yay
yo imagine they recreate that great before-race show thing
it happened in 2016??? im forget

Santa Stroll š

- nice
What are the standings points wise rn?
Max is leading by 6 points
yep
Max 262.5
Lewis 256.5
that shit is close and we love it
no matter who wins, they deserve it fully, it's an amazing season
I'm afraid Max will lose cause of 2 takedowns in a row on him earlier. Mercedes form went up, gaps vanished so I'm ready to see #blessed take the 8th one 
Ik that asking to keep It clean is too much, but It's still annoying 
yeah the takedowns damaged his chances a lot
but considering how unpredictable this season seems to be..
inb4 perez now do the same 
No plz, don't need more Maldonado tier action 
23 race calendar confirmed for next year
https://twitter.com/F1/status/1449042599860477952?s=20
looks good
Singapore unsure ? And cmon get rid of Austin
spain can go away too, nothing good with that track
jeddah / barcelona / silverstone / austin / mexico city can fuck off, I'll allow the rest, and I want to see how much of a clusterfuck is miami
Yeah, Jeddah - Suzuka drawn by a 4 year old. Barcelona - Just crap. I'd keep silverstone on the calendar, but that's just my opinion. COTA - Just bad. Mexico - Just not good 
i heard its very good
The track surface is bumpy
i see
if anyone watched the the MotoGP race at COTA, the soil they built that track on is a joke and it literally has bumps that could damage an F1 cars suspension at the speeds they take corners, the whole section from Turn 3 to Turn 8 is doomed
Long story short
I can imagine this being a shitshow
Jeddah sperm circuit
Jeddah Slavery Facilityā¢ļø
Yep, looks garbage.
not possible to pass wtf
Monacow without walls poggy
but hey! fastest urban track ever in F1!!!1!1!1!!!

aha, because paper stats is why people watch F1
it's deff not the passing and the drama
ikr
we're in a dark age with these tracks
that and the stupid AWS predictions / participation awards
all those "most overtakes award", "fastest pit stop award" etc.
and I'm throwing the quali sprint races in that category
ok quali sprint is nice on some tracks
but the most overtakes is just showing how bad you do in quali compared to the race
or you are not consisten where you lose and gain positions š
Stats are cool and interesting, but lets not reward them for getting out of a bed pls
also that hell of a calendar will be appreciated by the teams, for sure 
23 races, triple and double headers everywhere, marvelous
Working in f1 must be pain with all that traveling honestly
right ?
like what the actual fuck is this ?
I though F1 was trying hard to be "green"
Wouldn't it make more sense if they just like did all the races in middle east first then do all the europe stuff then the US stuff instead of like going to Australia then head straight back to Italy for Imola for example
Correct me if I'm wrong tho
whoops lmao
Because F1 is trying hard to reduce their carbon footprint with all the eco fuel and stuff... wait... THE DAMN TRAVELING!
Like I hate all this PR crap done by F1. The message is good but their actions clearly state that they are selective and hypocritical of things. Honestly the Chinese GP should be boycotted every year by everyone if they want to say "Stop racism" (if you wonder why, they have concentration camps for minorities)
Or in this example the carbon footprint thing, but then they travel over the globe as if they are playing pin the tail on the donkey
So in the end, better just focus on the race on sunday and leave the rest for others to worry. Time wasting if focus on the drama :/
Good job 
lol
LMFAO Charles went to NY
This is the man that Ferrari relies on. This is the man that Ferrari believes will bring them championships. Absolute genius

Donāt worry, Carlos will hold the team together.
God bless Maurizio. He saved this damned team. Just hoping that we hit the ground running in 2022 like we did in 2017
why was he even sacked ?
No good reason
Ferrari being Ferrari.
Yes
Verstappen and hamilton keep colliding, Bottas wins title
Yes
Insert nico rosberg with all the explosions
Leclerc world champion with the 150 points left to get š¦¦
sharl
yes
unlearn talking
haas will drive their home grand prix in a russian livery
Plembskaand 
character development right there 

