terrible time to be a Sauber fan
also 4 teams already above 200 points, and nobody else has even hit 100 points
If Ferrari wasn't struggling lately, Redbull would have felt some pressure from Ferrari because of checo
yep
Bro, Audi is inheriting a dumpster
It's not even that they just suck, I know have the materials and facilities to be one of the top teams since they're considered one of the more advanced teams on the F1 grid
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
can't possibly do worse than they are now so I'm sure that any influence by Audi will be positive
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
I really dig the Tommy Hilfiger Mercedes merch
It doesn’t scream sports like the other brands
Not as much
both are operating in a similar fashion
if it's anything to go by, audi current merch is pretty classy
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
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
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
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
Sounds like Audi. Among the three premium brands of Mercedes, BMW and Audi, Audi was considered to be the car company on lease lol
The lines have blurred though
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 
We’ll see. Porsche does a ton in that regard
Porsche Design stuff
Man, Porsche in F1 would’ve been great
Audi makes good looking cars with no soul
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
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
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
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 
Good. Buy German and help me pay for pensions
this looks good
Who ?
they're fucking playing favorites over there
Joshua started ahead and was clearly the faster driver
God damn strategy
Are we gonna be arguing about the results of a fictional team? 
they performed so well because they were the first to realize that it was important to be fast in the corners
If they keep letting the drivers battle it out, they’ll crash
Wdym fictional bro? They both raced each other
Strategy call should've prioritized Joshua else they wouldn't even need to battle in the first place
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
Bro what’s even the point of Sonny. Better to put a young talent as a no 2 driver and to push Joshua
EXACTLY
They should've signed Oliver Bearman, bro
or Theo Pourchaire
Sonny does not take his position at APX seriously
I wonder what upgrades APX will bring for Hungary
I heard rear wing updates
Hmm
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
This is some turn left to go right lightning McQueen shit, I hope they know what they're doing
better idea, they should sign Sainz
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???
Nah Sainz is still gambling on RBR seat with washed Checo getting axed
It’ll be a young driver. Maybe Yuki?
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
You don’t think that Yuki can survive without Honda money?
they know what they're doing, they watched a youtube video
Man i love spreading misinformation
Also, once again, check @yelistener out
not Perez being outscored by Hulk 😭
Legleg and Alonso washed
Hulk has been doing great btw
Drags that shitbox to Q3 many times
You asked for it... 🐉

Quoting Ian Twigger (@IanTwigger)
@McLarenF1 @GameOfThrones @emiliaclarke Shame she didn't say "Dracarys" at the end, followed by the car firing into life.
hamilton might have a chance confirmed????!!!??!?!
least delusional Hamilton Fan (me included)
lando probably barely has a chance at making up 84 points in like 12 races, hamilton wouldn't be able to make up the 145 point difference
unless merc recreates the w11 there is no chance
Yes but what if lando and verstappen crash 12 races in a row, and hamilton gets first place in all of them (definetely not delusional)
lando and verstappen are on a restraining order, wont happen
awww

They barely talk about F1 lol
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
Yes, with Audi
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
Shoulda coulda wanna
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?
They're buying kick sauber out
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 
isnt sauber like a very long historied racing team
rip
Maybe? It was formed in 1991, sold to BMW in 2005, sold back to Peter Sauber in 2009, then Peter Sauber sold it to an investment company in 2016.
I mostly remember Sauber as the team that suffers under ferrari customer engines 
F1 isn't where Sauber got his laurels though
In F1 they've always been average from what I could read
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

one less terrorist on the grid
He’ll join RBR
He’d drop the hard r again
Or with max
or Max yeah
Yuki has only called someone a slur for autistic people, no N word 
and idk I don't keep up with Liam

they're having a mid off

LFG PIASTRI
"Verstappen is going wide"
McLaren lol

seems like the grid caught up to RBR ?
if the grid is McLaren, yes
merc and Ferrari are looking competent in that race
drama lmao

