't puttin up with that car

[snow swan]

Yeah plus with the rule changes and etc I think he will be leaving F1 and going into IMSA

[polar star]

They should just bring checo back

[snow swan]

The other thing I saw that McLaren Zak Brown thinks Max will be leaving Red Bull before this year ends

[polar star]

If he leaves ferrari and mclaren are full

[coarse python]

chat

[polar star]

So idk

[snow swan]

And Max has been complaining about his car since the beginning of last year before the first race

Other drivers know Yuki is rapid but non drivers for some reason give Yuki no respect. Is it because he’s short?
