[blissful orbit]

spa best fr no questions asked

[queen orbit]

wet spa will be goated ngl (besides the safety)

[blissful orbit]

safety is there

they aint gonna die

we should allow racing in the wet more often

unless its Silverstone levels, then a red flag/sc is justified

[queen orbit]

yeah unless the race directors suck

like belgium 1998 which was kinda goated but dangerous

[blissful orbit]

i mean

any sport with wheels is dangerous

so

[prime hornet]

yes

[lapis leaf]

oh

mb

[prime hornet]

the bulldozer nose

[lapis leaf]

the toro rosso one looks like a dick

[stiff bough]

yes it does

few other cars had the dick nose

[lapis leaf]

yep

and

believe it or not

those cars were faster than the ferrari in that season

the 2014 ferrari ladies and gentlemen

💀

[sudden bough]

its a miracle alonso scored 161 points w that thing

[torn meteor]

Guys im trying to understand Honda. So the way I see it, they came as engine supplier, then they pulled the plug from
F1 and Red Bull bought their engine department. But now they will enter again as a separate engine supplier and not retake Red Bull??

[sudden bough]

red bull didnt buy hondas engine department

basically red bull made their own department

[torn meteor]

With Honda’s IP?

[sudden bough]

but until 2025 are using honda engines

and in 2026 they will make their own PU

with help from ford

[torn meteor]

Wait Honda is still supplying RB rn?

[sudden bough]

honda are still gonna be around in 26 w aston

[sudden bough]

just rude for no reason

worst regulation change in history

😭🙏

f2 cars were faster than some of the f1 cars because of how the grid parity was fucked

[sudden bough]

eh they looked ok in 2015 and 2016
but they were slower than f2 cars

2017-2021 regs were way better

[neat fern]

You started being a bitch no offence

Some of the best looking cars in my opinion.

Especially those Mercedes, Toro Rosso, and Red Bull cars.

[storm wraith]

Don’t do this to me 😭

[split bane]

All this tracking of Verstappen and Wolff movements is insane... Bro, even an international wanted person isn't tracked this much

[tepid crest]

helloooo

[split bane]

Hiii

[tepid crest]

How are you?

[split bane]

Fine, thanks

How r u?

[tepid crest]

That's great bro

[tepid crest]

I'm fine, I'm excited for the next race

Long time to wait

[split bane]

What do you think about all this moment about Verstappen and Wolff meeting in Sardinia?

[tepid crest]

Well, I don't know... I think Verstappen won't leave Red Bull yet, I think he'll stay at least until 2026

And Horner's departure was a bombshell, I didn't think he would leave so suddenly.

[split bane]

I think that too... or the leaving of Horner wouldn't have any sense... but idk, it's weird to make the tp of your own team to get fired and then meeting with the tp of another team

[tepid crest]

I think they fired Horner to stop Verstappen from going to Mercedes, and if that was the case, I don't think it helped much.

[neat fern]

Yeah

[tepid crest]

This episode of the Netflix series is going to be crazy

[gloomy wharf]

My favorite era for F1 car cosmetics is either the early 90s, the early 2000s, or 2010-2016.

[split bane]

Yeah... and that isn't really something they will benefits from... just to fire him RB has to pay him like 60 million dollars

[tepid crest]

The Red Bull era will only decline from now on

And now it will be either Mercedes or McLaren domination in the coming years

Most likely McLaren

[split bane]

This could seriously bring to the RB to leave F1 for a while.... but that's really a remote case to happen

[tepid crest]

2026 will change so many things in F1 that even I'm a little out of date on these things

There will be no more drs, Cadillac will enter F1...

[split bane]

Yeah, next year will determine the future of all top teams

[tepid crest]

I'll have to learn everything again lol

[blissful orbit]

Mercedes

[gritty sparrow]

Kick sauber best

Kick sauber best

Kick sauber best

Kick sauber best

Kick sauber best

Kick sauber best

Kick sauber best

Kick sauber best

[tepid crest]

bro

[tepid crest]

Yeah, it will be a year of great changes and upheavals

[split bane]

Maybe, in 2026 they'll have to understand a new engine better than who makes it

[tepid crest]

Yeah, it's between Mercedes and McLaren on who's going to have the best car next year.

