sports

[signal badger]

no, but you can see he oversteered

[latent hazel]

yeah yeah that was my point

[signal badger]

if he really wanted to help norris, he would have let him pass much earlier, so he could also pass sainz

[latent hazel]

like on the live broadcast they showed lando getting past kimi without context

lol

[devout estuary]

If the running in abu dhabi late in the race is

Max
Oscar
other driver
Lando

does oscar help out lando win the championship

[latent hazel]

no

[devout estuary]

or oscar p3

[signal badger]

if lando is p4, max wins

[devout estuary]

oscar would be mathematically out in that running

[devout estuary]

ik

[signal badger]

max right now is ahead oscar

[devout estuary]

but lets say final 15 laps with max leading russell 2nd oscar 3rd and lando 4th, max would be winning the championship but what if oscar gets asked to give the position or in general oscar wants to help lando

[latent hazel]

Oscar would need to get past max

[devout estuary]

does he do it

[latent hazel]

oohh thats a hard question

he wont

[signal badger]

"let michael pass for the championship"

[latent hazel]

Mclaren will just let them race

Otherwise Webber will pull Oscar out of McL

[devout estuary]

if it was me and i would be practically out the championship and my teammate had my position and he won id do it

[devout estuary]

webber a bum bro

[signal badger]

i think oscar would do it

prolly won't even need to be told

but only when max leads and lando is 4th

[latent hazel]

ahh anything can happen

[signal badger]

or

if oscar doesn't do that

maaaaaaaaybe

there'll be some pitstop shenanigans

a wheel might get stuck "accidentally"

[latent hazel]

well, whatever happens next week

who wins deserves it

-# and if max wins i dont want to be hated on lol

[signal badger]

this is a safe place, i promise

while i might be mad with max winning, i never attack the fans

there may be some "f max!" replies afterwards, but that's prolly the extent of it

[devout estuary]

yeah

[devout estuary]

attacking fans is stupid

[signal badger]

yup

[devout estuary]

just cause you dont like a persons fav driver doesnt mean you hate on them

[signal badger]

👆

[latent hazel]

true that

[devout estuary]

marko please retire bro

[latent hazel]

my god did he drink gin tonic

[devout estuary]

yeah max fans are commenting on kimis account and stuff

[latent hazel]

RBR please replace marko with seb

[latent hazel]

bruh

“What does it feel like to work for McLaren?”

HE CANT EVEN WRITE LMAOO

max fan laughing at other max fans

because its stupid

[signal badger]

it is indeed

[latent hazel]

Max before 2020 always complained about external factors

things he couldnt change

but he matured and now he just focuses on what he can do

what is in reach

fans should be like him

[signal badger]

imagine a glock type of moment in the last race, they're gonna lose their minds

kinda like lewis fans in 2021

while i cussed up and down that day, i at least did it in my head, not typed anything online towards anyone

[sand rock]

The type of performance we need from Tsunoda while he's being lapped:

(Humour)

[devout estuary]

if this happens fia could easily disqualify red bull entirely

even if this happens with the vcarbs

[signal badger]

don't forget, rb has 4 cars, not just two

[minor smelt]

PANTHERS BEAT THE RAMS

31-28

[sand rock]

Only if they can figure it was on purpose lol

[signal badger]

question: are they called papaya rules cause only mclaren is enforcing them and papaya is orange?

[latent hazel]

kinda

Like mclaren themselves called it that last year

iirc

[signal badger]

oh, so they invented them

also

next year won't have drs

that's gonna be interesting

[signal badger]

poor antonelli

i know it's already been discussed, but i just feel it needs to be said

he was so disappointed with himself after the race and now this

i'm also sorry for what i said right after the race was over

max truly was impecable today in terms of driving, no mistakes whatsoever

i'm sometimes jealous of max fans, they get to root for someone who's truly got it

[devout estuary]

max fans are so toxic

@latent hazel BTW I JUST FOUND OUT HOW THE OLD CAR NUMBER SYSTEM WORKED

like i was so confused why lewis was changing numbers every year

[signal badger]

huh? lewis has always been 44

it's his lucky number

[devout estuary]

1 went to the wdc while 2 went to his teammate, then the rest would be rewarded by wcc standings, if the wdc switched teams, the new teams would get 1 and 2 while the old team would use the new teams old numbers

