monaco-gp

[gentle verge]

yeah ik i didnt realize how bad it was lol

[sudden bough]

antonelli was p6 in the standings until imola

now hes p8

partially his fault and partially merc pu's fault

[neat fern]

Merc reliability issues 2025

[sudden bough]

it was his fault for crashing in q1 in monaco and getting out in q2 at imola
not his fault for his engine to die and imola and spain

[gloomy wharf]

Poor guy. This has been a great rookie season, though.

[sudden bough]

constructors after 9 rounds in 2024

9 rounds in 2025

[gloomy wharf]

The Mercedes-AMG Petronas W16 might be a crapcan worthy of the junkyard.

Besides the DRS fiasco,hat even happened to Russell's car in Bahrain?

[sudden bough]

eh

its sat around the 2nd-4th fastest car

this season

reliability its pretty bad compared to frontrunners tho

surprised mclaren and williams havent been hit with a PU issue yet

they use merc power units too

[neat fern]

Will merc be able to do a good 26 car is the question

[pseudo quail]

Debatable since max lifted off before the hit and neither car ended with damage

[neat fern]

Especially with the overheating issues

[sudden bough]

i think they will

[pseudo quail]

Alpine switching to ferrari now

[sudden bough]

but if merc fuck up their PU rlly badly

then williams, alpine, and mclaren are going down with it

so its unlikely

[pseudo quail]

They’re not building a good engine for the sake of customers

It’s just extra money

[neat fern]

Merc should have the best pu with Ferrari I think but these problem in their last cars tho

[sudden bough]

whos gonna be the best in the new regs is the question

[neat fern]

They have no performance in warmer weather

[hushed olive]

Mclaren is the only stable top team

Ferrari: consistently the worst of the four on pure pace
Mercedes: unreliable and unlucky
Red bull: only 1 driver

[sudden bough]

spanish gp be like

how tf is ferrari second

[sudden bough]

merc power units being less reliable than renault

redbull being 1 driver

[manic vigil]

[sudden bough]

imagine a mclaren drivers pu stops working when they r leading a gp

[manic vigil]

mhm

[sudden bough]

mclaren also uses merc power units

[manic vigil]

im bored lol

massively

[sudden bough]

ok

[manic vigil]

mb

[sudden bough]

alex albon has led more racing laps than george russell this year

[manic vigil]

yup

[sudden bough]

it happened completely because of the pitstop shuffle

but its funny to see

[manic vigil]

yea 1 singular lap

[neat latch]

Yeah but they have better cooling than merc

It surprises me how mclaren are just better in everything than merc now

[sudden bough]

just 2 years ago it was the opposite

[neat latch]

Having the right people in the right places can change everything

[sudden bough]

the mcl39 is one hell of a good car

[neat latch]

Goofy ahh camo

[distant lotus]

This Pre-Season test livery was great as well, wish they've used somewhere during this season. It might not have all the sponsors stickers, but sure thing it does look awesome.

And yeah, the MCL39 is just bonkers.

[neat latch]

I just wish they painted the car properly

It's getting close though

[distant lotus]

My favorite era of McLaren was back in the Silver Arrows days, "West McLaren Mercedes" - they were fabulous and looked so sharp. I like their new identity though, it's a great callback to Bruce McLaren's 60s F1 cars.

[neat latch]

I just wish the whole thing was painted but i guess it has to do with weight

[toxic sleet]

ARGENTINA PAPA

[manic vigil]

intelligent and clever people as well

[neat latch]

And from what i Can tell it's not going to be better next year lmao

[manic vigil]

looks alot more cooler than what they run with for races

[neat latch]

I mean if they ran with one of the Sauber liveries from 2022-2023 it would be better already

Instead of red it's orange

I'd love that, like it's the same thing but better

[distant lotus]

Yeah. Less paint, less weight! It's nice from a performance perspective, but it really doesn't help visually. I mean, F1 has been mostly about cars delivering extreme performance, and not necessarily focusing too much on the "presentation" part. If you've got a car that looks cool, while also being fast you'll have an phenomenal and memorable combo.

[neat latch]

If they want that just steal the 2023 Sauber livery

Make that shit orange

[sudden bough]

so orange version of

[neat latch]

Yes

[distant lotus]

The 2020 Sauber-Alfa Romeo was also gorgeous, and they had Räikkönen.

But you're right, their 2023 car was so sexy. The best looking one for sure, shame it wasn't faster.

[neat latch]

I just hate the random floating bits of orange in the McLaren like bro

[sudden bough]

prob to do with weight

ima be fr the mcl38 looked better than the mcl39

[neat latch]

Get rid of the floating orange bits, cover the side with a bit more orange, make the nose completely orange

Get the black chrome logo back that shit was fire

[sudden bough]

whats ur opinion on this

[neat latch]

Never show me that picture again

[sudden bough]

ok heres a better mclaren

[neat latch]

Ah i miss it everyday

[distant lotus]

Ah yes, this one was great.

[neat latch]

Btw this orange with that blue

Fucking fire

[sudden bough]

hmm

2020/2021 is a bit better than 2019 mclaren

but at the same time i sorta like the 2019 one

[neat latch]

You know there is some blue on this year's mclaren, it's a lot better than the blue on the 2023 mclaren and whatever the fuck was on that 2022 mclaren

[sudden bough]

uhm wtf is this livery

[distant lotus]

I think the completely blank sidepod is what bothers me the most in this livery, the transition from orange to blue in the tail with the small triangles is beautiful though.

[sudden bough]

mclaren what did yall do in 2018 💀

[distant lotus]

BRUH

Orange.

[neat latch]

Bro there was nothing on that shit

The design itself is good but like... There's nothing

[sudden bough]

they went from this pretty cool livery (2017) to whatever tf that was

[fervent wind]

it looks easy to make into a t shirt

[fervent wind]

wow so many different oranges

[neat latch]

Like the loss of sponsors was so bad the livery couldn't save it

[sudden bough]

fr lol

[sudden bough]

well before 2017 there was no papaya mclaren

[fervent wind]

damn

[neat latch]

This is where Mercedes found inspiration

[fervent wind]

never seen it before

[sudden bough]

opinions on this livery

[molten saffron]

Didn't Mercedes do Black liveries because Hamilton wanted to support BLM?