If it's Mercedes, I'll be excited to see it.

[split bane]

Then there are all the other teams apart from Ferrari and Red-Bull that are announcing themselves as new championship contenders

[gloomy wharf]

DRS will take steroids.

[split bane]

There will be active aerodynamic also

[gloomy wharf]

Engines will sound good now that the MGU-H is gone.

[gloomy wharf]

That’s what I meant by “DRS on steroids.”

The current engines sound good anyway.

[split bane]

We'll see how's that's gonna sound with a 50% electric engine

[blissful orbit]

33%*

updated

still not defending

im leaving after this year 26 regs are ass

yall can sit around for "better racing"

[split bane]

33% electric engines?

[blissful orbit]

yes

67% ice

[split bane]

oh, i was convinced that was half the engine... it is slightly better

If it is 33% then it is logical that the electric side of the car will increase... now it is 20% with the mgu-h... so not as bad as everyone were saying

[mellow sun]

I hope they'll be at least close enough that there'll be any competition whatsoever lol

[split bane]

I just hope it won't be like 2014

[stone rune]

guys

what is your predictions

[neat fern]

ham, lando, charles trust

[neat fern]

2014 was peak f1

[stone rune]

pastry please

[neat fern]

i can put him 3rd

[split bane]

Bro 2014 was the death of F1, Mercedes were dominating since the pre season tests

[stone rune]

charles is 50% yes and 50% no

so idk if i should put him on a podium or not

[neat fern]

we had the best battles

[neat fern]

maybe not

ham, lando, piastri

[split bane]

Between Nico and Hamilton, yeah... They had the same car

[neat fern]

exactly couldnt be better

[split bane]

But there are 18 other cars in F1...

[neat fern]

¨what about 23

[stone rune]

i still think piastri is good enough to be p2 but he did mistakes in the last gp

so idk

[neat fern]

lando and piastri can fight for p2

[split bane]

That was boring in fact

[stone rune]

like always

[split bane]

Also this year, it's a bit like 2023... it's all wonderful until the race when Mclaren pulls 20 seconds from the 3rd car

[neat fern]

but 2 drivers

[stone rune]

like it’s always predictable who’s gonna be p1

[split bane]

Yeah, i don't want to see an incredible season just from 2 pilots of the same team...

[neat fern]

better than 1 driver

[stone rune]

idk what’s going on with merc

[neat fern]

why therye shit?

[stone rune]

who you guys think will be replaced?

[stone rune]

nah toto and max seen together

[split bane]

Obvious, but that's the worst scenario... it rare that that happens

[neat fern]

that was old pictures

[stone rune]

i didn’t searched i thought it was real

anyways

[neat fern]

it was from zandvoort

[stone rune]

it was everywhere

[split bane]

If the Verstappen thing has to happen i think Russell is gonna be replaced

[stone rune]

that’s why i didn’t

[stone rune]

obviously but if it’s opposite idk what to say

imagine charles and max in merc

[neat fern]

and who in ferrari

2n seat

[split bane]

Nah, it could be an exchange, Russel in RB and Max in Mercedes

[stone rune]

idk russel

[neat fern]

lmao that would be funny

[split bane]

That's a good joke

[stone rune]

and liam?

[neat fern]

liam?

he meant rbr

[split bane]

Liam stays in Racing Bulls...?

[stone rune]

i thought you mentioned racing bulls

[split bane]

Sorry, for RB i mean Red-Bull

[stone rune]

but i don’t think he will join red bull because of what happening with them

might be aston martin

[stone rune]

it’s okay

no worries

[split bane]

Stroll's seat is a wanted seat... many pilots want to be there

[stone rune]

aston martin car is getting upgrades in next year so it will be a great choice

[stone rune]

exactly

[neat fern]

but stroll to goated to leave

[split bane]

Idk if Aston gonna be great next year... now isn't in a very good shape... and Honda isn't famous for winning with the new teams they go with... (apart from Red-Bull)

[stone rune]

the car is being designed by aura himself adrian newey

might be the fastest

[neat fern]

still

[split bane]

A car isn't made by just one person

[stone rune]

yeah but everything this man touches turns out to be a masterpiece

[split bane]

That's true...

