yeah but i aint about to support briatore
he should even be legally allowed to lead this team
hes managed a loophole that makes him "acting" chairman of the team
havent seen someone be "acting" for so long
I don't disagree with that
I would have liked Alpine better if Briatore wasn't part of the charade
Hahaha
Everyone is thinking the same thing as me about Ferrari
gets a break from formula 1 racing, goes and participate in a NLS race, gets home from that and hops on iracing.
max is insane (positively) https://t.co/FWVbOBlzGQ
Also does this guy rest
Jesus christ man, they are sleepless
It's a risky move. It's bound to not work out most likely
But we'll have to see
IT'S BAKU WEEK!!
back in 2023 when charles got all three positions available and the redbull boys just let him be šš
(follow my baby lestappodium hehehe) https://t.co/7WZ8otLEzz
Tensions be strong
Boom. That's one of the McLaren drivers moved.
DS Penske have dropped 2017 and 2018 Techeetach (DS) drivers champion Vergne to do it, their higher points scorer of this year to boot.
I wonder where Vergne will end up.
alonso out having fun
https://vxtwitter.com/F1/status/1967549456993362037 @pale tinsel carlos and lewis repeat this next week?
Sainz š„ Perez
A huge incident late in our last visit to Baku!
#F1 #AzerbaijanGP https://t.co/s2fMM4BDEH
I sometimes forget how rich these people are
The Ferrari just suddenly turned in it seems
I would be confused as to what happpened too
There's a reason they're second in the constructors
they're fighting 1 car teams
Yes.
Apparently fielding two fast cars is difficult for Mercedes and Red Bull
The third team that can do it properly is Williams
"how dare Ferrari have the same ideas as the fastest car in formula 1"
That's the funniest tweet I've ever read
Interesting how the 2nd fastest car on the grid is still so far off the pace of the fastest team
twitter degrades ones' brain cells
I found a rather cool set of fanarts
Never thought I'd see a crossover between DMC and F1
I think we all know where this is going
we do
he's never gonna live it down
wasnt it on grill the grid where they showed a picture of the sign in the castle section
Indeed, I doubt he will given besides these one or two examples, he's generally been a pretty clean driver
and leclerc had PTSD xd
Hahaha, yeah I remember
As soon as he realized what track it was, asnd the lady said you have memory there, he was clearly struck hehe
you should drive baku in a game if you get the chance to
man that section is scary and extremely difficult
I hope I get to drive a modern F1 game one day
its less so the cars and more so how extremely narrow it is and how fast you approach it
The braking zone and the tightness can definitely throw someone off
And Baku itself is rather famous for some of the best drivers on the grid crashing
i mean its one of the tracks where even the most talented world champions get wrong all the time
yeah I can understand man. I actually saw part of the track one day, given we visited baku at the time they were making preps for the F1 race
Not sure what year however
hamilton screwd up big time in 21, verstappen has never won it to name a couple
oh max won in 22?
was it when both leclerc and sainz crashed
0h 2022 memes, i miss you
Another huge twist in the story of 2022, as the championship hots up in the Land of Fire...

Hollywood's understanding of racing is that every lap has to be a qualifying lap
i mean molly saying that makes sense
shes not a part of the team, nor is she a racing driver
Boom! Vergne transferred from DS to Citroen. Seperate teams!? That's wild
Still no word on if stellantis is starting a whole new operation for Citroen, or perhaps swapping the Maserati name out for it.
i wonder if they can ever do something to fix this race
i think it crosses a line where it becomes inhuman you know
Look... it's Baku race week. We HAVE to post this.
Sorry @AussieGrit, those are the rules š
#F1 #AzerbaijanGP https://t.co/yJtUKFIPqE
āBad memories.ā
When Charles Leclerc accidentally recreated his āI am stupidā crash at Baku on his Twitch stream. š https://t.co/IxkgpGuT7m
Yeah but she shouldn't even be acknowledged then
The guy on the right kind of looks like Max Verstappen
Man that'd be a shame
it does indeed. There should be some sort of fix to it
He was smoking harder than a Jamaican lol
Hahaha
Me too Leclerc
people will say blah blah hate this or whatever
but this is honestly great
only 1 qualifying
encourages teams to try the most on it
then you do reverse grid and normal grid
its good, its fun, and can make for some unlikely winners
That is a very Alonso thing to happen
brave
That's just even worse
My friend saw these when he was on the road
Thiese are most likely the Penske 963s
Found the culprit: https://vxtwitter.com/cytrusf1/status/1967991998914367819?s=46
So turns out that Alonso's DNF was caused by gravel from Norris hitting the suspension and damaging it...
