[snow swan]

he officialy said that?

damm

[ivory quail]

Lawson was too much of an arrogant guy towards Perez and didnt delivered what he said he was gonna do

[ivory quail]

bro just got caught in the fraud list tbh

[toxic horizon]

Mr. "I don't believe in racing styles"

[weary cedar]

Pérez haters being silenced is utter satisfaction

[upper glade]

He knows he needs to hawk the tuah or else they will yee his haww back to vcarb or even worse

[wooden kettle]

im saying

[rapid horizon]

lawson thought the bigger the number the better the score

[reef isle]

Tsunoda really cooked

[snow swan]

btw guys no one talking abt the fact what happend to sainz? the new car dosent suit is driving style well alex is constantly outpacing him.

[wooden kettle]

Yhawki tuahnoda

[upper glade]

yhawki tuahnoda

[old vector]

lmao

[ivory quail]

i honestly thought Perez was horrible until Lawson drove that Red Bull

[harsh oriole]

I know it's FP1 but Yuki did amazing

[nimble canopy]

Gasly is not having a good start man

[ivory quail]

fr

[reef isle]

Aint perez in talks of coming back with caddalic?

[wooden kettle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limpid scaffold]

He had it coming his big talk immediately got inflated after australia

[old vector]

yuki

[weary cedar]

One bad season is enough to make you forget how much good he did

[austere hawk]

YUKI WDC

[wooden kettle]

idk sainz does seem to have some trouble, but... idk

[snow swan]

talking abt, the previous qualifying and race results.

[weary cedar]

Yes

[reef isle]

Bro was crazy in indi ngl

[wooden kettle]

ahhhh. tbh i didnt pay attention to sainz

[weary cedar]

Would be kinda tuff

[ivory quail]

the Brazilian broadcasters were talking about Lawson's arrogance and how much that costed him

[reef isle]

copium

[tawdry viper]

good sesh

[reef isle]

w fp1

[old vector]

yuki will be the champion this season

[austere hawk]

REAL

[reef isle]

💀 🙏

[steep cape]

I never believed Perez was a bad driver, hes the mexican minister of defense
I DO believe however Yuki would do a better job, he deserved a chance and should've been put in the damn car first

[weary cedar]

Copium how bro 😭😭🙏 I said it would be tuff if it did happen

[formal falcon]

real real and real

[rapid horizon]

i hope he actually manages to get a podium

[reef isle]

woops had to write hopium

[wooden kettle]

champion... mmm.
but i think he's going well. absolute cinema. he should place high.

[snow swan]

perez at his home munching kitkat's be thinking its not me its the car.

[rapid horizon]

insane ask but it would be awesome

[reef isle]

We hope 🗣️

[austere hawk]

double podium

PODIUM HOME RACE

[lament spindle]

Yuki wins at Mexico

[ivory quail]

i mean... his 2021 to mid 2023 "Red Bull stint" were pretty much what Ricciardo did before he entered the fraud watch so yeah, he was pretty decent

[lament spindle]

that’s what i want

[reef isle]

"A FERRARI 1-2 AND THE PRODIGY STRIKES 3RD ON HIS FIRST RACE, DEFEATING THE 4TIME WORLD CHAMPION"

[cobalt crypt]

fp1 finished yet?

[arctic acorn]

Just got home how’s Yuki doing?

[minor zodiac]

He is going to place pole. No this is not copium!

[keen pelican]

It’s clear so far, it was never the car but the driver 🫠

[rapid horizon]

i mean yuki already knows how the car performs and he's been preparing for it so he should be able to drive well

[snow swan]

yes it did.

[queen orbit]

p6, 1/10th behind max 🐐

[ivory quail]

P6 1 tenth from Verstappen

[reef isle]

0.107s behidn max

[wooden kettle]

honestly. i'd go insane if he did.

[weary cedar]

"Where is Lawson"
"Out of Red Bull"
"Karma"

[arctic acorn]

Oh hell yeah let’s go 🔥

[cobalt crypt]

max p5?

[radiant scarab]

Can't lie, I stopped reading after Ferrari 1-2
Just, yes

[ivory quail]

Tsunoda only needed one Free Practice to show that he was the right option

[ivory quail]

yep

[wooden kettle]

red bull moment

[cobalt crypt]

top 4?

[snow swan]

iirc he was being cocky to perez right when he was in vcarb?

[limpid scaffold]

Seriously they love jinxing themselves and wonder why its always next year

[reef isle]

lando rus lec ham

[weary cedar]

yes

[ivory quail]

i think both Red Bulls used 3 sets of tyres which i think it was pretty dumb imo

[ivory quail]

yeah

[rustic lotus]

Hoping piastri makes a comeback on Sunday

[ivory quail]

he even got a little "rivarly" with Alonso

[wooden kettle]

tbh that moment is what made me start liking liam

[keen pelican]

People that say it’s the car and not the driver, doesn’t know anything about racing lol

[cold jewel]

Yuki cooked in fp1 man

[weary cedar]

lawson WHO ? 😭😭🙏

[ivory quail]

and started all his cockyness with "Im not here to make friends"

[acoustic bramble]

what happened w him

[ivory quail]

and then it went from this to "Im not here"

[radiant scarab]

Let's be real, he's p6
Fp1 means very little in the grand scheme of things

[snow swan]

💀

[limpid scaffold]

are we fighting air rn no one said its the car in this chat 😭

[wooden kettle]

he's got another 2 free practices lol

[cold jewel]

He's on P17 ig in fp1

[rapid horizon]

I missed this fp but I will def watch fp2

[acoustic bramble]

WHAT.

[ivory quail]

i mean... Lawson was way slower than Verstappen even on FP1s

[little dust]

Guys I'm excited for the weekend

[night yacht]

.

[snow swan]

sandbagging.

[keen pelican]

In general 🙄

[wooden kettle]

no, he's p15

[late remnant]

it's fp1 chill

[cold jewel]

Yeh piastry

[cold jewel]

Hmm

[little dust]

Oh

[weary cedar]

Wouldn't be surprised if Hadjar owns Lawson at this pace

[rustic lotus]

He came 15th in the practice run but that’s because he was testing but I feel that’s not the real Oscar I know

[radiant scarab]

No doubt but we as viewers have no clue what the car setups are, what the goals of practice are for each team, etc
I get it, we're fans and we're excited but fp1 is not the same for the team as it is for us

[little dust]

Oh I see

[ivory quail]

it would be the peak Karma

[neat latch]

Definitely testing some stuff

[wooden kettle]

exactly

[rustic lotus]

I know

[acoustic bramble]

it's not the real him 🙏 cope

[lament spindle]

neither would i considering Hadjar has more raw race pace than Liam; kinda like Yuki

[keen pelican]

Yuki only needed 1 practice session to prove to the entire Bulls organization, he should’ve been there from the start 😤

[snow swan]

oscar piastri must get a oscar award in the art of sandbagging tbh.