[stone rune]

that’s my point

[split bane]

But if it was like that ALL the cars he designed would have won, but that's not the case... So there's hope that Aston could not be competitive next year

[neat fern]

maybe if he nails the regs

[split bane]

With the Red-Bull in 2022 it was his playground as he has a degree in ground effect

[stone rune]

another week no race

[neat fern]

ill commit

[split bane]

That's bad

[stone rune]

must be depressing

[split bane]

I want to see Ferrari starting the season as they announced in Belgium

[stone rune]

doesn’t matter how they started what matters how they will end it

[neat fern]

wdym

[stone rune]

he means a good comeback

for ferrari

i guess

[split bane]

Starting winning from Belgium onwards

[neat fern]

"its a shitbox"

[neat fern]

impossible

[neat fern]

y do they bring upgrades to a sprint

[split bane]

Yeah, true, but some people are saying the fix at the rear suspensions will bring some great performance

[stone rune]

no upgrades

[neat fern]

maybe after hungary

[stone rune]

man they don’t have a good strategy even

[split bane]

That isn't true, they are doing great with strategies...

[neat fern]

WHAT

[stone rune]

what

[neat fern]

u cant be that delulu

[stone rune]

so why charles is 14

[split bane]

Leclerc in UK was fucked up at the start, that is true, but then he fucked up all by himself

[stone rune]

might be the water

[neat fern]

Tbh that was just Charles being shit

[neat fern]

I’m not talking about Silverstone. Australia?

[stone rune]

charles was doing bad ngl last gp

he could do better

[split bane]

in Australia was the only time Ferrari fucked up, but the car also wasn't great on the wet track

[stone rune]

you know before the gp starts he said he doesn’t know if he can do good because it’s raining but i still had hope idk why 😭😭

[neat fern]

Only time?

[neat fern]

Genuine question is Leclerc ass in the rain

[split bane]

In China Leclerc ruined his race touching Hamilton and breaking his front wing and then the floor

[stone rune]

how

only time?

[split bane]

Tell me other race

[stone rune]

ferrari is shit since 2008 😭😭

[split bane]

of this year

[neat fern]

Every fucking race

Is a shit show

Imola?

[stone rune]

man everytime even in monaco with ham

[neat fern]

Yeah

[stone rune]

it is not about charles only

he has a teammate

[neat fern]

“Are you upset with me or something” 😭😭😭

[stone rune]

my baby

[split bane]

that was fucked up in qualifying... the car was slow, but then in the race the car was pretty good, Red-Bull level

[stone rune]

i felt bad

[neat fern]

Did you see Silverstone quali

Almost put ham out in q1

[split bane]

There was fucked up by Hamilton and Leclerc, Ferrari did nothing wrong there

[stone rune]

man

how

[neat fern]

HOW

[stone rune]

how

[split bane]

Aside the car there are no mistakes from Ferrari in UK qualy

[neat fern]

Tell me 1 race Ferrari has done good in the wet

[stone rune]

it’s my first time seeing a ferrari fan like this everyone knows ferrari is shit

[neat fern]

1!!!!

[stone rune]

but the drivers are good

[split bane]

You said Silverstone qualifying, not the race

[neat fern]

Answer the question

[split bane]

Silverstone, with Hamilton

[neat fern]

Was that good?

You mad?

HE GOT PITTED INTO TRAFFIC 4TH TO 8th

[split bane]

Yeah, i mean... 4th with the same car that was 10th in Australia in the same conditions

[neat fern]

If 4th is good then idk

Still ass strategy calls

[split bane]

So we're not watching others... If Ferrari fucked up 50% with Leclerc at the start Mercedes fucked all up with both pilots

[neat fern]

8 championships since 14 how many does Ferrari have since that?