Insanely bad luck
https://t.co/kLOBvoe9xU
More reason to dislike Norris
its okay alex we can refresh your memory!
QRT: Motorsport
Alex Albonās new ambition: live like Leo. š¾
quoting this image:
Wait what
alex albon said he would like to be leo (charle's leclerc's dog) because hes living in luxury and no worries etc etc
was quite an out of pocket quote
so it was quoted as so
and then the tweet above
is posting a leclerc vs albon f2 battle
implying albon has always been leclerc's dog
Holy I didn't even see the clip
its insane
people say leclerc is clean and all that dogshit
no, give him a chance to win and hes taking it with murder he dont give a fuck
thats why hes a great driver and not named lando norris

already watched this morning mate
wym this morning are you a vampire that opens up youtube at 6am
I woke up around 3, couldn't sleep and the video dropped so why not
im impressed
fell back asleep afterwards for another hour or so
i slept at 3
so I'm drained af
but before this dropped
lmao
mini is gonna be mad just watching the absurd preposterous branding of every brand š
okay some of them are way worse than i thought XD
that mclaren one is horrendous
yeah thats what i was watching when i said thatš
also
whats wrong with the red bull bedding? IM ROCKING THAT easily
Would be funny for the irony but I don't really fancy sleeping on a RB19
sleeping with rocky..
apart from that tho, for a small team their merch aint bad
when you get to that one
also they are the only team from memory who are selling their stuff (apart from the official polos) for cheap
like 21euros for the tshirts (on sale now) is like zara pricing nowadays

idk if this protesting in favor of the sport or against it, but no matter their agenda if they manage to do something its in favor of all to not race over there.
The "stop formula 1" banners were a bit of a giveaway
Finally some news that arenāt miserable for @severe spindle https://x.com/formularacers_/status/1968268640450715671?s=46
šØ | Aston Martin team principal Andy Cowell on the 2026 car:
"Adrian Newey has added a big lift to the approach the team is taking, and people are enjoying their work.
"They're smiling at the results they're seeing."
This is promising to read. I was worried it was going to be still downhill from herr
Aston may have a chance for 2026
well if you want even more hope
andy cowell isnt a big talker like horner, wolff, zac brown
when newey first came around and he was asked about his impact on the current car he massively downplayed how much help he was (lets not forget aston were literally backmarkers in the first part of the season and now they can actually compete for top10 in quali and race)
That's very true
He's already had an impact
So a full work by him could be even more effective
I am hopeful for an Aston potential dominance in 2026
Though I will say, we don't know how the other teams are doing
So maybe they'll cook something as good as Adrian's work too
Helmut Marko apparently said heās letting him race the 24 hours of the ring but heās not racing Lemans
Letās see XD
šØ | A paddock rumour that Ferrari are significantly behind their rivals in 2026 development has reportedly been "strategically circulated."
According to @Racingnews365, this rumour was created to make Ferrari a less attractive destination for engineers.
what
Things will change
What
I guess they're doing politics now
Le Mans is a level more professional than the N24h, it'd be easier to lose max to a Hypercar program than german GT3 cars
Found some F1 news about the synthetic fuels they're planning to use next year. And it's exactly what I expected
Teams are expecting possible fuel bills into hundreds of thousands of dollars per weekend.
Worthless shit info then
We won't see anything come of synthetic fuels
Literally nothing ever works out
This sport is fuckinb bullshit
@pale tinsel wtf is the redbull account posting ššš
By all accounts F1 is only even trying (they do own calculators) because VW group and Oil Companies were leaning on them to state that it's possible. Porsche REALLY wanted that synthetic fuels exemption to the EU ICE ban.
redbull's negotiations with max apparently: "soooo our car is gonna be shit but we will let you drive the 24hs and whatever gt3 race you want"
Okay this is enough reason for me to not support this team in the on-going season lol
It's fucking retarded is what it is
Nothing ever works out the way we want
So you support the ICE ban xd?
