monaco-gp

[sudden bough]

so could i tbf

i think leclerc will legit get pole

but fall to p2 or p3 in the race

[red osprey]

same

i could put all my life savings (if i had life savings to begin with) on lec pole

[sage dew]

[red osprey]

maybe even out of the podium considering ferrari

like in hungary

[deft cypress]

Leclerc as P2 is insane

[sudden bough]

happened in monaco ig

[deft cypress]

Low chances it will happend again

[red osprey]

mainly cuz it was monaco

[bitter breach]

Its time for my favorite gp

Yippe

[zinc rock]

hes always insane in baku

its his best track

3rd best driver in his best track in the 3rd fastest car

i’d say he can contend for p2

[swift vigil]

Its time for an first Hamilton podium for Ferrari so:
p1 Norris
p2 Leclerc
p3 Hamilton

[zinc rock]

hamiltons last baku podium was 2019

his only win was 2018

[swift vigil]

little luck for ferrari wont hurt

[zinc rock]

ferraris luck in baku is a double dnf and a dnf in the past 3 races there

[deft cypress]

We'll see on the race

I hope ur right

I want ferrari to perform finally 😭

[grizzled sluice]

next year is our year

hamilton wins the championship

[deft cypress]

your last win was at 2007, what makes you so positive?

[split bane]

Nah Charles has to win, i don't want to see him losing with a championship-worth car

[oak shell]

P1 max
P2 leclerc
P3 norizz

[weary bough]

favorite leclerc turn is soon

[grizzled sluice]

[signal lark]

guyz i have an exam tomorrow i havent studied shit

im cooked

[sinful barn]

3 common things this season ferrari people saying
Charles - iam stupid
Hamilton - iam useless
Team - must be water

[signal lark]

"words of wisdom" as they say

but lewis saying "im just useless" hurted me down to the core

[sinful barn]

He was done with that team even before it started. The main goal was 2026 so if it doesnt go his way iam sure he is gonna retire at ferrari thats the main reason he came

[signal lark]

nah dude we dont want that

[sinful barn]

Next year is important for ferrari and lewis

Lets see how it goes

[signal lark]

lewis aint gonna retire this soon he still has more seasons left

[sinful barn]

But most of them predicting mercedes engine looking good

[signal lark]

he came for his 8th lets hope the comeback is in 2026

[signal lark]

yeaa they also told they were exited for 26

[sinful barn]

Thats what iam saying 2026 is gonna decide his future

Hope ferrari doesnt do anything stupid

[signal lark]

lets hopee they comeback in 26 #staydelusional

[sinful barn]

I want to see mercedes mclaen ferrari and rebull 4 teams fighting like in 2010

[signal lark]

that would be epic if ferrari makes the car good next season

[sinful barn]

I cried when seb retired. I want to see him back in some role in f1

[sinful barn]

Yup

[signal lark]

true man i love that guy so much

[split bane]

#essereFerrari

[sinful barn]

Charles, hamilton, oscar, lando, max fighting will be epic

[signal lark]

forza ferrari

[signal lark]

would be an exiting season

[sinful barn]

He made drivers safety what it is now. He pushed and helped drivers. He started has most hated person and ended as most loved person

The hug he gave to lewis at end he didnt give it to anyone else. Baku has made them closer more

[signal lark]

i say we get rid of Mohammed Ben Sulayem and make seb the fia president

[sinful barn]

😂😂he will do better

[signal lark]

frrrr dude

i hate Mohammed Ben Sulayem

ig we all do

[split bane]

Seb doesn't even want to be FIA president

[sinful barn]

Iam sure he is gonna get some role he is still coming to some races and doing some stuff

At rb or ferrari he will get some role soon

Team principal to some racing team will be epic iam gonna love that

[split bane]

If he comes back in F1 he will go to Red-Bull before thinking of going back to Ferrari

[sinful barn]

Yea

[signal lark]

give him a role like nico rosberg doing media idc i just wanna se seb back

[sinful barn]

Me too

That guy when ever he talks he makes everyone laugh or smile

[signal lark]

and the famous car names he gave to his cars so iconic

[sinful barn]

Can you repeat the question

[sinful barn]

Yup and he gave one of iconic photo in f1 indian gp

[signal lark]

yeaaaa

i wish i was born sooner to see that race live

im from india

[sinful barn]

Nice

[signal lark]

i was like 4-5 when that race happened

[sinful barn]