[split bane]

Bro, is impossible to win with that Mclaren, the objective was the podium but Hamilton did some errors with the difficult weather and lost it

[neat fern]

A SAUBER FINISHED AHEAD

[split bane]

I am talking about this year and this year Silverstone gp

[split bane]

Better strategy

[neat fern]

That’s what I’m saying

A sauber can do better strategy

[stone rune]

real

[split bane]

I am not saying Ferrari strategies are perfect, they aren't, but there are not major errors apart for some GPs

[neat fern]

They’re the worst of the top 4

[split bane]

Nah Mercedes strategies this year are worse

[neat fern]

Ferrari wouldn’t be able to win a wcc with the fastest car

[split bane]

Nah they would win by far with the best car

[neat fern]

2022

[neat fern]

How

[split bane]

Shit strategies, pit-stops, everything aside the car (until spa/Singapore)

[split bane]

Bro you telling me that uk Mercedes strategy is better?

Monaco also

[neat fern]

What?

[neat fern]

What did Mercedes do wrong

Russel made the calls

Didn’t pay off

[split bane]

The strategy, pitting both pilots for hard tires on wet...

[split bane]

And in Monaco they didn't pitted until the last 10 laps

[neat fern]

Both? Antonelli was out

[sly mist]

hi

[split bane]

With a 2 pit-stop rule

[split bane]

He pitted before retiring

[neat fern]

Btw Austria gp

Fucked Hamilton

[split bane]

Also that, they sent Antonelli out too late, he couldn't do the lap

[split bane]

in qualy

[split bane]

He finished 4th, that was the best position he could finish in and wasn't even at risk

[lavish ore]

im still so sad about imola

if he had 2 or 3 more laps he'd have caught oscar

[neat fern]

Didn’t listen to Hamilton

Should’ve stayed out

As he wanted

[neat fern]

Wrong the worst position

[split bane]

Not much changes from 3rd or 4th position...

[neat fern]

A podium changes

And extra points

[lavish ore]

the podium is a pretty big difference

[split bane]

Yeah, if he wanted that he could have done a faster lap in qualifying

[neat fern]

What does that matter?

[lavish ore]

ferrari could've built a faster car lmao

point is they fucked him over when it mattered

[neat fern]

Doesn’t change the fact that Ferrari don’t listen to their drivers

[split bane]

He would have been in front of Leclerc and so the one who would have got the podium

For me they didn't fucked up in Austria, and not much would have changed with Hamilton staying out

[neat fern]

Yes it would

A podium

But Ferrari can’t do strategy nor listen to their drivers

[split bane]

With new tires Leclerc would have fought the position back

[neat fern]

Maybe he would maybe not

[split bane]

But we'll never know

[neat fern]

The worst position would still be 4th

So why not try

[split bane]

As they said, they were on a standard strategy, and that worked, if Hamilton would have got the podium then we would be here discussing because Leclerc would have deserved it the most... If a strategy works fine, is not bad at all

[neat fern]

The one who finishes ahead deserves it

If ham think he can do a 1 stop

Then try

[split bane]

Is one person asking a full team both in the track and in the remote garage at Maranello, if they say that they don't want to do so, the pilot doesn't do so

[neat fern]

Spa 2024 is a good example

[split bane]

What happened there?

[neat fern]

Lewis was on a standard Strategy and was in the net lead but Russel overruled the team and decided to do a 1 stop and would’ve won the race if not for the dsq

[split bane]

Yeah, the team analyzed the request from Russel and then they did as he said after confirming that that was a good strategy move, but it was risky, this could be the reason why they didn't applied it from the start

[neat fern]

The difference between Ferrari and merc

[split bane]

Yeah Ferrari hasn't a good flexibility in strategies, it is like they want it to be and it is difficult that it changes during the race if nothing unexpected happens

I think that he wanted to leave Sky Sport Italy... and he did good, now he is a F1 "official" commentator

[blissful orbit]

why not

sky anything sucks

[hushed olive]

Then you change you car because yuki has been saying the car is fucked 🔥

[snow swan]

i feel like they’ve been so shit but somehow theyre p2???

[shrewd vessel]

that's what i'm saying! despite horseshit strategies they're consistent points-wise

[rustic orchid]

max and George have been consistently outperforming us

it’s the teammates

u can’t really blame either of them tho

[neat fern]

Who is us

[neat latch]

Ferrari

[rustic orchid]

Leclerc and Hamilton

mb

this is what passion does to you

[neat fern]

I mean merc been shit lately but yeah

[rustic orchid]

Nah it’s the temps

[neat fern]

Silverstone?

