terrible time to be a Sauber fan

#

also 4 teams already above 200 points, and nobody else has even hit 100 points

# dim tide

If Ferrari wasn't struggling lately, Redbull would have felt some pressure from Ferrari because of checo

dim tide
#

yep

#

dumpster clean slate

dim tide
#

the only way I can put it is that Audi is doing so many duties with rearranging that the team has had a performance hit as they try to understand the new management

spiral hinge
#

can't possibly do worse than they are now so I'm sure that any influence by Audi will be positive

tardy socket
#

I wonder how Audi merch will look like

#

I hope it’s more Mercedes than RBR style

spiral hinge
#

I have a feeling it will be red/orange and black and might have 4 rings on it

#

not sure about the 4 rings though

tardy socket
#

I really dig the Tommy Hilfiger Mercedes merch

#

It doesn’t scream sports like the other brands

#

Not as much

dim tide
tulip wedge
dim tide
#

RBR and Red Bull are named together, but both are far separated that they can be assumed as almost unique entities

#

same applies to Mercedes who Toto Wolff said in an interview regarding Audi that their team is basically on a long leash

#

it operates like the upmost for a racing team, and Mercedes-Benz as a whole has very little influence beyond maybe engine development plans

tulip wedge
#

since the merch is going to be associated to the mother brand, I doubt that they are going for something that won't fit the premium/luxury image of Audi

dim tide
#

well Mercedes merch has always had a level of class to it, so I won't be surprised if Audi tries to outdo them yeah

#

although do expect some more logos to appear

#

I wouldn't mind if they just put them on the sleeves and called it a day

tulip wedge
#

I did a tour on their respective shop rn

#

Audi is looking pretty bland compared to merc

#

classy, but bland

#

The Porsche merch is sexy though :/ but they prefered endurance to F1

tardy socket
#

The lines have blurred though

tulip wedge
#

Audi can make sexy cars

#

But they haven't put as much though on their merch it seems

#

BMW has a whole design dept that can do other stuff than cars pepela

tardy socket
#

We’ll see. Porsche does a ton in that regard

#

Porsche Design stuff

#

Man, Porsche in F1 would’ve been great

dim tide
#

all German luxury is lease-worthy, the difference is what kind of person you are

#

if you literally do not care any amount about driving dynamics, an Audi will typically be the best in the business for that purpose

#

people have made claims that a heavy Model S Plaid would be more fun than an Audi RS6 because Audi sucks at tuning a chassis to something that's fun

tulip wedge
#

That sounds like a VW group problem beside the historic sport brands

#

the amount of time that I've heard the golf R said to be a boring hot hatch

dim tide
#

well no cause the Golf R is genuinely a fun little car now

#

obviously not as engaging as a Type-R but it has the shit you'll need to goof off

#

the Audi brand is literally that bad

tulip wedge
#

from what I can see on my island a TON of people are shilling the AudiQx, or the A1 if they don't have that much money. Same for BMW, ton of SUV or series 1. Mercedes wins in the sedan dpt.

It's been a while since I saw a BMW series 3 that isn't a decade-old pepela

they're fucking playing favorites over there

Joshua started ahead and was clearly the faster driver

Are we gonna be arguing about the results of a fictional team? kek

they performed so well because they were the first to realize that it was important to be fast in the corners

tardy socket

#

They're just trying to make a washed crybaby Sonny Hayes look good since they signed him back

#

Sonny Hayes is not like Alonso where he can just pop back into F1 like that

tardy socket
#

Bro what’s even the point of Sonny. Better to put a young talent as a no 2 driver and to push Joshua

dim tide
#

EXACTLY

#

They should've signed Oliver Bearman, bro

#

or Theo Pourchaire

#

Sonny does not take his position at APX seriously

tardy socket
#

I wonder what upgrades APX will bring for Hungary

dim tide
#

I heard rear wing updates

tardy socket
#

Hmm

dim tide
#

Hungary is a very tight and twisty circuit

#

they're gonna need the downforce

#

plus the Technical Director said they were prioritizing focus on the corners

#

they're going the opposite direction of AMR, Mercedes, and Ferrari

glad hound
#

This is some turn left to go right lightning McQueen shit, I hope they know what they're doing

dim tide
#

we all know Sonny isn't gonna make it this year despite the treatment he's gotten, why not just sign the guy who's done pretty well and is free next year???

tardy socket
#

Nah Sainz is still gambling on RBR seat with washed Checo getting axed

#

It’ll be a young driver. Maybe Yuki?

dim tide
#

Bro what

#

APX is with Mercedes

#

AMR has Honda in 2026

#

the only way I could see Yuki go to APX is if Honda was with APX

tardy socket
#

You don’t think that Yuki can survive without Honda money?

Good read on how Charles and Carlos talk to their race engineers

It’s just an intro to cars with smart features

#

Nico Hulkenberg doing insanely well for the car he is given

#

Has he signed a contract extension yet?

