[haughty marten]

Also McLaren usually performs like shit in Vegas

[rapid adder]

Guys

[zinc saffron]

aston martin is on clearance sale.. who's up for the deal?

[rapid adder]

Norris almost crashed into Oscar

[mystic sky]

we can buy the team?

[foggy kindle]

nah what i mean is he’ll probably be forced to undergo the ferrari experience ™ with s🅱️inotto

[pastel turtle]

Im predicting McLaren dominance for next 5 years

[mystic sky]

nooooo

[rapid adder]

2026 regs 😔

[haughty marten]

I think it's more of a McLaren vs Mercedes rivalry

[mortal prairie]

i'm predicting mcl dominance ends after reg change

[haughty marten]

I dunno

They got good technical staff

[foggy kindle]

and by the end of it he’ll have alonso’s look of despair

[zinc saffron]

they gonna turn it into private venture soon..

[haughty marten]

Technical staff matters tbh, and McLaren might have the best rn

[hushed olive]

mclaren and merc might be the teams to beat in 26. red bull might be terrible, ferrari is the real doubt here

[foggy kindle]

ferrari is very hit or miss

[haughty marten]

Especially with the Merc power unit being dominant

[pastel turtle]

I can see that Kimi and Russel have potential

[foggy kindle]

toro rosso might cook, but their chances aren’t big as well

[mystic sky]

please say ferrari 2019 engine returns 🙏

[somber blaze]

i think minardi might do well next year

[haughty marten]

I would love a Piastri-Antonelli title battle

[pastel turtle]

Im predicting RB downfall

[split bane]

I bet for Tyrrell comeback

[grim anvil]

I personally cannot wait for HRT's dominance

[haughty marten]

Red Bull using a new power unit is gonna be interesting

[somber blaze]

benetton dominance incoming

[marble kiln]

My name is Sonny Hayes
And I am Fernando Goatlonso

[haughty marten]

Tyrrell is Mercedes now

[hushed olive]

mclaren honda 2015 all over again

[mortal plume]

I can't believe the aston Martin actually did well I'm so happy😁

[hushed olive]

[split bane]

You see, im not wrong then

[zinc rock]

pov: trans people on hormone replacement therapy

[grim anvil]

they managed to pull Newey out of the wind tunnel for some advice for once

[somber blaze]

surprised he didnt blow away

[frank beacon]

Okay it's settled Kimi p3

[haughty marten]

You know

That means that Jackie Stewart and Lewis Hamilton raced for the same team

[somber blaze]

i want a brabham and lotus wcc fight

[mortal plume]

I hope they also do well tomorrow and on the race

[marble kiln]

Newey had a special white substance in his blood and had a whole ass wind tunnel in his brain😭 🙏

[haughty marten]

And since Jos Verstappen raced in Minardi and Stewart

Jos and Max technically had the same teams

[visual tartan]

whos first

[somber blaze]

me

[haughty marten]

Kinda want a Brabham and Lotus revival

[pastel turtle]

What you guys think about Audi making it into F1

[visual tartan]

WTF

[hushed olive]

Alonso has raced with 2 verstappens, 2 kimis, and 3 schumachers

[haughty marten]

And the real Lotus

Not a rebranded Renault or that shitty Caterham team

[modest abyss]

Guy's what happened at the practice aston martin was like a fire today

[visual tartan]

LANCE TROLL P4???

[haughty marten]

If they can turn Sauber into a contender them I'll be happy for them

[visual tartan]

oh yes

[modest abyss]

Yeah he was p3 btw but leclerc stole it

[grim anvil]

Sir Lancelot Strollmeister was cooking, yes.

[haughty marten]

Imagine if McLaren, Mercedes, and Audi were the top 3 teams next year

[grim anvil]

He was P1 at one point too but he was the first car to put a lap on the softs

[hushed olive]

Jos,max,raikkonen,antonelli,michael,ralf,mick

[snow swan]

Was Oscar testing anything on his car? No way Lando was flying past him that easily surely right?

[visual tartan]

And 4 sebastians

[haughty marten]

Alonso is also the only driver to drive a GP2 Engine in a Formula One race

[haughty marten]

It's practice

[grim anvil]

Nah not really

[snow swan]

His lap times were insane compared to Oscar

[hushed olive]

Alonso has raced with mika hakkinen all the way to isack hadjar and todays rookies

[dapper yoke]

Apex

[grim anvil]

I mean its one of Lando's best tracks too

[visual tartan]

oscar's prob just testing the track

[haughty marten]

McLaren is good here

[snow swan]

Fair

[hushed olive]

they dominated here last year

[grim anvil]

Oscar was 2 hundrenths down from Lando at one point too so maybe he's conserving? Idk

[clever island]

yoo wsg

[split bane]

Mclaren is the best here

[snow swan]

Good to see Lando put these laps on board ngl

[visual tartan]

shumacher has raced with senna, prost, alonso, hamilton, button, and so much more world champuions its insane

[grim anvil]

yeah he's dialed

[hushed olive]

most tracks incoming are mclaren tracks

[haughty marten]

Probably feels bad for emasculating Lando in Spa /jk

[white sonnet]

FP2 result?

[grim anvil]

shit he better not lmfao that was a masterclass

[visual tartan]

quite a british track eh?

[hushed olive]

mclaren was bad in las vegas last year. they could be this year too and see another winner but it still remains a while for that

[fast zealot]

I didn’t watch it he practices was there anything interesting?

[grim anvil]

uhhh, ya boy was in P14

[haughty marten]

And McLaren also is less strong on fast tracks

So we might see another winner in Monza too

[fast zealot]

I have many boys which one

[split bane]

Norris, Piastri, Leclerc, Stroll, Hamilton, Alonso the top 6

[grim anvil]

[hushed olive]

Albon is cooking in that williams this season

[fast zealot]

It’s some kind of performance boost every time I can’t even explain it

[hushed olive]

cant say the same for sainz...

[white sonnet]

thanks

[haughty marten]

I've been wrong about Albon

I used to think he was merely beating up on bad teammates, but holy crap he's been good this year.

[hushed olive]

hamilton and hulkenberg are the only v8 era drivers that remain on the grid. crazy to think

[haughty marten]

Alonso?

