[mighty flame]

Leclerc and his water theories

❤️

[somber comet]

Okay

HULK PODIUM

question though

Piastri got a 10 second time penalty

For doing the same as russell as canada...

[median flame]

yes

schumacher also did something similar way back in 2000

[somber comet]

Which by the way, didnt get a penalty?

[median flame]

apparently Piastri had like more brake pressure which violated a certain rule

regarding bunching up the field

[somber comet]

And oscar's you could argue surprised max because of the low visibility

[somber comet]

F2 had that happen too then

[subtle crest]

What are your thoughts on Oscar’s penalty, guys?

[somber comet]

I think

[somber comet]

5 seconds imo

[median flame]

it was a bit marginal

[somber comet]

10 is just stupid

[subtle crest]

Yeah, I wouldn’t say a word if he had gotten five

[raven wagon]

10 is the minimum pen

[somber comet]

Considering it was the same move russell pulled

[subtle crest]

5 is minimum, look at the guidelines

[median flame]

at least it wasnt like when Schumacher did it in 2000 where button went off the track and lost his front wing

[median flame]

*italy 2000 btw

[somber comet]

Thats crazy

[median flame]

however if there was any other motive behind Piastri slowing down and bunching up the field (not that I think that there was) it surely worked since verstappen spun on the way to the line, lol

[last heart]

true...

[subtle crest]

I mean rule number 1 - Never count out Verstappen but I do feel like Oscar knows that Lando is a threat, given that Max can’t do very much in the sh*tbox he has.

[median flame]

this is a screenshot of when schumacher bunched up the field in Monza

clearly, this was worse since a car went off the track

but i dont think he got a penalty

[subtle crest]

It was just unfortunate, the safety car lights went off too f*cking late, Oscar overreacted and applied too much brake pressure. Though it shouldn’t really matter when the stewards decide about the penalty, it caused Max’s spin only indirectly because the avoiding action wasn’t the cause. Max getting thrown off by it was the cause

[upbeat portal]

Hulkenberg fr got a podium in a green Honda Civic

[subtle crest]

I wasn’t even alive back then but outcomes shouldn’t matter now in penalties

[raven wagon]

Fia back then had different rules and guidelines

[subtle crest]

He would’ve won if he had a Civic instead of Steyr Tractor

[raven wagon]

Like serving a time pen in the pits during the last lap it wasnt included until Michael did it

[subtle crest]

Oh, my dad told me about that

[median flame]

right

[subtle crest]

He won a race that way, no?

[median flame]

he did

since the ferrari pitbox was beyond the finish line

[subtle crest]

F1 has gotten a bit too soft, no?

We can only imagine how long would James Hunt last in the sport today🤣.

Or how delighted would the stewards be with Silverstone 1991

[median flame]

Kind of

since minor debris could cause a safety car now

[subtle crest]

A few drops of rain do really

[median flame]

back then it was just a yellow flag and a marshall running onto the track to retrieve it

[raven wagon]

Well the debris can cause a puncture

[median flame]

granted, the safety car in the race was probably caused by the spray

[junior granite]

vsc exists

and also yellow flag and marshall sounds like a great way to get a flattened marshall

[subtle crest]

Yeah I mean the sport didn’t use to be exactly safe

[median flame]

right

[subtle crest]

By the way have you guys seen James Hunt punch a marshall?

[median flame]

yes

in Canada 1977

[subtle crest]

It was 1977 season but whether it was Canada? I rely on your knowledge

And how he just waited for Jarier to show him a gesture before crossing the track on foot in Monaco. Modern F1 would love this.

[median flame]

yes

from what i saw it was in Mosport park if im not mistaken

[median flame]

ohhhh that was in 1975

[queen orbit]

shouldve been 5 but norris wouldve won anyway

[storm needle]

Nah 10 is fair

in dry conditions maybe 5 but in wet with no visibility and already poor tire temps, braking radically and immediately starting the race was a terrible idea

[molten saffron]

Imo Piastri did nothing wrong

Just as the commentators were saying

[storm needle]

huh

he literally realized that he did something weird in the cooldown room

[tardy pulsar]

imo what piastri did was dangerous could have easily caused a collision which would have concertinaed. look at tuscan2020

[molten saffron]

I mean, Max was distracted, looked up, and thought Piastri had gone, meanwhile Piastri was just kinda creating a gap to the safety car. Yea he slowed down fairly quick but based on the onboard there wasn't much spray to be seen at least from what I saw. I think 5 should've been the most

[storm needle]

yea he was lucky max wasn't in line with him

[molten saffron]

Just watch Max's onboard, he was stretching in the car and not really paying attention until he realized Piastri was moving farther away

[storm needle]

it woulda been a collision

[tardy pulsar]

but the brake pressure was at 60PSI which is kinda erratic

but oh well

[storm needle]

george's was 30 right

[tardy pulsar]

yeah something like that

[storm needle]

verstappen wasn't the only one affected, even hulkenberg said that it messed him up

[molten saffron]

Sure but 10s was still harsh, it definitely wasn't intentional by Piastri I don't think unless I missed him saying something

[molten saffron]

I mean obviously the penalty was given out by the stewards so it doesn't really matter what we think

[tardy pulsar]

I think the visibility doenst help either could have easily been antonelli and hadjar 2.0

[storm needle]

it was def intentional, he's done it before, but i think he didn't mean for it to be that drastic

[storm needle]

yea

[mellow sun]

I disagree on it being intentional

Like

What would be the point here?

[storm needle]

look what happened to max

he wants to get a cheeky lead over max but he did it too drastically

it's a good strategy just poorly executed

[mellow sun]

Max's tires were shot, his pace wasn't particularly great and the only reason he was second was because Norris had a bad pit time

There was really no point to doing it

[storm needle]

max is also really good at restarts

[molten saffron]

Max's setup was shit

The McLarens would've been past him either way

[storm needle]

i don't think oscar dismissed max behind him lol

he definetly not thinking about all that

[mellow sun]

No amount of restarts could fix his setup or the fact his tires were fucked from drifting through half the corners

[storm needle]

yes once again oscar doesn't know about this

[mellow sun]

I don't think he dismissed him, but I severely doubt he saw a need to cheap shot Max Verstappen just to get him to what?

