You folks have no idea how much I've missed our F1 yappings
Russel and Antonelli were going at each other like Rosberg and Hamilton back then

Hehehe, sorry to make you worried
Thankfully things seem to be on the up
Internet is connected once more, the war seems to finally be ending, and I am so happy to finally be back
The war experience was rathrr scary, I wouldn't wish it on anyone

i am sure im definitely sure

severe spindle
#

I am glad you understand

#

I am so happy that it is over though

#

Now I can once again chat about F1 with you guys

#

And I gotta say, I've been liking 2026 so far

#

Not sure what we call this new era of cars, but I am really liking how much closer the racing has become

#

Mercedes is fastest obviously, but there's generally a higher element of unpredictability

#

I really like their designs too, they are as small as 2012 cars

granite tangle
#

i like how they look, and im loving that kimi is giving the belt to russel

#

the rest im not fully vibing with

#

but thats okay because lemans is approaching and im so incredibly hype for that

severe spindle
#

hehehe

#

True enough

#

There's definitely alot of kinks to be worked out
And it is indeed crazy that Kimi in his 2nd season is already whipping up Russel pretty badly

#

This certainly isn't what Russel signed up for

#

Will say, following F1 during internet lockdown was a hassle, so it was entertainment if nothing else

ABSOLUTE GENIUS RECRUITMENT! How Ferrari Signed Schumacher, Brawn a...

You might have seen the news about Gianpiero Lambiase leaving Red Bull recently, further adding to speculation that Max Verstappen might be leaving F1, as it's yet another key part of the Red Bull operation that has left, along with the others such as Marshall, Newey and Courtenay.

But in the 1990s, key members of Benetton left that team and th...

▶ Play video
#

THis was an interesting watch, and it sparked some ideas within me

#

Like the video said, some components in F1 just work better with each other, especially when they're all successful components

#

So if GP is going to McLaren, could Max also go there realistically? Doesn't seem entirely unlikely

#

Red Bull have been eyeing Oscar since before 2022, and Max isn't working so well with Red Bull anymore now that all the pieces he had grown used to are no longer there

#

What I fear however personally is that Max will become another case like Ricciardo if he makes that move

#

Where he isn't as favored as Lando, and he just cannot come to grips with the cars that McLaren make

#

Ricciardo struggled from the way the Renaults and Red Bulls handled to the way the McLarens handled, and Ricciardo and Max have very similar aggressive driving styles

#

Realistically we can only have a WDC for Max at McLaren if McLaren, much like Ferrari back then, does everything to tailor the car and team to Max

#

Cause I think we can agree that Lando is not on Max' level

granite tangle
#

it seems unlikely that zac brown would want to even further tangle things up

granite tangle
#

thats not to say i dont love daniel, before max i was rooting for him, and before him i was rooting for seb

#

i rooted for daniel at mclaren too, he did not struggle as much as people make it out to be with their car. That team was actively trying to fuck him over to get him gone the moment they realized lando was actually good

granite tangle
# severe spindle Realistically we can only have a WDC for Max at McLaren if McLaren, much like Fe...

also about this ^ who do you think mclaren is tailoring to, because i mean now lando and oscar are pretty much equal race pace on track, and last year noone was favored. Lando and Oscar also drive quite differently from one another. The point is, if you were to put a max verstappen or a hamilton or a leclerc in a mclaren, with their current environment against lets say norris, the one winning would be the best driver

#

that being said i think its impossible for max to leave redbull right now for any team, unless its a sabbatical from f1 entirely so he can fuck off and do NLS and WEC

#

redbull right now has: 1) promise with the car if it shaves off the few final kilos of weight, 2) not a terrible engine, 3) a Lemans offer with ford on the table for 2027, 4) they let him do any other discipline racing on free weekends as he wants

severe spindle
#

With even a legal case to back it up

severe spindle
severe spindle
granite tangle
#

if you look at race strategies and how he would qualify well but always fall back in the race, that man went through the 7 circles of hell at mclaren

#

yes he was washed in the teams after mclaren, but during his mclaren stint that team broke him

severe spindle
granite tangle
#

mentally

severe spindle
#

Of course, it's not like every team operates the same as every other team

granite tangle
#

yeah but only cause oscar forgot how to drive during the second half of the season

severe spindle
#

Some teams favor oen driver whilst some favor both

#

Both of which can lead to problems of different kinds

granite tangle
#

so could you argue the car was tailored to none, or did lando win with a car not tailored to him

severe spindle
severe spindle
#

A very shakey win, but a win nonetheless

granite tangle
#

some times every few years a team appears that they are dominant enough that they dont have to favor anyone

#

mclaren last year, mercedes '16 and this year

#

lets not kid ourselves theres no way suddenly in 2016 mercedes favored rosberg right?