[neat latch]

Yo guys, on the f175 reveal the McLaren crew arrived in a senna i think? The livery on that thing was GOOOOOOOD

Like it was inspired on this year's mclaren but like it was a lot better on that car

[neat latch]

I wasn't being serious

[sudden bough]

this also happened

[neat latch]

Bruh

[molten saffron]

I was though I couldn't remember

[sudden bough]

looks like a cheap version of the actually good chrome liveries

[fervent wind]

i dont like that one

[sudden bough]

from the mid 2010s

in 2014 mclaren made... whatever this is

[fervent wind]

how do you know so much abt liveries

[sudden bough]

im just looking on the wikipedia article of each car

lol

also i know about most of the 2000s and early 2010s main team liveries bc i like that era of f1

[fervent wind]

you seem fascinated by that stuff

[neat latch]

Man they were so confused back then, no identity

[sudden bough]

im just bored

i think the car in my pfp looks the coolest tho

[fervent wind]

is alonso in that car

That’s a regular McLaren

[neat latch]

The livery?

I mean i prefer this over the one we have

Just half and half, and imagine the numbers and the sponsors being orange at the front

[snow swan]

I meant the car

Not a Senna

[neat latch]

Oh yeah

[shell sorrel]

hello, can you send me the server of the cs55 tag?? thank you!

[fervent wind]

yeah i can

[sharp veldt]

this reminds me of that girl on insta or smth who is tyring to customize her mclaren to look like the MCL38 or smth'

[oblique osprey]

Tbh, Montreal is very mid

[fossil bridge]

Montreal is goated wym

[fossil bridge]

Alonso fan spotted

[regal needle]

Maybe to those of you Team know why EA and Codies didn't the match the Official Intro Audio in F1 25, I just fix it by the way

EA should have use the actual Audio but they didn't add the additional one at the end

[queen orbit]

2024 was goated

other races werent that good but some were like 2011

[sand apex]

RIP Codemasters, last few years entries may have been shit but you will always be remembered 🕊️

[signal knoll]

Bro last year was fuxking crazy

I was there

[regal needle]

Hang on a while. I think we'll get News if that 2 Year Deal License is completely agreed

[sand apex]

Its a mixed bag in my opinion, wouldn't blame the track but the driver

[regal needle]

Yesterday was retracted

[signal knoll]

AND IM GOING THIS YEAR

WOOOO

[sand apex]

The team is gone mate

They spent 2B just to shut down a studio

[regal needle]

It's not closed yet

It's just rumors

[sand apex]

Its basically confirmed, they don't even have a Twitter account anymore 🙏

[regal needle]

It's just a Fucking Rumor

They're not closing just yet

[sand apex]

Was good while it lasted, this years entry kinda seemed like they were trying to redeem things

[regal needle]

Don't believe any Shit News that is Fake

[sand apex]

Shit news 😭

[regal needle]

Last Week, We had Jack Doohan being attacked by Formulafakers and this Shit News about Codemasters being closed already?

That's not true yet

[sand apex]

Ive been following this for a whole month g idk

I follow more than just the F1 games

Its gone gone

[regal needle]

I've been into Insider Gaming, The studio is already in negotiation with F1 right now to reach a New Deal

They're not closed yet and not gone yet, you Donut

[sand apex]

Its EA Sports' new racing studio who is getting the jab

Not CM

[regal needle]

Yes, It still Codies

[sand apex]

CM staff is being relocated

[regal needle]

What is wrong with you? It is still Codies so far

[sand apex]

But most are being laid off

[regal needle]

That was for WRC paused development

Stop listening to anything that isn't true just yet

Problem is, After Formulafakers hurt Jack Doohan of course, They were already being considered also trying to bring Fake News about the Future to the F1 Game

But it didn't happen after they made Apology message and then deactivated

[sand apex]

I don't follow any of these people

I dont understand why you are so aggressive over a dead game studio

This isn't Volition or anything

Although those guys did deserve it

[regal needle]

Well, Codies is still active so don't listen to anything yet

They're still of course active but not with using their X anymore

They had to use their F1 Game Account only

[sand apex]

Damn

All over a game studio

Anyways

https://tenor.com/view/lance-stroll-gif-21687097

[gentle verge]

😭

[sand apex]

I'm not arguing over a dead game studio bro I just want my goat back I need a home race crash

Bring Latifi in please

Summoning demons just to get one last Stroll race where he either cooks or fumbles so hard you stare in disbelief, just that before he retires

[jovial owl]

cnada

[craggy zenith]

Yeah the WRC team is being relocated to other parts of Codemasters since they've lost the contract to another game studio

I don't actually know if that division of Codies is being closed but they're certainly reallocting resources to other projects

EA wouldn't already try to close Codemasters; they haven't gotten their money back on buying out Codies and the F1 license is expensive and lucrative

Plus, they're not entirely stupid and know they will get more money if Codies makes a game that isn't shit

[summer schooner]

ook

nice insight

yesss

[serene lichen]

Anyone know if Stroll is gonna race ?

[stiff bough]

no

if we did it'd be in f1 news

[lilac nova]

Hopefully my man Bottas is called in

https://tenor.com/view/valtteri-bottas-valtteribottas-bottas-mercedes-benz-benz-gif-5511693390128889738

[queen orbit]

i kinda want someone to replace him but hope he recovers well

[candid oxide]

yep

[daring berry]

☹️

[frozen kindle]

why is my fps so bad in f1 25

😢

[wet sequoia]

Because EA make horrible games

And haven’t made a good one inhouse themselves since the PS2 era

[frozen kindle]

i have 4080 i9 13900k and ts sucks

[torpid granite]

what settings?

[spare river]

Hi, where can i see free live F1?

[mossy axle]

you cannot

👍

[sand apex]

so is it confirmed that the worst thing you can do for your career is drive for rbr or alpine?

[pseudo quail]

Maybe but if you’re like Perez it’ll be nice if you get to drive the dominant car too

[sand apex]

to be fair the only real reason Perez stuck with the RBR seat was due to the team synergy

he was the dirty driver who defended max, max was the one who guided him to higher positions

i'd dare argue that he has always been a team player rather than a solo player (re: 2020 RP)

if his team underperforms he underperforms too

and yeah i'm not even gonna get started with his ego getting to him + the marko/horner hatecycle

its hard to debate whether RBR was a good team or a bad team to him, the driver duo was perfect but the team strategy decayed later on

there really isn't anything i'd think of pairing him aside from max, maybe bottas

nowadays maybe bortoleto but he's still too young

that said oh my fucking god renault why did you bring back the guy who literally destroyed the team's rep

[pseudo quail]

Briatore might just be what they need to get the technical bit back up to competitiveness. The reputation doesn’t cost points

[manic vigil]

decent

[neat latch]

It does hurt marketing

And without marketing you get no sponsors, and without sponsors you get no money

[sand apex]

To quote his own Wikipedia article

"He is not the official team principal, as he is not an Alpine employee and he does not hold the requisite FIA license."