Crash?

Why would he do that?

Not to mention he almost took himself out too

[raven wagon]

Slowing down to back up the pack when the safety car comes in is normal

What isnt normal is slamming on the brakes in the middle of the straight

[mellow sun]

He definitely knows Max was slipping around corners

He's right behind him

[mellow sun]

Yea like I kept saying earlier, the issue was never the breaking

It was how HARD he was breaking

[raven wagon]

Yeah hence the pen

Cause he applied 60psi to brake

[mellow sun]

Warranted 10 second penalty

But also Max ended up fucking himself on his start lol

I mean I'm sure he was just distracted and didn't think of the conditions he was in after having to dodge Piastri

[royal kiln]

Is it true that, Sauber didn't have any Champagne to celebrate? 😭

[mellow sun]

But he's a professional, he's supposed to think of these things

[snow swan]

My hot take: Piastri got a harsh 10s penalty because he's not British 😭

[mellow sun]

10 seconds was not harsh

If anything it was lenient

[snow swan]

Lmao what

What's harsher than 10s?

20 sec for that?

[mellow sun]

10 seconds is the bare minimum the rules applied for that situation

[storm needle]

i said this before

he didn't want to crash

he wanted max to have a bad restart

but he did it too severely

[mellow sun]

I think you're thinking too deep into it

[storm needle]

he's done it before lol

[mellow sun]

He couldn't see the lights of the car, so he stopped

It wasn't a problem before

And it wasn't a problem there

[storm needle]

because he didn't do it drastically..

[mellow sun]

The problem was him going 60 PSI and going down from 250 to 60

[storm needle]

yes... which is drastic

[mellow sun]

I'm saying that's not a strategy

That's what you do

He didn't see the lights of the car

So he stopped to not ram into it

[snow swan]

Can't wait for this silly goose to hit back like he did in China after the Melbourne heartbreak. Spa is a sprint weekend too and he loves it

[storm needle]

yet the back car will ram into him

[mellow sun]

Because he stopped too hard

That was the penalty

[snow swan]

Lando's luck is getting better and better

[raven wagon]

And also Max having to take evasive action

[storm needle]

if it was just because of the safety car why did he almost immediately start the race

[mellow sun]

And it was 10 seconds instead of 5 because it was in harsh conditions

[mellow sun]

Because he could see the safety car was gone?

[storm needle]

he braked severely, waited a second or two pratically not moving, and immediately started the race

[mellow sun]

Yea so the WATER could clear and he could see

[snow swan]

Oscar getting 10s and then Max spinning. He couldn't have asked for anything better ngl

[mellow sun]

It's not that complex

[storm needle]

it was intentional, the commentators said it was probably intentional, and he's done this same strategy before

[mellow sun]

Yea he stopped intentionally, because THAT'S WHAT YOU DO if you don't see the safety car 😭 🙏

[mellow sun]

Lando didn't get lucky, he did his job and didn't fuck up

Piastri fucked up, so did Verstappen

Wasn't luck, he was just focused

[small pagoda]

you dont stand stationary for 2 seconds

[tardy pulsar]

being lucky and doing his job is two different variables

[native shale]

yes aston martin brought them a bottle and then mercedes brought them a few more

[tardy pulsar]

piastri had the pace to beat norris on merit but his own stupidity costed him

[native shale]

he wasn't even stationary

[small pagoda]

piastri also made a couple mistakes

[mellow sun]

If you can't see shit you might, but I'm pretty sure that was part of the penalty

[small pagoda]

norris made none

[storm needle]

he was practically stationary

[mellow sun]

Also he wasn't stationary he was going 60

[native shale]

practically is not stationary

[small pagoda]

relatively stationary

[mellow sun]

Norris would have been on pace to beat Piastri anyways if he didn't have a 5 year pitstop

[storm needle]

stationary as in he was moving relatively slowly, thus not moving relatively, to the other cars

that's relatively stationary

[small pagoda]

ye

[native shale]

have any of you watched piastri's interviews tho

about what he said he did

[mellow sun]

Yea

[small pagoda]

"apparently you can't break under the safety car anymore"

[native shale]

he explains pretty clearly what happened

[mellow sun]

Just say he was going slowly

[raven wagon]

Piastri slowed to create a gap to the safety car to let it go to the pits, what he did wrong was slamming on the brakes and causing Max to take avoiding action

[mellow sun]

https://tenor.com/view/dirty-docks-shawty-triflin-shawty-triflin-she-gif-22455514

[tardy pulsar]

even before the penalty, the gaps stayed relatively the same

[mellow sun]

Norris had passed Verstappen, went to pit, took over 5 seconds to pit, was back behind Verstappen

[native shale]

he was already braking when the safety car lights went out and then when the lights went out oscar had control of the race so he braked more

[mellow sun]

That's what I meant

[native shale]

and isn't it true that max had to take more evasive action in canada then in silverstone

[snow swan]

I mean going from the document from the fia. Braking from 218 to 54 on straight while on a wet track is risky

[mellow sun]

Except in Canada the braking was completely reasonable

That was just on him

[tardy pulsar]

well yeah

[small pagoda]

yoooooo

[mellow sun]

I think Piastri might have won without it, but if Norris ever took pole position in those last laps I don't think Piastri could have followed

[mellow sun]

Unfortunately he was given a cardboard box and double a batteries for a car

[tardy pulsar]

yes but that’s another scenario

[snow swan]

if only he wasn't being a silly Goober

[native shale]

yeah that is a super bad car

[snow swan]

And maybe Max wouldn't have spun right after

[mellow sun]

Well, if I'm gonna be honest, it would have likely ended within about a second of eachother

[storm needle]

Can ferrari please spygate on mclaren

proper revenge

[mellow sun]

At most below 5

[native shale]

piastri def woulda won if there was no penalty, he was controlling the gap between himself and lando

[mellow sun]

He was controlling a gap between him and Verstappen

Lando was second for like 3 seconds before the penalty

[storm needle]

nah

lando was on his ass

before he served the penalty

[snow swan]