[devout estuary]

in 2013 or 2014 they added a rule that allowed drivers to pick any number of their choosing

[signal badger]

right; from what i know, number 1 is reserved for the champion, but all the rest are up for grabs, provided you were the first one to request it

but when lewis was champ, he was still 44

champs can choose to keep their lucky numbers and not number 1

but in that case, no one else can be number 1

[devout estuary]

1 is reversed for the wdc if they choose to use it

[signal badger]

yup

[devout estuary]

but back then when you couldnt pick your number it was a system on where your team finished in the standings that was the number you got

for example lets use last year

since max is the wdc he wouldve gotten 1 while his teammate (liam or yuki) wouldve gotten 2, then it follows with wcc standings so mclaren getting 3 and 4 ferrari getting 5 6 and so on

if the old system was kept lewis wouldve been 1 from 2014 to 2021 except 2017 which he wouldve been 0 since the 1 wouldve been for rosberg but he retired

[signal badger]

in case max doesn't win the championship this year, i wonder if he'll go back to his old number, 33

[devout estuary]

he should

but he can negotiate with ricciardo for the 3

[signal badger]

sure

[devout estuary]

unless he waits till 2027 where 3 would be available

[signal badger]

i think he'll hang around until his contract expires in 2028, at which point he may likely retire

[latent hazel]

Hah coool

it was randomly assigned except for wdc

or something like that

[latent hazel]

he said this weekend that if the 2026 regs are not fun

he will step aside

[signal badger]

that's gonna be interesting

[latent hazel]

he’ll most probably go to gt3

[signal badger]

hey, isn't yuki going there as well?

maybe they'll be teammates again, won't that be something

[latent hazel]

verstappen will go with his team

verstappen.com racing

yuki said that he was gonna stay

i think

[signal badger]

in f1? i wonder where, since there's more and more rumors that rb are dropping him

[latent hazel]

ehh some

[latent hazel]

yes

he and isack said that are staying iirc

also i believe marko and mekies are on a power struggle battle because of tsunoda

marko wants him out

mekies wants continuity

[signal badger]

from what i understand, rb are gonna go with a different engine than honda from next year and it was basically honda who shoved yuki down their throats

but rb wanna make way for arvid lindblad next year

and liam lawson to be max's new number 2

so they chose isack as the 4th seat from next year

[latent hazel]

rb are going with Ford RBPT

same as red bull

RBPT means Red Bull Powertrains

[signal badger]

right, sorry, when i said rb, i meant both red bull teams

i see rb as 2 teams and 4 drivers

[latent hazel]

oh ok

[latent hazel]

Laurent Mekies has confirmed, ORBR and VCARB lineups announced on Tuesday

[tacit thunder]

hi

[latent hazel]

@signal badger @devout estuary

F1 broadcasters displayed lando getting past kimi out of context

and didnt show the replay until after the race

the worse part is that EVERY max fan (including the one’s who didnt sent any hate towards kimi) are getting trashed on

[devout estuary]

earlier this year the fia and alpine released a statement due to the hate doohan and his family was getting

[signal badger]

they should have a number of accounts who sent threats, those accounts should be dealt with

clearly not every single max fan

just like with every fandom, there are some idiots

but the large majority are decent people

[devout estuary]

yes

but also i think they should penalize red bull

since they are the ones who contribute to it

like a fine or whatever

and max fans tryna claim mclaren and mercedes are working together, bro rb literally has 2 teams 😭

[signal badger]

debatable; that was a personal discussion between max's mechanic and max that was picked up by the tv stations

and it was that dude's opinion, from what i could tell

[devout estuary]

gp probably said it sarcastically but shouldnt have said it

f1 fans dont understand sarcasm

[signal badger]

rb guy said: "not sure what happened to antonelli, mate, it looks like he just pulled over and let lando through"

he clearly said "not sure what happened" and "it looks like" so he was stating his opinion

[devout estuary]

lando does alot of sarcastic comments and they still fall for it

[devout estuary]

yeag

but it shouldve been worded differently

but helmut marko insisted that kimi did it on purpose

[signal badger]

i mean these are in the moment situations, you can't really pre-think these things

[devout estuary]

and also went on to say he let oscar pass him too on purpose

[signal badger]

oh, if marko insisted, then yea

i didn't know that last part

wait, i think i saw it yesterday

on what was posted here

then yea, that guy has a lot to answer for

[devout estuary]

