Last 2 years

5 races in 2023 and 6 last year

Mick Schumacher and Nikita mazepin were rookies on Haas under team principal Guenther Steiner and now they're all out of f1

#

Would you consider bearman a rookie?

wet sequoia
#

Yes and no

#

Bearman has had 3 GP’s AND a sprint, more then 4 other new drivers to the grid

#

He’s had time and experience to adjust to everything a F1 car has that a F2 car doesn’t

golden narwhal
#

he has barely half a full season

#

not to mention all his cars are pretty tame until now

wet sequoia
#

Still very lacking in experience in most tracks but there are differences between Lawson, differences between Bearman and differences again to the other 4 rookies

golden narwhal
#

i dont think anyone can drive the evil red bull

#

that car is evil

#

and i would like someone to prove me wrong

radiant scarab
#

It's a tough car to drive and even then he's doing alright

#

It's why he gets his own theme song

#

No one better, no one greater

golden narwhal
#

he himself said its wack

radiant scarab
#

Yup

#

But he's still driving it

#

Got a podium to start the season

#

Will probably get another at Suzuka

golden narwhal
#

generational talent only p2 says a lot

#

im pretty sure he's not "driving" driving

radiant scarab
#

Yes it says the car is a nightmare, but he's still doing it

#

Yeah he's not winning 19 races this year but should still be contending for his 5th

#

I wonder how lewis would fare in the rb

golden narwhal
#

yeah but i think i should specify driving 100% of the car at all times
what i have seen that car goes over the limit way too easily

radiant scarab
#

Probably p7 his favorite

radiant scarab
#

But he's the goat for still keeping them in the points

golden narwhal
#

i've seen people say bring back ricciardo

#

hell no

radiant scarab
#

God no

golden narwhal
#

his career would be in the mud

radiant scarab
#

That man couldn't handle a vcarb he's not handling this rb

golden narwhal
#

i know why the rb is forever cursed since ric left

#

when ric was there, there were no 1-2 dynamic

radiant scarab
#

Unfortunately not everyone has the longevity of a lewis or a Fernando, Seb and Daniel are proof

golden narwhal
#

they just ballin

#

so car development is from 2 sides

#

ever since he left, they depended on max for feedback

wet sequoia
#

The VCARB was the 3rd worst car in the grid with no upgrades working

golden narwhal
#

gasly couldnt get his feedback in

wet sequoia
#

There is only so much you can do with an absolute shitter

golden narwhal
#

albon barely got that full season

#

and when perez came it was too far down the spiral

radiant scarab

#

dude had to fight for equal contract terms to Max and they ended up losing him anyway

wet sequoia

Renault has been willmao for years, McLaren there were flashed but that car was top of the midfield at best

Let's just hope Liam shows why he was briefly in that seat

#

Albonesque resurgence please

#

Slow and steady

if yuki does shit it’s all the cars fault if he does great then lawsons a shitter

If yuki does well Helmut is a genius and horner is a wholesome loyal husband

If he doesn't they're all fired

#

Imagine red bull just rebrands to Ford F1 for 2026

#

Clean slate

crimson monolith
#

kick red bull out of every sport

#

they've been so toxic in every sport they joined

radiant scarab
#

I'd say sports before red bull was more fun but I can't remember a time where sports didn't have red bull

wet sequoia
#

Before 03-05

#

All the energy drink companies were sponsoring any extreme sports they could pay into

#

Red Bull came out on top in the end with whoever they sponsored winning

#

I remember Rockstar having a lot in motocross

#

Then they started doing the Red Bull air racing and after that no other energy company had a chance

radiant scarab
#

Isn't motocross monster-dominated?

crimson monolith
#

but i feel like formula one is the only sport where red bull is actually there to win instead of just marketing

radiant scarab
#

When I think monster I think motocross and ufc

radiant scarab
#

It's a little sick

crimson monolith
#

yeah

radiant scarab
#

They should have stuck to sponsoring grand prixes

#

Having two teams when you don't even make cars is a little crazy

crimson monolith
#

they pour a lot of money into formula one though

raven wagon
#

At least they won multiple championships in the past decade, unlike a certain red team who kept hiring world champions but cant win one willmao

crimson monolith
#

wouldnt be surprised if they make a loss in the formula one department costs

lenovo ferrari sponsorship would go crazy

swap williams and ferrari title sponsors

"Scuderia Ferrari Atlassian"