And then the team would've let them race as well

[sand swift]

hello

I’m new to F1

anyone have a small guide for me

[storm needle]

watch drive to survive on netflix

[native shale]

but then keep in mind that they dramaticize everythiing

[sand swift]

on that

[snow swan]

Ferrari is the one to support, they are so good

[mellow sun]

Honestly I don't think Piastri beats Lando if there's no penalty, they were close and Lando was making near 0 mistakes

[sand swift]

what about red bull

[small pagoda]

doing that in rainy conditions was real stupid tbh

[mellow sun]

Lando was locked in this race

[mellow sun]

I'm not gonna bs you my boy... No

[small pagoda]

penalty baiting when it could very well lead to a crash

[mellow sun]

Don't

[snow swan]

Guess we'll never know

[tardy pulsar]

piastri didn’t make much mistakes till the sc restart as well

[sand swift]

Noooo max and yuki

[mellow sun]

Max is doing alright

Definitely not winning

[snow swan]

Redbull are falling apart ngl. Give them one or two years without Max, they'll be a midfield team

[mellow sun]

But alright

[sand swift]

sob

[sand swift]

they are a good group from what I heard

what about

McLaren?

[mellow sun]

Yuki's just got a few pieces of tight wrap holding his car together

[mellow sun]

they went up like 16 places

plus either sauber or haas is the worst cars on the grid

[tight heart]

Ferrari - bright shiny red ooo wow charlie leclercus and 8 time champion wawawiwa but forever a disappointment

RB - a.k.a. Max Verstappen

Merc - Team Toto silver arrows look at me im George Russel and somehow my top has come off again + spaghetti antonelli for future

McLaren - currently the best team by far, best pair of drivers, sgoin on mate from down under and landoughnuts from UK

Aston Martin - the names stroll, lawrence stroll (and im going to keep my son in the 2nd seat no matter how disappointing he is)

Williams - looking promising with Albono and smooth operator powered by Vowels electronics

VCARB - wazoooon + kiwi, RB jr team and unironically outperforming RB 2nd car regularly

Alpine - french new renault still doodoo

Sauber - HULK HULK HULK HULK HULK HULK HULK and Gabriel from brazil they will become audi as of 2026

Haas - what the fk is a kilometer ?

[native shale]

19 to 3 is crazy

[tight heart]

there u go hope that helps

[mellow sun]

Well every car's built by their constructor. So they're all different in some way. Better car means faster car means better placement.

[molten saffron]

No shit, tell us something new

[tight heart]

no that one only gave me race highlights around 9 mins long, im not sure which site it was i clicked a link that came up on google and it worked, happy to share it here if it doesnt go against server rules

[proven leaf]

If only this was lando, the Internet would've absolutely blasted his ass

[molten saffron]

If it was a random streaming site with the full race and not an official F1 site then it would be piracy, unless it's just highlights or smth

Not sure if you're talking about one or the other

[tight heart]

i have no idea, but it wasnt an official f1 link i dont pay for f1tv in aus they dont have live races only replays so not worth the sub

[regal needle]

Charles: There's water that came into my Visor. I couldn't see anything! Like, A Huge Splash of Water

[molten saffron]

Idk then, I'd say be cautious about it

[tight heart]

ok don't google f1 full race on google because if you do the full pirated race will come up

[molten saffron]

I wouldn't say that cause if it is piracy you'll be muted for it

I'm just too tired to check

[tight heart]

wut

sorted

fixx

[brisk harness]

Oscar Piastri @ Lap 45 requested a Team Order because he thinks the penalty was unfair.

That's kind of awkward once Lando sees the highlights

[tight heart]

i saw this, felt it was a bit weird from him

[brisk harness]

Yes

[tight heart]

harsh or not race my guy

it happens to all the drivers at some point or another

[brisk harness]

I support him and lando

[tight heart]

i love piastri but was a bit cringe that imo

[brisk harness]

But regardless if it is a penalty or not, never request for unfair swap

Your penalty is not the other driver's fault

[brisk harness]

They are professional so I hope it does not create awkwardness in their team work

[tight heart]

yep fully agree

[brisk harness]

The only time ,iirc that Lando request team order is when Oscar Tires are older than his and Lando confident he can catch up Max .

Team order was right ,he had better chance or it must have been requested much earlier

But Requesting team order because you feel your penalty is unfair ,that is unfair for other driver

[tight heart]

and he was fighting for dwc at the time yeah

[blissful orbit]

I understand tbh

[brisk harness]

Yes both of them

[blissful orbit]

imagine domnating the whole race

[tight heart]

i didnt like it felt a bit cheap from oscar

and i love oscar

[blissful orbit]

only to get fucked by the safetycar

[tight heart]

think hes amazing

[brisk harness]

I understand

But

He is not dominating

His gap to Lando is not even 10Seconds

Or more

[blissful orbit]

14 seconds before SC

he was dominating

[brisk harness]

True

[blissful orbit]

thats how McLaren were able to double stack

[brisk harness]

But tire difference

Yes

Both were faster

[junior granite]

that's how shit goes sometimes

[brisk harness]

Than everyone else

By big margin

[junior granite]

norris got fucked by his pit stop

[blissful orbit]

yh

[brisk harness]

True , he would have widen the gap

[blissful orbit]

he was fuming after the race as well, from his perspective he said the lights went out just as he braked

[junior granite]

a lot of people got hosed this race a tad

[brisk harness]

But I think the penalty has basis ,I don't fully know the rules though

[tight heart]

yeah

[brisk harness]

But it was unsafety of him that Verstapen almost clash to him

[blissful orbit]

yh it does 60psi input, double than that of Russell in Canada

[brisk harness]

What should the race leader be doing in that scenario though ?

[tight heart]

yeah, app he slowed down 151kmh during that break

so quite a massive drop haha

[junior granite]

wait until the corner idk

[brisk harness]

Shouldn't be right ?

Should be more faster

[tight heart]

wdym sorry more faster?

[brisk harness]

Since the safety car just dropped

What should be the correct procedure for race leader

At that moment ?

