we're not a million miles off the back anymore
And he finds out during said side quest
matter of fact, virtanen had the same time as Verstappen, but Max set it after Veikko!
Now Arthur is basically returning to a point of self rediscovery, since he just lost his gf of 10 years
It is a McLaren front row as Frederik Vesti claims pole from Sainz. Gasly is 3rd for Ferrari, then Aston Martin's Tsunoda and Williams' Sargeant.
Guess who won race 1
but yeah virtanen is making progress, he's outqualified max verstappen!
Bearman is still at the back, 2.6 seconds off P21...
Formula E top 3:
- Zane Maloney (LOLA Yamaha)
- Arthur Cambleforth (Porsche) +0.864
- Mick Schumacher (LOLA Yamaha) +0.891
bro became a yamaha sandwich
the team: firing that guy was the best decision we've ever made
everyone screaming at them on media days like "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO IT SOONER"
And then theres Charles
His next employer
charles is at mercedes now
bro must be so happy dp was removed cuz of that confrontation about arthur
oh absolutely
leclercgate was the first of many dominoes that had people calling for DP's job
Aston Martin: Arthur Cambleforth terminates 2028 option
Arthur Cambleforth will not be racing for Aston Martin in 2028, will potentially go to Formula E full time. He is also currently in talks with General Motors for the 2030 Formula 1 season and the 2028-29 Formula E season (under the Lincoln brand), mutual agreement after Arthur terminated the clause. We wish on a good remainder of 2027!
(Post-Canada the lore will be a bit less hectic btw)
Formula E Berlin E-Prix race 2 results
- Mick Schumacher (LOLA Yamaha)
- Pascal Wehrlein (Porsche) +0.007
- Arthur Cambleforth (Porsche) +0.217
imagine if arthur's next relationship wad with my f1 23 save driver

imagine arthur mckinnon as his next name 
Poor Lancelot though
His dad is in Germany, his mom is at home and bro is too young to understand wtf happened
I’ve already cooked something for this, (spoilers for 2028 season:
||They meet during a FE race (McKinnon racing for Alpine, Cambleforth racing for ????) and they basically slowly get feelings for eachother, and they start to talk more with eachother and then Cambleforth confesses bc bro is build like that||
but it’s only a draft for now
I just noticed how my current f1 23 save is awfully similar to my previous one
Me intentionally letting my teammate ahead in order to secure a win
I said spoiler but it ain’t a spoiler bc like I said it’s only a draft, i’m not sure whether Arthur stays in F1 for 2028 or joins a FE team for 2028
Cadillac: Arthur Cambleforth confirmed for 2030
Arthur Cambleforth will officially be driving for the Formula 1 team in 2030, the 2 time top-5 finisher and 1 time Indy 500 winner will be able to race in any class he’d like before 2030
"Frederik Vesti wins the Australian Grand Prix to kick the 2031 season off in style! Pierre Gasly takes 2nd, and we will be hearing the American anthem on the podium for the first time in many a decade, as Logan Sargeant climbs onto the podium for Williams. It's a yellow flag in sector 3 though and look at that - it's Virtanen! He's crashed out mentally and physically, he got run off by Verstappen last lap, and he fell again after a snap to the final turn and he just couldn't handle the rage!"
to summarise:
Virtanen couldnt make up any positions off the start. Despite this, he held P14 all race, acting as an absolute wall to Max Verstappen's every attempt. On lap 4, push came to shove at turn 11 as Verstappen tried to make a move to the inside and shoved Virtanen off track. Verstappen took P14 while Virtanen fell to P20. No penalty for Verstappen.
Final lap, Virtanen was holding his P20, seemingly sulking behind the wheel, when he had a snap of oversteer at the final corners, which let Boschung's Aston Martin through. Then it just.. boiled over for him. The chequered flag was waving at him almost tauntingly, and he drove the car straight into the wall.
man got pissed
Okay if you guys were Arthur, would you race FE for 2 years or try to stay in F1 before 2030?
team radio excerpts:
VIR Lap 4, translated:
"What the f××k man, what is this idiot doing?! Max just fully f××××ng shoved me off! No regard for space! F××××ng ×××××××!"
VER, lap 4:
"s××t. i've sent Veikko off, no?"
"head down Max."
"Is he alright?"
"Positive, he is still racing."
"Copy."
VIR Lap 5:
"no, no no no! Why?! you've got to be f××××ng kidding me! how is this car still such a f××××ng s××tbox?! No, i f××××ng can't. Not a whole season like this. I give it up already." crashes
(yes i did a 5 lap race for the sake of being able to complete it)
F1 clearly ain't working out so I'd try out FE before trying to return to F1
PARC FERME:
"what is happening here? Veikko Virtanen seems to be up out of the car, where is he going? He's not with his team - is he going towards the Red Bull section? He's trying to have one out with Verstappen! It's just like what happened with Schumacher and Coulthard many a year ago!"
"It's a repeat of 1998!"
Yeah, especially since bro is actually the most “huntes” Free Agent in Formula E, no one wants Arthur (F1 teams) since he won’t stay for a long period of time (due to the Cadillac contract), NHRA isn’t really an option, IndyCar maybe but FE is just the most logical and yes he’s currently LOLA’s test driver but he has a clause that gets triggered if a team wants him as a starter
Wait i’ll make a list of the 11 team in FE in this universe
"And it's far from the first altercation Verstappen has been in either, think back to Brazil in 2018 with Esteban Ocon!"
leclerc to dp be like
FORMULA E TEAMS
LOLA Yamaha
Porsche
Andretti
Mahindra
LUCID
Hyundai N
Polestar
Jaguar
Nissan
McLaren
XPeng
Pellegrini Motorsport*
*team joins in 2028
Based on Performance btw
literally a repeat 
question now is how do indlovu handle it?
IP when they realize they hired someone with anger issues
the IP era may not be much better than the DPM era after all
Wait no I forgot a team that’ll join in 2028
they go from an british anarchist to a finn with anger issues 
Updated version
least the anger's directed now instead of at everyone?
they should just hire romeo pellegrini 

