6 AM sprint. No thanks F1, good luck with the viewing figures 
I ain't gonna watch sprints either. 🗿
Max will win
5 am 💀
My gf s gonna kill me…
Well… no. 😂
better idea, wake up at 8am (hour befote real quali) and watch sprint replay
that's what I'm gonna do
.
Seems like I won’t watch this one either, making it 3 races in a row
Could just change timezones. 🗿
Wdym? Perez will definitely be winning for sure.
dear god
why tf does the sprint quali end 10:14 
It's so dumb that they shoved a Sprint into this GP in particular. Nobody been here in recent cars.
Pushing Sprints to some of the tracks that haven't been there at the first place is just uneccessary
You didn‘t mention what. 😜
You mean driver of the day for sure
Imho sprints are completly unnecessary…
I don’t like this format at all.
My bad, I meant Ocon.
He’ll be winning the Chinese GP, trust me. 💀
I‘ll bet on him 10 euro
Can't forget the home bias, yeah.
Forgor
Slightly inspired by @yelistener Youtube videos, check his channel out, it's really good
S U B O P T I M A L
True, he’s been doing so well lately fr.
Oh right he’s having his own documentary out this month about being the first chinese F1 driver iirc
After three big crashes in just two weeks, Williams boss James Vowles weighs up the situation facing his squad in China and beyond 🔍😕
There's another link inside the X link
Just dont go to china and build up 3 chassis
Not like theyre getting points with these broken heaps of carbon scraps anyways
Meanwhile a bid from a big racing org like Andretti is still "not worth F1".
Meanwhile Ocon partying when getting through q1
xD
When participation is your reward.
Tbf to Tsunoda, he is the first Japanese driver to score at Suzuka in 12 years
Yeah, Max is insane in this day and age
There's just no denying he's one of the greatest current F1 Drivers
📠
It's insane indeed that he made it up there so young.
Lewis and Micheal have had years and years to amount that amount of laps
Max is hardly 27 and he's almost top 3
Different era and reliabilities people often forget
True, but in reality Schumacher drove one of the most dominant cars in F1 History, Hamilton raced like hell to get where he is
That early 2000's Ferrari was something
It is hard to forget that despite being so young, max has been in the sport for a decent amount of time already
17 years old moment.
Please let this become true
Meh. Would much rather see a move to merc or redbull happen tbh
no one wants to go to merc
and checos contract will be decided by next month
I mean redbull has said their top contender on the market for next year is redbull so yeah.. I think every team sees it this way
stroll's seat is permanent so they ditching alonso for sainz ?
Almost everyone would love to get Carlos on board, this is not news.
nah, might be a chance that they're probably going have a new investor for the team and decide to drop out stroll
Would he go to Sauber? For the right amount maybe but for him to be signed by Audi when they arrive is more likely than him sticking 2 years with Stake and losing on potential high positions
Ruling out the bottom 2 of Williams and Haas, leaves Mercedes, Aston, RB and Stake. He's unlikely to go to Merc thanks to their recent performance, He's an option but not a likely signing for RB considering their relatively happy with Checo. Aston & Stake are his only options
LMFAO stop cooking, you way overcooked it already.
If you go by "recent performance" then his only valid option would be Red Bull, as it's the only team that can guarantee not being worse than Ferrari that he's forced to leave, so it's a weak argument against Mercedes. He wouldn't be looking just into 2025 either, 2026 regulation changes are way too close to just pick based on what's happening right now.
Ruling out Red Bull just cause Checo had a couple good results is stupid too, cause it only takes a couple results to go badly the other way and they'd be like "oh, here we go again" and boom he's out the seat.
Audi and Aston would have to spend big on Carlito, and he'd have to really buy into their promises too at the same time, so naming those as only options is weird.
imo carlos going to stake would be mega stupid and a huge risk.
Andretti buys Haas, gets Carlos and dominate F1 for a year
nothing is confirmed at redbull, and mercedes is far from a bad option as they are a previous 7 time championship winning team. those two should be his priority drives. then if nothing works with those consider aston. and lastly consider audi/stake only if they offer big money.
imho
why is everyone assuming audi is gonna be good
cause if they participate, they show up https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/press-releases/year-by-year-the-most-important-successes-of-audi-in-motorsport-3846
Yea that's reasonable.
For Audi being at Sauber's current level would be simply unacceptable, it's a different lvl of commitment, a manufacturer backing and work on improving pretty much everything vs just surviving that Sauber been doing for the past 10+ years. Of course many people would have expectations for that change, it's not HAAS who's changes are more on...spiritual lvl 
it's either this for me
aston (if stroll wants to quit already) or audi/sauber
I think Audi will be decent. I highly doubt to see them being a top performer from the get go though. But yea it wouldn’t be acceptable to be at Saubers current level (even though it’s not terrible if they manage to fix their shitstops)
Pitstop crew and or ones responsible for procedures better sort it out if they want to still have a job in the near future, yeah.
2024 Season so far
That's fucking hilarious
Their basically saying "We're going to do it, one way or another"
In other team news
bruh why arent they just investing in it if there's such a constraint
Their shoving it down the FIAs throat
this poorly aged well 💀
Basically just trying to make it impossible for Liberty to say no to another bid
Liberty*
The FIA approved them
Well, Their basically pushing the FIA to get a F1 slot
Alpine's downfall still going 
i'll be still there no matter what 😎
We did it boys Team france has fallen
They don’t need to push the FIA to get them an F1 spot. The FIA already approved them 💀
They need to push Liberty Media, the owners of Formula 1
Same here. 🫡
May he rest in peace 

