I'm playing catch up but man, Bearman is on fire. P20 to P13 (so far)
Only lap 23 so far but still
robbed from dotd
what happened, 4 penatlies after the race...
"And we have James Vowels on the radio."
James Vowels: https://youtu.be/4FFXbHR9_hs?si=y6fTsUqjQtB3E-AJ
That's a good one
what the heck this is so accurate for airports
Wake up on a Monday, still happy for Oscar, still gutted for Jack.
Lmao wtf
Hii guys just came here to ask, respectfully ofc: do you think Ollie could win dotd?
Cuz I think he did a great job IN A HAAS
Should ? Definitely. Could ? Maybe
Tbh
I'm primarily a lando supporter
But bearman and antonneli are close seconds
I just thought he was not appreciated enough so I wanted to drop this thought here
absolutely
And kimi too! But this strategy?!!? What was that
We <3 bearman
Unlucky with the safety car as well as the softe 😔
kimi already has gotten dotd before
Yes, do you remember what he and toto said abt that?
yeah loll
So funny lol
Which one Lmaooo
It was hurtful as a lando fan
Yesterday
I haven't seen that one and I'm happy with that
why lol
Its just George's back as he takes off his shirt in the cool down room. Nothing special
Bad weekend in short
Do youbhave it ? 
wait i thought u meant the picture of russel's back is what hurts you
Oh no
Samee
The weekend
Looll
.
No
😔
u are very persistent 🧐
Just curious
Neither attracted to russel nor guys in general
i didnt see a posted pic but i did watch it
Jeez so many penalties, so many technical problems.
its okay bro ur valid for that (ur secrets safe with me)
Lmaooo
tf 😭
OH
Apparently leclerc had a drs issue too?
this guy has always had drs issue every gp atp he should depart from ferrari and join somewhere like mercedes
whooo
its russel
Wdym
Holy fucking hell
Leclerc doesn't always have drs issues
LMAO (REAL)
Dude seems like a skater boy from the abxk
idk what that means but if it means hot then i agree
@proven leaf your ment those pcs?
Ye
We listen, we don't judge
what, you got more back pics?
3am fp2, qualy and race 😭
She's about to make me wanna cry
Me too when I saw her
i think she always looks sad
i swear any picture is like that of her
Horner experienced 2014 to 2020, hes played these games before 
https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/1jykn5z/qwhat_are_the_positives_that_you_take_from_the/ damn he's like depressed
she has never been that sad
norris is always hard on himself and some people hate on him for it but its good to recognize your mistakes but you shouldnt be that critical
we want piastri to win!!
She's just like me
Did Russell not get a penalty for DRS infringement?
NO
How
FiA threw away the "penalties not being subjective" part a year ago or two
if penalties were objective this would be a penalty which they claim are
what was the one
oh yeah
alonso's australia penalty
Man, the more I look into this the worse Norris looks for botching quali
Sainz got a penalty for breaching an appendix. Which appendix they talking avout? The one he doesnt have anymore?
YEAHHH
no rawe ceek? 😔
SAUARA DIBIA GP LETS GO

My favorite part about yesterday’s race was George using electrical warfare against Lando

Is that ben shuleyman (or whatever) emoji?
i also made the appendix joke u-u
stand by this, bro couldn't beat a mercedes that was literally dying
just finished the race. wild. several drivers had a really good day, dotd for hamilton is kind of surprising considering but not unearned. gutted for carlos, for kimi, especially for jack. but happy for oscar, lewis, esteban, pierre, ollie, and especially yuki. i mean the tsunoda vs lawson debate is well and truly over, there is just no arguing it anymore.
Bearman deserves dotd
Even ocon
he was on mediums and george was on softs, simple as that
i probably would've voted for pierre, but you could make a good argument for at least those six drivers, maybe even a few others
Ok
Why Pierre
haas definitely deserve team of the day though
Agreed
He had technical issues yes, but considering his laptimes towards end, that Mercedes was certainly not dying.