All he did was successfully market and hire people for Benneton, post he got because he was only a good businessman who literally led Italy to avoid charges for fraud

He was then exiled from the sport for stealing documents and telling a driver to crash, only to come back a decade and a half after dozens of regulation changes and new metas (re: no refueling, hybrid engines, larger and heavier cars, etc)

So even on the single thing he can atleast levy himself in and help the team (recruitment and marketing) he is fucking over everyone

He needs to be ousted from Renault as soon as possible

To give him credit he is about to make F1 history by (I think) being the first team to hit the 4 driver cap

So shoutouts to him

[wet sequoia]

As in 4 driver run in a year?

You know the reserve drivers list for the likes of Ferrari and McLaren run deep right

[sand apex]

Yep, there are already reports that he is unhappy with Colapinto and is considering a replacement

[wet sequoia]

They have Aron

[sand apex]

Considering he only has a 5 race contract

[wet sequoia]

And Schumacher as a very long shot

[sand apex]

I do wonder if they'll renew him or hit the 4 driver cap

All over... ?

https://www.planetf1.com/news/flavio-briatore-not-happy-at-all-with-franco-colapinto-alpine-pressure-mounts

[wet sequoia]

It’s funny that Doohan was improving, Colapinto has not

[sand apex]

Usually don't care for Planet F1 but meh at this point

Whatever

[wet sequoia]

Planet F1 depends on the reporter apparently

[sand apex]

I had lots of hopes for him, the start of the season wasn't great but he WAS improving

[wet sequoia]

Some can be RT, others are plain UU

[sand apex]

I really do wonder if its worse to be in RBR or Alpine nowadays

Atleast as a crew member you have some job security at RBR 🚎

[left dawn]

trying to watch drive to surive to see what the hype is about

[wet sequoia]

Remember to take everything that happens with a pound of salt

[neat fern]

He wasn’t

[plucky shoal]

Is Lewis Hamilton gonna win?

[spare glacier]

What, can you not have over 4 drivers in a year? When did that come into force?

[spare glacier]

he outqualified Gasly at his last race

[spare glacier]

I'm not surprised Briatore is (reportedly) not happy, they were relying on Franco for his out-of-the-box speed he showed last year

HRT had 4 drivers in 2010

[regal needle]

Must be related to Alex Dunne recent incident https://x.com/Formula2/status/1930663933628629152?t=W4I0BbV6AQ5PWRYDWPDDCw&s=19

Formula 2 (@Formula2)

X · Jun 5, 2025, 4:32 PM

Or was it someone else or is it really Alex Dunne?

[wet sequoia]

Dunne, Stroll, the Argentina army against anyone who interferes with Colapinto, MBS

Take your pick

[regal needle]

Accordingly to some Comments, This Message was for Alex Dunne

He's been receiving so many Shit Comments so far

[wet sequoia]

It would be for Monaco

[sand apex]

Da rools say so

[wet sequoia]

But also considering the reports coming from the Alpine camp about Colapinto it could also be a warning

[sand apex]

I don't actually know when this came into effect but I guess its always been like that since they made every competitor have 2 cars

[spare glacier]

Hmmm interesting, I didn't know that

[grave parcel]

who else is reserve driver for alpine atp

[sand apex]

So you don't end up shitposting drivers like Red Bull

[spare glacier]

could be any of them

[wet sequoia]

Aron, Schumacher

[grave parcel]

schumacher ?

[sand apex]

Mikey:

[spare glacier]

Good they've put this out (kinda surprised F1 Academy isn't on it though)

[cedar arch]

mick drives for alpine in wec so yeah

[wet sequoia]

He technically is still a reserve driver but more firmly entrenched in the Alpine WEC project

[cedar arch]

yep

[grave parcel]

ok wait is maini still with alpine academy

[wet sequoia]

Yes

But he isn’t that great

[spare glacier]

not schumacher
aron and doohan and maini

[sand apex]

He is a rookie after all, one driving for a barebones team with a shit car none the less, I don't really get why he is getting that amount of pressure

[spare glacier]

he's not an official reserve but will be available to them probably, but they wouldn't snub the other 3

[cedar arch]

i see briatore pulling another redbull at this rate

😭

i dont trust anything he does

[spare glacier]

Because of what he did under similar pressure last year

[sand apex]

I don't think he has enough SL points

[wet sequoia]

He’d be on the list, most of the F1 teams have very extensive reserve driver lists and ability to loan out/get loaned drivers

[grave parcel]

thanks

[sand apex]

And I doubt the FIA is gonna give them an exception just to once again, shitpost a driver in

[spare glacier]

Yeah I just mean on their official list he isn't there. But he will be available

[wet sequoia]

I’m having a laugh at Red Bull looking to get an exception for Lindblad

[regal needle]

Both Alex Dunne, Jack Doohan and Franco Colapinto still definitely need to be given a respect after all

[cedar arch]

😭

[wet sequoia]

Red Bull want Tsunoda out of that car

Or don’t trust Max to keep his shit together until some of his points expire

[grave parcel]

aint he eligible after hungary

[cedar arch]

i think 2 of his points expire this month

or the 30th or something

like within this next few weeks

[sand apex]

If Dunne has 1000 haters, I'm one of them
If Dunne has 100 haters, I'm one of them
If Dunne has 10 haters, I'm one of them
If Dunne has 1 hater, that hater is me

Please someone buy him a simracing setup

[wet sequoia]

He’s not 18 until August, so his first race would be Zandvoort

[grave parcel]

theyre leapfrogging bro

[wet sequoia]

It’s clear they don’t want Lawson back, Hadjar is developing well in the AlphaTauri

Tsunoda sucks so now they really want Lindblad in Red Bull

[cedar arch]

most redbull move ever is to take their exceptional talent and boost them up to f1 to their shit team that has issues because theyre driving one drivable car at this point

[sand apex]

I really don't get why they keep throwing rookies who had a short stint as a replacement and expect them to perform the same or better, like yes its the closest thing they'll get to a real, hands-on F1 drive test but oh my god stop

[cedar arch]

i mean i saw something with horner saying something about yuki no?

but theyre definitely not renewing him

not with lindblad and hadjar

[wet sequoia]

They’ll keep Tsunoda for the year because he has flashes of performance

[grave parcel]

red bull try not to baptise by fire challenge

[wet sequoia]

Which is true, Tsunoda has scored some points in that car

[cedar arch]

that was it right

yeah hes not terrible

but not where he should be

[wet sequoia]

But it’s not consistent enough

[cedar arch]

yep

[wet sequoia]

Yeah that car is demonic to drive and the engineering team refuse to listen

[sand apex]

If I got a penny for every time Red Bull got an exception to put a 17 year old on an F1 car, I'd have 2 pennies

[wet sequoia]

Who was the first?