He was hated person back then

He was winning everyrace

I just cant forget the final words he said remember these days for they might not last longer its so true

[signal lark]

thats just being hated on for being too good

[sinful barn]

Yup same like max days

[signal lark]

exactly

2023 was the crazy max era year

winning 19 races that rb19 was epic

[sinful barn]

I dont understand some ppl say he didnt beat stroll. But i fell he is one the monster when it comes to quali

[sinful barn]

That was something else

Maxiii toto join together

[signal lark]

totally crazy level of racing

[signal lark]

yea i do wanted him at merc in 26 but it aint happeneing

[sinful barn]

Seb should have joined merc after ferrari but toto stopped it

Seb and lewis would have been epic

[signal lark]

and imagine if horner joined ferrari with lewis and toto with max

[sinful barn]

😂😂😂

[signal lark]

that would have been 2021 uno reverse

[sinful barn]

Toto wants him back anyways he is missing him

[signal lark]

we all do

[sinful barn]

No one there to fight

[split bane]

Not after Ferrari, before (when he left Red-Bull) yes

[signal lark]

toto and lewis are a great pair

[sinful barn]

Oh ok

[signal lark]

but i want lewis to win the wdc next year same dominance like the prime days

[sinful barn]

All team principals are silent i want toto vs honor

[split bane]

After his time in Ferrari he wasn't as fast as he was in 2017/2018

[signal lark]

true man i want the 2021 drama back or something like that but this time lewis wins the 8th

[sinful barn]

Yea he faded but early ferrari years were stronger like old seb

That german gp man he was never same after that

[signal lark]

btw who do u think would be rookie of the year

[sinful barn]

I vote for hdjar

[signal lark]

same that podium in zandvorrt was crazy

[split bane]

Hadjar, but Bortoleto is doing very good

[sinful barn]

Hdjar and bortoloto very good
Kimi has potential for sure

[signal lark]

kimi has great talent tho if he pushes hard he can win the rookie of the year

[sinful barn]

Oliver only has potential

[signal lark]

haas is the problem there

[sinful barn]

All the rookies to be honest reallt doing well

[split bane]

Nah he won't win it, Hadjar did his same number of podiums

[split bane]

And Antonelli is in Mercedes

[signal lark]

i said he has potential to win but i root for hadjar

[sinful barn]

Colap i dont know what happened last year he was good now problem

[signal lark]

ye the french effect got him

[split bane]

Alpine is the problem, shit car

[signal lark]

true

[sinful barn]

And that car 2 of rb need to changed driver was never the problem car itself is the problem

And oscar is gonna grow more with more potential.

Yah I mean it's good but not too iconic

You can say the same for lewis first WDC is also iconic with vettel

People just remember the 2021

[short lotus]

My question is why you think it’s not iconic

People still argue about it to this day so I’d say that’s a fairly good sign

look at max win this GP

mad max is back with the 20second gap

pls god give both papaya drivers 2 DNF's so max can clutch his 5th

[raw plaza]

apparently hadjar already decided for 26

[haughty marten]

Yeah....until you turn off the Playstation

[haughty marten]

Bad corners. Lots of 90° angles

Also the castle section is tough

[pure burrow]

Oh 1

[haughty marten]

Is it just me, or are Red Bull fans becoming like Ferrari fans hopium-wise?

[wet sequoia]

I mean they have a chance now for Max to win

Small but it’s there

Like Ferrari early 2022 and Ferrari late last year

[haughty marten]

It's pretty unlikely tho

The only other tracks I can see them excelling are Interlagos and Vegas

Baku will be tough cause of the corners and the castle section

[wet sequoia]

Even Norris had a chance last year until Austin then whatever chances he had left were shot in Interlagos

Small but there

[haughty marten]

But at least they're more realistic than Ferrari

[wet sequoia]

Ferrari were fighting until Abu Dhabi last year

[haughty marten]

This makes their 2025 so disappointing

[wet sequoia]

For Max he needs Piastri to DNF/finish outside the points every race and Max needs to win everything himself

[haughty marten]

I expected them to challenge us this year

[haughty marten]

That will be tough

[wet sequoia]

For WCC no, for WDC with Leclerc potentially

Depending on the car but they made dogshit

[haughty marten]

Thing with Piastri is he's willing to play it conservatively to avoid a DNF.