[rustic orchid]

They will prolly dominate in Vegas and Brazil

[neat fern]

Maybe more driver then

[rustic orchid]

The merc is very temperature sensitive

It performs well on cooler temperatures

[neat fern]

Yeah ik

[neat latch]

If your car performance depends on temps then yeah

They are shit

[neat fern]

Merc hasn’t been good all reg

[neat latch]

Idk how they managed to do that 4 times, you'd think at this point they learned

I trust them making the best engine, I don't trust them making the best car

Specially when mclaren are already testing 2026 parts on the 2025 car

[neat fern]

They have to fix the overheating problem but it’s a whole new reg so

Who knows

[neat latch]

It is but you still apply what you learned from the regs we have now

That's why it's important to have a good understanding of your car now if you want to have a good future

[neat fern]

Yeah that’s true it seems they don’t know how to fix the problem

Like in Vegas when they got asked why they were so quick and toto had no answer

[blissful orbit]

they're not shit

I think ppl need to slow down

its just their fans extreme expectations not being met

[neat latch]

They're not but they ain't good either

[blissful orbit]

• other teams having 1 driver

[blissful orbit]

I'm not saying they're good, it's just they're not shit nor bad

[neat latch]

Mid as fuck regulary, good at best

[neat fern]

And one powerunit wanting to kill themself

[blissful orbit]

Merc & RB have 1 driver

we also needa have a discussion on this bru George & Max on that 21' Norris & Gasly shit rn

[snow swan]

especially kimi and he’s been putting in bery good work for a rookie

[neat latch]

Also due to overheating because for some reason the factory team can't do anything better than mclaren

[snow swan]

they are compared to their driver lineup

[blissful orbit]

then dont sign them

simple

even Schumi had shit machinery

[neat fern]

The overheating problem is their tires not powerunit

[blissful orbit]

drivers are doing their best

[snow swan]

hamilton sounds like he’s loving the ferrari 😭

[neat latch]

Well they clearly have a problem with the power unit mclaren doesn't have so like

[blissful orbit]

100$ M signing bonus

[blissful orbit]

its both

& the PU is not overheating alone

they got multitude of problems

& so do other Mercedes cars

except McLaren

thats for a reason

we share the least parts

[neat latch]

Because rob marshall knows how to make a car

[blissful orbit]

we have better engineers

we make most of our own parts

[neat fern]

Is we McLaren?

[snow swan]

it’s quite sad imo that merc can’t seem to beat a customer car lately 😭

[blissful orbit]

our gearbox casing, the gearbox itself, the suspension, cooling packs, everything correlate

[neat latch]

And we somehow have a better understanding of the current engine, it's hilarious bro

[blissful orbit]

yes

[neat fern]

Alright

[neat latch]

How does this happen

[neat fern]

Because Mercedes just lost all the knowledge in the new regs

[blissful orbit]

ZB, Stella (also Seidl), Sanchez, Marshall & many more

also the updated fuel hurt all Merc PUs

[neat latch]

They forgor

[neat fern]

Real

[snow swan]

begging they regain their consistency in 26

[neat latch]

Mercedes after 2021, WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT FOR THAT EIGHTH CHAMPIONSHIP,

Mercedes in 2022, so how do we make a car again? Repeat for 3 more seasons

[blissful orbit]

remember when toto said in 21 that other teams poaching their employees dont matter much

I do, very clearly

seems it does matter

[neat latch]

It does matter, it clearly does

[blissful orbit]

Allison not starting with the 22 car or even 23 car killed them

saw this coming from the very start

[snow swan]

slightly… look at redbull. that car is a midfield car in the average f1 drivers hands and is only somewhat competitive with max

[neat latch]

Midfield? That shit is backmarker level

[blissful orbit]

RedBull are in a hiring spree since last year lol

[snow swan]

i was being conservative

[blissful orbit]

u can see them posting jobs

lol

[neat fern]

More like they had a fundamental error with their windtunnel

[snow swan]

they’ll probably hire a kwik fit mechanic at this rate

[snow swan]

ZERO SIDEPOD IS A GOOD IDEA 🤓

[blissful orbit]

0 pods was cool ngl it had potential too if u ask me

jus not well executed

[neat latch]

Advantage locked in for years?