[cedar arch]

max maybe 😭 not sure

[sand apex]

[wet sequoia]

That wasn’t a rule when Max joined

[cedar arch]

im lowkey clueless on certain things

that is true

[wet sequoia]

They made the rule because of him being an angry, hormonal teenager on the grid

[sand apex]

Oh hey doesn't look like much has changed

[cedar arch]

only exception i can think of right now isnt a redbull driver

wasnt kimi also an exception

or am i wrong

[sand apex]

Don't touch my boy Pepe bro please don't feed him to the RB21

[wet sequoia]

They asked for Kimi but when he drove Monza FP1 he was 18

[sand apex]

No he was actually 18 and yeah

[cedar arch]

ohh

ok got it

[wet sequoia]

I think they wanted him earlier or just to confirm it early for him

[cedar arch]

[sand apex]

There hasn't been something like that since Max I think

Bearman was about to be 19 for his Saudi stint

Uh

[wet sequoia]

Kimi got approved but they changed his FP1 for Monza being a home race and something he would have been more comfortable in

Year Bearman was 19

And got pole position for F2 then got told fuck that your driving in a Ferrari

[cedar arch]

😭

[spare glacier]

It's not great treatment at all, I'm just saying that's Briatore's reasoning. Colapinto should never have been in that Alpine, but now that he is they should stick with him

[sand apex]

I may hate Lewis but he took one for the team by preventing Bearman from being a Ferrari driver

Now we have silly brit racing on the b-team shitbox

[neat fern]

Alphatauri? 😭😭

[sand apex]

Minardi 🤓

[wet sequoia]

Blame Zed, he forbid me calling it the new name

[grave parcel]

what would be so wrong about calling them rb1 and rb2

[wet sequoia]

Hey one of the admins has spoken

I can’t very well say no can I

[sand apex]

They should just sell off the team/be banned from having 2 teams 🚬

[neat fern]

which one is 1 tho

[sand apex]

The Italian one

One Bull vs Two Bulls

[grave parcel]

yeah

[sand apex]

One Bull (+ rookie)

[wet sequoia]

I agree completely, Singapore last year and Monaco this year are massive examples why

[sand apex]

In no other sport is it allowed to own two competing teams but this one does for some reason

And its not even "fair" anymore

Ever since they closed the specialworks and intel sharing loopholes they've basically put RB in this limbo where they are owned by a bigger team but don't get anything in return

Its just there to bleed talent off from

Please sell the team this shit sucks

I really do wonder if Red Bull seriously think they can keep getting away with grabbing random rookies hoping for yet another Vettel or Verstappen

Even Ferrari risks it and puts in rookies of their own or hires ones with one season on a smaller team

[tiny tide]

Racing friends NOT FORGET the coming LeMans24 Race(14 June)**...But how Formula1 did this mistake this season to have a Grand Prix on the LeMans24 Race day!

[molten saffron]

F1 and Le Mans don't work their schedules around each other

[sand apex]

Imma be watching lemons, f1, and nascar all at the same time god bless racing

[tiny tide]

Yes I know, but would be really good to do that

Imagine Ferrari fans watching the LeMans24 than the F1 GP

[molten saffron]

The FIA is too stupid to do that

[tiny tide]

😀😀

[spare glacier]

if you watch the f1 race you only miss 1/12 of les mans at most 🤷 good thing about 24 hr races

[dawn mural]

hello hello

what is that website that u can like simulate a season

like of f1

[tiny tide]

Yes okay and you can also watch in 2 Windows or screens too....I mean in times of interviews and other things...But it is also about the F2 , F3 too

[dawn mural]

le mans is 24 hours bro, the f1 race is like 1:45, you'll manage

[tiny tide]

yes, just not so comfortable like being only the F1 race where you watch all the pre-race, after race interviews, also F2/F3

[dawn mural]

love some f2/3

[tiny tide]

Porsche cars too!

Just put reminders because LeMans24 is really exciting! Especially in the night and also who knows if rains too...

[sand apex]

No races till late June, unless your name is Lacorte then its until July

[neat fern]

Where do you watch WEC

[junior granite]

wec tv, among other sources

they have a whole page that shows all the broadcasting rights in various countries

races get posted on YT after like a week

[sudden bough]

oscah more consistent in it too

[sudden bough]

hes made 3 major mistakes this season
spinning off in australia
braking too early in imola
bottling suzuka qualil

[snow swan]

ugh i hope hes underated

[sudden bough]

p20 in a redbull does not make u underrated

The FIA will consider a request from Red Bull next week to grant special dispensation for Formula 2 driver Arvid Lindblad to race in Formula 1. The FIA has confirmed to RacingNews365 that the Milton Keynes-based team has submitted the application. A decision will be made during the next meeting of the World Motorsport Council, scheduled for next week.
Under normal regulations, a driver is only eligible for a Super Licence at the age of 18 and with the required number of points. However, an amendment was made to this rule last year: if a driver has accumulated enough points but is only 17 years old, the FIA may still decide to grant a Super Licence.

If and When Max gets banned
We might see a Williams or RB podium

Hadjar podium in a blue balls

[robust copper]

no way

[polar trellis]

i just hope Hadjar wont be "promoted" to RB 2nd seat

bro have career in F1 , dont fuck it up

kimi and hadjar is really amazing to watch

also i really like bearman and bortoleto

anyways, im in deep depression because im FERRARI fan

[distant iron]

I want to see Hadjar pursue a non red Bull seat in 2 years time

Haas, Audi, Aston Martin (if they kick out Stroll), Cadillac

[radiant scarab]

Bro is depressed about p2

[fervent wind]

Albon is gonna come in clutch

[fading hill]

Strulovitch isnt there this gp

[radiant scarab]

Maybe bro should continue on this path

[sudden bough]

is it confirmed that he wont be at canada

[errant grove]

[fading hill]

No but like

Probably

Anyways, why tf is f1 going to canada in the middle of the european stint

[molten saffron]

Cause they're dumb

[clear obsidian]

yuki is my goat but naw

they should let me drive the second aston martin im canadian its my home race too fr

[fervent wind]

but they said they are going to be more environmentally friendly this year!

