[lost sphinx]

and sauber is getting also p9s quite often

[cursive harness]

They seem to be track workers. So they should know not to step on a hot track. Dangerously negligent

[snow swan]

Also shout out to today's DotD...

Virtual Safety Car LeJames.

[quick anchor]

so mclarens are fast again

[latent folio]

[elder cosmos]

It’s not just about the point though, we’re talking about consistency here

[latent folio]

[cursive harness]

Not saying those guys need fired but they definitely need to be scolded at the very least

[snow swan]

When Alonso isn't retiring*

[lost sphinx]

Consistently getting good results

I repeat

[quick anchor]

now sao paulo is gonna be interesting want piastri comeback fr

[placid bone]

Hello

[snow swan]

I just wanna know what they were up to clearing something off the track or yeah idk just random to be running when f1 cars are going around at 300+

[snow swan]

No Max win (delusional)

[sudden bough]

holy shi

[placid bone]

Where are the roles paid?

[quick anchor]

if piastri also improves then there's a fair chance of hamilton alonso 2007 happening again yk

[sonic scaffold]

How wasn’t this a penalty bro wtf

[sonic scaffold]

Didn’t even lock up or nothing

[quiet orchid]

maxs mowing lawn

[cursive harness]

Yeah that's just weird. There should've been a yellow or red flag

[snow swan]

max landscaping co.

[sonic scaffold]

What lap did that happen

[lost sphinx]

This car control is wild

[cursive harness]

Lucky to not get hit there. The drivers are totally locked in. They're not gonna expect pedestrians

[snow swan]

no

[snow swan]

Lap 4

[sonic scaffold]

Why the hell were there people on track

[lost sphinx]

Do you guys have photos of lando celebration?

or videos

[quiet orchid]

no

[snow swan]

That’s what I’m trying to findout aha I only saw thw onboard after the race

[quiet orchid]

i think mclaren should let oscar have the cota sprint strategy 🙏🙏

[south pulsar]

Sog Goog Mexico gp update

[sick turtle]

THE LANDO NORRIS SUPREMACY PERSON IS A BAITER DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THEM YALL

[surreal delta]

Dude Lewis had everything in his hands and he misses out cuz he didn’t gave the place back to max✌🏾

[sick turtle]

i forget how people in servers take bait so easily

[icy dune]

I am so glad I was sleeping ever sound

Lando will bottle at least 3 more races😂

I’m not even worried

[stray pecan]

[covert meteor]

36 points gap between max and Lando and 35 points gap between max and Oscar

[lost sphinx]

max is getting closer though

I would get worried if I was you

[icy dune]

Why, about Max winning the WDC?

[lost sphinx]

about piastri getting p5 p5 p4 dnf p4 last 5 races while teammate has gotten podium in 4/5 races and the other opponent 5/5 podiums

[icy dune]

I’m sorry to disappoint you fam, but I am the one who wants Max to get his 5th WDC so bad, Lando fans starting to jump me 😂

[lost sphinx]

pretty concerning having 0/5 podiums last 5 races

or one

1/5 podiums

[calm pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/guy-arguing-guy-talking-to-wall-talking-brick-wall-gif-18667615

[lost sphinx]

with the fastest car he can't finish above of a haas

[icy dune]

As long as it’s not Lando

I’m even fine with George, which is unlikely of course

[stray pecan]

Gonna be lando now because you said that

[lost sphinx]

when lando didn't have good qualifying sessions he always recovered to at least p4

[little patrol]

was this the most unnecessary VSC of all time???

[icy dune]

Ah, I did say that and it happened huh

[calm pawn]

Probably

There was no danger in track

[lost sphinx]

all g, it just doesn't look good for piastri

[little patrol]

completely killed max and oscar’s chance of overtaking

[stray pecan]

Safety car for marshals on the track? Nah. Safety car for Carlos being clear? Yeah.

[long axle]

bro I'm w/u 🤝

[lost sphinx]

Brazil will determine if max is still in the fight

[maiden ice]

why are some of them cardboard cutouts 😭

[little patrol]

i’d rather have a max WDC than a lando WDC respectfully

[lost sphinx]

if he can win both spront and race it's at least 8 points shortcut

[stray pecan]

Ollie had been charging his battery and was about to deploy it just as VSC hit so it might not have happened

[maiden ice]

wait never mind i see it now 😭

[stray pecan]

But yeah. Vsc ruined two good battles. Especially Charles and max 😔

[rotund plume]

crazy how lewis hamilton got the yellow flag in lap 6

[icy dune]

I’m aware, I believe after that lap1 wall crash, dnf, there has been something bugging Oscar ever since, I am worried about 2026 if Oscar fails to show any improvement starting just next race, Lando could be p2 in WDC at Abu Dhabi

[lost sphinx]

p1 you mean

[icy dune]

We are talking about Sao Paulo, the Sao Paulo

[lost sphinx]

if lando isn't p1 in abu Dhabi something rare happened

[icy dune]

Nope, I believe Max will be P1 lmao

[lost sphinx]

not before abu dhabi

[icy dune]

That’s why I said Lando will bottle at least 3 races

[stray pecan]

Oscar tends to fall off around this time. The coming courses aren't his strong suit. Lando has found pace and closed the gap. Max... is Max.

