[candid pebble]

why would they, its their colours

it would just lead to people asking "who is that"

[high cedar]

Or wtf is that my eyes in the case of sauber

[candid pebble]

i mean considering their partnership they had no choice but yeah the colour is bad, at least there is no way to miss them

[high cedar]

Yea that's true

Just hope the current sponsor situation is not going to be too damaging for Audi take over

im sure they will figure it out

maybe they will start with rotating tracks? start of 2028 and every other year we get that boring street circuit or some other track?

[thorn topaz]

They are rotating yeah, but when Zandvoort left F1 I kind of assumed that plan was out the window

[sinful kiln]

good point

[thorn topaz]

The original idea was to roatate between Zandvoort and Spa

Which logistically would be the most sensible of course, but then Zandvoort noped out

And then its only 2 out of 6 years where Spa isnt happening, so that doesnt make a lot of sense either

[sinful kiln]

mm. i hope we get a proper race track during the years we dont have spa.

[vivid rock]

can somone translate the corprate mumbo jumbo

what is atlassian

[high cedar]

A tech company

[sinful kiln]

Atlassian is an American domiciled- Australian software company that specializes in collaboration tools designed primarily for software development and project management.

[vivid rock]

ahh

so its the front to something else 😛

[high cedar]

Basically a company you don't really need to know about

[vivid rock]

screams crypto bros ha

but it carries on the tradition of F1 sponsors being the front to an actual fucked up company

[high cedar]

It's not a crypto company it's a legitimate company doing things for companies that need it

[sinful kiln]

we use some of their software at work. jira and confluence. confluence is like a wiki software. jira is a bug tracking software and can use it to track development time for stuff.

[high cedar]

They make the Trello ticketing thing you have probably used if you have a customer service issue

[vivid rock]

hol up

your saying its an actual legit company and not the clean face of a saudi company

[sinful kiln]

yes

[high cedar]

Exactly if you need to know about it you will have heard of them otherwise it's just one of those behind the scenes companies

Also Jira is by atlassian

https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/610408/perplexity-f1-oracle-red-bull-racing-tiktok-stargate Oracle blocking sponsorship deals

[vivid rock]

dont Oracle own their own AI thing

so makes sense

[tranquil tapir]

Yh Oracle are rivals so make sense

[atomic egret]

Wait.. Blocked as in said no or blocked as in outbidded?

[vivid rock]

blocked as in said no

they have their own ai thing

appears the move from crypto is now AI so expect more AI sponsors

[atomic egret]

Yeah, that head line tries to make it sound nefarious, but it was just the sponsor saying to RB "if you accept them for $5m, you lose our $300m"

[high cedar]

Which is perfectly sensible business

[atomic egret]

Exactly

Of course, I find it disgusting that they have these sums of money to throw around to get some paint on a car, but in a world where that is normal business, there is nothing wrong with this.

[high cedar]

Yea it's stupid and with everything cost capped what's the point

[atomic egret]

It goes to the back to Papa Redbull Corp

Incoming Kick livery at silverstone

[tranquil tapir]

https://www.skysports.com/share/13307830

[vivid rock]

they also released their merch

fuck 80 quid for a tshirt

[wraith stratus]

that MCL livery

[high cedar]

Will be a test livery

[thorn topaz]

Yeah its a test camo livery. Quite normal for the initial tests where they dont need sponsor logos etc

[vivid rock]

yea they are "obliged" to show the livery at this event on tuesday

even the testing suit is decent

[tranquil tapir]

I actually like the camo one if they could do a race with it once be cool

[formal nest]

Heads up, F1 Manager 2024 will be free on Epic in about 2 hours, it's in their weekly giveaway.

Imagine trying to hype up a livery, that's gonna be the exact same

[sinful kiln]

it will be different this year

[trim girder]

imagine if it was urban/skate style, lean into the extreme sports aspect of RB.

all the sponser decals designed by a 17 year old after a few joints

[vivid rock]

If it's not the same blurple they've used since ever ill buy official teamwear

[high cedar]

The no fucking swearing rules are starting to be enforced https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/fourmaux-fined-for-swearing-on-wrc-tv-broadcast/10696386/

[finite sun]

https://tenor.com/view/jose-mourinho-sweet-trouble-gif-26762341

[high cedar]

supprised its taken to the 2nd round and only one driver

[atomic egret]

I'm surprised the drivers are putting up with it

Max should have taken it to CAS last year

[vivid rock]

https://youtu.be/NdKu3RjUfFk

[west jewel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uU7Ywt3uoI

[finite sun]

wow the same engine from last year still works

crazy

[honest cipher]

anyone else think this reveal event thing is gonna be shit

[high cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/nod-kermit-nod-nodding-gif-24624072

going to be very cringe and aimed at the fans who only watch drive to survive ... or the fan girls

[honest cipher]

yup

[high cedar]

at least jack whitehall is the host so it should not be too american

or this

[finite sun]

I haven't decided if I'm watching it or not

[high cedar]

think i will start but if its cringe and is full of filler i will wait to the pictures are posted on socials

[finite sun]

Ye

[sinful kiln]

when is the event? 19UTC ?