[radiant scarab]

Net zero only refers to the cars and not the private jets

Billionaires gonna billionaire

[clear obsidian]

if they REALLY cared about the environment theyd go everywhere by horseback

[radiant scarab]

1 horsepower goated

[molten saffron]

Dumb

[fervent wind]

they still did some kind of adjustments to the schedule to try to be more environmentally friendly regarding travel

[fervent wind]

idk abt yuki but carlos will

williams top ten in canada

[fervent wind]

they should in texas

[radiant scarab]

Ideally you finish up the east first (Japan, china, Australia) then head to the Americas and finish them off (Canada, 3 us, mexico, Brazil) then go to Silverstone followed by Europe all in one go and end it all off with 4 middle eastern races

Make me FIA president and I'll show you net zero

[fervent wind]

wouldnt it be nice if everything in life was ideal

[radiant scarab]

We'd never have a discord argument ever again

[pseudo quail]

So you’d make them race in Canada while it’s snowing then

[radiant scarab]

You're right, delete canada

A 5th race in the middle east is just the ticket

Dubai Autodrome is in

[proven leaf]

Weather 😔

[proven leaf]

Fuck no

Canada is fine

[radiant scarab]

Nah we deleted it

No more stroll home race

Everybody wins

[pseudo quail]

Sounds good here’s 1bil for that decision

[radiant scarab]

Thanks I really needed that 1 bn

Now I can buy more votes

I MEAN

Spread racing to the third world

[slender flare]

Me

[sick lava]

-_- nuh uh

[fossil bridge]

Why the f*** am i on hards

Says max

[blissful orbit]

Canada is ight

anyways

it seems Max didnt have the title in his mind already

“I think we are way too slow anyway to fight for the title. I think that was clear again.”

it was asked by Sky

is Planet F1 a reliable source?

[wet sequoia]

Planet F1 depends on the reporter

Some are rumour mongers, others are trusted

[blissful orbit]

https://www.planetf1.com/news/new-theory-behind-max-verstappen-spanish-gp-antics-emerges

[lilac rose]

Bot says unreliable.

[blissful orbit]

but trusted

idk

im only speculating

idk if its reliable or not

from what ive read Naomi Schiff asked him

[wet sequoia]

Like I said depends on who’s reporting

Unfortunately I don’t have the list anywhere on who to trust on that website

[blissful orbit]

title's a long shot imo, even as a Max fan I doubt he can get it

[lilac rose]

Max might decide the WDC

[neat fern]

Especially with his penalty points now

He threw it away in the Spanish gp

[lilac rose]

No. He'll work around it

[blissful orbit]

some of the upcoming tracks are rear limited on which redbull stuggled on every single one so far this year

Bahrain, Miami, Monaco etc

[neat fern]

Impossible

[limber gate]

Is Canada this weekend or is this a Bye week?

[lilac rose]

Skip this weekend

[lilac nova]

RACE WEEKEN….nope 😭

[round lagoon]

they need time to get the stuff into canuhduh

no??

ohh shit man yeah

i dont miss LeMans but with how its going, Ferrari 1-2-3 ez i know it already

so ig im going with Canada

[neat latch]

He doesn't care

Which means he'll do whatever he wants anyway, he himself doesn't think he can win the championship

He just drives fast

[shell crest]

Smoke is really bad in MTL today 😭

It's good that the race is next week. It's one of the worst cities in terms of air quality atm

[neat fern]

ferrari so goated fr

[neat latch]

Until you look at F1

[errant grove]

👍

[tropic crest]

imagine get up at 3 am to watch f1 then realise it on june 14 not june 7th can’t me be me 😭😭

[lavish ore]

max is pretty much mentally checked out of the title fight already, crashing into george and being 1 penalty point away from a race ban definitely doesn't help that

like he was very stupid throwing away easy points, but even then it'd have been very hard to come back with a car that bad and zero teammate

[feral herald]

Agreed

[bronze vapor]

is canada race next?

[subtle elbow]

Who do you think is the best Canadian f1 driver which of the 15
Peter Ryan
Peter broeker
Ernie de vos
Al pease
Eppie wietzes
Bill brack
John cordts
George Eaton
John cannon
Gilles Villeneuve
Jacque villeneuve sr
Allen berg
Jacque Villeneuve
Lance stroll
Or
Nicolas latifi
Which of the 15 are the goat

[idle escarp]

yup

[spare glacier]

latifi

Serious answer: one of the Villeneuves

[subtle elbow]

Stroll is underrated

[little folio]

That's a pretty hot take

[sand apex]

He may be the king of the rain but he is still, just a goat

[radiant ice]

Can we hope for anything from RB?

[neat fern]

In Canada nahhhh

[radiant ice]

Is that how you ferrari fans feel? 😭🙏🏿

[neat fern]

Nah we have Lewis podium atleast in Canada

[neat fern]

Max won’t take any risk with his penalty points

[sand apex]

Hulkenberg podium

[sand apex]

I pray for the worst because a race ban on the team's home race would be hilarious

[cedar arch]

is it me being hopeful or is it possible saubers upgrades may have upgraded them from f tier tractor to what can be possibly seen as a car

[neat fern]

In Austria? Hahahah

[neat fern]

Hopium

[sand apex]

One RBR car on the Red Bull Ring would be fucking hilarious

Would be worse than a Silverstone without Williams

[neat fern]

They would prolly put in Arvid Lindblad

[neat fern]

But they would get knocked out in q2

[sand apex]

Still a Monza without Ferrari would be peak ridicule

[neat fern]

😭😭😭😭

[sand apex]

Wait no Imola since it has their fucking name on the track

[spare glacier]

If Max got a penalty point in FP1 for an incident, would he sit out the rest of the weekend, or the next full weekend he took part in?

[neat fern]

Think it’s only for the race so would be for the Austria weekend

[spare glacier]

ok

[sand apex]

I think that only applies for quali positions, race bans are round based

[neat fern]

It should be for the next race he participates in so

[sand apex]

If he did something in FP, the point would ban him from the next round (Austria) but the grid position would affect him on the same race

[neat fern]

Isn’t I Canada then?

