[frozen thunder]

in my case

[floral apex]

tsunoda seems likely

[fallow breach]

ten teams in the top 10 is wild

[frozen thunder]

worse i got was a red flag after a safety car restart in japan

[floral apex]

there was that one time i did a monaco race and got 4 red flags one after another

[rare robin]

piastri is currently unlapping himself

[fallow breach]

and dp is retired

[rare robin]

alright, done

[fallow breach]

great

canada

this is a sorta drunk race

based on the winner

...lance stroll

[rare robin]

they know they can't overtake yet they still do this

[floral apex]

hUh

[fallow breach]

yuki didnt even retire, he finished p18 💀

verstappen p15

[floral apex]

yep drunk race

[fallow breach]

more i look, more I think "definitely drunk race"

Stroll from Hamilton, Sainz, Albon, Perez, Charles Leclerc, Piastri, Ocon, Sargeant and Norris round out the top 10.

Then Gasly, Pourchaire, Cordeel, Boschung, Verstappen, Nissany, Russell, Tsunoda, Zhou and Arthur Leclerc

Hulkenberg and DP retired

[fallow breach]

from 1 and 2 to 18 and 17 for yuki and george 💀💀

[red wadi]

Felipe Drugovich on X (translated from Portuguese (Brasil))
Romeo is a spoiled brat who attacks the culture of several nations, he insulted the Brazilian people by mocking the great Aytron Senna. He is nothing more than a stupid (censored), his wife and kids deserve better than an egoistic, culture discriminating spoiled brat. Romeo Pellegrini has no right to be in F1.

[fallow breach]

Even more drunk by the fact Lance did 2 stops and still beat Hamilton who did 1 💀

Really close result tho, 0.210 stroll to Hamilton

[rare robin]

a crash!

4 cars out

[fallow breach]

"This wild and wacky season just continues getting stranger. A season that started in Australia, then went to Japan, and has come to Imola after a break, for not racing in China, the Middle East or the US, will see Lance Stroll become a two time race winner"

[red wadi]

Romeo Pellegrini on X (translated from Portuguese (Brasil))
You (censored), you think I can’t your language? Mate i’m not a spoiled brat, I hate to fight my entire life for F1. Also you are not coming after my family, you just made a big mistake bucko. Also talk slack about me once you’re back in the Top10, your F1 career is in the gutter mate

[rare robin]

the hards could last a whole race and more

maybe they are too durable now

[floral apex]

oh its real heated now

[rare robin]

anyways, 11 cars remain

[red wadi]

“You just made a big mistake bucko” aka Drugo is cooked😭😭

Also a face to face meeting from the pair on Thursday in the Montreal paddock👀

Romeo fr went for Drugo in Drugo’s language, insane power move😭🙏

[rare robin]

alpine have only scored 1 point this whole season

and here they are

fighting for a win

piastri crashed

safety car

[quaint hare]

im doing an audi f1 23 career. Cuz fun. But the ai does way more mistakes for some reason. Max dnf in lap 1. red flag after half of the race. A lot of lock ups and snaps of oversteers by the ai

its newcomer btw but somehow pourchaire is in p4

[floral apex]

remember pellegrini spent a few years in Brazil

[red wadi]

True

[rare robin]

10 cars to go-

[red wadi]

That’s why I knew Romeo could speak it

[rare robin]

10 cars remain*

[quaint hare]

96 laps???

[rare robin]

yeah

i edited the save

[quaint hare]

ah cool. So 150% race distance?

[rare robin]

uhh almost

about 30km short

[quaint hare]

so 140%

[rare robin]

montreal isn't long enough for that

[quaint hare]

quick maths

[rare robin]

yeah

[quaint hare]

just get hulk that podium

[red wadi]

So, do we settle the drama in Montreal? Hell nah, this Drugo vs Romoe fued is gonna go on for awhile but some big stuff gonna happen

[rare robin]

colapinto crashes..

at the same spot piastri did

[quaint hare]

9 drivers remain :D

[rare robin]

he's blocking half the track, red flag

[quaint hare]

imagine restart crash

[rare robin]

idk how are both haas drivers still racing

[quaint hare]

Nico podium please

[rare robin]

hulkenburg is leading

[quaint hare]

hell yeah

[rare robin]

oo battle for the lead

[glacial inlet]

I hear this is where we talk about The Game

[rare robin]

albon came out of nowhere-

hulkenburg knocked off the podium

probably temporary

[red wadi]

Nice HHH pfp

[quaint hare]

the red flag really spiced things up

[glacial inlet]

A man of culture I see

[red wadi]

Yup, I guess you know who my pfp is?

[glacial inlet]

Mami

[red wadi]

First it was Grayson Waller lol but I changed it

[red wadi]

Hell yeah

[red wadi]

Which is funny bc I’m a Cody Crybaby

[floral apex]

so whats up

[red wadi]

Alright time to send the first part of the face to face meeting of Drugo and Romeo

[floral apex]

It is going to get SPICY

[red wadi]

Especially with Drugo going after Romeo’s family for 0 reason😭

Drugovich and Pellegrini f2f (pt1)
FD: “Ay dude, I wanted to talk. What the (censored) where you thinking in Monaco with that celebration? Mocking the great Senna?”
RP: “Still not over this (censored) shit are we? Come on dude grow up, you’re an F1 driver not a toddler”
FD: “Says the 32 year old dude who talks like he just hit puberty, might seem fitting for a guy who thinks it’s okay to push over their team boss.”
RP: “scoffs You are the most (censored) (censored) driver on this grid, you are the idiot who went after my family. That was unnecessary.”
FD: “I believe what I said though. gets pushed over”
Romeo and Felipe start pushing each other, with staff running towards the duo before any fighting happens

[rare robin]

i haven't updated in quite a while

here's what happened:

..nvm

ocon gave verstappen DRS

that was enough for him to take the lead

OH

GASLY TOOK HULKENBURG'S P3 AT THE LAST CORNER

[red wadi]

The FIA probably gonna ban the pair from seeing each other after part 2

[rare robin]

the game might have broke again

i'll have a look tomorrow.. this is getting too much for me

[red wadi]

Drugovich and Pellegrini f2f (pt2)
the staff comes too late as Drugovich slaps Romeo on the arm
RP: “Seriously man, you think you can just slap me like that? Highly unprofessional from you”
SM1: “Come on guys, no fighting. tries to separate the pair”
SM2: “We try to keep it….”
FD: “You started this mess by insulting Brazilian culture!”
RP: “You just slapped me though, guess I could return the favour”
SM1: “No hitting each……. other”
RP: “I’m off”
—End of segment

[floral apex]

FIA issues a restraining order

[red wadi]

FIA watching this mess knowing damn well they’re cooked if it explodes:

[fallow breach]

Next stop on the itinerary for DMPU 2028: Monaco. The home of the Leclercs.