[blissful orbit]

I think, what he thought was that the SC lights werent off so he was gonna slow up the field before it went off too cool down Verstappen's tires but then it went off right when he braked.

thats also why he was going fast before the braking to make sure his tyres were heated up

[tight heart]

ohhhhh i didnt know this

wait so the safety car dropped in speed first?

like quick jump on the breaks?

[last heart]

oh ok....

[blissful orbit]

no

[brisk harness]

That is what I remember

I'm not really sure

[blissful orbit]

SC carrried on, there are lights on the SC that indicate whether its coming in or not

[molten saffron]

The safety car always maintains a constant speed

[tight heart]

and were those lights on?

[blissful orbit]

^^

[blissful orbit]

when he was about to brake? yes
right when he went for it? no

[molten saffron]

The safety car indicated it's procedure to come in basically when Piastri braked

[tight heart]

damn so it indicated it was coming in, then changed course to not go in?

[blissful orbit]

he thought it was on so he braked but as soon as he did it went off

[blissful orbit]

yes

[brisk harness]

Yes

I think this is what I saw

[tight heart]

damn so just unlucky timing it seems

[brisk harness]

Cost 10

[molten saffron]

Let me go rewatch the incident briefly

Anyone remember the lap it was on

[tight heart]

not exact lap but i think around 30

give or take a few

[last heart]

ok

but piastri's penalty wasn't fair yk

[brisk harness]

18

18-21

[brisk harness]

It wasnt

But he'll have a penalty otherwise

For me ,not 10

The whole point is actually steward made a right call that what he did is unsafety ,regardless if intentional or not

That is racing

[last heart]

maybe like 5

[brisk harness]

And the whole point is , He requested a team order @ Lap 45

[tight heart]

yeah u cant do that

[brisk harness]

Which for me unfair for lando

[tight heart]

nothing to do with lando

[brisk harness]

Yes

[tight heart]

piastri got screwed though, he was about 13s ahead in lap 20

all those safety cars

then the penalty

imo he was the faster driver just got set back by all these interruptions

[brisk harness]

Just race my man

[tight heart]

but thats the game

[brisk harness]

If he was able to make that gap with other cars before SC

If that is his race

[tight heart]

literally thats it, just head down and race

deal with the issues

[brisk harness]

He should be able to catch Lando

[tight heart]

its how champions are made

yep

[last heart]

how old ru

[brisk harness]

30

[regal needle]

Don't tell me this is Real https://x.com/scheconews/status/1942090416813167002?t=cfggaTZpIPEMvJXqu6poPw&s=19

“Bravo Checo Hulk 👏 finally getting what you deserve” —Checo felicitando a Nico Hulkenberg por su primer podio!

X · Jul 7, 2025, 5:16 AM

Checo congrats Nico as well

[brisk harness]

Well deserved

Audi future is good

I hope it will be consistent

Bortaleto needs more time

I think Hulkenburg and Bortaleto is really good drivers ,needs a better car

[regal needle]

Gabriel would be ready for his next incoming Season when he drives that Audi engine

[brisk harness]

Why?

[last heart]

@brisk harness ur 30?

[brisk harness]

He was P8 last time

[brisk harness]

Yes

[molten saffron]

It's weird

[last heart]

cool

[molten saffron]

It almost looks to me like Piastri was braking slightly before the lights went out, but the safety car started accelerating harder once the lights went out

[brisk harness]

He needs Familiarity of the tracks and better car.

He want champion to champion from F3 and F2.

He graduated year after year being champion so he has the skills

[molten saffron]

So it makes it look even worse on Piastris end

But Max definitely should've been able to see Piastri

Maybe not clearly

But enough to know he was slowing down

[tight heart]

agreed

[prime marten]

Lmao

[tight heart]

10s seems harsh but if thats the rule thats the rule

[brisk harness]

This is true

[queen orbit]

it is kinda harsh but it felt like a deliberate move so 10 is justified

[prime marten]

18th fastest in the corners is crazy

[brisk harness]

10 is definitely harsh

[queen orbit]

plus 5 wouldnt win him the race

[brisk harness]

But race my man

[tight heart]

all in all, at the end of the day, piastri this lando that, who cares? NICO HULKENBERG IS BACK BABY

[brisk harness]

If you create that gap, stop being frustrated and prove you can out speed everyone

[lilac rose]

True

[queen orbit]

exactly no idea how he got so angry

[tight heart]

15 years he waited

my guy never gave up

what a legend

[prime marten]

If Audi turns out to have a great car, he'd be stepping on those steps a lot next year

[tight heart]

i hope so

audi make pretty good engines no?

race wise

[brisk harness]

I'm not gassing Lando , But remember? Lando was 10th in Qualifying and end up 2 to help Piastri Secure 1.

Lando said before the race he is there to help Piastri Secure 1 and delivered

Yes

To be fair I'm very happy for hulkenburg

He is really a good driver

Bro

19 to 3

Just wow

[tight heart]

its just nice to see when persistence pays off

yeah 19 to 3 is really impressive

very happy for him

[molten saffron]

Deliberate? Possibly...
Deliberate to cause a crash or SC infringement or get Max a penalty? I don't think so

[prime marten]

They usually do, they have extensive motorsport history but they have never been in Formula One. So no one really knows until we'd get to see them, I guess

[tight heart]

yeah hopefully their experience in rally racing and wherever else theyve competed translates over to f1

i like audi as a car brand

will be cool to see them in f1

all we need now is porsche pls

[brisk harness]

At the end of the day, The engineers are still Sauber

[tight heart]

the only car brand that will make me stop supporting AM

hahaha

[brisk harness]

Will RedBull sell 2nd team?

[tight heart]

i would love it

im really not a fan of rb having 2 teams

jr team or not its meh

have ur jr team in f2

[brisk harness]

No point of 2nd team if they are not competing.

They just make it as 4 Vs 16
But other 2 are bad

[tight heart]

yeah

[prime marten]

Other 3*

Only one of them is performing

[tight heart]

id love it if they sell 2nd team and porsche take over

ferrari, merc, mclaren, audi, porsche, williams, some big car names all on the grid would be epic

aston martin is a big car name too i guess but not really in f1

[fast fable]

Well, not from the looks of it.