"HP Williams Racing"

we already had hp williams back in the day

but i dont think Atlassian would fit ferrari

# fossil bone To red bull?

Santander was sponsoring mclaren back in the days before switching over to ferrari when Alonso switched since alonso was spanish, santander was a spanish bank and the second driver, Felipe Massa was from brazil, a country in which Santander was looking to expand

i didnt like the ups sponsor at all though

as much as i dislike lawson in general, bro did not deserve to get instant demotion

Not only did rb unintentionally destroyed both drivers' dreams, they distorted their rep so horribly this year

#

Lando is fine, he proved that in Melbourne

#

his teammate happened to outperform him

#

the question is, can Oscar be more consistant and carry this fight across the entire year

#

what cost him taking P3 last year was exactly that, after Baku his performance fell off

#

that type of fall off will cost you in a world championship

#

If he can do that, regardless of if Ferrari/Merc/RB can catch up, we will have a title fight

#

if not, well than Lando wins

golden narwhal

i hope piastri wins

so he can just shove it up lando's

Engineers are not there to make the car comfortable lol

But Red Bull are doing it wrong

golden narwhal

actually they are

Because the car is not even fast

would a driver want a car they dont like to drive

I mean priority is speed

why would hamilton leave if the mercedes had potential
they dont listen to him and make the car for him anymore

neat latch

I'd say it's a balance, if you go too much for one the end result won't be good

#

If you go for comfortability congratulations your car is nice to drive but it's slow af

hexed path
#

i think the main problem is the environment rahter then the car itself, yes its incredibly hard to drive, but redbull (and especally) marko aren't treating their drivers in the right way, as for example mercedes is

neat latch

If you go for speed congratulations you made the rb21

golden narwhal

if your main priority is speed, then who is driving it

i dont even think they have priorities

they will work on how to maximize man and machine

golden narwhal

amazing

storm granite
#

right

#

such a simple answer

golden narwhal
#

so with your logic

#

would liam drive the RB21 well enough to have kept that seat

surreal meteor
#

that is not a driver issue

golden narwhal
#

it is

surreal meteor
#

it fucking isn’t

golden narwhal
#

why is max driving it to p4 then

storm granite
#

the car is built around him

surreal meteor
#

because Max isn’t relevant lmao

storm granite
#

thats why

golden narwhal
#

what??

#

is max not a driver

surreal meteor
#

there’s a clear difference between red bull’s first car and their second

storm granite
#

what

golden narwhal
candid salmon
storm granite
#

albon is wrong

surreal meteor
#

they are not treated the same and haven’t been for at least 8 years

storm granite
#

i am right.

surreal meteor
#

it’s not about ‘building the car for max’ but that doesn’t mean there aren’t cultural issues at RBR when it comes to helping the ‘second driver’

candid salmon
#

he's ragebaiting guys

#

stop giving him attention

golden narwhal
surreal meteor
#

gestures at the fucking everything

golden narwhal
#

WHERE

#

ANSWER

#

everything what??

surreal meteor
#

if you can’t see that they treat them differently how is any of your analysis useful??

storm granite
#

they love max more than the other one

golden narwhal
#

you're avoiding the question mate

surreal meteor
#

like you’re literally ignoring the most blatantly obvious fact about the situation

surreal meteor
golden narwhal
#

so you believe that the last 8 years since max verstappen arrived at red bull that "second" car isnt what it is

surreal meteor
#

You can’t reasonably see them out 5 different drivers in the car, have them all fail the same way, and still think it’s a driver issue…

golden narwhal
#

they havent failed??