[floral apex]

DtS would go mad

[red wadi]

Fr

[fallow breach]

max verstappen is 15th in the championship

[red wadi]

Also yes Romeo slapped Felipe at the end🙏😭

[fallow breach]

When the steward paused midsentence?

[red wadi]

Yup

[eager wharf]

hi

[red wadi]

Staff Member 2 got cut off by Drugo

[fallow breach]

DMPU S5 WET QUALI IN MONACO 🔥🔥

[fallow breach]

not even a semblance of sun in the qual, it could be full wets right the way through

[floral apex]

The only sun in quali is on the red bull cars

[fallow breach]

though, accessing the session, at least rn its inter conditions

[red wadi]

Okay so, i’m cooking something. Drugo gets blammed for the paddock incident and gets fined 250k, Romeo gets fined 50k bc of the slap

That slap must’ve hurt for Drugo though😭🙏

[floral apex]

bro essentially got slapped by a wrestler

[red wadi]

Exactly😭😭

[fallow breach]

turned out the icon was misleading, it was inters, then became dry conditions

however, we might have a drunk quali on our hands

first time since Belgium 2027, we have some strange timings

I'll give the rundown

So, Oscar is on pole ahead of Leclerc (the Ferrari one), then Yuki and Carlos share the second row

here's where it starts getting odd. I'll quickly rattle off the times, so Oscar gapped Charles by 0.449s, then Yuki and Carlos were 0.495 and 0.535.

Hamilton P5, 0.781
Gasly P6, 0.824

Perez P7, 0.906
Pourchaire P8, 1.196

Cordeel P9, 1.471

HULKENBERG P10, 2.510

Arthur Leclerc P11, 5.775.

[floral apex]

A DPM in P11? what in the world is this?!?

[fallow breach]

Stroll P12 (his teammate is P3) +6.554

Russell P13 (teammate in P5), +7.963

Nissany P14, +8.562

The rest didnt get off inters.
Norris P15, 11.520
Verstappen P16, 11.605
Albon P17, 11.623
Ocon P18, 12.311
Sargeant P19, 12.527
Boschung P20, 12.645
Zhou P21, 13.528

[fallow breach]

no clue 😭🔥

All down to Nissany were on softs on their best lap.

Nissany was 8.5 seconds back on the same fucking tyres.

You can't make this up.

[floral apex]

The race could be chaotic

Considering that one other Monaco race

[fallow breach]

Race is dry though

i dont remember if monaco 26 was wet or dry

If anyones gonna surge up the field its max 💀

Watch him win 😭

In the top half (P1-11), here's the team rep:









DPM

Williams were the only team with both cars outside the top half.

[fallow breach]

true but lance already has his win for 2028

he won imola remember

OMG NICO TOOK A 10 PLACE PENALTY SO ARTHUR IS STARTING P10 🔥🔥

[fallow breach]

Is this the time for the double Leclerc podium?!

[floral apex]

oh wow

[fallow breach]

Predictions?

[floral apex]

uh chaos

[fallow breach]

in what sense? high qualifiers fading and low qualifiers storming to the top? or unconventional teams at the top like vcarb, sauber or even god forbid DPM

[floral apex]

a complete grid shakeup i guess

[fallow breach]

oh absolutely drunk race what the fuck

Lando wins from P14. Russell P2, Sargeant P3. Ocon P4, Albon P5, Boschung P6, Zhou P7, Hulkenberg P8, Verstappen P9, and Arthur Leclerc P10.

i've only just looked at the times and WHAT.

[floral apex]

HUh

[fallow breach]

Lando wins by 14 seconds over George, Logan 75 seconds behind. Ocon, Albon and Boschung 1 lap, the Saubers 2 laps, Verstappen 3 laps, Arthur and Piastri 5 laps, Nissany, Stroll, Gasly and Cordeel 6 laps, Checo, Yuki, Hamilton, Sainz, Pourchaire and Charles 7 laps down.

SEVEN FUCKING LAPS.

THATS LIKE ALMOST A TENTH OF THE RACE??

only two cars stayed where they qualified, they were the DPM cars.

Arthur P10, DP P22 (DNF)

no fucking way thats how dpm get their first ever point in their career

[floral apex]

charles got beaten by his own brother

[fallow breach]

its only 1 but every point counts

[floral apex]

except when youre dpm cuz itll be the only point they'll ever count

[fallow breach]

DPM ARE P10 IN THE CONSTRUCTORS CHAMPIONSHIP ‼️🔥

No constructor has passed 100 points, yet 9 are on 10 or more.

theres that 44 22 again

2028 could be mad competitive yk

[sleek shell]

Doug Pederson Motorsports

Danica Patrick Motorsports

Ooh that's the one

[floral apex]

[fallow breach]

the irony is button rejected my approach to sign him

is that why?

[floral apex]

I like how 44 22 moved from mclaren/aston to williams/alpine

[fallow breach]

IT MAKES SENSE NOW

[red wadi]

I’m gonna pump 1 more lore update

[sleek shell]

morelore

[fallow breach]

and theyre both ahead of red bull 💀

max verstappen is P17 in the championship. What.

3 points in 4 races is not it chief

Next up is Canada.

Round 5 of the F1 World (ish) Championship of 2028

canada has been an interesting one in dpmu before

we saw verstappen come from p20 to the win here in 2027

but Verstappen 2027 and Verstappen 2028 seem to be very different people

[floral apex]

feels like how when f1 started they had all european races and then the indy 500 (which they added presumably to make a "world championship" title real, unconfirmed tho)

[fallow breach]

quick canada qual prediction anyone?

[red wadi]

Romeo Pellegrini on X
This sealed the deal, Drugovich is a (censored). Talking big but got nothing going for him, what a loser. Anyways i’m going to ignore him now, see you in Brazil Drugo!

[fallow breach]

btw the arthur 3lc question..

theyre both LEC 💀

[floral apex]

Lmao

[fallow breach]

who ya got for pole?

Whoever you had, it's Oscar Piastri.

Norris on the front row

Tsunoda and Sainz 3 and 4

Hamilton, Stroll, Russell, Charles Leclerc, Verstappen and Gasly round out top 10.

Who is going to win the Canadian GP?

[red wadi]

Tsunoda

Ah nvm he starts from 3rd

Bro gonna finish 17th

[fallow breach]

9-21 on the grid

[floral apex]

lol

[fallow breach]

Gasly retires on lap 1, DP retires on lap 5 and Norris wins the Canadian GP. Piastri P2, Russell P3, then Tsunoda, Verstappen, Sainz, Leclerc (Charles), Albon, Stroll and Ocon.

One more race for today, and it's Spain.

Note how only 2 sprint venues are in 2028

the first is the 7th race at Austria, and the second is the Brazilian GP

this is the start of the verstorming up the field istg

Max Verstappen front row for Spain.

Norris is on pole, and Piastri is P3. Sainz and Leclerc are 4-5. Tsunoda P6, Albon P7, Russell P8.