need Oscar and Lando in a competent team ffs
guilt tripping your no1 driver over radio for your mistake is wild lmao
if you don't consider current mclaren a competent team, I don't know what to tell you
I'll rephrase, they need a competent strategy team and a team that won't emotionally blackmail a driver over radio to fix the mistake the strategy team made
Seems like no one was happy with the race engineers today, huh
when you make a 1-2 look bad, thats when you know something went a lil wrong
Tsunoda needs a good points haul next race so he can get back to Top 10
he's only 2 points behind Lance who's got 24
and he's tied with Hulk
literally just get a P8 finish 
that picture of Yuki is haunting
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
BREAKING: Former Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto returns to F1 with Audi 🚨

Alfa? But that’s an Alpine
nahh its very clearly an Alfa Romeo
Close enough, welcome back Alfa Romeo
Are they bringing back F1-Jesus
no he's now in the pinnacle of motorsports (WEC)
how the fuck
we thought saudi gp was a trial of fire for bearman but esteban ocon is the true trial of fire 😭
"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 😭
they gotta be activating that performance clause after Spa surellyyyy
maybe this is what they meant by lawson getting the rb seat first
but holy shit checo is fumbling the bag hard
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
honestly i'd say we give yuki a shot
but apparently horner and marko didn't have yuki as their first pick for RB, was some other guy who brought yuki in
How far away is he from fulfilling the performance clause?
How much smaller must the gap be?
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
I still think that's riskier than Danny
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
that's true
the problem with danny is the same with perez, they aren't the most adaptable
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
probably fulfilled already, just waiting for the right time throw checo in the bin
If not, would be funny if Horner orders the pit crew to ruin a pit stop so that the gap is big enough to Verstappen

would be funny if the clause is like
"if we are losing the WCC because you can't pull your weight, you're out"
i mean, every pit crew sometimes forgets to have the tyres out
and then sometimes gives the wrong types
and then sometimes breaks shit
So sleepy that he changed the motor earlier than he was supposed to
im worried for alonso
honda f1 engines gonna give him gp2 flashbacks 😭
sleepy max
Honda got its shit together after using torro rosso as a test bed team
They're prolly best engines rn
I know lol
however, gp2 engine
If the team gives Honda the time and clear demands, as well as cooperating with them plenty, they'll be fine
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
also the mclaren engine requirements were mad as well
i think it they wanted like a tiny asf engine
i forgot the details
they've been assessing yuki against his teammate for the last 3 seasons
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
he's beat his teammate every time lol they need to trial him in rb and let lawson compare against a vet (ric)
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
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

punished verstappen
He was NOT even there 🙏😭😭
Rip legleg
your honour my client was there you just didn't see him because he was too fast
Sainz to Williams
sainz to WRC would be fun
Sainz sr to F1 would be fun
What a race
I really don't like Russell
how the fuck did perez end up p8 after starting p2
I really hope teamLH has a meltdown after this
Partially slow, partially not best strat
Looks like tyres held up better on 2nd and 3rd stint. So short first stint was the way to go
Russell just gives major "36! But last year I had 37!" vibes
I already moved on smh, Russel isn't Checo
there's no shame to lose to him
russel is an international terrorist
Russell cooked, can't even be mad at this win 
isnt he one of the wrc goats
he is
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
yeah but Gasly is too
yeah but gasly consumes less baguettes
okay but Gasly is worse at racing
gasly is just trying to not get rammed up the arse by ocon
oof
he could do that if he drove faster
can't get rammed up the ass if they can't get your ass
ocon just trades his career for a chance at ramming gasly up the ass
lol every team with a fuck up, eh?
red bull: internal fucking melt down
mclaren: doesnt know what the fuck to do at the top step
mercedes: forgot how to be at the top step
ferrari: trying to drive leclerc to kill himself
aston: do they even have engineers
vcarb: give us money
haas: freedom RAAHHHHHHHHHH
williams: excel spreadsheets
sauber: what the fuck is a pitstop?
alpine: french
This reads like Merc realised they were gonna be underweight, decided to roll the dice by not removing all the fuel, and were caught out
Since they had nothing to lose at that point
excel spreadsheets gonna ruin this man 😭😭
Bro picked Williams over Audi works team
Fuck me

