Wasnt there a bit of a "blurry" period when Oscar Piastri / Alpine shitshow happened as well ?
It may not be entirely false, he might even have a piece of paper called contract with both teams now, but when that happens things just cannot be called so certainly.
Things can easily swing either way in situations like that.
Yea that’s fair.
If he has contract with both then it will be a messy situation. My understanding is that his 2025 contract was an option. So there wouldn’t be much of a mess.
Max is never touching Mercedes 💀
I really want him to now just to see your reaction.
Watching your brain explode trying to decide whether to support max and also Mercedes or abandon both
Closest he got to it was when he drove the GT3 on 24h of Daytona eSports
And then he was denied a AMG GTR cause he was too young lmao
I rooted for Mercs vs Ferrari, wouldn't be an issue 
Albon to merc when
Carlito to notAudi 
Bye bye to joe or boat-ass?
Yea, that line-up is one of the weakest.
So what's gonna be? Ocon to Mercedes and Mick to Alpine after WEC? 🗿
Don't think Merc cares for Ocon.
I still think Merc wants Albon up there
I hope for Albon’s sake he doesn’t
Albon would be fun in a better car tbh.
Cause if he gets a demoralized Mercedes that is a boat it will ruin his reputation
When he drags the Williams to points everyone praises him and we see time and time again when at a top-ish team if you aren’t on the podium you are viewed as bad
Yea but staying in Williams forever is also not so nice.
They say the same all the time, if RB fucks up 2026 and Mercedes is back at it again, with Lewis leaving or retiring, he’ll so touch Mercedes 😉
Seb 2014 moment.
I agree, but there will be lots of options for 2025 I’m sure… don’t get overly excited and jump into a Mercedes imo
im just worried about fernando staying
Yea I think that will depend on AM performance this year
He got a taste of blood last year and other teams see he is still just as thirsty and capable as he was 10-15 years ago. I’d say nando going to a different team is definitely on the cards.
The more I think about Lewis - Leclerc, the more … bruh, marketing wise you’re making a fortune
Lewis in a Ferrari team setting still seems bizarre to me. Like idk they just seem like they won’t mesh… will see I guess.
Remember his contract goes out in 5 seasons 💀
Lewis leaves because Monster isn’t sponsoring Mercedes 😭
LMAOOOO IMAGINE
Always clauses…
Imagine that when Lewis drops Merc they get a start of the season like AM did last year and then he regrets his move 🗿
Would be kinda funny
One thing I beg it happens, if he leaves, take Bono with you 🥺
Losing "Bono me tire" radios would be truly a tragedy.
Late post, but yea.

"It is huge, huge news"
Mercedes employees in Brackley have been told that Lewis Hamilton will be leaving at the end of the 2024 season 🏎️
💖 108 🔁 11
7PM expected “press conference”
Fact that this is real is such a weird timeline
Lewis is going to ferrari, you are kidding
we are not
I wish.
now which timetraveller moved that damn chair?
faiz forgot to react on one comment and this happened
Please go back to the same pit you came from hiro
Is he having that Pierre mindset with the; "I will make this team a top team"
Zamn, Lewis in TCC?
Because for pierre it made sense
Letsgo my favorite driver and favorite team will be together
Lewis though, perhaps he's just enjoying his post-champion era...?
🗿
Prediction ---- He'll quit 2027-2028
I'm saying stupid things again, I'll go away
Go back to the basement 🙈
It’s your turn
Mom said it’s my turn ? Ok, I’m going ✌🏼
Bruh
It’s official. Figured it would be.
Usually rumour is stamped out pretty quick or never makes such big news
I love this sport, I do so much, after the most boring and dominant season, somehow it’s more exciting than ever, fuck football
pure coincidence, according to reddit comments
This is apparently the story : there was an internal conflict about the W13 and W14 between the technical staff of Mike Elliott and Loïc Serra in charge of performance, we know Lewis never approved the no side pod concept …
Loïc Serra left due to this disagreement on the concept and went to … Ferrari and Mike Elliott seeing the failure of the car left ( I bet he got fired ) and now Mercedes are fighting a losing battle as they’re behind in development because dreams were sold rather than facts
If it was such a mistake in Lewis' eyes why he re-signed in 2023?
Loyalty and as I said, they sold dreams rather than facts
They sold the potential of the car rather than black & white data supporting the claims
Loïc Serra took a good amount of engineers with him
That's some rather fragile loyalty tbh, basically smells like faking it until doors open elsewhere.
James Allison comes in and is tasked to catch 2 years worth of developing and from his previous statements, they still don’t know exactly what to do
He gave them 2 years man c’mon, 2022 he literally tested the car for half a season, it’s not like he’s 25 and has all the time in the world
What I'm saying is that he shouldn't have kept that front up only to get out asap when Ferrari CEO called.
There’s so much we don’t know, we’ll never get the full picture
"yea guys I'm totally on for another 2 years"
not even halway in
"actually I'm staying for only 1 and already shook hands with your closest rival, enjoy having me for 2024"