WET RACE IN SPAIN

I REPEAT

WET RACE IN SPAIN

Results of Spain

i did the same fucking thing as in mexico 27

[red wadi]

Nice wall

[fallow breach]

that result might not be actual

thanks

[red wadi]

Np

[surreal rain]

who plays f124 on playstation

[fallow breach]

I do

[quaint hare]

f1 23 is so damn cruel. I was in the podiums positions for the first time. And i get an engine failure

the control electronics failed

[floral apex]

chat died

[quaint hare]

Like my hopes of a podium in my career

neverming. Qualified p2 in austria

but since its f1 23 i first have to go through a sprint

[quaint hare]

no i need to start a new career. Even at 90 ai im too fast

[floral apex]

i found myself leading the championship in the alpine in f1 23 after winning a few races
my solution: crash out of the next race to remove my advantage

[quaint hare]

yeah i wont be doing that. What im more shocked about is how 90 ai is the highest i ever played on on steam deck

not even 95 is enough damn

[floral apex]

mans too fast

you're not being blitzed on the straights either?

[quaint hare]

im trying 100 now

crazy how i improved by more than 20 ai in a year

[floral apex]

thinking about how on 80 ai i got blitzed by the ais down the hangar straight in silverstone

i had drs open

welcome to alpine

[quaint hare]

yeah they dump the ers

also an unfair thing is that the ai doesnt get affected by tyre temperatures

[floral apex]

I started silverstone on pole, forced piastri wide, took out the front wings of both mercs, and dropped to P5 before spinning into Ricciardo's path and taking myself out

[keen brook]

damn, the Canadian Maldonado

[frozen thunder]

braking news Nissan and Honda agree to end their partnership for power units at the end of 2026, with Honda also cutting their sponsorship for the team after the same year

what this means for the fast food industry is unknown

[floral apex]

Nissanhonda

time for baku

[quaint hare]

Id say 98 ai for me

on fricking controller

[floral apex]

the circuit where the full wets can last almost 6 times the lap count

[quaint hare]

100 is on the edge between too fast and just fast enough

[floral apex]

also the circuit where the softs can cover an entire race distance and have 10 laps to spare

[quaint hare]

Im gonna play as audi. Should i be like midfield challenger or newcomer?

i think newcomer. As audi is building everything from scratch basically

[floral apex]

i think newcomer would make more sense here because you're not starting as sauber

[keen brook]

Yeah, that's where Kick Sauber is at which is the base Audi is on.

[quaint hare]

16 race season

[floral apex]

sauber: has been in f1 since the 90s
Also sauber: is considered a newcomer because of how slow they are

[keen brook]

Meanwhile the real newcomer Haas who just joined in 2016: solid midfielder.

[quaint hare]

yeah definitely. They have race wins (Kubica 2008 Canada for example)

[quaint hare]

the drivers definitely were. Not the car

[keen brook]

The car is decent.

Komatsu cooked.

[floral apex]

I only know how long Sauber has been in F1 because they were once sponsored by Red Bull and Petronas

which is a combination you'd probably never see today

[keen brook]

And he will keep cooking and with Esteban and Ollie Haas will be best of the rest this season.

[quaint hare]

yeah. Until redbull took iver jordan i think it was in 2005

[frozen thunder]

a statement from the Nissan Motorsport representative: (Translated from Japanese) “After the 2026 Formula 1 Season, Honda RBPT will no longer be the provider of the team’s powertrain. We are in talks with coming up with a new power unit supplier, in which that information will be given out later this year. We thank Honda for powering our cars for 3 years, next season included. We can only wish for the best for Honda. Thank you.”

what this means for the construction sector is unclear

[floral apex]

what does this mean for the energy drink sector

[frozen thunder]

FUCK MY DRIVERS KEEP DESTROYING MY CAR

WE’RE GONNA GO BROK

[keen brook]

Oracle Red Bull Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber

[quaint hare]

redbulls drink is literally only a side quest now

vettel was so good in toro rosso that the main red bull team was behind toro rosso that year

[keen brook]

yeah

That was actually hilarious.

imagine now RB being ahead of Red Bull

[quaint hare]

yup. Especially since coultheart got only 3 points finishes i think it was the entire year

[floral apex]

imagine telling someone in 1998 that this team would become lime green in 26 years

[keen brook]

And that these 3 should split over into 3 different teams.

Sauber, Red Bull and Petronas

[floral apex]

petronas with mercedes

which funnily enough mercedes was partnered with sauber in their early years

[keen brook]

and Red Bull with themselves

[floral apex]

crazy coincidence

[quaint hare]

imagine telling someone that the 2 sponsors would win every drivers championship from 2010 to 2024 (so far) and every constructors championship from 2010 go 2023

[keen brook]

Were Red Bull and Petronas in the team name back then?

[quaint hare]

15 driver titles and 14 construvtor titles

[quaint hare]

sauber red bull petronas f1 team

[floral apex]

yep

[quaint hare]

imagine that

oh

[keen brook]

So now it would be:

[floral apex]

from 1997 to 2001 they were Red Bull Sauber Petronas

[keen brook]

Oracle Red Bull Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS

[floral apex]

1995 and 1996 they were Red Bull Sauber-Ford (coincidence that Ford would supply a Red Bull team again 30 years later?)

[keen brook]

lol

[floral apex]

Red Bull would leave Sauber after 2002

[keen brook]

imagine

After Audi bought Sauber.

[floral apex]

my google history now

[quaint hare]

how do i call the audi team? Audi F1 Racing? Audi Motorsports? Or something else?

[keen brook]

Now Sauber goes to Red Bull.

[quaint hare]

and which engine even?

[floral apex]

in my f1m save they have merc engines and are simply called "Audi"

[quaint hare]

merc engine is too expensive for me

[keen brook]

Yeah, Mercedes makes sense.

[floral apex]

or apparently

[keen brook]

As it's a German brand as well.

[quaint hare]

because i chose lawson as my second driver

[floral apex]

pellegrini getting a lot of FP1s lately
he's out here again in Baku

[keen brook]

Alternatively you could say they stay with Ferrari for now as the own engine isn't ready yet.

[quaint hare]

ill choose ferrari. Fits the red estethic

bro idfk how to spell estethic. Or asthethic

Or whatever

[floral apex]

aesthetic

[quaint hare]

oh

ae is ä in german

[floral apex]

english is funny

[quaint hare]

and its pronounced like the German ä

so aestethic is quite german

[floral apex]

it seems aesthetics ultimately have Greek origin but were introduced to English... from German

[quaint hare]

english is a germanic language

[floral apex]

so i put both of my drivers on full push quali sim
and they ended up fighting each other throughout the entire lap

[keen brook]

Some English words literally are copied from the German language.

[quaint hare]

since ot broke off from a really old german language. So yeah

[keen brook]

like kindergarten

literally a German word

[quaint hare]

yeah

[keen brook]

but also part of the English language

[floral apex]

this channel: has a topic
the topics in the channel sometimes: everything but that topic

[quaint hare]

it means the samw thing

[keen brook]

yeah

Whilst Kind is actually child in English.