[sand apex]

Else you'd have a driver banned in Quali which would be... lmao

[neat fern]

Because it should be next race he participates in

I think he would be able to do quali

But not the race

But wouldn’t be smart because then a reserve driver couldn’t participate

[sand apex]

He's one point away in Canada, this scenario takes Canada as the place where that point would be given

Honestly I see him being swapped just for Canada to avoid a race ban

If he fucks up even once during the FPs, Quali, or the feature; he's out

[neat fern]

That would fuck him over even more for the wdc

But be fr he hasn’t got a chance

So

Impeding is penalty points yea?

[sand apex]

Look at it like this, he can gamble for not doing something stupid and try to play it safe (ie, not podium)

Or just pull out so he can actually try something in Austria

Considering the current fling of shit going on, i doubt he or the FIA have a cold head

[neat fern]

2 peanlty points expire after Austria

So he has to drive clean in both

[sand apex]

Doesn't his 2 points expire on Canada feature?

[neat fern]

I don’t remember the quali but max impeded multiple drivers including stroll which didn’t make it into q2 because of max and if he did get a penalty he would’ve had a raceban already

[neat fern]

No the day after Austria

The Monday

[sand apex]

Ah

Give up on the WDC and ball 🚎

Its still kinda too early to tell but the odds are not looking in his favour

[neat fern]

He fucked it up in Spain let’s be fr

[sand apex]

If the points don't expire until Austria then meh just fuck it and ball

[ionic sphinx]

My home race!!!

[spare glacier]

https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/f1-drivers-total-penalty-points/

[neat fern]

Yeah he has to drive clean for 2 races

So

[sand apex]

He could've settled for P5 but no, he had to crash 😭

[neat fern]

Yeah 😭😭😭😭

Lost a lot of points

[sand apex]

I hate that with him that's a lot to ask for

[neat fern]

And he can’t do that again to try to get more wdc points

Because then it’s a ban

[sand apex]

I wonder if RBR could try to make a sort of "follow me" strat with both cars

Instead of having Max lone wolf the front field, just have him guide Yuki into the midfield and sort of keep him as defense and to switch places around

That way its arguably safer to score points, even if its just P10-P5 ones

Also works as a getalong shirt for those two

[neat fern]

Lmao would be fun to see

Even a sc infringement is 1 penalty point

[sand apex]

That's why I say that's probably the only way to maintain 2 clean races

Keep those two together

[neat fern]

Imagine if he misses the gridbox and gets a false start

[sand apex]

Don't focus on the frontfield, just keep the same pace and make Yuki switch positions when needed to avoid stupid defense moves

AHAHAHHAAHAHAHA

[neat fern]

Lmao

The safest would be to start from pit lane

Ngl

[gloomy wharf]

It is not cool to ram into someone because of anger issues.

Max needs to learn how to control his temper in spite of adrenaline.

[neat fern]

Yeah this is not the first time either

[modern yew]

yeah he makes it difficult to defend him atp 😭

if only gp didnt mess up

[neat fern]

How did gp mess up?

[modern yew]

he told max to let russell through even though he didnt have to iirc

[neat fern]

you know GP doesnt make those calls

how can this guy impersonate a driver

i friended jarno opmeer

[versed sparrow]

Box to overtake

How's the balance

[spare heart]

i lost track of time and thought the gp was tomorrow 😔 then i checked the pin and turns out its in a week AHHHHHH

[vague portal]

Now I need the radio call sound effect LoL

[gentle acorn]

No

Atleast not when the race would be taking place

[nocturne basin]

ok thats good right?

[radiant scarab]

No rain is always good for the status quo but casuals like it when their memelords win a race or get an unexpected podium so the rain allows for that

That sounded kind of elitist but I'm a casual, trust

[nocturne basin]

Yea thats true

But is Canada's weather predictable or not?

[radiant scarab]

I'd say unpredictable

Up north is always iffy

[nocturne basin]

So rain is possible?

If so, i want to see some action with the wall of champions 🙂

Even without rain

[wet sequoia]

So your wishing for a crash

[feral lance]

I'm praying for a mclaren double DSQ

yall can afford it, not like it's gonna affect you guys in any way

[wet sequoia]

Ferrari is more likely to get the double DSQ, you’ve already done it once this year

[radiant scarab]

Lightning shan't strike twice

[pseudo quail]

Current trend with Merc engines hasn’t been looking good

Although ferrari customers had engine issues too

[nocturne basin]

maybe

for safety car so the pack comes closer together again

[compact ridge]

Can someone show me the roles?

[prime hornet]

.roles

[compact ridge]

Yeah, where are they?

[prime hornet]

if you’re on mobile, they should be right above the rules section…

[compact ridge]

Where’s the race times I’m pretty sure I have the role on

[cyan saffron]

.getroles

[jade mural]

How to get roles:

Follow the image below to the left sidebar of Discord to open the roles page and choose which apply to you.

Alternatively, you can follow this link to the correct role channel: id:customize

They're pinned here.

[compact ridge]

Pretty sure I’ve pinged live race notifications but I don’t see the channel

[wet sequoia]

Right <@&781898349006684170>

[gentle acorn]

Yeah, but as said, those were from Ferrari customer teams had those issues

the last engine issue they had was Canada... 2024

oh shit oh fuck we're screwed this is the end of the world

[cyan saffron]

Ollie in Miami:

[south heron]

.mute 1239996636885811290 2h wishing for crashes

[jade mural]

zedmarine610 muted coolio_3211_91097 for 2 hours. Reason: wishing for crashes

[gentle acorn]

yikes

Y'all would love to see my other f1 server, what with all the people in therewishing for drivers to cause multi-car wrecks

[cyan saffron]

Oh wait, I've read that wrong, yeah, Ferrari themselves haven't had one for ages.

[gentle acorn]

For a year

[cyan saffron]

yeah

[queen orbit]

Yk its a corner right

overtake counts as action

[queen orbit]

…oh cuz otherwise this mute wouldve been unfair

[gentle acorn]

I don't really know if all the right hand chicanes at Montreal count as "slow speed corners"

[pseudo quail]

Since ferrari sucked last Canada gp they are going to dominate this year

[gentle acorn]

(3-4, 8-9)

[pseudo quail]

It has been written

[gentle acorn]

no they wont

[queen orbit]

watch ferrari outscore mclaren by 40+ points

[sudden bough]

peak delusion

unless mclaren strategy team decides to fall apart or smth

actually no its not possible at all

unless both mclarens dnf or get dsq

[gentle acorn]

the only really hope Ferrari had at Montreal for these regs is 2022, where Carlos was 2nd and Charles climbed from like 20th, all the way to 5th

[sudden bough]

yeah

[gentle acorn]

after that they just sucked ass here

[sudden bough]

meanwhile in 23 and 24 it was a mess

[wet sequoia]