rest in peace
Holy shit the rich energy part I forgot about it lmao
covid was not a thing then
ayy nice
Biiigg news
The rumour mill is in full flow atm
Given the drivers on the market do you think we could see Stroll leaving F1 🤔
Well tbf he’s not been so bad thr past few races so who knows
about the 2 week ultimatum for alonso to sign with redbull but alonso only signing if verstappen left
More chadlonso action, good.
his longevity needs to be studied.
Hard work pays off, man sacrificed a lot to come back to F1 and be competitive.
Cool but for how long
I’d bet just a year or two contract at his age.
That's the big news
Rumor was he had ultimatum with RB but ofc a rumor is a rumor
Here's an interesting thing
Now we wonder if Sainz is gonna get lucky and get a spot by Merc, RB or Stake
Interesting
Sainz not going to Stake for sure
No doubt about his destination being Merc, RB or another sport
aston was going to enter WEC from 2025 so we could see alonso there after 2026 as his contract role extends beyond F1
tht or he goes into Aston F1 managment
YT just recommended me this mad throwback:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Az1BrAlts
Well, here's something
Honda is leaving Red Bull as their power unit and going to Aston Martin
This is old news no?
A bit old news yeah
“A bit old news” literally 11 months ago deal was announced. Quite old news
Guess I did not see it then 
Bahrain not being the opener huh
miami and imola need to go
What's wrong with Imola
Arsh
Lesgo finally
24 redbull wins next season
Imola is goated
calendar is alr too long and no need for 2 italian races when monza is the more popular one
You are wrong imola is great
And it’s closer to many ppl in Italy
And historical as well
And all of them should be in Europe and Japan

pic goes hard
Some say he’ll stop once lando wins a race.
Fernando chadlonso
He better be immortal then
To accommodate for Ramadan
Glad to see Melbourne opening again tbh.
same, it's been a while since it was opener to the season
Very nice to see the old classic returning as an opener
It's hopefully gonna provide more racing for the opener
someone had a bright idea 💀
where's versta- oh wait bro's gone
Homies looking everywhere for a slim chance to finally win vs Max in last couple years, only for Carlito to take the rare opportunity 
And jokes aside, here's Max. 🗿

So both the Red Bull & Ferrari are within the regulations 
Was it ever a question that they weren’t?

Technically we've already had a safety car this weekend 
Ngl I missed this track
A damned shame their running a sprint around here
My first Chinese GP and it's a Sprint 

U didn’t watch the one like 5 yrs ago?
I’d assume he didn’t.
F1 had its popularity peak when China kept cancelling the race.
I started late 2020
This looks pretty cool.
Very interesting concept

...
Apparently the drivers react to crashes and stuff in the actual game
hopefully they'll bring back the classic cars & the good old career mode from f1 2019
Their bringing back traditional career mode, race as a cureent driver, a F2 driver or make your own driver
I’ve been watching f1 since I was 4
So I’m assuming you’re now 5?