[floral apex]

how did max only use this much ERS on his push lap

[quaint hare]

anyway. Meet Audi Sports F1 Racing

[keen brook]

And Garten is garden.

[floral apex]

antonelli even used slightly less

[quaint hare]

yeah. And Gift in german is somethikg bad

[floral apex]

so literal translation: child garden

[keen brook]

Yet it's kindergarten in English as well.

[floral apex]

looks legit

[keen brook]

GTA is probably the most famous example of a German word in the English language.

[quaint hare]

Brand. German and english. Without language context its conpletely different

[quaint hare]

Auto?

[keen brook]

yeah

Usually you say car in English.

[quaint hare]

yeah

[keen brook]

But somehow auto also is the same in English.

[floral apex]

i mean we also use auto a lot in english

we have automotive services

[frozen thunder]

what the flip i can do 65 laps on softs

[floral apex]

almost confused me here cuz GTA has two definitions for me: grand theft auto and Greater Toronto Area

[frozen thunder]

MY UPGRADES WORKED

[quaint hare]

germsn is weird. And we have a log of arguments about how we call different things. Like Berliner. The south calls it Krapfen and the Berlin people say Pfannkuchen. Which means pancakes. While in english theyre called jelly donut

[frozen thunder]

YIPPEE

[keen brook]

oh yeah

It's a nightmare.

[floral apex]

i like how everyone pretty much used the same audi livery based on their preview livery thingy

[quaint hare]

i personally dont mind berliner or krapfen. But when someone says pfannkuchen then im just weirded out

[quaint hare]

yeah. Its funny

[keen brook]

Then there's Bavarian which is an entire different language.

[quaint hare]

oh yeah

[floral apex]

me being the one active non-german in this channel

[keen brook]

Whlst the other 2 Germans talk about Germany.

well, more the German language

[quaint hare]

yeah

[keen brook]

at 2:30 am

[quaint hare]

we could talk a lot about Germany tho. Although we probably would land into a not so cool territory

[keen brook]

yeah

[quaint hare]

i still have holidays :3

[floral apex]

how many times do i have to say f1 games chat past midnight cet often turns slightly off topic

[keen brook]

just a little bit

How have we even got to this, I already forgot.

[floral apex]

@quaint hare not knowing how to spell aesthetic

[quaint hare]

this

[quaint hare]

yup

[floral apex]

thats literally what spawned this whole conversation

[keen brook]

Oh, right aesthetic and it's similarity to the German counterpart.

[floral apex]

more like the letter combination ae and that german letter that i cant type into my keyboard

[quaint hare]

Something is horribly wrong woth my f1 23 game rn

its too good

[floral apex]

what happened lol

[quaint hare]

i set the first race to be in miami

so naturally there is a lot of time

[floral apex]

one time i interacted with the German language: calling the ß a "fancy B"

[quaint hare]

but somehow. Im only the 5th worst team

[keen brook]

Whilst it actually is a variation of s.

[quaint hare]

oh yeah. Did you know that the ß has a capital too? Its ẞ

[quaint hare]

yeah. Its ss just in one letter

[keen brook]

Yeah and has a slightly different pronunciation.

[floral apex]

i know very little german words

I do know what "shit" is in german tho for some reason and sometimes i use the german word as a substitute

[quaint hare]

its also the most common used german swear word

[floral apex]

also in other news this very pixelated VSC board in F1 Manager

[keen brook]

Seb's Sao Paulo radio taught the whole world of F1 fans a bit German.

[quaint hare]

Nobody uses Bockmist though

[floral apex]

i only got into F1 mid-2023 lmao

[keen brook]

yeah

[quaint hare]

2014 for me

i was 6 years old

[keen brook]

It's actually hilarious that this is censored.

Like it's literally the most swearless swearword you can say.

[quaint hare]

also a friendly substitute for scheisse ist Scheibenkleister. For some reason

[keen brook]

Yeah, whilst the latter one is to fix windows into the frame.

[quaint hare]

yeah

[floral apex]

the F1 Manager VSC board is a poorly put together microsoft paint drawing or something

or for some reason the flag boards are old tvs

[quaint hare]

or someone tried to make minecraft mapart

[floral apex]

and got a bit creative while doing so

[quaint hare]

yeah

[keen brook]

It's art.

[floral apex]

Frontier hired an artist when they needed the flag boards designed

[quaint hare]

average youtube video when Mayonnaise on bed

wtf

laying*

holy shit

[floral apex]

Mayonnaise

How tf

[quaint hare]

imagine your YouTube quality is bad because you got mayonnaise on your bed (the non human made mayonnaise)

[quaint hare]

because i wrote maying instead of laying it corrected to mayonnaise

[floral apex]

Your autocorrect is drunker than drunk reddawn

[quaint hare]

i know

[keen brook]

Wait, that can actually get understood very badly.

[quaint hare]

it one time corrected sonething to sulifung. Which ain’t even a real word

[floral apex]

...oh goodness

[quaint hare]

oh

yeah

Fixed

[floral apex]

what the heck is sulifung

[quaint hare]

idfk

[floral apex]

Sounds like a city name

[keen brook]

This actually would've been a great moment for cursed of1d screenshots.

[floral apex]

Welcome to Sulifung, Thuringia, Germany

[keen brook]

Sulifung sounds more Japanese.

or Chinese

[quaint hare]

i have proof that im not making it up

[floral apex]

sulifung sounds vaguely indonesian also

The city of Sulifung on the island of Java

Welcome to F1 Games chat, where we somehow manage to go off topic every 5 sentences

[quaint hare]

yeah no. I searched sulifung on apple maps and nothing showed up

btw that sulifung incident happened over 5 years ago

[floral apex]

google maps got nothing either

[quaint hare]

Google got nothing

Not even ChatGPT

[floral apex]

i went to search up german states earlier and when i got to "german" it autosuggested "german grand prix"

[quaint hare]

its a made up word

dowsnr exist

but on the 5th of december 2019 my 11 year old ass wrote that to my sister

[frozen thunder]

i dont think the other teams are doing a sub minute 10

[floral apex]

This is what comes up when i search up german

[frozen thunder]

i think thats how fast it goes for canada at least

[floral apex]

Wow thats rapid

[quaint hare]

how about we get back on channel topic?

[keen brook]

I guess that just happened.

[floral apex]

well that was random

[keen brook]

Sunwest dominance but it's 2nd and 3rd.

[mint token]

Sounds like a skill issue tbh

[keen brook]

Well, it's SQ2 though so doesn't even matter at all.

[mint token]

I should probably change my nickname in this server but I cba

[keen brook]

I need to think of a new one as well.

[quaint hare]

Same for me

[floral apex]

thats better

[keen brook]

That's more like Sunwest.