hes banking on the fact that newey might go to williams again
Audi won't be good team unless management has their head in the game
Doesn't help that kick sauber currently has very little to build on
Bro that’s racist against Germans
They're not gonna be good racists unless management is good, that's the point
Trust Binotto
Now we get to see who's the better driver at Williams
Carlos Sainz is a multi-race winner, pride of Spain, and a lead strategist at Ferrari
and Alexander Albon is just a goober
is he banking on it? orrrrrrr is a Newey deal how they convinced Sainz to sign?
sbinalla

u do have a point there mr mark
all the talk about how Newey won't move/commute to Italy to work for Ferrari
however counter point: valterri sainz its james
well Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire aren't too far from each other
if sbinnoto was still at ferrari they'd have no problem
they never should've let him out of a back office

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
this sounds like a bad car
from how u r describing it
By car, I meant drive train mostly, but yes, in F1’s context I suppose aero is half the effort, so you’re right
most of the effort really
Predominantly aero regs currently
Oh I thought it was half-confirmed that he'll join Aston
It’s all just rumours until it’s official
I doubt even Newey knows where he’s going
Are you saying that Ferrari still has a chance?
Knowing Vasseur, maybe
His next challenge: make a car so good, that even Ferrari won't be able to self sabotage a race
Don't understimate Ferrari's strat team
I think lewis is gonna really start rethinking his move when he gets to ferrari and he's waiting for 30 second pitstop to finish
Their weakness has been strategy though, their pits and pace have been fine
thats just called a mid car 
newey has no chance against the ferrari pitcrew
and mattia sbinnoto
hes in audi but he can still sbinalla
wait wheres the raceweek emoji

ignis scammed
raweceek
Yeah who tf deleted the sticker
the people who came in and deleted all the stickers and emotes
and replaced them with
4chan and bbc
What? How
Don’t you need admin rights?
Lol fuck
I’ll make a new rawe ceek one
Paindocable is missing too
Btw I need Norris not to fuck up his start tomorrow
Hammy washed
Max losing at home ?
impossible
don't worry, Max will ram his car up the arse of norris and cause a crash where he comes out on top
that or checo dumps his battery on the first turn and rams it up the arse of norris
Albon DQ'd for a new floor upgrade that went outside of the allowed volume
tough weekend for Williams
so P15 for him
nice start for lando 
jfc a whole 11s lead by lap 45
Norris chill
Landon just won't chill
The dutch are happy as long as something orange wins
Trump
Norris dominance may bore fans
Fuck it, I need Lando to win 5 in a row and Max to finish P4-5
Make WDC a close race
let max do sim racing again
holy shit a 42 point lead down to 30 points
12 points in a single race
damn lando cut off 8 points in max's lead
at this pace he could genuinely snatch the championship
they should throw in Yuki Tsunoda to fix the problem, I am just saying
max verstappen racing vs mclaren
honestly they should let lando go slower and brawl with max, so they both take each other out and oscar piastri gets the championship
Piastri can't even be consistent enough get away from two drivers that have a handicap just by being at Ferrari
Ferrari had good race pace, Max couldn’t increase the gap to Charles
Charles had a monster race
Drove like he was back in Monaco but without DNF
whoops
Seb got a penalty for speeding 7 seconds after he jumped in an F1 car
and at one of the easiest tracks to perform at, too 
My brother in christ this track made Bernd Maylander crash the safety car for the first time in all his years of driving it since 2000
Monza is wild cause it is the only track that can make goats fall and mid rise
we will never forget the legacy of De Vries Monza
get ready for 'george its toto'