[lost sphinx]

he would have to dnf and max win every race to be first by abu dhabi

which is unlikely

[stray pecan]

Depends on the car with max lol

[lost sphinx]

unless his teammate crashes him like he did other times

[icy dune]

It is, Lando, you see

[lost sphinx]

if it was piastri it could be possible

but norris nah, he's consistent as fuck

16/20 podiums I repeat

[icy dune]

But yeah, I agree, Lando fights way too clean for accidents to commonly occur, it has to be someone crashing into him

[lost sphinx]

only suicidal driver from the top is piastri

[stray pecan]

Better to finish than not finish at all I guess

[icy dune]

Exactly what I’m getting at

[icy dune]

dunno how he does it, it’s always the other end of the season

[sonic scaffold]

This race was so sus

[icy dune]

Has to give Lando the credit

[lost sphinx]

verstappen only crashes if he's not retiring / not getting enough big penalty / sacrificing for 0 points difference when having to minimize loss of points, russell only races hard into verstappen😭, leclerc is clean

[stray pecan]

Takes him a bit to figure out the car i guess. Once he's does he's gone, as we saw today lol

[icy dune]

Bro I just woke up and saw Ollie p4, I had to rub my eyes, I thought it was Hamilton at first 😂

[sudden bough]

second year running

[rough delta]

My throat hurts from the screaming when watching the race lmao

[lost sphinx]

wdym

[sudden bough]

he also finished behind a haas in 2024

[icy dune]

I’m just waiting for Beyond the Apex edit on Ollie

[lost sphinx]

oh💀💀

[sudden bough]

also

[sonic scaffold]

Yeah good job to Ollie fr

[sudden bough]

better yet it was magnussen, not even hulkenberg

[lost sphinx]

Can't wait for brazil

[stray pecan]

Great start from lando. Max just wanted to cut the grass

[lost sphinx]

car control is insane

[royal fox]

verstappen 24/7 mowing services

[cursive bronze]

Had nowhere to go lmao

[lost sphinx]

The save is insane

[cursive bronze]

Yeah i didnt expect him to hold ts on the grass when going 200 kmph😭

[stray pecan]

So much happened in the first lap I didn't know what to pay attention to

[grizzled summit]

Poor max.

[supple flower]

guys wth happened to the redbull…

i thought +4 upgrades was supposed to make it better

[stray pecan]

Always a gamble with upgrades. Could work. Might not

Grip seemed to be the main issue

[supple flower]

yeah

He lowkey did amazing on the mediums at the start

[sudden bough]

he cut multiple corners

[stray pecan]

His stint at the end had me at the edge of my seat. Leclerc heard boss music

[sudden bough]

and did some open lobby moves

BUT

his pace was insane

idk how he managed the softs to the end like that

[lost sphinx]

He mantained the same pace for like 30 laps

[stray pecan]

Just Max being Max 😭 league of his own

[mossy grail]

Is 5th title still dreamable?

[lost sphinx]

For sure, he cut 4 points more now it's 36

[stray pecan]

Resurgence of Mad Max at the beginning though and I loved to see it

[lost sphinx]

36 points if Brazil and las Vegas go well it's there

but yeah

if Brazil is norris domination again then it's probably over

[mossy grail]

Yea

Hope he gets a good car

[stray pecan]

Rain possible in Brazil? 👀

[mossy grail]

I guess not

[lost sphinx]

always possible but lando is fast anywhere

[stray pecan]

Though lando is also pretty good in the rain

[lost sphinx]

he won't make the same mistakes as 2024

[ruby badger]

Max be doing anything to keep Hamilton behind

[lost sphinx]

obviously

only driver who would fold in rain is piastri

[mossy grail]

Yea his car is 5 times faster now

[ruby badger]

Yeah I think so he'd fold

[lost sphinx]

as we seen other times like in silverstone not knowing how to start safety car or Australia not knowing how to turn

[stray pecan]

Yeah. Rain would not be a good thing for oscar

Time to check the predicted forecast lol

[tender ibex]

Aight, did not expect Verstappen to podium today

Also what was that VSC 😭

[stray pecan]

Rain

[tender ibex]

Are you deadass

[stray pecan]

Could change obv as it's 12 days but yeah.

80%

[tender ibex]

How much

[stray pecan]

1-3 mm

[celest robin]

Max podium?

[tender ibex]

oh

That’s like

[celest robin]

I just woke up

[tender ibex]

Nothing

[tender ibex]

3rd

Very close to 2nd

[celest robin]

What I missed

[tender ibex]

Probably should have been second

VSC on the last lap

[carmine atlas]

I missed the race but wtf happened that Hamilton went from p3 to p8?

[stray pecan]

Fri and Sat is like ~20mm 😭

[icy dune]

Ollie p4

[celest robin]

Ollie?

[tender ibex]

Norris cooked this race

[icy dune]

I sound like a troll

[celest robin]

Wow

[tender ibex]

Definitely his best result in a while

Arguably the best result of his career

[celest robin]

How’s Norris

[tender ibex]

Like I said

Arguably the best result of his career

[lost sphinx]

p1 30sec from p1 50sec from his mate

kinda humilliating

led every lap

[tender ibex]

Mhm

[lost sphinx]

every second

[celest robin]

Dang

[faint ibex]

nah

[tender ibex]

I don’t think he got the grand slam though

[faint ibex]

it the start

[lost sphinx]

not fast lap

because he didn't put softs

[tender ibex]

Yeah

[rotund plume]

fr he was locked in from pole lap

[celest robin]

How’s lecerc

[lost sphinx]

leclerc p2

[tender ibex]

Good but he got lucky

[celest robin]

Let’s go

[lost sphinx]

solid race

[tender ibex]

VSC realistically saved his ass 😭

[celest robin]

Lewis

[tender ibex]

uh

Lemme hold your hand

[lost sphinx]

idk if max would have overtajen

in 1 lap

[tender ibex]

It’s always if if if

As they say

[lost sphinx]

exactly

[tender ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-if-my-mum-had-balls-red-bull-formula-1-f1-gif-3874787363856594938

[faint ibex]

penalty

[lost sphinx]

at the end, max didn't

[tender ibex]

That being said

[lost sphinx]

so that's what matters

[tender ibex]

Given the tyre delta

And the main straight

[lost sphinx]

one thing is tyre delta and the other is overtaking

piastri needed like 15 laps to overtake russell

I know piastri sucks but still

[tender ibex]

Difference was

[lost sphinx]

ovettaking in 1 lap is big

[tender ibex]

You also had Antonelli in the mix

[faint ibex]

Guys who's winning the WDC then 😭

[tender ibex]

And Verstappen was significantly faster

Again it’s always going to be a hypothetical

[lost sphinx]

Piastri had a 1sec faster car

and took him 15 laps

don't ask me how or why

[tender ibex]

Dirty air + Antonelli like I said

[celest robin]

Who would honestly win young Fernando or prime Lewis

[rotund plume]

but why did he let another driver to overtakes him

[lost sphinx]

Dirty air, everyone has dirty air when overtakint

and antonelli was behind the second tine

which took him still 5-6 laps to ovetake

[tender ibex]

?