surreal meteor
#

Lmao

golden narwhal
#

in what way that they "failed"

surreal meteor
#

they got sacked

neat fern
surreal meteor
#

so clearly someone thinks they failed

golden narwhal
#

failed to deliver what they were supposed to do absolutely because their management is crap
im talking about the car

surreal meteor
#

well Ricciardo left but sure

golden narwhal
#

the car performance

candid salmon
#

Liam should have never gotten the seat to begin with, but sacking him now was the right choice. If this continued his career would be 100% over

golden narwhal
#

how it is built to be fast but undrivable

surreal meteor
#

what on earth are you talking about then?

storm granite
#

its built to be fast for a certain driving style

surreal meteor
#

So doing that adds exactly zero clarity

candid salmon
#

guys ffs he's ragebaiting, stop responding to him

storm granite
#

we all know max would lose to norris in a equal car.

lavish ore

lmaoo

storm granite

what bait

surreal meteor
golden narwhal
candid salmon
golden narwhal
#

it is a driver issue

surreal meteor
#

It’s a cultural issue.

candid salmon
#

but fine be my guest

storm granite
#

no the car is built around max

#

thats the issue

golden narwhal
#

you give people 0 fucking time to drive the shit ofc they'll be ass

surreal meteor
storm granite
#

perez had loads of time

#

he was ass

surreal meteor
#

yeah that’s a Perez issue though

#

he just never should’ve been in the seat

golden narwhal
#

he wasnt ass

storm granite
#

yes he was

#

🤣

#

if he wasnt ass he wouldnt have been sacked

#

AM I WRONG

golden narwhal
#

cause recency bias

lavish ore
#

are we not seeing literally right now that the problem was never checo

#

the car had issues all the way back in 2023

storm granite
#

the car is built around max

#

thats the issue

surreal meteor
#

Red Bull would’ve been far better off keeping Albon in the car the entire time Perez was in it because Albon has always, clearly, had a much higher ceiling that Checo was ever going to have

surreal meteor
small dirge
golden narwhal
#

you look at the 2024 campaign and said he's ass the 4 years hs been there

storm granite
surreal meteor
#

it’s just not true dude

storm granite
surreal meteor
#

F1 teams don’t build cars around drivers, they build cars to be as fast as possible

storm granite
surreal meteor
#

Like setups, sure, that’s driver in the loop, but not the car itself

storm granite
#

fast as possible FOR MAX

surreal meteor
#

nope

neat fern
golden narwhal
surreal meteor
#

they do not

golden narwhal
#

why is he complaining now?

neat fern
storm granite
#

max

#

and hes whining now

golden narwhal
#

he says its slow

#

i see that its ass to drive

surreal meteor
#

red bull have cultural issues getting performance out of the ‘second driver’, it’s not an engineering issue and it’s not a driver issue

golden narwhal
#

that means its ass for him to be fast in it

surreal meteor
#

like okay if it were true you build the car for the better driver, Merc would’ve been building their cars for Lewis, yeah? during the height of their success

and Bottas never, ever, struggled as much as anyone has being Max’s teammate in the last five 5 years

storm granite
#

bottas is good driver thats why

surreal meteor
#

Bottas is a pretty good driver but so is Albon, so is Gasly, so is Ricciardo, hell, Perez is worse but not that much worse

#

Bottas would struggle at RBR too because it’s never been a driver issue

surreal meteor
#

yeah?

neat fern
#

Did Albon or gasly?

he wasnt better than max

compare race wins.

and u see max won much more

but he wasnt better than max

whats ur point

the sad thing about Japan is despite being a big motorsport country

#

they lack a lot of success in F1

#

with the exception of Honda as an engine manufacturer

#

in 75 years, not a single Japanese driver has won a race

#

Really? I'm surprised

craggy zenith
#

Yup

supple bolt
#

They're a big car manufacturing country and can't get one successful driver

craggy zenith

And only 3 podiums

#

Suzuki in Suzuka in 1990, Sato at Indy in 2004 and Kobayashi at Suzuka again in 2012

craggy zenith
#

There is a boatload of talent throughout motorsport

#

But they've never had a driver win in F1 or WRC

Their more invested in baseball and sends world-class players to play in the MLB

And if they somehow have a better car than mclaren and Mercedes over the winter they will get out developed instantly lol

Fernando won't be around for long, and 2028 is when newey's cars should be in full swing, can't expect him to have a wcc caliber car in 2026

Is it true that Verstappen dislikes Tsunoda?

