monaco-gp

[snow swan]

what

[lilac rose]

Both are true.

[raw plaza]

nah i think how max approaches each battle is diff

[pseudo quail]

Piastri’s better at the overtakes too. Norris hesitates too much

[snow swan]

how is Oscar in Max’s head

[radiant scarab]

Just talking feature race qualies

[raw plaza]

yea hes not

[lilac rose]

No one's in Max's head lol

[pseudo quail]

Doesn’t give in to max’s methods

[radiant scarab]

Mbs is

[snow swan]

That just means piastri has balls

[radiant scarab]

His big hairdo

[snow swan]

And doesn’t take Max’s bs

[radiant scarab]

His perfect beard

[pseudo quail]

Well yeah

[lilac rose]

Wwl

[snow swan]

That doesn’t mean max is seething over it

[fickle forum]

i think max couldn't care less

[pseudo quail]

Doesn’t have to be seething to be in his head

[raw plaza]

u can see how much norris hesitates with max

[sly badger]

Lando is probably the new Mansell

[raw plaza]

max always comes out on top if hes as fast

[radiant scarab]

I think he pretends he doesn't care but half his grumpiness is down to the emergence of Oscar this year as a potential wdc

[radiant scarab]

He can never grow a mustache like that

[lilac rose]

We've not seen him go against George

[raw plaza]

what are u yapping

[raw plaza]

merc dont have a car

[radiant scarab]

What part confused you Anushka Sharma

[fickle forum]

not potential, with the mclaren this year it's an easy wdc

[pseudo quail]

Can’t remember but I feel like hes made George back out of corners before

[lilac rose]

True

[snow swan]

Max said it himself he’s done everything he truly cared about

[raw plaza]

if max goes to merc who gets kicked kimi or george

[snow swan]

I don’t think the WDC means THAT much

[snow swan]

George lmao

[fickle forum]

nah it's because redbull is a mess, sometimes pace sometimes not

[raw plaza]

maybe red bull and merc will swap max and george

[lilac rose]

Greorge ain't going anywhere

[raw plaza]

hmm

[lilac rose]

He's in his prime rn

[fickle forum]

apparently what made max crash out was because the team thought he would get 5sec for turn 1 so he needed to give the position

[radiant scarab]

Max has only shown up this year when reputations have been on the line
Honda tribute at suzuka
Redbull 400th at imola
When's the next one

[snow swan]

Dutch

[pseudo quail]

I don’t think he cared that it was redbull’s 400th

[mellow lance]

imagine Max having an engine Failure at his Home GP 💀

[radiant scarab]

His finest moments were probably Saudi qualies q3 and imola overtake at turn 1
Simply lovely

[pseudo quail]

He seemed surprised he could outbrake Piastri like he did

[fickle forum]

it's not mercedes we're talking about here don't worry

[mellow lance]

pain

[raw plaza]

must have been a gut punch to red bull when fia released they would have not done anything

[lilac rose]

Biggest mistake from Redbull last race

[fickle forum]

scuderia redbull in the making

[pseudo quail]

Seemed like they used it to campaign for the Fia to give teams an ultimatum before issuing a penalty. Either give back the place or guaranteed penalty.

[raw plaza]

Max is evolving

[radiant scarab]

I get it though, you try to be a man and you remain stoic through all the bullshit until you snap and do something you instantly regret
Virtue signallers and g*orge enthusiasts be damned, I'm still a max guy, probably always will be
The team's been yanking him around all year

[pseudo quail]

So how has McLaren not had an engine failure hmmmmm

[kind gate]

im going to zandvoort don’t jinx it 😭

[mellow lance]

sryyyyyyyyyy

[sly badger]

Best cooling from their chassis?

[pseudo quail]

Or sabotage

[radiant scarab]

His Ferrari arc will be complete then

[raw plaza]

maybe merc should investigate their engine section in their factory what engine theyve been giving mclaren

[fickle forum]

swap merc and mclarens engines overnight

[radiant scarab]

Merge them back so we can stick to 10 teams next year

[fickle forum]

petronas mclaren amg f1 team

[radiant scarab]

🤢

I regret everything

[raw plaza]

ngl fuck mclaren give max and lewis the same machinery and lets have a 24 race shootout with just them

[radiant scarab]

Imagine papaya orange with patronas green-blue

[fickle forum]

locked setups

[radiant scarab]

24-0

[radiant scarab]

Hards-only

[raw plaza]

man oscar will match leclercs win

the only diff is most of leclercs wins are from slower car

[lilac rose]

Both Lando and Oscar will this year

[raw plaza]

nah oscar gonna 22-2 landos ass(capping)

[radiant scarab]

How many wins does Charles have

[lilac rose]

8

[radiant scarab]

Oscar at 7 and lando at 6 right now

[radiant scarab]

Oh damn just like ricci

[fickle forum]

8 time world champion charles leclerc

[pseudo quail]

Nah stroll’s winning all the rest from next race. He got his villain arc on after being eliminated this race

[radiant scarab]

Max*

[neat latch]

Guys i just realized something

[lilac rose]

Nope

[radiant scarab]

Yes Oscar is the favorite to win this year

[neat latch]

No not that

[raw plaza]

if i was a betting man i would bet on oscar

[neat latch]

It's about Max's penalty points

[fickle forum]

if only they kept danny, then zak could still go on about his wonder kid lando

[lilac rose]

I'm betting on McLaren for the constructors

[neat latch]

The constructors is done lmao

[radiant scarab]

Back down to 9 on June 30 don't worry

[raw plaza]

red bull will become backmarkers if max does any shennanigans this month

[fickle forum]

that's already finished pretty much

[raw plaza]

im being fr i dont expect them to even exit q1

[neat latch]

Remember when Oscar gave max that penalty in Saudi?