VV41 has already got it out for Max
and the 2010s teach you not to mess with mad max
Final lore drop ||and the 3rd contract announcement regarding Arthur in 4 days||
his anger may be in part due to how bad the car still is despite all of IP's improvements
Its been like 2 races man should learn patience 
i think he took the position in round 10 or 11 (/16) in s7
i wanna say round 10 bc i think charles had 1 merc result at the time
veikko's first race was belgium so all i have to do is figure out what round in s7 belgium was
Pellegrini Motorsport: Per Christensen and Arthur Cambleforth to race Formula E in 2028
The Formula 2 driver and the Formula 1 driver will fill the remaining seats for Pellegrini Motorsport, it has been 6 years since Arthur left the company. So welcome back Arthur! The Danish driver (Per Christensen) will race with number 23, where as the Israeli-British driver (Arthur Cambleforth) will race with number 24
plus Australia was the opener of 2031
Perther Christenforth
Hell yeah!
Accidentally perfect 
everyone just slept on logan sargeant getting a podium bc of all the veikko and max shenanigans
like bro snuck his way to p3 somehow
i mean
qualifying p5 helps
but like
still
its logan sargeant
Motorsport fans watching Arthur sign 1.000.000.000.000 different contracts bc he lowkey signs the most random af contracts:
perfect
Arthur Cambleforth’s current contracts:
Formula 1:
Aston Martin (2027)
Cadillac (2030-2034)
Formula E:
LOLA Yamaha (2027, test driver)
Porsche (2027, rookie test, Berlin E-Prix one off)
Pellegrini Motorsport (2028-2029)
IndyCar:
Penske (2027-2030, back up driver)
"So how many contracts do you want signed?"
"Yes"
fr
alr im gonna head to bed now
At leats they nearly all end in 2027
i think i've dropped some pretty good lore tonight
Like Porsche’s over now, he’s officially only a LOLA driver as of now
of course i created yet another schumacher vs coulthard tho
In FE that is
FE is also a good career path cuz its the one series you never looked into in past lore saves
FE is also massively underrated.
night
might end up continuing the Verstappen vs Virtanen stuff or i might create more arcs, it depends
Yup
True
And Arthur has been very open about his love for Formula E
My guys career path is crazy
I fear im about to see gasly fighting for podiums in an alpha tauri in season 2 of F1 2020
F4 -> F3 -> F4 -> F3 -> F1 -> FE -> F1
F3 -> F4 -> F3 -> F1 -> FE -> F1
|-> Other Various Series
Something tells me he got rushed into a series twice, which is kinds insane lol
Oh yeah true, FE could also fit in with Other Various Series (for now) since he isn’t a full timer in 2027. The only reason it’s FE -> F1 at the end because of Cadillac joining in 2030
The only time ive done FE in a game was in RR3 in that series
I’m heavily modding my RF2 for the FE part of the lore😭
Also Shattered Hearts will be the official race suit manufacturer for Pellegrini Motorsport (they’re affiliated with Adidas)
perfect brand name for what arthur went through in that one FE quali session
The fact that it is Arthur’s brand though😭
Bro saw the future ig
i like how my driver has two initials
Officially in the game i have it set to MKI
But on other simracing programs that directly take the first 3 letters its also MCK
MKC
whats with reddawn lores and casual hints to the future lol
Honestly idk😭
Sometimes it’s just coincidence
Shattered hearts is a fire name tho
It sounds like some kind of metal band or something
Haha yeah
You’ll never guess what my fav music genre is
Speed difference is crazy, even with drs he’s quicker
F1 2015’s AI is crazy slow.
Hardest difficulty, in a Marussia, my driving is not the best and yet i had easily P7 pace (got the win because of strategy)
helmet design i might try to use if i could
I made design for all 10 f1 teams
Its just that one recolored with the colors of each team
And also add that you changed the name. I dont think a orange Alpine helmet is good at McLaren
yeah the sponsors change as well
currently in my drawing app only the alpine one actually has sponsors on it
anyone got a link to a discord server with lots of clips to use for free???
btw i have over 800 hours now on f1 23
F1 2015 is cooked
f1 2015 was all over the place
look at this. F1 2015 for ya
Only reason why i might buy f1 2015
Or just pirate it
Aight lads, do we want more lore or wait till I can play again?
Grimsby Times: Angel Evans starts lawsuit against Arthur Cambleforth
Angel Evans has started a lawsuit against Arthur Cambleforth, no details known as of now but it’s rumoured the lawsuit is about Lancelot Cambleforth. Arthur Cambleforth is currently in Canada, where he is currently for the Canadian GP. Arthur has been reported to grow rather close to Julia McKinnon, which might also be in the lawsuit according to BBC.
Julia just randomly catching strays💀
Welp, the fans will either turn on him or join the Cabbey’s
||(It’s all character development tbf, this might turn out as yet an other characteristic misjudgment from Arthur)||
What's the lawsuit over
According to Angel Arthur shouldn’t have been touring the world (leaving her alone with Lancelot) and instead should’ve helped raising Lancelot
Virtanen qualifies P21 in Japan.
Going into Canada
VEIKKO VIRTANEN TAKES PROVISIONAL POLE IN CANADA!
He cannot convert provisional to actual, his team mistiming the run plan, but it's still a career best P3.
characters in my save 🤝 dragging cars to places they really shouldn't be
BBC: Court rules that Lancelot has to live with Arthur Cambleforth, lawsuit continues
The Fornula 1 star has his hands full, this week the british court has ruled that Lancelot should live with Arthur (as requested by Angel Evans). The 23 year old has yet to respond, BBC Sport will ask him questions during the build up for the upcoming Grand Prix. The lawsuit has not been settled yet, as Angel Evans wants £10.000.000 from Arthur Cambleforth and the court has not yet found enough evidence
Qualifying top 5 in Canada:
- Carlos Sainz (McLaren)
- Frederik Vesti (McLaren)
- Veikko Virtanen (Indlovu)
- Max Verstappen (Red Bull)
- Yuki Tsunoda (Aston Martin)
Either Arthur is cooked or he’s gonna get the biggest W in his life😭
Aston Martin will not suspend Arthur Cambleforth until the lawsuit is settled
Well a podium's a podium
...quali podium
Rewinding the clocks slightly to the buildup to Canada:
Indlovu team principal speaks regarding Virtanen
The Indlovu team have made some great advances behind the scenes, starting when the new team principal took over from DP and hired at the time 21-year-old Veikko Virtanen, calling him "a glimmering talent who in conjunction with us at the factory can drastically turn the team around". It seems as though thus far they have, with Virtanen looking speedy in the recent track testing they conducted with the IPR-31 car.
and clearly (back to present) speedy virtanen is
p3, within a couple of tenths of pole
bearman's got a little way to go, being about 6 to 7 tenths off the back/two seconds off pole still
But it's much better than 7 to 10 seconds off pole.
What can Veikko do from 3rd on the grid? He has an established rival alongside - Verstappen, with whom he collided at Albert Park.
i'll change some of the other team details at some point i.e. logo, suit, etc
but yeah
vir/ver beside each other again 🔥
"Lights out and away we go, it's a good start for the McLarens, but look at Virtanen! Verstappen comes alongside him but he's already through on Vesti for 2nd, is he looking to shape a move into turn 2, he is! Veikko Virtanen takes the lead of the Canadian Grand Prix!"
Bit of info about Veikko:
- He comes from Mikkeli
- He speaks Finnish and now a little bit of English
- He was born on the 21st of March 2009 (debuted at the age of 21 in the 2030 Belgian GP)
Pellegrini Motorsport Formula E Team: Arthur Cambleforth will stay contracted, PMFET won’t take action against British-Israeli driver
Romeo Pellegrini has published a statement, in this statement he said the following:
“Regarding the situation around one of our contracted drivers, we won’t follow LOLA, Penske and Porsche in their footsteps and won’t terminate the contract we have with this driver. We decided that the current lawsuit against driver number 24 is not a reason to drop the ball on him and we stay true to our beliefs. The result of the lawsuit will also not affect the current contract situation, nor do the cheating allegations made against him”
"You're watching the battle for the lead, as the Finn is fighting valiantly to fend off the Dane! Virtanen briefly loses the lead to Vesti, but quickly regains it!"
"The McLaren and the Indlovu go wheel to wheel once again in this Canadian Grand Prix, and once again, the 22 year old from Mikkeli is in front!"
Also for those curious: Romeo tried avoiding Arthur’s name because of said lawsuit.
"Frederik Vesti is having car troubles! The man who has been closely brawling with Virtanen for the entire race has now seen Sainz and Verstappen get by!"
"Virtanen pits and comes out cleanly - but his engine's up in smokes! Heartbreak for the man who has been leading for the entire first half of the Grand Prix! Veikko Virtanen will not see the chequered flag once again, but this time he's out from the net race lead! Heartbreak for the team that has been under new management for most of a year, who were looking to finally make their big break!"
i misread this as "Indlovu team principal speaks regarding Vietnam"
virtanen led for the entirety of the first stint, minus about a second in a couple of the laps where one of the McLarens were marginally ahead (which he quickly reclaimed)
but yeah
engine failure.
"Carlos Sainz started from pole, and he will see the chequered flag first, but this has been far from a clean wire to wire victory for Carlos Sainz. He was passed by Virtanen on lap 1, passed by Vesti not long after, but trouble befell Vesti, and took him out of the winners' race, and heartbreak fell upon Virtanen, retiring after an engine failure on lap 10, having led the way up to that point, and the benefactor just so happened to be the polesitter. Once again, McLaren reach the chequered flag, and Carlos Sainz wins the Canadian Grand Prix from Max Verstappen, and it's Charles Leclerc for Mercedes on the last step of the podium!"
bruhhh what could have been for veikko 😭
best ever quali, p3
leads from lap 1
all the way to the pits
man literally did what pierre did in my hungarian gp
from P3 to a DNF
i have a feeling veikko can be quite similar to dp54
while yes he doesnt have a title, and he's not even scored a point yet
that showing in canada shows he can drag the car to places it really shouldn't be yet
who knows
when IP max out and reach midfield or something
maybe veikko could seal wins, podiums, consistent efforts and possibly hunt a title
he really outpaces the car
not gonna use the word 'fluke' for canada but veikko then qualifies p16 in spain
More of an expected position considering the car.
simming spain
Veikko P20
1:15.7 fastest lap, that's not all too far off the other backmarkers
The fastest was 1:13.8 from sainz
development
Thats huge jump
insane stuff
in other news, ex-team principal DP73 has reportedly been arrested for fraud
it aint reddawn lore without a healthy chunk of controversy
But this time there was a build up at least 
Seems like arthur needs to tone down the side quests lol
Bro is currently in a lawsuit as well AND has cheating allegations against him
Remember that PM doesn’t “give cheaters platforms” (performance enhancing products scandal reference)
this is a very different type of cheating tho
It’s all happening in McKinnon’s home country as well💀😭
100% true
Basically 80% of the fanbase (of both F1 and FE) are turning on Arthur Cambleforth, some even calling for Aston and PM to sack him
"Welcome to the Canadian GP!...and Arthur's already in a controversy let's see whats happening down there"
“Oh by the way Julia, you somehow ended up in said controversy”
"what the fuu"
Formula 1: Free Practice suspended due to weather
"the f1 academy driver probably won't be too happy about this"
Poor Julia just did a FE rookie test, talked with Arthur and suddenly Angel Evans thinks Arthur cheated on her😭
Also 1 mayor lore updates dropping later, and 1 smaller after that
Veikko P11 in the Austria sprint
Guys why everyone choices alfa Romeo even If it is not a good car in F1 23?
cuz challenge
its more fun making your way up from the bottom than starting at the top
Ye i won 4 Races with it
I won 10 minutes ago interlagos on rain pressured by Red bull
But i make extra good overtakes @floral apex
BBC Sport: What does Arthur’s clothing choice for Canada mean in terms of the lawsuit?
Arthur Cambleforth has been seen wearing Julia McKinnon’s merch for the Canadian GP, Julia will make her F1 debut in Canada because Esteban Ocon is out with an injury. The Formula 1 Academy will also race in Canada. Arthur said in an interview that he and Julia “had become best of friends after Formula E, and that they are the type of friends who support eachother every week.” According to a furious Angel Evans it’s just a “pisspoor attempt at getting attention”, Julia was recently seen wearing Arthur merch during the Monaco GP
mcmahon?
is your autocorrevt drunk or something?
Ayo autocorrect
Arthur McMahon is my WWE 2K24 character 😭
Wrong character 
I think your autocorrect is a little too excited for the f1 launch event in a few hours 
P11 in the sprint, and qualifies P12 for the full GP.
Aston seeing Arthur wear a Alpine cap:
But surprisingly, sprint winner Verstappen is P14!

