[craggy zenith]

the fact they're only now shutting Viry down is perplexing

they spent 11 years fumbling the Hybrid engines

it's sad to see an engine manufacturer go, but they were never going to put the money in to improve it

so frankly it's better to see them go and have two new OEM's come in instead

[sudden bough]

also

we gotta hope Audi cooks

I want hulk to finally have a good car

and I want to see bortoleto prove himself in better machinery

[wet sequoia]

Audi will be mid at best

And that is a long shot

[proud moss]

Both Lando and Oscar would be p1 in the constructors right now

[neat fern]

They will

[neat fern]

Huh?

[sudden bough]

he’s not wrong

Oscar has enough points to be p1 in constructors alone

so does lando

[craggy zenith]

honestly Audi are probably going to be even worse than that

they fully admit to the fact the engine program is not going well

and they're taking over Sauber

Bad engine + Bad car

[rancid totem]

Hello guys 😭

[craggy zenith]

Cadillac at least has the benefit of taking Ferrari parts for the first few years and since they're starting from scratch, they could go either way

[sudden bough]

how many wins will Bernd Maylander get this year

[molten saffron]

?

What does that have to do with Formula 1?

[sudden bough]

I think ur in the wrong server

[rancid totem]

No Audi will have chance to because Audi is also a German Enginnering Pioneer... And also have some expertise in the Sports Industry so... They can do at least better than Sauber

[neat fern]

thats more ferrari shitbox and redbull only 1 driver and merc engines exploding

[craggy zenith]

in the future maybe

[sudden bough]

he already won the Miami sprint

[craggy zenith]

but they have publically admitted they have been struggling from the start

plus they've basically changed leadership 3 times already

[rancid totem]

It will take time but will worth for a podium for sure for nico

[craggy zenith]

Bro i'm so glad Piastri won the Grand Prix

i was so mad

[sudden bough]

sprint started and ended under sc

the whole thing was pure chaos

and Norris got gifted the win

[craggy zenith]

i would've much rather the sprint have been the lego race

at least it would've been more entertaining

[sudden bough]

sprint was fun to watch
changing conditions made Miami actually sorta good

[sudden bough]

if ur a piastri fan I get why it would be painful tho lol

[craggy zenith]

Honestly, less a straight Piastri fan and more just patriotic in general

but yes it was painful

[sudden bough]

Williams fans had happiness for about an hour

when albon was still p4

[craggy zenith]

yeah that was rough

i am still holding out for the eventual Albon podium

[fast fable]

💀

[sudden bough]

especially cause sainz binned it

so albon was the only source of Williams points

until he got the penalty

[craggy zenith]

Still the source of the majority of their points

Sainz has really been pretty disappointing tbh

every other team he's usually gotten the hang of it pretty quickly

he's really not getting with the Williams

Equally i think people were underselling Albon a lot

He was driving a very difficult Red Bull against Max, who was very critical of the 2020 car

[fast fable]

And an unstable Williams for 3 years.

[craggy zenith]

the only other person in the midfield i would say is better than him, is Gasly

[fast hawk]

And almost got two podiums (possibly a win) if not for Hamilton

[craggy zenith]

I'm pretty sure he would've won in Austria had it not been for that clash

i'm not 100%

but i think he was in a good position

[sudden bough]

doubt the win
but he would have gotten two p2 finishes

[fast hawk]

Impossible to know but yes

[sudden bough]

we don’t rlly know

[fast fable]

Is it funny that everytime Alex reaches close to a podium, Hamilton comes out of nowhere and takes it away?

[fast hawk]

Unfortunately

[craggy zenith]

Brazil is a bit contentious because Hamilton had clear pace over him

he really should've just waited and not tried to force the overtake

Austria was just stupid

[proud moss]

Ferrari are p2 in the constructors and they have less points than lando and oscar individually

so they would be p1 in the constructors by themselves

[craggy zenith]

Merc should be ahead save for the fact only one of their drivers has the majority of the points

and that's not being overly critical; Antonelli is a rookie obviously

he's already doing pretty well

[proud moss]

they would be ahead if they didnt have such bad reliability

[sudden bough]

How to describe Austria:
this guy is such a SORE LOSER

[craggy zenith]

look how long it took Oscar to get to the level he's at

[neat fern]

thats more ferrari shitbox and redbull only 1 driver and merc engines exploding

[proud moss]

ok

[proud moss]

ricky these are not new inters

[craggy zenith]

Albon is at both spectriums, on the one hand that was perfectly accurate

and then there's Germany

"They race me so hard"

yes Alex, you're in a race

I know he was actually commenting on the AlphaTauri's

[sudden bough]

🤯

[craggy zenith]

but that's reason to expect them to race you even harder; you took the guy's seat

[sudden bough]

mindblowing stuff

[sudden bough]

it was looking so good for Antonelli before the triple header

Monaco was on him but Spain and Imola was just terrible luck

before the triple header Antonelli was ahead of Lewis in the standings

[craggy zenith]

Just look at his performance in Miami

qualifying has been his major weakness at the moment

obviously he's not going to be the best in the races, but what rookie is?

he's still doing a pretty good job and is not too far off his teammate

who himself is doing a good job stepping up into the team leader role

[neat fern]

That was mostly because Ferrari got knocked out in q2

[craggy zenith]

It's hard to speak for the other rookies because both Bearman and Ocon seem to randomly swing from overachieving to underachiving race by race

the Sauber is a pile of junk

And well we already lost one rookie at Alpine

Hadjar is doing pretty well, although it would be better as a comparrison if Tsunoda was still in the car