[raw plaza]

was penalty given ?

i thought only 5 sec

[neat latch]

Yeah

Those give penalty points

[lilac rose]

No

[raw plaza]

i think red bull will tell him not be carefull thiss month

[neat latch]

Really?

[lilac rose]

Last

[raw plaza]

i dont think he got pen points for saudi

[neat latch]

Damn

[raw plaza]

i think this race was his first pen points this year

[lilac rose]

Last one from Abu dhabi

When Max maxed all over Piastri

[raw plaza]

ngl just say the fuck mbs in next week thiursday and just take this month off

[lilac rose]

Or did he get some for going slow or something?

[raw plaza]

for impeding george

[neat latch]

I was thinking Oscar could take advantage of Max's penalty points so he can give max a race ban in the favor of his championship

[raw plaza]

which was bullshit imo

[raw plaza]

damn if only oscar was fia

[forest dock]

He does it with every driver his race craft is meh.

[raw plaza]

what u on about

[lilac rose]

Championship mentality from George

[raw plaza]

😭

[lilac rose]

He's a really conservative driver

[forest dock]

They currently have way better car then RBR have and Verstappen is nearly always ahead.

[raw plaza]

both mclaren drivers are which is why this champioship fight gonna be so boring

[neat latch]

Oscar isn't conservative

[raw plaza]

bro are u just looking at my msgs 😭

[neat latch]

It's just that Lando doesn't have that dawg in him

[lilac rose]

Much more than Max or gorge

[neat latch]

To fight Oscar

[fickle forum]

max and oscar have a similar defending & attacking style, george is more conservative if anything i'd say

[forest dock]

He also got hit twice and was forced to drive on shitty hards it all added up.

[lilac rose]

He can if he gets his qualifying back

[raw plaza]

he had bad qualis and last race he had a pace defeciet

[neat latch]

If he loses P1 on turn one then he can't

[raw plaza]

oscar has improved his qualis tho hes doing everything he needs to do every race qualifuying top 3

[lilac rose]

Not every quali, but yeah he has improved

[raw plaza]

i mean the only quali he looked to be struggling was monaco

[neat latch]

He has 3 more wins than lando this season and qualifying is 4-5 like it's a pretty obvious improvement

[fickle forum]

these days it feels like qualifying does not matter massively anymore, as long as you're on one of the front 2 rows

race pace is where its at

[neat latch]

When Last season it was 20-4

[lilac rose]

Also shows Lando has regressed

[raw plaza]

its the closest driver pairing in the grid it can go either way each weekend only if they get their toes out constructors pov they can afford risks not like ferrari are a wcc threat

[neat latch]

Nah, just shows that Lando has stayed the same

While Oscar has gotten better

[neat fern]

Idk think Oscar has improved I think Lando just hasn’t be able to quali with this car

[lilac rose]

He can't put a lap together like he used to.

[raw plaza]

maybe the pressure from the other garage also affected him this weekend also shows that oscar didnt get fazed much after monaco

[lilac rose]

I think it's more technical.

[fickle forum]

sometimes, a new track record at monaco is also something

[raw plaza]

nah i believe pressure affects lando more than it does to oscar

[forest dock]

Not really he tries to overtake way to often which just loose him time instead of be patient and wait for simple overtake which you can do if you have dominant car.

[pseudo quail]

I think Russell just needs to repeat what he did in Qatar and that’s one point for max

[raw plaza]

the car is good its just oscar has adapted much more better

that just shows his growth

and he can improve so much more thats what scary abt oscar

[neat latch]

Oscar's adaptability is insane like bro won everything instantly before F1 like it's insane

[forest dock]

He kinda is but in smart way he knows how to take full advantage of dominant car unlike Lando.

[lilac rose]

Lando also had more pressure than Piastri last year. He still beat him. So it doesn't prove anything

[raw plaza]

oscar 2nd season.

he lacked in quali pace

which he fixed this year

thats it

[lilac rose]

You gain pace on track. Not off season

At a certain point in a drivers career, they flatten in pace

[raw plaza]

hmmm he worked and trained he def looked at data and saw what he could improve on,lando

[forest dock]

It was the fastest car that has ever been to Monaco ofcourse it break the lap record.

[raw plaza]

whats so hard to say oscar has improved ?

[lilac rose]

He has improved on track.

[raw plaza]

oscar is the leader for a reason

and lando sint

[forest dock]

He also handles pressure much better Norris.

[pseudo quail]

Oscar still is beating lando this year on quali, doesn’t matter where he improved

[fickle forum]

true but you have to play with single digit centimeter margins

[lilac rose]

True. Will do him good if he keeps it up

[raw plaza]

the past is irrelevant they are both fighting for a wdc this year and oscar is doing really good

[neat latch]

Even if he's barely beating him, Lando was dominating him past years, now He's being beaten

[pseudo quail]

Piastri outscored max and lando in European races last year

[raw plaza]

last year 20-4 is not really significant for a 2nd year oscar was not 3 tenths off on avg he was 1 tenths of norris

[pseudo quail]

If that means much he’s got a better time this year

[lilac rose]

Then regressed after

Long season. Anything can happen

[raw plaza]

last year is not this year

[pseudo quail]

It can give him a better gap to defend from lando then

[neat latch]

Brother he has won in tracks that he wasn't good at

[raw plaza]

last year he qualified 10th in spain

lando pole

who has won in spain again @lilac rose ?