OK APPARENTLY THE RED BULL SEATS WILL BE MAX AND HADJAR WITH VCARB HAVING LAWSON AND LINDBLAD

LAWSON GETS ANOTHER SEASON, LANDOS BIGGEST FAN JOINS THE GRID AND HADJAR GETS A TOP TEAM CAR

https://tenor.com/view/victory-win-tyler-the-creator-i-think-epic-gif-21479461

[latent hazel]

gp’s opinion based on the broadcast

Blame here goes to the broadcasters

[signal badger]

from what i've heard, lawson is p much guaranteed

[latent hazel]

thats what gp saw

[signal badger]

yup

i saw the replays of what actually happened on the f1 YT channel

[latent hazel]

the replay was shown before the podium

At that point whole of red bull was in parc ferme celebrating max

this was a whole misunderstanding

[latent hazel]

ISACK HADJAR WILL PARTNER MAX VERSTAPPEN IN RED BULL RACING NEXT YEAR

ARVID LINDBLAD GETS PROMOTED TO RACING BULLS, WILL RACE ALONGSIDE LIAM LAWSON

Yuki Tsunoda will remain at Red Bull as reserve

@devout estuary

[devout estuary]

LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GOO

I OPENED IT ON INSTAGRAM

HADJAR IN RB, LAWSON GETS ANOTHER CHANCE, AND LINDBLAD GETS TO BE IN F1

[latent hazel]

and yuki isn’t out entirely

[devout estuary]

2026 GRID IS SET OFFICIALALLY

[latent hazel]

best outcome for all

[devout estuary]

officially

[latent hazel]

but imo lindblad should have been given another year in f2

[devout estuary]

i agree

but cool to see a rookie on the grid

[latent hazel]

yeah

[latent hazel]

in other news ferrari has cancelled the F44

which was a road car that was going to be made with lewis

And also yesterday the f1 page gave lando norris the title

[devout estuary]

i saw that

[latent hazel]

they know something we dont

[signal badger]

he will

[signal badger]

so aparently, arvid will have his debut in abu dhabi, instead of yuki, he will be max's no. 2 seat

really sad about yuki, it's tsunover

but on the other hand, i'm really excited to see arvid in action

just don't run your car into any mclaren pls

[latent hazel]

only in fp1

Yuki will drive the other sessions

[signal badger]

ohhhh, i see, i misunderstood it seems

[signal badger]

the no. 2 seat has always been cursed at rb ever since mark weber, huh?

hope isack will break the curse

[devout estuary]

no

since after daniel ricciardo

although during the mark webber times they have shown to have favoritism for one driver (vettel and verstappen)

[meager rain]

Is this like irl sports?

[signal badger]

sure is

[devout estuary]

yes

LEGO will release a World Cup trophy (out of lego) for 199$ next year

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/fifa-world-cup-official-trophy-43020

[devout estuary]

me after i win the world cup in fifa career mode and pretend to celebrate then drop it on accident

[signal badger]

here's a thought experiment for the final race in abu dhabi: if max is leading and oscar is third, let's say, lando is 4th, the lando side of the team would ask oscar to give his position to lando, right?

however, if max is leading and oscar is second, let's say lando is 5th or 6th, would the lando side of the team beg oscar to give it his all and pass max?

[meager rain]

Oh!!!

[devout estuary]

depending on how many laps and how far oscar is from 2nd place and max

[devout estuary]

if lando is 5th or 6th then hes cooked

unless oscar defends which i doubt

cause it also depends on how many laps and how far is oscar from max

[signal badger]

if oscar wins, lando is champ from 5th

i think also 6th

no, 5th

@latent hazel @signal badger kimi said lando and max sent him supportive messages after qatar

[signal badger]

very good

i know i give max a lot of flack, but he really is a cool guy when he's not all full of himself X3

[devout estuary]

they all are

im glad max and lando dmed kimi tho since they’ve dealt with similar things

[signal badger]

totally

getting bullied by fans is a horrible thing in any sport

not just in sports, but it's also a thing experienced by actors, musicians, etc

i've read some absolutely awful things the dude who played jar jar went thru with toxic fans and the guy simply performed a role

but yea, being there for people when they need help totally makes you a great person

[edgy shard]