severe spindle
#

That is true enough, but at times a team needs their star driver to succeed
Who knows, maybe Ferrari wouldn't have had their dominant early 2000s period without Schumacher

#

In sptie of having a fantastic car and team

severe spindle
#

Which I guess made sense since Valtteri clearly was the worse driver

granite tangle
#

the redbull philosophy would be that if mclaren lets say were to favor 100% lando and 0% piastri or vice versa, then lando would be 30 seconds ahead and clear every race, and piastri would still secure enough points for the constructor's championship

severe spindle
#

But damn, it was a brutal period for a number 2 driver

severe spindle
#

They have a generational talent of a driver, whilst others just have very Good drivers

#

So they make sure that talent isn't spared any expenses

#

Whilst those other teams just make sure both drivers get the same craft and race pace

#

It may also explain why Red Bull since Webber hasn't had a stable team relationship with drivers constantly coming and going and there always being a clearly better driver

#

Vettel over Webber, Ricciardo over Vettel, Max over Ricciardo, Albon, Gasly, Perez, Lawson, Tsunoda and now Hadjar

#

Though Hadjar's performance does seem to match Max the best out of most of the teammates he's had

severe spindle
#

New TP, new staff, new designers, no Marko in sight

#

Might be becoming a more balanced team like McLaren or Mercedes

granite tangle
severe spindle
#

Jesus christ mate

#

Monaco GP circuit is EXCLUSIVELY Gay Mode

#

No straight mode allowed for F1

severe spindle
#

Kind of defeats the point of the new regs then
Gotta readjust them for 2027

glacial pine
severe spindle
#

The aeros activate regardless of distance

#

It's the amount of ERS power you get when you have straight mode

#

since Monaco doesn't have any valid overtaking place, a straight mode is just garantueed to cause a crash

#

Hence why they don't allow it at all in this race, at least for this season

#

Given what happened to Ollie at Japan, the power deficit between a car in normal mode and a car in overtake+straight mode is very huge

#

So a crash is inevitable, especially on a circuit where driving normally is a challenge, let alone driving competitively

#

I do wonder however if the considerable size decrease will at least let the drivers overtake more easily

glacial pine
#

Oh there will be chaos

#

They've also massively altered the way the motor stuff works

#

@granite tangle consult the graph. Could make a corner exit mistake a BIGGER punishment

png-2.png
#

The 350kW drop off beginfs far earlier, if more shallow, than usual

#

This will punish a bad exist more harshly than it has been so far

severe spindle
#

Hmm, good thing that they're constantly changing and evolving the new regulations

glacial pine
#

The green graphs there are Monaco exclusive

#

But it's fun that it's flexible

#

This will make for INCREDIBLE comparisons with Formula E and Formula 2 qualifying by next autumn

severe spindle
#

No doubt

#

it'll be interesting to see

#

Also, rmemebe rhow people memed that these F1 new gen cars may be at times slower than F2?

#

Well it just so happens that the Aston Martin has actually lapped slower than the slowest F2 car of the day before's race

#

Like jesus christ, i don't know if Aston can pull themselves out of this hole they're in quickly enough

#

They have alot of money, so they have alot higher of a ceiling than say Williams or Haas

#

But their current car really requires some work

glacial pine
#

Let's see if Cadillac or Aston can get an honest Good Result first this year

severe spindle
#

For sure man, for sure

#

Both seem likely for at least one good result

#

Cadillac is doing everything right, they're just so inexperienced so they're inherently on the backfoot

#

And Aston has infintie money glitch so they can money pit their way into a good result at some point

#

Monaco could very well be the place for them, given even slow cars go fast around there
So if they do a good qualifying, they could be in the points

severe spindle
granite tangle
#

After 200kmh they’ll limit the power on cars for the race

#

Might as well watch the formation lap and close it

It’s gonna be a parade anyway

great, now the car can look.... like that, whilst being dead last

May i just mention the fact that this team hasn't had a proper special livery since the Aston Martin rebrand

And the one time they make a drastic change, they are dead last in terms of performance

What a waste

Does anyone get the idea behind this livery? Why the bronze nose and fade?

Today I finally achieved a lifelong dream.

I bought a Ferrari.

But once I got my hands on it, I didn’t do anything for hours.

My mum said “Why aren’t you doing anything?”