Bearman still P22, but he's now just 1.38s away from pole!
"No hard feelings guys"
probably not either of the IPs unless they get extremely lucky
virtanen might
Tbf I doubt Aston care anymore, they basically just want to avoid getting tangled up in everything (same goes for Alpine)
lets see
oh wait
random thing
arthur Leclerc qualified p11
in the sauber
hmm
Verstappen is P14 and Virtanen is better again
Julia either gonna cook for Alpine or it’ll be her only time in F1 lol
i mean it depends on how good the car is
The straights are gonna be a killer
Tbf in the ACU she’s in both F1A and FE (as Alpine’s test driver for 2027, full time in 2028), but yes you’re right
I can play in like 3 days, so after the next mayor lore there won’t be any updates
sauber became toro rosso 2
It's lap 5 in inter-wet Austria, Veikko Virtanen started P12, any guesses on where he is now?
P8
P5
crazy R&D chart
this driver is indeed british
some onboard video
i tried to make
its so unprofessional 😭
Now it's lap 10, Virtonen was P3
Currently battling Tsunoda for P2
He got the place - but he's been spun!
Red flag on lap 11!
Norris has a 5 second penalty for crashing Oscar Piastri out.
i love just thr straight line in the middle
Virtanen restarts P4.
He got his wing absolutely clattered in the incidents, but didn't get taken out.
bro cant make an overtake without spinning
no, he got spun by (i think) russell
A few corners after Veikko got past Yuki (Russell followed Veikko through)
Anyway.
"We go to five red lights for the restart in Austria after the red flag..."
"Race on once again! Virtanen gets an incredible start, Tsunoda seems to have gone into anti-stall! Veikko Virtanen is through into turn 1. Vesti leads from Sainz, Virtanen, Norris and Tsunoda as we come down to turn number 3, can Veikko get a look, he can! Veikko Virtanen is having an incredible run, being saved by the red flag, up into P2 and is now chasing Frederik Vesti, down to turn 4, has a look to the inside, and VEIKKO VIRTANEN LEADS A GRAND PRIX FOR THE SECOND TIME!"
"So through the middle sector on lap 13 of 18, it's Virtanen from Vesti doing battle once again, then Sainz, Norris with that penalty over him for colliding with Oscar Piastri before the red flag, then Tsunoda had an awful start and is P5 from Russell, Charles Leclerc, Théo Pourchaire, Arthur Leclerc, and Zhou rounds out the top 10."
ight cue the engine failure
ffs why did you have to jinx Veikko's race
this time fred crashed him out
not even engine troubles
bruh another rollercoaster race for veikko
WHAT THE FUCK
0.003
yep
literally right down to the wire
and of course russell benefits from veikko's race ending crash
lando must have been like p5 on the road tho
right with those top 4
bc that 6.5 gap is after adding the penalty
drivers championship going crazy rn btw
1
Sainz 116
2
Tsunoda 115
3
Vesti 75
4
Verstappen 61
5
C. Leclerc 61
6
Russell 60
Nah bro this game is so bad i was on 1 and then at the pit the game putted me on p17 or p18 and then i was like p7 after a overtake and after everyone has come to pits wtf
I finished p5
virtanen has been cleanly on position for two wins which he's had taken from him
canada was lost to veikko's engine
and now austria bc frederik vesti got too touchy
i made sunwest racing in trackmania
holy sh i ferl like a megamind now
Checo was like 0.2s behind Carlos ( I was driving as Charles) so I decided to slow down and let Carlos have drs
and pulled double ferrari podium
i'm gonna sim silverstone and hungary
i'll do quali to see where virtanen sits
but yeah then i'll sim the races
one race i do want to do tho is belgium bc that'll be 1 season on from veikko's debut in f1
Current R&D headed to Silverstone
OLLIE BEARMAN OUTQUALIFIED VEIKKO BY 5 THOUSANDTHS.
its a 19-20 which im kinda annoyed about
considering into the last complex i was 1 second up on my first time
lost two tenths of that somehow
and only went up to p17
only to get shuffled and somehow outqualified by ollie bearman who finally gets off p22
the IPs finish 20 and 21, Veikko P20
(we beat cordeel)
barely.
2023 mid season McLaren ahh upgrades
firing DP was best decision
absolutely
seemed like Verstappen was Virtanen's biggest enemy but as the season's gone on, it seems more like it's Vesti
Verstappen can kinda be let off the hook for the crash in Australia
it was only for P14
but vesti in Austria??
bro cost veikko a race win
Yeah vesti is worse
Verstappen caused a full on crashout while vesti.. well we don't know what went on in virtanen's radio after that one
I had to reduce the quality by a lot to send this
Currently halfway through the Redbull series in Real Racing 3
I spun out 💀
I like how all of the drivers involved have a last name starting in V
Virtanen, Verstappen and Vesti
very coincidental
very coincidental indeed
virtanen was named (no joke) by a random name generator
Verstappen and Vesti then happen to be the people his most notable crashes happen with
also interesting how the most crucial one was between two Scandinavians
(Virtanen vs Vesti)
F1 Gamers. How many liveries will stay unchanged and how many will be shit?
what was virtanens number again
41
if your last name starts in V, steer clear of the indlovu-pacifico with #41 on the front
that 41 can also be the answer to the second question
41/10 
yep
one for each individual driver, and 1 backup per driver per team (plus another one that mclaren get as reigning champs)
but its like fortnite br cosmetics: no competitive advantage 
some predictions: Red Bull stays the same
Aston stays Green
10 Liveries will be revealed 
williams will have even more sponsors on it
another question to pose, how many of the 10 teams will have carbon fiber dominant liveries, and why is the answer 11
id say 4
just a wild guess here, sauber will also be green
3 minztes left
there's gonna be a few blue cars
also somehow my clock switched from 55 to 57
atleast 1 car will be ferrari
Yall also watching the stream?
its on youtube if you dont btw
the broadcast is literally looping the f1 theme 
good im watching without sound
Oh my god perfect timing
The song ended the second it hit 00:00
"he is so excited to be here"
Max: bruh why am i here
I enjoyed every bit of these jokes.
Max looks like hes forced to be happy
which livery do you guys think is best of the ones revealed so far?
F1 24 and F1 Manager 24 modders gonna go hard after today 
prepare for a whole bunch of livery mods to pop up within the next week or 2
probably one or 2 weeks and we're going to have 2025 livery mods for f1m24, f1 24 and f1 23
im playing f1 24 and watching/listening to f175 at the same time
Veikko Virtanen (in game) qualified P22 and finished P17 in Hungary, with Bearman going from P19 to P18.
THAT IS WILD
We got a problem
WHAT IS THAT TRANSFER
huh
team swap 
Vesti went McLaren to VCARB, Norris went VCARB to Red Bull and Verstappen went Red Bull to McLaren 
in other news IP arent last on r&d any more
you know what that means
eventually Max will go to VCARB, Norris will go back to McLaren and Vesti will end up at Red Bull
and thats about as far as you'll get so far it looks like
Vesti's history in F1:
S6: Debuts at Red Bull, gets dropped midseason
S7: free agent first half, gets signed to Ferrari for the second half
S8: moves to McLaren, then VCARB midseason
OH WAIT
max to mclaren means versainz reunion!!
lol
thats kinda funny
sainz is valued at 32.32m in the market
Albon
and Tsunoda
are on the highest, at 36m
this also happens to be the first time in any career save i've done on f124 that max moves teams
Welp time for the lore to drop
Red Bull: Red Bull terminates contract with Arthur Cambleforth
Red Bull has decided to terminate the Red Bull Academy contract of Arthur Cambleforth in the light of the current controversy surrounding Arthur Cambleforth
what the fuck. why.
veikko was running P7. P7.
wing broken, overtaken by albon and Verstappen. have to change wing in pits, chance of points is gone.
come out behind arthur Leclerc in a sauber. Struggle to catch the sauber. Finally reach and overtake him.. or not, he fully stopped me from turning.
Off to the wall and out.
part 3 of "this game takes every opportunity away from me"
and of course that has to be the marker for a year in f1
1 year in and still struggling to keep up in a car that isn't even the worst any more.
and to rub it in, ollie bearman gets p15 and moves up into p20 in the championship
while veikko is still struggling for anything better than p17, and is p22 in the championship.
honestly gonna sim a couple of races
this is getting ridiculous.
bearman p14, veikko p15
bearman qualified p11 in the car i'm struggling to haul around the circuit in good time to threaten the alpines.
sidenote verstappen wins for mclaren at home in Zandvoort
maxed out.
Italian GP Qualifying:
Veikko P10
Ollie P14
Result: Ollie P12, Veikko DNF
Alpine: Arthur Cambleforth joins Alpine Academy
Arthur Cambleforth will join the Alpine Academy from 2028 onwards, the current F1 driver and future Formula E driver will race with Alpine’s logo on his helmet from Silverstone onwards
hmmm 🤔
The only hope of seeing him in a Alpine is 2035 lmao, except if Cadillac end their contract due to the lawsuit
bruh. Singapore, veikko p22 -> dnf, ollie bearman p19 -> p12
And that would only happen if he loses his lawsuit and confesses to the cheating allegations
BRO ABOUT DAMN TIME
VEIKKO VIRTANEN P7
comes at the cost of bearman dnf from p14 but oh well
Which would set off a chain reaction of Arthur’s sponsors leaving
His sponsors are currently:
University of Lincoln
Visit Lincolnshire
Visit Israel
Alpine
IsrAir