[quaint hare]

but i think i know one. Althought it could maybe spark some homophobia but tbh. I dont care about others opinion of me

[floral apex]

the fact this is possible in baku still surprises me

full sprint length on aggressive softs with plenty of tire left

[floral apex]

some kind of esteban pun or something idk

[floral apex]

i mean anything is possible
we did lose two races this season

[quaint hare]

Estepun?

[floral apex]

i mean he is an estefan

[sleek shell]

BESTeban

[floral apex]

tbf he did run "estegoat goatcon" for like half of 2024 so

[quaint hare]

yeah

i like my new name

[floral apex]

yes

[quaint hare]

WHAT

[floral apex]

woah

[quaint hare]

Holy shit. Seargent is only 1,8 seconds behind p1

[keen brook]

For newcomer that's very decent, especially Liam in 11th.

[sleek shell]

You gon go get nico when Liam's contract is up?

[sleek shell]

Audi demands it

[keen brook]

low rated F2 driver immediately being close to the top 10

[quaint hare]

Hes 81 rated

[floral apex]

thats really decent yeag

[quaint hare]

overall

its the best f2

[keen brook]

wait

81?

as a F2 driver

[quaint hare]

yeah

in f1 23

[keen brook]

Codies always rates F2 drivers 70 or lower.

[floral apex]

my custom team save in f1 23 was a complete custom team but in sauber colors lol

[quaint hare]

yeah but he got like 80 pace or so

[keen brook]

And then there's Logan who even in his 2nd F1 season still has a F2 driver rating.

[floral apex]

Might be later game Lawson after his stint at AlphaTauri

[quaint hare]

85 pacd

73 awareness

83 racecrafg

47 experience

amd 75 focus

no bonuses

[keen brook]

85 pace is insane.

and 83 racecraft as well

[quaint hare]

yeah. From the get go

hes like that whwn you sign the contract

[keen brook]

Well, experience is obviously very low.

[sleek shell]

They do update* stats after the season based on performance no?

[keen brook]

Oh right, they do rating updates.

[quaint hare]

still the highest

[keen brook]

Probably Liam got a huge upgrade after his AT stint.

[sleek shell]

Ye ratings my bad, not stats per se

[quaint hare]

Also

hes only 1 mil

[keen brook]

Yeah, that's the default top tier F2 drivers salary.

[quaint hare]

yeah. Hes the best f2 driver in f1 23 for my team career

anyway 22 lap race

[keen brook]

Which is for a 81 rated driver insanely cheap.

[sleek shell]

But did rbr give him the gig based solely on F1 23😭

[floral apex]

oop that was fast

[quaint hare]

lezs see for grud penalties

[quaint hare]

i think in f1 2020 you paid 2 mil for a 71 rated or so

[quaint hare]

No penalties

[floral apex]

Mini gets the penalty for that crash

[sleek shell]

Who's the mini Gabriele

[floral apex]

i think he did the barrier bug on that crash

[keen brook]

Oh, now I see which 2 cars crashed.

[quaint hare]

in f1 manager 22 i one time had a 6 car crash. I guess going 4 wide into a turn doesnt work. And especially not if the 2 cars behind you drive into each other

[floral apex]

they BOTH went through the barrier on that crash
and Iwasa just bounced straight back through the wall

[keen brook]

The Mercedes isn't involved in that.

[floral apex]

Tsunoda gets the penalty

[keen brook]

Yeah, this barrier there is only visual and not an actual wall.

[floral apex]

thats a strange thing to have

[keen brook]

So it has no hitbox.

And the cars just fly through it which always looks a bit funny.

[floral apex]

feels like that suzuka wall where ive had two drivers go straight through

[keen brook]

I had once this in the 23 manager.

[floral apex]

man nobody can keep it on the track today

fortunately that was the last incident

the overtake to the win happened so quickly the timing board still says 0.000

[quaint hare]

race start done and piastri wenr nowhere. Losing 9 positions

[floral apex]

0.093 final classified gap

ok baku with a sprint makes the game confused
for some reason the sprint takes place late afternoon - at the same time as race quali should be

[quaint hare]

Ocon lost 5 position

no way

lawson went past alonso

into p8

[floral apex]

just got the weirdest red flag

it showed red flag
i checked, nobody in the wall
except iwasa is out apparently

[quaint hare]

probably spun out on track maybe

[floral apex]

and now im seeing drivers with negative 1 DNFs

[quaint hare]

Perez is out

[floral apex]

maybe cuz there was no damage icon next to iwasa's name

[quaint hare]

Bro. Zhou overtook alonso. Zhou is p9

im p7

lawson p8

[quaint hare]

alonso down into p11. Being overtaken by hulk

[floral apex]

what happened to alonso lol

[quaint hare]

so its a fight for 6th between me, lawson, zhou and sainz??

[quaint hare]

idk. Both spaniards cant find speed

Both are on softs

but they just have been going backwards since the start

sainz just pit. He probably got wing damage

[frozen thunder]

and that’s a 1-2 for canada

Ryo takes P1 ahead of Iwasa

followed by Lando, Max, and Pierre

[quaint hare]

alonso just pit a second time

[frozen thunder]

lots of action and lots of mechanical faults

[quaint hare]

my drs is down

[floral apex]

rip drs

[quaint hare]

norris got dotf

dotd

im p7

lawson p10

[floral apex]

i mean who else would get dotd

[quaint hare]

ocon wtf

he started p15. Fell down go p20. And finished in p11

[floral apex]

and uh what did norris do]

[quaint hare]

started p8 and cought up 10 seconds in 8 laps to p4?

ocon did a massive undercut though

imo. Ocon deserved dotd

only 4 drivers have gotten the same results in race 1 and race 2.

max verstappen. P1
charles leclerc. P3
Nico Hülkenberg. P18
Sergio Perez. DNF

[floral apex]

checo double dnf lol

[quaint hare]

ferrari is ahead of redbull in wcc

next race monaco. I’ll simulate it tho cuz im shit

monaco quali was rather questionable

alonso is retiring

[floral apex]

alonsogon?

[quaint hare]

yup

:(

next race is his home race in spain

hes p16 in his final home race

wven stroll is ahead

in p11

got 0.0 grid slot

[quaint hare]

i had the best damn start. P13 to p4 in just 2 corners

[quaint hare]

success was short lived tho

down to p7

[floral apex]

our german affiliate takes the win in the Baku F2 round! (and Pelley is third!)

[quaint hare]

p9

[floral apex]

Pulling scores only two points in Baku

fortunately she's already over 100 points ahead of P2

[quaint hare]

Gasly is insane. P3

[floral apex]

what the heck

[quaint hare]

he started p9

ALONSO UP IN P13

p12

im down into p13 now

[floral apex]

four more races until the decision on Antonelli's contract is made

[quaint hare]

p14

[floral apex]

one more F3 round, 4 more F2 round

[quaint hare]

Alonso finished in p7

p16 to p7

[floral apex]

is he back?!?!?!?