So if the move isn't there, he'll just gladly take the points

[haughty marten]

They changed the suspension

And it was a big fail

[wet sequoia]

They changed more then that from last year to this year

They went radical and failed

And development is 100% on 2026 now

[haughty marten]

Did the same thing McLaren did in 2013....

Radically overhauled an already successful concept

[wet sequoia]

McLaren went broke over Spygate

Ferrari did a Mercedes 2022 with a radical idea in the new era and screwed themselves

[haughty marten]

Lmao the Zero Pods concept

Fun fact: When Max Verstappen kicked his punctured wheel in Baku back in 2021, he was actually wearing Liam Lawson's boots.

Verstappen was left without a pair for the race but luckily Red Bull junior Lawson was competing in F2 that weekend and had the same size feet 🦶

Whoa, Never knew it

feet?!??!?!

Thought he was trying to walk in Maxs shoes… not the other way round 🤣

Max definitely wearing Liam's shoes

He use it for kicking that Bad Pirelli Tyre

oh lord, this'll be fun

China and Miami retain their Sprint

Silverstone return for the first time since 2021 to held a Sprint

[hybrid swan]

wow, i can barely remember 2021 Silv

[quiet socket]

one of the most iconic races from 2021 how bro

[haughty marten]

SINGAPORE?!

Look, I like Singapore, but it is NOT a fucking good track for the sprint

[regal needle]

Just like Baku, by the way

But, We know which track is best for Sprint

[hybrid swan]

i know, i was never able to watch it completely

[regal needle]

I would consider Bahrain have a Sprint

[haughty marten]

I like Bahrain

I think it may be good for it

Bahrain might be my favorite Middle Eastern track

Jeddah I think is OK
Not a Qatar fan
Abu Dhabi is meh

But Bahrain is so good for some reason.

[regal needle]

Well, With the Sprint is currently expected to be increased to 10 at around 2027, I would probably thinking they will try and do it

Alonso's DNF in Monza was caused by a stone

Update re Fernando Alonso’s Italian GP suspension failure from Aston Martin. Some gravel hit car on first lap in multiple areas, including his suspension, which compromised it. Team unaware of damage sustained. Low level continuous loading caused the eventual failure of the part.

yeah your kinda genius was used once already and I think we'd all be better off if it's not used again

Maybe George

"pew-is spam-ilton" ahh pic you literally did him dirty 😭

[alpine canopy]

I'm so excited for the race

[willow haven]

can't wait to see how it plays out tbh

baku top 5 tracks for me imo

[distant crypt]

guys what do y’all think of lindblad coming to vcarb

it’s pretty much confirmed at the point (or not)

[willow haven]

can't wait to see him there

had a pretty decent season in f2 and he's prob going to struggle at first like isack but as time goes on he'll become better and better

[distant crypt]

honestly just hope he doesn’t end up like uk another de vries

very high hopes but then very little performance type of scenario

[willow haven]

they gave him NO time at all 😭

[distant crypt]

but that’s also coz they wanted danny ric back

like horner was obviously very very biased

[willow haven]

and that didn't last too long either

[alpine canopy]

Me too

[distant crypt]

yeah but for an 8 time race winner the expectations were set too high

[willow haven]

wish daniel didn't go to renault

[alpine canopy]

I think I love naku too

[willow haven]

i feel like he'd have a decent career

[distant crypt]

i mean it’s refreshing to see they are doing to verstappen play book again pick up the 17 year old over achieving kid

[willow haven]

as long as you don't crash the track is fun lol

[distant crypt]

and as much as i have seen f2 lindblad and dünne are the most aggressive ones

[willow haven]

idk with kimi i feel like toto was gambling hard with that

[distant crypt]

wish they put dunne in some team for the next season

[willow haven]

if it doesn't work out i feel like they're going to kick him (hopefully not)

[distant crypt]

don’t know mate i think merc has had a lot of reliability issues themselves

fastest engine but fastest to fuck up too

[willow haven]

true, hopefully they sort out everything with 2026 because that engine kept failing at the worst times

but some of it was def on kimi too

[distant crypt]

and also verstappen himself had a very turbulent season during his first season and i think kimi has a europe curse

[willow haven]

for me i feel like max was still doing decent in his rookie season despite the mistakes

but when you rush a young talent into f1 its not always going to work out

[distant crypt]

i mean he built up high expectations before the europe tour but the other rookies who are in WAYYY shit cars just kept on proving themselves in the europe session

[willow haven]

im guessing toto got scared that he'll miss out on another verstappen and got kimi in as fast as he could

