Found out the latest version of database editor allows for custom engines which means I can make the constructors for 2026 make sense

[floral apex]

yeah its pretty cool

[little pivot]

I haven't changed Alpine to Mercedes because I wasn't sure if changing works teams engines could cause issues

[floral apex]

ANT P1, VER P2 after Qatar quali

But it also kinda killed the fun I have in this game

[floral apex]

i mean it was kinda your fault for making a dominant team and not doing anything to make it fun

[red wadi]

So true

[keen brook]

Does ido cohen still scare the shit out of you

[red wadi]

Yes

Ido Cohen has done unrepairable damage

[floral apex]

At least my save is being exciting

We're dominant but Max and Kimi are at each others throats

The points gap with 5 races left is back down to 9

[keen brook]

For whatever reason it's for me not possible that my drivers are close to each other.

[red wadi]

NAH, I kinda just realise how shit my IsrFast save was

[keen brook]

Like even with Nico and Kevin Nico was far ahead of Kevin.

[red wadi]

Okay. Now imma cook something (a CYT save as always)

[floral apex]

I've managed to make Max and Kimi like the most perfect pairing ever

[red wadi]

So I cooked something and I think this could be a fun save

[keen brook]

For 2026 there will be a reg change that the top 3 teams get less and the bottom 5 teams more CFD and wind tunnel time.

Only Ferrari, McLaren and Kick Sauber voted against that.

[raven fern]

Alright i managed PP for Qatar 2024 sprint in F1 23 by .1s , probably won't turn into win because my race pace is kinda bad and tyre degradation goes brrrr in Qatar but i'm hoping for P4 in constructors this year, we are down 22 points to red bull

[red wadi]

Lucas Wellendinger backstory gonna cook frfr

[keen brook]

I just now noticed that is just a setback to how it was in 2024 lol.

As for 2025 the reg change was the other way round.

And both got through.

[red wadi]

I have two options, one makes him the most F1 guy ever, the other makes him seem like some random ahh dude who somehow ended up in F1

[keen brook]

The 2nd option sounds funnier.

[red wadi]

Then we doing the second option 🔥🔥

Gotta keep it short but here we go

LUCAS WELLENDINGER
Lucas Wellendinger was born in the West-German town of Münster in 1982, as a kid he dreamed of playing for Preußen Münster but when he was 9 years old he saw something on TV called “WrestleMania”, he had no idea what it was but it looked cool to him. So when he turned 10 he said that he wanted to become a professional wrestler, and he succeeded in 2000 at the age of 18 when he made his debut on “WWE Monday Night RAW” but an injury in 2002 forced him to stop, in the peak of the Schumacher era Wellendinger decided to study Ferrari’s strategy while recovering from his injury. For many years he forgot about Formula 1 until when he in 2011 moved to South Korea and there was a F1 GP near Seoul. In 2016 he returned for 3 more years at the WWE but decided he wanted to become team manager in F1 and learned trough the “McLaren Academy. On March 19th (his birthday) 2023 he was announced as Samsung Utopolis F1 team manager.

Bro must look so big compared to the drivers lol

[keen brook]

from football player to Wrestler to F1 team principal

what a career path

[red wadi]

My guy went from kicking a ball to throwing people around to sitting on a pit wall, quite the career path indeed

[red wadi]

“So, can we see your resume?”
“It’s a bit complicated but yeah sure”

[floral apex]

If you need a visual
Imagine Dwayne Johnson on an F1 pit wall

[red wadi]

Or John Cena lol

Joe Hendry on a pit wall💀

Would look so goofy

[red wadi]

I’m actually picturing it in my head and it looks so funny😭😭

[floral apex]

just some jacked wrestler guy making strategy calls

[red wadi]

“Okay, slam dunk Norris, I mean overtake Norris”

F1 drivers boutta look skinny compared to this guy

[floral apex]

just seeing that made me think about the most cursed career path
NBA player -> movie star -> european soccer player -> sports commentator -> f1 team principal

[red wadi]

lol

I mean this guy is basically a movie star since WWE is a gateway for Hollywood apparently

I might make that storyline

[floral apex]

Throw in "pet store owner" in here somewhere

championship fight after the 2025 British Grand Prix

[floral apex]

we've been a bit dominant this season

[floral apex]

is it just me or are the ferraris catching piastri

[keen brook]

They are.