A bit older

i didn’t catch FP1 did the grass just catch alight?
Yeah, it was on fire. 🗿
lol?
Lel. 
Nico is in the Sky Sports commentator box 
He just said "Who knows, maybe Lando gets his first win here" 

The rain has apparently started according to the drivers, interesting
its so weird seeing these cars at this track
It really is
Bottom 5:
Gasly
Ocon
Albon
Tsunoda
Sargeant
Zhou is through to SQ2 
Why is that same piece of the track on fire again
Oh, skidblocks are causing the fires
alpine - 💩
Put Williams in that too bcuz that car is not performing rn
3 minute delay for SQ2
It's raining
Bottom 5:
Russell
Magnussen
Hulkenberg
Riccardo
Stroll
Zhou is through to SQ3 holy hell

The track is wet, and has officially been declared a wet track meaning no DRS anymore
wait bottas is through too ?
damn
It was mostly just luck of the game
Because had it not been for the rain, Russell definitely would've improved enough to get into SQ3
that sq3 is wild
put norris on top back
that may be the most exciting session so far that season
What the hell just went on there 
4 different people went top of the charts only to have their laps deleted
Yeah, these decisions by these guys in the pits isn't smart
This is honestly such a crazy grid
maybe I' m gonna wake up at 5am to watch the sprint
Unfortunately, the 2 Saubers didn't have the pace to get higher than P9-P10 respectively
Not the first time.
Here's our grid for the Sprint
If you missed this Sprint Quali, I'm so sorry for you. This was so intense down to the literal last second
I missed the sprint qualifying 💀
but I'm happy to see Lando getting the sprint pole
In the span of 8 minutes, it's more exciting than any other session I have watched
Beyond AD '21 ofc 
Lando by 1.2? Tf did I miss
One hell of a session that's for sure
I can’t watch f1 in school :/
Fantastic SQ session
That rain absolutely sent the session into chaos and I couldn't have thought of a better way for today to go
Now if only I remember to stay off of F1 social media

lando payed the stewards to reinstate his lap time he needs to be cancelled 🙏👍 always the british drivers
Womp Womp
Oh god, you need to shut up
Yeah, this is just TeamLH levels of conspiracy. 👍
Honestly man, this shit is obvious as to why it's reinstated but you state bullshit levels of stuff
i love how u took that literally and didn’t notice sarcasm
Bad sarcasm, judging from your chat history. 0/10. 🥴
And because of this even if I know it, it's 100% trash. 🥴
Ayo what the lando doing
gets roasted
deploy bro it's a joke/sarcasm protocol
Average "funny" internet user.
Mfw
Fr. Bro probably is an LH fan.
More of a Max/RB fan, but it's just as brainded as TeamLH's. 
True, don’t tend to notice any differences there.
Yea it's the same type of people, they just chose a different side of that barricade.
moment
insert illusion of choice meme with the end goal being "being unsufferable online" lmao
Exactly that.
Also sorry, forgot to unping you...
It's fine to ping me whenever for actual posts, no ping rules exist to slap trolls and other AIs on Discord
i literally put emojis to make it as clear as possible but everyone in this server are probably teachers pets and don’t know jokes
If nobody finds you funny then maybe joking is not for you.
It was kinda funny
Should just put /s next time so people know it’s sarcasm. Hard to get tone through text
quali's on a firday are just so big brain -_-
Lando Norris’ pole lap vs. Max Verstappen’s P4 lap.
The RB20 really suffered from lack of grip. Gotta hand it to Lando for putting together arguably the best lap of his career. Delivered in a high-pressure …
💖 235 🔁 24
I think it's clear the Red Bull doesn't like the wet
That or the Inter really isn't good in the wets
I bet its redbulls not being able to generate temp properly. The fact that the redbull is known to be kind on tyres also supports that.
It's also a question of who bet more on a wet setup, cause there's no way Red Bull is downforce deficient overall compared to McLaren in equal setting.
Yeah that too, i think that might actually align with temp generation in redbulls case
A wet setup for redbull might involve one or two methods to fire up tyres more, at least thats what i would guess
I mean, it could definitely be a setup thing considering that a few drivers were more stable than the RB and produced laps better.
Also felt like max was a lil too eager that sesh but thats hard to judge from the outside
It’s time 
At 5am 
Yea I don’t do times past midnight I actually have a normal human schedule 🗿
Rip Norris
Yup Norris is done
What a shame
Is it just me or does that RB not have pace like other tracks?
Feels as if Max is either down on pace or this isn't a track for them
Gone wide.
Inb4 rb has made a car only good for the lead like Mercedes used to do
Battery problems
Well Max is managing
Lewis reporting bad performance in slow speed turns
And there's Max on his old foe
There we go, yeah it's expected at this point
There we go.
Figured
Woah.
Max wins the sprint!
We have to be honest, Max is a driver for the records. 12 seconds in 11 laps since he overtook Hamilton
I've seen this podium before 
Either that Merc is bad or Hamilton can't keep up bcuz how is he 1.5 slower than Max a lap
That mic is horrid
And now that one doesn't work
What a disastrous podium ceremony
Ah yes, Max & Hamilton on the front row
Can we talk about how Max pulled out 12 seconds in 9 laps
Yeah
Idk why their doing this
Cuz at this rate 2016 Merc is making a return
Bruh 55% chance of rain in Shanghai during Quali times
Rain is great