[limpid scaffold]

He has no reason to sandbag during fp1 in round 3

[radiant scarab]

Let's hope he only goes up from here and doesn't fall flat on Saturday and Sunday (when it actually matters)

[weary cedar]

Yuki redemption arc

[limpid scaffold]

Its just setup changes

[ivory quail]

he was pretty close from Yuki during the 2 races they had together

[neat latch]

I know it's fp1 but it's already a pretty good start from yuki

[snow swan]

helmut marko 🤡

[keen pelican]

Pretty sure he won’t

[late remnant]

liam was also pretty close to yuki in 2024

[ivory quail]

but lets remember that Lawson had beaten Tsunoda on F3 guys

[wooden kettle]

TRUE. i am a HELMUT MARCO HATER

[lament spindle]

yep that’s why i think Isack will probably get the one up on Liam especially since Yuki still taught him some stuff before he left

[weary cedar]

Pretty sure he was only ahead in 1 of those F3 seasons

[limpid scaffold]

But F3!!
lawson screams as he realizes hes in f1 now and he cant keep up the fraud

[weary cedar]

Yuki beat him in the rest

[daring hazel]

How to test if someone is an F1 fan: ask their opinion on Helmut Marko

[late remnant]

lawson is allergic to junior series championships

[wooden kettle]

lol

[rapid horizon]

cant spell helmut without L😤😤

[radiant scarab]

I don't hate Helmut Marko, he is a product of his times, can't judge an 80 year old on today's standards
But you can fire him on today's standards lol

[weary cedar]

HeWmut Marko

[ivory quail]

the moment he said Bortoleto was a B Driver i was fuming

[late remnant]

and he didn't teach liam anything in 2024?

[wooden kettle]

you didnt see me use the wrong emoji.

[weary cedar]

Bro saw a fraud and booted bro 😭😭😭🙏

[neat latch]

Helmut is a relic, but not in the way you think

[limpid scaffold]

cant spell helmut without helm

[neat latch]

Dinosaur looking ahh

[lament spindle]

they were fighting for the seat … i don’t think u would want to teach the guy u are currently in a shootout style test something that can be used against u

[weary cedar]

Fossil

[tender spoke]

Why does red bull insist on keeping helmut around anyway

[wooden kettle]

wait aw look at these driver radios

[neat latch]

Bros older than my grandma's grandma

[lament spindle]

also even if yuki wanted to teach liam something, liam wouldn’t really accept it

[daring hazel]

Yeah actually, I find it really odd that Red Bull is supposed to be the "Rebel" and "Young" team right? But they're led by dinosaurs

[ivory quail]

the cockyness is real

[lament spindle]

if it came from max then sure it’s different

[echo rune]

Yuki and Liam are friends I’m sure he would accept it 😭

[limpid scaffold]

Dont forget helmut scouted vettel and verstappen

[lament spindle]

they were friends, idk bout now tho

[late remnant]

cro they were friends 😭

also tbf

[weary cedar]

Didn't they both insult each other in interviews? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[queen orbit]

fr

[ivory quail]

bro had a success rate lower than 5%

[storm wraith]

I know it’s just practice but Liam didn’t get higher than p15 in the RB in any practice the last two GPs. Yuki is in 6th… but Liam did place 13th in the Racing Bulls

[candid salmon]

Maybe Gasly, Perez, Albon and Lawson were the problem, not the car

[neat latch]

He should scout a retirement home

[late remnant]

yuki probably thought he wasn't fighting for the seat

[glass merlin]

Pretty sure he said they are still friends

[limpid scaffold]

8 wdcs btw

[wooden kettle]

ooh do u kow where i can find that

[ivory quail]

how many drivers he scouted?

[echo rune]

I’d assume they are still friends

[limpid scaffold]

you guys r hating on helmut so much you forget his achievements

[weary cedar]

Idk bro. 6 race wins and countless podiums. Doesn't sound like a problem to me.

[queen orbit]

800 drivers

[ivory quail]

8 WDCs from 2 drivers out of like 800 drivers

[late remnant]

because

1. checo's contract was still active
2. he was clear number 1 in vcarb

[glass merlin]

https://www.velocitynews.co.nz/yuki-tsunoda-opens-up-on-friendship-with-liam-lawson-after-controversial-red-bull-shake-up/

[golden narwhal]

ferrari

guh 2026 i guess

[limpid scaffold]

you’re acting like 8 wdcs is nothing

[lament spindle]

no Yuki has stated that he know he was gunning for that seat since Liam wasn’t under a contract for 2025 and Yuki wanted that seat from Checo

[candid salmon]

I've seen enough. Give Yuki a 5-year contract 🥶

[wooden kettle]

thanks much i will read this later

[ivory quail]

it is alot

[weary cedar]

liam lawson being taught the error of his ways and becoming a more soft, respectful and sincere driver in 4k ultra hd ❤️

[limpid scaffold]

im ready to defend red bull at all costs

[ivory quail]

but not when you look back at how many drivers Red Bull had

[limpid scaffold]

Yeah and one man brought that into the team

[steep cape]

Markos an idiot and I will die on this hill

[limpid scaffold]

You cant deny the fact he can see talent

[neat latch]

His biggest achievement will be giving his place to someone else

[late remnant]

everyone thought checo was staying thanks to red bull being red bull(and it changed thanks to red bull being red bull), doesn't matter if yuki wanted the seat

[steep cape]

Monkeys and typewriters my brother

[weary cedar]

I mean... He chose Lawson for the Red Bull seat, how did that go?

[lavish glen]

😗

[late remnant]

yes, but unlike seb or max, the car wasn't initially built around their teammate

[weary cedar]

But I don't blame him either way. He showed all the signs: Close to Yuki, arrogant and fierce on the racetrack, "winner" mentality.

[late remnant]

so

[weary cedar]

Not built around Max. Max can drive his way around it. He hates it.

[steep cape]

Except he lacked Yukis experience

[outer ruin]

bro theres a high chance of rain for the race

[stone sundial]

Can anyone tell me of what happened in fp1

[languid light]

"The car is just, the way it is" -Alex Albon

[snow swan]

we can say that its build around max's driving style.