Not a lot but Arthur does come from a upper-class family after all
Which yes, he still denies
I am new to Discord

Las Vegas. The final race of S8
Virtanen has struggled in qualifying outside that one P3 in Canada.
Carlos Sainz is champion for McLaren.
A CLOSING STATEMENT FOR THE SEASON. VEIKKO VIRTANEN WILL START ON POLE UNDER THE LIGHTS IN VEGAS.
With the very man who crashed him out back in Australia for P14, Verstappen, alongside him. But things are different. Verstappen's moved to McLaren, the IPR-31 has seen great developments that has brought it into competitive range, and has taken Virtanen to three straight top 10 finishes.
What better way to seal off the season than old rivals head to head at the front?
Las Vegas quali result:
Virtanen P1
Bearman P14
Naturally in a midfield car, Virtanen cannot maintain pole. He falls to P6. However, that is still Virtanen's best race finish ever.
Really?
Sainz wins the title and just.. leaves.
the slot is taken by Lando Norris
so bro's just gone from mclaren to VCARB to red bull back to mclaren??
now this time max is his teammate??
damn arthur really going at it there
lando couldnt handle not being at mclaren 
He took the full red bull career path and decided "nah id go back to mclaren"
All changes:
Sainz retires
Norris back to McLaren
Hulkenberg to Red Bull
Nissany to Sauber
Hauger [R] to Haas
Iwasa [R] to Alpine
Cordeel out of a seat
he did a rosberg

Good evening! I’m from Brazil and a beginner in F1 2024.
I need some tips for beginners in F1 2024. I’m playing Career Mode and want to start in F2 realistically. I’d like advice on settings, game mechanics, and explanations of different features like R&D, etc. Where can I find this information?
I play on PS5 using a controller
you can find a lot of useful information especially on YouTube. RnD i csn already say you would want to go for weight reduction and drag reduction upgrades first and in f1 24 also ERS upgrades
theres this cool f1 manager 24 "2025 DLC" people are making which will consist of the 2025 liveries and suits and stuff
Lewis Hamilton takes home the win in Bahrain for our first ever race!
Ollie Bearman finishes in P13.
Solid start to an amazing team!
And I forgot to post,
But here is the MR-1
the better sauber livery that looks good
full wets at zandvoort
esteban locked up and almost pushed me into a wall
qualified 11th at zandvoort
esteban is from a western country. Westeban
Bro Sargeant was 1 on saudi Arabia for a lap 😭
I wonder if it will include 2025 car performance as well.
And as it's called "DLC" I also wonder if it will be for free.
Ferrari is the secons team to get an F1M livery mod
Its appears to be a collection of mods by multiple users on overtake.gg
the 4 goats of lore drivers that are just in my f1m save
yup. He integrated him for the funni
yooooo
you can just ask @red wadi about that lol
so when is veikko virtanen gonna make an appearance somewhere else
Would be funny if i put the 2025 liveries on all applicable teams in my save for 2033
YES
So that would be all teams except Audi, Williams, Haas and Alpine
in the lore i have Alpine with Orlen instead of BWT and Williams with BMW
Audi is obvious
Haas I just kinda want to keep the prominent Toyota feature
Red Bull and VCARB can go back to Honda it can be new lore
imagine veikko virtanen became an affiliate for one of the teams
PER IN ALPINE
I know, I had a lore based save and Romeo was the fictional son of said president
Potential changes Arthur will have in Silverstone:
British -> Israeli
RedBull/AM - > Alpine/AM
I just had him there cuz they already had a guy in my save named Per Jensen
idk what team veikko would affiliate to tho
So i changed Jensen to Christensen
Even the correct face lmao
Tbf Arthur is all over the place
Now that was all just the game lmao
I didnt bother changing the faces when i added McKinnon and Christensen
Anyway finally progressing in the save with Imola
GPFans: Cadillac will terminate Arthur's contract, here's why
Cadillac might want to avoid controversy, so it'll be smart to terminate Arthur's contract due to all the controversy surrounding him. According to Cadillac CEO Meyer he won't take action but we don't believe that
"Here's why" bro made an analysis piece
In terms of championships for my save
Pellegrini is in F1
Christensen is in F2
McKinnon and Cambleforth are both in F3 (somehow fitting)
Even your game is shipping them ig
Tbf it's GPFans so...
Basically every F1 related newspaper is turning on Arthur
BBC: Arthur Cambleforth wins lawsuit, just 3 hours before Free Practice.
The British court has ruled that Arthur Cambleforth had not been in the wrong regarding Lancelot’s caretaking, Lancelot will now live with Arthur in Tel Aviv and his vacation house in Ottawa
the database editor actually has a page for the "2025 season DLC" so I assume itll be compiled here when complete
if thats the name of the canadian capital then you spelled it with an o in the middle instead of an a lmao
Ottowa isn’t correct?
Woops