Hoping Ferrari can once again find Acure for their tires going off the cliff so fast
I'd say I'm Acurrently on a roll with these.
In a Honda museum they don't have a curator, they have an Acurator
I swear you're gonna get yourself a warning for joking too much with shit jokes šæ
These jokes are a poison and that would be Acure
Me when Salman
Fym go to bed it's 17 o'clock
God damn this doing numbers
Deko pls YES
Max knows Lewis is very cautious and takes full advantage of that
and lewis know that max will push no matter if he backs off or not, and he's now doing the same, that's why they crashed
really great battle for this year
mfw race is at 8:30 pm est pog
Itās at 1pm cst so I feel like you are wrong šæ
hulu says 8:30 pm
Hulu is stupid
TSN schedule says 1pm as well as the first post in this thread. So that would be like 3pm est.
nice
#F1: Vettel confirms Aston Martin will change the engine in his car. Means grid penalty for him. #AMuS, #USGP

Reports starting to come in that Russell will join Vettel on the back row after taking a new PU
2021 US GP: Free Practice 1 starting in 10 minutes
Its startung on 9:30pm for me
just tuned in, red flag?
no crash, seems like just a tech fault for Alonso
for what
FOR WHAT ???
Valtteri Bottas has taken a sixth ICE of the season which means he is set for a grid penalty #USGP #F1
Why does Bottas always get engine penalties LOL
wait what ? again ?!?
Apparently lol
Mercedes realised that Bottas doing better than Ham, so need to slow him down somehow
Bottas is testing all the parts that were questionable on Mercedes factory 
End of session, bit of drama right at the end, mick turns in to perez and kimi spins
Imo the Perez Mick incident shouldn't be penalized, If Bottas Grosjean Abu Dhabi 2019 FP2 Wasn't a penalty, why would that be a penalty?
2021 US GP: Free Practice 2 starting in 10 minutes
vettel, bottas, schumi and george, the Boys are at the back chilling
They be vibin
I would honestly be the happiest person alive if bottas actually somehow wins the championship

Bottas 2021 champion confirmed ? šæ
Yesh
They said they are only monitoring at T9 and T19 so they can cut all they want there technically
B R U H
Lmao
Pic of Lewis doing it aswell
Even Verstappen did it
maFIA Moment
Cannot wait to See What a creative Human like Daniel Can do with these āTrack Limitsā
blessed smile
Lets just forget everything and appreciate that daniel is living possibly best time of his life
Currently rain on circuit

Current on track condition
Wow
Rain seems to be more of a guarantee than a rarity in the second half of this season
no clue why the race is at 3 but airs at 8:30 for me
bruh
also F1 at 23:00 is going to be fun here 
Now you can feel what the rest of the world feels during races. šæ