[echo rune]

It’s still built towards max’s style/preferences

[limpid scaffold]

yeah sure he rushed liam in but its not like liam is a baboon hes pretty good too

[radiant scarab]

The fact is many people see the same talent he does, I don't think his job is that hard lol
Toto Wolff notoriously almost signed max until he didn't, everyone on the paddock probably knew max was talented
Marko's Ls outweigh his Ws, at least recently of you take a look at the 2nd rb seat after Danny left

[cold jewel]

That's true

[radiant scarab]

Oh my god why am I yapping so much

[steep cape]

Nah but you're spitting facts

[late remnant]

don't worry it's nothing compared to me when the name jim clark is mentioned

[candid salmon]

Haas really pulled up with a special livery just to go P18/P19

[limpid scaffold]

yeah but im just tired of people bringing up his L’s more than his achievements

[languid light]

it's a wheelie bin, what do you expect from haas?

[limpid scaffold]

Its like why not bring up both

[late remnant]

their car is bipolar

[weary cedar]

Wow you really hurt the 4 Haas fans around the world

[late remnant]

i swear

[hollow escarp]

ples take a second to water nico 🙏 thank you goodbye

[raven wagon]

And yet even Max is struggling with it

[radiant scarab]

Fair

[cinder isle]

i just woke up how did practice go

[hollow escarp]

yuki is slaying

[languid light]

tsunoda is cooking

[late remnant]

• good in pst
• last in australia
• double points in china
• uhhh maybe last again in japan(we will see)

[cinder isle]

so what im hearing is yuki is taming the second redbull seat

[limpid scaffold]

and red bull shareholders aren’t stupid they’d probably ask for helmut to leave if he was really useless

[weary cedar]

But Max doesn't like the way the car handles. It's not built around him. Building a car around a driver and a driver being skilled enough to drive around the problems is different.

[limpid scaffold]

Hes a pr risk but they keep him because he is useful

[weary cedar]

Max would go ALOT faster if it wasnt for the problems.

[echo rune]

I mean you can struggle with something but when it’s still built towards your style/preference you’re always gonna be quicker in it. And someone that has never driven a car with that style will always be slower

[cyan saffron]

As Komatsu said, the issue they experienced in Melbourne isn't fixed yet, so yes, without the fix to this issues the car was insane in China.

[radiant scarab]

Maybe, I can't pretend to know how that company's inner politics work to be honest

[late remnant]

false

[steep cape]

Hardly

[late remnant]

understeer is faster if you know what you're doing

[radiant scarab]

He's been the brightest spot on that seat since 2023 so sure

[limpid scaffold]

Im not gonna argue with you because you act like you know more than people who actually work in f1

[steep cape]

Monkey meet typewriter, hes vouched for how many drivers that couldnt drive the car? And two drivers he swore against drove it best in the last 6 years

Hey bro

[teal matrix]

enjoyers**

[mighty parcel]

You like Lance too?

[teal matrix]

who doesn't??????

[limpid scaffold]

The high speed corners r where max makes most time I think its due to yuki not fully understanding the car yet but having experience to keep up

[mighty parcel]

RPM but we don't talk about that weirdo 💔

[limpid scaffold]

Also confidence plays a big role

[teal matrix]

Stroll domination would never bore fans

[candid salmon]

1 hour experience in a Red Bull btw

[sharp veldt]

yeah, i think it's rn yuki's test sim correlation to irl performance

[celest mauve]

YUKI domination would never bore fans

[radiant scarab]

I enjoy stroll for all the wrong reasons (the memes)

[coarse oak]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO YUKI IS MATCHING WITH VERSTAPPEN

[teal matrix]

😔

[coarse oak]

LETS GO YUKI

[limpid scaffold]

Definitely

[sharp veldt]

it's also imo hard to extrapolate abt red bull pace rn since yuki himself said he's not pushing

[teal matrix]

it's fpqq

[sharp veldt]

he said the car was "interesting" in places

[teal matrix]

fp1

pipe down

[celest mauve]

nah we need to overhype this

[sharp veldt]

i'm assuming in fp2 and fp3 they're going to do long runs since they only ran softs in fp1

[limpid scaffold]

The hype 😭 i cant wait

[teal matrix]

chat can someone send t1he board I can't watch rn

[sharp veldt]

yuki had pretty consistent lap times up until the end

[queen orbit]

IKRRR

[steep cape]

Which is quite rare, honestly
It sounds like that doesn't usually happen due to reasonable things you can't add into a simulator 1:1
Its really impressive

[celest mauve]

otherwise how will we be disappointed on Sunday

[steep cape]

TYPE SHIT

Why get into F1 if you're not tryna be disappointed every weekend?

[candid salmon]

this just goes to show how bad Liam actually was

[sharp veldt]

yeah

cro it's fp1

[sharp veldt]

MV1 v. YT22 laps

[limpid scaffold]

Thats really good he can manage tyres to keep up those times but he said he wasnt pushing so

Yet again

[echo rune]

It’s fp1 💀💀💀💀

[queen orbit]

*how good yuki is

[limpid scaffold]

I can’t really judge

[sharp veldt]

he was complaining abt the rear toward the end

[teal matrix]

cro is wild

[limpid scaffold]

Which isn’t a surprise

[sharp veldt]

it's fp1 so it's not fair to make conclusions

[late remnant]

mhm

[fast fable]

Cro. 💀

[limpid scaffold]

We kinda expected that from the car

[raven wagon]

Albon performed better than Gasly in the same Redbull car, does that mean it showed how bad Pierre was?

[late remnant]

can't believe liam is still catching strays even after his demotion

like honestly just chill

[sharp veldt]

i don't think lawson is a bad driver but that car has its issues

[steep cape]

True, however there are things you can gather from an FP1
Like how they're responding to the car via radios and track times in comparison to their teammates
So sounds like Yuki has a good understanding of the car so far, Lawson is most likely just down on himself rn so he isnt pushing his car very hard

[stiff plaza]

Yo, yuki is very close to max. Also, liam improved a little, still not better than hadjar though

[late remnant]

the guy's been through rough shit enough as it is

[teal matrix]

sCaddylineup

[sharp veldt]

i noticed also on yuki's radios he was being very clear and precise at every moment about what was going on in the car.

[celest mauve]

When you improve after your “demotion”

[late remnant]

how would you feel driving for the f1 team of your dreams only to have that dream crushed after 2 races because the car is too difficult to drive

[grave robin]

dude even in fp1 he stood dead last💀

[sharp veldt]

which was different from lawson

[steep cape]

I think it stems from his "Theres no such thing as racing styles" mentality, not being able to put yourself into different styles results in him being a 1 trick pony, hes good in that VCarb car but not so much the RB car

[cyan saffron]

for real

[teal matrix]

what he said:

[sharp veldt]

yeah. liam came into red bull saying he just has to adapt.

[echo rune]

In the hardest to drive car?????

[celest mauve]

yuki also has years more experience which helps

[cyan saffron]

It's like the 2nd Red Bull seat comes automatically with a hate train that never stops.