[tender ibex]

Fair,

Again it’s always going to be hypothetical

I think Verstappen would have probably gotten the overtake with the slipstream but you never really know

[lost sphinx]

Only hypothetical thing is to say he would have finished p2 w no vsc

bcuz he finished p3

[rotund plume]

i tho max verstappen gonna win cuz of his consistency but

[tender ibex]

Idk

[rotund plume]

why norris but not max

[tender ibex]

?

[stray pecan]

Huh?

[tender ibex]

Hold on im not following what your trying to say

[rotund plume]

why did norris wins the race mexico gp not max

[tender ibex]

In terms of whose going to win the WDC, I’m leaning towards Norris right now

[celest robin]

I mean I bet max will win next race p2 p1 Norris high hopes

[tender ibex]

I think your completely misinterpreting the conversation

[lost sphinx]

bcuz mclaren was significantly faster here

well

mclando

because piastri has to yet be seen

worse than tsunoda

[tender ibex]

The conversation was regarding why Verstappen would have been able to overtake Lclerc

[rotund plume]

sorry im a new fan btw so i really dont know much

[tender ibex]

My point being Verstappen was significantly faster on his softs on the final stint compared to Leclerc

[tender ibex]

Your good

dw

[lost sphinx]

Different track, so faster car might change

[stray pecan]

I think he would have done it but the vsc killed it

[tender ibex]

I would have liked to watch it at least

[stray pecan]

Charles' tires were gone and I have no idea how Max did a 1 stop with softs for the second stint

[tender ibex]

Would have been a crazy result

[lost sphinx]

It was completely possible

[tender ibex]

Max’s second stint was just really good

[lost sphinx]

lando leclerc also did 1 stop

[tender ibex]

I was honestly surprised that

Bearman didn’t go for the one stop

[stray pecan]

I know but he was chasing down Charles. I honestly didn't think the softs would last that long. More surprised with Lando and Charles keeping the mediums as long as they did

[tender ibex]

Also as happy as I am Verstappen got on the podium

[lost sphinx]

better to cover

[tender ibex]

I also would have loved to see a Hass podium

[lost sphinx]

it worked at the end, p4

[stray pecan]

Was hoping for a p3 but alas. Max.

Deserved p3. Hell of a drive.

[neat latch]

It's funny people boo Lando and hate him for winning

[tender ibex]

Frankly today I don’t get it

[neat latch]

I think at this point it's just fuel for him

[stray pecan]

If they boo ya you know youre doing something right.

[tender ibex]

There are times when maybe it’s a bit justified but he had a great drive today

[lost sphinx]

what is the quote

[sudden bough]

probably a combo of him needing to cover off the train of cars behind him, and haas not being the greatest w tyre management

[lost sphinx]

This quote but with formula 1

[stray pecan]

Didn't he say in the press conference it makes him laugh 😭

[tender ibex]

Lmao

[tender ibex]

Yeah

[lost sphinx]

the more better, the more hated you are

[sudden bough]

george russell actually got the fastest lap
even though he finished behind antonelli

[neat latch]

It's better than taking it seriously

[tender ibex]

The George Russel radio was

[stray pecan]

George's radios were great. Need more of that

[neat latch]

Also piastri is missing

[tender ibex]

So entertaining

Lmao

[neat latch]

Wonder where he went

[silent coral]

Yeah he did. I'm being honest in my opinion the best way to handle it

[stray pecan]

To the data screens to figure out why his teammate was so far ahead of him

[tender ibex]

Also the beginning of the race was lowkey so entertaining

💀

[silent coral]

Definitely

[stray pecan]

Literally was standing at the point. The beginning was great. So much happened

[neat latch]

The data screens: 🖕

[tender ibex]

There was also

[silent coral]

I don't understand why Lewis got a penalty but max or Charles not for the same move

[tender ibex]

This beauty:

[lost sphinx]

this is from this gp?

lovely

[sudden bough]

well i didnt take the picture

its just from mclaren official twitter

[lost sphinx]

nice photo

[sudden bough]

but yeah thats from this gp

[tender ibex]

I think it has something to do with Verstappen giving certain positions back

But frankly I’m not

[lost sphinx]

might put as pfp even though it's not gif

[tender ibex]

All that sure

[sudden bough]

the official f1 team accounts always have the best camera shots

[lost sphinx]

Fr

[ivory pawn]

Understeering line 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥

[sudden bough]

the verstappen line

[stray pecan]

Verstappen just going to do the next few races in his jet

[neat latch]

I just noticed this McLaren looks like a Marlboro

[stray pecan]

Car is shit. Use my plane

[tender ibex]

Also man I was really hoping that Yuki would become the “Japanese Minister of Defense”

[calm pawn]

He had a very late pit stop

[ivory pawn]

Gonna give the red Bull car some wiiiiinggggssss

[tender ibex]

Yeah

[neat latch]

Think different

[ivory pawn]

Better if he become the Minister of Offense

[tender ibex]

Lowkey the fact he didn’t

Go into that barrier

Is kinda impressive 💀

[stray pecan]

Verstappen Lawncare. 24/7 service. No penalty guaranteed!

[calm pawn]

When I saw it I thought it was gonna be DNF

[tender ibex]

Like unironically I would have expected the car to slide right into the barrier after that

[stray pecan]

I really thought he was

[tender ibex]

Arguably the best race of the year

Idk

[calm pawn]

Nah Australia was the best for me

[stray pecan]

Was watching that then got confused why leclerc was so far ahead and then suddenly Hamilton is in the grass, Oscar down in 11th for a second. Too much happened

[tender ibex]

There was a lot of action today

[stray pecan]

All the 'under investigation' graphics. Sainz gathering those penalties

[tender ibex]

The only thing that could have made it better was getting rid of the VSC

Idk why it was called in given where Sainz was

He was parked behind the barrier so that just didn’t make that much sense to me

But like objectively a really really good race

[lost sphinx]

was an incredible race

yeah

[tender ibex]

Which I needed after Austin

[stray pecan]

Lawson nearly hit a Marshall and yet no vsc was called for that. Sainz was parked halfway behind the barriers but vsc

[tender ibex]

Yeah, didn’t make all that much sense to me

I think this is just a matter of there needs to be a bit more standardization of race officiating

[stray pecan]

Definitely

[sudden bough]

hasnt literally EVERY driver finished in the top 6 this season except colapinto/doohan

[stray pecan]

Has stroll finished top 6?