Yes but wishing for a safety car is wishing for a crash

Which is against the rules here

[pseudo quail]

Yes they are they do the opposite of last year

[gentle acorn]

I would prefer to call it "Bernd getting more laps led"

[wet sequoia]

Dress it however you want it’s still 99% of the time a crash has happened

You don’t get dogs invading the track everyday

[gentle acorn]

cue to that one Sebastian Vettel incident

[pseudo quail]

There could be geese this year

[gentle acorn]

look, I had some high delusions but canada is UNSAVEABLE

[wet sequoia]

It’s Canada they have beavers on the track

Not geese

[gentle acorn]

The highest amount of delusion I had last year was Austria, where I thought leclerc had the pace to maybe be in George's position before lando and max got real close and personal

but canada

no

maybe next regs they'll nail it

but we all know that not gonna happen

[wet sequoia]

Leclerc might win if Ferrari stop being themselves

A WCC with Hamilton no

[pseudo quail]

This is Ferrari greatest f1 team

16 time champions

They will return this year

[gentle acorn]

he COULD'VE won Monaco if lando didn't decide to turn on the jets for Monaco and Monaco only

[gentle acorn]

just read this advice and keep the delulu farming until like Monza or smth

More specifically, baku

Ferrari HAVE shit rn that is needed for a wcc, good strategy and awesome pitstops

GOOD STRATEGY, for Ferrari

that alone is a big improvement

Ferrari made a mistake and now they are paying dearly

honestly, it's deserved

Not that he was the one who said it, but vasseur probably knew that the sf-24 was so good, and yet he decided to make the sf-25 from the ground up

[pseudo quail]

They probably had no choice but to go pullrod suspension to be competitive

Just they started on it while McLaren had the other three years to develop that concept for this gen

[gentle acorn]

No they were already competitive enough on the pushrod

[pseudo quail]

In their reasoning they were at the limit of the aero using a pushrod. If they wanted any more they’d have to switch to pullrods like McLaren used

[neat fern]

Delulu strikes again

[wet sequoia]

I said might win it, not will win it

[neat fern]

He Will never win it

[gleaming dagger]

I mean... they've shown notable improvement in pit stops and race management compared to their 2022 and pre-2022 days

Vasseur has managed to handle some stuff

[wet sequoia]

He turned around the shitheap that Binotto left him in 2023 and fought for a championship last year

[gleaming dagger]

Which was unexpected considering the car was a bit inferior in pace and they were underdogs

[wet sequoia]

This year they messed up their car and getting Hamilton on board was never going to snap produce results

[wet sequoia]

How? They started last year the 2nd best car, if it wasn’t for the messed up upgrades after Monaco they’d have won WCC easy

[neat fern]

It’s his first year and already doing better than Sainz

[wet sequoia]

I’m sorry who won Australia last year?

[gleaming dagger]

That's the point. Red Bull was the clear favourite at the start of 2024, Ferrari was playing second fiddle

[queen orbit]

yeah i saw the bottom one

[gleaming dagger]

Hamilton trails Leclerc 8-1 in race H2H and 7-2 in qualifying H2H

Sainz was a lot better than this at the start of 2024

[wet sequoia]

As much of a bull Sainz turned into when he saw red he still got results

[neat fern]

Not in points

[gleaming dagger]

108 vs 71

[wet sequoia]

And statistically he’s left every team better then when he joined

[gleaming dagger]

Sainz also missed a race

[neat fern]

Different car 💀 then Sainz did better than Leclerc this year

Has to be Ragebait

[thin berry]

Statistically, they also got way better after he left

[neat fern]

Out in q1 in Spain lmao

[wet sequoia]

Mia honey, how many races has Ferrari won this year? Please sit down and have a pint of cider on hand before you answer

[gleaming dagger]

Sainz was 4-4 in race H2H with Leclerc after 9 rounds in 2024

(Sainz missed Saudi Arabia so it's 8 total)

Hamilton's not even close to that

[wet sequoia]

What have we said about copium intake

[neat fern]

The points is the only thing that matters and 2024 wasn’t Sainz first season?

Was it

[gleaming dagger]

In 2021 Sainz needed 5 races to take a podium

In an inferior SF21

[neat fern]

We gonna play this game? Lewis pole and sprint win in his second race

[gleaming dagger]

I showed a GP stat, you showed a sprint stat.

GP overshadows the sprint.

[neat fern]

still a stat

[gleaming dagger]

Not official.

[neat fern]

It is official

[gleaming dagger]

Hamilton is shown with 0 podiums or wins for this season but alright

His best race result is P4

[neat fern]

Wheres Leclercs win?

We can compare with Sainz in the Williams if you’d like put in q1 in Spain for example

[gleaming dagger]

You expected him to get a win this season when he never had a chance to fight for one?

[neat fern]

You said Hamilton didn’t have a win atleast he has a sprint win

More than Leclerc

[gleaming dagger]

Yeah he has a sprint win. Other than that we have...

While Leclerc has 3 podiums.

[neat fern]

Same team for 7 years just saying

And we saw what Hamilton could do with a stable rear in china after that the car was terrible

And that is Hamiltons driving style

[wet sequoia]

In China…

You know the joke about clean air in China right?

[gleaming dagger]

China was a one-off weekend for him

He got his annual 10/10 performance there

[thin berry]

You said statistically, I’m just pointing out another one, redbull and McLaren started fighting for titles and wins after he left

[neat fern]

Idk if you know the word adapting

[gleaming dagger]

Enrico Cardile (Former head of the aero department) led to the creation of this new concept for 2025. Unfortunately he left mid-2024 and didn't cook at all with this. That's why Ferrari is struggling a lot with the ride height and the downforce generated from the car this season, both of which are part of the aero. The new engineer, Loic Serra is trying to work on these issues by minimizing damage this season because a major change is not possible before the 2026 regulations

In other words, Ferrari will have these issues for the remainder of 2025

[pure aurora]

what the yap

nah ferrari on top

seriously that much yapping on discord is crazy 🙏 🙏

[sudden bough]

ferrari may genuinely be p2 in constructors despite being shit

[pure aurora]

ferrari p1 trust

[sudden bough]

bc merc cars keep imploding

and exploding

[pseudo quail]

Problem is their competition is handicapped

Redbull with tsunoda and the car and Merc with antonelli

[wet sequoia]

I know they also took some radical changes into this year so there are a lot of factors as to why Ferrari are struggling