[blissful orbit]

Max once said he wants to keep winning for 15 years with redbull, ofc it wasnt srs but damn

it aint even 3 years bro

[snow swan]

i was fully expecting the whole grid to have it by 25 with adrian ssying iy was possible

[neat fern]

Redbulls downfall worse than mercs

[snow swan]

my wheelie bin has more downforce

[blissful orbit]

utter domination to struggling to finish on the podium within 8 months lol

[snow swan]

that car should be nicknamed the career ender

[neat latch]

The fact that no one bothered to copy them

I mean they did copy some parts of that concept only recently but the zeropods were just stupid

[snow swan]

the thing that stumped me was that adrian said it was feasible like hes literally the aero god

[blissful orbit]

Verstappen 1-2 at 24hr spa iRacing

lol

[neat latch]

Watch Mercedes pull a maxpods next year

Big ass side pods

[blissful orbit]

i love big ass

[snow swan]

valid

[rustic orchid]

They said 0 side pod will give them 1 second advantage over the field

💀

I rmbr that shit clearly

Then seb said it looked like a shitbox

[neat fern]

and russel said how cool it looked

💀

[molten saffron]

Their simulations and wind tunnel testing proved it would've, but they couldn't replicate those on the car

[snow swan]

then alex roasted the shit outta it

[hushed olive]

Colapinto is a disgrace

Doohan got sacked for less

[neat latch]

More like Alpine is a disgrace

[gloomy wharf]

They should’ve stuck with standard Renault branding.

[ornate mason]

Cuh

How do I add funny number after my name

[inland silo]

F1 on top

[sudden bough]

eh

ferrari have just been mid

sometimes good ish

redbull is one driver and merc are the 2nd most inconsistent team on the grid

1st is ofc

haas go from fucking p19-p20

to making q3 and p8-p9 range

[fluid current]

The ideal thermos for drinking mate and watching F1

[craggy marsh]

because merc tested on a smooth surface in their wind tunnel 💀

they forgot tracks arent perfectly smooth😭

[tawny oxide]

I thought the points brought up by Sonny Hayes in the f1 movie were on the money. Oh you're wind tunnel testing on a perfectly flat surface with no corners, other traffic or any other atmospheric changes......

[molten saffron]

They did so because it cost them less money with the tighter cap they had since they won the championship in 2021. They were allotted more time with a smooth rolling surface than with a rough rolling surface.

[south heron]

right??

I wish they'd be more in the latter range 😭

[south heron]

interesting

[molten saffron]

There was an entire video explaining it but I can't seem to find it now

[craggy marsh]

sorta but now a days wind tunnels and all the cornering can be simulated but mercedes forgot to account for the roughness of the tracks which leads to more turbulent air around the floor of the car making the zero pod concept extremely difficult to pull off

[torn forum]

but back then Haas used to pulll this insane move, coming from there to here now is like watching your son won their first baseball game

[thin shuttle]

Do you guys remember when hulk was in BMW

[leaden cape]

😍

[clear drift]

The reason Ferrari is P2 despite being kinda shit is Kimi Antonelli. Hard truth.

Ferrari are ahead in the constructors but in the drivers George is quite ahead of both Ferrari drivers, while Kimi is quite a ways behind them dragging Mercedes down in points compared to them. I'm not saying Kimi is a bad driver and he is a rookie and all but it's the truth right now, the golden rookie "next senna" is well behind George and if you had someone else e.g. Bottas in the car they would be closer and Mercedes would be P2 right now

Since Miami Kimi's had a single points finish /a podium, 4 DNFs, and a last place. Scoring a total of 15 points in 6 races for the team, while Ferrari was scoring p3-4 a lot in that time. For some reason people still say Merc should replace George if they had to decide today to make room for Max...