Lawson just isn't there anymore; the Red Bull stint broke him basically

[sudden bough]

his teammate is Mr. Saturday himself so
ofc he will be behind

[craggy zenith]

I hope he does come back, but just look at him

[reef bolt]

Dududu

Max verstappen

[craggy zenith]

2 races aged him by like 15 years

[reef bolt]

Dudududu

Max verstappen

[sudden bough]

Lawson was great at vcarb

[craggy zenith]

He won that seat for a reason

and i always predicted Red Bull would pick him over Tsunoda

[sudden bough]

he should have been given more time

[neat fern]

He lost all the confidence

[sudden bough]

at vcarb

[craggy zenith]

he just had the misfortune of being picked to go to Red Bull

[sudden bough]

this year

[neat fern]

And know they’re trying to destroy Arvid lindblands career

[craggy zenith]

yeah i do worry for him in that regard

[stiff bough]

Perhaps the opposite

[craggy zenith]

obviously Tsunoda is also in that boat

[stiff bough]

There is a lot of investment in him

[craggy zenith]

But should he win F2 this year, Lindblad will go to VCARB

and one of those two will be out

[neat fern]

He should but tsunoda will not be in that seat for long

[craggy zenith]

Hadjar is doing well enough to have job security

Australia was very unfortunate but look at the conditions

[stiff bough]

don’t think anyone really expected Tsunoda to be in the seat for long anyway

[craggy zenith]

pretty much every rookie had some issue; Antonelli was the only one lucky enough to keep it out of the wall

[stiff bough]

He was never rated by Red Bull until they basically had to force their own hand

[craggy zenith]

Hence Lawson's promotion

[sudden bough]

yo is Williams doing smth at the madring rn

with sainz

[craggy zenith]

it was always going to happen because they rated him more highly

[stiff bough]

“Yeah we know he did worse than Tsunoda but he has more potential”

[craggy zenith]

I mean they were fairly even together

[stiff bough]

Paraphrasing but that’s what Horner said after the promotion

[craggy zenith]

but one had been there for half a season, the other for 4 years

I mean, i am still in the delulu camp of saying they should've just put Ricciardo in the Red Bull anyway because he either does a better job than Perez or no worse and you brought him back purely to pressure Perez into doing better

[stiff bough]

Red Bull should have also known a very common characteristic of Lawson in every series he’s driven in

He is very quick off rip and that’s it

What he shows is all there is from him

[craggy zenith]

Lawson has a tendency to win the first race of any series he was in

he also hasn't won a championship since karting

Maybe the Toyota racing series

[stiff bough]

goat things

[craggy zenith]

and he threw Super Formula away on his own

He's super consistant, but he never had that upper edge that you need to actually win a series

I think he still came 4th in F2 in 2022, meaning he lost out to Sargeant

other way round actually he still came 3rd

but equally he lost out to Pourchaire

you know, the guy who won the series despite only winning a single race

[stiff bough]

Pourchaire’s one of the few guys I think got royally screwed over in the feeders

[craggy zenith]

I don't know whether he would've been F1 potential, but the fact he still managed to win F2, and the academy he belonged to did nothing with him is pretty bullshit

There's also the fact he was dropped in Indycar for Siegal, simply because he was apart of the winning LMP2 team at Le Mans and Zak Brown wanted him

and then to further that pain, he ran out of funding

I'm glad he has at least managed to stay in racing in ELMS

unlike Sargeant

I still hate that Indycar downsized their teams since a lot of people lost out of drives they should've had

Pourchaire being one of them

I'd also lump Lundqvist and honestly Vips as well

[hushed olive]

Red bull's situation:
A difficult car
Pérez sacked
Lawson sacked
Tsunoda struggling and with 0 confidence
Max complaining and at risk of race ban
Horner sacking rumours

[lavish ore]

red bull is genuinely a midfield team at best if not for max

can't wait to see what happens after he leaves

[lilac nova]

Negatives:

• Not race week
  Positives:
• Next week race week

[hushed olive]

Even backmarker

The 2 red bull 2nd drivers combined have less points than hulkenberg with a sauber 💀

[lavish ore]

When you put it like that yeah they're hopeless without max jesus

[manic vigil]

there nothing without max lmfao

[remote knoll]

maybe they'd fix the car quicker

[stiff bough]

what happens after he leaves is that the revolving doors stop and the way the cars are developed changes

and then they rebound with another world champion caliber driver

[sand apex]

hadj

[south heron]

yeah I was wondering why IndyCar teams seemed to be smaller now

it really is a shame

[craggy zenith]

Money

really expensive to run a 5 car team and Indycar doesn't make all that much money

plus the charter system they introduced hurts teams running more than 3 cars

[lethal sand]

Indycar has the problem of doing a horrible job at promoting itself outside of the Month of May

[west yoke]

because its trash

the cars look ugly, unstable and the tracks are pretty terrible too

not to mention the drivers have no PR, if people arent into the drivers why would they watch the sport

[shell crest]

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever read and I once was a teaching assistant for intro-level university political science courses. So the bar is pretty high.

[radiant scarab]

Lol

[wooden kettle]

god damn lmao

[shell crest]

people arent into the drivers why would they watch the sport

Because you enjoy motorsport and enjoy the competition and good racing. People don't need to be into motorsport like it's a reality TV show.