[quaint hare]

No hes still retiring at the end of the season

anyway ima Sleep. Its 5:40 am

[vague willow]

the ai is actually stupid

they gave me a free p1 and p4 start in the slowest car on the grid'

the rain was going away, meaning that you could do faster laps

they did not do any better laps

but i did

[floral apex]

i was wondering why you were awake so much later compared to the other europeans

[vague willow]

well lets see how this is gonna go with the tractor

bro i went from p1 and p4 to double no-points

[quaint hare]

duh

[vague willow]

bottled

[quaint hare]

theyre stupid. Not slow

[vague willow]

i ended with a p11 and p13

this level of bottle is unmatched

williams is in the fight for the constructors

53pt

[floral apex]

wow
pulling and lindblad did poorly in baku
P11-P13 in the sprint and P9-P11 in the feature race

[red wadi]

Canada will be done tonight

Also Romeo said “See you in Brazil Drugo”, not only is that the last race of the season but also Romeo referring to Drugo being a backmarker

[keen brook]

the GOAT

[primal drift]

managed to beat Alonso to it in the last round too

though he did get taken out by Leclerc

[quaint hare]

alright. Next race is canada. Im awake again

surprisingly my team (im gonna call it audi from now on) is 7th in the R&D performance

Spain was a race to forget

[fallow breach]

Next race in DPMU in 2028 is Austria, first of 2 sprints (unless Spain didn't register)

[quaint hare]

I got from p13 to p4. Then fell down to p15. Then got a 5secokd penalty because ricciardo cant drive and finished 19th

by performance im last in chassis and dursbility. 6th in Aero and 4th in powertrain

p5 quali for me. P12 for lawson

lawson is only 0.816 behind p1

verstappen got a penalty. Promoting me to p4 and Lawson to p11

[fallow breach]

It happens to be Spain because last night's Spain race ended up void.

after DP caused collisions on lap 1. Under SC, Verstappen leads from Sainz and Norris.

[fallow breach]

he crashed max in Australia, this time his anger is taken out on the reigning champion Tsunoda.

DP retires on lap 7 from sustained damages.

And it is a home victory in the Spanish Grand Prix for Carlos Sainz!

Norris P2, Piastri P3, then Sargeant, Tsunoda, Ocon, Charles Leclerc, Perez, Hamilton and Russell.

Albon is P11, from Gasly, Stroll, Nissany, Cordeel, Pourchaire, Boschung, Hulkenberg, and Arthur Leclerc. Zhou and Verstappen retired.

After Spain, it's Norris from Piastri, Sainz, Tsunoda and Russell for the top 5 of the drivers championship. Norris has 102, Piastri has 70, Sainz has 67, Yuki has 60 and George has 50. Charles Leclerc also has 50 but is P6.

The constructors:
McLaren lead with 172. Then Ferrari (117) and Aston Martin (108). Mercedes are P4 with 70, then Williams with 60. Then come Red Bull (33) and Alpine (31), followed by VCARB and Sauber (both on 10), DPM (1) and Haas (0)

Red Bull and Alpine's point totals are interestingly the driver numbers of their second and leading driver respectively on 2028 championship position.

[sleek shell]

Gentlemen, I have downloaded F1 manager 24

And now to wait until my ass gets home so I can do something about it😭

[fallow breach]

2028 winners so far: (6/16)
Norris 🇦🇺 🇲🇨 🇨🇦
Sainz 🇪🇸
Tsunoda 🇯🇵
Stroll 🇮🇹

[sleek shell]

Sainz in spain

Chunoda in japan

[fallow breach]

DPM's sole point came from Leclerc in Monaco. P10, 2 laps ahead of his brother, 5 behind Lando who won.

Moving onwards to our first of 2 sprint venues in 2028: Austria.

[fallow breach]

2 sprints bc in 2028 in DPMU, all GPs in the Middle East and US got cancelled due to respective economic crashes that impacted the venues of the races to the point they could not hold races there in 2028. As for China's absence, the government were slandering the US on account of the cancellations of their three races, so the FIA took it upon themselves to cancel the Chinese Grand Prix in 2028 as well, hence the only 2 sprints remaining on the calendar are Austria and Brazil

Sprint Qualifying sees Norris and Piastri lock the front row from Russell, Tsunoda, Verstappen, Sainz, Stroll and Charles Leclerc starts in the final points position.

Realistically it'll be them and Albon, Hamilton, and possibly Gasly and Perez looking for the P8.

Norris wins the sprint in Austria from Piastri, then Verstappen, Sainz, Leclerc, Russell, Hamilton and Albon.

[fallow breach]

Austrian GP qualifying

[fallow breach]

George Russell wins the Austrian Grand Prix! Piastri P2, Norris P3. Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Sainz, Hamilton, Stroll, Albon and Perez round out the top 10.

[quaint hare]

Audi career canada race. Gasly spun and took out an alfa. Red flag in lap 3

21 laps left

im luckily on hards. But a lot of others are on mediums

oh. Zhou and Richiardo are out

gasly got a penalty

[floral apex]

hi

[quaint hare]

GASLY AGAIN

Gasly locked up and rejoined unsafely hitting magnusses. Magnussen then lost a wheel and slid into the woc

gasly got 2 5sec penaltys

and dnfed 3 cars

safety car now

[floral apex]

is gasly drunk today

[quaint hare]

yeah

spun out dnfing 2 and red flag. Locked up dnfing 1 and safety car

its only lap 6 btw

[fallow breach]

hello

[quaint hare]

hello

[floral apex]

what was gasly even celebrating after quali lmao

[quaint hare]

Idk. He started p13

wait. Does higher ai mean more ai mistakes? Because ever since i had higher ai the ai made more mistakes

safety car stayed out for 2 laps. Not 3 like usual

[floral apex]

maybe

[fallow breach]

i made the same mistake yet again of turning off the game before saving the race

[floral apex]

i mean gasly driving like a distracted player is basically proof of this lmao

[fallow breach]

so this result doesnt stick

Lights out for the Austrian GP

[quaint hare]

lawson overtook both astons and is now p9

[fallow breach]

And it's T1 with top aggression for DP, crashing into Gasly! DP rejoins P21 with a 10 second penalty looming, as he approaches turn 3 and crashes with his old teammate Cordeel! DP's front right is detached and he's out of the race.

dp what the hell

corner cutting masterclass 💀

[floral apex]

Gasly got involved in a crash in two different saves

[quaint hare]

3 times in total

[fallow breach]

By the end of the Austrian Grand Prix, it's Charles Leclerc on top for Ferrari. P9 on the grid, to the win, to hear the Monegasque anthem, and join his teammate as a race winner in 2028. Another double podium for McLaren as Piastri beats Lando to P2. Then it's Russell, Verstappen, Sainz, Albon, Hamilton, Stroll and Perez rounding out the top 10.

Verstappen scored 16 points in the Austria weekend after having 13 total entering it 💀

Such, Verstappen jumps to P10

Gasly regroups for P11 followed by compatriot Pourchaire, Sargeant, Boschung, Nissany, Hulkenberg, Zhou and Arthur Leclerc.