[steep cape]

Yes! I loved how direct and straight forward he was, he knew what he felt in the car and completely understood it
Its so refreshing for that second rb seat 😭

[sharp veldt]

i agree

[ruby hedge]

Aston Martin's rookie looks very promising

[grave robin]

if yuki can drive that car in the pace of max in practise then i think liam just had a skill issue

[sharp veldt]

i loved woody as a race engineer even from when he was with checo

[late remnant]

"demote liam!" demote liam"
"LETS GO LIAM GOT DEMOTED RAHHHHH"
"fuck liam though cmon he doesnt deserve vcarb either"
"LETS GO HES BACK TO F2"
"liam is still ass he doesnt deserve f2 at all"

[stiff plaza]

That's really a mad bull. I thought it would be hard for yuki to control it since it's his first time driving it officially, he kept his promises.

[weary cedar]

The same people now supporting him said that he would be destroyed by De Vries in 2023

He outpaced him.

The same people also said he would be outpaced by Ricciardo

He wasn't

Why wasn't this man hired sooner?

[steep cape]

Exactly, and if Max, who the car is tailored towards, is saying its hard to drive then its gotta be a nightmare for anyone that's just trying to 'adapt'
Given more time, I'm sure he would've come around and figured it out so maybe some more testing or practices in the car will do him some good
But Max needs a teammate right now to help fight for points

[echo rune]

It’s very hard to be fast in a very hard to drive car with next to no experience in that car. Yuki likes a pointy car so instantly he has an advantage and Yuki also has a whole lot more experience 😭

[celest mauve]

I mean, that car is just weird ass

[sharp veldt]

yuki came into the session saying he wasn't going to push super hard

[sharp veldt]

it's this. i don't think liam is bad. that car was hard to drive

[celest mauve]

ig TSU just adapted and lawson didn’t

[sharp veldt]

i just think yuki is approaching it better than liam did

[cyan saffron]

Maybe it's true what was said that Yuki's driving style is similar to Max's.

[grave robin]

fair point but still uki also has zero experience with the car and he keeps up

[sharp veldt]

yuki loves a pointy car. i think liam likes more understeery

[candid salmon]

how ironic would it be if Yuki was the cure to the curse all along

[celest mauve]

Can’t quali come sooner so we have an accurate comparison please

[grave robin]

yeah maybe they set the setup wrong for liam idk tbh

[cyan saffron]

Yeah and apparently the Red Bull only allows pointy.

[sharp veldt]

yuki has basically 0 red bull experience

[languid light]

majority of the drivers prefer understeer than oversteer

[sharp veldt]

yeah

[stiff plaza]

C'mon man, it's his home race. He's going all in for it.

[echo rune]

I mean we saw last year how quick Liam was on pace with Yuki so Liam is a fast driver it’s just the redbull is ass to drive💀

[celest mauve]

vindication

[raven wagon]

He did drove the RB20 tbf

[grave robin]

exatcly only post season testing was his 1st opertunity with redbull

[languid light]

he did in abu dhabi on post race testing

[sharp veldt]

no, i mean it in that he's not going to be super aggressive with the car right off the bat

[steep cape]

Liam had a good mentality going in, just didn't have the skillset to really put it to use
Yuki has the skillset and no doubt drove the VCarb car to the brink consistently to get an understanding of Max's driving style
Whats really impressive is he doesnt even have the same style as Max, Max is quicker in corners but Yuki is a monster on straights
Its really neat to see

[late remnant]

exactly

[weary cedar]

Explain the P6.

[late remnant]

liam got p9 because he was spun by oscar

[sharp veldt]

he drove the RB20 in post racing testing and that was his first time driving a red bull main team car.

[late remnant]

could have been further up

[celest mauve]

it’s just that each car has a different driving style and the Red Bull is especially shitty, but yuki adapted and liam did not

[sharp veldt]

liam had an existing private testing program at silverstone in RB cars + was their sim driver

[neat latch]

Simple as that

[weary cedar]

And that's what makes Yuki the faster driver.

[sharp veldt]

• had pre season testing

[neat latch]

Adaptability is important

[weary cedar]

Simple as that.

[grave robin]

yuki was still the quickest driver at the end of the day but idk why they didnt give the seat to yuki in the 1st place its common sense to put in the driver that has more experience

[sharp veldt]

I remember there was a one off race that Yuki and Liam did together where Yuki ended io winning solely based on adapting

[languid light]

I mean... Yuki prefers an oversteery car so it makes sense

[celest mauve]

yep

[stiff bough]

those red bull events stuff?

[sharp veldt]

yeah

it was either a red bull or honda event

[echo rune]

Hmmm but put them both in the mclaren and Liam might be faster. In the case of redbull Yuki is faster but it’s almost impossible to fully compare how fast 2 drivers are

[stiff bough]

cool to watch, probably shouldnt read into lol

[steep cape]

Likely politics, Yuki has shown experience, growth, and talent in the VCarb car.
When he was put into a RB car, he performed close to Max
There was no reason to put Lawson in before Yuki

[neat latch]

I remember yuki winning a lot of those

[weary cedar]

But Lawson's here to win no? Everytime he sees a driver underperforming, he feels like he can do better, no?

[sharp veldt]

it came down to team politics

[echo rune]

Yeah I don’t know why Yuki didn’t get it I assume it all came down to the Honda contract with redbull

[sharp veldt]

i don't get why newey was dragged into it tho

[weary cedar]

If he REALLY felt like he could be better. He would still be racing for Red Bull.

He didn't.

[steep cape]

Marko being Marko likely, trying to find someone to blame and unite the fans against
Isnt really working rn though

[sharp veldt]

newey's wife shut it down pretty quickly

[stiff bough]

but it's apparently not your regular 'oversteery' car

[celest mauve]

Hear me out, maybe it’s because he got so close to max

[sharp veldt]

she tweeted smth about newey being on gsrden leave at the time so it wouldn't make sense

[celest mauve]

I think they’ve made it clear they don’t want someone close to max

[neat latch]

Because the undead wanted to put the blame on someone else

[celest mauve]

but now that all the other options have been so trash they have no choice

[weary cedar]

Perez was sabotaged in 2023.

[sharp veldt]

i think the HRC president said honda is a sponsor but yuki's an independent driver with a red bull contract

[languid light]

iirc, yuki stated that they tweaked the car a bit for both him and max

[stiff bough]

newey was on garden leave in 2022?