Meanwhile Ferrari dominates the constructors.

Because Piastri fights alone against Leclerc and Hamilton as Schumacher is kinda useless.

Schumacher is even slowly making his way to a race ban.

half the races done, half the amount of penalty points for a race ban

As Silverstone is the 12th race of the season.

And then there's Tsunoda who is only 1 penalty away from a race ban.

[floral apex]

2024: Samsung Sunwest Racing
2025: Verizon Sunwest Racing

[floral apex]

so if he keeps it up he'll get a race ban by the end of the season

[keen brook]

yes

And as he just joined the grid in 2025 these are the only 12 races he has done.

Damn, that's half a penalty point per race.

[floral apex]

looks to me like the 2024 installment of the decreasingly-popular F1 Game series

[jagged shoal]

Thanks!

[frozen thunder]

tsk.. the track said it was dry but it was actually still drying so it was rather damp which is why you couldn’t really push even on the straight without spinning so basically whatever i tried to do i could not keep the car controlled on slicks

[floral apex]

this is literally me when i try to drive the f1 game on keybard with traction control off

i like how you smashed the williams and then the sauber immediately after went "get off the track"

[floral apex]

[keen brook]

He's a better choice than McLaren did in my Haas save as Piastri's teammate.

Sargeant has at least a rating around 80.

Schumacher has a like 74 rating.

[red wadi]

Hmmm, time to cook some backstories

[keen brook]

Verstappen spun into the wall and out of SQ2.

Then Doohan spun into the wall and out of the Sprint.

Then Sargeant spun into Iwasa.

Then Sargeant locked up into Verstappen, taking him out of the race, giving Verstappen a rear left puncture and getting a 3 place grid penalty for Hungary.

And then there was an issue with fitting on the front right tire at Zhou's pit stop.

piastri is falling off lol

my championship fight (piastri for reference)

[keen brook]

I think I have a problem.

a serious problem

So I re-installed FIFA 22 because I wanted to play FIFA again after a while, then I started it and my PS4 just shut off.

Restarted it, it's still working but then as I tried again to start the game, there came up this overheat message and it again shut off immediately.

[floral apex]

fifa 22 is draining your console's resources?

[keen brook]

I'm not sure tbh.

If it's just an issue with this game.

[floral apex]

never thought fifa could overclock a PS4

[keen brook]

But I just played F1 Manager 2024 before and it worked fine as always.

[floral apex]

i mean f1 manager doesn't exactly take the same resources as fifa lol

[raven fern]

season 2 of F1 23 career and yet again i'm retiring on Qatar sprint due to mechanical issues

[floral apex]

i think you're cursed in qatar

[raven fern]

AND THROUGH GOES HAMILTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

leave charles alone bro

ik you want to eliminate your future teammate from the championship battle but bro

why is lewis abusing him so much 😭

he's so mean

[raven fern]

probably

i guess i'm going to take the 4th MGU-H as well as a new gearbox since i'm still going to the back cuz parc ferme

[raven fern]

MGU-K*

i think i'm going to switch everything since im going to the back anyway

[keen brook]

I should've just continued with Spa, then everything would've been fine.

[raven fern]

100 place grid penalty coming right away

this seems fine

...

i guess everybody switched some components

[raven fern]

! ! ! SAFETY CAR ! ! !
Bottas crashed into Tsunoda while trying to overtake Piastri
Bottas is out due to damage
Tsunoda is out due to mechanical issue and was driving off the racing line that's why they crashed while overtaking

from P22 i managed P11 so far

but thanks to the safety car, the soft tyres are going to get f-ed, im happy i put on mediums in the beggining

also would've been P10 if i didnt have to give up a position for overtaking off track

alright safety car in this lap (5/29)

[raven fern]

during a race

[rare robin]

"pit lane start" never gets used

so i set 2 of their values to 1

[raven fern]

lando norris wins the 2024 qatar gp in f1 23

i managed P22 to P5

sauber doing sauber stuff

i had to give up the position to zhou

[floral apex]

okay max verstappen

[raven fern]

safety car helped ngl

and the fact that i have the 3rd best car helped as well

and the best engine

[floral apex]

max verstappen could say the same

[raven fern]

and i would've been P6 if stroll didnt pit 1 lap earlier

cuz his tyres were f-ed by that point

he was loosing 1s to me per lap

every lap

without DRS

but at the same time i was loosing .5s every lap to russell who was ahead of him

[rare robin]

why does he want me to pay 7.2 mil for an affiliate

[raven fern]

the affiliate is the FIA boss

perez is retiring after 2024 lmao

this save is sus

lewis won the 2024 british gp

perez is retiring

red bull is washed

they have a worse car than haas and williams lmao

but it's pretty even in the midfield

also forgot that aston marting has a dominating car for like half a season but is 6th in the constructors somehow

fernando is 5th

in WDC

[rare robin]

stroll?