[sudden bough]

p6 australia yes

[stray pecan]

Oh damn

[sudden bough]

one of the best midfield seasons ever overall

[tender ibex]

100%

If you did what I did

[sudden bough]

sauber is p9 in constructors
they have 60 points and A PODIUM

[tender ibex]

And ignored McLarens domination

In the beginning of the year

And just focused on the midfield

This seasons actually been fire af

[lost sphinx]

p2-p3-p4 between 10 points

[stray pecan]

Ive been focusing on the midfield more and each race im like DAMN

[tender ibex]

Mhm

Of course now I’m slightly focused on the

WDC

[lost sphinx]

wdc p1 p2 is 1 point

[sudden bough]

yup

[tender ibex]

Mhm

[lost sphinx]

so even in that p1 wcc there's competition

[sudden bough]

max is 36 points back

i think he can catch piastri

not lando tho

[tender ibex]

Still possible but I’m not gonna lie, probably not gonna happen

[snow swan]

Lando in his current form is difficult

30 seconds ahead of everyone

Actually insane

[tender ibex]

Then again according to @stray pecan it’s forecasted to rain in Brazil

[sudden bough]

i think he can get p2 in standings

not p1

what will brazil have in store this year

[snow swan]

Lando isn’t bad at rain it’s just strategy calls for when safety cars come out

If they just match max

[sick bloom]

I just saw the race, sorry for predicting it 😰

[snow swan]

They can stop any crazy stuff coming

[tender ibex]

I hope something as beautiful as last year

And maybe like

[worthy vale]

i cannot wait for this Mcclaren collapse

[tender ibex]

Let’s say a colapinto podium 💀

[snow swan]

But the momentum

[tender ibex]

Idk

[snow swan]

Oscar hasn’t had a podium in forever

[tender ibex]

The alpines are boats

[snow swan]

And the McLaren is so fast

[sudden bough]

since monza

[stray pecan]

In an alpine would be absolutely insane

[sudden bough]

impossible

[tender ibex]

Alpines are the McLarens of the wets

[sudden bough]

lwk

haas podium

[tender ibex]

💀💀💀

[snow swan]

Colapinto is good

Alpine is just so bad

[sudden bough]

another williams podium

[south tulip]

yes

[stray pecan]

We had a whiff today 😔

[south tulip]

no

[sudden bough]

wait no williams drivers in the rain are a bit

uh

crash prone

[snow swan]

Max being behind means he shouldn’t be able to do his terrorist tactics

Cuz if he takes himself and another person out

The third person gains massively

[stray pecan]

He missed the memo today i guess

[snow swan]

Yeah he almost crashed

But he got p3

[stray pecan]

Loved it

[snow swan]

Max things

[hot blade]

guys is max still in the championship battle

[tender ibex]

yes

[fading matrix]

Wait who won?

[tender ibex]

Lando

[snow swan]

If lando doesn’t bottle not really

[brisk harness]

I'm happy for Norris

[hot blade]

HELL YEAH

[fading matrix]

Who's 2nd and 3rd?

[snow swan]

Leclerc max

[stray pecan]

I cant see lando bottling. Idk what he's doing but its working

[tender ibex]

Then again

[mossy hazel]

Lmao just saw the post

[fading matrix]

Thanks mate

[snow swan]

Bro was prime senna today

[tender ibex]

He’s got a reputation

[hot blade]

https://tenor.com/view/druski-rage-angry-annoyed-whatever-gif-5126333390325209476

[tender ibex]

Yall wanna see

[snow swan]

He’s been doing good since engine failure

[tender ibex]

Our race predictions

[snow swan]

Like crushing Oscar

[tender ibex]

From today

[ashen narwhal]

Aye real talk who do we think deserves to win this championship rn?

[tender ibex]

I hosted a watch party

[snow swan]

Lando

[tender ibex]

We were lowkey pretty accurate

[south glen]

Max fans need to accept he's washed, the little Nurburgring joke was a job interview, and Lando would be WDC since Miami in the RB21.

[mossy hazel]

He's only 36 points away in 4 gp

[snow swan]

It being close after engine failure is crazy

[ashen narwhal]

Only correct answer to me

[stray pecan]

Max or Lando

[snow swan]

Maxs crazy stuff he does is just off putting idk

[hot blade]

yeah max is washed but he’s still good for getting 3rd in the championship battle with a tractor

[snow swan]

Like being a lawn mower today

And being rewarded with a podium kinda sucks

[tender ibex]

These were our predictions

[ashen narwhal]

I'd be fine with max winning, just want lando to win it before he can't anymore

[snow swan]

The reason max gained so much is cuz the mclarens were sabotaging each other

With double dnfs

But now they seem to team up against max

[tender ibex]

As you can see predictions were taken very seriously

[snow swan]

Lando was giving Oscar advice for tire choice

[tender ibex]

Was shocked by this to be honest

[snow swan]

I mean it didn’t really matter

[tender ibex]

I was sort of expecting Lando to refuse to give info

[snow swan]

Soft was so obviously correct

[tender ibex]

Would have been sorta funny if he suggested Hards

💀

[snow swan]

“Wets”

[tender ibex]

LOL

[sudden bough]

real lol

he shoulda said that

[tender ibex]

Hards just might be the most useless tyre atm

[stray pecan]

"Just take them off. Rim only"

[snow swan]

I hate that everything’s one stop

[tender ibex]

I mean we got some two stops today

[snow swan]

It being two to three stop and one stop winning in a blue moon w

Was fun

[snow swan]