23? Isn't that too late for EU? It says 21:45 here lmao.
technically in EU, but located at the east of south africa 
It's not too bad of a time imo, I actually like It there more than in the middle of everything during the day.
yea we get to watch the race on the couch after dinner with a beer
Well for me most races are at 5 and 6 am
I like that it is during afternoon for once.
Evening races would be good too.
yea that kind of shenanigans we only have to deal with with the asian races
iām just glad we have an afternoon race instead of being at the crack of dawn
what time is it there ? 8am ?
yea itās 12:49
So the large exit kerbs on the exit of Turn 1 have been removed (a driver did get airborne off one in W Series) and track limits will now be policed there as well as Turn 9 and Turn 19 #F1 #USGP
ususally it's around 5pm-6p.m on race day today it's 12:00 a.m
Pain
question is : why the fuck do we have a white line if you can go over the white line but not everywhere, depending on the the race director ?
For other racing series
Kind of like those gymnasiums in elementary schools that have lines for every sport known on the face of the earth šæ
that is what my school has/ kiwi
no but white line at the edge of the track is the limit for everyone
But not F1.šæ
F1 as well, as stated in the rules
Not anymore 
Alr boys who ya think is gonna win today?
Perez.
was about to say that
Ham ver crash.
one of the astons
Would be nice to see, without the Ver crash then.
My wet dreams
https://youtu.be/a8XzXMLVS4U if there is asphalt, its legal 
AUSTIN, Texas March 24, 2019 ā The first race at Circuit of The Americas, series officials have decided to allow drivers to use the run-off area exiting Turn 19 in order to reduce track limits controversies.
The wide expanse of run-off at Turn 19 allows drivers to carry more speed exiting the turn, and reduce lateral friction on the right-front...
kekW
Maz second?
the race is at 3pm est right?
in one and a half hours ye
bruh
vettel was just asked to say something in german and he replied by "i dont think there are very many germans here and if they are they will speak english
and then proceeded to ask people to not litter
what a fucking legend this man is.
so merc rear suspension is hot topic this week
it do be sus
ferrari also seem to be utilizing it
i too saw f1's video about it.
it seemed more subtle on the ferrari to me idk, that merc just dipped its ass
yep
They didnāt really explain how it worked very well in that video.
Just said, āyes itās ok, look some other teams do it too.ā Cause yāknow that always means that it is ok. šæ
the idea is basically that the compression of the rear end is made to be not linear. normally the faster you go the more pressure gets on the rear due to downforce, and it will compress the rear in a linear fashion (x amount faster means x amount more compression). on the mercedes there seems to be a point, a certain amount of pressure that causes the rear end to suddenly drop a lot.
the benefit of it was briefly described in the video, basically to flatten the rear wing and reduce drag.
how they achieve this non linear behaviour is pure speculation.
Yeah, I understand how it works normally. I also understand the advantages of it. I just wish they explained what exactly Mercedes were doing, and why itās legal.
Because it definitely seems kinda sketchy to me lol.
you're asking what the exact mechanism is that merc uses to achieve this? it isnt told because theres no way merc would tell anybody how they do it
Well yes, but they seem so confident itās legal lol.
and the reason that its legal is simply because theres no rule prohibiting it lmayo
theres no rule stating that your suspension should be linear
in fact linear is a bit of a misnomer anyways, usually they are progressively stiffer the further it compresses i think.
Yes, yes. Just seems similar to active suspension or whatever it was called.
Definitely raises eyebrows is all.
well if there is no active component in it then im not surprised merc is confident its legal. we dont know though.
Yea. Iām sure itās legal. Merc arenāt stupid enough to cheat for everyone to see lol. Just wish I had an insight into what they were doing. Iām curious lol.
yea i feel that. i love seeing technical stuff like that explained.
Didn't kimi do something similar a few years back iirc
the suspension trick they are using is nothing new or illegal, everyone on F1 twitter is making a scene about it like it's brand new cheating by merc