[distant crypt]

like ollie and hadjar

[willow haven]

can't forget gabi too

doing wonders with nico in the kick

[wet sequoia]

Most of the F1 drivers on the grid has had development over the last few years

[distant crypt]

but honestly i think it’s better because then that’s actual development

[wet sequoia]

So they weren’t complete strangers jumping in

[distant crypt]

that’s why i was pissed they got both quite old drivers in cadillac

[wet sequoia]

There are major adjustments and more buttons they’re required to use but they do quite a lot of FP1 and testing

[distant crypt]

i think the experienced plus rookie combo works the best

[willow haven]

absolutely

[willow haven]

fr

[distant crypt]

ocon especially glad he escaped alpine when he could

can’t say that about gasly bro is wringing every bit out of that tractor

[lavish ore]

cadillac got the absolute best lineup they could've asked for

[willow haven]

but all im going to say is to let them complete a full season from f4 to f1

[wet sequoia]

Less escaped and more Alpine didn’t want him anymore

[lavish ore]

a new team has no use for a rookie that doesn't know how to race

[willow haven]

why did gasly extend his contract 😭

bro is TRAPPED

[distant crypt]

i don’t think he has another opening too because teams are now betting more on younger drivers

that’s why i think carlos didn’t get the mercedes seat too

[willow haven]

that makes sense, bro im praying that alpine becomes good next year

we can actually see how gasly performs

[lavish ore]

gasly wouldn't have extended if he didn't see something in the team's future

[distant crypt]

dawg but i need colapinto TO GO

poor jack at least bro reached the top 16

baku has a very low tire deg

theres a real chance for redbull

Also the corners aren't quick corners like Monza

Ehhh with the castle section I'm 50/50

They have a better chance in Vegas or Interlagos

[supple condor]

I hope we get another „I am stupid“

[haughty marten]

I hope Abu Dhabi

I want it to go down to the wire

[regal needle]

Hmmm... I think COTA

It's probably where Oscar can claim it

[haughty marten]

I hope Oscar seals it, but Lando isn't a scrub. He'll fight back

And Max...well he's not really in contention but he could make things interesting

[regal needle]

Max definitely planning to get more podium for Laurent second win as Team Principal of Red Bull

Last week was a blast for Laurent though

[haughty marten]

Max's best bet is Vegas

Maybe Interlagos since he's good there

[regal needle]

Let see what Red Bull got later

[haughty marten]

Baku I'm 50/50 because he'll like the straights but hate the corners and the castle section

And usually Max isn't good in Baku

Singapore, COTA, maybe Mexico, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi will be McLaren

Unless George and Ferrari can pull their heads outta their asses

[arctic brook]

i feel amazing for this race cuz im from baku

[sudden bough]

Qatar

would be very underwhelming to have a Qatar title decider but

it seems likely

although AD is also very likely

[sudden bough]

I mean
doesn’t mean they rnt banger races

[south heron]

true

[sudden bough]

2017 baku is the definition of chaos

could have been a force india 1-2 😭

[sudden bough]

it sorta depends on how much chaos there is

[south heron]

yeah that too

still it's a track that depends on chaos to be interesting

[sudden bough]

Like 2021 and 2017 were 2 crazy races

“down the inside goes daniel ricciardo”

[south heron]

2021 was helped a lot by Stroll and Max's tyre failures

[sudden bough]

the exploding tyres basically caused the messed up running order in the end

ex: the Lewis lockup wouldn’t have happened w no red flag

[south heron]

yeah

but then Max would've most likely won as that would've required his tyre not puncturing

so yeah some chaos was needed

[sudden bough]

it gave us one of the best podium lineups of the last decade

so i aint complaining lol

[lilac nova]

Williams podium this weekend.