I know tweetman has his opinions but the first ever synthetic fuel good enough for the most prestige single seater championship in the world is gonna be fucking expensive
Doesnāt mean a VW polo will need the same fuel
And itās not going to be released now
Let them waste money and experiment for the possibility that in 10 years the public can maybe get their hands on it for significantly cheaper
Fucking sucks for the small teams, but F1 has always been about innovation not maximizing pre existing technology
No, but the fact taht the synthetic fuel cannot take off in any way pisses me off
we actively talk about it yet nobody can actually make it happen
it's just talks and nothing more
THing is, for now, only Motorsport will use Synthetic fuel
In a way to essentially test it out in hard conditions
Mate do you know how much longer the hydrogen folks have been trying compared to synthetic fuels
FIA has to appeal to the teams, they can't enforce what they say
So if 2 or 3 teams reject the idea, there goes the whole plan
There was no majority when there were talks about V10 engines
Thatās why the V8/10 was Vetoed for next year
They just skimmed over the idea altgether
They didnāt because all the big teams voted against it
And the small teams couldnāt afford restarting development
See? There's no majority then
So if you put Mercedes and the small teams together
That leaves ford redbull and Ferrari that support it
Also Honda was against it
So Aston voted against
That just proves my pont
At this rate, the synthetic fuel thing will never take off
I literally mentioned 80% of the teams were against
It'll just be another useless attempt at trying to keep things as we like it
You donāt overturn something with 1 or 2 you need majority vote
Fine
Still doesn't change that nothing ever happens
Those bastards at mercedes are why we're in the mess that we're in to begin with
Thatās somewhat true for sure
And the fact f1 couldnāt stomach Honda exiting so they pussied out on decreasing the hybrid
Is it tho, Honda and Audi now are only in it for the Hybrid tech
And nobody wants them to begin with
Mercedes doesnāt care they just know they have the best engine and thatās the only reason they are pro or against anything
THey don't contribute in doing anything but pissing everyone off
THe world's biggest spectacle of a motorsport is infact just a show put on by politics behind the curtains
You always take the extreme side on things, itās fucking annoying but the sport canāt function if the only engine suppliers are Mercedes and Ferrari
Alpine exited engine manufacturing because they suck at it and have no money
Yeah in the 60s with the cosworth engines maybe but not in our lifetime no
In the 2000s you had even tuning houses trying to enter with engines
Most teams use either Ferrari or Mercedes PUs anyway
We canāt be downscaling the sport it makes no sense when it has just gotten bigger and bigger
That's their fault
They overinflated it when it never had the legs to carry on like that
Sooner or later, F1 will collapse
Itās okay for small private non manufacturer affiliated teams to be customers but itās unacceptable for main tier teams to not make their own PUs
Haas can neither afford nor has the know how to make an engine from scratch, itās fine if they buy from Ferrari
Somebody should have told Aston Martin that
But instead of Audi and Renault becoming customers we need more of Cadillac making their own PUs from the next regs onward
At least McLaren Audi Cadillac Alpine should be also making power units
Mclaren's only excused because they've been running Mercedes PUs since their inception
Hell, for the longest time they were known as the Mercedes F1 team given they ran silver and wee always called MClaren-Mercede
Aston Martin isnāt a customer itās under a partnership so they are still okay on that, itās their own exclusive PU (same as Redbull their engine is ford)
That's only gonna happen next year
AM's been running mercedes units since their rebrand
Yeah Honda changed teams
yet they're allowed to be a manufactuer team and not even have their own engines
And Aston and Honda were always on very close terms
The redbull cars used to be Aston Martin Honda Red Bulls
That was a sponsorship
After the Infiniti Renault days
Infiniti and Aston were sponsorships, same as now that Aston is sponsoring their own team, Honda is making the engine in both cases
if they had close relations, why didn't get give Honda engines to AM too?
Ason isn't sponsoring their own team, that IS their own team
Now it is, but the power unit isnt and was never planned to be, convenient for them that Honda chose them to be their new exclusive partner in f1
God I hate them even more now
fuck Honda
At this rate, nothing will change cause nothing can change
Synthetic fuel will never come
And we'll just see more of Mercedes and Honda inserting their cancer into the sport
Regardless, this is reality anyway
it's always been about what suits the teams above all
I'm afraid that all the rest will be too, until someone invented some miracle that can squeeze the 0.05% of carbon in the atmosphere more efficiently.