[hushed olive]

Alonso is v10

[visual tartan]

he was 3rd closest to max after perez and riccardo

[haughty marten]

Oh yeah that's right

[grim anvil]

Albon with that knowledge diff on the car is paying dividends for him against Sainz

I also expected Sainz to come in and just start waxing Albon and boy was I wrong

[neat fern]

You guys think redbull will get a single win in 26

[rapid field]

Yes

[haughty marten]

Max will will them to at least one victory

[indigo ice]

gabriel bortoleto will be the 2026 world champion

[winter forge]

nope

[neat fern]

I’m not so sure

[grim anvil]

yeah as long as Max is driving it he's guaranteed 1 at most

[haughty marten]

Kinda want a Bortoleto win one of these days

[visual tartan]

assuming max is even in redbull

[haughty marten]

Low-key a bit of a Borto fan since he's a former McLaren junior

[grim anvil]

he will be next year

[hushed olive]

red bull might suck at this track

[haughty marten]

Yeah. Red Bull hates slow corners.

[hushed olive]

mostly low speed corners

[indigo ice]

If you stop to think about the newcomers, Bortoleto is doing very well.

[hushed olive]

[haughty marten]

I've been impressed by Borto and Hadjar the most

Given how bad their teams are, they've been dragging their cars to relevance

[hushed olive]

colapinto is the only really bad rookie this season

lawson was also trash but he is improving alot now

[haughty marten]

I expected Kimi to be solid since he's in Mercedes

Ollie has been OK, but he's made silly mistakes

Lawson started bad but he's been improving

[grim anvil]

colapinto has been completely anonymous all season

[cinder trench]

he just got his confidence destroyed

[split bane]

He have to deal with the worst car of the field

[haughty marten]

He's also driving an Alpenis so it's not surprising

[sweet horizon]

Alpenis lol

[haughty marten]

But if there's one thing about Colapinto that I think he really needs to improve, it's his racecraft

[indigo ice]

I know it was luck, but do you think the result that Hulkberg achieved with Sauber will put pressure on Borto?

[haughty marten]

His qualy pace is ok, given that his car is a glorified Ford Pinto.

But his racecraft is ATROCIOUS

Like....Maldonado-level

[haughty marten]

Not really. He's a rookie

[grim anvil]

no not really, Borto isn't really under alot of pressure with the sauber.

if anything it should inspire him

[haughty marten]

The only really good rookie in F1 from recent history is Hamilton

[hushed olive]

Colapinto is like an argentinian sargeant

[haughty marten]

Next to Hamilton, maybe Piastri and Verstappen in their rookie years

[haughty marten]

*Maldonado

[jolly sinew]

Nah the best rookie will always be alonso

[indigo ice]

Brazilians partially support Bortoleto, they compare him a lot with Senna which is very disturbing.

[haughty marten]

Colapinto wanted to emulate a South American driver

But instead of Ayrton Senna...he emulated Pastor Maldonado

[hushed olive]

i mean both colapinto and maldonado crashed alot

[indigo ice]

good pun

[hushed olive]

and were in williams

[haughty marten]

Imagine if Colapinto gets a fluke win like Maldonado

apart from the crashes colapinto was fairly decent last season. but he is just nowhere this year....

[somber blaze]

basically yea

[trim sail]

[haughty marten]

Wait

Imagine Qatar

Colapinto somehow finishes ahead of both McLarens to win, then Norris and Piastri carry him like how Alonso and Raikkonen carried Maldonado in that one race podium

[fallen junco]

Few years back it was Mercedes

[haughty marten]

He's driving the worst car

[trim sail]

even further back you get red bull again

[haughty marten]

And Red Bull

[dense herald]

Yea we are so back 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[trim sail]

all the vettel fans

[hushed olive]

gasly has been scoring points with that car. the alpine is bad, but not like 2024 sauber level.

[dense herald]

Lando please do it tmr and Sunday 🙏🙏 full clean sweep grand slam just do it

[trim sail]

we need a tsunodium

[haughty marten]

Tbh Gasly is the kind of guy who could drag a Wheelie Bin to the points

[fallen junco]

Those two couldn’t even give Nico a proper shower on his first podium.. and you expect them to lift up Colapinto

[indigo ice]

I've been following McLaren since LW's time. However, Formula 1 isn't like basketball or football, where you support just one team.

[trim sail]

they tried to make up for it last race

they absolutely covered leclerc in champagne

[hushed olive]

gasly in the last races of last year was insanely fast

[pastel turtle]

Praying on McLaren downfall

[haughty marten]

Imagine Gasly in a McLaren or a Mercedes

[indigo ice]

you really twist for Alpine?

[trim sail]

true

they need to crash more often, so that we can get hadjar a podium

[pastel turtle]

Always been even during Renault days

[haughty marten]

Or after McLaren seals the WDC and WCC, Oscar and Lando take the race off to smoke pot in the paddock

[hushed olive]

gasly in silverstone was underrated

[haughty marten]

And we get a Bortoleto-Hadjar-Tsunoda podium

[hushed olive]

p6 with the alpine is insane

[trim sail]

renault was amazing and then fernando left the first time, and everything broke

nelson piquet jr was interesting

[indigo ice]

Do you know a pilot called Rafael Camara?

[fallen junco]

Were they doing that to hide Charles’s tears

[haughty marten]

Gasly is legit a masochist for staying in Alpenis for that long

[trim sail]

hopefully

[hushed olive]

Gasly is that kind of guy that always perform so good in midfield teams. but in a red bull like in 2019, he got wiped.

[haughty marten]

Or they replace Crofty and Brundle as the announcers

[haughty marten]

Lando as the shouty guy a la Crofty

Oscar as the quiet guy

[trim sail]

quite likely

the only interesting thing about that was was lewis hamilton moving up, and bortoleto stealing hulkenbergs 9th position because hulkenberg "couldn't pass", and so bortoleto spent the rest of the race not overtaking anyone

[floral otter]

if only you got points from practice
then latifi would have had his fastest lap in practice be like a race win in 2022

[foggy kindle]

Lando, we can be world champions, I said! Please, Lando-

[trim sail]

hopefully hamilton gets at least a couple podiums this year, he has to adjust to how bad ferrari is before he can get top 3

[hushed olive]

is crazy that he hasnt got any podiums yet

at this point of the season last year he already had 2 wins and another 2 podiums

[abstract rover]

Facts tho!!!