[south heron]

same tbh

same for me with the 2017 race

[sudden bough]

danny ric was on something in that race

[south heron]

sure was

too bad the following year it was Max that was on something

[sudden bough]

williams will be as good as they were in 2017 this year frfrfr

just remove the massa mechanical dnf bit

[south heron]

as long as Albon does good I'm happy

don't care for Williams otherwise

[sudden bough]

it would be funny if albon actually holds on to p7 in the standings

[south heron]

I love Albon but man I hope Antonelli gets a good run going to end the year

ik it's just a learning year but it would be nice if he could lock in

[sudden bough]

i think i fucked up

[sudden bough]

we need an antonelli sprint win

i know thats rlly random

but it would be funny

[south heron]

😭

would be especially sad if that's the best result he ends up getting

[sudden bough]

i mean

oscar had a sprint win in 2023

[south heron]

true

still doesn't count though

[sudden bough]

oscar's first "win": a sprint
oscar's first actual win: spoiled by team orders
oscar's second win:

[south heron]

yea that was an absolute masterclass

beat him at one of his seemingly best tracks too and during a year when Ferrari was actually good

[snow swan]

Piastri + Leclerc Drifting = Absolute Clean

[sudden bough]

its very leclerc of leclerc to have his 2nd best track be one where hes never won

monaco is his best for obvious reasons

[rugged valve]

nah guys tell mee, if i just had a verstappen Hamilton moment with this guy, who's at fault here?

[sudden bough]

if there was a crash it woulda prob been on the guy in front

but the divebomb through copse is a bit overly agressive

[south heron]

at least he's a winner there now

[sudden bough]

ferrari will get a win this year trust

the only place i can see a ferrari win is COTA

[south heron]

I fucking hope so

[sudden bough]

perhaps mexico

[wise talon]

anywhere the track temps r low merc will pretty much do rlly well maybe win, rb seems to have a great low downforce setup (monza), mclaren seems to be dominating a bunch of other tracks (i cant rlly find a pattern for mcl dominance) so im not sure where ferrari has a good chance

rb will be good at qatar

WAIT WHAT ARE YOUR PODIUM PREDICTIONS GUYS?!

[quaint orchid]

P1 Norris, P2 Verstappen, P3 Piastri

[hollow gulch]

p1 stroll 😎

[quaint orchid]

Norris has been the faster man lately and I think Max has been fastest on low downforce tracks so he might run that kind of set up to take advantage of the long straight before t1

[haughty marten]

Tbh they only care about money.

And Azerbaijan isn't the only one where politics can be an issue tbh

Qatar, China, USA, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, and Hungary come to mind

With MBS in charge I'm sadly not surprised

[haughty marten]

I'm not too optimistic on Max ngl.

Tire deg and the castle section will be tough

And the corners aren't quick corners like Monza and Suzuka

I think he could get a Podium, but it'll be tough especially if his tires start crying for help.

If there's someone the McLarens should worry about:
It's Charles

Dude is good in Baku

[haughty marten]

McLaren are good in

1. Heavy Degredation
2. Corners

Imo Red Bull's set up is very NASCAR-esque

Good at straights and fast corners. Bad everywhere else.

They do well in Suzuka, Jeddah, Silverstone, and Monza

But everything else is bad for them

[real heath]

guys i think the cars are gonna go really fast on the track

[haughty marten]

Mercedes need it to be cold because I think they have a heat issue

[real heath]

thats my prediction

[haughty marten]

How fast tho

[spark ermine]

Absolutely true. I only bring up Azerbaijan because they're 1, the next race ahead and 2, most of the other countries you mentioned would barely be affected by a removal of the race. You're right about the money, Azerbaijan pays f1 like 57 million in order to host the race and in return they make 500 million off of it

[real heath]

very

[haughty marten]

I understand

And sadly I'm not surprised

Remember the South African Grand Prix?

James Hunt was pissed about it

Because they raced during freaking Apartheid

It's all about money with F1

I mean the 1994 monza was a big example of that

And honestly you're right on the 2nd point

China, the US, Singapore, and Qatar already have enough moolah so they probably wouldn't care.

[haughty marten]

The only time F1 did right recently was when they cancelled the Russian GP

And when they told Mazepin to fuck off

[simple rune]

They did a very strange policy regulation before that race, they didnt allowed the automatic gear anymore which it was sus

[spark ermine]

Exactly, Azerbaijan would actually take a significant tourism hit if f1 backed out of baku.