Colapinto dont know what he is doing, but at least he can save the car
McLaren 1-2
rbr is on the slower end in the straights last time I checked so they are COOKED in monza
they were like 7kmh off mclaren
drove like a moving chicane
Dang, McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, and only THEN Redbull? What is this?
2022 merc moment except much faster
rbr is definitely losing the constructors, wdc might still be on the table if max can drive the tractor to a 4th championship
If I had a nickel for every time an RBR prodigy gained only 4 consecutive WDCs, I would have two nickels
what a move from piastri
He needed to keep his line and force a crash lol
That was hard driving that cost them 1-2, forced Lando on an early stop for an undercut which set both mclarens for a 2 stop
yikes RB's lead down to 8 points
norris 62 pts off verstappen's ass
rbr is now a midfield team what 😭
Don’t worry, Horner will develop a new car and drive it to a WDC if Max that bum can’t do it
horner will stick his dick in the wind tunnel to figure out how to make a fast car
thumb
same displacement, doesn't matter
I don't blame Piastri, McLaren needs to learn that team orders exist
horner ain't gon do shit
he had 1 month to fix the car from before
and he didn't
they only believe in team orders when norris is conceding to piastri
Imagine having a once in a decade chance at WDC and not going for it
Because let’s be honest here, no one gives af about WCC
And they can win both lol
Zack Brown with the proper loser mentality
When was Ferrari's last championship win


McLaren is being "avant-garde". All the drivers are N°1
If Norris want a WDC, he's got to earn it
"sink or swim bitch"
How
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
Mate it’s F1. That’s the most naive statement about this sport
Prost wasn’t the fastest on track
Just need most points at the end
Prost was also a very cautious driver when his biggest rival loved to live on the edge 
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
IIRC Senna would legit rather crash than not driving as hard as he could
So do they want a WDC or not?
Yep. And Lando should do the same to if he has balls. Oscar didn’t give af about team performance when he made that move in T4, Lando needs to keep his line and push Oscar off track if he wants to be no1 driver
Schumacher pushed Barichello into a concrete wall
First time Brazil tasted 0:7 lololol
Gotta mark his territory as an alpha male
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
Schumacher used to piss all over his car during the race. Take a very long dump right before race start to block the toilet for Rosberg
Whatever it takes
Hamilton is scared of blocked toilets
Tifosi only have eyes for Carlo L'impiegato
“We let them race to the end”
Zak Brown explains what “Papaya Rules” mean at McLaren 🟠
#F1 #Formula1 #ItalianGP
@tardy socket
sauber yet to have a point in the middle of the season is crazy
valteri don't deserve this dawg
So Papaya Rules means “fuck it, just race and get us points” which further reaffirms that constructors really don’t care about WDC, only WCC
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
Verstappen has to break his fucking back to get within the Top 5 now, the gap between Norris and Verstappen would close in like 5 races if things continue the way they are
Inb4 Kimi gets the boot when Max decides to take the second merc seat
Or even funnier, George
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
Mercedes will 200% bend over backwards for Max
actually yeah probably
knowing how Toto Wolff talks about Max
if bro joined the team they would probably toss aside anyone else just to keep Max happy
i mean, any team would bend over backwards for max
he's still one of the best drivers on the grid (i hope) and can be a demon with a competitive car 
Probably George if Kimi does well
George can join Audi, people will hatewatch him lol
I hatewatch him anyway
It's weird how he's not really offensive as a person, but somehow not super likable still
like the guy doesn't have the worst character of the field...
he's just
the whitest in his attitude
like "cliché white energy"
I hate alex albon
I've always hated alex albon
No idea why. He's got severe bitch boy syndrome
trash opinion
I am a sergio perez fan
Ooooooooofff
He comes from a humble background. Does that maybe change things for you?
he's just british
I mean ocon also came from a humble background and he's not the most likeable guy either

well in terms of how he races
he is the posh kind of British
because of it, many assume he is the stuck-up, tory type of guy
when really he is just
stuck-up
aint nun wrong wid dat
He dresses well though and his new hair cuts looks great
yeah
Not everyone can look like a model without doing anything like Charles
or Carlos
Fuck Lancelot Strulovitch tits
?
Lance Stroll is funny because he tries to act like Kimi now even though Piastri stole that role
Lance Stroll isn't funny
"stroll was racing like its his first go kart race" - mr pastry
In order to be a resurrection of iceman, you need to be a good driver before you can be the silent type
and Stroll has not done that
all we need is piastri to have beef with the media
peak entertainment
Oh my god they already have a surname merchant
The Bearman family has gone through all the steps
Wow, what a surprise
damn i thought newey was gonna go to indycar
the greatest
“I am stupid”