No Idea

#

He did said on the Day Yuki promoted to Red Bull, He wasn't Happy to the Team to demote Liam back to Racing Bulls

#

But it's just Part of the Racing Series after all

chilly parcel
#

Yuki sounded soooo relaxed

#

He did a press event in Japan and he was just like whatever.

regal needle
#

Yuki sure will show Max how he can perform later in Red Bull

#

But of course, This Week is finally Race Week

#

It's the Triple Header!

chilly parcel
#

I think Yuki has been working for that seat for so long he’s just relieved he finally got it, whatever happens afterwards

regal needle
#

With yesterday's or Today's Ramadan is concluded, Bahrain next week is officially ready to Host the Fourth Round

chilly parcel
#

He’s smart enough to know Honda will get him a seat somewhere, pushing Alonso out if need be.

Maybe Yuki may become a Ford Driver

Let's get ready later

Yuki isn’t a midfielder in terms of skill

He can win with a competitive car

he’s certainly not amongst the top talents

Sauber will not be a Swiss Team anymore as they are acquired by Audi and move to Germany next Year

stiff bough
#

most of the grid is pretty rapid too

#

but there’s nothing about yuki in particular, that I can see, that separates him from everyone else

chilly parcel
#

Right now I think it’s max in a league of his own

#

Then Yuki in a tier below with Lando, Russel, Lewis (let’s face it, he’s old), Leclerc. Then like half a tier below with Sainz, Piastri and maybe a few others

#

I know that’s like half of the grid

stiff bough
#

so he’s in the midfielder tier

chilly parcel
#

But the point is Yuki is fast enough he’s a wdc contender if he is in a top team

regal needle
#

I agree

hushed olive

Lets hope yuki doesnt struggle with that car like Pérez last year and lawson recently

stiff bough
#

Most of the grid is fast enough to be title contenders with the right team and right car, that’s how drivers like Jenson won

chilly parcel
#

… in the tier below the tier where only Max exists

The red bull is made for purely max's drive style

chilly parcel

Aston Martin needs that.

stiff bough

#

Word is Red Bull kept pushing the car based on data against Max’s protests

#

Come to think of it, that may have put constraints on Newey and made him leave

#

Too much data and not enough intuition and artistry

regal needle

Max did claim Red Bull is far behind McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari right now

hushed olive
#

Rb21 is just Rb20 2.0 but now without the dominant start

regal needle
#

Like they can't do catching now

chilly parcel
#

The problem is it sounds like they went in a development deadend. To proceed they may need to revert a lot before they could even start catching up. There is no way that can happen with limited wind tunnel time before next regs kick in

#

They may just be stuck trying to squeeze a bit more performance out and hope for lightning in a bottle

regal needle
#

That would take sometimes to catch McLaren and Mercedes

#

Like so far, McLaren dominated the First 2 Race

chilly parcel
#

It’s going to take lightning in a bottle

hushed olive

Mclaren is defo the fastest
Second fastest would be merc

And then ferrari

#

That's Right

I agree with McL but I think still unclear with Merc and Ferrari

#

If McLaren can dominated the Triple Header this Week, We'll see

chilly parcel
#

I mean they’ve looked that way since last year but they keep finding ways to not get that McL 1-2 even when they really should

#

You know they are just that much faster though when even Max doesn’t bother contesting

regal needle
hushed olive
#

Not suprised if red bull only gets like 4 wins this season all verstappen

#

I Will laugh so hard if Yuki is out in q1 and lawson gets somehow to q3

worthy bane

I think yuki will do alright for redbull points wise, lets be honest the second seat in RB is always playing for pride with max but i definitely don't doubt he'll do well

I feel like Yuki is setting himself up to fail with these kinds of statements

That's Delusional

He'll probably can try

unless the car has a clear advantage at Suzuka, even he will struggle