That’s parody the whole thing, you extend your contrat because stuff are promised to you, but then you realise nothing materialises, he most likely already tested the W15 and saw nothing, so of course you start looking elsewhere because you’re nearly 40 and I believe Ferrari found something for 2026 and Fred convinced him like Niki did and wants a season before that to get familiarised with the team
He also believed the long wheelbase and floor were wrong as well
Photographer for Ferrari and Leclerc
💀
if fernando still wants to race in 2025 merc will take him and mick or felipe might get a shot at aston's 2nd seat
haven't seen formuladank in a while should check what is going on there
so sainz to redbull or what are we thinkin?
Yeah, Sainz to Alfa for that Audi project coming
shouldn't leave out albon either as he is also a driver of interest
honestly with Perez being thrown for 2025 (hopefully) I'd think of either Daniel's return or Lawson getting in it somehow, no clue who else 🗿
Lawson would be thrown into the bad naming exercise team first.
Projecting much? There's nothing wrong with it, if anything it's nice to see a character like that in F1.
So is Hamilton driving for Ferrari in 2024 or only from 2025 onwards?
25
at least thats what the rumors are right now. would be kinda odd to switch teams while prepping for the season but idk.
it’s alr confirmed
Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team and Lewis Hamilton will part ways at the end of the 2024 season. Lewis has activated a release option in the contract announced last year.
there we go
Have to wake up at 2 AM. 🗿
lmao
confirmed literally 3 minutes ago by that tweet faiz just posted?
being at ferrari is practically out of the sport no? kek
nah that's just dressing up as a red clown every race weekend
well it's never confirmed until the deepest source says it is
imo its confirmed when a reliable source like mercedes, ferrari or lewis himself announces it.
Yea, I even waited for it until the confirmation.
💀
Can't save them anymore.
i'm sorry for getting a meme in here but it really fits
Speaking of memes... 🗿 https://vxtwitter.com/MercedesAMGF1/status/1697226320131014915?t=PmVUBET5Qno34PkbhGw9Zg&s=19
Lewis is here to stay. 🖤😍
💖 32343 🔁 5476
Holy shit
notice how the video is 44 seconds long
Talk about a silly season
MULTI?????
Damn, finally officially official.
oh my classmate is about to be pissed
he loves Hamilton, and Mercedes.. them together was him having merch of both.. now this shit 💀
2 years signed
MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT???
that is crazy
having hamilton for 1 year also seems kinda crazy tbh
if youre gonna commit to swapping teams with such a high profile driver you gotta commit commit
This is a moment of all time
hell yeah
when is alonso getting his 33rd win
whenever lewis gets his 8th championship
I agree. 2 year makes sense. Stay into the new regs at least and see if the team can deliver
He will surely find a seat I hope
Hopefully
He’s definitely good enough
There's a year for him and Mercedes to get a seat
If he can't get something, unfortunately another great talent was lost in the silly season
Or sauber
Ahhh, that sucks
Or RB
I doubt RB or Sauber would take him
i wanna see sainz in rb lmao
Why? Audi project makes perfect sense
would be funny for max and carlos to be teammates again
Both have options that believe to be better
RB would for sure take him as a second driver
2015 ❌ 2025 ✅
Who on earth is a better option? 🗿
The one time Lewis could've done something so funny
Zhou?
Idk how it might be for them, but they have options
Carlos is honestly more likely for the Audi project more than anything imo
I don’t think Carlos will go to Mercedes
nah
Imagine 
Lmaooooo god if only
I mean, it would make alot of sense if Sauber offers him a seat to Sauber due to the Audi project which it will be nice. 
sorry for the misunderstood
Honestly tho, unrelated to this whole situation, Oscars move to denounce the Alpine move was a good idea, here he is in a 3rd place team having won a race to a form
Yeah, i'd like to see them both in Sauber next year
This is such a fucking weird image 
Well, we can knock one team off for 2025, we wait for the rest of the team
I'm a pourchaire believer but man do hope goes away year after year
Same, but it would be a bummer if he leaves 
Who would the options even be for Merc?
Ofc their reserves are avaliable but I highly doubt their bringing them up, other than the drivers who are likely to renew their contracts, it's a tough pick
I might say Albon or Schumacher if he improved his peformance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g813MyPcogU wake up babe, rocketpoweredmohawk dropped a video
nah fr tho pokimane leaving twitch is also news
shes not leaving twitch as much as she's no longer under a twitch exclusive contract and allowed to also stream on other platforms now
Dang, so 2025 part was real...well, time will tell if Lewis made a mistake or not I guess.
will be interesting def
He’s gotta help them get the stats up
Lecrec and hamilton.... 