[dense herald]

World championship leader btw 💔

[trim sail]

I think the problem is ferraris HP sponsorship
if they get rid of that weird blue, they'll win every race thats left in the season

[lofty wagon]

Honestly, I can’t fathom how Formula 1 still relies on these enormous, lumbering cranes to extract stranded cars from the circuit. In a sport defined by split-second decisions and cutting-edge technology, watching a race grind to a halt for a machine that moves slower than a Sunday stroll is almost surreal.

These behemoths, with their awkward booms and hydraulic spasms, seem more suited to lifting derelict ships than sleek 900-horsepower racing machines. The sheer spectacle of a car being hoisted inches above the asphalt, wobbling like a toddler on stilts, feels less like precision engineering and more like an impromptu circus act.
And the timing! Just when drivers are pushing their limits, the race control summons the crane, turning what should be a pulse-pounding battle into an excruciating waiting game. Surely, with F1’s budget and intellect, there’s a faster, smarter way to clear the track than relying on these slow-motion mechanical monsters.

[clever eagle]

that’s too much reading ☹️

[blazing cargo]

tldr... Use something else other than those slow ass fucking cranes

[mellow sun]

What should they use other than a crane? These cars are like almost 2000 lbs

Maybe better cranes but other than that idk

[rapid field]

Thanks bro

[blazing cargo]

Every track should have trap doors... If car stops open the door and yeet it to the underground... Hardly 30s to clear the track

[lofty wagon]

You’re absolutely right—these F1 cars weigh close to 2000 lbs, so whatever moves them has to be seriously robust. My gripe isn’t with the need for cranes per se, but with how slow and clunky the ones we see actually are. I mean, in a sport that prides itself on cutting-edge innovation and lightning-fast pit stops, watching a lumbering crane take its sweet time feels like watching a VHS tape in a 4K world.

Sure, “better cranes” sounds like the obvious solution, but maybe it’s time F1 invests in some next-gen tech—drones, automated lifting platforms, or magnetic levitation—anything to keep the race flow alive without turning safety car periods into nap breaks.

Until then, we’re stuck watching these mechanical dinosaurs lumber around the track while the fans—and the drivers—lose all momentum. It’s almost as if the cranes are secretly part of the entertainment.

[mellow sun]

As long as it's like a Red Bull we won't be losing much

[hushed olive]

[mellow sun]

I'm sorry but automated lifting platforms all across the outside of the tracks? On EVERY track? Magnetic levitation? Drones that can lift a 2000lbs car off the track? Not only is some of that not even possible, but even if it was do you have ANY idea how expensive that would all be?

I'm not saying they couldn't make it a bit faster but like

[blazing cargo]

Use choppers to lift them from the ground

[mellow sun]

That is a little outrageous in terms of expectations

💀

[hushed olive]

Yuki has a red bull and he drives it like a haas

[blazing cargo]

Redbull is a haas... Max is driving it like a McLaren

[lofty wagon]

Totally fair points—you’re right, automated platforms lining every track and maglev cranes do sound like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, and the cost would be astronomical. Maybe I got a bit carried away picturing a pit lane from the future!

But hey, F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport innovation. If they can revolutionize hybrid power units and design cars with downforce levels that would make airplanes jealous, surely there’s room to rethink how we clear the track without turning it into a lumberjack show.

Maybe it’s not about drones lifting 2000 lbs cars tomorrow, but incremental improvements to speed and efficiency that don’t feel like watching dinosaurs on parade. I’m just saying: the current cranes are painfully slow for a sport that demands lightning-fast precision.

[mellow sun]

I tried using one called overtake fans but it sucked for me a lot of ads maybe for you it will be better you can try it

[robust wedge]

Ok thanks everyone

[trim sail]

there are nonpaid ways that work, they just aren't very official you could say

[mellow sun]

I watch it on RDS cause I'm from Québec (the province) lol

[undone basin]

i wtach sky sports 🥀

[shy hedge]

I tried channel 4 with vpn. Gurl they didn't even air the Bulgarian gp live oml imma kms

[junior portal]

My aunt lives there Its really amazing she sends a lot of pictures of the beautiful nature there

[mellow sun]

Unfortunately they don't do a lot of the practices and all that

But at least there's the races, so that's good

[blazing nimbus]

You want to kilometers?

[junior portal]

yea but its so beautiful tho

[stone pecan]

what💀

[mellow sun]

Max is driving like Max, just so happens that the car is shit

[shy hedge]

Gurl preach 🛐

[boreal leaf]

Hm

[mellow sun]

If he wasn't driving like he is he wouldn't be anywhere near third

[junior portal]

It needs more "upgrades"

[boreal leaf]

Bearman will get a Podium call me crazy but he will

[mellow sun]

It needs a scrapyard

[stone pecan]

the car matched the mclarens in some races in the first half
but after that the gap kept on increasing

[shy hedge]

It's legit not Max's fault he be driving a goddamn tractor

[junior portal]

Definitely 😂

[stone pecan]

and on some weekends(like bahrain), it was like the 4th fastest

[mellow sun]

The car isn't like, ALL bad. It definitely has positives

Just so happens that the list of negatives is like five times longer

[stone pecan]

so is the case for every car except the mclarens

respect to their engineers
they cooked

[mellow sun]

I'd argue the Ferrari is good when the drivers don't listen to the fucking Ferrari strategic team

Seriously, who hired these guys

[trim sail]

true

they didnt box for hards this time

[junior portal]

if lewis made his way to p7 from p18 I don’t think the Ferrari is on the list

[stone pecan]

max would have have done the same

had he started on a dry setup

the car is not bad
it just isn't as good as it was in 2023 or even early 2024 for that matter

and tsunoda's front wing isnt even upgraded

[junior portal]

I see what you are saying

[stone pecan]

yes its on a donward spiral

[junior portal]

Yea I saw that they said it when it was raining or after it stopped raining I can’t remember

[stone pecan]

i think RBR will be a proper midfield team in 2026

[junior portal]

Maybe max will be in mercedes then

[stone pecan]

he confirmed that he is staying in RB tho

[mellow sun]

Max was in that position

[junior portal]

oh really ?