[grave robin]

it sucks bh butt yeah he got the seat liam still has a seat so its a chance for liam to learn again but i feel red bull just humiliated lawson

[raven wagon]

If Checo felt he will 100% be here racing in 2025, he would still be racing for Red Bull

He didnt

[sharp veldt]

no, he was on garden leave whilst the deliberations about yuki v. liam were going on in '24

[weary cedar]

Whatever makes you cope 😭😭🙏

[raven wagon]

I used your logic

[neat latch]

This could have been avoided if they put yuki at the start but noooo, Marko had to be Marko

[echo rune]

Ohh yeah I mean I’m assuming it was 100% a political decision but who knows what goes on behind closed doors

[grave robin]

exactlyyy😂

[modern pivot]

good morning chat, anything happen in fp1?

[stiff bough]

yeah but the quote was that because of the damage yuki ended up causing for max, he was considered no good to newey, so it is possible that up until perez went to shit and lawson blew expectedly, they decided to go with newey's preference until they didnt have much a choice

[weary cedar]

Perez went last to P5 in his debute for Red Bull. Lawson went P17 and into the wall. There is no comparison.

[stiff bough]

of course im not saying this happens before

anyone

jumps

[languid light]

Tsunoda went flying

[stiff bough]

to

conclusions

[modern pivot]

let's go

any shunts?

[languid light]

nein

[modern pivot]

okay good

how was liam

[grave robin]

how is fp1 over ????? it sows fp 1 is 11 am for me???

[neat latch]

Decent

[echo rune]

That redbull was 100% an easier to drive car back then + Perez had way more experience and Liam does

[sharp veldt]

yeah, we'll never know

[languid light]

i think you mean fp2

[grave robin]

weird bc its 6 am for me rn

[languid light]

inaccurate

[weary cedar]

Perez spent most of his career driving a frankenstein Force India inspired by both Red Bull and Mercedes design languages. He went from low rake to high rake and adapted perfectly. Plus, 100% easier to drive is an understatement. Red Bull burned 2 drivers before getting Perez.

[grave robin]

most likely lol when is fp 2 ?

[languid light]

In an hour or two

[keen pelican]

RedBull forced Checo out. He didn’t leave voluntarily lol

[grave robin]

okeee

[languid light]

that's an ai overview 😭

[weary cedar]

Dw he went for more copium after that 😭😭🙏

[grave robin]

ikkkikk lol it gemini but gemini is useless asfff

[little dust]

Yeah it's in an hour. It also says on the F1 app

[stiff bough]

So in conclusion, don't put a rookie in a Red Bull that's difficult to drive

[raven wagon]

Copium that your driver said this yet hes not here

[grave robin]

thanksss sadly i dont pay for f1tv anymore so yeahhhhh

[versed jolt]

That’s track time

[grave robin]

no it is in sast time

[little dust]

I was talking about the app not f1 tv

[weary cedar]

Perez scored more points in the second half of 2024 than Liam did in 3 races. Idk about coping bro.

[keen pelican]

I can’t believe RedBull really believed in Liam over Yuki when Yuki dominated Liam all last year lol

[grave robin]

oop im dumb asf

[weary cedar]

My bad, his entire stint with Red Bull*

[versed jolt]

P1 was at 11:30am track time tho

[echo rune]

The pink Mercedes wasn’t exactly a slow car anyway and we saw how good his performance in it was. Again having experience helps a lot with adapting to a new car. And a car that’s opposite your driving style and even max says is hard to drive it’s gonna be very hard to adapt to in 2 race weekends

[little dust]

All good mate

[grave robin]

then gemini is brain dead

[echo rune]

Dude Are you even a Perez defender or is it just an excuse to be a Liam hater 😭

[stiff bough]

To give Lawson the benefit of the doubt, Pierre Gasly qualified P17 in Australia in 2019 behind both Toro Rosso's, and finished P11 behind Kvyat and a minute behind Verstappen in P3, and the cars back then had much much larger gaps throughout the field.

[grave robin]

nahhhhhh lolllll

[weary cedar]

I was talking about before 2020 but yeah that's true. But Liam came in with a cocky attitude and aggressive racecraft to back it up, and now that he's been given a shot to prove it, he failed miserably. I don't know about you, but when you make it seem like as soon as you're put in that Red Bull seat and that you're going to be winning left and right. People already expect you to be performing AT LEAST right behind Max.

[weary cedar]

I had the #11 role since 2021 until they removed it this year.

[raven wagon]

And yet Liam in China and Australia did not blame the team instead he blamed himself

[stiff bough]

already doin better than gasly !

[candid salmon]

Liam Lawson didn’t finish top 10 in any of his 10 sessions in that car btw, Yuki did it in his first

[weary cedar]

At least Gasly could score points

[grave robin]

i lovee the haas liveryyyy lol

[stiff bough]

At the end of the day, regardless of what Lawson says or talks himself up as being able to do, fans should be able to understand reality and manage expectations. He was played like a fiddle regardless by Red Bull. No matter the attitude he came in with, he was never going to succeed it just wasn't on the cards

[weary cedar]

Not sure if you're talking about being better than Yuki or Lawson already

Lol

[echo rune]

Yeah I mean he had the attitude and aggressive driving to prove himself to Redbull and it clearly worked. Again we know the current Redbull is virtually impossible to drive. Like Perez said since the Spanish gp. Of course getting put in the Redbull you’re gonna expect to do well and Redbull didn’t do him any favours hyping him up

[stiff bough]

In a grid where the Red Bull was often a second faster than the next team below them

[stiff bough]

so him scoring points is quite the low bar considering how much faster the top 3 were to everyone else

[echo rune]

I still don’t know why redbull didn’t give Liam an older car to drive like merc did with kimi

[echo rune]

Where he did an insane amount of practicd

[stiff bough]

even if he was given a TPC test, it's not really gonna help him a whole lot if the car he will be driving handles drastically differently

and Kimi was a planned promotion, that's why he got such red carpet treatment in comparison

[weary cedar]

That's the difference between a team that helps you get it right and one that wants you to get it right.

Welcome to Red Bull.

[stiff bough]

where we are the literal definition of insanity

[fickle forum]

The fanbase really tricked rbr into believing it was perez

[echo rune]

It would give him an idea of it. Obviously won’t show him how tip toey the car is though but I guess practicing in a car of the same style is always gonna help

Even just extra practice in an f1 car will always be beneficial to you

[echo rune]

Yeah Redbull is a clown of a team

[solid wadi]

apparently yuki doing as well as max in FP?