Arthur was 5 laps down, every other finisher up to Boschung was 1 lap down

Ocon, Tsunoda, DP and Cordeel retire.

[fallow breach]

least he recovers to p11 in dpmu

[quaint hare]

hes p15 for me and us very slow

[fallow breach]

British GP is next up, 4th July 2028. Round 8 of 16, will put us squarely halfway through the season. 8 of 16 GPs and 1 of 2 sprints

Leclerc's contract at DPM ends 4 days after the British GP.

Qualifying in Silverstone sees Norris on pole from Piastri, Russell and Verstappen. Charles Leclerc is P5, Tsunoda 6th, Hamilton 7th, then Sainz, Albon and Stroll.

[floral apex]

in my save gasly struggles to keep up with his teammates

[fallow breach]

Gasly outqualifies Ocon here, P12 vs P14, however in the championship Ocon has a 27-4 lead on points

[quaint hare]

verstappen is still in p12

[floral apex]

Gasly like borderline perez'd in 2025

tsunoda became WDC
Gasly meanwhile finished the season like 4th or 5th

[quaint hare]

my hard tyres are at 45%. And some pthers are on mediums

[fallow breach]

the drivers championship in 2028 is

no lore updates until 11th of January

[frozen thunder]

braking news: Nissan Motorsports have announced a 4 year partnership with Renault E-Tech starting 2027, after the formal split of Nissan and Honda after the end of the 2026 season

how this will affect the structural integrity of my house is unknown

translated from Japanese: “We are excited to announce our 4 year partnership with Renault E-Tech. We’ve really weighed our options and have had talks between Mercedes and Ferrari, but we as a team look for guaranteed reliability and Renault seems to deliver that greater than our options. We expect to deliver with a very competitive car after the 2026 regulation changes, and we hope to carry that through to 2027 with Renault.”

how this will affect my electricity bill is unknown

[floral apex]

ooh renault

prepare to be slow and unreliable /hj

[fallow breach]

ooh goodness

not gonna go well

[frozen thunder]

welp the CEO has the last say

i wanted Ferrari, but it also went to the board and it was basically a draw

[fallow breach]

warm british gp, 26°C temps

Who will win the 2028 British GP?

[quaint hare]

With 2 laps to go Goerge russell gets a engine failure

[fallow breach]

Lights out!

[floral apex]

and away we go!

[quaint hare]

P2 For me

P9 for Lawson

[fallow breach]

DP has retired after taking his own wheel off in a collision with Cordeel. wow.

[fallow breach]

A collision that Amaury survived and went on to finish P15.

[floral apex]

i somehow misunderstood this as him somehow taking off his steering wheel

[quaint hare]

Gasly is last

becazse of the penalties

[fallow breach]

DP was P22, lap 1 DNF. Sargeant DNF later in the race for P21.

Arthur Leclerc P20, 4 laps down

Pourchaire was P14, Cordeel P15, Boschung P16, Nissany P17, Zhou P18 and Hulkenberg P19, all 1 lap down

[quaint hare]

hell yeah. 6th in performance

Now to austria

[fallow breach]

quickly how i'd imagine the commentary for this gp:

"It has been an absolutely sublime drive out on track for the McLaren team, and they will be duly rewarded with another 1-2 finish, but this time it'll be headed by Oscar Piastri, who wins for the first time in 2028 in Silverstone! He becomes the sixth race winner of the year, after Norris, Tsunoda, Stroll, Sainz, and Charles Leclerc. Lando Norris follows in 2nd, and after a very slow start to the season, Max Verstappen returns to the Formula One podium in third!"

[quaint hare]

were 5th in constructors

8th and 15th in drivers

ive got more than double the points that perez has

also charles has a 100% podium rate right now but 0 wins

and 0 fastest laps

lawson is now 86 rated with upgrades

[fallow breach]

So it's Piastri, then Norris, Verstappen, Russell, Tsunoda, Charles Leclerc, Sainz, Hamilton, Albon and Stroll.

[fallow breach]

Perez, Gasly and Ocon are the other 3 on lead lap.

now. time for midseason contract stuff

the dilemma is, leclerc has got DPM's first ever points, yet every race, Monaco included, he was multiple laps behind the leader.

do i resign arthur

[quaint hare]

provisional pile for me. Austria is a track im really good at

[fallow breach]

imagine 😭

[rare robin]

for some reason, if sargeant crashes, my save is locked

i can't change his damaged parts

[quaint hare]

okay sad

km p6

im

lawson p13

[rare robin]

i might have to reduce the race's distance to prevent him from crashing

[quaint hare]

top 4 seperated by 0.039 seconds

[floral apex]

"epic DAS failure"

[fallow breach]

What should i do

[quaint hare]

he got some insane focus

[floral apex]

Retain

[quaint hare]

is this mid season?

[fallow breach]

thinking bout it yeah, the fact he got dpm's first ever point in his home gp is a good pull factor

[fallow breach]

yep

[quaint hare]

keep

[fallow breach]

literally as middle as you can possibly get btw

A season of 16 races 2 sprints, theres been 8 and 1

[floral apex]

the most mid part of the season

[fallow breach]

im thinking ahead whether to make the calendar for 2029 24 or 16 races

Hungary 28

dry quali, dry to wet back to dry race

[fallow breach]

the championship is starting to fan out a bit

mclaren and at a stretch ferrari are getting out ahead of all the rest

aston would possibly be a challenger with better reliability

or more accurately, consistency

both astons have a win, but outside that are mid

yuki's best non-win is p4 twice, stroll's is p5 twice

[quaint hare]

vsc in austria sprint bc lewis divebombed charles and charles broke his front wing. Lewis got a penalty

[fallow breach]

but yuki's worst is a dnf (or 18th if we're talking finishes) and lance's worst is p13 twice

max verstappen now might be setting foot on the gas

[floral apex]

oh so he was barely hitting the gas pedal befoew

[fallow breach]

3 points in the first 4 races, 41 in the last 4 (with a dnf in the mix)

[floral apex]

time for Bahrain

[fallow breach]

what does the 17 mean

[rare robin]

round

[fallow breach]

ah ok

[raven fern]

does this work like IRL or does time beyond the .000 matter?

[frozen thunder]

it’s so funny cause they have the best reliability but their engines blow more times in a season than everyone else’s in at least 4 seasons total

[floral apex]

probably like irl

[frozen thunder]

like every race an alpine has a mechanical fault

[fallow breach]

who will capture pole for the Hungarian gp in 2028?

[raven fern]

me

[fallow breach]

Yuki Tsunoda

[raven fern]

hi

my name is Yuki Tsunoda

why is he on pole

it's only 2025 bruv

williams bros

[floral apex]

the vote on season prize share did not go through

[fallow breach]

Norris is P2, Piastri P3, then Stroll, Sainz, Hamilton, Russell, Charles Leclerc, Albon and Perez round out the top 10. Verstappen is P11, then Gasly, Ocon, Sargeant, Boschung, Cordeel, Pourchaire, Nissany, Zhou, Hulkenberg, Arthur Leclerc and DP.