[stone pecan]

yeahhh i think yesterday only

[mellow sun]

He did not do the same

[neat fern]

probably

[junior portal]

I see

[stone pecan]

overtaking leclerc is difficult

he had 12 laps to overtake charles
charles defended well

[mellow sun]

Maybe if he was in a Ferrari instead of a piece of paper mâché glued on with hopes and dreams, then he might have gone back up in Silverstone after his total wipeout lmao

[neat fern]

because leclerc had a dry setup

[stone pecan]

first 12 laps were on the wets tho

[neat fern]

inters

[stone pecan]

yeah my bad i forgot FIA does not do wet races

[mellow sun]

Leclerc was fucking locked in on not letting Max through in SPA, there was NO chance

[stone pecan]

similar thing happened in brazil last year no?

if we end up nailing the 2026 regs, lec vs ham would be the WDC fight

[mellow sun]

I mean that's assuming the McLaren isn't still only slightly worse

[junior portal]

The gap kept getting closer every lap tho I think if he had more laps than 12 laps he would’ve overtook Leclerc

[mellow sun]

They'd have to really fuck them for them to not be a contender

[stone pecan]

yeah dont mind me man i am just coping

[neat fern]

if they dont fumble again

[neat fern]

its spa so i dont thnik so

[tender spoke]

anything interesting happen in fp2?

[mellow sun]

Nah he could easily catch up, he just couldn't get past him

[stone pecan]

it was a rain setup
i think he could have finished 2nd cuz RB were good and norris makes errors
and tsunoda would have also made some overtakes
provided they did not fuck up his strategy

[lofty wagon]

Man, I gotta say, something that’s been bugging me for a while is the whole deal with the gear drivers wear underneath their race suits. Like, come on, how are these guys supposed to focus on pushing 200+ mph when they’re stuck wearing what looks like a medieval straightjacket on fire? Seriously, that fireproof underwear, the balaclava, gloves, socks, all layered up like they’re prepping for an Arctic expedition instead of a race in the middle of summer. And don’t even start with the fit. Some of those base layers look like they were designed by someone who hates comfort and just wants to see how much they can torture a human being.

[stone pecan]

thats the thing na
catching up and passing are very different

[junior portal]

maybe

[mellow sun]

He got like one good chance to pass Leclerc in the race and he couldn't do it

[junior portal]

yea that’s right

[stone pecan]

leclerc did well

[mellow sun]

For once, yes he did

[stone pecan]

he does it quite often

[mellow sun]

Not lately

[stone pecan]

he has 3 podiums in the last 5 races

4 in the last 6

[junior portal]

only possible way to protect them if they crash and there’s fire so can’t do anything about it

[mellow sun]

I mean last time I heard from him before this race he was having a breakdown about being nothing but shit

[stone pecan]

yeah and ..?

[mellow sun]

Just saying he wasn't feeling too good

[stone pecan]

yeah he has always been too harsh on himself

he is still having a great szn
only 2 mistakes - miami and silverstone gamble

[mellow sun]

Well next time tell your strategic team NOT to put on slicks when the track is about to turn into a river

[neat fern]

Leclerc is a good driver but in Silverstone he made many mistakes and had no pace

[stone pecan]

only 1 mistake - the strategy gamble

[neat fern]

russel did the same?

[stone pecan]

yes

[neat fern]

and russel was behind ham

[winter canopy]

Hungaroring is Suzuka 2.0

[stone pecan]

they both gambled

[neat fern]

for a while before he spun and still finished in front of lec

[mellow sun]

The thing is, from hearing him talk Leclerc clearly knew it was a bad idea, but he still did it because his team said so. He needs to learn to tell them no sometimes.

[stone pecan]

oh yeah for sure

[lofty wagon]

Exactly, man I totally get where you’re coming from. I actually really liked the way you put it. It’s the only realistic way to protect them in case things go sideways and the car turns into a bonfire. No argument there. But bro… sometimes they look like flame-retardant earthworms out there. Ten different layers balaclava, base layer, suit, socks, gloves — all fighting for space like it’s a clothing apocalypse. You’d think with all the F1 tech, someone could’ve designed one good piece that does it all instead of wrapping the drivers up like they’re prepping for space travel.

[stone pecan]

knowing that it is a team that bottled a 1-2 in monaco, i dont see why u still trust them

[neat fern]

and rammed sainz for example

he ran off the track a couple of times

[zealous socket]

does someone know where they are or like if they arrived to the hotels? or wrong chat for that one

[stone pecan]

i hope we get a 3-4 here

[mellow sun]

Hamilton hasn't even been there a year and he already looks done with their bullshit, I don't know how Leclerc still trusts the Ferrari "strategist"

[neat fern]

maybe

[stone pecan]

literally man

[neat fern]

its not even been bad this year tho

silverstone they amde the right choice with ham

[formal lotus]

Max Verstappen has a warning for Towelgate

[mellow sun]

Thanks to the fact that they have Charles Leclerc and Lewis fucking Hamilton behind the wheel

[neat fern]

and miami sprint

[stone pecan]

spa and silverstone were ig mixed emotions

[mellow sun]

I'm not saying the whole team sucks, I'm saying their strategists suck

[zealous socket]

does someone know where they are or like if they arrived to the hotels? or wrong chat for that one

[neat fern]

well yeah but the team did nothing wrong tho

[stone pecan]

they cant make a championship winning car either

[junior portal]

That’s right but I don’t really see how they’d come up with a fire protection suit and at the same time be comfortable and looking good it just isn’t possible/easy to make I think Im not sure tho.

[tender spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/mario-kart-mario-kart-in-real-life-mario-kart8-mario-kart8deluxe-mario-kart-remi-gaillard-gif-25315746

[mellow sun]

Eh, I'd argue their car's not too bad, it's almost always third or second best

[neat fern]

For example the best pitstops this season and their strategis hasn’t been bad this season

[stone pecan]

ferrari definitely does not deserve 2nd in the WCC
as someone rightly pointed it out, only reason we get 20 points per race is cuz of leclerc and hamilton

[mellow sun]

If Hulkenberg can run a Sauber up to podium, I think Hamilton and Leclerc can run a Ferrari to a win

[neat fern]

and the other teams having issues and 1 driver

[mellow sun]

It's just that McLaren is too good lmao

[neat fern]

merc has reliability issues

merc and rebull is going backwards

[stone pecan]

4th fastest on a few occassions
2nd fastest once in a blue moon
3rd fastest most of the time
that aint championship winning

[lofty wagon]

Man, we need to talk about those so-called "cockpit headrests" in Formula 1. Because I’m convinced they were designed by a guy whose only qualification was owning a couch from 1983. You mean to tell me these teams spend hundreds of millions developing a car with aerospace-level materials, wind tunnel testing, CFD simulations, and military-grade telemetry just to shove a glorified pool noodle around the driver's head like it's arts and crafts time at summer camp? At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if one day a driver peels it off mid-race and launches it out like a protest.