Sorry
F1 is the perfect place for synthetic fuels, but I don't think they'll ever get much further. Costs will always be untenable due to the energy required to synthesize the fuel.
Perhaps with scale costs might reduce, but it's not industrial processes it's chemistry and you can't really skip steps.
Hydrogen Combustion is more likely to work at scale than synthetic fuels that's how ludicrous it all is
Hydrogen is a simple energy problem. Electrolysis to get it from water is simple, understood, but energy inefficient. But so is oil refining, and Motorsport has leant on that exclusively until 2014.
I seriously hope SOMEONE in the FIA is looking into the Toyota hydrogen Combustion technology as a possible avenue for the future of combustion Motorsport.
Big problem, sustainability wise, is that it is far far simpler and cheaper to just buy oil and crack those hydrocarbons apart to make hydrogen.
Alright, Audi are my opps now
Good lord
I feel bad for Ferrari
Audi F1 will be someone to look out for, to be sure

petition for f1 to adopt this as their official cat mascot
That's an awesome cat

THe thing I fear is that perhaps with MBS being usurped, the Arabic sponsors and funding could disappear too
Why we should adopt the Baku cat, a presentation:

Meow
Sponsor existed before them, they sponsored before MBS as well, he didnāt bring them
If they wish to leave when someone worth sacking leaves
They can leave
And if it gets real bad and the sport runs out of money sources (it wonāt) itāll just re-open the doors to tobacco and more blatant gambling sponsors to replace them
I mean the whole tobacco thing is a no go now
Gambing sponsors maybe
And I don't know about them being able to last withoyt rhe Arab money
Especially when they have several races in Middile East

šØ | Fernando Alonso on his F1 future:
"If the 2026 car is bad, there is a chance I continue another year to finish with a good taste in my mouth.
"If the car is good, 2026 will probably be my last year."
[@diarioas]
šØBREAKING: McLaren has simulated an engine failure for Piastri. A spokesperson has confirmed they have done this to even the playing field after Norris' hydraulic failure in Zandvoort.
@pale tinsel you know what this means right https://x.com/brakeboosted/status/1968972019573105150?s=46
CL : āWhere are they faster [McLaren] corners or straightsā
BB : āThey are faster in the corners, we are faster on the straights.ā
Hint: of the two teams, Ferrari is the one running higher df
I love that they shortened two people's names so aggressively that I don't have a clue who's saying what haha
Leclerc and Bozzi
I see
@pale tinsel NOT. CENTEL. NOT. FAKERS.
Norris hit the wall quite hard heās out for FP2
Piastri also touched the wall, no clear damage though
The mclarens are struggling on the soft quite a lot
@pale tinsel cope or hope
The learning new ways to break a man and make him suffer.
Hmm, So 2026 will likely be this last
demotion incoming
and that's yuki fucked
only team with a seat realistically now is alpine
unless red bull cut Liam Lawson
erik never lies
so
Someone on Twitter made a 3:25 minute long lando Norris lowlights compilation
šØ | Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson are under the most pressure from Red Bull, per @ErikvHaren.
The upcoming rounds will be instrumental in deciding their futures.