[stiff bough]

I think it's purely the lack of experience in F1 that have made it more difficult for him, rather than not having much testing in that specific car

[raven wagon]

I wonder what ppl were saying when Albon performed better than Gasly in that 2019 Redbull

Were they saying the same thing about how Gasly sucked

[echo rune]

Yeah that’s where extra practice regardless of the car will be beneficial to him. That plus Redbull actually giving him more than 2 races

[fickle forum]

But they'd have to go back quite far then, since the car was falling off since mid 2023

[echo rune]

Perez said the Spanish gp

[stiff bough]

It's about knowing how to navigate car setup and giving accurate feedback to your team to get the car in a window that works for you. Pierre Gasly struggled in Red Bull because he didn't know how to setup the car for himself, a lack of experience that he would have these days, same with Albon

and when Gasly got changes done to his car, they made his worse and he just kept deflecting blame on every factor except himself

[fickle forum]

If lawson wasn't so arrogant i'd feel bad

[weary cedar]

And y'all were calling my GOAT washed 😭😭🙏

[weary cedar]

I'm up for a Lawson redemption arc

But bro needs to stop being so cocky

Half of the grid already hates bro 😭😭🙏

[fickle forum]

I did joke about it but always said he's a very solid driver

[raven wagon]

He alr stopped being one

[weary cedar]

Real

[weary cedar]

Yeah cuz now he can't be cocky

[echo rune]

He’s absolutely not now

[stiff bough]

I personally think it's silly to read into how a driver talks, they are athletes at the end of the day and they are going to talk themselves up

[echo rune]

I mean he wasn’t really to start with anyway

I guess it’s just how you take what he says

[weary cedar]

Give him a drivable car and I bet he might return to old ways

[echo rune]

In New Zealand a person will always talk differently to how someone from America talks for example

[fickle forum]

It's just stuff like the finger to perez in mexico, saying he could easily beat max, said he's here to win not make friends

Stuff like that

[stiff bough]

tbf perez deserved that

[echo rune]

Personally I don’t see a problem with any of those things

[tribal parcel]

[stiff bough]

the alternative of having a driver with some sort of character, is that they give generic and boring responses and people dislike them for that because it's too "robotic"

[subtle crest]

What happened to Oscar? Did he crash?

[stiff bough]

so pick your poison

personally im going with the one with character

[raven wagon]

Thats the completely opposite of what he said

[rigid raft]

He just didn’t have pace tbh

[subtle crest]

K, thanks

Glad the car is OK and he can get a clear run in FP2

[raven wagon]

George is regarded as a pr merchant

[echo rune]

We love someone with a bit of character 💪

[weary cedar]

Tons of other people agree that Lawson was cocky. But regardless of dialects, you can always tell when someone is being friendly or cocky just by the tone of their voice.

[fickle forum]

He's better now i think, but it's the first few impressions he gave me that made me not like him much

[echo rune]

I mean people can agree with whatever they like but it’s up to the individual to believe what they believe. There were also people that loved him so it’s pretty much down to how you take the words/tone. I know over here people thought it was great what he said

Like for me I saw nothing wrong with what he said

And people will disagree

But at the end of the day if those words affect how you see someone then it was never meant to be

[fickle forum]

Yeah don't know it's a bit hard for me to now change my mind over him

[echo rune]

Yeah it is what it is then

[wooden kettle]

lawson is Not my guy but i still really like him for his personality
i hope he runs better now that hes back in vcarb

he seems happier

[echo rune]

He seems much happier now

[near tree]

Fundamentally wrong

[dire bay]

hopium for the tsonodium

replace max with yuki in the edit and now it's really fire

[snow swan]

Did I miss fp1

Yes I did

[dire bay]

[echo rune]

Yes

[dire bay]

yuki one tenth behind max

[snow swan]

What happened

[minor zodiac]

The disrespect

[snow swan]

GOAOOTEDDDD

I love you yuki ‼️

[dire bay]

nah max is one of my favorite drivers, it's just yuki deserves it rn

full respect to max

[dire hollow]

I wanna adopt Yuki Tsunoda

[minor zodiac]

Yuki starts winning and the edits will come that’s how it works

Pretty sure Max deserves it

[dire bay]

bro yuki's starting to break the curse that's pretty monumental

[wooden kettle]

walks in
says “fundamentally wrong”
doesnt elaborate

10/10 interaction

[rocky timber]

A multimillionaire backed by a multi-billion dollar company?

[dire bay]

he don't have to win

[echo rune]

It’s amazing what happens when a car suits your style isn’t it hahaha

[snow swan]

Lil hamster guy 🥺

[minor zodiac]

Ok so do you diss something that has Max in it?

[candid salmon]

people forget that Yuki likes oversteer and has been forced to drive an understeer car for years (which he overperformed in)

[near tree]

Lol I mean why elaborate, man gives 2 options a cocky driver or a robot when it's more like a cocky driver and a humble driver

[dire bay]

honestly if yuki keeps this up throughout the season he's gonna be a great teammate for max

[echo rune]

No you can definitely have a robotic personality

[wooden kettle]

absolutely

[weary cedar]

Slight oversteer is fun

Moderate oversteer and I die bro

[wooden kettle]

nah just lock in

[near tree]

Didn't say that's not possible

[dire bay]

i'd just rather have him in the edit at this moment in time, no diss to max

[minor zodiac]

And show what? Edit him getting 12th?

[weary cedar]

Moderate oversteer is more fun except in the exit

My throttle work is so buns 💔

[dire bay]

why you throwin shade at yuki now lmfao

[weary cedar]

Rear tires hate to see me

[echo rune]

Just edit him normally?

[dire bay]

im just sayin it fits better with the hype train is all

it's not that complicated

[minor zodiac]

Max is also hype as well

[wooden kettle]

not sayin he’s not

[near tree]

Yuki is so refreshing in that rb

[wooden kettle]

[molten copper]

So who can we blame now

[wooden kettle]

when in doubt

always blame mbs

[dire bay]

marko and horner

[waxen sail]

Wsgg

[minor zodiac]

So why said that about that video?

[echo rune]

Wrong driving styles

[minor zodiac]

Should be Yuki not Max lol

[snow swan]

While practice is not representative whatsoever, oh my fucking god lets go Yuki

[wooden kettle]

bc they wanted to see a certain driver in an edit. it is Not that deep

[near tree]

Liam literally says it not driving style

[wooden kettle]

they didnt say they hated max
they just said a yuki edit would be cool

[echo rune]

Look man I think you took what he said the wrong way he wasn’t trying to diss max

[golden narwhal]

liam when he's also getting beat by IsuckHasjar

[echo rune]

He was just trying to show some love for Yuki

[echo rune]

We all know driving style is important

[near tree]

Apparently not liam 😂

[echo rune]

If you don’t like an oversteery car you’re most likely not gonna do well in an oversteery car

[wooden kettle]

bro literally said “full respect to max”

[echo rune]

I guess everyone makes mistakes

[near tree]

We can def agree Liam's pr team should have stopped him from digging his hole. He may not be there to make friends but he's def not there to make enemies

[languid light]

he's not even there lmao

who tf cares

[snow swan]