Now the only allegation against bro is the cheating allegation
which is the second thing that could fully make or break arthur's career
Yep, if he confesses it’ll definitely damage his career
Eliminated in Imola Q1: Ocon, Fournier
, Albon, Russell, Lawson, Gasly
Eliminated in Imola Q2: Bearman, Iwasa, Stroll, Sainz
, Maloney, Doohan
the 3 Ps 
Final Q3 Results: Pulling, Verstappen, Pellegrini, Pourchaire, Tsunoda, Piastri, Sasaki, Antonelli, Hauger, Vesti
So wait, did Arthur cheat? Or was it just rumours?
allegations
interesting how in the cutscenes, Max's helmet will show the original design on top of the team design
i'm sure its similar for other current drivers
Lawson is missing a front wing
and Albon is also off
Lawson got a penalty
I think he was the one that hit Albon off cuz Albon had some rear wing damage
the rain has fallen and this is the order after the switch to inters
Lawson is the first lapped driver
Pelley is barely holding on to P3
he has engine issues
he's cooked
its his engine
yeah hes cooked
Maloney is the next lapped driver
Gasly is the third lapped driver
Pellegrini has just been lapped
the red bulls are also cooked
Abbi Pulling wins the Imola GP!
this is only our third 1-2 this season
oh yeah a couple of vegas team radios from virtanen + race finish commentary
VIR - end of quali
"And chequered flag, Veikko, chequered flag."
"Where are we, Si?"
"just pending a couple of drivers.. Veikko Virtanen, you are on pole position!"
"You're serious? Pole?? Let's go!!"
VIR: Race finish
"Ahhh!! Wraps for the season! Where did we finish? I know we got passed a couple of times.."
"Okay, that's P6, Veikko, P6. Careful on the way in, wave to fans if you want, but take it easy with the car."
"Eh, not the best, considering I had pole.. but what can you do? We move along. Could've had multiple wins, but it wasn't to be."
"Still an incredible season, Veikko, absolutely brilliant stuff, you've taken this car to heights we have never seen it. Thank you very much, now ahead to '32!"
"Ahead to 32 indeed."
time for Monako
"We come towards the end of a brilliant season, that has concluded with a brilliant fight once again under the lights, and it will end with Max Verstappen claiming a fifth win for McLaren, as he takes the final corner to see the chequered flag first! Oscar Piastri follows in 2nd for Ferrari, and Aston Martin's Yuki Tsunoda is third. Lando Norris is 4th, Charles Leclerc is 5th, and Veikko Virtanen - a man who has absolutely dragged the Indlovu car up into unprecedented positions this season, who has challenged for wins in Canada and Austria, and who finally qualified at the head of the field here yesterday, will not convert pole position to race victory, however sixth place is still his best finishing position in the year and a half he has been in the sport!"
worst corner ever: uphill, off camber, bumpy

Russell gets the first pole of 2032! Veikko Virtanen will start alongside.
Vesti took P4 in the VCARB and Verstappen's McLaren is P8.
"2032 in Formula One will be underway once the five red lights go out. Russell starts in pole, and Virtanen is alongside, the Indlovu wonderkid from Mikkeli. Who will come out on top in Bahrain? The season begins now!"
Lap 4, Virtanen leads from Russell, Leclerc, Gasly, Norris, Verstappen, Vesti, Sargeant, Tsunoda and Boschung.
the track water dipped below 1mm for like 3 minutes and all of the AIs just charged out on slicks lmao
LAP 12/14
Veikko Virtanen is on track to become just the sixth Finnish driver to take to the top step!
Russell P2, Verstappen P3
how funny would that be
Maloney mustve had a component change cuz he stayed in the pits for 30 minutes before getting his first laps in
if the end animation is veikko handshaking verstappen???
like do ea know the BEEF these two have??
i mean considering how max has been with his past rivals, it wouldnt be surprising
off track max seems pretty chill even with his closest on track rivals
but of course DTS wont accept that
yep
obviously
dts is just "omg two cars got close on track, the drivers must absolutely want blood now!!!"
i heard at the postseason dinner the drivers had
They tried to force george to sit next to max
max was pretty chill abt it, george moved the chair to where lewis was
yeah
it actually did happen as well 
podium
"Sorry for forcing you off that one time... you deserve this"
the odds of all 4 lore drivers appearing in an FP1 session for my save at the same time this season is really low
but imagine if it happened
it probably wouldnt be too low
if my plans didn't ensure it could only happen once this seaaon
commentary:
"You are witnessing a historical moment in Formula One. Only five drivers hailing from Finland have ever won a Formula One Grand Prix, but here, driver number six, is a man who has only scored points on four occasions in Formula One, in the last four rounds of 2031 consecutively - a man who has a previous best finish of 6th, but a man who has nonetheless come out swinging in 2032, Veikko Virtanen comes around the final corner to win the Bahrain Grand Prix! That's his first win, his first podium, and the Indlovu team are roaring on the pit wall, for their first podium and first win as well!"
Finnish commentators, translated:
"FINAL SECTOR, FINAL LAP, VEIKKO.. IS HE GOING TO DO IT?? TWO WINS DENIED, CANADA TO THE ENGINE, AUSTRIA TO VESTI, BUT WHO'S STOPPING HIM TODAY? NOBODY! RUSSELL TRIED, BUT VIRTANEN.. FINAL CORNER... VIRTANEN IS A WINNER!!"
we got quite a bit of rain
This marks Veikko's first time for:
- Win
- Podium
- Double digit points
- World Championship lead
theres a first for everything
Bro saw n opportunity and got all of them at once lol
remind me what mckinnon's s1 was like
Eight constructors scored.
Saudi quali
Bearman P12
Virtanen P21
GP:
Veikko P8 + FL
Ollie P11
Verstappen wins in Jeddah.
One more thing i wanted to do from Bahrain
BAHRAIN 2032 COOLDOWN ROOM: Veikko Virtanen and Max Verstappen discuss Australia 2031 incident, 'are on better terms now', say both.
VV: celebrating the win, having a drink
MV: Hey, congrats man! You were clear in front out there.
VV: thanks. Means a lot from you, Max [laughing]
MV: yeah, i know. i was in a different place in that Red Bull last year. Now look at me. 5 wins in papaya, and a few more podiums to boot including this one! [also laughing]
VV: I mean, it's crazy how a year can change us from scrapping over P14 to sharing a podium.
MV: Congrats again, by the way. I saw your races in Canada and Austria last year, it was only a matter of time before you finally made it.
VV: honestly, i think Fred (Vesti)'s a bit worse in my books for that Austria hit!
they both laugh
MV: Guess I helped you by taking his place at McLaren, huh? The VCARB wasn't competitive and that was where he got put.
VV: laughing guess you did!
Interesting perspective on the midseason shuffle between Silverstone and Hungary there btw
estie bestie
Australian GP will 'test the true reconciliation of Max and Veikko', IP principal says
improved livery
also i just noticed F1 Manager thinks theres a channel of water between the pit lane and the track between T16 and T17