[snow swan]

i mean yku gotta admit tho at the end of the day kimi is a rookie and unlike others is competitive somewhat atleast

[open charm]

Even for his rookie season his stats are somewhat impressive when you consider there were a few instances where he got fucked over, his car gave out twice (Imola and Spain), he got rear ended at Silverstone, and got fucked over during the Miami sprint in the pitstop with Redbull

[split bane]

It's like saying that Verstappen had to be replaced back in 2016 for his errors... This is nonsense

[raven wagon]

You do know only one of those dnfs was his fault right

Cause the rest he had reliability issues

[rustic orchid]

Unlucky, yes and also can’t expect him to perform at George level, and this lowkey shows that George is really good.

Anyway, Ferrari should come back in the second half of the season with the suspension upgrades

[crisp acorn]

😜

[digital fog]

Oh Damn

[torn forum]

no wonder why he got the title of "Minister of Defense" 🔥

[mint idol]

haasbands regen

[torn forum]

Haas but sugar free Red Bull

[blissful orbit]

Mercedes shouldn't, but they will

& if I or you or any of us was in Toto's position, we would do the same

let's not kid ourselves on that one

[rustic orchid]

No one will miss out on signing (probably) the best driver in the history of the sport

In his prime years

[crisp acorn]

only they can make a DNF look tough

[torn forum]

those duo are only driver that somehow can make double DNF looks like they just got double podium

[neat fern]

Kimi is a rookie

Let me say it one more time

Kimi is a rookie

What did max verstappen do in his first season?

[blissful orbit]

its not Kimi

its Kimi vs Merc PU

that cost them so much points

its their own fault

[tardy kernel]

eh. Kimi has much more room for growth than george

[tardy kernel]

in 2015 toto let max verstappen go. Look what happened. Makes sense that he didnt allow it to happen again

besides rookies are a cheaper gamble

even if you sell em, the odds of making a loss are kinda low

especially a guy like antonelli

[median verge]

Predictions

🇦🇺 Piastri
🇬🇧 Norris
🇬🇧 Russel
🇲🇨 Leclerc
🇳🇱 Verstappen

[rustic orchid]

Max was 17 in 2015

[stiff bough]

genuine question?

[rustic orchid]

Beat Sainz

In equal machinery

Sainz was 21

[stiff bough]

they were both rookies but yes

[rustic orchid]

Also

Kimi was in F2

Nowhere near winning the championship as well

Max got catapulted from freaking F4

[stiff bough]

largely due to prema's own shortfalls

[rustic orchid]

Look

Max was dragging a toro rosso into good points

Kimi already has a really decent car

can’t compare them just yet

[blissful orbit]

Kimi has potential

its jsut ppl have too much expectations from him

which is why it makes sense keeping Kimi

[stiff bough]

the toro rosso was also pretty good. The one thing neither Kimi or Max were missing in their debut seasons was pace, its just other areas

[rustic orchid]

Mate

Once max got a decent car

he won

Immediately

[stiff bough]

because the two mercedes crashed each other out and his teammate got served a poor strat

[rustic orchid]

Ik the merc shit but still

[stiff bough]

not tryna sound like im bringing down max but

circumstances

[blissful orbit]

because eventually Max will retire (or take a sabbatical) sooner than we think, then toto will need a driver immediately to fill in Verstappen's role. Kimi is much younger & has a lot to develop so by then he'll have a ready driver.

[rustic orchid]

True but not on 25’ Mercedes level

True

[stiff bough]

Why go for a driver if they're going to leave in a couple years anyway?

[blissful orbit]

same cant be said with a Russell-Verstappen lineup. Max will never want to lose & George will be extremely hungry to win. Either way, one of them is getting wasted no doubt.

so 100%, Kimi-Max is the better lineup

[rustic orchid]

If u give max a good car he will be motivated to continue

[stiff bough]

It'd be very very backwards for a team like Mercedes, who is always planning long term, to go for a short term driver and then have to go search the market again

[blissful orbit]

& I see no reason why we would doubt it

[rustic orchid]

He still has many years left

[blissful orbit]

Kimi is long term

[stiff bough]

So is George

Max is not long term

[rustic orchid]

Exactly

[stiff bough]

Max has already shown aspirations to do racing elsewhere

Already shown his growing dislike for the direction the sport is going

I get that its only logical to go for the best driver

But you would be dismantling your long term plans for the sake of it

[blissful orbit]

No he is not

[stiff bough]

Yes he is

He is their junior, their team leader

their future world champion

[blissful orbit]

"future"

buddy, he'll be 30+ by the time Max leaves

[stiff bough]

They're the same age

Point of it is, Russell is already a Mercedes investment, he hasn't shown himself to leave for any other teams

He is Mercedes through and through until the end

[rustic orchid]

Mercedes looks good for next year

They would ideally want the best chance to win the championship

especially with McLaren dominating

So it makes sense to go for max

[stiff bough]

Is George not capable of doing that for them?