[wooden kettle]

this is about indycar?

i think the drivers actually do have pretty good pr

you’re just used to f1 man

[west yoke]

the tracks are genuinely ass

and the racing is not coherent

[shell crest]

Examples? And which F1 tracks are better?

[shell crest]

Idk what this is even supposed to mean.

But sounds pretentious af

[rare sand]

pato

[rare sand]

literally everyone in f1 knows about pato

[shell crest]

Laguna Seca, Road America, IMS, Gateway, Barber, and Long Beach. All trash circuits

🙄

[craggy marsh]

worst thing about indy car is that it’s unwatchable

steps i as a texan have to do to watch each sport:

indycar:
option a:
spend hundreds of dollars on cable or youtube tv
option b:
jump through multiple vpn services to teleport to another continent to watch it for free

f1:
option a:
pay 85$ once per year and watch every race live and get a catalogue of older conten
option b:
simple illegal stream

[wooden kettle]

what the fuck does this even mean

do you know what coherent means…?

[craggy marsh]

i suggest you look at his pfp he’s rage baiting LMAO

[wooden kettle]

i am aware of the pfp

[west yoke]

im not rage baiting indycar sucks

thats why its the league for f1 rejects or american rich kids who arent good enough for f1

[wooden kettle]

can you chill out, like actually

[vital sundial]

vcarb

[west yoke]

its true though, is it not?

[wooden kettle]

it isnt

[west yoke]

schumacher said it

[wooden kettle]

ok and

idgaf about schumacher

[west yoke]

you wanna disagree with a 7 time world champion go ahead

[wooden kettle]

ok then i do

[west yoke]

but hes right

what do u like about indycar

[wooden kettle]

Its cool 🔥

[west yoke]

just because its motorsport doesnt make it inherently good

its pretty bad

and so are the drivers

[wooden kettle]

ok

[west yoke]

like grosjean was considered solid in indy

thats how big of a joke it is

[craggy marsh]

bro was vice champion in f1 bro

[wooden kettle]

are you done being upset or

[west yoke]

grosjean was vice champion in f1? lmao

[craggy marsh]

also why do you care if a series is “better” then another they’re all for entertainment

not that deep

[west yoke]

its simply not good though

this is an f1 server why is everyone defending one of the worse racing categories

their most exciting race is literally an oval

for fucks sakes

i didnt realize turning left was so entertaining to so many

[wooden kettle]

Alright man I’m gonna ask you to stop, because you’re just being toxic atp

[west yoke]

just because i disagree doesn’t mean i’m being toxic bro, it’s simply the truth and would you like to read up and see people call me names for having this opinion or do you want to target only those who disagree with your opinion?

[craggy marsh]

yea i lowkey imagined this one i was COMPLETELY wrong

[west yoke]

like lmao god forbid a mod that works for this server gathers all proper context in a situation before trying to handle it

literally every mod experience ive ever had here has reeked of incompetency idk how yall make it past the trial stage in all honesty

[wooden kettle]

i havent seen a single person call you a name bro

Are you being pretentious?

[west yoke]

not my fault i dont like the redneck version of formula 1

no, he is lmao, bros a poli sci major tryna talk ab being pretentious as if his entire lifes purpose doesnt revolve around debating topics that will never be fixed

[wooden kettle]

seems like the guy is doing a lot less pointless debating than you are.

[toxic siren]

Wasn't the first indycar race before the first F1 race?

[west yoke]

the first indycar race could have been before the dinasours and i would still call it ass

dinosaurs*

like lmao

[toxic siren]

I feel like you are just unwilling to give it a chance and are complaining about it.

[craggy marsh]

then why is it faster??

[toxic siren]

Which is okay. That's your right.

[west yoke]

do a whole lap comparison

please lmao

f1 is seconds faster per lap

by that logic motogp is faster than f1

[wet sequoia]

Do you take offence to every tiny thing levelled against you?

[toxic siren]

Apparently so.

[wooden kettle]

lol hi crown

[west yoke]

no, i just cant believe people think indycar is good lmao

[toxic siren]

While throwing shade at other motorsport as well.

[west yoke]

ive tried to watch that series and it sucks

[toxic siren]

For some reason I highly doubt that.

[wet sequoia]

Hey Terra you lovely rainbow person, hi Cos you lovely rainbow person

[west yoke]

well i love motorsport and i watch stuff like le mans and rally

[wooden kettle]

hi crown you lovely rainbow person

[west yoke]

but indy is simply terrible le

[toxic siren]

You talk about IndyCar about in the same way I'd expect an uneducated and uninformed person to.

[wooden kettle]

we’re going in circles

[west yoke]

okay whats so exciting about middycar

[toxic siren]

So I doubt you've watched more than a few minutes if that.

[west yoke]

yea not my fault they cant entertain me

[toxic siren]

I don't personally watch it either, but I'm not going around insulting what other people like.

[wet sequoia]

I don’t like IndyCar as well but I don’t throw shit at Gucci for liking it

[toxic siren]

I don't like it.

[craggy marsh]

indy cars are so hard to drive in iracing it’s crazy

[wet sequoia]

Sorry, fixed

[toxic siren]

I've not watched more than a few minutes of IndyCar ever.

Difference is, I'm an asshole but I'm not judgemental.