Eliminated in Monaco Q2: Vesti, Fournier, Stroll, Sainz, Russell, Albon
Russell did not set a time due to a crash in Q1
Sainz did not set a time due to a crash in Q2
Albon did not set a time as he never went out to track
full article:
Australian GP will 'test the true reconciliation of Max and Veikko', IP principal says
The public-eye insight into the cooldown room after Virtonen's win back in Bahrain paints the picture that Verstappen and Virtanen have made up for their past troubles and rivalry that only really showed in Australia of 2031 where a crash on lap 4 resulted in a domino effect that culminated in Virtanen crashing just before the chequered flag and engaging in an altercation with the Dutchman, for which both parties were fined €5,000 for social misconduct.
However, the team principal of the Indlovu-Pacifico team, as appointed in the overhaul in 2030, 53-year-old Brit Hadley Koster has stated that conclusions cannot be made so quickly based solely on a cooldown room that showed amicable relations between the former foes. Koster suggested that any assumption of reconciliation between Verstappen and Virtanen should be held off until after the Australian Grand Prix - a race that marks a year since the incident that set the rivalry alight.
Monaco Q3 Results: Pulling, Verstappen, Pourchaire, Bearman, Piastri, Tsunoda, Pellegrini, Iwasa, Antonelli, Lawson
Niceee
no joke btw when i generated the character, koster's dob was the 25th of december 
Wet qualifying in Australia
Ollie is wippin this car
ooo
Im cutting Ollie some slack for his first season, I know what areas he needs to improve in and im just to work with him.
Luckily Hamilton is good for us now, but i want ollie to be my teams future
I got Hamilton focusing on our car development
order after 21 laps
Australia quali:
Veikko P8 (+0.478 from pole)
Bearman P17 (+1.393)
Verstappen is P2.
i feel like i just executed a perfectly timed double stack
P8 is not ideal.. only improved half a second after being up by as much as 1.1 at times.
Was sitting P13 before the improvement
Same sort of ballpark as 2031 at the time
Yep i just got a perfectly timed double stack
Both 1.8s as well
Any race predictions (15 laps)
gasly be thinking he's at sauber
Wait
Maloney ans Bortoletto at ferrari. MalBor
:0
imagine
or Browning would be better. MalBro
P7 and P12
a few crashes have occured but nothing major
bearman p10, Virtanen forced into a dnf on lap 2
Okay Arthur might’ve cooked himself
guess the positions of these two cars
its gonna be shocking but is it bc the vcarb is high or the sunwest being low?
...p5 and p6?
the VCARB is P7
the Sunwest is P1
damnnn
and it took another 4 laps for max to lap pelley
Mostly need it for the lore
Pierre... how
bro's doing the reverse of pushing
he has no engine problems and no damage
also
neither of my drivers are actually pushing right now
arthur is either the cheekiest guy ever with that remark or he's doing the ultimate foreshadowing move
sometimes the gaps to the walls surprise me
This is gonna split up to the opinions so much, like some fans are already pointing the finger to his upper-class upbringing
Only time will tell👀
Abbi Pulling takes a dominant victory here in Monaco!
Alex Albon in P21 is the second to take the flag
Max Verstappen comes home in second to seal another Sunwest 1-2
Romeo Pellegrini is next to take the flag in P7, followed by his teammate Liam Lawson in 8th
Vesti scores Mercedes' first points of the season in P9
followed by Sasaki and Fournier for Aston Martin and Williams respectively
Hauger takes P12 for Alpine and just behind him is Ollie Bearman who rounds out the podium
his teammate Carlos Sainz takes P13 followed by Stroll, Ocon, Antonelli and Iwasa
Pourchaire and Piastri take P4 and P5, followed by Doohan in P18, Russell in P19 and Maloney in P20
Pierre Gasly comes home in P22, and just behind him Yuki Tsunoda in P6
no VSC, SC or red flag at all here
i basically just watched Monaco 2024 but without any red flags and with pit stops
even the main cabbey is turning
At least bro still has Cabbey United😭
for now
He might be more hated than Nikita💀
gasly was so far back in my monaco race that even tho he was only lapped twice, he was the second to last driver to cross the line
Watch all of em return if bro didn’t cheat
"we didn't know it was all lies!!"
My English aint Englishing
I like how the 4 lore drivers i have in my save are all on different teams
Arthur has the messiest contract situation ever
He’s in F1 for 2027, he will be in F1 for 2030, but he won’t be in F2 for 2028 and 29
And in both series he’s competing AGAINST the team who has him in their academy
arthur chaosforth

i like how the first major controversy in cambleforth lore is potential cheating + family issues
meanwhile the first major controversy for pellegrini was the FIA forgetting how the points system worked
Two very different vibes
One decided a championship
The other could decide a man's entire career
Tbf Cambleforth is huge prick bts, Pellegrini was a chill guy
Yes, i’m playing a bitchy character for once
its a good thing arthur doesnt have an entire country backing him 
oh and the 2025 mclaren livery for F1M just dropped
No but he does have the University of Lincoln backing him, and they’re slowly regretting that bc Arthur is literally the most unmarketable driver ever
^
I think now is the right time to properly use the term "national embarrassment"
I would prefer the term “national prick”
I’ll start doing more bts stuff
I think you guys will like Arthur less and less over time
Don’t know how this guy ended up with Julia but oh well
So is he now with Julia?
i need a little clarity on the timeline here
ik angel broke up over the sidequests
then the allegations
BBC: Aston Martin ignored 100+ complaints about Arthur Cambleforth, says ex-Aston Martin pit crew member
The pit crew member, who wished to stay anonymous (even in gender), said that Aston Martin ignored more than 100 complaints made about Arthur Cambleforth. They also said that they suffered Arthur’s attitude toward themselves after they made a mistake during a test pitstop during the Australian GP. Aston Martin decided not to answer the BBC
Angel broke up with -> allegations-> lawsuit win for Arthur -> McKinnon and Cambleforth come to Canadian GP wearing each other’s merch -> ex Aston Martin employee says that Aston Martin ignored 100+ complaints about Arthur
So no, he’s not officially openly with Julia yet. It’s just a bit obvious
What does the Aston ignorance mean in terms of Arthur and Julia's relationship if anything?
Basically just an Aston ex employee trying to cancel Arthur
That’s the timeline
fair
It was WAY less messier in my notes, but the vacation kinda messed it up
Understandable
I mean everyone is trying to cancel Arthur at this point, his public image went from “the impossible return” to “what a prick” and like I said to Canada i’ll show a lot more bts stuff to show what a prick he truly is
so basically the goal is to make arthur into the next mazepin
Well kinda I guess, the only thing being that Arthur is basically a ticking time bomb of emotions in the car
And that Arthur is actually a decent driver
Remember that this guy ruined a relationship of 10+ years bc he wanted to chase motorsports more than spend time with his gf
I was gonna say watch him ruin his relationship with julia but i realised he prioritises motorsport and they met through motorsport
Ofcourse Angel overreacted with that lawsuit but oh well