7th (nearly 6th) in that tractor is impressive, especially with qualifying 5th, and especially especially considering how much jack fell off at the end
I know
Somehow every team is doing good this season
lol you asked why and i said why
But he didn’t do that much
Bearman went from p20 to p10
In a HAAS
yeah you're right still norris should be able to get by that car given that he had plenty of time to do that while his teammate was gapping the same car by a considerable amount
If it was a better car you could dismiss it
But a HAAS
clean air
haas is 5th in the standings, it's not like it's the slowest car anymore. pit strategy also helped a lot. also, it's not the first time this year that that car has driven from the back to the points. if anything it's just a car that has way better race pace than quali pace
Also MCLAREN are running away with the constructor championship
Showing as much dominance as red bull 2023
In constructors
Ferrari podium trust
True, he made the mistake to try passing on the 1st corner instead of setting it up in 1st corner and then do it in next DRS (like a few others did).
you know you have it in the bag when your challenger is Ferrari 😭
yeah dirty air can hinder the overtaking process but given the tire advantage as well as the abundance of time it kinda balances out, at some point an impression needs to be made, you really can't ask for a better overtaking setup
not at all. after four races in 2023 red bull had a 93 point lead. after four races and a sprint this year mclaren has a 58 point lead.
put Max in that and you'd get similar results
You largely undermine dirty air
I mean the McLarens were running high downforce which makes overtakes harder
ferrari is 4th...
yeah that's a bahrain thing
Norris just spent too much time behind leclerc
Didn’t he always do it after the second drs ?
Like the two passes he made
On Hamilton and leclerc
he means on russell
Yes, but for some reason he did not follow that strategy when trying to pass Russel at the end.
Still
Y know I’m talking about equal dominance from the drivers
It will be difficult for McLaren to manage Oscar piastri and lando norris
the speed difference isn't close either. red bull was miles away from anyone else, mclaren is the quickest but it's clearly not nearly as big a gap over the rest
Ok
also, red bull only failed to win one race and one sprint in all of 2023. mclaren has already failed to win one race and one sprint and the season just started
But McLaren still look good to bag the constructor championship
i understand the effect that dirty air has on the car, it's not the only variable in overtaking. lando still had more than enough time to get the job done.
i mean yea, they're definitely in the lead lol
Hi
He wasn’t close enough ..
True, but in 2023 Redbull had very little competition (if any). This year Redbull stepped up, making the gap to the front smaller. If that did not happen, McLaren would have been miles apart like Redbull in 2023.
Time isn’t even the problem here ..
He destroys his tires the more he is behind another driver
Imagine being 8 tenth’s off every lap for almost 6-7 laps
It trashes your tires
Yes I agree Russel had used softs
i have a question
why were people telling lando to retire
or just like
hating on lando in general yesterday
When don’t they
i mean like why did they want him to dnf i didn't get what was going on 😭
social media
they like hating on people
sigh
unfortunate
even people were hating on max to
saying stuff like hes washed 💔
i’ve never seen a positive post about a driver on f1 twitter
its just blind hate everywhere
I find F1 fans online to be super toxic often. When I talk to people about F1 irl they’re a lot more civil and love all the drivers
that app is an actual hellhole
thats true
It’s easy to say things behind a screen
i find the f1 fans that are super toxic are usually people that dont even watch the races
This too
💔
I’m about to watch the replay of the race and wanna ask was it a good race?
Because he expressed negativity towards himself
Ba dum tss
God forbid a person expresses their feelings on a difficult sport 🙏
it was very entertaining
8/10
had lots of exciting moments
honestly phenomenal. just exciting, mostly clean racing for 57 straight laps
He said he”d win the wdc and apparently now that he says Oscar’s going to lap the field , people just don’t want him to win
I spoiled myself and know who won but still gonna watch the race regardless. If it was fun then it should be exciting to watch. (Gonna have to watch lots of replays cause I’m from Aus).
man
some the norris hate is pretty forced tbh
mate you’ve posted that picture like 10 times now

ITS HARD NOT TO
but not all of it
but i gained so much respect for oscar after this race
hes an animal
especially the gap he rebuilt after sc
he just like that fr
leclerc start was absolute disappointment to watch
unlucky
that double overtake was fire though
just one race win at least
wanted leclerc to win on my sand so bad but its whatever
people who were paying attention knew this would happen. won formula renault is his second try, then won f3 as a rookie, then won f2 as a rookie. he wasn't gonna win the championship in 2023 or 2024 but this year, i mean, he'll be in the top two at the very least
hadjar will win before then i swear
oscar is genuinely a good driver
dude when i say hes an animal, hes a beast
saw that stuff irl i was absolutemy amused
blud celebrates like he didnt even win 😭
chill guy of f1
i’m still hoping Leclerc wins WDC this year
there’s still time
🙏
i'd say similarly if bortoleto was in a top car he'd be outshining antonelli rn
i'd like to see that happen tbh
that is NOT happening provided the car functions like that
i hope ferrari improves very soon
we will be fastest car after upgrades bro 🗣️🔥
overall had so much fun in the grandstand
Some ? No. Most ? Yes
will go jeddah too
look how much upgrades in bahrain benefited us
(fr fr)
inshallah 🗣️
i say some because he has an equal if not overwhelming amount of news outlet/media support.