RB cares

[golden narwhal]

[snow swan]

didnt Yuki get told to just stop speaking when he first showed enthusiasm to get into the red bull car, replacing Lawson

during an interview

[near tree]

He did say whatever he wanted, it's going well

[golden narwhal]

i forgot who said this but drivers these days have lost their mystique

everyone knows everything about them now

[wooden kettle]

nah. tbh let him cook

it was cinema

[golden narwhal]

bring back the times where you get 2 interviews per month

[dire bay]

tbh they're more human now

[echo rune]

Drivers say what people want to hear not what they want to say. It’s nice for someone to say what they want to say

[wooden kettle]

exactly

[dire bay]

you also can just be kimi and not say shit too

[wooden kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/kimi-räikkönen-raikkonen-formula1-f1-gif-19679538

[echo rune]

And by saying what people want to hear they lose their “personality” so to speak

Where Liam just says what he wants to say and it’s quite refreshing

[near tree]

Liam's personality is like max with no pace

[golden narwhal]

kimi doesnt really have mystique he's more like ur uncle that shows up once a year at new years

[wooden kettle]

thats also why i loved when cola did interviews last year, and people would translate what he said

[scarlet wasp]

What y’all think p1 of tsu? Kept it pretty close. Redbull might have two drivers now

[echo rune]

Liam’s personality is just the same as a regular New Zealander

[golden narwhal]

except the driver

[tame narwhal]

better than p20 😭

[echo rune]

Yeah nothing wrong with a change of driver in the edits. Most edits seem to just be Lando, Lewis or max hahaha

[dire bay]

max will be more like p4 or p5 with a mcclaren 1-2, russel p3, leclerc p4

[tame narwhal]

All the girls thinking he’s hot

Most unhinged predictions I've seen

Redbull doesn’t trust in anyone except max 💀

I'm a Sergio fan I get it

Get ready for Cadillac 2026 babyyyyyyy

[echo rune]

Imagine Liam and Perez as teammates in Cadillac

[minor zodiac]

I have seen it in here too. People coming in here. and here being like “Why is Lando so hot” 😆

[tame narwhal]

max is losing trust in redbull 😂

[golden narwhal]

whoever thinks lando is hot is weird

[scarlet wasp]

Tsu might have bigger balls than Max but not enough skill to match. I like it as as Redbull fan.

[golden narwhal]

lando isnt even top 10

[near tree]

Perez is why I'm not a Liam fan so I remain apprehensive

[echo rune]

Personal preference I guess

well those people are basically the entirety of stroll's fanbase lmao

i just think lando looks like a soaked cat

[wooden kettle]

nah i actually do see some legit stroll fans

as in
like stroll for past performance

russell isnt my cuppa tea

You don't give my boy the middle finger at his home race. No siiiiirr

I see why Liam did it and I see why everyone was mad

this is more delusion than the tifosi and team lh fans that believe he has 8 championships combined

stroll haters dont like a loving and caring father

[near tree]

Nah completely unnecessary

[echo rune]

he's single so

Tell your friends it’s a big deal Liam isn’t cut to be a wdc

That’s fair

[tame narwhal]

lawson should not have been placed in that seat in the first place

just destroyed all his confidence

[echo rune]

I don’t know why redbull ever put him in

[minor zodiac]

It was fake confidence

[tame narwhal]

if he went in to vcarb with that confidence

[echo rune]

He needed more time

[tame narwhal]

he would have cooked

[dire bay]

[near tree]

Middle finger got him 2 races then he was on his own 😂😂

[golden narwhal]

you know who shouldnt need more time

Helmut Marko

his time is up

i need him to go

he is a cancer on the red bull org

@echo rune you may still have hope if the vcarb is as good as max says

send him to mars

Red Bull doesn’t have a lot going for it other than Max overachieving.

[echo rune]

The Vcarb definitely looks easier to drive

I mean I’ll always have hope in Liam

if max leaves red bull is going to the pits of hell

what was max vs yuki position in fp1?

didnt get to watch 😦

[dire bay]

it's been two races and an fp1 session that's quite the assumption

[molten copper]

Which position he came in fp1?

[vague sandal]

5th to max 6th to yuki

[echo rune]

When two people have different driving styles it will always be impossible to compare them

wow

[weary cedar]

Depends on how much Red Bull screw up to be honest. Also depends if GP is coming with him.

[echo rune]

13 your point?

[vague sandal]

Max and yuki where on same compound and same engine mode and same run plan and to get such a close result is a good sign that yuki is doing good and will do better

Max did 23 yuki did 25

[near tree]

Yukis onboard looked pretty good tbh. Minor stuff but I think he can develope into it

[scarlet wasp]

Yuki is willing to risks it as much as max is laying it out. Redbull needs that. They made the right move. Yuki will adapt in a different pace then
Perez

[echo rune]

Absolutely

[weary cedar]

How much faster do you think he would have gone

[vague sandal]

ur lying for fun

[echo rune]

That’s why yuki is doing good in redbull and Liam is doing better in carb

[tame narwhal]

why wasnt this since the start

[echo rune]

Wdym

[tame narwhal]

genuis whoever put lawson in red bull

[molten copper]

Exactly

[vague sandal]

They expected more from him

[echo rune]

Yeah they should have done Yuki since the start

[scarlet wasp]

Liam didnt do a thing for carb other than take a backseat
To crybaby hadjar

[echo rune]

Do you just hate every driver

[dry lantern]

When is fp2

[scarlet wasp]

I sound like it lmao

[echo rune]

It sounds so bad 😭

[vague sandal]

I mean lawson is far behind hadjar

[echo rune]

.3 isn’t bad for his first session

We will see how he goes the rest of the weekend

[scarlet wasp]

I really hoped Lawson outperformed hadjar tbh

[minor zodiac]

So some people really think that Yuki is going to qualify better than Max?

[vague sandal]

On a track that Liam has raced many times it;s not the greatest

[echo rune]

Again it was fp1 in a car he hasn’t driven

Let’s see how he goes this session

[molten copper]

See since last season I wanted yuki in rb I didn't wanted liam now I feel bad that they swaped him after two races, they shouldn't have brought him in first place

[weary cedar]

No one said that what

[vague sandal]

How much you wanna bet that hadjar is faster than lawson

[weary cedar]

And even if they did

[dry lantern]

People can be delusional about Ferrari winning another championship but not Yuki out qualifying his teammate

[weary cedar]

Zero wheel knowledge

Unless Max somehow fumbles

Very unlikely

[unreal marlin]

max wont fumble, trust

[steep cape]

Listen, huge Yuki fan here
Its not going to happen
Yukis doing great, but its just not likely

[vague sandal]

Bro Yuki is gon out qual max

I can tell you thaT

[echo rune]

Yeah it was a stupid decision to swap after 2 races all it did was destroy his confidence

[weary cedar]

L ragebait

[neat fern]

I can bet you my 0 dollar he will

[vague sandal]

See in 30 min when Yuki has a better time than max

[dry lantern]

I got CRAZY odds rn with Yuki>Max. It’s like 1-25

[minor zodiac]

Checo will out qualify Max

[dire bay]

ok yeah but writing off liam just because yuki is doing good is a dumb move. liam can be readjusting while yuki is doing well at the same time. ✨ nuance ✨

[polar nimbus]

Y'all want the RB car to be terrible so bad 😂

[scarlet wasp]

Yuki will not out
Quali max but at least hes willing to push the rb to what he feels is its limit. I gotta add p2 to really berieve.