They’ll be in the same class aswell next year, so it has to been insane bottle if he ruins this
Well in a way you could say Arthur and Angel also damaged Lancelot’s youth
Let’s not forget that Lancelot is 1 year old😭
my 2033 season is gonna look an awful lot like 2025 
bro we're going to lose 8 current drivers to retirement within the next 3 seasons
sainz, leclerc and gasly after 2033
stroll and verstappen after 2034
albon, russell and ocon after 2035
Friday I can play again (I hope), AFTER Canada a BIG lore drop will happen
norris and zhou after 2036
and we've already lost hamilton, alonso, bortoleto, hadjar, hulkenberg, bottas, ricciardo and perez
sargeant and colapinto retire after 2041 and 2042 respectively if they get a seat
piastri, lawson and tsunoda retire after 2037
bearman in 2042
doohan in 2040
antonelli in 2044
so thats basically where the entire 2024/25 grid is at by 2032 in my save
Also Julia will drop an interview she did in about 30 minutes, I’ll obviously only show the lore important bits
so basically by 2036 the grid will look completely different with new faces and new drivers
Heres how things are in the DPM->IPU (DPM turned into IP):
- DP73 is a reckless owner driver who refuses to develop the car
- DP73 sees poor results and pays the FIA to exclude the team from graphics for the first few seasons instead of actually doing something about the issue
- DP73 eventually gives up the pay thing and goes on a rampage of anyone and everyone
- for 2028 they sign Arthur Leclerc, turning Charles' head.
- mistreatment. no development still.
- midseason 2029 it all boils over. British GP, Charles Leclerc storms to the DPM garage and demands DP to remove Arthur... who goes to sauber.
- DPM get reprimanded heavily by the FIA for that and sink into irrelevance (my explanation for the sim save status it took on for a while)
- after Hungary S7 (2030) the board finally lose confidence in DP and fire him by unanimous vote from both owner and driver position.
- Hadley Koster takes over, signs a naming deal with Indlovu and signs Veikko Virtanen to the team.
- IP proceed to have a meteoric rise through the r&d standings in 2030-31.
- meanwhile: Australia 2031, Verstappen crashes out Veikko for P14
- canada, veikko qualifies p3 and leads halfway before engine failure.
- Austria, starts P12, gets to P2 before crashing to P4 - 🟥 restart, he gets the lead before being crashed out by Vesti.
- first points in mexico (p7)
- first pole in vegas 31, finishes p6.
- bahrain 32, veikko goes p2-p1 for his maiden win and podium.
goddamn.
plus bahrain 2032 max and veikko reconcile
i like how it took the board 7 years to finally fire DP
but in F1M it would be all over in two seasons or even less 
i mean i did a 'sim save' in f1m, creating a team as dpm and i was already fired by s1 end
haas was like the only team that wanted me aside from maybe sauber?
probably bribed them to keep him around as well 
bro ran out of money after 6 years of bribing 
Koster has done an absolute world of good for that team tho spearheading the overhaul fr
hes basically ayao komatsu
literally except his team has a win under their belt now
I find it funny how this lore has essentially had the same thing happen to the same team on 2 different sides of the altercation within a matter of a few years
i still remember that meme at the start of 2024 when williams revealed their car and haas were like "why do you have our team principal's name on your car" as a joke

here it is
🇬🇧2029: Leclerc storms to DPM garage to fight DP to pull Arthur out of the team
🇦🇺2031: Virtonen storms to Red Bull garage/parc ferme section to fight Verstappen over crashing him out unjustly
The Formula Podcast: Julia McKinnon on Arthur Cambleforth and more
TP: Hello ladies and gentlemen, i’m Tyler Power and today my guest is Julia McKinnon!
JM: Hello guys! I’m Julia McKinnon and you might know me from F1A and FE.
TP: So Julia, we’ve been talking about your personal life a lot now. So, you and Arthur, how do you see the recent developments on Arthur?
JM: first, he never cheated, no way. Second, Arthur is the kindest, funniest guy I know. Everyone is just trying to be hip and cancel him.
TP: well it seems like those 100 plus complaints has actually been made, several ex-workers have come forward….
JM: he’s a bit of a hot head in the car, but that’s fine. Look at 90’s F1 legend DP, he was a hot head and no-one tried to cancel him. It’s all just a bunch of bs, believe me, Arthur is not a piece of upper-class junk
Julia walks away in pure frustration
at least it wasnt autocorrect putting the wrong surname on the main character


Okay but this interview is basically Julia confirming that they’re together😭🙏
"90s legend DP"
someone got that one schumacher clip mixed up with DP's 'legacy'
this sounds like a combination of xenon DP and dpm DP 

as i said, the schumacher-coulthard moment has repeated twice in the DPM->IP save
Maybe VV will also make a cameo, who knows. I kinda have to cook 20 names for FE
virtanen will probably crop up
if i had a nickel for every time someone stormed in or out of the DPM garage, i'd have two nickels
which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice
i mean VV went for max straight from the car in parc ferme so is that from the garage?
and thats ignoring the obvious fact the whole VV situation was post DPM
i had to simplify a few things ok
obviously
if i put the complete story in that meme would be 5 lines long
Virtanen, Christensen, McKinnon and Cambleforth (all talents who seem too good for FE) in FE would be insane for the 28 grid ngl
i like how of all of the drivers i added or could add to my save
one one of them was actually created by me 


Ayo I just realised
and which one is that (dumb question but yk)
Romeo is age bumped in this save (he’s like 46), meaning Nashville could potentially be in FE
mckinnon lol
broooo nashville pellegrini vs veikko virtanen would slap 🔥🔥
That 2028 FE grid could be STACKED with generational talent and Arthur Cambleforth
alright time to add virtonen 
you were just waiting for a finnish driver to show up 
nah bro already existed i just wanted to wait for the right time 
I mean, Arthur is 24 by then and he will stick around for 2029 (when he’s 25), so you know not really fair to put him in the “generational talents” part
THE DOB IS FIVE DAYS OFF VIRTANEN'S.
i think that's a sign 
he is literally meant to be virtanen
FE might have these 5 drivers/talents for 2028:
Julia McKinnon
Arthur Cambleforth
Veikko Virtanen
Nashville Pellegrini
Per Christensen
this driver: 26/03/09
virtanen: 21/03/09
the only lore drivers i can't add are pelley's children cuz it would be completely nonsensical
Someone pls calculate that for me😭
There’s 3 of em so understandable
what year was he born again? 😭
2004
2028-2004 = 24
24/4 = 6
counting 08 as turning 1, he'll be 6 in 2028
Oh my
Can’t wait for Arthur to hit puberty lads, bro’s a prick already at the age of 6😭💀
Imma add Jonas Friis as well
mate's gonna retire at like 10 
Alright
kbai
gn
lebron james cameo in f1 
Imma go as well, need to get up early bc i’m going back home. I’ll either return to playing on Friday or Saturday
ok time for me to sit in silence for the next 7 hours 
Last thing imma say
oh rip #41 is already taken by Iwasa
Julia Cambleforth sounds horrendous
so its either i change Iwasa's number or i use an alternate for Virtanen
virtanen is really unlucky
40 and 42 are taken as well
fortunately 43 isn't
so Virtanen has to be #43 in my save instead of #41 cuz its the closest available number to #41 (that's still in the 40s)
now i have 5 lore drivers in my save!
Pellegrini is in F1
Christensen and Virtanen are in F2
Cambleforth and McKinnon are in F3
Funny how AC and JM are the same age
i just set that so that the ratings made more sense
lore drivers get a slight rating boost
I see
AC the only guy with his mouth slightly open🙏
Virtanen drives for Hitech
Christensen drives for ART
McKinnon drives for MP
Cambleforth drives for Rodin
FP1 is gonna be so fire with VIR and VER 
🔥
I just realised how Cambleforth as a surname has 0 potential
Yes, I said I would dip but I accidentally started listening to metalcore
man accidentally undercooked severely with that last name choice
Fits Arthur as a person though
what he's undercooked? 
Cambleforth screams “upper-class, spoiled prick” ngl
Bro still denies that he’s upper-class🙏
this insult better make it into the lore in some form cuz its pretty good
imagine some twitter user calls arthur "undercooked"
I’m definitely using that
I just realised something
Angel stayed with Arthur, even after the incident, but instead Arthur started prioritising motorsports
(and allegedly cheated)
arthur really is a jerk isnt he
suits that royal name really well doesnt it
i am totally not cooking insults people can use against arthur in the lore
Oh he is, idk what Julia sees in him but oh well
Yeah it does
I’ll use ‘em
i can imagine people mockingly calling him "king arthur" as he walks by in the paddock
If they don’t do that already
Also Aston are COOKED
aston trying to sneak off into the corner
BBC/Sky Sports: Aston Martin has indeed received over 100+ complaints, says ex-administrator
The ex-administrator of Aston Martin has said that he received close to 150 complaints about Arthur Cambleforth’s attitude, and that someone needs to put him in his place. According to the anonymous administrator Arthur is a “piece of junk who thinks he owns the world or something” and is “way beyond the normal level of jerkiness in the upper-class”
Aston be doing their best to cover the shit Arthur is causing….. maybe that’s why they let him go for 2028 🤔
if he was in a field sport like basketball or soccer there would definitely be large groups of people calling out insults from the stands the entire game
and everyone has to cope with it
at least in motorsports he can't hear any of it while on track
Yeah true
Also bro is still going to do NHRA, he does not care about his own image getting ruined😭
Also notice how everyone coming forward are ex-employees? Yeah that’ll be explained a bit further in the lore
whistleblowers galore
Now from a neutral perspective (as the writer of the lore), I hate Arthur, especially with the shit that’s gonna be revealed later on. I almost feel bad for Julia😭
From a storytelling perspective, I love Arthur. He’s something different from the kind hearted Romeo for example
I doubt Arthur even remotely cares about Grimsby anymore
They gave him a cool nickname and he dipped to Perth/Tel Aviv, so that’s that
the diversity of the lores you roll out is really amazing
and i love how they all in some form build on past lores
I try to make them as diverse as possible, yeah I really liked doing the RPU so I kept the key parts in for the ACU.
I personally really love that more people started doing lore-based saves on here
I’m gonna add flashbacks, so I can post lore without playing
Mostly to show that Arthur always has been a jerk
bruh i almost didnt recognize bvbocon lmao
its probably the fact its in all lowercase where past puns have had capitalization
That’s why I put the () in my name
i just realized how in 2027 after kimi caused a double dnf
i was kinda threatening to fire him if he dnfed again
he never had another dnf until 2030... which also happens to have been his last season as a Sunwest driver
im gonna cook a few things
notably sponsor changes and maybe have some midseason driver transfers cuz my save hasn't had any since 2024
🔥 🔥
Honestly, I think UoL would drop Arthur (they sponsor him), bc it’s allround just bad rep and it’s also why Red Bull let him go of their academy
i think red bull and vcarb will return to honda engines for 2033
So it worked being in disguise.
so currently we have 5 open seats in 2033 with two retirements without any completed contract negotiations
i think i'll switch to a more irl style and announce contracts when i see them happen instead of gatekeeping them for the start of the season
open seats in 2033 are for Williams alongside Ocon, VCARB alongside Lawson, McLaren alongside Bearman, Haas alongside Albon and Audi alongside Antonelli
man you pinged me this morning and i saw it and went "huh i didn't know we had another active user with a haas colored username*