[west yoke]

what is bro on about

you’re not him bro

it sucks

you dont gotta do a whole dialogue

[raven wagon]

The only thing I dont like about Indycar is like the crashes, like I saw many clips of drivers losing the car and hitting the wall hard and the car just flips upside down in the air

[wooden kettle]

holy shit

[west yoke]

the series is simply terrible

[wet sequoia]

We get it

You don’t like it

[wooden kettle]

brother’s started hitting a dialogue loop

[wet sequoia]

Now stop starting fights and being toxic about the entire thing

[craggy marsh]

it’s a problem with the car the chassis just does that but they make changes to prevent

[toxic siren]

It's like in Skyrim when you keep chatting to the same person on accident.

[west yoke]

i didnt start shit 😭 people came at me for acting like indycar is the poor man’s formula 1 (it is)

[wooden kettle]

… that sounds like starting shit to me

[west yoke]

i didnt realize i was in an indycar pato o’ward fanclub server

god damn

[wet sequoia]

But it’s fun finding the guards who took an arrow to the knee

[toxic siren]

They are completely different sports.

[west yoke]

idk maybe as a mod you shouldn’t really take part in arguments and try to defuse them

[toxic siren]

One has a constructor championship and builds their own cars. The other doesn't.

[west yoke]

again idk how any of you make it past the trial stage

genuinely impressive

same hiring standards as mcdonald’s here lmao

[wet sequoia]

That’s literally there job to keep order

A job they don’t get paid for

[wooden kettle]

… I do this for fun bro. In my spare time.

[west yoke]

yea not try to argue with me

makes that a bit more pathetic no

[toxic siren]

No, we are allowed to argue.

I mean, why wouldn't we be

[west yoke]

oh yes mods are allowed to argue great way to regulate the chats

[wooden kettle]

I’m tryna get you to stop being toxic, that’s all I’m tryna do.

[toxic siren]

Yes...

[west yoke]

you should be neutral

[toxic siren]

No.

[wet sequoia]

They’re human as well you shit, not robots

[toxic siren]

Absolutely not.

[west yoke]

whatever bro this is genuinely dumb as hell

[toxic siren]

Fuck McLaren, fuck Lando, fuck Mercedes, and fuck Lewis Hamilton.

Go Max.

[west yoke]

okay?

what is bro tryna achieve

ima go watch star wars now

[toxic siren]

Anti-neutrality.

I think I got there.

[wooden kettle]

ok cool i hope you have the night you deserve man

[wet sequoia]

Ok Terra how many drivers are deliberating hitting other drivers

[toxic siren]

Zero.

No race is going on.

[toxic siren]

You have fun doing that.

Just make sure you don't bring it here because of rule 2f.

[wet sequoia]

Shush don’t tell him that

[west yoke]

the fan fiction depicts them dominating the rest of the field

but its not fiction

its just last weeks highlights

[toxic siren]

Yeah. I'm aware. I watched the race.

why would daddy stroll drop his son now 😭

Injured stroll does better

[wooden kettle]

nmmmmm

[proven leaf]

Wait while strodium

[molten saffron]

And 2026 probably won't be a whole lot better

[wooden kettle]

idk man

[craggy marsh]

they’re going all in for 2026

[west yoke]

better than being stuck as second in red bull and go to an exciting project

[raven wagon]

Not like Yuki is doing any better in that Redbull seat

[craggy marsh]

why not

[raven wagon]

Aston now can fight for points

[proven leaf]

Yuki to Aston might be a better move

If lance or Alonso leaves

[west yoke]

yuki will prolly do better in aston martin than in the RB

[molten saffron]

Not like anyone was doing better in that seat

[wet sequoia]

Alonso will probably retire come 2027

[proven leaf]

Aston Martin , the legend graveyard

[proven leaf]

Probably

[craggy marsh]

lance and alonso aren’t dumb enough to leave aston after this year lmao

[raven wagon]

Yeah so why wouldnt Yuki go to Aston if given the chance

[wet sequoia]

Unless next year he gets close to a WDC

[raven wagon]

Alonso contract ends next year I think

[molten saffron]

It's an entirely new regulation set... How well did that go for Aston last time? Newey isn't a magician

[raven wagon]

And he mentioned that it might be his last contract

[craggy marsh]

bro literally is magic 😭

[molten saffron]

No he isn't

[raven wagon]

They have Andy Cowell

And Enrico Cadile

[molten saffron]

He's good but people give him too much credit

[wet sequoia]

It’s still loosely a ground effect car

[craggy marsh]

red bull had the best aero from 2010 to like 2024 where he started working in the rb17

[wet sequoia]

Which is Newey’s area of expertise

[west yoke]

aston realistically best case scenario can fight for podiums some races and fight for P4-P7 consistently

if honda does well with the engine and newey hasnt lost his touch its pretty plausible

[craggy marsh]

no they can make a championship worth car

[west yoke]

especially with red bull struggling and ferrari being behind development for the engine in 26

[raven wagon]

If given the chance Yuki will go to Aston

[west yoke]

for sure

[raven wagon]

Cause its not like hes fighting for podiums and wins in that RB21

[craggy marsh]

they’ve punted on this year alonso said they’re main goal this year is to maximize correlation between air tunnel and track

[raven wagon]

Hes like fighting for the positions Aston rn are challenging

[craggy marsh]

yuki just needs a seat next atp let’s be honest

[regal needle]

Race Day next week!