[simple rune]

I agree

[spark ermine]

Glad we're on the same page now

[simple rune]

What can you in azerbaijan besides the race

[stiff bough]

only because of the fact sanctions were put on russia

[haughty marten]

It's only been individuals who have been advocating for causes

E.g. Hamilton and Vettel

[haughty marten]

Which makes it even more embarrassing

They only did it because of that

[stiff bough]

yeah cuz why should they care

[haughty marten]

They only care bout $$$$

[stiff bough]

they're a business

[spark ermine]

Honestly I applaud them for using their platform to try and spread advocacy

[stiff bough]

and when sochi suddenly couldnt pay their hosting fees from those sanctions

then you get rid of them

[haughty marten]

I know Hamilton and Vettel are secure enough in their achievements and fame, so that's why they're speaking out without fear of repercussions

But I wish other drivers would follow suit

[spark ermine]

Agreed

[haughty marten]

Norris talks about Mental Health so he should definitely start advocating for it

[simple rune]

Ngl the russian go aint that bad to drive in

I testes it out on f1 21

[haughty marten]

Hulkenberg and Piastri supported Ralf Schumacher after he came out

[simple rune]

It was really good

[haughty marten]

I have hope that when the likes of Norris, Russell, Leclerc, Piastri, Verstappen etc get older and more secure with their spot in F1, they start speaking out more

Not optimistic about Verstappen tho since he really only cares about racing

But I can see Norris and Piastri advocating for smth once they're older

[simple rune]

Smart move ngl

[haughty marten]

It's easy to forget tho that a lot of these guys are rich dudes

Norris, Piastri, Bearman, and Albon came from LOADED families

Verstappen's dad was an F1 driver

And don't even get me started on Mr. Strulovitch

[simple rune]

Hamilton tho

[haughty marten]

Verstappen is very Raikkonen-esque in that he only gives a shit about the fast cars

Not the PR or the other events

[haughty marten]

Hamilton is the exception

He, Alonso, Lawson, and Ocon are the exception

And before them Vettel, Raikkonen, and the Schumacher brothers

Racing is fucking expensive

[simple rune]

I was trying to remember that driver that lived in a van so he could race

[haughty marten]

I think that was Ocon

[simple rune]

Oh most def

[simple rune]

Possibly

[real heath]

yes

[haughty marten]

Honestly

I just realized smth

Norris hating fish and being scared shitless of bugs makes sense because his dad was a billionaire so he grew up spoiled

It's funny because Piastri also grew up rich but he doesn't have the same spoiled vibe Lando does

Same with Bearman and Sainz

And Verstappen

But I could be yapping

[simple rune]

Norris hates fish while work for mclaren which has a lake in the tech center

[haughty marten]

He probably avoids the lake

https://youtube.com/shorts/hWqpH91QeLk?si=9b3-DP37bhRKqMId

It's fucking hilarious

[quaint orchid]

Why is baku so hard on tyres? Temperature? Corners?

[fossil aurora]

Du du du u

[idle ocean]

Baku is tough on tyres because long straights cool them but sharp corners and heat wear them fast

[haughty marten]

Sharp corners
Heat
That castle section

Also some teams take the risk with a low-downforce setup because of the straights

Which fucks up the tires

[haughty marten]

Ok this looks sus lol

I know it's Max sleeping but it looks like he's doing...smth else

[snow swan]

Well piastri’s aussie lol

We dgaf about silly bugs

[haughty marten]

Good point

George Russell will miss tomorrow's action on track https://x.com/MercedesAMGF1/status/1968579124806488544?t=P5coB42bYlr6nJ9_nPyRpg&s=19

el sondito intensifies

[near ibex]

Pastry

[haughty marten]

Better than Tanner Scott and Blake Treinen

Hell, I'd pick Checo over the entire Rockies roster

[woven rapids]

Welcome to the Baku City circuit...
90° left, 90° left, 90° left, 90° right, 90° left, 90° right

[haughty marten]

Red Bull are fucked

Unless Max does Max things

The RB21 is SHIT in corners

[woven rapids]

you also have the longest straight in the calendar

*longest flat-out section

[haughty marten]

Straights won't make up for the castle section and the high deg

Max will need to be perfect

And hope for some McLaren mistakes

If there's one driver who will thrive there tho?

It's CHARLES

[woven rapids]

he will get a pole, but not win

he got pole in the last 4 races in baku

[haughty marten]

Yeah with Oscar, Lando, and Max on his tail...

He's fucked

[woven rapids]

the plank will haunt him again

[haughty marten]

Yep

Imagine if through all the chaos

Alex wins

Everyone is so focused on McLaren and Max that Alex just sneaks in and wins the entire damn thing

[woven rapids]

i would love a williams win tho

[haughty marten]

Yeah I'm hoping they get a W

They're likeable

Part of me wants Williams and Ferrari to be good so that the traditional Big 3 (McLaren, Ferrari, Williams) would be great again

[woven rapids]

i would like everyone to be great.
then we'd have some really competitive racing