Little did she know…

I was paying homage to the man who did nothing in a Ferrari for 10 years ❤️

#

Breaking the Monaco Curse is nothing apparently

granite tangle
#

monaco is a race like any other on the calendar

#

he's had a win capable car twice in his career and still has less to show for than even Alonso's ferrari tenure in inarguable their worst years ever

#

you cannot debate that charles even if he's an amazing driver, does not have enough career accolades in f1 to show for it compared to his peers

severe spindle
#

Brilliant man

severe spindle
#

Maybe it's because we have no other margin of him in any other team to compare his performance to

#

But I just don't get the hype around him

#

Whether if it's due to his own inadequcies or the cars always letting him down, he should have achieved much much more

#

Alonso reached basically driving perfection in 2010 and 2012, fighting at the front with a very much no top of the line car

granite tangle
#

people were saying that charles would completely demolish this version of hamilton

severe spindle
#

Charles.. never did that

#

he's always been very much behind, even more so when the car is bad

granite tangle
#

which hamilton has not been in his prime since like 2022-2023

#

but charles just

#

isnt

#

doing that

severe spindle
#

I think Charles is kind of just done

#

With F1 as a whole I mean

#

Not just Ferrari

#

he's no longer got that drive

granite tangle
#

charles or lewis

#

cause charles cant be done and sign the biggest contract extension ever

severe spindle
#

Let's be real

#

Charles is a money whore

#

He's more busy posing for pictures than practicing for races

#

So I don't think he extended the deal to actually honor it

granite tangle
#

lewis is at ferrari to rake in the amazing feeling of having the most passionate fans root for you

#

and being a ferrari driver as your legacy

#

as long as he wins a few races until he's done its going to be a good memory no matter what

#

charles has so much to prove

severe spindle
#

Indeed, he had many years to do

#

But his best moments argubaly came from when he wasn't in Ferrari

#

I swear, he should have stayed at Sauber or something

#

With his kind of sponsor money, it could have been a better direction

granite tangle
#

that could not happen

#

his sponsor money comes from him being the literal "chosen one" of ferrari and monaco

#

the chosen one cant be in a sauber

severe spindle
#

That's quite true

granite tangle
#

the problem is

severe spindle
#

Sadly that's the main problem with his situation

#

His talent would be better spent at literally any other team
But he would never have the kind of backing he does if he goes to any other team

granite tangle
#

the chosen one has not yet delivered what he "has been destined to do"

#

aka bring back a championship to ferrari and be a monagnesque world champion

#

i dont exactly blame him for that, its not even once in a generation that you see a "chosen one" live up to his expectations

#

but i also dont get the feeling bad for him part

#

if he was just a better driver than max and sainz in 2022 he would be world champion

severe spindle
#

I hate this "chosen one" notion in the first place
There never is a chosen one in F1, we've always seen this
Whether if you're a winner or a runner up, it's always only happens if the driver and team actually operate like a well oiled machine
Regardless of nationality or whatever sad made-up backstory you wanna tell the world so they cheer you on
Lewis, Alonso, Jenson, Vettel, Max, they never had this kind of notion, and it showed in their craft and work instead

#

Charles has no craft, he has no technique

#

he's slightly better than average driver stuck in a team that can never quite reach the top

#

He's like Felipe Massa

#

he's not THAT good, and he never has a good enough car to push for it

#

Charles has never even been a fucking runner up in a championship

granite tangle
#

nah hes better than a massa but he isnt as world class as people would like you to think

severe spindle
#

That's kind of embaressing

granite tangle
#

like if charles really really cared to show he is the best he'd either swap teams or go do it in other disciplines

severe spindle
granite tangle
#

FERRARI HAS THE BEST HYPERCAR PROGRAMME IN THE WORLD.

severe spindle
granite tangle
#

why is he not doing lemans?

severe spindle
#

He has had so many chances by this point

#

he should have taken at least one of them
Ferrari in F1 clearly isn't ever going back to the Schumacher era

granite tangle
#

the 296 was also the best GT3 car in the world for 2023-2025 arguably

#

he didnt even test it

severe spindle
#

And you know who did?

#

Du du du du

granite tangle
#

worse

#

he bought it

#

charles could ask for it and theyd gift him one

severe spindle
#

Really? oh my god, that's jyst way too embaressing

#

ngl, you seen the reveal trailer for the Luce with hamilton and Charles?

#

I lost any respect for Charles when he got involved with that

granite tangle
#

yeah i hate it

severe spindle
#

Hamilton has already proven himself

#

But Charles hasn't, so why is he even involved

#

He should be busting his balls trying to drag a Ferrari into Q3, not be posing for promotional shots

#

He's no Schumacher, that's for sure

granite tangle
#

i lost interest in off f1 things hamilton related ever since he sold off the whole hamilton collection and started dating that kardashian

severe spindle
#

yeah that wasn't great

#

Felt very ill timed too

#

It feels kind of unfair to hit Charles whilst he's already at the lowest point of his frankly pathetic career

#

But I feel like regardless of the level of performance of the cars he drives, he should have done way better

#

It's why I deem Sainz a better driver than him
Stats tell Charles a better driver, but Sainz has always had better heroics at any team he's been with

#

And it shows even still at Williams, which is supposed to be the 3rd slowest car and yet he's now consistently in the points with it

severe spindle
#

And I think so far it applies for 2026 as well