[stone pecan]

yep
kimi antonelli got a lot of bad luck
and RBR have a mix of everything

ideally there should be like a tight fight between merc ferrari and RBR for 2nd place

cuz all have been 2nd fastest, 3rd fastest, and 4th fastest

but this is where driver lineup prevails

[neat fern]

every team has had a win except ferrari

leclerc maybe couldve won monaco

[stone pecan]

we r waiting for the autodrome nazionale di monza

[mellow sun]

McLaren just has 2 drivers that are arguably top 5 on the current grid, if not then they're near it, and a car that drives like a rocket ship on wheels with maneuverability smoother than butter

[stone pecan]

but yeah its such a joke

[stone pecan]

yeah he could have but credit to norris

[neat fern]

Yeah

[stone pecan]

lovely pole lap

[neat fern]

fr

[mellow sun]

It's tough to beat that in a regular to good F1 car, let alone a beatdown scrapbox of a Red Bull or while driving for Ferrari

[nimble mist]

That he was making a towel in Verstappen's car????

[stone pecan]

piastri is top 5

[stone pecan]

i still don't understand why he had a towel in the cockpit

[neat fern]

hahahah

[nimble mist]

:v

[mellow sun]

They're both pretty much even right now, it's essentially just about who makes more mistakes

[neat fern]

gp looked angry when fia came to check

[mellow sun]

But I do think Piastri will be clearly better than Norris soon enough

Which is also why I want Norris to win cause this might be like his only chance to do so lmao

[stone pecan]

oh for sure

piastri has a very steep learning curve

[grim anvil]

this is so funny lmfao

[mellow sun]

I think Norris is held back by his self confidence issues that he desperately tries to cover up by pretending to be the most insufferably cocky man ever sometimes

And then gets depressed every time he doesn't win

[stone pecan]

everybody knows he has pace

[grim anvil]

shit... I mean this is facts

[mellow sun]

Because when Norris is locked in, he is LOCKED IN

[stone pecan]

yeah for example the cooldown room moment with hamilton

then undermining max's interlagos win

norris was so likeable until '24

[mellow sun]

"It's not skill... Just luck-"

Bro I cannot keep defending you

[stone pecan]

see luck was involved

with the SC and everything
but "just" luck bro come on

[carmine prairie]

This man needs a therapist

And a sports psychologist

[stone pecan]

i know someone who needs this more

[mellow sun]

I think Norris desperately needs to just turn off social media, never look at a single post about him until the season's over

[carmine prairie]

ok?

[molten umbra]

Too late for him

[mellow sun]

And lock the fuck in

[stone pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/charles-leclerc-bruh-banana-suit-charles-leclerc-gif-27525709

[mellow sun]

He doesn't need therapy, he needs a new team

[carmine prairie]

No therapist gone be able to fix ts

[mellow sun]

Genuinely I think if he shuts up, keeps his head down and stops getting depressed every time a minor inconvenience happens, he IS better than Piastri

[winter canopy]

Nah he has some supporters he can rely on😂

[burnt aurora]

He just needs a pr team

[stone pecan]

not better but the title fight would be way more unpredictable

[winter canopy]

He just needs to learn how to drive under pressure thats his only big flaw

[mellow sun]

No I genuinely think that, when Lando isn't fumbling under pressure, he's better than Piastri

Not by that much, but still

[true bolt]

Chat, what happened at the hunger GP

[mellow sun]

Gp is in two days

[true bolt]

What u think will happen

[winter canopy]

Unfortunately this happens very rarely

[junior granite]

been a year and people are still taking that quotation out of context

[mellow sun]

Silverstone I think was a perfect example of Norris not folding

[mellow sun]

I mean that was like 99% a joke

[junior granite]

no he's talking about max gaining places from the red flag

[mellow sun]

No I mean me saying it was a joke

[junior granite]

ah

[mellow sun]

I said the same thing when he fucked up at the end of SPA

Even though I know he had like no chance and he started too late

[lofty wagon]

In recent years, the comparison between Lance Stroll and Daniel Ricciardo has often been tilted by public perception, nostalgia, and personality-driven popularity rather than on-track substance. Secondly, Stroll’s podium finishes and performances in mixed conditions highlight a level of racecraft that is too often ignored. His 2020 Turkish Grand Prix pole position, in treacherous conditions, stands as one of the most impressive wet-weather laps in recent memory — and one Ricciardo himself has not replicated in recent seasons Firstly, Stroll’s adaptability to modern F1 machinery and regulation changes has been considerably underappreciated. While Ricciardo has notably struggled to find form since his departure from Red Bull — underperforming in both Renault and McLaren, and now fighting for relevance at AlphaTauri/Visa Cash App RB

[twin shell]

Copium

[mellow sun]

It's common knowledge

Norris' biggest weakness is that he folds under pressure

[twin shell]

So… that means he doesn’t do as good…

Oscar is more than likely gonna win the WDC

[marble kiln]

Did you mention Daniel Ricciardo from the hit team visacashapp rb, the same man who beat max verstappen in equal machinery then threw away his career?🗣️ 🔥 💯

[mellow sun]

But when he manages to not fold he's genuinely just faster than Piastri

[twin shell]

But he’s not consistent, yea someone can set an insane lap or something or can overtake decent but it’s the consistency

[mellow sun]

That is true, he needs to work on his consistency

Which means he needs to work on not folding under pressure

[twin shell]

He has potential to be quicker on some tracks, main difference between them is Oscar is consistent

[mellow sun]

I personally think he SHOULD be quicker on most tracks, but it's also such a close gap that you could really see it go either way on almost every race

Like I said earlier it almost always comes down to who makes a mistake

[twin shell]

Yea the 20 fucking second gap between 1-2 and 3

[mellow sun]

Oh yea no everyone else is fucked

[twin shell]

I know something on that car is illegal but I can’t prove it

[mellow sun]

Bro thinks he's Doakes

[desert salmon]

I am in no way a Norris stan, I'm a McLaren fan. Norris could have genuinely been the next Verstappen in terms of on-track dominance. In their current car, he puts in all the right stuff. It's all consistency and nerves.

Oscar is 95% as fast as Lando, but remains so much more consistant, which pays off.