Bahrain is a good track, but yea it just doesn’t feel like a good season opener some how
🗿
do any of u think women ruin the sport by sexualising the drivers too much
my entire fyp is just videos of girls saying the ferrari lineup is the best looking
I’m probably doing that with Lewis way more 😭
You don’t wanna see the stuff I say to one of my friends
what
never open twitter, also that was a weird comment 🗿 atleast the first half
stop gooning bro
if there's anything dumb with F1 is when they invite over random celebrities that have never heard of F1 to a weekend with a VIP Paddock pass and then proceed to post "omg @ mclaren thanks for the invite, I loved this cause I've been loving you since 2 hours ago" and then when a follower ask them something about it they have no clue, not even what the track name they're at is called 🗿
Welcome to humanity. They are not ruining the sport just dont get involved in those circles.
Same would be if a woman driver was around. Groups of loud mouths would be hating her and being sexist, then another group commenting on her every post asking for feet pics.
People are degenerates and the terminally online are the worst of it.
And then there is the majority that is silently enjoying the races.
Id rather say the pandering to the american consumer but not actually doing that, just getting the celeb points is what can ruin the sport, but thats f1 for you. More politics than racing
YESSSS 
Melbourne is back as the opening race
lets gooo
melbourne as opening race lfg
huh
Been a while, man I missed that 
And the sunlight is no better than an artificial light ? lmao
Mooooore infos, Mercedes board refused the proposal of Lewis becoming an ambassador while John Elkann is willing to invest 250M in the projects Lewis started at Mercedes ( Mission 44 etc ) and make him an ambassador for his own brand, so yeah, the more the days will pass, the more infos will get out, as I said we’ll never get the full picture and a lot of factors played in the decision to leave
My best guess right now, Mercedes got tired of the quantity of demands Lewis will always make and Lewis got tired of false promises while nothing indicates they’re sorting the car out, I feel there was internal drama
I mean it makes sense, you win 8 championships in a row and then suddenly you’re average, RIP
Oh yeah 7, my bad 😅
I mean don’t make me send the video Horner says Lewis is a 8th world champion 😭
Probably because he forgot that ||Nico won the 2016 championship||.
Average?
Idk how to even rate Ferrari then, cause after very successful 2000s they won nothing, while Mercedes had unfortunate couple years which ended in second place even with a throwaway car.
Lewis himself had a decent chance at a point to claim second from Checo too.
Either Ferrari found something convincing in performance over the Winter or this is almost entirely an off-track type decision, as competition-wise the switch looks like a side-step.
Don't forget this, he also beated him with equal machinery 
Who would've thought back then that Nico is as good as it gets for title challengers in recent-ish years, after Lewis himself.
Only 2 Mercedes boys were both on the winning and losing side of truly season-long title fights since like ages ago. Before them you'd have to rewind back to Alonso's young years.
Seb in Ferrari could almost qualify, but before the ending part of season Ferrari always trailed off and Lewis' count going up was a certainty before final races.
It's here! Introducing the VF-24 🫶