BREAKING: Audi have announced an intention to potentially replace Pierre Gasly mid-season after his poor performance at the Monaco GP, which involved the Frenchman getting lapped twice, finishing over a minute behind P21. Gasly has had a string of poor results lately and has consistently been outpaced by teammate Kimi Antonelli in all races so far. Audi will provide further updates after the British GP, the half way point of the season.
The most likely replacements are Audi reserves Stephanie Lockett and Jerry Coulstock, however the team have also considered other drivers, such as VCARB driver Romeo Pellegrini, Red Bull reserve Veikko Virtanen, and Sunwest reserves Arvid Lindblad and Hashim Kenyatta.
Pink
You need two (actually three) things to recognise.
Haas role, #31 and a pun in the username.
lol ye
clearly i was still tired and overlooked everything
virtanen is a red bull junior 
yes
both vesti and Verstappen (Virtanen's two biggest rivals historically in the IPU) have driven for Red Bull in the save
in my save only verstappen has (obviously)
and as we saw in the cooldown room of bahrain 2032, Virtanen and Verstappen have very much reconciled from that Australia scrap
but max had a significantly shorter red bull stint at my save than in yours
true
he spent a grand total of... one season at red bull
Verstappen spent seven and a half years at red bull before going to McLaren mid-S8
that might have actually helped virtanen thinking about it
meanwhile Max in my save: Red Bull 2024, Mercedes 2025, Sunwest 2026-34
the transfer window came not long after austria (there was the british gp in between but virtanen wasn't really in the hunt at all)
and Verstappen deciding McLaren then sent Vesti off to VCARB because Lando took the Red Bull seat (for half a season)
and then red bull go for nico hulkenberg when lando decides to go back to mclaren
only thing i can think of was lando signed a contract to replace max thinking it said to partner him 
theres a chance i might have to manually give each of the lore drivers an f1 seat
cuz im not sure how much the ais will prioritize them
virtanen and christensen more likely because they're already in F2
mckinnon and cambleforth have maybe 2 or 3 years to develop
exactly
🔥 🔥
BBC SPORT BREAKING: Just 12 hours before Qualifying starts, Angel Evans accuses Arthur Cambleforth of cheating again
The British social media sensation said that when they were 16 Arthur cheated with a random girl he met on a festival, back then she didn’t think anything of it but now looking back she wished she would’ve broken up with him. Arthur has yet to respond, the girl (who wanted to be anonymous) confirmed the story to the BBC.
||(I do not condemn any of the actions, it’s pure storytelling)||
Veikko's in question for an audi seat??
(I didn't see this this morning)
More cheating allegations???
These are confirmed by said girl though
- that was when they were 16, so the relevancy is a bit questionable
arthur is fucking cooked
Yeah, most people will 100% hate this guy even more now. Plus Cadillac are actively looking to potentially shorten Arthur’s contract to only 2030
Bro’s only real hope is Alpine
even despite the questionable relevance, people will use the fact he did cheat before as a basis to continue believing he was seeing Julia while still with Angel
The only plus side of signing Arthur at this point is his budget ig
Oh yeah 100%, people will live with the “once a cheater, always a cheater” rule and that makes Arthur go from a media disaster to a media horror.
University of Lincoln: University of Lincoln drop Arthur Cambleforth sponsorship
(No text for this as it’s only a short statement, the university wants to stay out of the controversy)
Damn
Finally lore drop(ish) for about 2 hours
Mizuno: Arthur Cambleforth becomes a Mizuno athlete!
We are very proud to say that Formula 1’s Arthur Cambleforth will be wearing Mizuno clothing from the Belgian GP onward! The British-Israeli driver opens up a new market for us and we are very excited to work together. The contract was signed at the end of 2026 but we are happy we can finally announce it!
(Announcement was delayed by 3 days due to the lawsuit)
Mizuno
Btw, Arthur is loved in Israel so yeah
Definitely some sponsors that might mostly focus on the Israeli market want to sign Arthur
The only question is, how long until they turn on him as well😭
💀

Wait explain that bit

havent gotten to that point of career mode yet
he cheated on his gf. And also Max is his exs new bf and also kvyats ex gf has a daughter. Penelope. Also max stole daniels seat
Ahh
Yeah I could something like this
But i’ll make it a bit rougher for Arthur
Gosh i hate steam
my steam deck wont connect to the interent. So cloud saving doesnt work
since yesterday
Also apparently, according to Per’s gf Per and Arthur are besties. That could really damage Per’s career
Veikko Virtanen says hatred for Vesti has ballooned, meanwhile relations with Verstappen remain amicable
This comes after the Chinese Grand Prix where Vesti took pole position while Virtanen's IP was a lowly P11, compared to Bearman's in P4.
Further, in the Grand Prix, Virtanen got up towards the front, only to be spun and his front wing completely broken by at the time leader Vesti. His frustrations were immediately vented with many choice words, and words of a threatening nature towards Vesti being used - such will be investigated according to the FIA.
However, conversely, Verstappen, who ended up as the race winner, was seen being congratulated by Virtanen in parc fermé post-race.
That's interesting.
Verstappen who won the race was congratulated, but Vesti - who ended up placing P6, just ahead of Virtanen's teammate Ollie Bearman - was victim to heavy barrages of verbal abuse both from Virtanen's radio in the immediate aftermath of the incident, and from Virtanen in parc fermé physically storming towards where Vesti's car was parked after he congratulated Verstappen (yes, he did it again
)
||(goes without saying that i don't condone the behaviour there, the character is just a bit of a hothead)||
guys here’s a shocker