[tight heart]

and alpine are renault but are doodoo

but yeah seems very unlikely

[fast fable]

Porsche bottled their chances.

[tight heart]

porsche were going to join if i rem correctly but the deal or whatever fell through

yeah

shame

[fast fable]

https://www.topgearmag.in/news/motorsport/porsche-officially-closes-the-door-on-formula-1-return

[prime marten]

Now I'm wondering if there would be any form of exchanges of information between Audi and Porsche since they are within the same group and Porsche failed to enter F1

[tight heart]

interesting

could be

only God knows what goes on behind closed doors within these multi billion dollar industries

[prime marten]

Bcs I've heard that Porsche's F1 engine prototype was wonderful

[tight heart]

oh i can imagine

porsche engines are mint

[prime marten]

They are. Even their road cars. As of right now, they are the only reliable boxer engines

Max and Russell put their fight aside to celebrate Kimi's first podium, Mercedes and Aston Martin sent champagne to sauber to celebrate, but those two losers on the podium couldn't do that for a driver's first podium after 239 races???

I had a little respect for piastri but not anymore.

Both of them are dirty and selfish.

[proven leaf]

Lando brought nicos helmet to the cooldown room since nico forgot to

And congratulated him as well

Oscar was sulking about the penalty but still congratulated nico and nico started talking to osc about the penalty

[junior granite]

white knighting for a grown ass man is wild

[thick fox]

max passing oscar and then spinning was hilarious

[queen orbit]

its definitely on purpose because leading drivers do this all the time (just not at such an extreme level)

i still feel a penalty was deserved though 10s is somewhat on the harsher side

[opal lynx]

Where can I watch the recap

[opal lynx]

😔✋what happened

[fleet coyote]

He braked really hard that seemed like he has just stopped, which was really dangerous for drivers behind especially for Max

[mild girder]

Anyone got access to pastries post race interview?

[radiant marlin]

yex

yez

[mild girder]

where

[radiant marlin]

f1 tv

[mild girder]

:((

I wanna see it cuz apperntly he was salty

[radiant marlin]

he was salty

im glad for nico and lando though😍

[opal lynx]

😔any reasons from Oscar on that situation

[opal lynx]

Vro w

[opal lynx]

Ollie

[twilit totem]

The safety car left and he wanted to slow down the queue I guess, it was very rainy and hard to see so Max almost hit him

[opal lynx]

[edgy summit]

He did break more then usual but don’t think it was for 10 secs

[opal lynx]

All cars are speeding

Man 😔I wanna watch that race

anyone confirm this picture?

[woven crypt]

yay nico

[real heath]

idk but crazy if true

[molten saffron]

Considering it's under a podium it's probably just a prediction

[teal matrix]

german disaster class

again

[pastel steppe]

oh i see but if it's not prediction where do they show it other than social platforms?

[boreal comet]

The twingo finally did it

[molten saffron]

Like the official announcement?

Or what

[pastel steppe]

do they reveal it first in the paddock or do they just reveal it everything all at once?

[pastel steppe]

well kinda i guess

[molten saffron]

Well I'm sure Cadillac and F1 will make an official announcement

[twilit totem]

Probably their official accounts in all platforms such as Instagram, Twitter and TikTok will make announcements of the drivers when they get confirmed

[pastel steppe]

i see

[blissful orbit]

Bottas will return

pin it

[grave finch]

Thanks for your support yesterday I really appreciate

[golden sluice]

a match made in heaven

[twin glade]

The only thing I can think of is that a lot of weather radars were reading that the rain would be very short and that it wouldn't be a true wet race... But even then...

[pseudo quail]

It rained a few laps later. They might’ve thought they’d gain enough pace to take advantage of it, like stroll did in a later stint. But then they had safety cars so the track didn’t dry much and they also wasted laps before the rain came back and made the stint pointless

[twin glade]

Oh yeah, probably!

[craggy marsh]

the rain was several laps away and it was sunny at most tracks that means slicks will the right tyres within a lap or two but for some reason at silverstone it took 5-6

but by then rain was coming soon and the inter runners were wayyy gone

[silent citrus]

GUYS I TOLD YALL NICO PODIUM

holy shit ferrari bottle another race

the fact that nico did it in a sauber is insane

But lap 28 was 11 pm, need to sleep to wake up at 4:15 am. Dont ask why I need to wake up at that time, the school schedule here sucks

oh my god snape is in the chat

bro the gp was so crazy tho

[short lotus]

Why wasn’t Russell penalized for doing the same thing is my question 😭

[raven jasper]

the race started at 10pm for me

[boreal condor]

it started at 6pm here

i think

yeah it started at 6

[rustic crest]

Oscar applied twice as much brake pressure

[raven jasper]

i was hoping for a williams win
but nico getting a podium is nice too

[ornate pendant]

Was hoping for lewis podium but nico was just so perfect to me

Yes, happy and sad at the same time but mostly happy cus bro dragged that tractor into the podium

[magic hill]

As the other guy said, twice the brake pressure, but imo because of the conditions too. Hadjar went into the back of Antonelli earlier in the race due to poor visibility, and the same thing could easily have happened with Piastri and Max (or others) even if the spray was somewhat reduced under the SC. Just my unprofessional opinion, I could be way off the mark.

[kind oracle]

[somber pebble]

The hype still goes

[west yoke]

piastri fr tried to ask mcl to switch positions 🤣🤣

[west yoke]

russell did it in the dry, and did not brake nearly as heavily as piastri did. max also didnt have to avoid george, they were already next to each other. piastri brake checked the whole field and you can also see further in the back of the pack other cars had to take avoiding action as well

[twin glade]

I actually didn't see the George incident, but in this case, I think stewards potentially gave Piastri the benefit of the doubt during the first incident, and that the second incident had the added issue of piastri accelerating to race pace, braking significantly, and then accelerating to race pace again once he was the pace setter – which, I've been told, isn't allowed as it falls under erratic driving. You can see, from Pierre's onboards, that it causes a ripple effect to AT LEAST Nico.