[raven fern]

[fallow breach]

haas mentioned

[raven fern]

[raven fern]

yipeeee (im currently in my Haas hoodie)

[floral apex]

Ocon is carrying Haas right now

[raven fern]

hard to pronounce

[raven fern]

Gasly literally took pole position with aston in my 2025 season

[floral apex]

the two teams you probably never expected to be P9 and P10 in 2030

[fallow breach]

meanwhile dpmu gasly has 4 points all gotten from australia (the opener)

[floral apex]

P11 is classic backmarker Alpine

[floral apex]

Also i just noticed the haas-williams-audi-williams-haas pattern

[fallow breach]

dpm are p10 still in mine because haas still don't have a point in 2028

[floral apex]

Theyre pointless

[quaint hare]

i got p3

in the sprint

(dont mind the green im only supporting where nico is)

[fallow breach]

hungary is a drunk race. very drunk race.

[floral apex]

Oh.

?

[fallow breach]

Lap 1, DP hits Sargeant, who gets by Perez, who then bumps wheels with DP, but then DP gets sent off by Verstappen behind who goes off with him and rejoins in last. DP on reentry hits the back of Arthur Leclerc, tries to steer around him and goes off, crashing into the wall and retires.

[floral apex]

Insane chain reactiob

[fallow breach]

That car off in the distance is Max, and the one in the wall is DP.

But then

Over the next 69 laps

Verstappen goes on a screamer of a run.

he wins the Hungarian GP.

[floral apex]

wow.

[fallow breach]

P11 on the grid, to P22 in the middle of lap 1, to the win.

Carlos Sainz P2, Esteban Ocon P3.

[floral apex]

even more insane than bruhzil

[fallow breach]

even more insane than canada 27

that was p20 to p1

bro did a checo this time

qualify alright, fall off a cliff and run the field to win

[floral apex]

*fall into a ditch

[fallow breach]

rax perstappen

Anyway, after that insane podium, Verstappen-Sainz-Ocon

Amaury Cordeel P4.

Ralph Boschung P5.

[floral apex]

Barkmarkers at the front!

[fallow breach]

Then Perez, Albon, Hulkenberg, Zhou and Nissany round out the points.

[floral apex]

Wow all 3 barkmarkers in the points

[fallow breach]

and both saubers, the distinct 2nd worst car, in the top 10

Pourchaire P11

Tsunoda P12 from pole

Max lapped Yuki twice.

I'll get into times after the full order tho

[floral apex]

bro max wanted revenge fr

[fallow breach]

Sargeant P13, Norris P14 from P2, then Hamilton P15, Russell P16, Piastri P17, Stroll P18, Charles Leclerc DNF, Arthur Leclerc P20 (but finished), Gasly DNF and DP DNF

[floral apex]

finally the leclercs finish next to each other

[fallow breach]

Sainz was 58.446 behind Max, and Ocon was 1:03.767 behind.

[floral apex]

Sunwest ahh gap

[fallow breach]

Cordeel on downwards were lapped. Cordeel to Nico were lapped once, Zhou to Russell were lapped twice, Oscar and Lance were lapped 3 times, Charles didn't finish, and Arthur was lapped 5 times.

verstappen has went on such a run he is now ahead of Tsunoda in the championship 💀

He's P6, 70 points, a win and a P3.

Lando leads Oscar 143 to 121

Then Sainz on 104, Charles on 88, then Russell on 77.

because nissany got a point, DPM are last again

[fallow breach]

Next GP is Spa. Who's getting pole? Dry quali, wet GP means we could be in for another drunk race depending on DP's aggression

[raven fern]

me

[floral apex]

Anyway its time for Bahrain which means Kenyatta and Van Hoepen will take FP1

Lindblad and Pulling will then take FP1 in the season closing Brazil GP

[raven fern]

ah yes

50 seconds left in FP1

so im making sainz do an outlap so that he can give me 1 driver opinion on settings

[fallow breach]

nobody would know who the hell drives for your team based on fp1 sessions 💀

[floral apex]

i crafted up this system that would allow all of my affiliates to drive an FP1 session whilst minimizing the 'damage' to my main drivers

Which replaces the old system which relied on home races

[fallow breach]

your driver dev programme isnt an affiliation its an army

[raven fern]

hire Kacper Sztuka

[floral apex]

i can't we're packed

[raven fern]

fire someone

[floral apex]

[raven fern]

[floral apex]

Pellegrini gets yet another FP1

[fallow breach]

[floral apex]

[fallow breach]

[fallow breach]

Piastri will be P2, then Charles Leclerc, Norris, Stroll, Verstappen, Tsunoda, Hamilton, Sainz and Russell.

[floral apex]

He does have a seat with VCARB next season

[fallow breach]

Alpine 11-12, Ocon ahead of Gasly. Then Checo, Logan, Pourchaire, Zhou, Cordeel, Nissany, Hulkenberg, Boschung, Arthur Leclerc and DP.

[fallow breach]

True

[floral apex]

Your drivers going 21-22 is like my drivers going 1-2

Its inevitable

[fallow breach]

williams being 1-14 is making me laugh

[floral apex]

[floral apex]

[rare robin]

(lance is p11, just ignore him)

[fallow breach]

Norris finishes P4, then Sainz, Verstappen, Stroll, Russell, Hamilton and Gasly.

Outside the points its Perez, Ocon, Sargeant, Pourchaire, Boschung and Cordeel on the lead lap, Zhou, Hulkenberg and Nissany lapped once, Arthur Leclerc lapped 3 times, then Yuki and DP retiring.

Break number 2 of the season, 30th July to 14th August

Dry quali, wet race in Monza for round 11.

Norris P1, Piastri P2 in quali. Tsunoda and Charles Leclerc 3-4, then Albon, Russell, Sainz, Stroll, Verstappen and Perez.

[red wadi]

Welp I might postpone any lore updates for awhile

Might

[fallow breach]

Lights out for the Italian GP and as usual, DP gets a great run into the braking point, approaches at speed and who's he gone into? It's Max Verstappen!

They go wheel to wheel and they send each other off, and then DP crashes into the wall at speed by the time they reach the Parabolica!

[floral apex]

are hards really this undesirable in Bahrain

[keen brook]

Apparently they are.

Never seen them on the strategy screen either.

It were always only strategies with and .

[floral apex]

I tend to see hards on my strategy screen

But theyre often paired with odd tire choices like softs on default pace

[keen brook]

well, in Bahrain

not in general

[floral apex]

ah

i dont actually remember what it looked like in bahrain 2029

[keen brook]

In Bahrain the strategy screen is literally hard.exe not found.

[floral apex]

I've noticed that in f1 manager drivers always tend to crash in one or two spots at each track

For example Miami has T7/T8
Austria has T10
Hungary has T5 or T9