Like the actor for Derek Turnbow who is being fat shamed

[signal badger]

right, toxic fans are a problem everywhere

fans who think they're entitled to shit

[latent hazel]

i was sure max would do it

even more when i heard that he forced red bull to release an apology statement

[devout estuary]

its not surprising lando and max did

[latent hazel]

Max (speaking about the WDC trophy): “I mean, trophy looks the same. You know, I have four of those at home, so, it’s nice to add a fifth”

[devout estuary]

I SAW SOMEONE SAY BEFORE THE INTERVIEW MAX WAS GONNA SAY SOME LIKE THIS

the interview was a landoscar interview

max barely talked

[latent hazel]

he also said that he didn’t plan any celebrations because he didnt think he was gonna fight for the championship at this stage

his dad is rallying in africa

and his mom is at home

[devout estuary]

i saw that too

[devout estuary]

lando oscar kimi and gasly sat together at the dinner cause they were all late @latent hazel

lando and oscar were late cause they had dinner with mclaren, gasly is always late to everything and then kimi idk

all the rookies sat together but he couldn’t cause late

[devout estuary]

@latent hazel @signal badger @dapper sorrel @vernal falcon @frail latch we HATE red bull

[signal badger]

i dunno if it's the same with all big F1 teams

it might just be standard practice

i almost had a heart attack when they were investigating norris for that

i was like WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

[dapper sorrel]

Ferrari put softs on a guy and thinks that shit would last correctly

Smh

[signal badger]

OP will end up behind norris when he pits

that's perfectly cool

means even if leclerc passes norris, lando is still champ

let's go

[devout estuary]

this might get very dramatic at the end IF max holds up the pack

[dapper sorrel]

Nearly 32% of the grid is on black and white flags

[signal badger]

OP will help norris, no worries

OP is perfectly cool where he is

[vernal falcon]

YAAAAY

[signal badger]

all according to plan

[dapper sorrel]

There’s a bunch of scenarios that Norris wins

[signal badger]

let's goooooooooo

[dapper sorrel]

Very few for Ocsar and Franz Hermann

[signal badger]

OP might even be there to slow max down

just to rub salt in the wound X3

kidding

[latent hazel]

totally left space btw, lando just chose to leave the track

[signal badger]

mate, yuki was driving unhinged

[dapper sorrel]

Yo this stream lowkey gas

[signal badger]

from left to right to left to right

you don't do that, it's dangerous

of course lando was afraid to get closer

[latent hazel]

He could have gone to the right

he almost did the same thing as canada

[signal badger]

he committed already on the left

[vernal falcon]

I LOVE THE KIDS VERSION ITS SO SILLY

HAVE U SEEN THEM DANCING

[dapper sorrel]

We know if Lando got a penalty all hype would’ve gone away

[dapper sorrel]

wtf

[signal badger]

lando getting a penalty would be unfair af

for that

[dapper sorrel]

I’ll watch it after the race my phones on life support rn

[vernal falcon]

ots so funny imo

[latent hazel]

what, he was 4 wheels off the track

leclerc did the same once and got 10 seconds

[signal badger]

yea but yuki was driving like mad

not the same thing

lando needed to avoid a collision

and the stewards reached the same conclusion

[latent hazel]

these are the same stewards who didnt penalize lewis in lap 1 abu dhabi 2021 for leaving the track lmao

[signal badger]

well

i'm sure peeps will talk about that for a bit

[dapper sorrel]

unless there's a DSQ again for plank

i swear, i'll break something

[latent hazel]

1456 days

possibly the best 1456 days in my life

and i saw it all, waking up just in time to catch the sc in abu dhabi 2021

max winning in japan his second championship a day after my grandma passed away

his third championship, nothing but absolute perfection, while i was enduring some though moments on my final school year, he gave me joy

and then his fourth, holding lando off like a lion

it was fun and max has always been an inspiration for me to never give up, thats why ive always supported him

congrats @devout estuary!!

and also sorry for the vent guys

[devout estuary]

max had an incredible season man

[devout estuary]

its fine i get it

you can always vent

we all know max will come back stronger than ever

[latent hazel]

i am proud of that, but it just feels like it slowly slipped

[latent hazel]

i just dont wanna trash the party

i mean

lando is finally wdc

he did it!