you can kill the man you can’t kill the idea
Go online anywhere in the last 3 days. Check the hate vs love ratio
Bro alonso is killing me😭
It was a really interesting race
Cool excited
fr
people kept telling me "he's not ready to challenge for the wdc"
"wait for 2026, even 2027"
LEE FELIX
yes
been predicting an oscar wdc in 2025 since august last year
He's got the mentality
but i really want lando to win wdc this year
Guys I’m watching the replay of the race rn and I’m confused what happened to Lando can anyone tell me.
oscar>lando in terms of consistency
no shit sherlock hes been cooking
Wow people actually believing in Oscar WDC, I am not delusional
I was hoping for times like this
Oscar in his first season was bad in tire management, he fixed that last season, last season his quali needed to be focused on since he was 4-20 vs lando
This season 4 races and 2 poles
And even the margins were so fine in the other two (Aus and Japan)
Next up Saudi.
Oscar has out-qualified Lando both in 2023 and 2024
I get it the car was shit in 2023 but Oscar got P9 in Jeddah Qualifying 2023 while Lando was P19 (0.6-0.7ish up on him)
I’m asking about the penalty he got
He got a 5 sec pen for false start since he was way out of his grid box
bro was ahead of the line while starting
Served it in his first pit stop
still 5s was too less
Yeah it's been pointed out
10s would do justice
Specially with Ricciardo getting a 10s last year
5s is literall nothing in race pace
exactly
I mean it is what it is, FIA has no consistency when handing penalties
i am actually surprised how well Charles did this race compared to Lewis
false position he drove one inch after the grid
He actually defended better vs Norris than Lewis
Not to mention that overtake on Lando before the safety car
Need more of that from him and hope Ferrari gets better
When did Ricciardo get 10 seconds for out of position at the start?
i thought Russell binned it during the SC because his transponder was making him go haywire on the timing tower
Canada
Oscar got one in Vegas too
We never were delusional my friend
Exactly. If you like the McLaren’s then just support both drivers.
He got 5 seconds though, not 10
Just checked and that was 5 seconds as well
You can like a team and dislike one or both of their drivers
Same as you can support a driver and not his team or teammates, there’s no rules
But i don't like McLaren, that's kind of the whole point.
Fair enough
I mean it’s your opinion however I love the McLaren
Sure, but I don't. Nor am I obligated to like any of Oscar's teammates, or Daniel's, or Jack's.
same, i like Piastri but not McLaren
I like Leclerc and Ferrari, couldn’t stand sainz
I love Oscar but I hate the decisions that McLaren makes at times
I like Albon can’t stand Williams
Hi
Where can I see the Bahrain race?
ALBONO!!!

i dont think they have it as extended highlights currently
If they haven’t uploaded they probably simply don’t have it
Sainz getting a taste of Williams 2nd seat curse.
There’s no way to I hate the cars this year
It’s literally a gaping hole that’s a second entrance right there
No one is forgetting this moment for the rest of the season.
Ikrr but he still beat max so I'm happyy
Gud 4 u 🙂
I like norris but im not an official fan tbh. But ye, Mclaren are cooking fr
Yeah huge Yuki and Lando fan so ye piastri making me worried atm
Im gona send the max pic again
During the Bahrain GP Lawson is playing bumper cars 💀
Urge
Yippieeee!!!!
Hes so cute
👋
ONLY HE WAVED A
frrr
HES THE GOAT
FRRRR
This is not cool leclerc
CHAAARLES LEACLEARC👹👹
W
Leclerc* 🤓 ☝️
Ferrari when 1-2
fr
I am referring to the child screaming to leclerc who nearly vomited
it didnt rain in Bahrain so why didnt they call it Bah
The only rain in Bahrain is Bahrain
Oh yeah ive been thinking about it lately 😭
❗️ The Race understands Jack Doohan's Alpine F1 seat should be safe until the summer.
Full story: https://t.co/HdrOZkka1s
Yes that vid
yep
Smooth operator❌ Kung fu fighting✅
The cameras focusing on Lando and George instead of Oscar was total disrespect
fr
I watched the replay of the race just before and wow it was an amazing race with Lando and George being neck and neck at the end.