What exactly is the trick?
The car dipping thingy
it's like saying WHAT ?!!$$§ they are making setups for each car ???11?1
Yes I know that posh šæ
at some point, the gases in the suspensions can make the car drop significantly thus lowering the drag because the rear is lower and the wing angle of attack is also lower
= top speed
everyone is doing that
colton is asking for the exact mechanism but i dont think anyone here can give a sensible answer to it.
Yes, but if everyone is doing it then why can no one explain to me how it functions. Lmfao
let me find the tweet, it's a perfect explanation
You make it sound like itās public knowledge
pretty much
A thread about #F1 trick rear suspension.
Teams have been using a trick set up called "collapsible rear heave springs". This boosts top speed and has been a trick used knowingly by all teams for years.
301
2023
Craig Scarborough, 20+ years of F1 lectures
basically, it's something used by everyone for years already, and newbies / F1 is making a scene to generate drama and audience
craig himself says in that thread that the mercs dip is way more significant than anything we've seen before though
Thanks you 
oh yeah for sure
probably just a different way of compressing the suspension
that's the interesting part tho
yea exactly, the exact trick that merc uses we dont know
Yeah. I knew we wouldnāt know that. I just was hoping for a better explanation of how they can make suspension that isnāt computer controlled almost look computer controlled.
clever mechanical wizardry is the answer
Yes. Always interesting to see how they do this stuff.
ah that I don't know
maybe they're using a second chamber and moving some fluids here when it reaches a certain pressure in the main chamber, thus lowering dramatically the suspension in a few seconds
if there is anything i've learned in some of my courses in college its that mass damper systems are extremely fucky.
oh yeah, hell yeah
and I didn't attend college, so I can imagine how fucked up they are with your point of view 
i mean i dropped out so dont get any illusions 
what kind of job do you expect me to get there
and i already have a job rn
also not to be pedantic, but max' home is in monaco lol.
smells like bitch in there energy 
yeah true, we know why 
absolute unit good lord
mans asked megan thee stallion to freestyle šæ
who
cares
unit
shit I'm already starting to sleep on my wheel 
2 hours of F1 at goddamn COTA is going to be fun eh ?
shaq is 1.84 F1 long 
'murica
absolutely beautiful
fking simp 
guy, just texan 
shut
you really dont know anymore these days
i was gonna type lass but then they played the clip on ziggo and the voice sounded more masculine lol
Well can see we in america now
alright, good race fellas, I'm not looking here since there's a delay of a few minutes on my side
bruh the race isnāt a stand alone broadcast on hulu
itās combined with the pre race interviews thing
mans
womans
horny bonk
What
F1 cars look fast
Lights out!
still formation lap for me šØš»
Ferrari mclaren what a battle
Yes
Spicy start
When Canada has a disagreement T1.
Not enough apologizing. Fake
Yuki having a good start for once.
Amazing.
David Croft wins the United States Grand Prix š„³
What's going on with the Alpines?
Blue whale just has 0 pace this weekend.
toothpaste cars on a dull performance
Undercut incoming
sharl has an uppercut coming
Ok
Idk what Merc strategy is, but It's not looking great.
connection error fuck yea
Gasly getting unlucky again 
Bold of you to assume they have a strategy 
Ah fak, my bad.
I guess they wanted Max to destroy his tires early? Idfk honestly
Instead they just gave Max a comfortable gap for no reason.
It didn't work of course
Gasly suspensioff
As it's Acurantly standing, it's gonna be a boring Max win 
Or Lewis, idk
Alonso looking super desperate today.
alonso 
Alpine's desperate radio 
Raikkonnen wasn't outside the track limits
At least absolutely not as much as Alonso
Where are they right? Alonso forced a driver off the track and then just drove off himself, 2 completely different causes of being outside the track.
There's a difference between divebombing and missing the track vs being actually forced off physically by another car with contact.
mmh
Yeah it's just Alonso's fault
They were trying to argue that It's the same thing, while their driver messed up on both occasions 