[twin shell]

He’s not at Verstappen yet

[desert salmon]

100%

[twin shell]

No 😭

[hushed olive]

Raw pace: lando
Consistency: piastri

[mellow sun]

I don't think Norris ever had the mental disposition to be a Verstappen

I love him, but I just cannot see it

[desert salmon]

I meant 100% as in I agree with you.

[twin shell]

This is coming from a lando fan. I’m not hating on lando, I prefer Oscar but Max is in his own category it’s not even close

[twin shell]

Ohhhhhhh mb dude sorry

Lowkey i want to see what max could do in Le Mans

[desert salmon]

When I made the Max comparison, I am wholly just speaking on this season. Next year is going to be the Wild West.

[mellow sun]

Not to say he couldn't be one of the greats, I'm sure both Norris and Piastri will end up good enough to be icons of the sport in their own right, but they're not Max or Hamilton

[twin shell]

Next season is going to be insane

[mellow sun]

Though I despise Max's racing style with a passion, I can't deny that the man is a multi-generational talent and we were graced by the stars to have two of those at once in him and Hamilton

[twin shell]

Here’s my prediction, it’s going to be Mercedes Ferrari and Aston 123 in that order, and it’s going to be McLaren and Red Bull fighting 4th, just a a prediction because I have hope in Ferrari and Mercedes, Aston is putting a SHIT TON of attention into the 2026 car, and I feel like McLaren is focusing too much on the mcl39

[mellow sun]

Too bad he's currently driving a busted up Honda civic with half a tank of gas

[twin shell]

And Red Bull actually might be higher because of the new ford engines. But everyone in this chat knows the truth that haas is going to get a 1-2 every race next year and win the WDC and WCC and win every race and break every record

[twin shell]

2021 was peak, I didn’t get to watch it but based on what I HAVE seen

[mellow sun]

I dunno, it depends. I've said it before, but they'd have to MAJORLY fuck the McLaren to not have it be a contender

[twin shell]

Fair, tbh I think we can just kinda group the big 4 up there and now toss in Aston for front row because it is a brand new season

[desert salmon]

Honestly, RB/Ford is gonna be either 3rd or 9th.

[twin shell]

This is the most real statement actually 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[mellow sun]

Next year put the Incredible Hulk in the second Red Bull seat

[twin shell]

Hulk in a McLaren would do numbers

I do think hulk is top 10 if not 5 on the grid rn

May be biased some because he’s an old haas driver

[mellow sun]

That man made his career driving shitboxes into half-decent positions, this would be like an average day for him

[desert salmon]

Nooo, Let Yuki & Laurent cook.

[mellow sun]

I think that and I'm not even a Sauber or Haas fan

That man's ability to drive absolute bricks into top 10 is unmatched

[mellow sun]

Give Yuki the Sauber seat or smth I dunno

[warm meteor]

guys can we all agree that this weekend is the most obvious Mclaren 1-2 and Lewis finishing on P3 ever

[lusty viper]

Well the McLaren 1-2 sure

[split bane]

For now Leclerc is in front of him

[lusty viper]

But FP1 and 2 haven’t really shown much promise for Hamilton

Still struggling with setups

[warm meteor]

neither did the FP-s in 2023

[lusty viper]

I would love to see the podium though, Lewis raced so well in Spa from the back but yeah we’ll see

[split bane]

Yeah, Lewis isn't very far from Leclerc with qualy laps... let's hope he will be in front of him in qualifying

[split bane]

This track isn't very much one of the best for Leclerc

[warm meteor]

Merc f-up the car development as usual and were testing the old suspension today + it's a rear limited track which means RB is gonna get battered like in Bahrain

[split bane]

With red bull you never know in friday, they change the whole car all in a night

[warm meteor]

buddy look how they were doing on rear-limited tracks this year

[lusty viper]

Yeah he’s definitely getting there, race pace generally there more often than not

[steel tapir]

Wtf was this 😭

[warm meteor]

just exclude canada cause its pointless

[split bane]

If they are slow then it's better, more points for Ferrari and Lewis

[warm meteor]

ofc they will be slow asf

[lusty viper]

What do you mean by rear limited?

[subtle crest]

So, who’s coming this weekend, my friends?

[warm meteor]

puts more stress on rear tyres basically

[lusty viper]

Ah right

I don't care if piastri wins, as long as norris doesnt win!

[neat fern]

💀 why

[narrow atlas]

Why did ChatGPT make Yuki chubby and actually tall😭

[modest geyser]

[neat fern]

If hes tall im a giant

[narrow atlas]

Fr

[sand cypress]

Just make Yuki smøl and it'll be quite accurate

Fun Fact: i am 15 but 7cm taller than Yuki

[neat fern]

In the big 25

[mellow sun]

Fun fact: the average height for men in Japan is around 5'7, so Yuki can't even blame that

He's just straight short

[neat fern]

And he is

[narrow atlas]

Yeah, just made that image to give me hope Yuki wins in Hungary

[mellow sun]

5'3

[mellow sun]

That shit is not happening, gang

[neat fern]

Damn

[narrow atlas]

It's only delusional until it works

[paper raptor]

Just comeback from getting muted, reason: swearing

[hushed olive]

Max cant get podiums

Yuki cant get points

Red bull is a disaster

[paper raptor]

2024: "say less"

[mellow sun]

I'm not even talking as a McLaren fan, Yuki would need like a 10 car pile-up for that shit to happen

And even then he might not get it

[hushed olive]

There are even backmarkers that usually finish ahead of yuki

Not only the top drivers

[narrow atlas]

Tbh Yuki needs to be in a good car that can get wins (McLaren or Merc) and then Yuki will start winning, Yuki/Oscar pair would be fire imo

[hushed olive]

Yuki is usally behind every driver except colapinto

[mellow sun]

nobody is putting Yuki Tsunoda in a McLaren instead of Lando Norris

[narrow atlas]

And also Liam is always back

[hushed olive]

And he was even behind colapinto in austria lol

[hushed olive]

Liam isnt that bad now

[undone basin]

liams actually hasnt been to bad these past races

[mellow sun]

They'd have to be on crack and severely broke

[narrow atlas]

Then Yuki/Kimi, George to RBR?