YOU WERE THERE???
Dude
Anyone have any explanation why Ferrari become a rocket ship in the second stint ?
Mmm, good
future wdc winner right there
Mbs?
Probably
Like when Vince McMahon was WWE champion for a while
??
Mohammad Ben Sulayem
Real
how does that relate to Oscar?
What?
.
Yeah?
how does Vince McMahon relate to Oscar?? 💀
I don't know
I didn't even mention Oscar lol
You pointed to a pic with like 6 dudes in it and said future wdc and I asked if you meant mbs
She was about to lose it as well.
This is who she reminds me of
#f1 | saudi-arabia-gp
18 Apr 2025 - 20 Apr 2025
Um
Midnight race for me sadge
This shot caught my attention as well
Can't do shit when the car is shit lmao
looks so helpless
i absolutely got robbed on the f1 predict thingy like i put 19 classified finishers but no nico got dsq so it doesnt count
Then his DOTD was stolen.
Its still good.
Does anyone have a comparison of Oscar’s face after Australia and after Bahrain?
Very unfortunate. 💔
3am race for me
but luckily a public holiday the next day
DOTD doesnt really mean anything
it rarely ever goes to the most deserving driver
Oh it does mean something , either the voters are biased or just stupid 
what does it mean
it doesnt even give you points
in the larger context its just a funny vote
voters might as well give stroll dotd every gp then
real 😭
Btw who voted for DOTD?
I need those zzzzzz’s
I’ve been missing that lately due to being overly excited with the Bahrain GP
Oscar will win the next one
is dotd being put on a randomiser atp
Lets not get too ahead for a sec
But I hope oscar wins too, he has a fast car and he has the skill to drive it
Is there any good video that explains the Jeddah circuit technically? I know its a fast pace track but i want to know more
My driver ratings for the Bahrain GP:
Max: 8
Piastri: 10
Norris: 7.5

Stroll: 3
Bortoleto: 2
Hulk: 3
Albon: 6
Sainz: 6
roast me
e
Fair
🇸🇦 
Alpine pulled a bit of a L with their strat
But maybe they didn't have any mediums left so
To quote Hamilton: "These tyres suck"
Bearmans a 10
Kimi 5
And yuki 6.5
Cause terrorism
Buddy needs to lock in, his head is all over the place
Not even the rookies are making these mistakes
Honestly
He’s the worst championship leader ever
It took him 8 laps to get passed a red tractor
Maybe even more
Yeah, even as a Ferrari fan I got to say, shameful
And the red tractor overtook him
In the Rocketship
Meanwhile Oscar showed us what that thing can really do
Wasn't even on tv the whole race lmao
Bearman should be higher, P20 to P10 is unbelievable
P10 in a Haas in your rookie year
Two weeks in a row
This is everything I wanted from Mick Schumacher
My body is ready for Max at Mercedes
So is mine
Haas isn't a clown show anymore
Shame for George tho
not really with a safety car
what Ocon did was more impressive
He's doing really well, yeah
Didn't it take him that long to pass stroll at China?
At this point I can vaguely see Russell wdc
No?
Stroll arguable worst on the grid
norris came out behind stroll with fresh tyres
and he was in a mclaren
and stroll had like 30000 lap old tyres
And stroll was in an Aston Martin
nah that's Lawson's title
Talking sprint
Fire PFP rn
Lmao your status A tier shit posting
imagine russell or max doing a kimi 2007 to both mclarens
You guys are acting like the McLarens are beating the shit out of each other on track lmao
It's more like Lando fumbling on track and Oscar just being a chill guy
now imagine kimi doing that
thatll be brutal 😭
theyre not fumbling on track sure lando made a lot of mistakes in bahrain but his drives are not that bad
but yeah mclaren kinda rocketship rn
Kinda
I mean qualifying 6th with the best car and missing your grid box is a fumble.
Name one driver that did not fumble at some point.
Ayumu Iwasa

Watch his F2 SPA race, 2023 - first lap.
Sorry I'm blind I can't
That's sad, perhaps then ask the one doing all your typing to do it or just listen to the commentary, or are you deaf too ?for
If your'e speaking truth, then sorry to hear. If not, your one helluva troubled trial moderator.
😭
congrats to Oscar Piastri!