When Vasseur is set and happy with his team then there should be more consistent results

[sudden bough]

tsunoda better make q3 in canada

[pure aurora]

Ferraris doing geat trust

[gleaming dagger]

Personally I believe the new concept for this season was a blunder decision

They should've built on the SF-24

[sudden bough]

they shoulda stuck with 2024 concept and expanded on it

bc it was easily the 2nd fastest car

at the end of 2024

and at the start

[gleaming dagger]

Considering it was much kinder on the tyres than its predecessors, and also had great race pace

Something the F1-75 and the SF-23 particularly trailed on

[sudden bough]

how many points do yall think antonelli is scoring this year

[gleaming dagger]

He might get about 100

At best 150

[sudden bough]

i would say 140 or smth

in wdc standings in a season u can clearly tell whos in a top team

and who isnt

[gleaming dagger]

Yes, exactly. The fact that the 2024 spec rear-wing they used in Monaco nearly got them pole (which would be a win), shows how good the car was

[sudden bough]

so antonelli being a rookie in a top team will prob finish with more points than the midfielders but less than top teams

so like p7 in the championship

[gleaming dagger]

Maybe P6 if Hamilton fails to perform well

[sudden bough]

ofc me with my delusion wants albon to be p7

[gleaming dagger]

Antonelli on his day can get some steady results like P4-P6

[sudden bough]

its not happening but it would be cool to see for at least 1 race

[gleaming dagger]

If Williams is good in Canada and Antonelli suffers from lack of experience I'd say it's possible

But it's very unlikely since Williams are starting to fall down the pecking order

They're being outdeveloped

[sudden bough]

williams better make something good in 2026

[gleaming dagger]

Leclerc could be P3 if Ferrari's upgrades help.

By the end of the season of course

[sudden bough]

maybe

it depends if ferrari can get this 2025 car to work

otherwise its either max or george in p3

[gleaming dagger]

I only hope that this new concept helps Ferrari gather more data for 2026 to analyse

Because this season is already done and dusted.

[sudden bough]

the team im looking forward to seeing in 2026 is williams

bc they seem to be focusing on the 2026 car

we need a sainz revenge arc

fr

[pseudo quail]

They thought they’d hit the limit of that concept

[sudden bough]

mclaren have a guaranteed 1-2 in the standings and wcc this year

if thats not happening idk what is

[sleek sinew]

is this tuff in east london

[wooden kettle]

ok…?

[halcyon kraken]

90% of f1 fans stop watching the Monaco gp before seeing a last lap overtake for the lead

[neat fern]

Is it so

[radiant scarab]

Bro typed that everywhere

[untold root]

i have faith in vowels and the team to lock in with some upgrades

[halcyon kraken]

Yup I typed it everywhere

[neat fern]

They’re focusing on 26

[gleaming dagger]

You're right, they said that was supposedly the limit of the concept

And that they couldn't go further

[nocturne basin]

guess who's back?

i don't want crashes

i want action

[sudden bough]

i want good racing

[sudden bough]

the antonelli triple header was brutal for him

[mighty sparrow]

Water bottle

[spare glacier]

williams have stopped developing their 2025 car, focusing on 2026

[normal knoll]

my prediction ocon wins

[tulip kayak]

yes

[queen orbit]

130

[queen orbit]

sadly yeah

[sudden bough]

from p6 down to p7 in the standings and now his closest competitor in the standings is apparently albon

i hope williams 2025 isnt a false early season performance surge like 2022 sauber

williams better cook in 2026

[spare glacier]

probably since they've canned development, but its not been false/lucky the car is genuinely good

[smoky agate]

Bottas finishing P8 in the Sauber was truly incredible lol

[sudden bough]

he finished p10 in the championship in 2022

[tired kernel]

46 points damn

[west yoke]

good old days when being a mclaren fan was so chill

just lando getting some points here and there

dannyric disappointing

good old days

[spare glacier]

I mean Alfa scored 55 pts the whole of that year, and Williams have 54 already this year, so there's that

[umbral talon]

many hadjhoints

[sudden bough]

bottas carried Alfa that year

[sudden bough]

even tho I think sainz will end up p9 in the standings, hadjar is doing amazing for a rookie

maybe yuki could also end up p9 if he starts scoring in the redbull

[umbral talon]

i want to see him take antonellis place in the standings

hadjar deserves to be in a top team

not vcarb, not red bull

if he beat antonelli even if out of reliability issues

[sudden bough]

won’t happen unless Antonellis engine becomes even more Italian

even then it’ll be albon who passes Antonelli in points not hadjar

[umbral talon]

he is reasonably close to albon though

and as you said williams are going to fall off

[sudden bough]

but hadjar might score more bc Williams have canned development

[umbral talon]

yes exactly

[sudden bough]

also where will yuki end up

in standings

[sudden bough]

do u think yuki will be in the top 10 in wdc

[wet sequoia]

Yuki no; I’m unsure if he’ll even last that long

Lindblad turns 18 in August

[sudden bough]

redbull won’t make 2 driver changes in one season

[umbral talon]

no

[umbral talon]

lowkey could

[wet sequoia]

If they’re serious about Lindblad into Red Bull next year, yes they will

[umbral talon]

i think he might replace lawson first though

[pseudo quail]

Surely they learn from Lawson and give lindblad a learning year

They can depend on max for now, lindblad is the future whether max stays or leaves

[sudden bough]

I hope hadjar goes to any team other than redbull next season

[pseudo quail]

Alpine

[sonic epoch]

Definitely not that team

[pseudo quail]

Why not

If he’s good

He stays

And French

[sudden bough]

he’s French

so

he could survive

[pseudo quail]

Yes my point

[sudden bough]

also alpine will have merc engines

[pseudo quail]

Yeah they could be a McLaren 2.0

[sudden bough]

and im pretty sure merc will be good next year

[pseudo quail]

Their aero has rarely been blamed

Just engine

[sudden bough]

bc it’s almost like they have abandoned the current era power units to work on new ones or smth lol

[pseudo quail]

They don’t need to develop engines since 2022

Just reliability

None of the teams really can when it’s frozen

[craggy zenith]

really only Ferrari and Renault had problems with reliability

i guess Honda at the start of 2022 did as well

but they disappeared rather quickly

[sudden bough]

and now merc has issues in 2025

[pseudo quail]

Well merc has had some issues with overheating tbf

[craggy zenith]

and Renault

because that never changed

[sudden bough]

Renault always has issues

but 2022 was worse

[craggy zenith]

Renault just is an issue