#F1 #Formula1 #FIA
As if it wasn't bad enough for Alonso
me when lando wins a race - 👴
Yeah but I think that he def deserved the penalty for sending it so hard
Bottom 5:
Zhou
Magnussen
Hamilton
Tsunoda
Sargeant
Yes, that means the Alpines are somehow through to Q2
In 10th & 12th respectively
Lockup into Turn 14 aka the Hairpin
Nothing yet
Tsunoda out again and ric through is interesting
They say there is chances of it, but it doesn't look like it's gonna strike at the moment
Also, the Alpines surprised us all
Their finally not in 19th and 20th 
toto is gonna smash something
That’s the bare minimum 
Me please?
I think Hamilton didn't readapt to the Quali conditions
Because with that lock up, he managed to lose 6 tenths to Russell
Zhou was so close to getting into Q2 as well, could've knocked out Perez if he improved enough
Damn what Perez doing in 14th yikes
15th
He's badly off the pace oddly enough, Verstappen is fighting the top, Perez is hardly keeping up
Feels similar to last year
Yeah, he has a habit of bad qualis and good races
Although to be honest, the RB isn't all that good for this track oddly
McLaren's pace in this track is actually crazy good
riperoni sainz
Oh god, there goes Sainz
Oh shit
Yup Red Flag
Didn’t expect that
I just looked up and saw the car went spinerroni
He just took some gravel causing him to spin
I think your video is underexposed you should pump up the whites a bit more 🗿
Oh he's going again
it's perfect on my end, tho every capture device gets fucked
Luckily it looks like it's only front wing
Yea I’m just teasing
ik ik
Sainz is so lucky there that he kept that engine going
ngl no wing f1 car looks kind of cool
Will be interesting to see if Ferrari can get the car fixed/if it’s drivable
well he is driving it
I should say safe to drive
I mean he's driving it, will it be drivable to get it in a Quali lap?
Or worth driving
This is gonna be very interesting, don't know if he'll get back
He was smart with turning to let the front take the damage 
Was it intentional or luck?
After seeing this my eyes are damaged
Honestly can't tell, if I get an on board to see his steering then maybe intentional
But honestly we are definitely gonna have to hand it more to luck
That’s my opinion
It defo feels like it's more luck of the draw with that grip loss there
So can we talk about Ocon, who is 0.052 off Q3 
3 minutes until Q2 is live again
Track will be busy
No doubt
Also, looks like Sainz doesn't have damage that forces him to retire
Looks like his front wing shattering saved him
Hm I thought track would be busy instantly
Tbf, most want to see if they feel they need improvement
Bottom 5:
Stroll
Riccardo
Ocon
Albon
Gasly
So yes, we have a Haas & a Sauber in Q3
And beat team mate
He's a driver that knows how to act under pressure and it shows
Can we just applaud Ferrari, managing to get a car that looked like it was going to be retired to being fully operational in 5 minutes
Impressive stuff
Ofc nothing like the 2020(?) Red Bull repair where they literally changed the whole suspension on Verstappen's car on the Grid
But still, it's impressive
Yea hard to top that
Max has mad pace
1.33.977 is his lap.
Top 3:
Verstappen
Perez
Alonso
The fact that 5 different drivers had P2 before Perez inevitably grabbed it at the end
100th Pole for Red Bull Racing 
Also Max made up 0.317 on his lap
Yea max was untouchable
Also good job from Perez making the most of quali for once
Glad I put him in my fantasy, but gutted he couldn’t do it in sprint.

Meanwhile Ferrari is still wasting time on Mercedes tractor of Russell.
Finally at least one passed.