Happens to the best of drivers
Idk I always found the perfectionist in the f1 fandom a little lame, cause I don’t remember a lot of this shit when Lewis was making silly errors years ago
Alonso's career:
2003-2014: 💥
2015-2018: 💀
2021-2022:🙂
2023: 💥
2024: 😭
2025: ☠️☠️☠️
HES GOING INSANE 😭
Is it me or is he actually going insane
dont blame him tbh
I too would go insane if the team I won 4 championships with suddenly became ass
Finally I can send message after telling about Liam😭
Looks like George is going to agree a 3 year contract extension by whats coming out today
So max to Mercedes is out of the question
I think Max stays at Red Bull but starts to get really nasty inwards at the team.
Yeah because imo the situation is not going to improve
Aston's a risk... BUT it is Newey and he loves Newey.. but it's a jump. Alpine is the other option?
They've lost too many important cogs that makes up the machine
If max moves, it’s gonna be after ‘26 just to see who gets the regs right
I mean if George wins the world championship this year or next, there's a not half a chance of that.. George won't leave and Antonelli has lots of time in hand
Yeah, if Aston is good (which i fully believe they will be despite the recent results)
Also it's not guaranteed that Mercedes WILL have the best car next year, they probably will have the best engine but mclaren also has the same engine
So that's another thing to consider
True, but I suspect Merc might have a few extra bits for their main team which others don't etc
its happened before
If Aston can get back to their early 2023 form, I could see Max going
They're not allowed to do that anymore
Factory teams are obligated to give the exact same engines to the costumer teams
They're not allowed to limit the engines they give, it's a rule that was introduced a long time ago already
@knotty mist
Ah interesting ok
So yeah I guess McLaren Aston and Mercedes next year is the fight
Maybe Alpine..
Alpine finally seems to be in a good place (if they don't change the entire team internally again)
They will fight for 5th this year
I would include Ferrari in there but i haven't heard about their engine
theyve been pretty quiet about it
who put Aston there?
I get that Mewey will be there
but that isn't enough
I expect a big improvement with Newey. Development in season will occur
car isn't just aero
maybe not 2026 but they will rapid develop]
yeah I can see that
Im seriously thinking it could be Max and Alonso next season. Lance to quit
but they still need to have money for other stuff other than his salary
I'm seriously thinking it won't be
Kimi is really good
and dropping him for a very pricy verstappen doesn't seem like the right move
I heard the honda engine was good
where yall even getting those infos from
you’ll only know how good the engines/cars are when the season starts
rn is pointless having any “i heard” or “i think x is ahead”
People saying stuff in the paddock random f1 fan
Also it's obvious Mercedes has the best engine if you pay attention as to how they're acting
I think mclaren is ahead of everyone because they run a LOT of downforce and are still bloody quick
Ofc you never know until all cars are on track
lmao
then you arrive next season and it’s Honda or Ferrari with the best engine
Funny how you say that when Ferrari wanted the 2026 regs to be scrapped in favor of V10s
Best engine isn't just being the fastest on straights
it's about having a certain amount of downforce higher than your opponent and still be just as fast even if a bit slower
This isn't about the sounds, it's about performance
V12 engines must have been pretty quick because of how they sounded
Ferrari couldn't give a fuck about how their engine sounds, they just want to have any advantage, and that's why them wanting to scrap the 2026 regs could mean their engine isn't the best
And then we have Mercedes who rejected the idea of scrapping the 2026 regs
And it's pretty obvious why
@mild mist
These things have implications
sure broski, let’s see if Mercedes really has the best engine come 2026
Brother the most important thing I've learned while being in the F1 community, is paying attention
To what teams say, to what decisions they make
The vibes etc etc
It's pretty fucking important ngl
If you disagree just tell me
Also listening to paddock rumors
But those are to be taken with a pinch of salt
bru
there is no way lando will be a world champion
he doesnt have self belief
but tons of self doubt
He fast but the self doubt is getting ridiculous
he is not fast
he was struggling to clear a slower ferrari
got done by an alpine in qualifying
I have no doubt piastri would have won japan if he let him through
he gets P1 and loses it at the first turn time and time again
Well, he is, when hes in the right mindset. That was proven plenty of times in 2024 and it's just a fact
But
Hes not been in the right mindset so far for 2025
he wasnt fast in brazil 2024 where it mattered
he is not a champion doesnt have the temprament
piastri has the temprament of a champion
So what him being slow at one track means he's just not fast? That makes no sense
Wouldn't say that's 100% correct but I get what you mean
he beats himself way waay too much
that leads to him believing he is less than what he actually is
lando wont beat russell in equal machinery
lando wont beat leclerc in eual machinery either
lando norris isn’t championship material i agree
mclaren has given him all the tools available to give,
priority, support, fast car, main driver but still piastri is slaughtering him
My twitter feed is filled with lando fans accusing Oscar of intentionally slowing down in his outlap to “sabotage Norris “ in quali 💀💀
What 💀
i mean tbf, Russell did beat him in equal machinery back in 2018...