[raven fern]

stroll is 13th

[rare robin]

that explains why

[raven fern]

my teammate is 14th (he scored points 4 times this season)

[raven fern]

dude but it's something with the car, it's not even me playing on the AI that's too low for me (im on 85 cuz 90 is too high for me but i think i'll change it at season end)

like, my teammate managed P16 to P1 in singapore

there were like 4 DNFs there but 1 of them was Gasly and the other one was Sargeant so we dont count those

[red wadi]

Shit forgot to cook the backstories

[floral apex]

i just casually won an f1 world race in the pit lane

[red wadi]

Nice

Okay lads, do you want the backstories today or tomorrow?

[floral apex]

are they ready or do you need time

[red wadi]

Well after some thinking I’m gonna post them tomorrow, too many things that need a bit of changing + I’m tired

But you can expect some top notch backstories

[keen brook]

OK, so my plans with going back to FIFA are cancelled, have immediately deleted the game again.

Have now also completely cleaned the whole thing, reconnected it, everything seems to properly work again.

The PS4 successfully started F1 Manager 2024 without going out.

[floral apex]

"so i want to do fifa again"
your ps4: NO.

either that or your ps4 really doesn't want you to leave F1 Manager

...or your ps4 is so used to F1 Manager at this point that any other game immediately breaks

[keen brook]

I also played GT7 like last week and that also worked.

[floral apex]

Guess even your ps4 has something against EA games

[keen brook]

[floral apex]

I should be finishing my F1 Manager 2028 season but its too exciting for me to prioritize rn lol

Max leads by 8 with 3 races left

if Antonelli wins with FL and Max finishes P2, that'll tie them with 2 races left

[keen brook]

For me there might also be a proper championship fight.

[floral apex]

if Max wins with the usual gap, he increases his lead to 15 points

[keen brook]

In Hungary it was a Ferrari 1-2 with Piastri in 3rd.

[floral apex]

literally my save but its us with a 1-2

[keen brook]

Crucially Leclerc was the winner who is 2nd in the championship.

[floral apex]

80% of the races in my season have had the same podium: Max, Kimi and Oscar

[keen brook]

And Hamilton took further points off Piastri.

In the constructors Ferrari is dominating though.

Well, not really surprising, it's literally a 2 vs 1.

With Schumacher only scoring 32 points in the same car Piastri leads the championship with.

with 293 points

Meanwhile Leclerc has 237 points and Hamilton 217.

[floral apex]

literally perez

[keen brook]

for real

[floral apex]

Sargeant actually got a podium with mclalren in my save lol

Theres only one thing in common between the final triple header irl and the final triple header in my save: Las Vegas

[alpine compass]

@west abyss DMSSSSS

[wicked kelp]

this is a dumb as hell questions but i cant figure it out, im still on f1 2023 ( im replaying it ) but what driver do you replace in the f2 career mode I picked Hitech GP as my team and VIPS is my team mate

[muted kayak]

Updated team performances for the 2024 season, thoughts?

better view

[surreal cobalt]

Haas better than Williams imo the rest seems right

[keen brook]

Haas too low, Aston too high

also Alpine below RB

Haas should be 5th, then RB 6th, Aston 7th, Williams 8th, Alpine 9th.

Unless it's start of the season, then switch Aston and Haas.

so Aston 5th, Haas 7th

Nevermind, Red Bull is 3rd, so it's definitely not start of the season.

[keen brook]

so yeah, then this for the midfield

Top teams and the back marker is accurate.

[keen brook]

Stroll spun into the wall and out of Q1.

And then there was an issue with fitting on the rear right tire at Lawson's pit stop.

mechanical issue for O'Sullivan

And to force the game to give the back and not 2 .

sometimes i forget that you don't have any drivers in F2 and f3 lol

[keen brook]

Yeah, I want to sign the champions but they have already new contracts.