#

Cause I remember Toto stating that they will either get a really young driver onboard, or a really experienced one

tardy socket
#

Haas tried to keep him but he didn’t want to stay

#

Toto always rated Hulk, rumours say that he wanted him as Rosberg replacement

glad hound
#

Shoulda coulda wanna

sacred delta
# tardy socket Yes, with Audi

oh yeah, how does that work though? I still don't get it, is audi replacing another team, or will there be 22 drivers on the grid?

sacred delta
#

ahhh

#

I see

glad hound
#

FOM too selfish for an extra team or two with more seats to provide more opportunities for drivers

#

FIA approved Andretti team but then FOM said nah swad

bleak tiger

rip

glad hound
rare pumice
#

I mostly remember Sauber as the team that suffers under ferrari customer engines kek

tulip wedge
#

In F1 they've always been average from what I could read

dim tide
#

after the BMW years, yeah

#

BMW years they were in the top 3 teams, basically in the same respect as Mercedes is right now

#

but after that they didn't really have the right people and management to get anywhere special, and really only kept up in the midfield by just assembling newer facilities

#

you can think of their downfall in the same issue as Williams where the team never really got anyone to set it on the right track, but unlike Williams they're not using 20 year old technology

Formula 1® - The Official F1® Website

McLaren boss Andrea Stella says that far from being upset with Lando Norris’ initial refusal to follow instructions from the pit wall and let his team mate past for victory on Sunday, he would have been “very concerned” had the Brit simply waved Oscar Piastri through without a word of complaint.

Yeah sure mate

"Yeah, I raced until 3am, it is not something new for me and it is very important in my life...We talked about it and I said: 'you don't need to worry, there is no other race coming up', but it is not that I have a ban or whatever...I also don't need to tell them what they do in their private time during the weekend, and that is the same for me...I've won three world championships, I think I know pretty well what I can and cannot do, and I am always very hard on myself on what is and what isn't allowed with all the experience that I have in Formula 1."

#

ok wait checo is 7th in wdc how does he have a job 😭

paper pine
#

they gotta be activating that performance clause after Spa surellyyyy

rare pumice
#

but holy shit checo is fumbling the bag hard

paper pine
#

I can't see them throwing in Liam tbh, I still think Danny for the rest of the season and throw Liam into the VCARB against Yuki for a shootout to see who gets the RB seat in 2025 if Danny shits the bed

#

that would be the smart way to go about it imo

rare pumice
#

but apparently horner and marko didn't have yuki as their first pick for RB, was some other guy who brought yuki in

tardy socket
#

How much smaller must the gap be?

paper pine
#

I don't think anyone knows outside of Red Bull but theres been rumours that the performance clause can only be activated by RB after a certain amount of races, I imagine we'll hear something after Spa, especially if he drops a stinker

paper pine
#

Danny has at the very least proven (albeit 40 years ago) that he can perform at the highest level, putting him in the RB is a win win imo, if he flops, they're no worse off than when they had Perez but if he regains some old form, they'll be able to take the fight back to McLaren in the constructors

#

and gives the perfect opportunity to assess Liam and Yuki side by side

rare pumice
#

its like anti alonso

#

but id say danny still outclasses perez

#

now that 3 teams can challenge verstappen (probably sleep deprived) red bull probably feels that the WCC is gonezo

engine feels good, much zlower than before

amazing

dim tide
#

The problem with the McLaren-Honda revival was that the team culture wasn't meshing, and the engine was rushed into the series quicker than Honda wanted

#

I haven't heard anything about Honda having trouble with Aston Martin's environment, and AMR has given them a clear deadline and process for what they want out of the Honda F1 program

rare pumice
#

i think it they wanted like a tiny asf engine

#

i forgot the details

golden scaffold
paper pine
#

aye and they're still not convinced, may as well compare him to the next in line for the seat, if he can't do it again Liam, then its probably bye bye Yuki

golden scaffold
#

he's beat his teammate every time lol they need to trial him in rb and let lawson compare against a vet (ric)

paper pine
#

I just don't think RB want to otherwise they would have already

#

they've been grooming Ric for the seat again bringing him back into the RB family, I think their heart is set on the absolute PR masterclass it would be to bring him back lmao

golden scaffold
#

ric needs to pull a rosberg and beat yuki in equal machinery for that to happen otherwise they're stupid

#

he left rb initially because he didn't want to be second to max and he's worse now

Sainz Sr has a huge respect in rally racing and is basically lauded as one of Spain's national treasures

#

He has a lot of respect on his name that surprisingly doesn't really overbear on Sainz Jr. from what I can tell

#

It's not like Mick Schumacher

#

probably because Sainz Jr. is a good driver

we are here to start a dialogue

gasly is just trying to not get rammed up the arse by ocon

he could do that if he drove faster

The car is fine, but aero is mid, hence good straight line but high tire degradation and low grip in corners

Who knows, Newey might go back to Williams

bleak tiger

from how u r describing it

spiral hinge
#

By car, I meant drive train mostly, but yes, in F1’s context I suppose aero is half the effort, so you’re right

dim tide

most of the effort really

glad hound

Predominantly aero regs currently

It’s all just rumours until it’s official

Don't understimate Ferrari's strat team

#

Gotta be better than everyone else, including his teammate who's only fighting for 2nd place. That's the only explanation that I can find about McLaren not giving instructions about not trying that hard to Piastri