IM BACK
Well I wouldn’t use the word “slaughter”
and he's still #1 in leaderboard
the important thing is to be #1 not how you get into there
Bro has charged teams 😭😭
I haven't i haven't, i just opened my eyes
Atleast not yet
Bro what 😭
I said what I said
You have changed teams tho
Bro what, unless you're talking about driver roles, no i haven't changed my team role
You had number 4 before
Yeah and?
Why did you switch lol
😆
I Wasnt having it
On May 8, Ollie Bearman will turn 20 Years Old
Don‘t forget to follow and like for daily F1 memes!
@theformulameme 🔥
@theformulameme 🔥
🎥: Reddit (Zoshi2200)
NO WAY
unc bearman
I need Bearman to say "ciao" everytime he overtakes. That should be his thing
yeah!
Hehe
that was the most annoying thing ever bruh dont encourage ts
Qatar 23
coldest mf to ever exist
Honestly, Ollie saying that caught our Attention when we watch
what if instead of formula 1, we called it formula freak, and instead of raining water, what if it's raining oil that road gets slippier?
wrong channel
MSB is always in the camera angle wtf is wrong with this guy.
He won't be after saudi that's a guarantee
we'll see
if piastri was genuinely that quick he would have just passed lando on track lol
everyone on the pit wall said you needed around 8-9 tenths per lap advantage to overtake in suzuka
piastri was always lapping the same as NOR and VER, Japan was just a dirty air drag race
Suzuka sometimes can be a bit Difficult to overtake
Carlos says Suzuka is almost like Monaco
norris got close a million times to max and had to back off because the dirty air throughout the corners was too much
piastri would have ran into the same issue
and ultimately he just wasnt faster than norris
Now imagine, Can Oscar go faster again like Lando for this Week
We had so far Two Driver disqualified for Excessive Skid Block
Lewis in Shanghai: DSQ for excessive plank wear
Nico in Bahrain: DSQ for worn skid block
’sometimes’ and ‘a bit’ are understatements
in 2019 and prior it wasn't bad
okay maybe 2019 was bad but before then overtaking wasn't an issue
lots of battles
whens this getting renamed
Soon
that's why people enjoyed the race
and why the japanese gp has been a staple
it didn't used to be a season finale for nothing
I think the Last Time we got a Team disqualified was 2019 Japanese Grand Prix
yeah
When Renault is having a Brake Bias
That's why 2025 Chinese Grand Prix marks the First Time a Team gets disqualified
Skid Block Worn
It's the Second Time we had that since Lewis in Shanghai
Uhm, last two years at Jeddah, Oscar has out-qualified Lando 👀
And finished ahead of him both times
Right
And Oscar has a better state of mind with that momentum compared to Lando's concerning comments
Not to mention Jeddah has low overtakes so it will probably be difficult for whoever qualifies behind
Max 4 Years when he pass the Mosque gets a Team Order to give Lewis the Position back
Gianpiero Lambiase: Max? Max! Umm, So let's give the position back to Hamilton. So do that strategicly. Give the position back
I think it's "He just brake tested me"
Max was like: Yeah, Mate check my Tyre" when Gianpiero Lambiase had no idea what's going on
GP says "I don't know what's going on here, Max. He cancel letting pass. He's not going to pass"
why are people still clowing ferrari for putting on hards
That doesn’t make sense
they have a fresh set of hards and 3 sets of used softs from quali
Well it confused GP
Like he had no idea what's happening
Especially when Max accidentally had Lewis hit him in the Back when GP "Give it back"
new softs would degrade after 12-14 laps behind dirty air and people expect ferrari to put them on for 20
even russell, whom benefitted from leclerc holding up norris thought the softs werent very ideal to go racing for that long

anyways
?
yeah
it got deleted
He just post an Inappropriate GIF
if you can check logs
did anyone screenshot it?
erm
Why would we?
we were stun locked
Not Allowed, Sorry
lol
I can only see them on computer, unfortunately
They got banned, that's why it got deleted.