[narrow atlas]

Yeah, just activate Liam red bull mentality

[mellow sun]

Put Yuki in Aston Martin instead of Stroll

Kick Stroll back to F2 so he can actually improve

And then come back as a genuinely good driver

[hushed olive]

Yuki the last few races:
Monaco: P17
Spain: P13
Canada: P12
Austria: P16 (Last)
Britain: P15 (Last)
Belgium: P13

[narrow atlas]

Stroll wasn't even in f2

[mellow sun]

I know

Which is why he needs to go there 😭 🙏

[narrow atlas]

Put him in nascar maybe

[mellow sun]

Nah literally just send him back so he can get better in an environment where he can genuinely thrive

And come back to F1 later without all the pouting

[hushed olive]

Yuki is just last year checo at this point

But without the great start

[mellow sun]

Yuki is genuinely a good rookie, but you put the guy in a shopping cart

[sinful flint]

he aint a rookie bro

[mellow sun]

Who do you think he is? Max Verstappen?

[mellow sun]

Oh you right

[sinful flint]

hes had 4 and a half years in f1 now he aint no rookie anymore, its just rly that red bull car is absoulte shite

[mellow sun]

I meant young driver my bad dawg

[sinful flint]

as max said he aint an idiot

[hushed olive]

Yuki has a red bull and drives it like a haas

[mellow sun]

A Haas is still better than a 2025 Red Bull 😭

[sinful flint]

no he doesnt, he drives it as well as he can and we saw, as soon as laurent started forcusing on the 2nd driver, yuki got the confidence and pace to be up in the fight in the top 8

[mellow sun]

Unfortunately Max also fucked up majorly at the same time

But that's just how he is, either he wins big or he's fucked

[sharp wave]

How long does the Hungarian GP last for?

I'm just wondering for length on Sunday

[warm meteor]

got the confidence bc he started getting upgrades😭

[warm meteor]

im not blaming yuki for driving like shit in a team which doesnt give u upgrades

[modest geyser]

around 1.5 to 2 hours normally.

[warm meteor]

at spa he had the suspension max already tested earlier like a month ago

[modest geyser]

like most GPs, due to them all wanting to be around uh 100km or something no?

[junior granite]

he binned the car in imola and got off track that way

like yeah his relative performance isn't 100% representative but it's also his fault

[warm meteor]

my guy it happens to everyone but for some reason redbull chose to act like broke asses and not give him any upgrades

[junior granite]

it's not unreasonable to spend your limited cost cap on spare parts for the guy actually getting consistent points

tsunoda has basically been one spec of car behind which would explain some of the performance gap but not all of it

[jovial holly]

The car is built around max and its still a shitbox

[junior granite]

clearly not considering max is third in the championship

[jovial holly]

I mean didnt Albon talk about it too?

[junior granite]

anyway, regardless of what we think about the car itself that doesn't change the fact that you prioritize the guy who's getting points constantly

[jovial holly]

If I’m being real as a driver Max outperforms everyone on the grid (my opinion) but at the same time if a car is first on the corners and 18th on the straights, you cant really say its not a shitbox

[junior granite]

so no shit you're gonna give him spare parts rather than gamble on tsunoda placing top 10

[jovial holly]

Isn’t Tsunoda automatically out of Red Bull after this season because Honda’s moving to Aston?

[junior granite]

Max does not piss rocket fuel vro it's a hard car to drive and set up but it's clearly fast

[mellow sun]

Max isn't third in the championship thanks to the car, the car is third thanks to Max.

[junior granite]

not necessarily automatically but I don't think he has Honda backing anymore to stay at red bull

[jovial holly]

Exactly

[junior granite]

fast but hard to drive =/= shitbox

[jovial holly]

If the last person to drive that car was Checo and he got 109 points in a rocketship car then there’s smth is wrong with the car

[mellow sun]

The car's problem isn't speed

It handles like a fucking U-Boat

[golden narwhal]

maybe he just drove the 2022 car in 2023

and he drove the 2023 car in 2024

[mellow sun]

And even then the speed's not that great

[junior granite]

sure compared to the mclarens but shitbox is a stupid term

[jovial holly]

Bortoleto is able to pull up really solid performances in that Sauber

[hushed olive]

Every team is bad compared to mclaren at this point

[jovial holly]

You really cant say that RB is a good car

[mellow sun]

No, compared to any front-runner car

[hushed olive]

Shitbox is like an alpine

[mellow sun]

If the car is so "hard to drive" that the best driver on the grid literally says it's undriveable, it's NOT a good car

[jovial holly]

It’s not cause Verstappen’s not winning that car is either a jack of all trades or just shit in one

[mellow sun]

And that was when he was still getting podiums

[junior granite]

a lot of drivers bitch about their cars

[jovial holly]

“Just change your ****ing car”

[hushed olive]

The red bull is 3rd best car of the grid

Not a backmarker like yuki is making it look like

[mellow sun]

The difference being that this is Max fucking Verstappen

[jovial holly]

Ferrari just has bad strats

[junior granite]

a shitbox is an alpine or a haas (except when they randomly become fast again)

i object to the term not your analysis here

[jovial holly]

I’d say RB is 4th best

[hushed olive]

Midfield is so close this year i love it

[mellow sun]

3rd fastest is Mercedes

[jovial holly]

Is it not Ferrari?

[mellow sun]

No? They're second?

They're ahead in the standings

[jovial holly]

Oh shi maybe ive been clowning on them for too long ive grown oblivious

[modest geyser]

1 Mclaren
2 Ferrari
3 Merc
4 Redbull.

Constructors that is.

[mellow sun]

And again, people act like speed is the complaint, it really isn't

[hushed olive]

Ferrari since they brought the austrian upgrades has been 2nd fastest

[mellow sun]

It's the handling of the Red Bull that's absymal

[boreal mango]

Yes, hope Mercedes come again for the 2nd place

[jovial holly]

If they set that car up for speed, its handling id bad. If it handles well, it canr battle anyone on the straights

[modest geyser]

we'll see after summer break and silly season :D

[boreal mango]

I want it so bad. Since spa, it's vers difficult for us. For Mercedes fans 🥀

[modest geyser]

shit happens! :D

[hushed olive]

Merc has been crap since they won canada

[tiny surge]

was in school during the fp, verstappen didnt seem to do that well, why so?

[hushed olive]

His car became an electric scooter

[mellow sun]

Yea but a car's not supposed to handle like a submarine

[boreal mango]

Others problems too

[sharp wave]

alr

[mellow sun]

Also Red Bull is only 4th because Max has 185 out of 192 of their points

[sharp wave]

thx

[modest geyser]

That's correct.