Apparently not even redbull knows who theyāre sacking
Thatās harsh
They won't have decided yet
They might even wait to the end of the season. They run the team in the belief that diamonds are created under IMMENSE pressure
Hmm, I can see that happening
That's been a common theme with Red Bull
Mario, Ferrari ran with their mindset since 1950, I doubt Red Bull who's so much younger wiill ever change
I can only hope the 2026 Red Bull is either good or both the 2026 Red Bull and 2026 VCARB are both horrible
oh i know they arent changing, not until they lose their diamond they wont
Of course
they were very lucky that they found and signed max so quickly after seb left
so why would they change that no1 driver centric mindset
Indeed, it really was a stroke of luck
they didnt even need to
but who do they have if max leaves
isack is talented for sure but hes not world champ material yet
It worked with Seb and Max, and turned Red Bull from a joke of a team into a pure juggernaut
So it's definitely something they take pride in
Especially if the car isn't there for the job either
promoting him to the main team is a career suicide for the kid, i will feel bad if they do it and he doesnt stick the landing
its less sad for tsunoda, that actually wished for his promotion, isack is against it and is seemingly going to be promoted against his wishes
You'd think they'd learn their lession with Gasly, Liam or Yuki, but nah, Red Bull never learns
gasly and albon both grew immensely, only after leaving
they also lost sainz mind you
these arent backmarker non talented drivers
indeed, they probably are quite salty of that
Though I am sure after his Williams performance, they don't feel so saltya nymore
though for missing out on sainz is more understandable, their choice was max or him
but the other drivers would have surely stayed around if they didnt get treated so harshly
That's a problem with Red Bull
THey fancy themselves an impressive team
When they only got where they got via short term means
They think themselves are bigger than the drivers
Ruined various great drivers' careers and more to come probably
They don't create any loyalty with their drivers, not to mention they focus only on Max
Who's by all means a good driver, but not as good as the car he drives
We'll see what happens, I find it hard to care about F1 when it feels like a joke
@pale tinsel i know youre not watching now but ferrari is really looking not bad for today, though i cant say the same for the soft tire
hey fernando could you repeat that in quali please
cant park there mates
Well that's too bad
A shame about Yuki and or Liam
might wanna grab that during the red flag? š¤£
Oh Im just out the shower and haven't opened my laptop yet lol
albon's binned it
they need to tow his car now
wont be green until then
idk how long that takes in this track
new hopium dropped
He's pretty good here
whys toto wolff ringing antonelli's phone when all the kid has to do is put out a lap within track limits to make q2
so much pressure
fuckin hell talk about putting pressure on the kid eh? just heard it
yeah man u gotta feel bad for kimi
love him or not he just needs some peace and quiet and he can make the lap easily
i get what hes trying to do
but if his gamble doesnt pay off hes gonna look like the biggest idiot in the paddock
don't think the ferraris needed to go out again ffs
probably on used softs
the track is also extremely green right now
you never know
give me rolex back as the timepiece, fuck lvmh
Bring it home Kimi there we go
kimis really pushing
totos words are still fresh i assume
p6
might even need to go again tbh
if he can
nah actually should be fine
this pains me
hows he done that then
i want to like the guy
but fuckin hell
I'm certain he was looking at gasly and lost concentration lmao
Aren't these guys meant to be good at this?
I can't get over this New Zealand Hose Doctor advert on the F1 channel

Small sacrifice for Sainz Pole
weathers taking a downturn and the track grips going away
Did you not shut it off
poncho's going on
i have now
i got no reason to live watch now
fill me in if the top 3 stays like this would you
I will donāt worry
I will also keep you informed with the latest Ferrari suicidal posts and memes
a sainz williams pole in a winless ferrari season
what a big fuck you to the scuderia
you love to see it
RIP carlos pole
you were great when we had you
my fuckass driver is here to ruin it
OSCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
IN THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL
ITS STILL SAINZ POLE SEASON
Piastri out?
So I assume Lando will be crashing
how long left?
top 3 still the same?
less than 4 minutes, top 3 same, and now its starting to rain again
williams might do it then
anyway, lando needs to crash
to keep it fair
obviously
oof just seen the crash on twitter. hit that at a decent speed to make the car leave the floor like that
so has everyone just gotten lance stroll syndrome then
SAINZZZZZZZ
I'm screaming
FUCKASS MAX AHHAHAHA
ALWAYS HIM
@pale tinsel tsunoda is ahead of norris, in P6 !!!!
way to go lad !!!
LAWSON P3 !!
Norris was so slow in the T4,5,6 it was painful to watch. I assumed it was the rain but everyone was doing so well
what a lineup
just seen the bottlejob stack it at 15, but that looked like a really scruffy lap
aside from that
Lewis Hamilton asked for advice and help after his Q2 lap because he was struggling with the rears: āany advice? some help? please!ā but not only that, he asked to swap tyres as well.
š» | Lewis Hamilton: āIs there time to swap tyres or not?ā
and Adami told him to stay out
cannot be arsed with this team man
Adami and Hamilton are not a good fit
I will start a gofundme for Ferrari to just pay Bono whatever to get him with Hamilton again man
T15 is not where he lost the lap
@severe spindle missed out on a banger, but i dont think he would be happy with Aston's results anyway
i swear all these drivers went on a night out or something last night there's no way they all became this crash happy
id believe it if we raced in thailand
some of them would be racing with sore backs for sure
The track had some WILD wing gusting which is probably what caught a lot of them out
@pale tinsel oh its bad mate, even snack brown is flaming your team's decisions https://x.com/the_zb_/status/1969393057725370781
I think some of the blame here is on Ferrari, for both of the drivers. Not good procedurally, and not good operationally.