Right
thank you
anyways im still mad that people are sticking to the "ferrari strategy" stereotype
ok they blunder like 1-2 races per year, some teams do too
like mclaren
ferrari strategy was pretty spot on in bahrain ngl
there were nothing they can do
3 new sets they spared are used
just because they were on the alt strat doesnt mean they fucked up
hards for middle stint could have been better but they looked to others driving on hards and made the choice to save for low fuel pushing
if not for a safety car, it would have been fine
Fastest pitstops 4th race in a row
Jeddah should be awesome for Ferrari
Charles be like: The Track is like Mario Kart 2.0
mercedes on flat tracks are not to be messed with
ferrari might still be 3rd fastest due to rear limitations
its very frustrating that they dont bring back that medium downforce rear wing they usually ran last year
instead going for the centerline spoon wing
that car needs too much understanding
jumping ship to support the other leclerc
You mean coldtracks
flat and cold
i mean idk how the window is for mercedes atm but its way better than last year
they dont suddenly get good when its colder anymore
Really hope we can get a podium
I love how u laugh to norris like if other drivers didnt make mistakes (without counting Verstappen)
like he got one 1st, 2 2nds and 1 3rd thats insane results no matter what you say
piastri got a 2 point race thats way worse than doing 3rd and 2nd consistenly
important thing is to be consistent, not be 1st for 3 Weekends and then spin next race and lose all the advantage
its just a funny video its not that deep 💔
game's gone
norris' issue seems to be he beats himself up too much after every mistake
knocks his confidence too much
is that the steel of a champion?
pace wise its possible, mentality wise i dont
piastri winning a title before norris, ive been saying it all along
multiple titles.
the problem norris has is this
piastri is faster AND mentally stronger
i think pace wise theyre on a fairly even pegging, some races piastri's faster, some races it's norris
he is in real trouble, norris has to grow balls , he is not a kid anymore
i still think norris is faster when he doesnt fumble
pace is nothing without control
and norris doesnt seem to have control of it
very very few races I have seen him really take command of a race like piastri did in bahrain,
piastri was under 0 pressure from lights out to SC to end of race
but with norris you could see he struggles when questions are put to him, its like he is forced to be a champion when himself doesnt belive it
When the SC took away his 7 second lead he just built another 12 second one lmao
Ice cold
lmao
mclaren have a choice to make
every team has a #1 driver
its up to mclaren to make the choice over norris
I think Zak tried to leave it up to them and Norris is crumbling under the pressure
Oscar is doing just fine
there would be a day where piastri needs to be ahead and they will have to tell norris to give the position
That won’t happen anytime soon, if not all at
They’ve got a decent buffer in both championships but McLaren will focus more on WCC if they feel like driving for the WDC is a risk
that's not happening until like 2/3rds of the way through the season
and only if he has a significant margin
McLaren literally have everything in their court right now
the only way this fucks up is if the car falls off a cliff with the spain rule change and tbh McLaren are not stupid enough to be unprepared for the flexi wing change
it'll help Red Bull undoubtedly, but McLaren will still probably be the fastest
How?
Faster?
Norris and piastri are 2-2 atm wdym faster
💀
I don’t think it will help rb at all every other team is still faster they were barely faster than alpine in Bahrain
Also the qualifying gaps are less than a tenth apart
1-2 you mean
We done 4 races king
Norris has won 1
1-2 doesnt equal 4
Piastri won 2
talking about who was in front
Wins dont matter
what matter is being in front of your opponent
Then it’s 1-3
2-2
since when
Ok I pull my statement, I was thinking the Chinese sprint
And Piastri beat Norris then
they're about equal, it's just that Norris has been inconsistant
which is hard to judge anyway over 4 races
it's not really a substantial sample size
No shit sprint dont count cause if ur faster in the normal race, you should be faster in the sprint too
Inconsistent? Id say 1 2 2 3 is quite consistent
all podiums
Except you usually take different setups and strategies into sprints over full GP’s
Norris is the only driver rn to have got a podium every single race
how is that not being consistent?
It’s consistent but whenever Piastri makes mistakes he’s like eh, shit happens
When Norris makes them he’s very depressed
As the year goes on and the buffer decreases the pressure will build on Norris
For Piastri he won’t care
Only place he folded was in a sprint where he lost what 5 points?