[fickle forum]

nikita mazepin

[neat latch]

Latifi

[mellow lance]

Maldonado

[lilac rose]

Doesn't automatically mean he'll win every race. That's not how F1 works. Norris was shit at Monaco last year, Piastri was better. Look at this year. Does that mean Norris is gonna win every race? No.

[raw plaza]

i expect both of them to win races but i think at the end oscar will win (my opinin but anything can happen)

[lilac rose]

I think it's gonna be a tossup

[raw plaza]

max could win canada

who knows\

[radiant scarab]

5 races to 2, ain't no mother flipping toss up

[fickle forum]

problem is now all drivers know they can be aggressive towards max because he can't do anything back for 2 races

[radiant scarab]

I'd like to see them try

[raw plaza]

💀max should be like fuck it let’s take a vacation

Red bull ain’t gonna score without me

[fickle forum]

spend some more time with his daughter

[radiant scarab]

Spend some more time as Franz Hermann

That platinum license isn't going to earn itself

[raw plaza]

Let frank herman drive

[fickle forum]

oh my it would be hilarious if he spends a gp weekend just driving at the nordschleife giving 0 focks

[raw plaza]

He should ask frank herman to drive instead of him until June ends

[radiant scarab]

Isn't lemans 24 coming up

[fickle forum]

franz still got 0 license points don't worry he can replace

[raw plaza]

but it’s in Canada he can’t get penalty b4 then

Unless max goes to social media and types “fuck mbs”

[fickle forum]

€50k for touching feelings

[raw plaza]

When mbs says why don’t fia get same salary as drivers/teams i laughed doesn’t he know fia is a non profit organisation

[fickle forum]

oh yeah i got that saved

this man is the biggest clown in the whole paddock

[lilac rose]

MBS gained class consciousness

[snow swan]

He doesn't know anything about F1 he just makes stupid rules

[radiant scarab]

It doesn't make sense to me that I'm poor and Jeff bezos is rich it just doesn't make sense I'm the in paying for Amazon prime how can this make sense

[fickle forum]

i don't even get what he means by the fia owns the championship, it's almost like he's trying to say all the cars used are his too

weird guy with too much money to spend, not suited for the position at all

dude should be doing everything in passion for the sport and he worries about earnings

[stiff bough]

the fia own the championship, thats all it means

its the fia's sport at the end of the day

which is why even if fom and fia split, fom cant take the f1 name and anything associated with it, with them

[pseudo quail]

Just name it f1b, then when the original f1 is dead buy it for $1 and rename

[radiant scarab]

Rename it to recipe 1

Or

Method 1

Prescription 1

Blueprint 1

[fickle forum]

amazing

[snow swan]

Is George a literal crash out and be honest

[fickle forum]

i know but i'm not sure what he wants to tell us with that, you never know with that man

[stiff bough]

just to sound intimidating is my best guess

[fickle forum]

he sounds so lost 😭 🙏

i juts hope there is a way of sainz getting through but it's very unlikely

[radiant scarab]

F1 is an Arab sport now, sorry folks

I'm a little amazed Emirates doesn't sponsor a team

[tired hound]

he prbly did in fact crash out at his team

[blissful orbit]

holy shit

& it is a very reliable source

[thin berry]

Keeping the streak 🔥

[serene rock]

No I don’t think it is

[radiant scarab]

Weekend after next

10 days to fp1

[karmic turtle]

if Valtteri replaces Lance instead of Felipe for the next race

[neat latch]

It's going to be Felipe

[karmic turtle]

I think is a good sign for Felipe to start thinking about effing off of Aston Martin

[neat latch]

He already said he's going to sacrifice wec if he gets the call

[karmic turtle]

I know, but there are rumours that Valtteri is the favourite

[sonic epoch]

Tbf Bottas is the better option

[karmic turtle]

No

Felipe deserves his chance

Bottas already had a stint in F1

[light belfry]

nah we need the bottas fan service

let him cook

[neat latch]

He already posted his butt, that's enough fanservice for decades

[west yoke]

lando win in canada we will be there

[lavish ore]

bottas steps in and gets a podium

i'd cry

[pseudo quail]

Is it just me or is stroll’s injury bs this time

Seems like his dad pulled him out to punish him for the outburst

[cosmic fjord]

L A T I F I

[gusty sequoia]

Lets see if max get a race ban

[cosmic fjord]

Yesss

[radiant scarab]

I doubt this is what happened but there is always a chance he's faking it
Maybe the fia has protocols in place for this type of thing, like submission of medical reports to ensure validity, who knows

[gusty sequoia]

Cuz boy that was so funny of seeing his crashout in spain

[cosmic fjord]

Yep

[pseudo quail]

I think they can pull out drivers when they want. Iirc alonso skipped a race to go do Indycar. They probably do a press release just giving some reasons for the sake of keeping pr up

[alpine canopy]

Hello

[radiant scarab]

Crazy

FIA wants to be taken seriously they need to clamp down on bs like this if you ask me

NFL is a tightly run ship and this crap doesn't fly, even if your franchise is worth 15 billion dollars

FIA needs to learn

Fine the teams not just the drivers

(They won't)

[pseudo quail]

For what?