uh what is this measuring

lmao sent out with a cooler
can’t wait for Leclerc to not win from pole
perez on 4th 
perez win pls
i think this quali might be the last chance for mclaren to claw at the wcc
lando skill issue
wasn't there a yellow flag
(Tweet was made before Quali btw)
oh lol that's funny
are you one of those hamilton shills
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
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.
I think that I should make it clearer when I'm being a tad sarcastic 
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
yeah, sports has a ton of luck involved
utilizing luck and taking risks is something that also helps win the long term championship
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
I’m inclined to say 50/50
Perez had the visibility and could have gone left
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
hm I don’t encounter many Sainz haters
I’m a Sainz hater now
As far as I am concerned, Sainz is now the second worst driver on the grid
Drive the car straight. Too difficult for him
George on podium wazzup
Great job osama bin laden
the 2 laughing at them going sideways 
Lando won driver of the day ?
piastri did
but yes great recovery by lando helped by perez and sainz crashing into each other
Honestly, if Lando can consistently land on the podium, that would already greatly help with WDC race. RBR looks like behind McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes rn
It's funny how they changed their tune in what? two weeks?
I think they simply didn't think they could win wdc
So many mistakes with Mclaren. Hope they get better because Max' car isn't lol
people in the comment section are so angry though
why
mclaren won't valtteri its james oscar
I think they mean like giving lando priority for pitstops n shit
Stewards reviewed all data and said they're both idiots
Perez more at fault imo but not enough for a pen
He was the one who had the better view and was behind + choosing to hug Sainz yeah
Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve disagreed with the FIA
5 different multiple winners
5 different multiple time race winners in a season
7 different race winners in a season
2012 round 2
Breaking: After a successfull Red Bull complaint with the FIA, McLaren has to modify its low downforce rear wing. Bending of the flap edges on the straights will not be allowed, even if the wing passes the static deflection tests.

Lol what a shitshow
Max needs to drop fucks in double-time on the radio
*heckin
surprising it is not Yuki Tsunoda who was summoned
current angriest F1 driver:
We're not kamikaze pilots. How many times a minute do they use the F-word? It's not that many times with us. But that's them and we're us.
ppl upset at Lewis for calling this out
bruh
i feel like a lot of people literally just dont like LH because he's black

Track invader in practice three
Monitor lizard?
Nah, new team

Max Verstappen Speaks Out on FIA Punishment After Singapore GP Qualifying | F1 2024
#f1 #formula1
Third from 12th in a merc is pretty oof
Really bad strat
Did anyone catch on, has Daniel been confirmed to be leaving vcarbs? There’s a bunch of chatter about it on YouTube and Reddit but nothing official. Weird as heck
Daniel is hella washed but cutting him mid season is also unwarranted. I don’t think he’s been as bad as Debris was
No confirm
But he got a farewell party, very strange and uncertain situation
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

not only colapinto but also bearman tbh
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
COMMUNICADO OFFICIEL
There's only one Australian on the grid now
he's just less popular with women
Where is Lawson from
He's a kiwi
A disgrace to not even try replacing Checo with him
✨ can't be even worse than Checo ✨
Horner is just tired of winning
Checo brings in Mexican pesos
Along with crashing with the colonizer
Something tells me that RBR is not short of money in any currency
Also, Perez is leading the destructors championship and he made RBR lose lots of WCC prize money
Clearly not since they have went against their sponsor's wishes
Who knows if visa will continue sponsoring rbr after that controversial decision
maybe not for RBR but RB the drinks company probably profits a good bit off checo
plus his dad is a mexican politician 
mexican politician
Where was PER in 2017
trying to survive against ocon
yeah except perez has brought in like 6 million in sponsorship money
he has more than returned the $ in cars he has crashed
the car was fucked
And his car was fucked again this weekend
I’m starting to not like Checo’s battle style
Toto has it printed out
I think he could do better. Especially in the “distance from other cars” category
In a successful overtake, this number goes up and not negative
u try doing it then
However, Checo is doing research on if it can flip back around to the positive if it goes negative enough
if u think ur so much better than Checo 1v1 him