Leclerc casually streaming while driving
Looks good 👌🏼
Minus the American flag
In a season where mechanical failures were almost the norm for Lewis’ car, lost it by 5 points, Nico wasn’t the better driver, was the more fortunate one
It’s not just Malaysia engine blow, I remember a lot of qualifying issues and race issues, some minor, some big that overall made his lose a lot of points
But that’s the way it goes🤷🏼♂️
That's a lot of bare carbon 
Another too black car on the grid, yay
Still looks good imo, HAAS is lucky that it fits.
I like how they stayed with the design, it suits them
Better than the Russian flag 
livery looks good. idk what else changed tbh
Nose seems to be the only change I think.

Anyway here's Toto
Extremely pleased last frame 
new reaction picture just dropped lmao
Live Toto reaction 
@plush cloud
if someone crops it, can make an emote here 🙂
do you only want the face or the whole thing?
whatever looks best
this looks the best from my end
i meant as an emote
well yeah
no nitro so can't send here smh, do whatever y'all feel like cause I can't send them (from own place) out here
@faint light thoughts ?
Poor Toto

meh will take the default one i guess
ok, was fucking around with paint 3d and uh, somehow made this

Paint3D 

No way
toto is TC Lore now
This one's much better. 
He hides the pain, clearly
Arriving in motorfest season 3
i feel bad for russel
he joined thinking the car looked fast and then that same car got lapped by verstappen in imola
had a terrible 2023 season and now lewis leaves
he also said in an interview there’s no way hamilton goes to ferrari
Surely getting 20 something points max in Williams would've been better 
his time in williams was funny
man was crying over his first points while ricardo was laughing in the back 😹
excellent
Wonder what FIA thinks now 
Imagine 
wtf
aint no way
season hasnt even started and we already doing the big silly one after another
tbf, i do think albon did decently well considering the circumstances. checo hasnt really proven to be any better imo. and albon has done excellent sim work from what i gather.
Being younger Albon is also more likely to improve over Checo.
Mfw I just remembered that Kimi Antonelli that everyone randomly started to know last year jumped from F4 to F2 over the fall break 🗿
I think Toto said he’s one of the guys he wants up in Mercedes very soon
Could be their own Max if kid does well.
More infos …
The 1+1 deal with the clause was a compromise from Lewis asking a 3 years deal and Mercedes refusing
Could indeed be connected to Kimi
But … I’m happy to be proven wrong, the hype around him is too big, he’ll fall under pressure
Depends on the person. Worked out for Max cause he didn't really care.
Tsunoda is a recent example of someone with good raw speed, but a few screws loose in the head that always make him go up and down in people's eyes 💀
Kimi at the best in my opinion is just another Oscar, not at all a Max
It might just be the bad car but i havent really seen tsunoda pull off results that absolutely wowed me. My terrible memory also probably doesnt help
P4 in Abu Dhabi, overtaking Bottas in a Mercedes 😭
He feels upper mid tier, with too many unpredictable bad episodes
I think even his debut weekends describe him perfectly, when he finished P9 right away and got called one of best rookies in years by some, but next time around crashing started.
That's still very good I guess. He's pretty chill and talented.
That might’ve been the effect of Bahrain as it’s an easy track for rookies to begin rather than Melbourne and yeah he still had a good race, but as always, people jump to conclusions immediately
Of course
In all this apparently John Elkann called Lewis several times just to get the same answer until … he got the yes, persistance people haha, never take a no for an answer