Beganovic and Antonelli both re-newed their contracts already and even both until 2026.

So I can't even get them now without paying their buyout.

And as you can see in the bottom right our budget isn't really great.

I think I'm just a too big opponent of refurbishing to not go broke with the budget.

Aston Martin offered our head of aero a contract.

Well, we signed theirs.

Aston Martin poached our head of aero.

The design center efficiency will be increased by 50% for 45 days.

Jonas moved to Estonia when he was 3 months old because his parents where from Tallin, Estonia but where on vacation in Aachen and had to live there for a while. As a 3 year old he got gifted a 150cc kart by his parents, his dad had put a limiter on the engine so that Jonas wouldn’t crash. After 12 years od struggling to reach the FRECA he finally got signed by PREMA, being the youngest on their roster. In 2022 (at the age of 17) he moved to South Korea in a student swap between Estonia and South Korea, he started working for Samsung. In December 2023 Friis was announced as the main driver for Samsung F1.

[floral apex]

[mortal scarab]

Is F1 2016 a good game to get?

[floral apex]

is that an f2 car or a very small f1 car model

[red wadi]

Hmm, imma cook the backstory for Per

[red wadi]

Bruh

NOOOO

I deleted without copying the text😭

Per Christensen
Per is a Danish F1 driver born in Seoul, South Korea. Christensen’s parents moved to South Korea before Per was even born, but at the age of 10 they moved back to their old house in Copenhagen. Per never really raced cars until he turned 17 when he was a pay driver for PREMA in the FRECA, his teammate? 15 year old Friis. The 2 linked like no other and when Samsung signed Friis everyone knew Christensen would join them as well. With this Christensen becomes one of the only F1 drivers who never got a top 5 finish in a junior class before joining a F1 team, his highest result? P9 during the 2023 Monza GP

Nice got saved by my keyboard

YES CORRECT PIC THIS TIME

[red wadi]

I swear if I cursed him with his backstory imma cry 😭

[floral apex]

hopefully no curses here

I mean the guy's got the same first name as Perez's timing board short form

[red wadi]

Bro’s highest career finish is 9th💀💀

[red wadi]

His parents must’ve been Perez fans smh

[red wadi]

Imagine only being signed because you are a brother figure to the main driver💀💀

[floral apex]

And guess which other rookie also finished 9th in Monza before getting fired half a season later: De Vries

[mortal scarab]

That's the 2026 car model

[red wadi]

Luckily bro didn’t do that in FRECA

[floral apex]

Thr coincidences are just too insane

[red wadi]

Fr💀💀😭

[floral apex]

If they were on the same team the PR team would call their videos "Per and PER"

[red wadi]

Friis surname lowkey do be goofy

[floral apex]

De Friies

[red wadi]

😭

Wait I forgot his first name

[floral apex]

Jonas Friis

[red wadi]

Ah yeah👍

Helps it got mentioned like 3 times

[floral apex]

Its gonna be hard not spelling his name without putting in an e at the end

Friies

Which now that i think about it
Sounds like someone's ordering french fries at a restaurant

[red wadi]

lol

[floral apex]

"Hi i'd like some french friies"

[red wadi]

Wait, I just realised. FRECA is like F4 right?

[floral apex]

European F3

[red wadi]

Ah I see

Christensen still be cooked though, I can already smell the amount of memes

[floral apex]

I'm pretty sure F1 Academy champions were promoted to FRECA at one point

[red wadi]

Ah I see

Wait lemme see if I screenshotted the livery

Only screenshotted this shitty logo I made

[floral apex]

Literal wordmark lol

Would look horrible on the timing board

[red wadi]

I’m tired, what does that mean?

[red wadi]

It 100% will😭😭

The SAMSUNG logo was a pain in the ass and I failed miserably

[floral apex]

A logo consisting only of text

[floral apex]

funny how samsung was my first title sponsor in 2024 lol

[red wadi]

lol

[red wadi]

Ah I see

I might cook a logo for the team tomorrow

Forgot to screenshot my affiliates

https://www.f1manager.com/2024/news/f1r-manager-24-update-19-feature-deep-dive

Reading through it, we can finally install older car parts.

But have to start from the pit lane then.