Hopefully we see Lance return

[wet sequoia]

Red Bull do want Lindblad in the car

Regardless of who leaves Red Bull next year he’s sure to get a seat

[regal needle]

They plan to keep Isack Hadjar maybe

Maybe a Multi Year Contract

[craggy marsh]

free hadjar bro

[west yoke]

red bull try not to destroy some no name rookie’s reputation under unfair circumstances (impossible)

[craggy marsh]

go steal the alpine seat

i KNOW they want a double french lineup again

[regal needle]

Isack from starting in an emotional Crash in Melbourne into a Strong Finish to the points, Really gonna make him one of the Best Rookie so far in this Season

So does Kimi

[wet sequoia]

Kimi is in a Mercedes though

It was to be expected he’d be ahead

Hadjar is the surprise of the season

[craggy marsh]

hadjar far and away best rookie this year

[regal needle]

Kimi had 2 DNF so far

[wet sequoia]

Both not his fault yeah

[regal needle]

Last Time was Power Unit Trouble

[wet sequoia]

Both times was the same reason

Imola he didn’t crash in the race

[regal needle]

But it's a Throttle Issue

[raven wagon]

However he did crash in Monaco quali

[regal needle]

Kimi's only Radio Crash in F1 25 is.. "He crashed into the wall"

[wet sequoia]

Yeah Hadjar also clipped the same area in FP

But in GP’s Kimi hasn’t sent it into the wall yet

[proven leaf]

Seconded by kimi by hadjar is not absolutely miles off but yes by a significant margin

[craggy marsh]

kimis doing solid but he’s losing to his teammate so that means he isn’t maximizing the car

[proven leaf]

It's george russel man 😭

My man's a great driver

[craggy marsh]

yea ik lol not totally fair

but like

hadjars winning his teammate battle by a lot

i think if i have hadjar a 100 rating for the season id give kimis season so far a 80

[proven leaf]

Hadjars teammate is lawson dawg

But true

Id give a 100 90 tho

[craggy marsh]

fair

[proven leaf]

Opinions regardless

[craggy marsh]

lawson such a silly guy

red bull stunted his growth so badly it sucked

i remember in 2023 he was literally the best young driver not in f1 after that AT stint

[daring berry]

😒 keeping a close eye on you

[wet sequoia]

Sounds creepy

So I guess there's no three strikes and you're out rule in of1d?

No, it's more of a once you get a 7d you're close to final warning/ban

Some 7d are instant final warnings, others aren't

Tell that to Sol Invictus, I'm pretty sure he just came back from his second 7 day

I highly recommend you take some classes on feeding comprehension. You might find it useful. Stop trying to play victim.

GodDAMN

[snow swan]

[south heron]

damn that really sucks

[late vigil]

mclaren 1-3 will do

[snow swan]

As long as Lando is the p3

[late vigil]

yea

[tulip kayak]

yesyes

[blissful orbit]

as long as i get a McLaren 1-2, im fine with any bad weather

is Stroll out btw

[edgy moon]

Hulkenberg passed Ferrari's red tractor with his green tractor and took the P5 from Lewis, very cool move

[lavish ore]

a bizarre occurrence

[edgy moon]

I don't think so, he did what Charles couldn't do

[lavish ore]

sauber was especially strong that weekend, had a good strategy, and ferrari was having problems with an already poorly performing car. Just an unfortunate combination of circumstances

an embarrassing combination, even

[edgy moon]

Plus the Ferrari pit stop was pretty awful

[blissful orbit]

still shouldn't get overtaken by a Sauber imo

Lewis had floor damage

which is understandable

[lavish ore]

he did kind of just let it happen, dude was extremely defeated that weekend he thought it was just him underperforming

[edgy moon]

Lewis definitely wants to return to Mercedes after seeing this state of Ferrari

[lavish ore]

there's hope for next year

[blissful orbit]

nah

he went all in

with red

[edgy moon]

Alonso is leaving after 2026 😭😭😭

[lavish ore]

this year is basically done, i'm praying they just use what they learn to improve next year's car

but maybe silverstone will bring something good

[blissful orbit]

^

[latent forge]

most likely

[blissful orbit]

next regs set should suit Hamilton back

[edgy moon]

Maybe

[blissful orbit]

without the ground effect

[lavish ore]

yeah ground effect way less important, and that's what has really been affecting his driving

[blissful orbit]

Leclerc, Verstappen & Norris adapted the quickest to these regs

[edgy moon]

Don't say that Ferrari is finished now, they would be nothing without Charles. Lewis is always in P7 anyway

[blissful orbit]

who knows

[lavish ore]

ferrari are also very well acquainted with the turbo setup that'll be way more important next year without mgu-h

so hopefully more speed

[edgy moon]

I don't think so, the driver also has some influence

[lavish ore]

he does, but only so much

lewis's driving style just doesn't work with the ground effect cars

[edgy moon]

We will see

[lavish ore]

and it's obviously hard to unlearn years and years of driving a certain way

[edgy moon]

Also Ferrari cars seem to be too heavy

[blissful orbit]

thing is, Mercedes would do it better i believe

tbf i predict Mercedes to be winning the next regs with Aston close

[edgy moon]

This year was a process of getting used to Ferrari, I hope he does a good job next year

[blissful orbit]

if ur talking about this year's car then no

[lavish ore]

mercedes is definitely the favorite for new regs yeah, but with any luck ferrari won't be far behind

[blissful orbit]

the problem is with that rear end

has 0 coordination with the front

which is what Ferrari's prime struggles are this season

[lavish ore]

for sure, it's always a year or so of adjustment, learning how the car behaves, how to use it. Charles is of course very familiar so even with a bad car he can work with it as we're seeing now

[edgy moon]

Did you see Ferrari's pit stop? It's a complete disgrace

[lavish ore]

a tragic incident

[blissful orbit]

Ferrari has the fastest pitstops this season

[lavish ore]

but ferrari has been the best at pitstops this season

[edgy moon]

Defineftly

[blissful orbit]

and consistently too

so pitstops are a non-issue

the strategy & that rear suspension is

[lavish ore]

hopefully the new rear suspension helps, but i'm sure it's not going to be a miracle solution

[blissful orbit]

if they cant get it ight by Silverstone, they will switch focus completely to 26

[edgy moon]

I'm not sure, it seems like there could be a problem at any time.