Lewis would like to take Bono ( of course ) and Andrew Shovlin with him, but they’re not really liking the idea to move to Italy, he’s hoping to convince them
Bono at least please 🥺
He will move with him I bet
100% that Toto paid for his F2 seat from F4 cause not even the rich dudes in F3 could get a seat in F2 unless they finished top3 🗿
People speculating that next year's Ferrari will be mostly black like what.. something like that feels blasmphemous
Ferrari ditching their entire history for a 40yo man, yes 
Objectively Mercedes didn’t either, 2020 was that major event and Lewis being the only black driver ever in the sport, to support the message they went black, 2021 they move a little bit away from it and 2022 they went back to normal, 2023 is just weight saving, I’m 100% certain they don’t think of sending any message anymore lmao
That being said if Ferrari goes more black than usual, it’ll be to save weight, but hopefully 2026 changes that and we go back to teams properly paint their cars
black and red i dig
Mercedes could go for Lando and Sainz can then return back to McLaren
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGekdgGRN/ I know this is very long ago but still funny with the current Ferrari spot
Such a interesting lil fact
Quite cool honestly
Have you heard his salary tho 💀
100 million euros a year from just the team 🗿 - speculated but most likely true cause case was the same for his last 3 contract years
Prob with bonuses for titles.
Only two salaries reaching 100 mill before was Schumacher getting 30 mil + 70 from sponsors in a year and Kimi getting a 100 mill over the span of 3 years 🗿 sure Max gets it in 2 years but never as a combined salary thing
Redbull has wicked bonus clauses iirc, for winning races, titles and championships i bet he gets a pretty penny extra.
Maybe that's part of motivation that makes Max try so hard to win no matter what 
Apparently in 2023 max got around 25 mil from just those bonusses
Mad bank 
RB is probably the only one that can and would want to afford Max like that now ig, since Mercedes is more stingy according to rumors and Ferrari got 2 top tier drivers signed with Lewis' mega deal.
Its a stupid amount of money, completely absurd
Getting deals almost worth HAAS budget 
🗿
Didn't they send out a limit regulation?

Also wtf?
Such a wholesome line
He’s sure moving up on the Forbes list
Senna is the only big name out there to have not driven for Ferrari
Max to Ferrari after Lewis 
If RB doesn’t give him a car, inevitable
It’s not like Lewis would’ve left if Merc landed the rules and had RB dominance, you must have -IQ
What are you waffling about? 
bro got his yapping degree
Wdym ? The last phrase, I meant you must have -IQ to leave if you have a dominant car
It's not a very well constructed message.
My bad, you know I would never question your intelligence
I think he'll likely stay in RB probably

You never know. Lewis happened so suddenly, same could be said about Seb's RB exit.
Might be a chance in the future, but we'll see
Lewis will have to learn the alphabet plans quickly
Maybe he can spend 2024 in prep, if Mercedes is not good enough to take all attention 
He is going to need bono
They put both Ferrari on hards, I can’t 😭😭😭
He broke his front wing, who’s to blame 👀
Probably Verstappen but considering you turned in very late it’s about 50/50
I finally convinced my bestie to watch F1 and I told her to begin with DTS then I can explain her things, first question she asks : “why is Verstappen so hated ?”
How do I even explain that 😭
fr
Wait no, cos she just started, what’s the first DTS season ? 2019 ? No … 2018, was he even there much ? I swear it was mainly Ricciardo and Gunther
I’ll be objective and try not to influence her