Seems fine if they pull out a driver. Their loss, and they usually are motivated to get a replacement in asap. The teams aren’t that careless about their performances either

[radiant scarab]

Nah this just seems wishy washy as hell man, I watch a lot of pro sports and some of the things that happen in f1 are just lols

Need to adhere to a stricter code

[pseudo quail]

It’s a different sport so it sounds fine

I don’t think they need the same standard for these matters

[radiant scarab]

End of the day you want to put out the most professional product you can and 19 CAR RACE JUMP SCARE ain't it

At least not without clarity on what happened

"He beat up the equipment"
"Oh but that's not why he broke his hand"
"Oh no he never beat anything up"
Bruh

I know it's not that deep because it's stroll and Aston and who cares what happens to them but like it's still amateur hour

[pseudo quail]

They said it was hand injury so that satisfies that surely

[radiant scarab]

This doesn't

[pseudo quail]

It’s a different standard to other sports there’s no problem with 19 cars

[radiant scarab]

Anyway I get it, F1 isn't as popular and FIA isn't as rich, yadayada

[pseudo quail]

They’ve had drivers not start because of broken chassis

[radiant scarab]

Naw I get it if it's a legit reason but this is open to speculation and that's weird

Just tell us what happened exactly or let me assume lil bro just wanted a holiday prior to his home race

Which is probably what happened😂

[pseudo quail]

Officially there’s all the reasons to satisfy that though

[radiant scarab]

Okay so how long is the recovery?

[pseudo quail]

No idea depends on whoever

[radiant scarab]

Yeah medical diagnosis in the sporting world always comes with a recovery timeline

[sudden jetty]

?

[pseudo quail]

On the surface level the average fan isn’t going to read about stroll’s alleged outburst

[radiant scarab]

Anyway, let the billionaires do their billionaire things, I'm chilling

[radiant scarab]

And that's why F1 will never be as big as football

Anyway, not bashing just wishing they'd tighten this shi up

[sudden jetty]

its grown in popularity since liberty's takeover thats for sure

but ofc it wont be bigger than football lol

its so easy for kids to pick up a ball and start kicking it around

[radiant scarab]

I don't deny it, and liberty is just in charge of the marketing not the sport itself, but that's not all it takes to run something like this

[sudden jetty]

that story is vastly different with motorsports

[pseudo quail]

No it’s less popular because it’s a rich person sport. Football is a lot more relatable than this

[supple bolt]

YEAH!!! WOO!!! 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

The thing is, soccer is more accessible, you just need a ball and stuff that replicate a goal-post, that's it

[pseudo quail]

Why take away this freedom? It’s not hurting anything. The sport has enough reputation to survive that, and I don’t see any kind of harm the stroll incident can cause, because it’s so rare already

[radiant scarab]

Waiting patiently for you guys to realize I meant NFL football and not soccer 😇

I don't think anything takes down soccer in our lifetimes

[pseudo quail]

Same thing

A lot easier to get into that sport than racing

[radiant scarab]

I guess the point still stands that it's easier and more accessible to grab a ball and play football than it is to race a car

[sudden jetty]

obviously lmfao

its common sense

[radiant scarab]

But from a growth perspective, with F1 eyeing up American markets for further and explosive growth, I'm just saying F1 is not up to scratch

[pseudo quail]

This is a tiny issue

If they want to grow

[sudden jetty]

it already has

[radiant scarab]

The presentation is awkward, the banter is cringey and the rules are loose

[sudden jetty]

11.1 Million Viewers on youtube

thats pretty significant

[pseudo quail]

Football (non US) is controversial too

[sudden jetty]

and growing

[pseudo quail]

Just after each match you can find anyone complaining about the referee’s decisions

[radiant scarab]

Nah that's controversy, controversy is good for sport, it drives fan engagement, either current or future (as long as it's about the sport itself)

But this lance thing is just weird and unprofessional

[hard bison]

.

aww yeaaaa we w/ hamiltooooon

[pseudo quail]

Btw is the nfl fine for missing a match given by the org or the team? Can’t find much on google

[radiant scarab]

I'm sure fans of his want to know if they should go to the Canadian gp so they can have a chance to see their guy and there's no proper statement on it

This is the type of unprofessionalism that makes the sport look bad in my opinion

And would it be the same if it was anyone but the billionaires son

[radiant scarab]

We w/ ferrari

[hard bison]

hell yea

[mortal prairie]

sometimes i watch stephen a smith rant even though i dont follow the NBA or NFL just because it's hilarious to listen to

[pseudo quail]

At most the driver hurts the team but does it matter if his dad owns the team?

[radiant scarab]

There are suspensions that players serve, imposed by both teams and the league itself, if that's what you mean

[radiant scarab]

I liked this meme more when it was about redbull😔

[pseudo quail]

Ah ok so the league punishes teams for not bringing their main players?

[hard bison]

lol

[radiant scarab]

Yes if it's without good reason

[pseudo quail]

Ok

Sounds like an nfl matter than f1 doesn’t need to worry about

[radiant scarab]

So if it's an injury, it needs to be reported within the set guidelines (injured area, diagnosis, return schedule)

If it's a personal matter then there's different guidelines

[pseudo quail]

The teams are given freedom in f1 because they lose on PR and in race result if they don’t bring their main driver

[radiant scarab]

Ultimately the fans lose out and that's not the way you grow your sport

[pseudo quail]

No they don’t

[radiant scarab]

I don't even want to get into the gambling aspects of it

[pseudo quail]

No one cared about this except for those of us that read bbc articles

Or wherever it’s reported

[radiant scarab]

I don't read those and I care about it

I don't even support aston

[pseudo quail]

Yeah I’m telling it’s a non issue or the Fia or liberty media would have fixed it by now

[radiant scarab]

Would they have lol

[pseudo quail]

Yeah

They’ve been ‘fixing’ issues elsewhere

[radiant scarab]

All the FIA seems to be worried about is it's payouts

Tighten up and get paid doing it is all I'm saying

[pseudo quail]