putting old heads in the list with the post-Schumacher drivers is how I know they dont know wheel
I still hold the opinion that, if Ayrton Senna was resurrected, he would still be stomped by fucking Lance Stroll in a race
that just adds further to the stupidity
but the mixing of old names with the new ones is the first thing you see at the top of the list and is clearly an indication that I will read something stupid
how the fuck is perez above rosberg
I mean depends if you put senna in the cars of his era, stroll would lose because he would spin out and die in the first corner
in the current era cars, stroll would lose because he couldn't start due to a broken wrist due to a cycling accident
latifi needs to be in the top 10
How the fuck is Perez on there at all and Max isn’t?
comparing across eras is dumb
if you sent Lance Stroll back he'd die
What are you talking about he drove with broken wrists
free my bro
i still hold the opinion that, if lance stroll was transported to the 1960s, he would be stomped by the entire field
Safe bet
Suck more than Audi
Safe bet
wdym, Toyota is only second in WEC, WRC and Dakar rn after dominating for a few years. They are entering F1 right when they are falling off /s
Heading to United States Grand Prix next weekend

COTA seems to be the only track that has hosted F1, WEC, IMSA, Indy and NASCAR
Indianapolis is the 2nd, but has not hosted WEC
That’s awesome
nice
I am thinking of making a sign, but I have no clue what to write
My current idea is to do something related to how Kimi Raikkonen is still the last Ferrari champion, but that was only funny on the picture
Let’s go Logan!
"Lando don't fuck up this title battle"
or "Leclerc please be consistent enough to take the title when max and lando crash for the next 6 races"
🚨 Helmut Marko: "Tsunoda is a candidate to drive alongside Max in 2025. The remaining races of this season will decide what our driving pairings will look like for next year."

he's just getting tired of saying racist things about mexicans
wants a new ethnicity to pick on
where rawe ceek emoji
@glad hound could you restore our rawe ceek sticker and/or emojis pls
Ok I will look
change your user name
looks like inverted mclaren livery

wait mclaren also changed their livery
Red Bull Admit To Cheating And Using A F1 Bib "Trick"
Red bull has admitted to cheating and has now made a new plan with the FIA for an adjustment to the front bib tray on its formula 1 car. This trick is cheating in a sense that they would break parc ferme to adjust its floor height according to the session that's ongoing. Should they have bee...
Bwoah… Tsunoda is so wide
I am currently at the Circuit of the Americas
Enjoy the quali. Looks like a lot of cars have a surprising amount of pace, so we might see something interesting
Lawson somehow P3 in Q1
and Hamilton out
looks like this race will be Verstappen's
Both Williams out in Q1 too 💔
stillwerise
RBs eliminated in Q2 💔
From my POV the main guys to watch are Leclerc, Sainz and Verstappen
they look the most planted in person
The McLarens look inconsistent in pacing
Norris secures pole by 0.031 seconds after a yellow flag finalizes session
Russell crashed on T19 bringing out safety car
Verstappen starts P2 with Sainz P3
Did you get a good look when that happened? Looks like his rear snapped in an unexpected spot
Did not see since I was several turns ahead of that incident
T19 has been particularly tricky for everyone today with rear snapping
Alonso truly behaving like an immature rookie lol
bro is in his 40s and beefing with other rookies