That's a very nice change.

[lyric scaffold]

oH

Cool change

[keen brook]

Also you can set your drivers on different focuses now.

[lyric scaffold]

How many hours do you have in F1 Manager?

[keen brook]

way too much

As I'm on PS4 I can't see the exact play time.

[lyric scaffold]

I don't play F1 or Manager but I play other manager games, one came out recently and I've already logged 300 hours.

[lyric scaffold]

Ah PS4

Yes, both Esteban and Ollie I signed.

I like how the championship leaders and championship backmarkers are all different

WDC its Piastri and Zhou
WCC its Ferrari and Sauber

[keen brook]

Yeah because Sargeant scored points and Schumacher is well, bad.

[floral apex]

oh and the top 10 is a mclaren sandwich

[keen brook]

For the Aston civil war Tsunoda got a penalty.

And he had already 11 penalty points.

[keen brook]

yes

[floral apex]

Yuki is so unlucky
He won the title with my team and on his return 2 years later he crashes in like 3 races in a row

[keen brook]

damn

[raven fern]

probably one of my best moves

BREAKING NEWS: Yuki Tsunoda receives a race ban for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix. After a crash in the Dutch Grand Prix with his teammate Dennis Hauger he received 2 penalty points, adding his tally to 13 penalty points which results in a race ban for the next Grand Prix. Aston Martin will announce shortly his replacement for the Italian Grand Prix.

championship fight after the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix

hm

Monza is a F2 and F3 race weekend.

So all F2 and F3 drivers aren't available.

OK, this replacement will be a funny one.

It would've been Tim Tramnitz if F2 wouldn't drive in Monza.

And Christian Mansell if F3 wouldn't drive in Monza.

But Aston Martin has 1 affiliate who doesn't drive in F2 or F3.

BREAKING NEWS: Emely de Heus will give her Formula 1 debut in the 2025 Italian Grand Prix after Tsunoda received a race ban. As Formula 2 and Formula 3 will also compete this weekend, Aston Martin needed a driver outside these 2 series who is available. She will drive with the number 7.
(post deleted)

[red wadi]

IsrFast ahh statement lol

[keen brook]

[red wadi]

Hopefully she’ll cook

[keen brook]

Well, as I can't mod it's still Tsunoda's AI.

I just will post the results from FGC instead of in-game replacing Tsunoda with de Heus.

[red wadi]

IsrFast explaining why they signed a 200cc Karting midfielder to drive next to IC1: “he’s the biggest talent ever”

[keen brook]

So she's only 51 rated but will get the results 84 rated Tsunoda delivers.

[red wadi]

She fr is the type of 2nd driver IsrFast would sign 💀

[keen brook]

We ignore she doesn't even have a super license.

[red wadi]

(Yes IsrFast still lives in my head rent free)

[red wadi]

Just receive some illegal payments and pay the FIA lol

[keen brook]

If I wouldn't use her Tramnitz would do F1 and F2 at the same time.

[red wadi]

Damn

[keen brook]

Actually that would be a more realistic scenario than putting a F1 Academy driver into the car for a F1 race weekend.

hm

I honestly forgot the super license part.

[red wadi]

Well uhh, IsrFast once sacked FOUR drivers in one season

[keen brook]

As funny as it would be, I need to change that.

[red wadi]

True

But fr sacking 4 drivers was crazy💀💀

IsrFast fr had 6 drives over 1 season

Meaning a 20 driver championship had a 25 driver WDC list

[keen brook]

BREAKING NEWS: Tim Tramnitz will give his Formula 1 race debut in the 2025 Italian Grand Prix. After several FP1 appearances with Red Bull last year and Aston Martin this year, the AMF1 Driver Development Programme member will take over the seat from Yuki Tsunoda who got banned from the Italian Grand Prix after receiving 2 penalty points in the Dutch Grand Prix, going over the mark of 12 penalty points. He will drive with the number 7. He also will still compete in Formula 2 this weekend.

[floral apex]

i mean you already have an example of an F2 supersub in F1

Ollie Bearman... twice

[surreal cobalt]

Man mclaren is so dominant in My save

[floral apex]

F1 Manager's getting a huge update coming Monday

https://www.f1manager.com/2024/news/f1r-manager-24-update-19-feature-deep-dive

[muted kayak]

It'll definately be interesting to mess with 👀

I was gonna create a "what it could be" season for 2026 but I'll wait until this update i guess

[floral apex]

The updated contract system and pit lane starts sound the most interesting

[red wadi]

Hm, don’t see why it’s so big as everyone is saying

[keen brook]

Pit lane starts and completely overhauled Parc Fermé system alone is huge.