The podium winners were all one stop

[tender ibex]

Yeah

Again still shocked

Max podiumed

I said it yesterday but I expected him to be around 5th or 4th

[snow swan]

Don’t know if he’d get it if they didn’t pit

If everyone stayed out

They probably could have blocked max

From podium

[tender ibex]

Agreed

I was shocked Bearman pitted

[snow swan]

I doubt it’d matter

If max was catching leclerc he could catch bearman

[tender ibex]

True

[snow swan]

It’s the drs train that could stop him

George honestly threw

[tender ibex]

I’m still sad we were robbed of what could have been a 1-2 lap fight between Max and Leclerc by the VSC

[snow swan]

If he accepted not getting podium

And him and Antonelli went for drs train

They could hold off Oscar

[ashen narwhal]

Ollie was getting p4 no matter what happened, even without the vsc too

[tender ibex]

Fair

[snow swan]

I think the same for leclerc

One of the greatest defenders

And max only has one chance

It’d be hard

[tender ibex]

I would have liked to have seen it though

[snow swan]

It’s funny how Oscar doesn’t get clowned on though

[ashen narwhal]

Yeah, it did take a bit of the excitement out of it

[tender ibex]

As a fan it would have made a great end to the race

[snow swan]

If Oscar finished 30 seconds ahead of leclerc while lando was caught on bearman

Can you imagine the shit storm

[tender ibex]

lol

[ashen narwhal]

Yo can you imagine if oscar and lando switched this weekend

[tender ibex]

Oscar had a terrible start

[snow swan]

Went to p11

[tender ibex]

Good recovery drive but man

[snow swan]

P5 in such a dominant car isn’t good

[silent orchid]

Goat fr fr

[snow swan]

We saw how crazy race pace is with lando

[tender ibex]

I know this track isn’t his strongest but his race pace seriously wasn’t there

[silent orchid]

Ye tho

[tender ibex]

Agreed that’s my point

[stray pecan]

Lando was just in another world idk what he was doing lol

[snow swan]

Bro was doing time trials I swear

[silent orchid]

Just chilling in 1st place

[tender ibex]

Clean air + McLaren = Vroom Vroom

[snow swan]

Didn’t know he was in a race

[stray pecan]

Didn't lose the lead once. Not even for pitting 😭

[silent orchid]

😭

[distant iron]

Ollie did great in P4

[silent orchid]

He had 28 seconds lead once

[snow swan]

It was gg when his gap started being more then pit stops

[tender ibex]

I seriously didn’t expect the MC38 to be so good here

[snow swan]

He did the Monaco Strat

[distant iron]

Was Haas close to a podium?

[snow swan]

Yeah

[stray pecan]

Yes

[silent orchid]

Yes

[snow swan]

If nobody pitted bearman would get it

[distant iron]

Maybe next time

[silent orchid]

He got p4 in mid race with haas

[sudden bough]

if max didnt have godly tyre management, it coulda been on

[silent orchid]

That was amazing

[ashen narwhal]

Sadge Apline

[silent orchid]

Tbh

[tender ibex]

Yeah

[snow swan]

Don’t think it was that

[distant iron]

I think Haas will keep going

[snow swan]

The mediums were just so trash

[silent orchid]

Ez win for papaya army

Ez

[sudden bough]

max was just too fast for it to be a proper podium chance, which is a shame

[distant iron]

I want every team to get a podium this year

[tender ibex]

Gotta give Max props for a great second stint as well

[distant iron]

Haas has never ever got a podium

[snow swan]

Maxs lawn mower tactics let him keep places in a medium

[tender ibex]

Good luck getting alpine anywhere near that podium

[stray pecan]

Shocked that ferarri is p2 in the constructors considering their performance this year

[silent orchid]

Hulkenburg exists

[snow swan]

Normally the risk of a medium is you lose track position at the beginning

[distant iron]

He already got one

[snow swan]

But when you just go off the road

You can renter at your original place

Kinda dumb

[silent orchid]

He has 0 podium?

[snow swan]

Like he abuses having no intention of making corners

[stray pecan]

Hulkenberg got a podium this year

[snow swan]

Silver stone

[silent orchid]

Cool

[snow swan]

Can Oscar drive well in dirty air

Feels like he’s exceptionally fast in clean air

But kinda mid in dirty air

While lando is more well rounded

[tender ibex]

Also not gonna lie — today made me realize I have

Zero clue how some of the rules work

💀

[snow swan]

Don’t worry neither do the stewards

[tender ibex]

Lmao

[snow swan]

“We went motor racing Toto”

[tender ibex]

Glad to know we’re all on the same page

Hoping Brazil is also this interesting

Need more races like this

[snow swan]

Max would probably get way more hate if he wasn’t as good as he is

It’d be funny if him ramming into Russell

Makes him lose the WC

That was unhinged

[tender ibex]

Oh yeah

That was crazy💀

You could also probably attribute it to

His crash with Antonelli in Austria

Though

[snow swan]

One was an accident

The other was self inflected

[stray pecan]

Bet Oscar is really regretting that position swap in Monza now though

[frigid hill]

verstappen gotta win

[snow swan]

Completely unnecessary

[stray pecan]

And the baku dnf.

[snow swan]

How mad can Oscar be

[twin geode]

I see a lot of people in #rate-the-gp giving this race a 5, for what reason? I think the race was boring, Norris was never challenged and it ended with a squib

[snow swan]

Did you watch turn 1

[stray pecan]

Mid field battles.