What? What does Alonso have against Lawson?
Lawson was doing some real good
shit in the sprint, Alonso salty that the rookie wasn't a pushover
https://fixupx.com/emioderso/status/1847909013758853615
For anyone interested here is the entire onboard of the Alonso Lawson fight, since there was a bit more to it than just the 5 seconds FIM showed us
Just so you have the full picture to then make up your mind
Lmfao
wasnt it:
RAWE
CEEK```
before
We had both

bad weekend for Albon, too
currently in last rn
SC ending
Sainz gaining on Verstappen
Never mind, SAI has a mechanical issue 
ffs @spiral hinge 
Yeah fuel in cockpit ain’t to be scoffed at
race control might even throw the meatball flag
driver in the cockpit complaining about fuel
mediums will probably pit next lap
no bueno
we lookin at 2 stoppers
Unless it starts leaking fuel onto the track or visibly looks broken, I doubt it
good point
By the way, are you attending Interlagos this year Gabe?
Leclerc is fast
Yeah can we talk about the cavernous gap that’s growing to Max?
Max can’t be conserving these medjiums
His pace is similar to Carlos’
unfortunately not, got lucky with wfh in 21
Perez caught in an RB sandwich
Tsunoda ahead with Lawson behind
this is bad rep for Perez
hopefully will be back to wfh in February 
strong pace from legreg
Is RBR looking to stack further excuses to cut Sergio after Mexico? I hope so
Part of their master plan, maybe
we will see
Verstappen might be faster in second stint
there is apparently an issue that Verstappen can have fixed by the pit crew
Yeah maybe
Russell like "WHAT !!"
didn’t crash but beached the car
truly awful weekend for them
ferrari pace is insane today
Tbh it’s the drivers choking imo. The merc has pace but they can’t get the set up right so they’re vulnerable in low grip areas
Hamilton said yesterday that it's very oversteery so I think that's probably fucking them over
t19 is still very bumpy
yuki has been on a roll this weekend
pretty impressive defense in the sprint yesterday
hards pitting soon
1 stopper?
1 stop is probably “ambitious”, as Piastri called it
sainz boxing hmm
But I can see it
lap 22 tho
1-2 possibility??
#1194705997818765372 message
I'm gonna hope that sainz does leclerc like he did yesterday
I need him to get one final masterclass before going to hell, also called Williams Racing
I think he might deliver. Hopium is on full blast right now
his overtake on norris yesterday was great, hoping he can replicate that today
He might. It doesn’t look like the McLarens have as much pace in race trim
He's good at putting pressure on norris, I think norris will fold if sainz gets within attacking distance
the fans would be bored by leclerc domination so ferrari went to shit
tv director is on fire today
I wouldn't mind piastri taking the win by surprise though

Sainz is fucking hilarious
or this is mind games to make the other teams confused about ferrari strategy
before ferrari was confused about ferrari strategy now other teams will be confused about ferrari strategy
what the fuck is the TV director doing
"fuck it sainz, you do the strategy, worked wonders in Singapore"
idk i was enjoying the elbows out for 13th place 
"oh look a great battle for 2nd place from the perspective of leclerc"
"no fuck you, enjoy this minivan on the road beside the track"
alonso 💔
aston not treating my goat good
NOOOOO TSUNODA
Tsunoda tilted
THE TENSION
Max is so wide wtf

that was diabolical
Fucking hell, I actually called the podium. I guessed wrong Ferraris but overall still Ferrari 1-2 and Max 3rd
Good race, good race, question?
great race
Lots of action all around across the field, great race
sainz would've gapped leclerc if he tried
didn't he have a minor mechanical failure?
Yeah likely fuel pressure issue
yeah it didn't look like sainz was pushing like yesterday
I'm pinning it on that
TWITTER GON BE MAAAAAAADDDDDD
already started
tire trophies lmao
I fr thought they gave out 5he pole trophies then
Very nice
and Mexicans everywhere
if you were not looking at a Ferrari fan, it was highly likely you would see a Checo Perez RBR fan
@tardy socket if Ferrari hadn't cocked up races earlier this year they could have been P1 for WCC and WDC 
If my mom had balls, she would be my dad
Ok max

I will accept Sergio Perez holding maracas and wearing a sombrero, but F1 should NEVER put a Spaniard on a poster for the Mexican Grand Prix ‼️