[twin glade]

I recognise that he admitted that it wasn't fair and that he didn't think it would result in anything, but it's still a question of integrity to me – he's been a loud protestor of team orders for a while now, most recently at the end of June, but then explicitly asks for it? I understand that he was upset and irate, but nevertheless

[radiant pasture]

Norris has asked for position switches in far less deserving circumstances

[twin glade]

When did he do that?

[radiant pasture]

Anyway, the key thing with the penalty is that actually there was a pretty huge mitigating circumstance. The lights ont he safety car went off late, and unexpectedly. Oscar had already accellerated and had to jump on the brakes quickly because that is what he is supposed to do.

[radiant pasture]

Monza 21, Qatar 23, Hungary 24, Brazil 24, plus the demands for Oscar to move aside faster in Suzuka 23, Brazil 24, take your pick
Plus the tantrum in Baku 22

[austere plaza]

anyone up fir a chat? i need moral support for doing these school assignments

[compact blade]

what the helly happend in the british gp i didnt watch how is stake in podium

[snow swan]

[compact blade]

well deserved hes a decent driver if he was given a better car

[twin glade]

To be fair, in 2024 McLaren had promised Lando to support his title fight against max after Hungary, i don't know what moment exactly you're referring to in Hungary? Those team orders were for Lando to give up the position, no? Or are you referring to a different incident?

Suzuka 2023 was because Lando had significant pace over piastri (was it a 15s gap that was built?), Qatar i don't know what you're referring to, because I only remember Lando being told to hold position behind Piastri, even though he believed he had a stronger pace (/gaining on Piastri) to hold mercs off

Either way, i don't particularly agree with asking for team orders, point blank, that was my original point – Unless there's a great pace difference

Asking for a swap because you earned yourself a penalty is not something I, personally, agree with

[green ether]

NICOOO

[west yoke]

team gave it to him in brazil, was faster in monza, was faster in qatar, he did not ask for team orders in hungary, it was the other way around. suzuka 23 he was also way quicker and baku 22 he was driving a shitbox anyways

oscar fucked himself over and then asked the team to undo his own mistake at the expense of lando

during his home gp nonetheless

never had a more clear “fuck off” situation ever

[radiant pasture]

Norris wasn't faster in Monza and did not deserve that win. He wasn't better in Qatar and didn't deserve to be ahead of Oscar

[west yoke]

he did not win in monza?

and in qatar, it was oscars rookie season? and lando was faster?

[radiant pasture]

No, Daniel did, he won the race he richly deserved to, and Norris asked them to swap

[west yoke]

yes because norris was quicker

he stayed 1s behind ricciardo like the last 15 laps

could have easily attacked , mclaren lit asked him to hold position

[torn forum]

I'm finally back from 24hr Penalty

[radiant pasture]

In Qatar it was Oscar's rookie season but Norris didn't even catch him until the last laps and Oscar had driven flawlessly

[west yoke]

wow oscar had a good race at the end of the day norris caught him right?

[radiant pasture]

The ONLY reason Norris was anywhere NEAR Ricciardo was because of the safety car. It not like he caught Daniel on merit

[west yoke]

norris has never asked for team orders when he is 6 seconds down because of his own mistakes that caused him to get a penalty

norris hate goes crazy for no reason

[west yoke]

did he stay with him? could he have attacked? both yes

[short lotus]

Are we about to witness a pissed piastri? (Mad max 2.0)

[west yoke]

pissed piastri will be worse than calm piastri

tryst

trust

[radiant pasture]

Because it was Qatar and the tyres were fucked. There was no chance for Norris to catch Verstappen and Oscar had yielded the race before, so why swap them?

[fluid vigil]

aiyo

[small crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/sauber-stake-kick-kick-sauber-nico-hulkenberg-gif-7595806944226594147

[radiant pasture]

Because Daniel was conserving. He literally set the fastest lap on the last lap
And asking the team to steal a well-deserved win from the other driver to gift you your maiden victory is a cheap and cowardly way to race

Besides, if Verstappen couldn't pass Daniel, no way Norris could have

[west yoke]

cause lando was the clear number 1 driver

[west yoke]

i wonder how you feel about osvar asking for a swap yesterday then

lando has only ever asked forr swaps when he can see the gearbox of his teammate

not 6 seconds down after a penalty and after going lawn mowing

[radiant pasture]

As I said, Norris had asked for swaps from far less deserving positions

[radiant pasture]

Ah yes you mean the moment the stewards gift-wrapped Norris the race

[west yoke]

such as?

[west yoke]

no one asked oscar to brake check the whole grid

🤣🤣

the cope is insane

if lando had done what oscar did, people would be calling him a bottler and a child for asking for a swap afterwards

but since oscar did it lets try to justify it

[west yoke]

i genuinely would love to know because ive been watching since 2020 and have never once seen lando ask for team orders unless he is right behind his teammate or is on a different strategy

been a lando fan since race one too so i pay attention

[radiant pasture]

Again, the ONLY reason he was anywhere near Daniel in Monza was the safety car. He hadn't earned it. He didn't deserve it. The ONLY reason he was ahead of Oscar in Hungary was because the team gifted him two powerful undercuts. Not earned. Not des r ved. Yet he chucked a 20 lap tantrum about it

[torn forum]

How long have i not seen these duo together now 💔

[radiant pasture]

If Norris had done it it would have been 5sec. You know, like the penalty he got in Canada for causing a collision that he was 100% at fault for with zero mitigating circumstances

[west yoke]

okay? the team could have given osvar the good strategy instead of dangling a second career win in front of lando’s head only to ask him to swap back, which he eventually did.