Thats like ending 2nd not that deep
You saw how Norris changed after it was confirmed the WDC was settled last year
Piastri is just pure ice, not bothered by anything, he’s only sworn in a race twice
You are missing the point
we cant say somebody have more chances than somebody else
Piastri will have the mental the longer the season goes on, if Piastri takes the lead in Jeddah Norris has to stew on the fact his junior is ahead of him
Going into Miami where it took Norris 6 years to win a race
Thats what u think
you could say that as he's 2nd the pressure will now be in piastri
To hold the championship
Missed the point again
so norris will be more chill
He’s shown no matter his highs and lows he’s ice
thats for unlucky reasons...
Norris won’t be chill, he’ll take it hard and odds are it will effect him the more mistakes he makes
idk atm piastri mistakes were more big
yet norris is considered as the inconsistent one
Piastri has made one big mistake and at the end of the race he was disappointed but didn’t give two shits
Sigh, nevermind
Found a brick wall
He gave two shits
just that he didnt show it
Ice is what separates one driver from the next.
its clear he was angry u aint going as crazy into overtaking the ferrari in those fast turns if ur not pissed w life
ice is what makes u spin
if the track is like ice, u dont have grip
yeah i mean he had nothing to lose at that point
was p10, got p9 with that
good job
mental fortitude is impossible to predict in the long run anyway
yes
what matters is that, currently, in the dry, oscar looks stronger
also why so much yap? Russell and verstappen are also candidates
mustang mentioned 🔥🦅💯
more news at 12
i mean verstappen is way ahead than the other 19 drivers
if they have a competent car he will win no matter what
Norris is never going to win a race again so long piastri is around

Norris will win races again but Piastri will be more likely to send it and be aggressive for the win over Norris rather if they were the other way around (Unless Norris has a very clear pace advantage)
I think if Oscar win, That could lead him to lead the Drivers Champions
well yeah, that’s what would mathematically happen if he wins in saudi
no matter the other results
Indeed
Ollie for me might not repeat P7 like Last Year because that he is in Haas
P9 likely
Last Year ahead of Sprint of Formula 2, Ollie withdraw and vacant his Seat to filled in Carlos
And he became the First British Driver to race with Ferrari since Eddie Irvine
(Lewis supposed to be the First British Driver to race with Ferrari since Eddie)
Irvine is Irish
Because FIA forced him to
Right then
Dhishddugd
FP1 starts after my exams are finished 🎉
Congratulations!
I am very hoping this suffering week ends soon! While also attempting to make my grades the best!
You'll do great, just have faith and fun with the studies!
I'm not a Norris fan either, but hating him so much just because Piastri is apparently such a "sweet and calm guy" shows the level of F1 knowledge by his haters. Showing your temper does not make you a bad driver, there's plenty of those around - Hamilton, Verstappen, Schumacher, Senna, Tsunoda, Vettel and even the "Ice Man" Raikkonen. If one don't like a driver then so be it, but don't put your own tag around his neck.
I think he suffers from more than just the comparison to Piastri tbh but also he didn’t skin anyone’s puppy either
The difference is that those mentioned didnt let their temper affect their performance, whereas its quite clear that Norris is very affected by himself
To be honest most of the people hates him because of his comments, especially in 2024
For example Brazil the most common one
How can you say that a p17->p1 performance was luck ?
When he even bottled the red flag ?
(un)smooth operator 🗣️🔥
tries to be "nice guy"
say unhinged thoughts
said thoughts blown up by media
fans turns hater
cries
who's at fault?
people have been ridiculing verstappen for saying mean things for a while
Just the other day i was wondering why is there so much hate for norris
no one really defends him because at least there are some truth to it
and not like he cares
Also I don't understand people who were saying that it was Max's fault at japan
Apparently pitlane exit
lmao
Won the race probs
"expensive lawnmower"
dumb crybabies doesnt know racing rules
Fr
if you're ahead you're ahead
not to mention its putlane exit
norris wasnt even in fast lane
look at leclerc v verstappen 2019
Remember when Max overtook somebody in the pitlane and Checo just watched
Did anyone even say that …?
Yes on insta lmfao 💀
Nah ignore them
God it’s been annoying as a lando fan this week
So many apparent pundits online
Ikr lol
Jack at almost ⅓ of Albon's last season.
"Hulkenburg"
I'm assuming floor in Australia?
i sure do love the Racing Bulls driver “None”
Makes sense
No idea what Oscar did in pre season testing.
*
Front wing from Shanghai?
my goat back on his way to win something
Why is Pierre below none