Sauber clown fiesta for 2 years.
Dear god, I knew that it's going to be worse
saw it on insta and my jaw dropped
It’s not like anything would happen to him, but you know, a bit of drama in their HUGE comfort is welcomed haha
it looks sick but would look clean without the visor sponsors
i kinda liked horner tbf. other than steiner, his and toto’s drama kinda carried dts
the williams car and suit look so nice tho
I like Horner too, but I absolutely cannot stand Helmut
Yea Helmut is not a pleasant character, never been one.
What happened
He made inappropriate comments about something, what that something is, we don't know.
Man cmon
Him and Toto were the best team bosses
How tf is Krack gonna be the second longest serving team principal
Whooooa, I was like he probably just screamed at someone out of frustration, but damn it’s that big that resignation is required
I mean what can it be that big, racism ? Or … omg it could be sexual allegations 😱
The actual RB company does the investigation, not RB racing
or just politics as we saw the other time when he was disagreeing with RBR old man
Could help some tracks, but not all cause on others DRS trains make it only harder.
What the fuck
Car is 100% gonna be black and green 🗿
Actually Sauber looks kinda cool.
That looks good 😮💨
Implementation of green could have been done better but overall kinda dig it
what the fuck is that
WhatsApp car
Yea I expected worse.
Poker chip wheel covers are kinda cool
Rest of it is alright ig. Not the worst I’ve seen
Gunther to RB
as much as i like guenther as a character, i dont think he would be a good leader at RB
Anyway, Albon confirmed by James
i meaannn. not like we havent seen contracts be broken before. i highly doubt albon doesnt have a way out if a big team has a spot for him. that said idk if its worth it for him trying to switch.
He probably has a release option in his contract, wouldn't be surprised if he did
i can see him biting if merc has a seat, i reckon he could take the gamble with george. but he knows what its like being at redbull, i kinda doubt he wants to give that another go unless there is some structural change within redbull to facilitate him also developing the car to his needs instead of exclusively max'.
Apparently the reason the Lewis to Ferrari deal didn’t leak only on the day it was made official was because the whole deal was so secretive, you could count the people who knew on one hand
Not too bad I should say. 🗿
i guess Horner lived upto his name
was it confirmed?
not yet afaik, its just one allegation rn. no signs of systemic abuse
🚨 | Sauber are reportedly facing legal issues due to their Stake sponsorship.
Stake does not have a license in Switzerland, per @SRF.
The Federal Casino Comission is understood to have opened preceedings against Sauber.
Damn, Sauber raised their Stakes a bit too high. 
Well shit 
💀
They probably expected some issues, like anyone else with any braincells left, but idk if this one was on the list 
I would not at all be surprised if they said "fuck the blue"
Keep your expectations low for this one

While the live is happening and waiting for the F1 livery to be revealed, dang this WEC livery is nice! 
Pink version.
it is the same as last year basically. 5/10
That is absolutely better
This image has given me an existential crisis somehow
Thinking about how old I’ll be when Australia contract is up
This looks amazing

And for the F1 livery...
my expectations for it were suddenly low and it's atrocious.
The rear lights are even shaped like the logo as a fun fact
Incase 2 races wasn't enough pink for you
And with that being said, this doesn't even come close to this gorgeous livery from 2021 which they ever made.
ofc
but as long as freaking BWT is a sponsor, they will impose the pink it seems :c
Wow, ok, change of staff at Alpine too
This one was the best imo especially when the castrol green was added
It was a great livery, sponsor logos look right along with alpines own branding in the mix

thats about the only good thing thats come out of this
not that AT was bad looking either tho...
Holy shit
AT 2020-2021 pog livery
They actually returned back to the colors of Toro Rosso
Also the rear wing is really interesting on this car… is this just for the render…
I feel like this might be a work around to generate vortex like 2022 AM wing?
If it’s even legal…
Ok, that's actually cool
Many of the livery cars are showcase cars, it could be a render but I highly doubt it's their actual car
Nose is elongated, wing is flattened, the sidepods are raised, wing seems to have been raised
Overall just redbull-ified
The wing peaks my interest still. Wonder if RB has something similar considering the new proximity between the two teams 🗿
Also happy we have a painted car, not just carbon everywhere
A car that isn't too black, good