[dim oar]

There’s always a first time for everything. Yuki can outperform Max no problem

[snow swan]

Whatever the video that going on right now about Ferrari, IT'S COPING HARD

[plush current]

i realized i'm cooked because since when did i start watching practice sessions lol

[weary cedar]

But y'all are wilding. This is Max Verstappen we are talking about.

[dry lantern]

Yuki probably won’t out qualify one of the best drivers OAT BUT a man can dream

[weary cedar]

Far too early

[dim oar]

I haven’t check the socials what happened?

[polar nimbus]

Zero seat time in the RB21 and Yuki was a tenth off max

[dire bay]

yeah i'm a yuki stan but i won't go that far

he'll probably be more like perez in '21, being a good wingman

[dim oar]

Ooo it’s Max. So that doesn’t mean nothing

[final stag]

it will take a while for him to get to max's level but he has the potential

[dry lantern]

Max is arguably the goat

[scarlet wasp]

Max is the most gangster on the grid

[plush current]

i hate the fact that Jos Verstappen being a straight up abusive parent actually worked lol

[dry lantern]

[echo rune]

I guess being beaten does work 😭😭

[dim oar]

You not lying lol

[scarlet wasp]

Alonso is a thug!

[weary cedar]

So if you put Max Verstappen and Nicholas Latifi as teammates, it wouldn't mean anything? So Latifi could outqualify Max in his first race as teammates?

[polar nimbus]

Jos proves bullying works 😂

[scarlet wasp]

Respect the react

[dire bay]

lewis is. max is damn close but 7 championships just speaks for itself. i say this as a max fan

[snow swan]

Its like a documentary with team words, Ferrari is coping hard with thier same BS

[weary cedar]

Not saying Tsunoda is Latifi, but dude. My point is this is a 4x World Drivers Champion and you're saying Tsunoda mighf just leash him first session.

Take a chill pill.

[dry lantern]

Like I said arguably. I don’t think he is but there’s definitely a argument to be made

[scarlet wasp]

Man can we all agree this season is lined up to be fucking great!

[dire bay]

yeah

[astral dune]

Well I'm alr on Next Year lol

[polar nimbus]

Lewis has been in the sport a decade longer

[dry lantern]

Let a man dream of fairy tails.

[dire bay]

fairy tails? so we talkin the sonic character or is tinkerbell now a rat lol

[plush current]

Max is the extremely rare exception where the kid somehow turns out well-adjusted

[echo rune]

On tab here Liam to win is $1-$251 💀💀💀

[molten copper]

Exactly, Tsunoda just came in rb and the main race hasn't even started , we will get to know about this after few races

[dry lantern]

Now if max wins this season? In consistently the 3rd-5th fastest car? Now that’s no question about it. He’s better than Lewis or Micheal

[echo rune]

Yeah and just being forced to drive and drive help a bit too hahah

[dry lantern]

Put 80 dollars down.

[polar nimbus]

If he wins 5 in a row is it really the 3rd to 5th fastest car or are you just lying to yourself at that point

[dim oar]

You got the wrong idea, the glazing needs to be studied. But anyways all I’m saying is yuki can outperform max this weekend. It’s not like I’m saying bro is better than max as a package. Chill tf out

[echo rune]

Bahaah imagine that and I end up with 20k💀

[steep cape]

I could see him doing so, buuuuut
That Mclaren is insane, even if Lando makes consistent mistakes Oscar is right there in the waiting
So hes a top 3 contender for 1st

[modern pivot]

I believe in the haasterclass

[scarlet wasp]

Max is mistake less. If they can sniff McLaren. Lando and Piastri aren’t flawless

[lucid valley]

Yuki is goated 🙂

[plush current]

i still think Norris is a better driver than Piastri and it's too early to crown him overtaking

[dry lantern]

Well as of this moment the car at best is the 2nd fastest. If the car stays at this pace comparative to other cars than yes in my opinion he’s the GOAT no contest

[dry lantern]

I don’t believe he can do it. But if he did my god

[steep cape]

You're certainly right in that regard, but he'd have to claw through Lando and Piastri
Not to mention George and that Mercedes

[echo rune]

Yeah i agree. Piastri came out so good when he started but he sort of fell away a little bit

[dry lantern]

I’ve noticed lando is kinda inconsistent. Like very inconsistent

[lone iron]

Seeing that Yuki is right behind max it looks promising

[modern pivot]

yes but again it's just fp1

[dry lantern]

Possibly tuned up engine but yes very promising

[steep cape]

Oh for sure, he'd be absolutely insane if he did and would 100% be considered one of the most insane drivers of all time

[eager rapids]

hes been better this season but yeah he never has been the most consistent

[dim oar]

This is why I hate talking to rb fans especially the max gobblers. You say one thing to them and it completely evaporates out of the other ear. It might be a mental illness

[polar nimbus]

Its also the first time Yuki's sat in the car

[lone iron]

True but looks like it might be the right call we'll see how 2, 3 and Quali go

[modern pivot]

we'll see

[dry lantern]

Dude calm yourself. You’re talking like you race in F1

[eager rapids]

normalize being aware of your favs downsides but also dont be a jerk to others

[steep cape]

Yeah I agree wit that

[dim oar]

You have to participate in F1 to know about the sport? Yeah keep it stepping

[dry lantern]

Not one driver is perfect

[sleek knot]

I am 1 on f1 16

[eager rapids]

exactly, no driver, team, or strategy is flawless

[scarlet wasp]

Ferrari feels personally assaulted

[eager rapids]

lol i honestly had mclarens calls in mind

[dry lantern]

??? Why are you mad? My point was you’re taking this way to seriously rn. You’re in a discord server rn getting upset bc someone is happy a driver they like is doing well. Listen man you’re just being toxic is how I see it and I’m pretty sure nobody is gonna fuck with you if you keep doing shit like this. I mean in life in general not just rn

[plush current]

whoa lmao