[blissful orbit]

like RedBull have done now

[edgy moon]

Yea

[lavish ore]

yep, season is done after all, the gap is just too huge for any hope at winning either title

[blissful orbit]

RedBull wont be brining anymore upgrades or anything major this year

[lavish ore]

maybe at least P2 in constructors if merc and red bull can't get their stuff together

[edgy moon]

26?

[blissful orbit]

yh

[edgy moon]

Red Bull has already reached its capacity

[edgy moon]

Maybe they can bring a new update to Mercedes, but Red Bull will stay in its place, I guess

[blissful orbit]

RedBull (or Max basically) is close to McLaren on quali pace, all of em are relatively closer but its race pace

where we put everyone to dust

Ferrari have the upper hand on race pace to Mercedes so P2 is in the bag surely

[edgy moon]

Imagine Max in his McLaren car, he would literally fly

[blissful orbit]

I wanna see Max in our car for once

i hope he joins us (he won't but ill stay delulu)

[edgy moon]

Don't forget Russels always takes p3

[blissful orbit]

my fav driver in my fav team dream stuff

[radiant scarab]

MaxLaren

[edgy moon]

Me too

[edgy moon]

Puhahhahaha

[edgy moon]

Yes you are crazy. Because Max was born for red bull

[radiant scarab]

I love Max so I'll pray he never joins Ferrari

[gleaming dagger]

Rare W Binotto

[edgy moon]

Hmph, I want Max instead of Norris... Norris is disgusting

[radiant scarab]

Should have brought Vasseur in to replace binotto earlier too

[gleaming dagger]

For marketability, it's a brilliant move. On the racing part though.... he'll retire soon and isn't performing that well.

[edgy moon]

Why is Binotto so right? 😭😭😭

[gleaming dagger]

Because he wasn't the core of the problem at Ferrari during his time

[edgy moon]

I still want Sainz to Ferrari.... I miss chill and smooth operator

Whatever....Who do you think will take the pole position in Canada?

Sundaram R (@f1statsguru)

Lewis Hamilton has scored a podium in every F1 season he’s raced in.

He’s never had to wait longer than Round 10 for his first podium of the year (2009 & 2024).

The next race in Canada is Round 10. Will he keep the streak alive?

X · Jun 6, 2025, 9:00 AM

god please

[gleaming dagger]

There's always a first time

He failed to maintain his win streak in 2022

[teal acorn]

Is Montreal good for racing? Trying to get my non F1 fan friend to watch a race with me?

[gleaming dagger]

Eh.... it can produce entertainment sometimes

But not the best choice to go for

Last season's race was good

[lavish ore]

yeah it can be

i'd say it's probably good more often than bad

[teal acorn]

Okay, because I will watch the F1 movie with her so I thought that maybe she should see a race before that

[lavish ore]

introducing people to f1 is always tough

it's so much more than just the cars on the track

[teal acorn]

Yeah, but she has listen to me vent a lot soo... On the right track

Wish me luck...

sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit

im expecting so

they thrive in cold conditions

It's a Russell win time

[spare glacier]

[radiant scarab]

Stop it

[lilac rose]

Will come back to this after next Sunday

[radiant scarab]

I'll be waiting with Ferrari hat and lewis xnda cd

[sudden bough]

lol

ok but merc are actually good in colder conditions i think

just like 2024

[sudden bough]

actually good opinion by binotto?

tbf in sauber it seems like hes doing well

[blissful orbit]

I think they'll be up there in quali but on race day, the McLarens will still pull away given the rear limited nature of this track

and they havent been 2024 levels of strong this year in colder condtions either

Okay

[west yoke]

i think its pretentious to be tryna @ me when im asleep just because you wanna watch indymid

bro tryna tell me to take classes on reading comprehension and cant even spell it right

go back to giving classes to the stupidest major on earth, i hope you sleep well knowing you will have 0 impact on the world and your work and entire profession is pointless

[smoky agate]

good time to remind everyone of rule 1 LOL

[west yoke]

i dodnt know people in a formula 1 server would be so offended at me calling indycar mid

genuinely impressed

i could design an indycar with my left nut and then drive it with my right one

[smoky agate]

the reminder was meant to be a reminder to chill out

we’re not going to continue with this any further

[west yoke]

okay but just saying anyone who disagrees is also disagreeing with 7 time world champion and formula one GOAT michael schumacher

[snow swan]

💀💀💀

[smoky agate]

Schumacher said and did a lot of stupid things tbh that’s nothing new

[west yoke]

i hope he stops being braindead though

he didnt deserve that

[smoky agate]

(I say as an ex-Schumacher fan)

[west yoke]

why ex?