I almost posted last night that the clearly obvious thing to do was to go HIGHER downforce spec given the way the car was behaving and how slippery the track
you know its bad when papaya rules > ferrari masterclass
don't want to think about the fallen horse
how does one's experience decrease EA
you know what the mad thing is
he started this game at 90
experience has remained the same
THat' pretty funny
Carlos Sainz redemption, le'ts go
Aston Martin's the most mixed bad team of all time
I will say, I definitely am surprised about the Mclaren not being higher
Seems like Verstappen may be trying to get on a comeback for WDC
Will say, while a better result from Ferrari or Aston would have been better
A williams podium for qualifying isn't anything to be upset at either
Will say, if Sainz could do this for the qualifying, and Albon is as good as he is with the car, I can certainly see both drivers ending up in the top 10
oscar crashed, and lando had every chance to take pole but he completely fumbled his lap attempt, even hitting the wall in turn 15
Oscar crashhing is certainly out of character
its never been done, its a huge huge deficit for max, almost 100 points
well if it's anyone who could do it, it's Max
he himself said hes not fighting for it, hes trying to understand the car and provide the team with info, while having fun
yeah but we would have to see oscar and lando crash like that or mess up multiple times in the next races, including not climbing up the ladder tomorrow...
classic Max
His whole team is blowing up and on fire from every facet and all of his teammates are suffering, yet he's just having fun
aint that why he and fernando get along so well XD
hahaha
Both are very retarded towards the bigger picture, that's for sure
Aloof, but quick
since they are multi time WDC winners we could probably agree that if youre quick enough its all you need XD
Yeah that's hard to argue. Not only are they quick, they also have a few WDCs each
Their attention is only the racing
probably why they never have much to say in grill the grid episodes
Esteban Ocon set to be thrown out of #AzerbaijanGP qualifying after the rear wing of his Haas didn't pass the FIA's deflection tests
Full story ā¬ļø
So not only haas somehow gave him a wing that doesnāt abide the regulations, they also managed to make it fucking bad enough for him to not be able to get past Q1
pffffft
They can't even cheat right
That's hilarious
Will he still be able to race if they can give him a regulated wing?
They might outright disqualify him idk
Will be unfortunate if so
I wonder if he'd actually say it

@granite tangle he's still in it
Hahaha
People must really hate mclaren to piss on their domination season this hard
Damn what do they think is happening tomorrow
While we're on the topic of coping
If Carlos Sainz Jr. wins then BlackPanthaa will uncancel Midnight Club soz
Cope of the century but we'll see
Lol
I hope Sainz gets a podium
Gets some stress alleviated from his poor performance
That corner is his achiele's heel
Bruh that Oscar crash was stupid
Needless
yeah colapinto is achilles if achilles was mortal everywhere except his heel
hahaha!