[hard turtle]

when aren't they

[hard turtle]

2000 UTC

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw1r6DwYy-g

it'll be 90% talking useless shit, 5% talking about useful shit, 5% the actual cars probably

[sinful kiln]

yeah

[high cedar]

It's on for 2 hours

[sinful kiln]

2h so they have like 12min per car then

[high cedar]

With all the other shit and musical acts and questions to spark drama yea

[sinful kiln]

oh i forgot about that stuff

will we see some of the new cars with the new livery or just old cars with the livery?

[high cedar]

I would imagine teams will only show old cars or show cars I don't think they would want competitors getting a close look before pre season also logistics

[wraith stratus]

2 hours to show the new liveries (one which has already been leaked) and cars that wont look like they will on the first race weekend

[high cedar]

they also claim to reveal the drivers but we all know who the drivers are and most teams have already shown driver kit

[wraith stratus]

don't know if its true, but apparently I've heard from someone i know in UK events business, that only 10% of the tickets went to the general public for this F1 show tonight, the other 90% went to sponsors and "influencers/media"

[high cedar]

euhh of course

i also have heard stuff from insiders some of it seems last minute and is changing

[vivid rock]

I'm glad in working so I can get home and just see the liveries and no beyond cringe shit show

F1 shows make ubisoft shows look Oscar worthy

[sinful kiln]

but this one will be different! its new and improved show

[high cedar]

new and improved from what?

[sinful kiln]

Yes

[high cedar]

suppose it cant be worse than last years

How many races till the Danny ric to replace lawson rumours start up

[candid pebble]

no race needed, they probably are already happening

[sinful kiln]

if something going to happen it going to be Yuki will replace lawson. Lindblad (from F2) will replace Yuki in RBR .

or maybe Iwasa will replace Yuki

speaking of F2 . that lineup is set yesterday. https://i.redd.it/j5ve4whgmrje1.png

[dusky harbor]

[thorn topaz]

Such a shame to see that going to this level of cringe

Setup in the O2 is pretty wild, but yeah this entire thing is cringe

[sinful kiln]

[wraith stratus]

[tranquil tapir]

8/10

[thorn topaz]

Hadjar lmao

[sinful kiln]

[wraith stratus]

[sinful kiln]

[thorn topaz]

Whatever that song was, it was odd. And fuck me that Haas segment was wild

Livery on the Haas is nice, but man that trailer was weird

[sinful kiln]

i like this better than kick saubers livery

[wraith stratus]

looking smart

[thorn topaz]

Ocon already looking likes suffering

[wraith stratus]

anything without Kick on it is better tbh

[thorn topaz]

The haas livery is pretty nice tbf though

[sinful kiln]

yeah

[late seal]

The Kick Sauber livery was decent, better than last year tbh

[thorn topaz]

I wanna see Mcl

[late seal]

(I know I'm late, slow internet and taking a 💩)

[sinful kiln]

yes. remove stake too and it will be better and less on the cars

[thorn topaz]

The scene setup is pretty fucking good. I'll give them that

Shame the host is a moron

[sinful kiln]

Krischen starting to like the event

[thorn topaz]

Dont worry, I hate it

Its cringe and meh

[sinful kiln]

i hope they show 2021 abu dhabi

[high cedar]

At least ever team reveal is something unique

It could be a lot worse

[late seal]

Williams livery looked worse than last year but I don't know why

[thorn topaz]

Mohammed Ben Sulayem would personally handle people if they showed that

Oh here we go. Alpine up

[sinful kiln]

i liked willams livery this year. its in the top for me

[thorn topaz]

Hang on

Wat

[sinful kiln]

[high cedar]

You got played

[late seal]

Its not bad, just worse than last year

[thorn topaz]

Imagine doing all this for a mid car

[thin vector]

nando does not want to be there

[sinful kiln]

need to put the money somewhere

[thorn topaz]

Its a shit DJ as well

Like what is this

[high cedar]

Probably got better things to be doing

[thorn topaz]

[late seal]

Mid DJ, mid team, mid car

[sinful kiln]

will we see more pink on the car this year?

[wraith stratus]

i dont think any of them want to be there tbh

[sinful kiln]

who is the dj ?

[late seal]

I have no idea but the guy isn't that good

[wraith stratus]

Flavio

[late seal]

Must be a Italian, too many hand gestures

[high cedar]

I thought the sauber reveal was long

[thorn topaz]

I have no fucking idea what I'm even watching

[sinful kiln]

some guy flipping some switches

[thorn topaz]

They picked the wrong mushrooms

[wraith stratus]

i dont think Flavio does either

[late seal]

Peak performance

[high cedar]

Me neither

[thorn topaz]

I dont think anyone in the O2 are aware of what the fuck that is

[late seal]

Did this guy sample a fucking commentary segment?

[thorn topaz]

Yes he did

[sinful kiln]

stake f1 kick sauber was just straight to the point and showed the livery without any intro stuff.

[high cedar]

Every doing something simple ISH with lights Alpine....

[thorn topaz]

This is fucking weird

Just fucken roll out the car and end the suffering

Pls

[late seal]

All of this just for Alpine to make the car full of exposed CF again

[wraith stratus]

[tranquil tapir]

Dj deffo got i want to speak to your manager vibes

[wraith stratus]

[sinful kiln]

[late seal]