[smoky agate]

well he’s not exactly racing right now lol there’s not much to be a fan of

[lilac rose]

https://tenor.com/view/snickers-snickers-satisfies-gif-5270238

[west yoke]

fair lmao

its sad seeing people believe that he will returj one day as a normal person

he is quite literally gone

just a shell

[smoky agate]

🤷‍♂️

it’s pointless to make speculations

we have no information to go off of

[west yoke]

flavio said something not long ago

something along the lines that it hurts seeing him the way he is now

[smoky agate]

yes I somehow highly doubt the Flav™️’s information lmfao

ok we’re not using that descriptor

rephrase that and it’s fine

[west yoke]

i trust flavio he wouldnt lie about something like that

that would be a new low even for him

but schumacher is such a sensitive topic around the paddock and they were good friends apparently off track too

[smoky agate]

I don’t really mean that Flavio lied to us, I just distrust him because he has a knack for overplaying/underplaying things

I’m sure if Schumacher had recovered the family would’ve sent something out

considering the legions of fans who still support him today

as I said it’s pointless to speculate because we’re just guessing, the true condition and any progress of Schumacher is only known to his family

[west yoke]

i agree

quite a fucked up thing to say innit

yea delete it

lol

good boy

[blissful orbit]

No

[feral herald]

Guys

There are rumors of George and Aston Martin

[lilac rose]

Not happening

[feral herald]

Still

Ik max won’t go to Aston

What if he goes to merc?

[fresh sapphire]

hi ppl

[neat fern]

They wouldn’t get rid of Russel

[feral herald]

Unless max agrees to come

[neat fern]

You think he would sack Russel for max?

[feral herald]

Not surely

Look at bottas case

[neat fern]

Wdym?

[feral herald]

2021 he underperformed and it was announced that russel will replace him

Even though 2017-2020 he helped merc win constructor’s

Toto was eager to sign max

It honestly tough to say who will replace who

Max might replace kimi or George

Both are good drivers

[neat fern]

I think Toto see bigger potential in Kimi

But think is happy with the pairing

[feral herald]

I wish so aswell

But it would be cool if in an alternate universe, max joins merc

That might happen if George goes to Aston Martin

[neat fern]

Think max will retire rather than switch teams

Max will prolly see the 26 redbull

But I think redbull will be below Williams in 26

With their new PU

[feral herald]

Yeah

But still it'll be cool to see him in black

[neat fern]

Yeah

[shell crest]

George has a higher floor but Kimi a higher ceiling imo

[blissful orbit]

Likely negotiation tactics by George

he's done it with RedBull too

[stiff bough]

Don’t think it was a matter of underperforming, just that his time was done.

[feral herald]

I mean

He wasn't bad

[blissful orbit]

It was more of a Russell's impressive performance than Valterri performing bad (which he wasnt otherwise they wouldnt win constructors)

[pseudo quail]

It’s George or max. Kimi is expected to be the next max so they know what his potential is. They also know George would never get upto max’s level. They’re happy with George but they would be happier with max i think, unless max drops off his pace soon

[feral herald]

Yeah

[feral herald]

Well that's true, but bottas was good aswell getting podiums and wins

He is such an underrated driver

He should be in Cadillac with zhou

[woven condor]

max will never go to mercedes

[feral herald]

Who knows

In an alternate universe

[woven condor]

but then again if you told someone from 2020 that lewis would join ferrari they would be hysterical

[feral herald]

Rb sometimes doesn't perform well

Ikr

[tender cypress]

@blissful orbit u also play valorant?

[woven condor]

welcome back zhouttas

[feral herald]

Who knew that lewis would have left mercedes

[feral herald]

Zhou should be given a chance man

Bottas and zhou is a good lineup

[woven condor]

how bad was logan sargeant that i rarely see him in the running for the caddy seat despite being american

[feral herald]

Sergio is also good but still

[feral herald]

Sargeant was good in crashing lol

[woven condor]

who knows maybe be might have shaken off his addiction to crashing off late

[feral herald]

If i wanted to see an American

It should haven been Colton herta

Much better than logan

Williams at least gave logan a chance

[sudden bough]

he found a way to crash basically every race weekend

he was horrible

[pseudo quail]

Yeah exactly, always a non zero chance max moves teams

[radiant scarab]

Sky sports giving away Canada gp 2011 for "free" right now🔥

Schumi in Merc, lewis in McLaren, these were crazy times

Okay lewis just dnf'd

[pseudo quail]

Quite bad considering how colapinto then performed. Perez was thought to be a similar sort of bad driver but Lawson and Tsunoda have saved his image atleast. Williams also have sainz on level with Albon and that gives a pretty good comparison between all these good drivers and Sargeant

[radiant scarab]

3rd safety car in 20 laps💀

[finite hearth]

perez was not bad

[zealous ginkgo]

any predictions for 2026 grid

?

[vague portal]

No

[fervent wind]

I was wondering why there aren't any Americans in f1

all I've heard of was logan

[neat fern]

Stroll is close enough

[quaint kite]

who was the last american before Logan? Alex Rossi?

[fervent wind]

In that case Perez should be as well

[tiny tide]

George Russell in Roland Garros!

Say hello to George😀😀😀💙💙

The Final is a big battle!