Fun fact, it's basically the same car 
Massive changes to the cars structure though from the front view
Thank god you said it I was thinking the same
They pulled out a RB
Nothing to complain about. Looks nice. 
2023 for comparison
It's one of the few actually painted cars, which we can always be grateful for
Looks pretty normal now
Nose is pushed all the way down, the wing curves are less sharper, wing is at more of a 45° angle, the sidepods have been made stricter up alongside losing the Ferrari river design for the vents
So very Red Bull-esque changes
Atleast they stayed with the design, still a goregeous car 
Yeah, if it's the same it doesn't matter

Like I said, it's one of the more painted cars and we will always be grateful for them
Indeed
Sad that they didn't use the pull-rod suspension at the front and push-rod at the rear though.

Info caught me off-guard so decided to mention here

for what reason...
Wow thx for pointing it up
for what?
quote from reddit "To accommodate for the start of Ramadan they moved Jeddah to saturday, and since the rules state there must be at least a week between races Bahrain also gets moved to saturday"
gotcha
Ah ok, at least it wasn't some bullshit reasoning
I see, I think the same thing has happened with last season
It's almost time to unveil our newest Formula 1 challenger, the SF-24! Set your alarms to 12:00 CET to check out Charles Leclerc & Carlos Sainz's new ride for 2024.

SF-24 revealed.
It looks nice 
That yellow and white line pattern, mamma mia
Hopefully that nose aint final, previous 2 Ferrari cars of this era looked nicer.
the rear engine cover reminds of the W14 🥴
Except the suspension configuration.
Relatively different
It's more straight on the 2024 car unless it's just kinda the default for show cars
That or angling of the shot 
How about some better images of the SF-24
Technical director Enrico Cardile: "With the SF-24 we wanted to create a completely new platform and in fact, every area of the car has been redesigned, even if our starting point was the development direction we adopted last year" #F1

wow, imagine cars where the black areas are actual paint
So who's left?
And then testing?
Here we are
Clear changes on the SF24
Front suspension looks like it’s been adjusted similar to AM and Redbull
Every car is getting closer and closer now.
Yep

Red-Bullified again
Pretty cool!
W15.
Okay I like this more than last years
This looks really great than last year
Looks good
Half-painted
Alot of teams are Red-Bullifing their car
Apparently newey just had it right on the first try
I mean... Large downwashing sidepods are the way to go. The large sidepods are keeping the front wheel wake outboard, while the downwashing part is to drag clean air to the back to produce more downforce. 
Is Lewis far away
They look so photoshopped 😭
nah he's just that short
Probably because there are no shadows
But the merc and Ferrari livery designers cooked this year
Don't like that half and half look tbh, they tried with the fade I guess.
At least the car is painted
So we got the reason for why Saturday in the Muslim countries but why Saturday for las Vegas now ?
las vegas was saturday last season as well. because its a night race over there, sunday night in vegas means monday morning in europe.
Didn't even realise we have China
Ah I forgor
Until they cancel "last minute" again

There are lots of distinctions & ideas about it but the regulations in the future are starting to get quite duller as usual, I don't really like the hybrid era...
max told us livery is going to be the same
everyone and their dog could've predicted the livery was gonna be the same. max didnt say anything new lmao
Red Bull change looks extreme.
taking the term "zeropods" literal and having no actual intake on the side is bold for sure.
whoever greenlit this photo needs to look at other career options...
thats not even close to the rb19, let alone an rb20.
its not even the silly fia official car that redbull reskinned for their "rb18" launch
Looks like some random car 
Yea I was trying to look at that. I’m sure it’s good for aero… but there is no way in hell that just the intake at the top is enough…
Surely it will actually have intakes on the real car
Either that or Honda are sorcerers and have created the worlds most thermally efficient engine ever????
Let alone Aero but what about cooling, that was kinda the whole point of the intakes 
And here we are, 2024 -> The Year of Carbon Fibre
Literally same sentence I say that the intake at the top is not surely not enough 🗿
It’s the 2022 Mercedes style 💀
Mercedes switches to rb19 design and redbull switches to Mercedes. Mercedes gonna be left scratching their heads man that’s wild 💀💀💀
Uh...
Admin got so caught up in the shot we chose the wrong take 🎬 🤦♂️