[muted kayak]

pit lane starts actually added
can change driver focus to make the car better or the driver better

[floral apex]

i mean its bigger than whatever updates EA comes up with for their game

[muted kayak]

the driver focus being changeable to the car is massive

[red wadi]

True

[muted kayak]

signing a high rated driver would be worth having them to just focus on the car instead of themself

[keen brook]

That means old affiliates like Gio can actually be useful.

[muted kayak]

if you have the money, literally signing all the top drivers and focusing it towards car

affiliates of the likes of Lewis,Max,Alonso,Leclerc

😭

[keen brook]

[muted kayak]

that would literally be the strategy no?

[keen brook]

That alone is efficient already to eliminate contention.

[muted kayak]

if you can afford it
A) you take good drivers from your rivals
B) you can develop faster

[red wadi]

IsrFast save would’ve been cooked lol

[floral apex]

im interested to see how this will affect my save
The Max vs Kimi rivalry is more heated than ever

[muted kayak]

well ima prepare my 2026 what if career for this

my 2024 revamp is already completed

[floral apex]

We've already claimed our 4th consecutive title
It's now down to whether Max will take his 6th title or if Antonelli can take his first

[muted kayak]

I'm gonna go with the wild (and definately not happening) assumption of Andretti getting accepted finally

so 11 teams on the grid

[red wadi]

Imagine IsrFast with this update 😭😭

[floral apex]

We haven't had a DNF since Belgium 2027 but we still haven't done Vegas

[muted kayak]

the tragic part

is im definately simming 2024 and 2025 for this 2026 what if

its gonna actually be 2026

[red wadi]

I just realised how little I cared about affiliates in my IsrFast save

They would get sacked anyways

[keen brook]

Our last DNF was Spain.

thanks to Tsunoda

[muted kayak]

chat

whats a good driver lineup for 2024

for my team

👀

[red wadi]

I’ll never forget when I sacked 4 lads in 1 season

[keen brook]

Iwasa light damage

[muted kayak]

Team Aero, moving from eSports to F1, is joining the grid for 2024
Backed by Mercedes and given Mick Schumacher for the season, they've also made an agreement with McLaren to give Pato O'Ward a drive.

[rare robin]

i tried doing this 2 days ago (it didn't work)

now they announced it...

[muted kayak]

I love starting a new career with everyone negative about everything

[keen brook]

What's interesting is they also re-work the race replays to add pit lane starts that were there irl.

[muted kayak]

great way to start the season

Mick Schumacher out in Q1 due to crashing.

P18 and P22 to debut my team

[floral apex]

great start

[keen brook]

Another FP1 for Chloe, Barnard replaced Hauger in FP1 at Aston Martin, Colapinto replaced Lawson in FP1 at Kick Sauber and Aron replaced Bottas in FP1 at Kick Sauber.

[floral apex]

i like how you're basically going "so we got one affiliate... send her out every race"

[keen brook]

Well, Ollie had some crashes recently.

3 to be precise.

So for 2 of them Chloe was in his car now.

Technically also Tramnitz replaced Tsunoda but it's actually a nice coincidence the game did that for FP1.

[floral apex]

lol

[muted kayak]

Ignoring how both drivers got knocked out in Q1, amazing recovery to show how good the car actually is
P9 and P12 half way through the race

probably some pit stops to still go but ehhh we ignore that

[floral apex]

verstonelli

just tried to combine verstappen and antonelli but it ended up sounding more like a type of pasta

[keen brook]

Mine would be Bearcon.

[muted kayak]

O'Wacher

😭

[floral apex]

owacher
o washer

[muted kayak]

O'Ward and Schumacher

how would that even mix

[floral apex]

shumaward

hmmm'

[muted kayak]

O'Ward is the lead driver

[floral apex]

oh i didnt even spell schumacher correctly lmao

[keen brook]

1st I wanted to use the start from Esteban's name and the end from Ollie's name which would've been Oman.

That's literally a country name.

[floral apex]

"so who are your drivers?"