[boreal mango]

Clear

[modest geyser]

Anything else?

[mellow sun]

Like I said, the car is 4th because of Max. Put anyone else behind that wheel, they're a mid-marker at best

[modest geyser]

They tried to change after 2 races, results stay the same /shrug

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mellow sun]

Changing shit to dog shit doesn't make much of a difference does it

[hushed olive]

Checo wouldnt be getting that car into q2

[mellow sun]

I'm surprised Yuki even HAS points

[modest geyser]

we'll never know due to checo isnt driving the car lmao

[hushed olive]

He hasnt scored for like 7 races

Since imola

[hushed olive]

Rb21 is just like second half last year Rb20

[modest geyser]

catering got expensive mate

[hushed olive]

Checo in the last races of 24 was a backmarker

Like yuki now

[modest geyser]

who would you like in the car next to max to match him? in a redbull car that is.

[mellow sun]

I'd like for Red Bull to have a car and not an insubmersible submarine

I truly do not think Yuki is even half the issue

[modest geyser]

Except that submarine is unstoppable in the rain in the right hands XD

[mellow sun]

If it's so unstoppable in the rain, how come it didn't even get podium in either of the last two races in the hands of one of the two greatest rain drivers of the last decade?

[modest geyser]

Same way we wait for dry races or im too fucking drunk to even have a valid answer for that question, your expectation is up to you :) (meh, might been wrong on that, shit happens)

[sand swift]

Hallo

[warm meteor]

is ferrari a shitbox bc they struggled in miami

[warm meteor]

just zip it when you're done atp

[tacit hare]

NICOOOOOO

if anyone could tame the second bull is nico

[regal needle]

Can you count how many time Bernd Maylander been called on track for Safety Car last week in Spa-Franchorchamps?

[devout vector]

Once

[devout vector]

daniel riccardo if he comes back out of retirement

[tacit hare]

nah

nico got it

very similar driving style to max

[mellow sun]

I'm not even a Verstappen fan

I think his driving style is reckless and genuinely dangerous sometimes

[tacit hare]

(im a delusional Hulk fan)

[mellow sun]

But facts are facts

[devout vector]

perfect fit here at ferrari fans

[mellow sun]

And obviously "anyone else" was hyperbolic

[devout vector]

join the ferrari delusional train

[tacit hare]

https://youtu.be/o4DKceFnDuU?feature=shared

https://youtu.be/7yKqwWE6DEU?feature=shared

[tacit hare]

well see

i’m not a masochist

so i can’t be a ferrari fan

[mellow sun]

No the Ferrari is perfectly fine, but also the Red Bull struggled in like over half the races

[tacit hare]

hulk got his podium the depression is over

[mellow sun]

And that's WITH Verstappen at the wheel

[lusty viper]

Think Aston Martin will have 2023 or better pace next year ?

[lusty viper]

Newey effect ✨

Although they are investing more into next year

[mellow sun]

I'm just saying they're like 244 points behind what they ended up at in 2023 lol

Maybe next year

I don't think this year is it

[lusty viper]

Oh for sure yeah

Though they looked quick today

But don’t know how much quicker times will drop

[mellow sun]

All I hope is that Norris wins and Tsunoda makes top 10

So basically a miracle for BOTH of those to happen

Mostly Tsunoda making top 10

[lusty viper]

Think Norris does better at these higher downforce tracks

More complex turns

It’s not a street race but it’s got some tricky bits

[mellow sun]

I know but he should have had the last one and he still lost so I'm pretty desperate for a win rn

[lusty viper]

Yeah I feel you

Got to be frustrating when it’s just small errors making these margins

Happened last year when he was chasing max at one of these mid season races

[mellow sun]

They should have pitted him first anyways but he could have made that comeback man

[lusty viper]

Was going qualifying mode full out on those hards

Any slight misjudgment

Few tenths lost

But title race is far from over I’d not be disheartened

[mellow sun]

Literally was like 3 seconds from Piastri towards the end and fucked up a turn

[lusty viper]

He’s a beast still when he wants to be in qualifying

[mellow sun]

I know it's not over but he needs this win

[lusty viper]

Yeah psychologically

[mellow sun]

He's going to be chronically depressed if he keeps fucking up

[lusty viper]

After Saudi Arabia had to reset himself

[mellow sun]

He's gonna hit this pose again

[lusty viper]

I mean could be worse could be a Hamilton fan 😂

We’re rooting for just a podium

[mellow sun]

Dude it could be worse

You could be Hamilton

[lusty viper]

Oh yeah

[mellow sun]

Poor guy's 40 and being tortured by Ferrari

[lusty viper]

He’s the one who feels it

[mellow sun]

Regretting that contract already

[mellow sun]

I mean he's really got nothing left to prove, but shit's still gotta be demoralizing

[lusty viper]

Yeah we kinda know the best has been but he knows he’s still got the moves on him. And he was so close in Silverstone, beaten by sauber. Although I was happy for hulk

He needs a good Hungary here

[mellow sun]

Beaten by The Incredible Hulk while he was all green

It was simply mean to be

[lusty viper]

He’s not breaking the main podium streak I hope though

Podium every season

Fwrrari breaking all these records for the wrong reasons

[mellow sun]

Ferrari's gonna break it for him don't worry

https://tenor.com/view/danielriccardo-nicohulkenberg-f1-drivetosurvive-gif-18758079

He only had to do one

Ferrari'll take care of the other 23

[rare cairn]

Bro got that “womp womp” pose 😭

[mellow sun]

Really hit that Spongebob "bwomp"

[grim egret]

foolish to remove paul ricard from the calender thats a proper track

[manic trout]

Any Nigerian Motorsport fan here?

[grim egret]

lol

[late remnant]

just because a team is ahead of another in the standings does not mean their car is better

mercedes are very close to ferrari, perhaps even on par, but are behind in the wcc thanks to antonelli having tons of off weekends

why do you think red bull lost the wcc last season

[mellow sun]

Idk I wasn't watching last year

[late remnant]

sure verstappen won the wdc but they didn't have the best car for like 3 quarters of the season

[late remnant]

basically the same thing but in reverse

[lusty viper]

my prediction is a
VER
TSU
BOTTAS (antonelli had to do homework so he stepped in)

[wispy marlin]

watch as a rosberg-hamilton moment happens and we get a first Alpine Double Podium since Interlagos 2024