[snow swan]

Lawn mower racing was peak

[sudden condor]

was very fun to watch

[tender ibex]

Sometimes it’s not about who’s in 1st

In fact a lot of times it’s not about who’s in 1st

[snow swan]

Everyone kinda knew lando would win

[stray pecan]

Ignoring lando all together as he was just chilling where he was, it was an interesting race

[tender ibex]

The last time I’d argue it was about who’s in first was 2021

[snow swan]

So it was more interesting to see how much damage control there was

[tender ibex]

That’s like the only time I was SOLEY invested in what was going on between P1 and P2

[cyan arch]

why am i seeing people blaming croft for hamilton’s 10s

[snow swan]

I wonder if Oscar is gonna get a mental hit from this

Favored track or not

Just pure dominance from your own teammate

[tender ibex]

Yeah I’m not sure, both in quali and the race though

Can’t be good for his

Confidence

[snow swan]

6/10 on quali

Was insane

[tender ibex]

Mhm

[sudden condor]

I really hope not, I hope he can bounce back, he does have potential

[tender ibex]

As a side note

Maybe someone can

[stray pecan]

Its gotta be a hit when your teammate is 30 seconds ahead of P2 while youre stuck behind a haas

[tender ibex]

Explain this to me

[snow swan]

If lando can keep T1 with this cluster fuck he probably won’t bottle

[tender ibex]

Verstappens car was definitely better today compared to yesterday

I think we can all agree on that

[snow swan]

Changed setting

[stray pecan]

I think they changed settings?

[snow swan]

He was easily the second fastest team

[snow swan]

They said they did a middle ground

Of race pace and qualifying session

[tender ibex]

Gotcha

[stray pecan]

Ah okay

[tender ibex]

Man I’m excited for Brazil

[snow swan]

What tracks is Oscar bad at

[stray pecan]

I need another race like today. Even more interesting if the forecast is right

[wise shore]

[snow swan]

Everyone says the last ones he falls off

[tender ibex]

I don’t want to get my hopes up too much

[snow swan]

But which specific ones

[stray pecan]

Basically all the ones coming up except Qatar I think??

I forget

[tender ibex]

He was 8th in Bahrain last year

[snow swan]

If he’s performing like this

He’s cooked

[tender ibex]

Las Vegas he was 10th

[stray pecan]

[tender ibex]

Brazilian he was 14th

[snow swan]

He doesn’t seem good in rain

[tender ibex]

Wait

Hold on

Is this 2024

2023*

Gimme a second

💀

Ah yeah this was 20233

One sec

I knew something was off

Lmao

[stray pecan]

He did a lot better today considering he finished p8 the last two years in Mexico but if he wants to get the wdc he needs to be higher than 5th

[tender ibex]

Ok Bahrain he was still 8th

[snow swan]

LMAO

what a setup

[tender ibex]

Brazil he was 8th

Las Vegas he was 7th

[snow swan]

I mean compare the cars though

[stray pecan]

I think theyre pretty much the same except suspension

[tender ibex]

Abu Dahbi he was 10th

[snow swan]

Nah I mean relative to the field

[tender ibex]

And then Quatar he was 3rd

[snow swan]

McLaren today was in another world

[stray pecan]

Oh 😭

[sudden bough]

AD he did get taken out by max tbf

[stray pecan]

Yeah. The car's a lot better this year

[snow swan]

He was literally stuck behind Antonelli

[gentle heath]

wait its not raining this time in sao paolo, but it might rain during sprint

[sudden bough]

but after that he didnt work his way back through the field

[sudden bough]

nothings confirmed really

its still too far out

[gentle heath]

weather is somewhat accurate within 14 days

[tender ibex]

I’m gonna try to not get my hopes up for São Paulo

[stray pecan]

The app i use said its about an 80% precip Sunday but that could change obviously

[tender ibex]

It’s not gonna be as good as last year

Can’t compare it to last year

[stray pecan]

I cant even remember last year

[tender ibex]

Or expect it to be as good

[tender ibex]

Bro how

[stray pecan]

I don't remember half the races last year 😭

[gentle heath]

yeah

[stray pecan]

Wait i remember why I don't remember the Brazilian gp from last year. I didn't watch it lmao

[frigid spear]

Max lost gng

It's all over

[snow swan]

I really want russell to get revenge

it'd be so funny

[frigid spear]

O* ama b* n Russel

[fresh hill]

not yet

we got brazil vegas

qatar is much on the mclaren side

abu dhabi can be of anyone´s

and 2 sprints

[frigid spear]

4 grand prixes left

[frigid spear]

Oh?

[fresh hill]

yes

[frigid spear]

Bro if we see

[sick bloom]

I wanna see how Haas does in Qatar

[fresh hill]

he can still clinch the title

[frigid spear]

Max get the 16 points from the sprint

if we see

[snow swan]

I think we see lando go on pure domination from here on out

[lapis yacht]

yuki is gonna win

trust

[hollow blade]

Hey what's up guys

[tight urchin]

and then u could also assume lando gets 14 so it wouldnt really amount to much lol

[frigid spear]

If Max gets the 16 points and win every grand prix remaining 4×25=100 or 3×25=75 and Lando gets second place everytime 4×18=64 + 14

[snow swan]

thats hard

[frigid spear]

Still Lando wins

[snow swan]

its not a guarantee they even get top 3 qualifying

if anybody could consistently get 2nd place every single race

they'd win

[frigid spear]

I am just guessing cuz they are performing rlly well plus rlly consistent

[gusty plinth]

Tututudu max Verstappen

[snow swan]

max qualified 5th

thats not exactly consistent

[round edge]

brazil being the next race will save the championship tbh

[snow swan]

I honestly keep rewatching Brazil last year.
Max's insane comeback from P17 on the grid to a victory. (He hasn't had one for a while since then in 2024. If I recall his last win before that race was Barcelona 2024.)
Alpine double podium in the most Carbon Fibre Free Car ever. (And second worst technically.)
Lots of drama both in quali and in the race.
One of my fav races that I love watching back. Gives back a few memories for me tbh even though it felt like a year ago already.

[frigid spear]

Well other races he qualifies 3rd or 2nd

Not always

I feel bad for hammy

He missed his podium

[snow swan]

True. Max is a monster around that circuit.
Especially in the rain.

[frigid spear]

Idk abt that

[tight urchin]

norris is also good in the wet but last year was defo an anomaly

[snow swan]

he was panicking

we saw hes finally eased his nerves

[frigid spear]

Dang bro wth is ur tag?

[minor bronze]

Nooo max

[snow swan]

Me too.
He's gone through a tough season already.
No podiums whatsoever.
Always getting heartbreak a lot and screw ups.
(Yes Ik what the others are gonna say and I don't want to hear it.)
Give the guy a break man. He's already gone through enough this year.