They’ve gone on about swearing, which is a more controversial issue already

[radiant scarab]

On a terrible roundabout way that didn't really fix anything, just ended in a stalemate and pissed everyone off

You can swear if you're in a race but nowhere else

And you can never speak ill of the FIA

[pseudo quail]

It’s hurt their reputation more than ignoring it

[radiant scarab]

Bro what, who said anything about speaking I'll of the FIA lol

They did it in a dumb way which is my point, fia is not on point with how it handles things

[snow swan]

Are Kick Sauber on a roll with Nico?
(I am hoping Gabriel can score points too)

[tame plover]

https://youtu.be/LTO9Ogk32QQ max onboard

[radiant scarab]

Back to P14 and p18 in Canada don't worry

[pseudo quail]

Yea but they’re still doing what they can to appeal to the global audience and they still wouldn’t find this issue worth thinking about

[radiant scarab]

If you say so then:)

[spare glacier]

wait could this actually mean something

[limpid geode]

He's going to ferrari right

[sudden jetty]

i dont think it means much tbh

i wouldnt read into things like that

[radiant scarab]

Yeah I mean for all we know it's a tactic from Russell's camp to pressure Merc into quicker negotiations

See it all the time

[radiant scarab]

Not this never this

[gleaming dagger]

Oh no, George removed Mercedes from his bio… that obviously means he’s leaving F1, joining Red Bull, Ferrari, and maybe starting his own team while he’s at it. Totally not just a bored edit or a social media cleanup. Nope, this is definitely how major career moves are announced now

Sometimes a bio update is just a bio update

[radiant scarab]

[daring berry]

honestly thought people would give up on stroll atp

[daring berry]

it wasnt the drivers fault so it wouldnt be his fault

[snow swan]

do you ever get tired defending stroll @daring berry

[magic pollen]

You underestimate Stroll's abilities

[daring berry]

no because i only do it when it is actually worth defending

[daring berry]

yes the stroll fan underestimates strolls abilities

[snow swan]

cause that makes 100% sense

[daring berry]

no he's done a lot of things that are indefensible

Papa stroll doesn’t have much or even any say on who gets the wec seats. Those seats belong to Heart of Racing because they spent the money to test the car and also run the program

[long rampart]

hope Bortoleto and Hulkenberg get used to the car with upgrades and score points in Montreal 🥰

[gentle acorn]

sorry my mistake

I have dementia

but the question is still there

[pseudo quail]

Lmao

What

[chilly osprey]

Guys. Hear me out. I think the best solution for making f1 great again is simple:

-Bring back the 2004 cars, place the Halo on the cockpit for safety reasons and use Bridgestone slick tyres.

Its a good idea? Yes.
Its possible? No.

Even with bad circuits like Miami and Saudi Arabia on the calendar, i belive if these changes got applied it would make racing good.

[fervent wind]

its not rawe ceek 😔💔

[gentle acorn]

Apologies for being stupid

[fervent wind]

Your apology is accepted simpleton

[thin berry]

Hey now

[sand apex]

You're an all star

[stiff bough]

what made the 2004 cars so great for racing

and we cant have refueling so you'd have to put a larger fuel tank in them, probably making them a little bit wider and longer

[chilly osprey]

But is not a big deal

Right?

[small steppe]

glazing refueling is crazy

it was unsafe AND boring

[chilly osprey]

No, i mean make the F1 2004 cars more wider for the fuel tank

[small steppe]

it negated all pitstop errors and fixacted strategy,so no drama

[small steppe]

wasn't it same width to current ines

[sand apex]

All I will say is it was funny to see failed refuelings

Shoutouts to De La Rosa for stealing the fuel hose that one time

[stiff bough]

well with modern tech refueling wouldnt be unsafe

[sand apex]

Gas station pumps already shut themselves off if you take the hose out of the car while pumping fuel, clearly F1 can do that right

[stiff bough]

they've they already had those quick release things, but also with indycar for example they give the car a spray of water after the hose is removed that way any bits that spilled out dont catch fire

[sand apex]

We never got #rate-the-gp 😔

[echo urchin]

plus those bridgestone tyres made it so you could basically push every lap without having to save tyre wear

[sand apex]

WE GOT RATE THE GP

[spark zealot]

Istg when I finally watch a race its boring as hell

When i dont watch them max gets 10s penalty

The beef with George gets only bigger

[feral lance]

spain was kinda boring

kimi was the only reason it was somewhat interesting

[sand apex]

People who say Spain was boring clearly aren't following backmarker and midfield races

The prime of Alonso's P10 fight may have been during the first 10 laps but it was never over

[stiff bough]

when the tv direction barely showed the midfield

[pseudo quail]

They showed it

There was the Lawson vs Albon fight

And alonso overtakes

[stiff bough]

swear to god i seen max and the mclarens just lapping around more than whatever lawson and alonso were doing

[pseudo quail]

Tbf the lapping was fun once max started getting an advantage from it

Else it’s usually just boring

[stiff bough]

and the lawson battles were mostly textbook overtakes on his part

[sand apex]

They did show it, they even showed the silly Lawson momenta

[blissful orbit]

rear limited track so Norris could be in contention. But lets see, another Piastri win could be coming

[sly badger]

Don't blame him, blame Sauber for giving him cooked strats

[sly badger]

That Stroll finally doesn't race and Drugovich goes to the seat

[sand apex]

He's at LeMans

I pray for Canadian Kubica

Worst that can happen is he spins out (as always)

Best that can happen is P1 home race

[sly badger]

Caddy and Drugovich still didn't confirm anything

If not Drugovich, at least Bottas or Vesti

[sand apex]

Iirc Vesti is also going to LeMans

So its down to Mercedes lending Bottas out

I still hope for Stroll home race

[sly badger]

Also, if Stroll doesn't come during the FP sessions, and just comes to qualifying just out of spite to pull the same move from Spain, can we all tell Stroll to fuck him and fuck off from F1?