Daniel Riccado from Hit team Visa Cash App Racing Bulls who beat Max Verstappen in Equal Machinery

[snow swan]

Lando just liked my story post

[twin glade]

???? Max spun out, regardless of why, and Piastri was penalised for erratic driving... That's... How it works. Either way, Lando was gaining on Piastri after piastri was told not to let Lando into his DRS

Regarding Hungary, Piastri had a good start, but Lando had a stronger pace throughout the race – Piastri made several costly mistakes, and Lando likely would've caught up to him (though, "if if if"). It was unfair on BOTH drivers, but that wasn't on either of them, it was on McLaren and on McLaren ONLY. After the positions had first been swapped, Piastri wasn't able to catch up at all, even though we know he wasn't maintaining any delta either (he was told to give his best pace) but I don't think it's fair to put that on either of the drivers, and I'm unsure why you're doing that

[gray lintel]

He'll never be pissed that's the problem with him he doesn't have that champion mentality like Norris

[twin glade]

"mentality" is a piss poor word that has lost literally all meaning within this space 😕 a driver will do something and it'll be considered poor mentality, another driver will do the exact same thing and it'll be seen as killer mentality

[gray lintel]

One thing i hate with F1 fans is that they always critisize the drivers no matter their actions, now i am a huge Piastri fan since his F3 days and something that always pissed me off is his lack of ego

You just cannot beat a flawless Norris by just smiling all the time and be happy with a P2

[raven wagon]

I dont think Oscar was happy being p2 in silverstone

[gray lintel]

I mean in general not just Silverstone

No. Max spun on his own. Piastri got penalized fairly. Lando was catching him regardless team orders or not. In Hungary, Lando had the better pace, Oscar made mistakes, end of story. McLaren fumbled the strategy, but neither driver deserves blame. Don’t twist it like one was robbed. That’s just not what happened.

[twin glade]

Him speaking with a calm voice or not having the most expressive face when upset is not him not having an ego, he's shown countless times that he has an ego, has admitted it himself (as ALL drivers have and should do, to be clear). He's never happy with "just a podium", and that's also okay but it's odd that this would piss you off, imo.

Different people will criticise different aspects based on their own opinions and perspectives, which makes it seem as though fans are never happy.

[gray lintel]

His best time of the years was when Norris was down as hell now that Norris fell better he's eating Oscar that says everything

[snow swan]

Exactly, having an ego doesn’t mean you have to be loud or dramatic about it. Lando’s got one like every top driver does — and he’s admitted that. Not being thrilled with P3 doesn’t make him arrogant, it just shows ambition. Some fans read that as entitlement, others see it as hunger. People project their own standards, and yeah, that’s why it always seems like no one’s ever satisfied.

[twin glade]

I never??? Said that lmao?? I literally said all of the things you just said

[snow swan]

you’re just repeating my point back like it’s brand new

The lando fanart pfp is yuhhh🥀😬

💔

Change it pls

[brave ridge]

Here's how this scenario looks now after Silverstone (12/24):

1. Antonelli 168pts (5W, 6pod, 5P, 5FL)
2. Hadjar 166pts (3W, 6pod, 3P, 2FL)
3. Ocon 152pts (1W, 5pod, 1FL)
4. Gasly 142pts (2W, 5pod, 1P, 2FL)
5. Tsunoda 130pts (3pod, 1P)
6. Bearman 129pts (4pod)
7. Lawson 105pts (1W, 4pod, 1P, 1FL)
8. Stroll 105pts (2pod, 1FL)
9. Bortoleto 61pts (1pod)
10. Colapinto 40pts
11. Doohan 26pts

[south heron]

what's wrong with it

I think it looks great

[snow swan]

They look like Cris jr not lando

But nvm nice work

❤️

[twin glade]

Thank you 🫶 I was quite happy with it considering I hadn't touched a graphic tablet in a full year, lmao

[south heron]

awwwww

wait you made that?

[twin glade]

Yeah! Full piece has all of his wins in listed in place of his sponsors down his arm, pfft

[west yoke]

champion mentality is bullshit uou can win the championship without being a dirty cunt on track

lando will prove that

forcing people off is not real racing

[south heron]

noice

[west yoke]

even if the rules allow it

[twin glade]

It's also the fact that there's no one way to win the WDC, previous champions have ALL proven this and many have directly argued against "championship mentality"

Regardless of who wins it, it won't have been down to "championship mentality", it's a ridiculously simplified way to look at it to the point that it actually holds little to no weight in practice

[brave ridge]

who knew taking drivers away makes the title fight even closer

[west yoke]

“championship mentality” is such a joke fr

its all about PACE

mentality dont mean shit if u in P5

you just have to be QUICK

[gray lintel]

I don't think that's odd i guess i don't have the same standards as most of the others Piastri fans, i just wish he was a lil better on and off track because he is capable of achieving greatness but in my opinion if he continue to be passive aggressive he'll slowly turn into Mark Webber 2.0 that's just my opinion
And that's also why i'd like F1 fans to stop being always offended by a drivers being a dickhead that's literally the spirit of this sport

[gray lintel]

Champion mentality is not about just forcing People off track

[snow swan]

i’m not sure tbh i get what you mean and i do think he’s capable of more but i just don’t fully agree with the webber comparison yet maybe he’s still figuring out how to balance that edge without it coming off the wrong way

[snow swan]

fr it’s just code for “i like this driver’s attitude” even if they’re not delivering 💀 championship mentality means nothing without championship results

[gray lintel]

Yeah i still think he'll be okay but he has Norris as teammate and Norris is almost flawless and Oscar is still far from it that's why i'm afraid

[twin glade]

Eh, you're allowed that opinion, but I'll respectfully disagree. I think sportsmanship goes incredibly far and I think it's a shame when you see drivers who are so ridiculously skilled use dirty tactics simply because they work. When you watch certain drivers' w2w (especially, ESPECIALLY, if they have substantial midfield experience) it's absolutely glorious, Hamilton and ocon, George and Lando, in super recent memory. Drivers racing each other without being worried that the other will randomly crash them off will always, IMO, be more enjoyable to watch than drivers pulling off needlessly slimy moves that their skill sets didn't require them to do.