Gotta give him props for making action and funny situations 
What happened
He pushed an Alfa to outside again 
LMFAO
Dropped 10 seconds to Kimi while messing with Gio, he's so mad 
Honestly Leclerc just vibing
Leclerc in his own space yep.

Ay Alonso just did that for me
Max struggling with the rears
Evil Hamilton be like
Impossible.
Wow Max fucked rn
idk about that
You're so far back lol.
Ferrari moment
yes
Legit throwing Carlos' race.
Damn this race is shit
Not a lot happened, yeah.
Unless a safety car happens and messes everything up it'll be shit
I'm fighting hard against my head wanting to explode the keyboard atm
sleepy as hell
ResidentSleeper
ocon started P11 šæ
I've spent more time playing on my phone than watching the race
got mario kart cemu opened on the main monitor
bruh, ocon so slow they prefer to retire the car
Lmao
yeah he won the race in hungary, but he's not good enough, let's face it
his win was rng bless
true
thanks butt ass for the 7-10 split
hungary
T1 shitfest
gigalonso behind
wet
he's getting absolutely destroyed in every race since he's in F1
mfw my dad is a lewis rider because heās fast šæ
Also Sainz no damage pog?
There was some light damage I think.
Who's winning?
Daniel fuck off 
Vax Merstappen
Max sextappen
He's scraping all the time
Fuckfuckfuck
His race really got destroyed by being put back at that pit.
DANIEL I STG
On pace Ferrari had 4-5 easily I feel, but with this damage Carlos might actually drop 1 or 2 positions from 6.
His progress basically came to a halt in less than 2s zone actually.
Come on please get the win
All of a sudden, suspensioff happens for one of the top 2
nandooooooooo 
Kimi noticed this and pulled out a sick slide to the gravel 
Bottas sitting afk in Sainz DRS too 
Great track for overtaking
Frustrating
Oh no it's gonna be super max spam fuckfuckfuck
This time It's more Mercedes being shit than Max being super.
Just don't spam pls 
You're asking for It.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
No I'm quite literally not
The more you repeat It the more It looks like asking for It.
No It's the most annoying thing ever
Max driver of the day with 22% of votes.
Driver of the day is literally no one 
Honestly wasn't a good race
boring race but at least
Not good? Bro I can't remember a worst race this season 
We don't count Spa
Francorchamps 
Bruh
The race was boring, yep. Only Alonso circus being entertaining for a moment.
Also Zandvoort kinda
Oh yeah Zandvoort happened
I want to say monaco but it was just a 2 hours quali 
me and my refreshing glass of lewis fan tears
Honestly we got a good meme from it so it's ok
I don't think tears are refreshing
Max 287.5
Lewis 275.5
feels great to see someone else than lewis P1
Tears are salty bro 
Anyway I'm just supporting Max because Lewis wins every year 
bro tires.
i like salt in my tea
I'm happy to see anyone but lewis winning the title / races, we had enough of that guy already
not that he's bad or hated, he's one of the best ever
but ffs, 7 titles, an absolute domination of the V6TH era, this needs to stop
Yeah, exactly my point
Bro Max won 8 races this season 
yes ?
Yes, but this isn't Hamilton's first season 

100 race wins tho 
Looking at this season
but we aren't looking at this season alone
What my point is that the race was shit 
oh definitely
Lewis also didn't get to be on the receiving end in demolition derby as often.
Hey at least there was a race 
just happy for max
and we had a few fun battles with alonso and mclaren
At least all of those races were good 
Alonso being a clown was funny anyway
silverstone
Literally amazing race though
dogshit
You know Sharl enjoyed that Ferrari being boosted to P1.
The excitement of Hamilton catching up was great
track is dogshit
race was dogshit
start to crash was astonishingly good
Bruh Silverstone was the biggest cock block to Ferrari, I liked it because it was good
Also Silverstone is a good track don't even
Sure Sharl 
Wow, Mexicans in Texas, some people aren't going to like that
don't worry, they're disguised as mario 
Wait is Mexico or interlagos next
mexico
what the
the fuck is going on 
America š¤
mexico -> brazil -> qatar -> jeddah -> abu dhabi
Where's Georges Lucas
Pog triple header
Abu Dhabi got redesigned this year
It doesn't look too bad now
I'm surprised only Gasly had a suspensioff
only interlagos and yas marina are good 
yas not so much ngl, let's hope the redesign is better
Alonso had rear wing problems iirc.
Qatar is a Moto GP track so the racing will probably be bad
and jeddah is a left 4 dead map atm
Expecting both new tracks to be horrible.
Both Alpines had wing issues
shaq looking kinda awkward on that podium ngl
alpine has a team issue as a whole tbh
Race was dogshit I agree but Silverstone as a track is fun to drive on imo
1 point for aston
I hate it
I know a lot of people like it, but I don't
Doesn't make it bad
Fair enough, I know ppl who like sepang but I can't see what's so good about it so we're on the same boat here loko
it's bad for me
Sepang is really nice imo, could be the fact that I've spent like 40h driving around it
I just wanted to mention that the Mexico GP will be the 4th race on a track (re)designed by Hermann Tilke in a row
Damn that Photoshop
Doesn't look very effective.
It is, the Ferrari rolled over whilst the McLaren DNFd
That smoke out of the car though