That's actually hilarious
So basically he fails at everything
man honestly what happened to Colapinto
I know his stint at Williams wasn't perfect or anything
But it seriously feels like an entirely different driver when his short performance then and his performance now don't seem to align at all
Same thing happened with Nyck
I'd say same with Oliver, but in his Ferrari outtings he was driving a far better car and his overaall skill and focus haven't degraded since Ferrari to Haas
He's still that same level of skill, just now in a worse car
he had something to prove then, no contract no seat, he was pushing 200% every race and looking good or crashing out
now he is under immense pressure
and his team boss is explicitly DONE with him crashing
Yet he can't even keep out of the walls and gravel
Like it'd be fine if he wasn't crashing at least
He was close to scoring his first point too previously
You'd think that'd make him push 200% again
I know the Alpine isn't that great, but the Williams he drove then was even worse
nah the williams was better just from engine power alone
Nah I don't think so
Williams has only gained back some dignity in 2025
I can't see briatore wanting Colpainto back
But I genuinely don't understand either how he messed it all up so badly
Pressure like that can bring nerves and the kind of stress where you just make mistakes
Yeah but it can also sometimes lead to great results
it's how Red Bull always operates
Like sure, 9 times out of 10 it'd lead to something going wrong
but you'd think at least that one time Colpainto would perform better
now youre speaking like helmut marko š¤£
Hehehe
its true yes but most of the time its the opposite
It's not that I agree that you need to pressure your drivers so much
Obviously that's more likely bound to make things not work out
But you wouldn't think Colapinto would be having such a bad time either
I would have imagined at Williams he was under pressure too to prove himself
i think its gonna do him best to leave the sport
but now that he has a bit firmer of a seat, he just doens't do anything
his countrymen paint his own image in a bad light
everyone wants to see him fail now because of the fan interaction
it cant be good for your mental that
Yeah no doubt about that
His driving is one thing, but the image and following that surrounds him makes it worse
Yeah it's what led to Norris' depression
and a toxic team enviroment in alpine
i think he needs to go race something else, prolly best thing for him to do
Yeah I agree with that
Formula E, Indycar
Both seem like good destinations for him
Either go the Nyck route, or the Grosjean route
he doesnt even have to go immediately tier 1
he can take a chill year
join indycar NXT instead of begging for offers
Yeah that's a good plan
or move to GT cars
And who knows, if he proves himself in either Indycar or Formula E eventually, he could either return to F1
or make it to LMH
I don't think Colapinto has the magic you need for F1
He's being crushed by the pressure and I don't think you can make it in F1 if you do that
i agree
thats why i said hes better off leaving by himself in his own terms
instead of sitting around as a reserve driver or whatever begging for a seat
okay maybe i felt too bad about him
Franco you're not doing either
I think he'd be better served trying his hand at Indycar than Formula E. Indy has far more crossover, skills wise, than formula E does with F1.
The only F1 drivers I think could thrive in FE are Verstappen, Alonso and Russell.
bloody hell that Azerbaijan national anthem is something
Omg I thought the race was 3pm
vcarb mechs are mental, fixed isacks hydraulic problem in like an hour
2026 constructors champs just wait and see
Who else is signing up to being a hose doctor then?
anyone else anxious with these 3 drivers leading into turn 1
max is on hards
he has no new mediums
because of the red flags yesterday
some are scrubbed only i imagine but interesting to start both max and yuki on the C4
Moron
Stalled. Oops
Welp, this race definitely isn't a mclaren podium
OSCAR IN THE WALL
Which is unusual
HES OUT
Oscar!!??
What happened
oh shit
My un stressable guy
Lando must crash now
Seems like Baku ended up the exception
All by himself oh my god
straight into it
Papaya rules
Looked carbon copy of his crash yesterday
he got completely shaken up by the start
no but its the same understeer straight into the wall
yeah he's not had a clean weekend
Wonder why things went so wrong
if lando follows papaya rules then max is back in this
im aboard
I am not
Fuck that shit
Fuck Max
So sour lmao
Fuck you too
If Bernie is right (she always is) he's jumped the start then I think he's just stressed himself out so much into making a really clumsy mistake
Fuck your family too
nah sour would be someone with sugar in his name
Damn Bernie is truly the best thing about Sky coverage
oh albon started on mediums too
She sees EVERYTHING
Why the fuck does the website not work anymore..
fair
I can't watch F1 anymore
Why isn't Ferrari offering her million bucks a weekend to run their team š¤£
Truuuu
oh and aura farming the drivers
All that money for a ditsun
Phat Browns gonna be such an insufferable oaf
Oh Alonso turbo jumped the start
Bein this time
wonder if a backwind caught piastri
Time to watch
they did say the wind today is even stronger
backwind..i meant tail wind
Didn't catch anyone else. I think he's buckling under the pressure this weekend
my boys 9 and 10 so far
@glacial pine when you have the hottest driver pairing you gotta do it
Why did it tag me lmao
god this safety car sounds amazing
š
cumworthy downshift sounds
TALIBANELLI PUSHED RUSSEL OUT HAHA
YUKI P5 GOOD LAD
charles is past norris too
just saw
Can't get over how pathetic narrow the bike lane is up past the castle
The Ferrari is SERIOUS in a straight line damn
we've brought back the 2019 engine confirmed
caught him with his pants down
norris only knows how to drive from first
what an alonso quote that
different brit tho XD
SIIIIIIIIIII REGAZZIIIIII
oh btw, @granite tangle i assume you bought f1 tv pro in greece? no need for a vpn?