[snow swan]

hes getting better though

and new regs next year

[frigid spear]

💔

[snow swan]

ferrari didnt have much of a chance for a baller season this year anyway with mclaren

Im sure hamilton joined cuz they have smth insane cooking for 2026

[frigid spear]

Istg Ferrari must improve next year

[snow swan]

remember when he joined with mercedes

[frigid spear]

Yeah yeah avg ferrari delusionist

[snow swan]

they're second

[frigid spear]

In what?

[snow swan]

WCC

[frigid spear]

Eve. Audi can cook better

[round edge]

max has owned brzail for years, even before having the best car

[snow swan]

Hope they do too though I'm not a Ferrari Fan.
The fans and both drivers have gone through enough already with heartbreak and pain.

[frigid spear]

Tifosi

[round edge]

its tradition, have to keep to tradition

[frigid spear]

Audi produced 240+ Combustion engine

A direct competitor to mercer engine

[tight urchin]

xD

[frigid spear]

As they have claimed

[noble locust]

No race for another two weeks huh

[frigid spear]

Bro in traumatized

[round edge]

where are we expecting redbull next year chat?

[frigid spear]

Yeah it's irritating

[frigid spear]

Last position cuz the engines gotta be shit

[noble locust]

Redbull got good engineers probably top 2

[frigid spear]

I don't think ford can make good engines

[compact gorge]

K

[noble locust]

Didn't ford pull out ?

[round edge]

no

[frigid spear]

They did?

Oh

[round edge]

they did not

[frigid spear]

Man ford

RedBull is cooked

RedBull is gonna be a midfield team now lol

I don't believe in ford

[snow swan]

Tbh even though I don't like Lando now compared to when he joined as I started watching F1 exactly the same year as he debuted in 2019 I feel like the hate on him is just so forced now.
Like he won in Mexico and then the fans just booed him. I don't think that's fair.
(Ik Oscar's the better driver but I felt like he's fallen off a bit tbh and lost his edge since Baku. Either that or Mclaren are tampering with Oscar's car but that's probs quite unlikely.)

[frigid spear]

Bro why did u send that msg again

[snow swan]

Just accidentally deleted it sorry.

[frigid spear]

It's scary when you send these big msgs

[noble locust]

"That's probably unlikely" only time will tell

[frigid spear]

U feel like a an AI bot lol

[frigid spear]

He deserves the hate ngl

[noble locust]

Yea

[snow swan]

???

[noble locust]

Speaks like a rookie after 6 years in f1

[frigid spear]

Lando deserves the haye

[frigid spear]

Hmm

[snow swan]

why does everyone say that

double standards are crazy

[bright imp]

yeah lando definitely deserves it

[snow swan]

people are not sabotaging your own driver

[fickle rover]

Oscar needs to lock in next race

istg

[snow swan]

the lock broke

[noble locust]

Mexico gp was so good

[frozen raptor]

someone broke the lock with a master lock

[noble locust]

Russell vs piastri was the best

[frigid spear]

Obama bin Russel

[noble locust]

Piastri hunted the fuck out of him

[misty anchor]

Fuck fia

[frigid spear]

Bro must have been panicking

[snow swan]

Until the FIA ruined it with a VSC Call which was so unnessesscary.

[frozen raptor]

oh man I gotta rewatch that

[frigid spear]

Why VSC?

[misty anchor]

Stupid shit by fia

[quiet urchin]

FIA can go to hell

[frigid spear]

Idk what's Mohammed Bin Sulaiman doing?

[noble locust]

I mean i didn't want max to overtake lec. Wud have loved pia overtake oliie

[whole flare]

Dude I was so annoyed when we were so close a battle between max and Charles just to be stopped by a vsc 😭

[quiet urchin]

what the hell was that

[misty anchor]

Fr max fucked the hell out of the,

Them

[frigid spear]

True

[quiet urchin]

the upgrades aren't upgrading sht

[noble locust]

He was. He literally said a McLaren was up his arse and wanted to swap position with kimi

[frigid spear]

Bro speaks unfiltered 🔥🔥🔥

[snow swan]

That's Red Bull for you.
(Though their Monza upgrades were very good.)

[frigid spear]

Yeah

[noble locust]

Good redbull upgrades + max = winning car

[quiet urchin]

you know it's bad when Max comments the hell out of it

[frigid spear]

It's so satisfying to watch them panicking

Funni guy russel

[quiet urchin]

ngl Mexico was entertaining

these past GP's are entertaining to watch 😭

[noble locust]

Hamilton was reckless or stupid or whatever u call it shudnt have gone off the track

[frigid spear]

I don't mean liek that but I am getting memes in my head

Can't lie

[frigid spear]

Ye

[quiet urchin]

the memes in insta are going off

Hamilton was just not having it

[snow swan]

Max colliding into him though definetely deserved a penalty.

[noble locust]

Is it ok to send memes here?

[noble locust]

It was Max's corner

He was ahead

Ham was outside

[frigid spear]

Yeah I still don't know why he didn't get da penalty

[quiet urchin]

I think it's best you do it in the meme channel

[frigid spear]

Oh

[noble locust]

Max was so close to lec during vsc

0.3 secs

I was literally panicking

[royal fox]

vsc wasnt needed tbh

[stray pecan]

Nah it wasn't. Sainz was basically behind the barriers

[errant sorrel]

Yeah sold max and piastri

[shrewd grotto]

So why was lewis vs max incident not rulled upon. I smell an FIA mafia

[errant sorrel]

Piastri was a third of a second behind bearman and gaining

[tender ibex]

GP aura farming on the radio

[snow swan]

Last year in Brazil as an example.
God I lost a lot of respect to Lando that day.