[radiant scarab]

Oddly specific

But yes

You may

[sand apex]

We can tell him that any time 🚬

I do wonder if Liam has a performance clause in his contract

At this point does RB really lose anything by dragging idk, Pepe Marti and throwing him

Liam is clearly not gonna score points this season

Specially after blud got mangled around

Shoutouts to Helmut btw

[shrewd flare]

I think at this point, just remove RB second seat and ask FIA to give max double the points

(For constructors only)

[sand apex]

Horrible take I'm gonna ask the FIA to remove RBR in the first place just because of this

[shrewd flare]

🤣

[sand apex]

They should sell off RB tho they should not own two teams in the first place specially if its just to shitpost drivers in and ruin their career

[neat latch]

Stroll's injury is an interesting one

If he doesn't rest and rushes to come back there could be permanent damage

Career ending damage

Life changing damage

It's an interesting situation

[fair spoke]

stroll will probably race for canada though

thats what i think

[neat latch]

Yeah and hurt himself more than he did in 2023

Why do you think he's in this situation now?

Because instead of resting a recovering he went immediately to the car, now the same injury is back again and it's a bigger problem now and he has to undergo surgery again.

If he doesn't rest and recover enough this time there could be real consequences outside of F1, and I'm talking about his life

Why risk it?

[mossy axle]

what is known even

article?

[neat latch]

That it's the same injury from 2023

[sly badger]

Because he knows he's a fraud and that if someone races in his seat, he'll be easily replaceable

[mossy axle]

ok where is that info from

[neat latch]

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/breaking-aston-martin-announce-stroll-to-miss-spanish-grand-prix.4FI8kbD2YhaiuMDhXgW8KO

Literally here

[sacred ivy]

🤔

[mossy axle]

okay thanks

[neat latch]

Yeah I'm going to ruin my fucking life to try and prove myself even though i suck

[mossy axle]

but where is the career ending stuff rom

from

[neat latch]

The fact that the injury from 2 years ago is an issue now should be obvious why it could be career ending if it isn't treated well

If stroll or his dad rushes him to the car instead of recovering there could be massive consequences

[mossy axle]

hmmm

[tender cypress]

Yea he’s is trash anyways

[neat latch]

This shit is not Healed in 2 weeks

If he's back in Canada then gabagool

[neat latch]

He might be trash but this shit might genuinely ruin his life

He might be garbage but i atleast have some sympathy

[white minnow]

Same guy who has been FIAs biggest critic so therefore bias should be justified

Same with norris

[sand apex]

max glazers are insane, they just saw him purposefully hit another driver for no reason and getting the mildest penalty ever 😭

[fervent wind]

max fans who defend what he did are so corny

[sand apex]

anyways imma go back to questioning why dunne didn't get a race ban and why he got a 10 grid for one (1) race

[wet sequoia]

Penalty points

Whatever rule you break usually has a broad range of penalties to apply

[spare glacier]

👎

[spare glacier]

Perhaps exaggerated by hitting equipment in his garage

[spare glacier]

ikr

[manic vigil]

like i said it wasnt dsq worthy

stop and go was reasonable for the offense

10 seconds was lenient but fair enough

[spare glacier]

The crash was 100% his fault for sure, but if that had happened at any point in the race there wouldn't have been (as big of, at least) a pileup. He can't be blamed for that. 10x places is deserved and correct imo

[manic vigil]

now had he completely accelerated russell with his car into his side pod

now thats a dsq/raceban

but it was literally just wheel to wheel banging

and the speeds werent high enough to cause any real significant damage if any

[spare glacier]

I think a DSQ isn't out of the realms of possibility, but a stop-go would have been correct

[manic vigil]

dsq is extremely harsh

for an incident like that

ridiculously harsh

again

had he acclerated into his sidepod

[spare glacier]

It was a deliberate collision, even if at low speed it cannot be condoned

[manic vigil]

with his front wing

thats dsq and raceban

but this was just wheel to wheel banging

neither car got damage from it

10 seconds for that im totally fine with

and penalty points

its a good enough penalty and reminder that if he does something like that again he knows what the outcome will be

[spare glacier]

https://www.motorsport.com/fia-f2/news/ferrucci-handed-ban-for-deliberate-maini-hit-1057775/3137944/
something interesting I remembered

[torpid granite]

any news on canada gp?

[sand apex]

The 10 place only applied for the sprint, and in the end the major issue here was the fact he keeps thinking he can divebomb and do risky overtakes without consequence; even if you go just by the FIA guidelines that outcome doesn't matter but rather whether the rules were broken or not -- there is a section that specifies that driver past record is also taken into account

That said fuck Dunne and Max

[spare glacier]

its kind of an insult to other drivers who got the same pen tho.
bearman went off track and kept a position, and got the same penalty as a deliberate crash

[torpid granite]

is stroll gonna play?

[spare glacier]

no news yet in that regard

[manic vigil]

im so bored

lol

[hexed crest]

F1 isn’t a sport you “play”

[manic vigil]

you drive operate a highly performance open wheel racing vehicle

[spare glacier]

I believe the sprint + feature penalties are only for impeding? Correct me if I'm wrong
'he can divebomb and do risky overtakes without consequence' 10 places is completely a consequence, and a big one...
Dunne isn't really driving ridiculously

[torpid granite]

.. it doesn't matter because you understood what i meant 🤣

don't make a big deal out of nothing

[manic vigil]

i still don't think that penalty was worthy of a dsq

anyway

its over

[iron maple]

Max hitting Merc let Ferrari take 2nd in WCC even with the China double DQ 🙏

[sand apex]

Last weeks crash did count for both races

[spare glacier]

which one?