Norris needs to survive the early laps chaos then pick off places when everyone calms down.
fuck sake man, sky sports f1 is screwing me man
Sky q and sky glass custoemrs
i either pay for sky sports which is like 40 quid a month or find a livestream
fuckin exclusivity deals man
And who's paying that £40 a month ahah
not me
Nor me
Me too
i bought f1tv cause the sky coverage was ass in 24
and also some rumors of fines for illegal streaming here
I wish we were allowed to have F1 TV
alleged 750⬠fine for piracy, 7.5⬠a month f1tv
i mean
choice made sense XD
I'd happily pay £7 a month for F1TV Pro
Yeah sometimes the streams are F1TV feed and it's a great team. PLUS I'd enjoy all the technical reporting
and can hold 4 devices at the same time instead of the 1 it promises XD or at least it used to im not sure if it does still now
theres also the onboards which are cool because you get live uncensored radio
easily
ain't there that multi viewer app too
wow look at this slipstream
good defending from yuki
looks proper comfy in this car
good fight between them
hes doing well
only thing im afraid for him is that max is clear of him
and hes on the medium thatll fall off
rain would help him a lot
oh hearing GP so sure and calm
i havent heard the word management in a long time
Yeetapinto
Talibinto
Alex AlBokoHaram
a safety car in 15 laps would be great for max
good work from liam
its not easy to do that
ive been critical oh him but hes having a blinder this weekend
sainz does NOT
want a safety car now
@pale tinsel charles cant get past lawson, hamilton is out of the fight and pitting now
i guess hope is lost aint it
SLOW STOP FOR NORRIS
noone to swap with him now though
fair play to him tbf
classic
RAIN PLEASE
NO ACTUALLY DON'T
Ferrari won't be able to cope
really rooting for tsunoda man
Leclerc let him by i assume
if Hamilton can't catch lando they'll swap back?
why am i feeling norris crash soon
Cause its norris
is it my gut or is it me hoping
we went from norris championship campaign to can he pass tsunoda and lawson
hamilton is catching
he's in drs
can i have some hopium in chat
the lawson train goes strong
okay yuki falls off drs
norris tries
fails
hamilton gets past the sleeping norris
ive thought it
now onto it being materialized
norris is empty
love these helmet cams
can hamilton down the main straight with battery and slipstream??
probably not
hopium tho
looks like he can't close up that last second or half second gap
or struggling to at least
Give lindblad another season in f2
or that's another career that will be ruined
mad to think its still only oscar has dnf'd so far
Lmao, led more laps than lando norris verstappen has š
what a drive from the rb boys
Oscar so far still has a race win in pocket if lando finishes 7th
man you cant be watching this and saying sack either of them
Sainz has done a solid job here ngl
You think Max gets bored? Starts looking around on the straights to take the scenery in
i know in 23 he used to watch driver battles on the TV
True he did do that
ADHD driving
max aint leaving man
hahaha george
"not bad considering ive been feeling shit all weekend"
what a great radio from carlos
š
apparently hamilton was told to let leclerc back through like just before the line
useless
but ferrari is ferrari
i doubt charles even cared about getting P8 back
this is how i imagine ricky adami be while lewis hamilton begs for any kind of informations
honestly man
Ferrari has money, pay Bono ffs
or at least get Ricky away from Hamilton, they clearly don't work well together
Oh Carlos š
#F1 #AzerbaijanGP @WilliamsRacing https://t.co/G3Bhh5PKvj
bozzi any better?
Glad Sainz got a podium
I am glad to hear the meme again
bozzi is better for charles than xavi was
ahem
can one of these embed
Just recovered by our team ā„ļø Proud of being part of Zone 4 ā„ļø #f1
416
Zone 4 (Atlanta)
All aboard the Verstacomeback Train @granite tangle
If Oscar tragically drinks a poisoned energy drink and is ruled out of the rest of the season...
Talibantonelli is my new favourite thing alongside Osama Bin Russell and the Verstaliban
Ikr
Itās destiny for these two to be teammates
Osama bin Russel recruited a new terrorist member
It just works
Led by Toto bin Wolff