[rustic orchid]

max > George any day tho

[stiff bough]

The same George who stepped into their car on a dimes notice and was on course to win in Sakhir? The same George who came into the team, and was on par or beating Lewis?

[rustic orchid]

Also if max leaves f1 soon like u said then can’t rule out George’s return

[neat fern]

And Kimi 18

[rustic orchid]

1. W11, best f1 car built ever
2. Lewis is way past his prime

[stiff bough]

Very few drivers return to their past teams after leaving

[rustic orchid]

I’m saying that as a Ferrari fan

[neat fern]

People can’t genuinely say George equal to max

[stiff bough]

But was he past his prime in 2022? After he came off of arguably his best title contending performance

[neat fern]

Or better

[rustic orchid]

Look at single seater experience bro

[neat fern]

He struggled asf

[stiff bough]

But you don't magically forget how to drive after having your best season

[neat fern]

2023 beat Russel with a big margin

[stiff bough]

Yes he did

[neat fern]

New regs

[stiff bough]

Russell did not have a good year

His pace was fine

Just a lot of mistakes

[rustic orchid]

Mate Lewis beat George 23

By a lot I will add

[stiff bough]

Yes I know I watched 2023 with my two own eyes

unfortunately

one of the worst seasons ive ever seen lol

[neat fern]

It wasn’t bad?

[stiff bough]

no it definitely was

[neat fern]

How?

[rustic orchid]

21 was not Lewis best season

imo it was 2018

[neat fern]

18

[rustic orchid]

Yeah

[snow swan]

i’d say 18 yeah but i’ve heard good arguments for 2007 and 2008

[rustic orchid]

as a rookie yeah

[neat fern]

2007 yeah

[snow swan]

if only he hadn’t bottled the pit entry

[stiff bough]

Because I don't like watching the same guy win 19 races in a single season, nor do I want to watch a parade of cars most races because the tyres are fragile as fuck and the racing got noticeably worse from 2022

[neat fern]

But 2018 was more impressive tho but 2007 he was a rookie so

[neat fern]

McLarens bad tho

Should’ve pulled him in earlier

[snow swan]

exactly

[rustic orchid]

Merc vs Ferrari went down the wire tho

3 points

[neat fern]

Racing part I agree

[stiff bough]

in points

[gloomy wharf]

When?

[stiff bough]

I don't remember very many instances of the two teams battling on track

[neat fern]

We had Alonso vs Ham

[gloomy wharf]

Did McLaren and Ferrari have a close point battle last season?

[neat fern]

Yes

[rustic orchid]

Yes

[stiff bough]

mmmm

[gloomy wharf]

Good.

[rustic orchid]

If Sainz had won

And Norris 2nd

we would’ve got it

On win count

[gloomy wharf]

IT WAS SO CLOSE to y’all’s year. My condolences.

[rustic orchid]

💀🤏

[neat fern]

If Sainz didn’t bin it in Baku

[rustic orchid]

100 percent checos fault btw

[gloomy wharf]

I’m still proud of Lando, of course, but I couldn’t resist that remark. Sorry, Tifosi.

[snow swan]

If Ferrari didn't bin the midseason

[neat fern]

Yeah maybe

[stiff bough]

if you were to place fault, yes.

[snow swan]

[stiff bough]

Since it is the overtaking cars responsibility to do so without causing a collision

[rustic orchid]

just unlucky

[gloomy wharf]

Do you mean that the tires wear out fast or get punctured easily?

[neat fern]

Guys next year is our year

[rustic orchid]

Yes we need some more of this hopium