[sand apex]

The one with Martins on the pit lane

[spare glacier]

I'm not sure I do either, but as you say its in the past

[manic vigil]

and like i said another tamper tantrum and hes done for a race

[sand apex]

It all boils down to the FIA being weird and not applying penalties fairly sigh

[iron maple]

Time for him to get 1 point on a delta infraction and be banned for Austria

[manic vigil]

i think that's a warning to say hey knock this immature tamper tantrum hotheadness off or ur not gonna be able to partake in 1 of the upcoming events

whether or not it'll be taken seriously im not sure

[spare glacier]

Is there a precedent for grid penalties in the FR being carried just to the next weekend's SR, or is it normally applied for both? Did they do something different for Dunne?
That said they should be more consistent, and do either a 1x or 2x race pen, rather than see-sawing

I've not seen the Martins one so idk how bad it was, I don't have Sky

[hexed crest]

I’m warning you buddy I’m one of the last people you want to mess with

[torpid granite]

https://tenor.com/view/josh-hart-josh-hart-knicks-nyk-gif-967228367501856899

[sand apex]

I actually dont really know! But considering that he got a 3 grid on both races, I do wonder if this ambiguity comes from stewards or race directors unaware of the 2-race format or something similar

[sand apex]

OK this is funny as shit

[sudden light]

This is so reddit coded

[latent forge]

https://tenor.com/view/scary-tough-guy-gif-15385648026268226649

[pseudo quail]

Russell cutting the chicane in Monaco isn’t the same as other races because the Fia warned they’d apply harsher penalties for that chicane specifically, and he cut it anyway

[spare glacier]

Strange times

[spare glacier]

Yeah but the comparison is kinda ridiculous:

• 40s pen for an illegal overtake
• 30s pen for a deliberate collision under SC
• 10s pen for a deliberate collision under green flags

[pseudo quail]

Thought it was 20 for Russell? 10s but driving through pits cost another 10?

[spare glacier]

He got two drive-throughs (20s + 20s since that is average pit loss time)

I believe that's what happened anyway

[pseudo quail]

Seemed like 1

I think his penalty was more extra anyway

I don’t think max’s incident needed a dsq with how many points it cost him anyway

[gentle verge]

I know it still sucks considering ferrari's previous pace but hey Hamilton is doing better than he was last year...

and he'd have another 8 points i think if it wasnt for china DNF

[stiff bough]

I think intentional collisions should always be a DSQ

and I am in that camp when Vettel did it at Baku too

No reason to give leeway for someone willing to use their car as a method for retaliation

[pseudo quail]

I think for those they should look at the level of the collision rather than blanket all of them with a dsq. Something like Schumacher where he intended to dnf the other driver can be a dsq. Something where you try to tap someone to make a point should be the 10s or drop out of points, which max basically got. If someone does it on an overtake to slow the other guy down, then whatever 5s

[neat fern]

Vettels was kinda gentle but I agree

[south heron]

idk it kinda wasn't

[smoky agate]

I don’t think the FIA will do that for the simple reason that you then need to define “intentional collision with clear intent to DSQ” and “intentional collision with intent to pass” and those areas can be very murky

[sudden light]

intention is insanely hard to prove during litigation. subliminal messaging wouldnt cut it

[south heron]

and I'm a huge Vettel fan

[neat fern]

Wasn’t it?

[south heron]

yeah it really wasn't his finest hour slamming into him just bc he thought he slowed him down

[stiff bough]

leave it up to the stewards interpretation 🤷

[manic vigil]

chokeartist rip

[neat fern]

I mean verstappens was way worse

[south heron]

tbh actually yeah

at least Vettel didn't want to take him out ig, just tell him to speed up even though on track really isn't the best place to do it

whereas Max might as well have tried to

[manic vigil]

well yeah cause it was at racing speeds

[stiff bough]

drivers ain’t very slick when it comes to hiding an intent collision, whether it be Rosberg to Lewis, Schumacher to hill or Villeneuve

[smoky agate]

you could and then have the teams say “no it wasn’t with intent to DSQ” etc etc and you just ended up with another circular incident where the stewards would likely get their way by saying ‘well you can’t prove it wasn’t intentional collision with intent to not DSQ so we’re right’ or something similar from the team’s side

[manic vigil]

actually i would argue it wasnt because lewis headrest from that impact jolting his mercedes in the air came undone because of that contact which literally unloosened his headrest bolts virtually killing any hopes he had of a podium or win\

but

i can see the arguement for both sides

[smoky agate]

plus I think it’s better to just set the precedent that all intentional collisions are punishable to high degree

[stiff bough]

It’s already nearly impossible to overturn a penalty so I don’t think it’d change much in the grand scheme of things

[manic vigil]

he unloosened hamiltons headrest bolts

in the process of doing so

at least with russell he could continue on

[south heron]

how was he supposed to know his collision would cause that

[smoky agate]

obviously leave room for flexibility in the decision based on context but I think adding additional penalties for “demonstrated intent to pass” vs “demonstrated intent to DSQ” would be exploited pretty badly

[neat fern]

And Vettel got a 10 sec stop and go and verstappen only a 10 second

[south heron]

yeah

[manic vigil]

he wasn't but physics and gravity and force did

[south heron]

though Max's thing was very late in the race so a stop and go just wouldn't have been feasible

so yeah should've been a DSQ tbh

[neat fern]

Yeah fs

[stiff bough]

Nothing is ever black and white. If a driver ends up under investigation for an intent collision, chances are they were pretty fuckin obvious about it

[manic vigil]

so yea if we are gonna keep blaming max for his craziness theres other examples in the past where stuff like that has happened

just seems like its an out to criticize max party

[south heron]

why shouldn't we blame Max for his craziness?