[snow swan]

yeah i get that honestly oscar has the raw talent no doubt but when you’re up against someone like lando who’s operating with surgical consistency and racecraft it’s a brutal benchmark oscar doesn’t just need to be good he needs to evolve fast or he risks getting typecast as the “solid #2” instead of a future champ that’s the real pressure

[blissful orbit]

ummm

[pine sandal]

Look what I put on Azerbaijan GP

[blissful orbit]

are u confusing Oscar and Lando by any chance

[raven wagon]

Lewis did force Rosberg off track many times during their rivalry and purposely backed him up at Abu Dhabi 2016

[twin glade]

No, I meant as in... The specific Hamilton v Ocon and George v Lando w2w moments in one of the recent races

I used those as examples of what i personally enjoy watching in terms of battles

Austria Piastri v Lando is also another such example

[raven wagon]

I meant more your point of drivers using dirty tactics cause it works

[snow swan]

he did and that’s exactly why i respect him more not less people confuse emotional restraint with fairness but lewis operates like a tactician not just a driver every move had intent backing rosberg up in 2016 wasn’t petty it was high stakes strategy under pressure you don’t outlast generations of talent by being nice you do it by being ten steps ahead

[gray lintel]

When is says i want Oscar to do more than that i don't want him to turn into Verstappen i just want him to be flawless like Norris

[snow swan]

i get that you’re not asking for drama you’re asking for precision you don’t want oscar to copy max’s aggression you want him to reach lando’s level of consistency and sharp execution and honestly that’s fair wanting him to refine his craft and show up flawless isn’t criticism it’s high expectation rooted in belief that he can be that sharp

[gray lintel]

That's what i'm so afraid of and i'm already sure next year the number 1 will not be on Oscar's car

What he's doing since the start of the season is just not enough

[snow swan]

yeah and once that number 1 dynamic sets in it’s hard to break oscar has to make his move now or risk getting locked in as second for good

[twin glade]

Right, okay, I'm not sure I'm getting your point, though?😅😅 As I said, it's a shame when drivers who are proven to be skilled resort to dirty tactics or dirty moves, regardless of who it is

[gray lintel]

Just imagine the championship table if Norris weren't this mentally down in April May

[stiff bough]

what number 1 dynamic lol?

i dont know if we've been watching the same season or not, but he is far from becoming a number 2 in that team

[gray lintel]

Seeing the 1 on your teammate car affect you mentaly more than what we think

[raven wagon]

Yeah its a norm amongst many championship drivers, they sometimes use dirty tactics to try and win

[stiff bough]

I think you should be worried about that happening to Lando rather than Piastri.

[raven wagon]

Didnt affect Danny Ric

[snow swan]

true oscar’s doing great but the number 1 spot is more about the team’s plans going forward next year will show where he really stands

[twin glade]

Oh yeah, obviously. Doesn't change my point much

[gray lintel]

I hope so but if i'm realistic that is currently happening to Oscar

[snow swan]

good point honestly lando’s consistency and edge mean he’s got more to lose if things go sideways next season oscar’s still growing but lando’s the one everyone expects to lead so pressure’s definitely on him

[twin glade]

Now that the WCC is all but secured, McLaren is letting them race as freely as they can, the garages are effectively split (though not to the level of mercedes during LHvNR), that's proof that both Lando and Piastri are considered no.1 drivers

The person in the lead during the race will get the preferred strategy, and the other side of the garage will generally be allowed to counter that

[stiff bough]

they've been keeping things equal and are going to keep it equal

[gray lintel]

Not the same situation Daniel wasn't beaten by Vettel before joining RB, see what happened to Webber after 2010

[snow swan]

i’m not sure guess i just don’t expect the same from him as others i want him to do better on and off track but if he stays passive aggressive he could end up like webber that’s just how i see it
also think fans need to accept the sport’s tough attitude more

[neat latch]

The number one spot will be decided when the next champion is crowned

[raven wagon]

If a driver gets affected by a driver number he does not deserve to be champion lmao

[snow swan]

exactly the real number one only becomes clear once someone actually wins the title next season

[neat latch]

I'm talking about this season

Whoever wins this season gets the support of McLaren from then on

That's how mclaren will decide

And the fight is far from over, Oscar is not going to stand there with his arms crossed

[raven wagon]

Oscar has a 8 point lead going into Spa

[neat latch]

And after these 2 races I'm sure he's hungrier than ever

[raven wagon]

Plus a sprint weekend as well

[neat latch]

Man i hate sprints

[south heron]

same

they're so redundant and pointless

[raven wagon]

I love it, more entertainment

[snow reef]

[subtle elbow]

Ws for Nico ?

[radiant marlin]

im ready for spa

[neat latch]

F1 Twitter is mad that apparently Oscar and Lando didn't spray nico with champagne

[radiant marlin]

IM never going on f1 twitter

i dont like it there

[neat latch]

Is there something F1 Twitter isn't mad about that involves McLaren.

[frank beacon]

Honestly they should have sprayed him

First time on the podium

[neat latch]

True, it was a bit questionable

But it's obvious why Oscar didn't do it

And I'm sure Lando was just blinded by his own victory

[pseudo quail]

They could’ve both been a bit better about it

[neat latch]

He did spray him a little bit but there was no champagne left

[pseudo quail]

Just look at the onboard of max congratulating Nico

[neat latch]

But Twitter are acting like they're the second coming of the angry mustache model

Yeah

[pseudo quail]

Yeah it’s exaggerated over twitter

[solemn egret]

Glad that Nico had a podium. After hundreds of starts in his career, he finally achieved one.

Now he needs to win a race.

[blissful orbit]

no

[neat latch]

I understand why Oscar didn't do it, i don't understand why Lando didn't but it's not that big of a deal

[blissful orbit]

1. there's no obligation for them to do
2. Oscar was visibly boiling so most likely he forgot about it.
3. Lando did spray I think at the end, albeit not much, just a touch

Twitter is a crazy place

bitches out there hating on Hulk simply because he doesnt like pink which automatically means he's mysogynistic and therefore should hate on him

[neat latch]

I mean pink in the F1 world means Alpine so i understand why he wouldn't like the color

On a serious note people are allowed to dislike a color

Like come on

[blissful orbit]

he made a tweet long long ago like 2017 when he said he didnt renew with Force India cuz of the pink livery, which was obviously sarcasm. Then the unemployed "people" on twitter dug out stupid shit that dont even mean anything and labelled him sexist. I've seen multiple of those since yesterday.

[pseudo quail]

Comes off a bit arrogant or whatever. He’s new to the podium yet got more excitement from most of the people not on the podium

[neat latch]

Remember kids, Twitter is often mentally ill

[faint lily]

Yo guys

[neat latch]

I'm surprised I'm allowed to say that

[blissful orbit]

remove often