#

like, it's one thing if Lando is lacking pace

#

or if they both have a big lead peak Mercedes style

#

But Piastri going for the kill right from the start was weird

tardy socket
#

Prost wasn’t the fastest on track

#

Just need most points at the end

tulip wedge
#

Prost was also a very cautious driver when his biggest rival loved to live on the edge pepela

tardy socket
#

Also Lando isn’t that generational driver, he’s not perfect like Schumi or Vettel. So if McLarens wants WDC, and let’s be honest, that’s the only title that fans care about, they have to help him

tulip wedge
#

IIRC Senna would legit rather crash than not driving as hard as he could

tardy socket
#

So do they want a WDC or not?

tardy socket
#

Schumacher pushed Barichello into a concrete wall

Gotta mark his territory as an alpha male

tardy socket

Lando has shitty starts, his race raft also isn’t at the very top. But he’s an elite qualifier and has great race pace. Maybe he’ll never be great at fighting on track so he needs to play it dirty. Min max his hand of cards

McLaren does not seem to care much about WDC still

#

maybe they think it is a lost cause now since there are only 8 races left, but also

McLaren is faster than RBR

Inb4 Kimi gets the boot when Max decides to take the second merc seat

#

Or even funnier, George

dim tide
#

I doubt Max is ever going to move to another team

#

Max did note that he has a bit of beef with engineers, but the fact that the team can conform to his demands does at least give him some interest to stick around

#

whereas Mercedes does not really do that unless you are Hamilton

spiral hinge
#

Mercedes will 200% bend over backwards for Max

actually yeah probably

knowing how Toto Wolff talks about Max

ask Max in Abu Dhabi

tardy socket
#

are you one of those hamilton shills

tulip wedge
#

I mean

#

luck was also on Ham side until Masi decided to get involved

#

that race was decided on a change of wind

#

Now Alonso defending like a madman to make Ocon win was pure unadulterated skill. Even if you could argue that Ocon was lucky to have a first-class teammate

tardy socket
#

Mate you win the title over an entire season

#

Lando get's shit on for all past mistakes too

#

You can't pin it down to a single race

#

Max winning WDC that year is fine with me, he's a deserving winner

#

Only Hamilton shills still talk about that season, I never really think about it anymore

#

Just compare it to football. If the ref fucks up and awards an undeserving pen, it's still fine if the team had 100 shots on goal.

tulip wedge
#

I think that I should make it clearer when I'm being a tad sarcastic pepela

I wasn't even into F1 when that race took place I've only watched the resumé on YouTube: from what I've understood, if they kept the red flag Ham would have gotten the WDC wins, Max was in the lead, but he wasn't cleared yet. He eventually had favorable circumstances.

I'm not actually trying to downplay skills, but there are many occasions in many sports where a win was secured by a component of luck

#

like Maradona and his hand of god

#

no var, a shitty referee and Argentina won

#

that doesn't change the fact that Maradona was one of the greatest player alive and they still made it to the finals

#

but fate was on his side

tardy socket
#

yeah, sports has a ton of luck involved

dim tide
#

George Russell could attribute some of his higher placements back in 2022 due to just thinking about the strategy and making a smart move

#

taking risks is part of the sport of racing, and making a bad judgement consistently could net you a worse championship result

#

Lando is in a position where I would say he just kinda fumbles the bag sometimes

#

and has delayed some pretty big notes of his own career because he made bad judgements like in Russia that one time

#

I mean we talk about drivers who take control of their own destiny, this is essentially what I am discussing here

#

One needs to understand that their team is helping, but they also need to understand when to make the call for themselves

#

Being able to do this can really separate a champion from some podium sitter or worse

Perez did not need that

Sainz drifted into him regardless

just such a dumb way to end it with two cars out

and the first weekend in a long time where Perez was looking decent

You’re telling me that Sainz has been paid to drive cars for almost a decade

#

Yet cannot figure out how to not crash in a straight line

No confirm

tardy socket
# spiral hinge Did anyone catch on, has Daniel been confirmed to be leaving vcarbs? There’s a b...

Yeah, there has been no official confirmation but Liam Lawson’s contract requires RB to offer him a seat or he becomes a free agent. Everyone important so far like Horner and Mekies have not ruled out that it’s his last race and it really does seemed like it’s Danny’s last race.

I think the great performance of Colapinto made the teams consider younger drivers instead of extending older drivers

having points finishes in your first two races is pretty promising (albeit he did have help from the spanish inquisition in Baku)

#

I think there was a drought of rookies for a bit

#

just briefly I mean

#

Albon, Norris, Russell in 2019 have all proven themselves

#

but 2020's rookie Latifi was never it, neither Schumacher and Mazepin set the world on fire in 2021

#

Tsunoda was also a rookie in 21 and he has turned out pretty well but it took him a while to perform and he's still not likely WDC material

#

de Vries didn't pan out, and Zhou has been ok for a backmarker team but nobody is surprised or heartbroken that he's without a seat

#

oh and Sargeant

#

but ofc last year also brought us Piastri, and Bearman and Colapinto have also been impressive, so maybe we'll get more teams taking risks on young talent