🇴🇲

[muted kayak]

PEREZ AND VERSTAPPEN COLLIDE IN BAHRAIN

[keen brook]

[muted kayak]

not Stroll doing a one stop and it working for him 😭

[keen brook]

For my My Team save it would be Beartoleto.

[floral apex]

my driver lineup in 2024/25 was Gasly/Tsunoda (Gasnoda?)
in 2026 it was Verstappen/Tsunoda (Vernoda?)
and since 2027 its Verstappen/Antonelli (Verstonelli?)

[floral apex]

i mean that actually works because its extremely close to Bortoleto

[muted kayak]

2 laps to go

Mick is in the points

[keen brook]

yeah

[muted kayak]

but hes in a train that goes from P7->P12

[keen brook]

Season 1 was Hadoney.

[floral apex]

hadoney just sounds funny

[keen brook]

and season 2 Hadoleto

[muted kayak]

backmarks ruined the fight

lovely

[keen brook]

I don't even try something with jar.

[floral apex]

had that happen once
max and kimi were about to have a drag race to the end in zandvoort but then max got held up by a backmarker at the last chicane

[muted kayak]

the fight for the points was a 6 car train

2 laps to go

eveyrone literally nose to tail

[floral apex]

so the average f1 24 race?

[muted kayak]

Zhou decided to make everyone have a 2 second gap to each other.

so

that ruined that fight

[keen brook]

Once I lost a win because of a back marker.

It literally was wheel to wheel through the last 3 corners on the last lap in Silverstone just to get blocked by a back marker.

[muted kayak]

P8 and P12 is the finishing results

not bad

finished exactly where our car should be

[keen brook]

Stroll spun.

Now I need to make sure every time Tsunoda does something that I don't say Tsunoda.

and Tramnitz instead

[floral apex]

i'm willing to bet you're still going to say Tsunoda by accident

[keen brook]

Zhou light damage

crash

Piastri and Sargeant

Sargeant light damage

no penalties given

mechanical issue for Ollie

engine failure

mechanical issue for Ollie

Ollie out of FP2

[floral apex]

most haas thing ever

[keen brook]

Good that Chloe was already in Ollie's car in FP1.

And Ollie now had a shorter FP2.

[floral apex]

bearman, probably: wtf man are you trying to fire me

[keen brook]

Doohan light damage

For whatever reason that happens extremely often in Monza that drivers get damage from getting pushed off the track in wheel to wheel battles.

[floral apex]

sausage kerbs are insane

im pretty sure in my original save i had leclerc dnf from going into a gravel trap

[keen brook]

I think it's actually gravel that causes floor damage.

[floral apex]

eh i'm sure stroll would know

[keen brook]

And severe floor damage is a DNF already.

like with the chassis

It doesn't even need to be terminal for a DNF.

[floral apex]

i'm pretty sure any part that's not a front wing will cause a DNF if its severely damaged or worse

[keen brook]

Whilst even a terminal front wing damage isn't a DNF.

[floral apex]

that's fair enough anyway because the front wing is replaceable mid-race

[keen brook]

Sidepods I'm not sure, is too rare.

Rear wing and suspension is not necessarily a DNF if it's severe.

But chassis and floor always is.

[floral apex]

i mean they can always just tape up the rear wing and call it a repair cough yuki in baku 2022

[keen brook]

I actually had that already that drivers continued with severe rear wing damage, they're extremely slow.

like very extremely slow

[floral apex]

i mean if they went any faster the wing would probably fall off lol

[keen brook]

Like it only takes like 5 laps to lap them.

same for severe suspension damage but a bit less extreme

And I had both with own drivers already.

So I know that's a thing.

So it's part depentent what amount of damage is enough for a DNF.

Oh and 2 punctures are a DNF.

[floral apex]

alonso in baku 2018 would like to argue with that

[primal drift]

you can get multiple punctures?

[keen brook]

yes

I had that once.

And it was an instant DNF.

OK, tbf getting out of a gravel trap with 2 punctures is probably impossible.

[floral apex]

yeah thats fair

[keen brook]

And I think it even were both rear tires.

or both right tires, not too sure about that

[floral apex]

i mean you don't have as much grip when you're missing tires

[floral apex]

nooo not esteban

[keen brook]

😭

[lyric scaffold]

[floral apex]