[tender ibex]

Casually dropping hard ass quotes

Lmao

[errant sorrel]

I was really enjoying the race until the vsc

[stray pecan]

The 'are we doing a one stop?' 'I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING' had me laughing

[tender ibex]

Lmao same

The radios this race were peak

Verstappens and Russel’s especially

[errant sorrel]

Russel was pissed

Kinda funny when he couldn’t overtake Oscar and was on radio

[tender ibex]

Fr

[stray pecan]

"Easy on the brakes George"

"I HAVE A MCLAREN UP MY ASS"

peak

[rapid horizon]

alonso domination in brazil

[errant sorrel]

Ye

[snow swan]

all of max's road rage went to rusell

[errant sorrel]

Brazil gp
1st Alonso
2nd pastry boi
Everyone else dnf

[rapid horizon]

mmmm

I only agree with the alonso part

[tender ibex]

Did you see my

Race predictions

[rapid horizon]

we also need to see two completely unrelated drivers on the podium

[tender ibex]

Was actually pretty close when you really think about it

[errant sorrel]

I thought sainz would do good

Then 10 sec

And a drive through

[thorn totem]

why did he leave ferrari

[errant sorrel]

They signed Lewis

[rapid horizon]

because ferrari like to do stupid shit

[little drift]

Man that vsc was so bad for max

[errant sorrel]

And pastry boi

[steep furnace]

hoping for brazil rain

[hidden bridge]

Russel suffered a sandwich of doom

💔‼️

[formal forge]

hi guys

[wanton wasp]

Why

[stray pecan]

Rain always makes things interesting lol

[tall storm]

Me too

[royal fox]

i hope wets will actually be used

[tall storm]

I hope

[royal fox]

we need max masterclass again

[tall storm]

i hope

[tall storm]

Hell nah

[old pilot]

just found this while watching the race

[eager dragon]

i saw that but couldnt figure out what it said

[old pilot]

MESSAGE TO LEWIS & CHARLES
IGNORE
THE STRATEGY CALL

[proven yacht]

footage of stroll being alone

its honestly sad how much stroll is alone

[frozen magnet]

Where was Alonso?

[stray pecan]

Wait where was Alonso?

[vernal wadi]

just watched the highlights

man oh man

what a race

AND OFCOURSE

Lando Haters are super quite as of now eh?

What a performance from bearman

and Bortoleto

easily my fav rookies

and what a shame for hamilton

really wanted to see that podium

[west schooner]

Bro lando can get his chain snatched

[vernal wadi]

finally someone said it, the hate is just so forced

[vernal wadi]

as if poor pastry is not bottling the championship

and and please dont say "daddy bear must have sabotaged him" type bullshit

[west schooner]

Wheres landos richard mille?🫠

[vernal wadi]

pardon?

and what a bunch of idiots at mexico were there at the race for booing lando

well people hate a winner

people at the mexican gp when literally anyone other than Checo wins:

[grim anvil]

Just to explain the fans booing Lando after the race, while I'm sure there were some who genuinely don't like him (that's fine who cares), Mexican fans love Red Bull and they'll boo anyone who isn't Checo or Max (by proxy). So it wasn't entirely personal to Lando but he doesn't nor should anyone really care.

[vernal wadi]

thats what I am saying

they will boo anyone who isint checo

tbh why do we even have the mexico gp

that circuit never gave us good races

[grim anvil]

It's a good track, passionate fans too

[vernal wadi]

fans who boo winners for no reason

reminds me of vettel

[grim anvil]

I mean that's just passion at the end of the day. I wouldn't let it affect me.

[vernal wadi]

hey atleast the tifosi at monza applauded max

[grim anvil]

Just like all the hate for Lando, it gets to a point where you just don't give a fuck and just support the driver lol

[vernal wadi]

because game recognizes game instead of booing

[vernal wadi]

yeah i really dgaf, f the haters

[covert cedar]

Good track?

[grim anvil]

Trust me F1 is so much more enjoyable when you ignore the fandom

[rose wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/hamiş-gif-26583158

[covert cedar]

F1twt

[frozen magnet]

That's you tho

[vernal wadi]

yeah track is pretty shite

[grim anvil]

I mean I like it

[hollow ermine]

we know mclaren is nerfing oscar's car but we cant prove it

[vernal wadi]

thats us

[grim anvil]

It's a lot of people

[vernal wadi]

ohh come on not this again

[frozen magnet]

Lewis was happy for once, and it all went down again.

[vernal wadi]

please add a /s at the end of a comment like this

[vernal wadi]

yeah pretty sad

[topaz igloo]

The laps max was pulling out on very used soft tires was insane

[vernal wadi]

but turn 1 was some serious lawnmowing

[topaz igloo]

I have no idea if he was going to overtake Charles, but a real shame the fans didn’t get to see it

[snow swan]

Shouldn't of gotten that penalty 😔

[covert cedar]

Don't you guys think it's odd that the softs last half the race?

[frozen magnet]

True, there was not a single lap where he didn't successively close the gap to Charles.

[vernal wadi]

but the ministry of defence was just too strong for max yesterday

[grim anvil]

I believe they were a C5 soft tire which are mediums on most other tracks

[covert cedar]

Oh, I see

[frozen magnet]

Even if he was to be penalized, it should have simply been "give the position back" to the last car and that's it.

[grim anvil]

That doesn't excuse pirelli from just being so inconsistent

[vernal wadi]

yeah

[wet sequoia]

They’re the standard softs

[vernal wadi]

thats just fia corruption

[vernal wadi]

no they arent

[wet sequoia]

C6 is super softs which I don’t think will happen again

[grim anvil]

Ah, I stand corrected then. Low deg track then I guess

[snow swan]

I agree should of just been a 'illegal overtake' 10 seconds was abit mad

[wet sequoia]

They’ve only used C6 for 3 tracks and the drivers all ended up using mediums (C5) for qualifying

[covert cedar]

Thinner air = less downforce = less tyre wear?

[vernal wadi]

again fia mafia

strikes again

[snow swan]

Let me be the fia🥹

[vernal wadi]

i mean comeon, bigger incidents than this have gone completly unnoticed

[wet sequoia]

C3-C5 are the softest available besides the C6 which has gotten a lot of negative feedback to the point they’re horrible for even qualifying

[vernal wadi]

but whenever its ham

10 sec penalty min

or no just get an SC