[stiff bough]

He is the most recent one to do it after all

[south heron]

he's usually been like this whenever under pressure, dude's dirty as fuck

[manic vigil]

and he is

but

[neat fern]

Because he is very for doing that

[south heron]

and he always denies it right after

[neat fern]

He didn’t even apologize

[manic vigil]

as he should he shouldn't care about what the world thinks about the way he drives

[south heron]

um he should??

[manic vigil]

i wouldn't

[south heron]

especially when it has negative consequences for other drivers

[neat fern]

But you would drive into people in high speed?

[manic vigil]

it wasnt high speed tho was it

[manic vigil]

and obviously not

[stiff bough]

Relatively speaking

[neat fern]

It was

[south heron]

doesn't matter

[manic vigil]

no it wasnt

[sudden light]

lmao

[manic vigil]

it absolutely does matter what are you talking about

[neat fern]

It wasn’t 30 kmh was it

[south heron]

no it doesn't, he shouldn't have done it full stop

[manic vigil]

well thats up for you to deccide

decide

[neat fern]

100 kmh+ is still high speed

How can people defend max for this 😭😭

[south heron]

right??

[manic vigil]

its f1 its racing emotions run high get over it

[neat fern]

Yeah oh judge my emotions took over

[south heron]

doesn't excuse it

[sudden light]

man who engages in discussion with emotion saying get over it

this server is goated

[neat fern]

Lmaoooo

[south heron]

oh yeah by that logic is Vettel at Baku 2017 also "just racing emotions"?

[manic vigil]

it happens

[south heron]

ok

[manic vigil]

emotions are emotions humans react to different situations differently

[sudden light]

i see you like to react to stuff differently

[neat fern]

Yeah so? Murders are okay then?

It’s just emotions

[manic vigil]

but this wasnt murder and absolutely is that not okay

you are trying to move the topic into things that wouldnt even have been applicable to what happened on sunday

[neat fern]

Okay and still doesn’t make it right

[severe edge]

if we excuse driving into people on the basis of "emotions" then that sets a dangerous precedent

[manic vigil]

as long as hes not punting people into crashwalls a bit of wheel to wheel barging and tempers is fine by me

[neat fern]

You are by saying that humans have emotions

[severe edge]

Yes it was a minor accident, but its the bottom line of: verstappen drove into russell deliberartely. and that is unacceptable, no matter if no real damage was called

[south heron]

https://tenor.com/view/lewis-hamilton-max-verstappen-cry-about-it-gif-23054105

[sudden light]

a bit

[neat fern]

😭😭😭

[south heron]

had to at this point

[neat fern]

Max in Mexico

[south heron]

why do I even bother

[neat fern]

This isn’t the first time max does this

Nor the second

Or the third

[manic vigil]

he was going for it knowing that if lewis got ahead he was gonna lose points to him he went for it and it went wrong thats just a racing incident to me thats just good ol hard combat

[neat fern]

Mexico

[south heron]

but there were sausage kerbs so he should've known there was a chance it could've gone wrong

[manic vigil]

mexico was a different story

[south heron]

ok what about Jeddah 2021

[manic vigil]

that was on max fully

[south heron]

that was also on Max

[manic vigil]

heat of the moment

[neat fern]

“It’s just emotions” 💀

[sudden light]

Drake wheres the goalpost

[sudden bough]

this is just agressive racing

mexico tho

[manic vigil]

mexico was too far

[south heron]

nah it's not

[severe edge]

that incident was a racing incident, which occured because max gives no quater in battle, and usually people back off, lewis didnt in that case (which he was more than entitled to). The onus was on max in this instance to back off and avoid a crash, which he didnt because thats how he rolls

[sudden bough]

mexico last year was the side of max verstappen we dont wanna see just like what happened in spain

[severe edge]

65% of the blame was max's imo

[manic vigil]

and theres nothing wrong with how he races in my book does it get out of hand sometimes yeah but thats just how he is and hes not gonna change just cause of a bunch of internet opinions told him

[neat fern]

There’s a reason max is 1 point away from a raceban

[sudden bough]

its odd how vettel got a 10 sec stop go for that and max got a 10 sec for the spain incident

[neat fern]

Really weird

[manic vigil]

cool

i think he knows that

[neat fern]

Max should’ve gotten a dsq

[manic vigil]

we move on

[neat fern]

We don’t maybe you do

[sudden bough]

wow merc were so bad lol

at the start of 2024

[manic vigil]

well then keep commenting about it idc

[sudden bough]

also i have a crazy prediction for canada frfr

trust

antonelli will score points

[neat fern]

Wow I have one too sauber will not get into q3

[south heron]

it is

[sudden bough]

williams will get into q3

well i hope so

[neat fern]

Isn’t impossible

[sudden bough]

especially bc vettels was less dangerous cause it was under sc

[neat fern]

Yeah and slow speed

[south heron]

that and it wasn't really with the intent to damage him whereas Max's was

[neat fern]

And a light tap

[south heron]

yeah as much as this was an L on Seb's part I can understand why he didn't think it was dangerous at first