And Dustin Hoffman too😀😀💙💙

[blissful orbit]

yes

[feral herald]

F1 is America isn’t popular enough

It’s like a whole different thing for them

Even if there is motorsports it’s just nascar or Indy car, car racing isn’t popular enough

[tiny tide]

F1 is much better and higher quality than IndyCar, but IndyCar nice too...USA shoudl turn more into F1 I think, I mean engage more in it

[flint anvil]

Yes

[sand apex]

It is! Its just they prefer their local variants more mainly due to regional-state support compared to rooting for personality or skill

Even if the driver from your hometown sucks you'll still support them

Unless its Danica I don't think they like her even where she's from

[flint anvil]

Well Indycar has the better historical race, the indy500

[sand apex]

Indy is better in a lot of ways 🚬

But we have the better drama

[flint anvil]

Was so happy when i found out that the 500 was after monaco

[sand apex]

Same, watched the start but then fell asleep and didn't see the end

One day I'll enjoy the 500 live just gotta not fall asleep

[feral herald]

Lmao she is the worse

[feral herald]

The only reason f1 is better is because of drama and for business

It’s just all about money now

[stiff bough]

Marketing

[feral herald]

The f1 movie and the Disney collab

[feral herald]

Still

It changes people look at f1

[stiff bough]

Indy does 0 marketing outside of the Indy 500

[feral herald]

Yeah

Hypercars, I hope they do

[stiff bough]

0 storytelling, 0 reason to care

[feral herald]

Ford and Mclaren are coming

[feral herald]

Yes

Exactly

[acoustic bolt]

what about indy

[sand apex]

Indycar is solely about racing, which tbh makes it better than F1 in a lot of regards

[stiff bough]

Not in the ones people care about

[sand apex]

But that's not really why people follow sports religiously

[feral herald]

It depends on the viewer aswell

F1 circuits are different and as compared to Indy

[acoustic bolt]

whats wrong with f1 lol

[feral herald]

Indy is more oval like racing

[feral herald]

F1 isn’t bad lol but it has drama that’s why I like it

Like so many things happen in f1

[sand apex]

Talking about the technical and talent aspects of it, that's where Indy really shines specially with their "feeder" side series

[acoustic bolt]

yes

[sand apex]

Nothing?

[acoustic bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/runsawaygiggling-gif-25250265

[feral herald]

When?

[cyan saffron]

never

[acoustic bolt]

no

[flint anvil]

Indy has more non oval circuits tbf

[feral herald]

It might tho

[sand apex]

Y'all like

[feral herald]

Who knows

[stiff bough]

Only an avid viewer would care about it

[sand apex]

Indy may have the slower car and better drivers but F1 has amx and ps3

And that's more fun

[feral herald]

Amx,

?

[sand apex]

That's why I'm saying that about Indy, its more or less focused on skill and locality compared to F1 where it focuses more on the "experience package"

You don't really root for teams in Indy the way we do in F1

Or follow basically everything about drivers and have commercial body-organised media events

[acoustic bolt]

f1 has

me

[feral herald]

Well most of the people wouldn’t even watch f1 if it was for drama

Its all about the marketing

[sand apex]

DTS:

[stiff bough]

Don’t think I’d wanna root for any of the teams tbh

[feral herald]

That’s the issue

[stiff bough]

A lot of them are ran by scumbags

[feral herald]

F1 was just f1

No dts virus or anything

[sand apex]

Shoutouts to Flavio btw

Hate you dearly

[feral herald]

LMAOO

[feral herald]

Who doesn’t

[sand apex]

Shoutouts to Ayao I love you bro u my goat I will follow you wherever you go

[stiff bough]

and when Schumacher had left the sport went into a decline in popularity

No reason to care

[sand apex]

Even pre-Liberty, there was still a push for driver being more like celebrities

[feral herald]

I like how franco fans are so blind that they even will comment “VAMOS FRANCO” in a post where it shows he dnf’d

[sand apex]

And yeah wsd about the mention Schumacher lmao

[stiff bough]

just liberty played their cards right and got people to care

[feral herald]

Cadillac should consider bottas and zhou

[stiff bough]

certainly a lineup.

[feral herald]

Yeah

[sand apex]

Now its basically a full time job to be a F1 driver

[feral herald]

Yea

[sand apex]

Checo-Bottas is the only lineup I'd even consider working

[feral herald]

I agree checo is good but zhou should be given a chance

[sand apex]

Zhou has been great but I doubt they'll get started with a rookie, specially a non-American

[stiff bough]

He had 3 years

He didn’t show himself to be valuable to Sauber in that time, certainly won’t to any other team

[feral herald]

Look, sergio at racing point was performing good even at force india (except for that one win) but as soon as he got into redbull he started to get podiums and wins

[acoustic bolt]

zhouuuuuuuuuuu

[sand apex]

If they gave a rookie a seat, it'd be an American

[acoustic bolt]

logan sargoat

bring him back

[sand apex]

Not Mick or Zhou who even during their "rookie" years fucking flopped

[feral herald]

Point is zhou has been in a bad car and was the only driver in 2024 to score points for sauber

He is still young

[feral herald]

Mick already build his career at hypercars

[stiff bough]

Him scoring the points doesn’t matter though

[fast fable]

So, technically Sauber rejects?

[stiff bough]

He didn’t do good that year

[feral herald]

If he came back to f1 it would be a huge gamble

[sand apex]

It does tho

[feral herald]

What you mean

Look at nyck now

[sand apex]

I will also like add that Zhou's career will forever be overshadowed by his accident and the fact he's Chinese

[acoustic bolt]

nihao fine shit

[feral herald]

His dream was to race in f1 but when he didn’t go the seat he made his debut in formula e and became a world champion, when he a got a seat in f1 he wasn’t performing good