Damn, finally the right clip. 🗿
Inlet on show car looks similar to old Mercedes, but overall not the same concept cause RB is not aiming to delete sidepods, they're trying to feed even more air under them.
It's honestly amazing how much of an aggressive change this year's RB is, when pretty much everyone else follows their old trend. They flipped it completely.
Red Bull has flipped the script in F1 launch season by revealing a surprisingly different 2024 car that has some ideas its fierce rival Mercedes has now abandoned.
This was a handy time for Red Bull to buck its usual trend of not showing a real car at its launch, as seeing some striking RB20 details helped prevent the launch from being overrun...
Newey staring at the W14 and said: "I can fix her". 🗿
If there's one man I trust to fix it, he's him.
RB is using the airflow quite differently between all these familiar at a glace shapes, it can't be just an accidental difference with Newey. It's joever if this thing actually works on track.

You're a bit late to Alonso hype 
The Williams is hopefully better this year
Dw, they can't fall behind shit like HAAS 
Yeah, because they're busy understanding how tyres work. 🗿
HAAS, understanding how Pirellis work since 2018 
It's crazy how many years ago their cars demonstrated this tire-chewing character and it was never fixed.
Haas engineering at its finest
Yeah, I remember their 2019 car when they got good qualifying pace but poor race pace.

Leclerc looks Damaged 🗿
piastri has more potential than leclerc and makes less mistakes

Bound to be controversial. I think both have a lot of raw pace and talent, but I do have to agree Leclerc feels very accident prone, whether through his own doing or Ferrari’s.
Piastri seems consistent
Ferrari was a bitch to drive and Leclerc isn't the type to compromise speed, so it will always lead to accidents until Ferrari makes a better car. That thing in 2022 especially was on a knife's edge constantly and could even stall rear aero.
I agree the car was poorly balanced, but then you have to adjust. Even if it means compromising speed. Driving a car outside of its limits for more pace is hardly smart imo.
So much risk for a pole position that will be lost on Sunday anyway
Yea, but critically it's Ferrari we're talking about. It's all or nothing with these guys.
I agree the car needs to be better. To me it’s still no excuse to go crash it.
It's the Ferrari way bro, Charles doesn't come off as a particularly reckless driver in general and for how much shit he had to endure from the team he didn't do bad imo 
Yea he is far from a bad driver. Of course he doesn’t intentionally wreck. It just to me anyway comes off as naive. Pushing the car beyond its limits. Given a better car Leclerc is just as likely to win a WDC as Max.
Imagine handling bitch of a car, under pressure with Ferrari ambitions to always be the best(org failing to do so for 15+ years), yet being forced to talk with clueless engineers on pit-wall at the same time. Sticking with Ferrari is playing it on hard mode 
Yea it's likely that Ferrari practice made Charles good enough with handling on the edge fast cars, but in RB he'd also have a functional pit-wall 
Imagine if Ferrari fix it before Lewis comes, bro my content 😭
Ferrari trying the trick of handing it over to French again 
Rare time the Fr*nch are good
Yeah, it's crazy how it works. Charles extended, Lewis is coming after all the doubt Binotto times had 
Lewis signing is definitely a big vote of confidence. Definitely expect them to be strong in the coming years.
I know it’s also a dream for Lewis to drive in red so that kinda makes me wonder if it’s a just because thing or if he has seen something that makes the switch worth while
We'll know how good of a switch it is in a year, if Ferrari doesn't Ferrari it up by then already 
i think 2025 will be important in terms of no strategy fuck ups and having competent engineers.
but 2026 will be where car performance matters
Finally keeping up with rest of the grid.