[devout estuary]

many ups and downs from all 3, so many races that couldve went differently and have a different outcome for the championship

like max with spain and austria
lando with netherlands vegas qatar
oscar with the entire 2nd half

[devout estuary]

LANDO WE CAN BE WORLD CHAMPIONS I SAID

[latent hazel]

@devout estuary Max words to Lando: “You should enjoy this, you don’t know how much this will occur in your life. The first one is always special so I hope he throws a huge party tonight!”

[crimson cairn]

i actually sobbed

[crimson cairn]

HELP HAHAH

[devout estuary]

dude lando and oscar families got me emotional

[crimson cairn]

you reminded me that the second lando got out of his car he hugged osc

[devout estuary]

doomed yaoi ah

[latent hazel]

actually max hugged him first i think

[crimson cairn]

HELP?😭😭

[crimson cairn]

OH i didnt noticed cuz i kept crying…

[devout estuary]

LANDO NORRIS IS THE FIRST F2 GRADUATE TO BECOME A WORLD CHAMPION

cause gp2 was changed to f2 in like 2017 soooo

[latent hazel]

I was crying as well lmao

anyways

[devout estuary]

im so proud of oscar what a season from him man

i seem like an oscar hater but i genuinely love the guy

proud of max too what an insane comeback

[crimson cairn]

i found out that ppl are sending death threats to yuki cuz lando overtook him.

[devout estuary]

f1 fans are not real

[latent hazel]

omg

[crimson cairn]

last time was kimi now is yuki

[devout estuary]

toxic fans shouldn’t be apart of this

not even the drivers want them to be apart of it

[crimson cairn]

RIGHT CUZ WHAT THE HECK..💔💔

[latent hazel]

poor gp

[crimson cairn]

kimi is a TEENAGER.

[devout estuary]

lets get his name right

[crimson cairn]

and this is literally yuki’s last race

now how do i mash up Bakugo and Norris like I did with Bakugo and Max @devout estuary any ideas? lmao

[devout estuary]

hmmmmm

i really dont know

[crimson cairn]

you did not have to remind me💔

[devout estuary]

how did you do the bakugo and max skin

[devout estuary]

☹️

i apologize

[crimson cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/hiodoshi-ao-ao-dogeza-sorry-so-sorry-gif-17368834110986876577

[devout estuary]

lando said he enjoyed competing against a world champion in max and against oscar

and right after he mentioned oscar he said who will be a world champion

[signal badger]

many are apparently saying lando didn't deserve to be champ

bull

mclaren dominated

both lando and oscar, as well as max, made mistakes thruout the year, it happens

without the vegas DSQ, lando would be champ super clear

[devout estuary]

all 3 deserve to be champion

[signal badger]

and that wasn't his fault at all

[devout estuary]

if you win it you deserve it simple

[signal badger]

100%

[devout estuary]

netherlands and vegas

[signal badger]

yea

[latent hazel]

no i meant for discord server name

lmaooo

[devout estuary]

ohhhhh

ok now that i do not know

cause katsuki or bakugo dont fit norris or lando without looking really weird

and dynamight fits max so well

https://tenor.com/view/sorry-sad-crying-deku-gif-24077275

[latent hazel]

yup

lol

thanks anyway

there

[devout estuary]

beautiful

now will lando do 1 or 4

1 would be fire but 4 is too iconic

[signal badger]

yea, if it was me, i'd keep 4

like lewis with 44

lucky number

[latent hazel]

actually

he used 1 in 2009 and in abu dhabi 2018 free practice

[signal badger]

sweet, but he'll always be 44, legend

[latent hazel]

i forgot why did he choose 44

[devout estuary]

me too

[latent hazel]

was it his karting number?

[devout estuary]

but 1 would be sooo funny

[devout estuary]

yes

[signal badger]

no idea, don't think i ever knew

[latent hazel]

yooo i got it right

[devout estuary]

his first go kart was 44 and it was the number he used most of his karting time

i think

this is allegedly

https://tenor.com/view/tom-holland-dancing-parkerifys-gif-6644115438243634943

[latent hazel]

max confirmed to ESPN LATAM that he most likely wont use 33 next year

MV69 incoming?

[devout estuary]

3

[devout estuary]

LMAOOOO

[latent hazel]

speaking of 69

max doesnt have 71 race wins

he has 69 + 2

[latent hazel]

@devout estuary helmut marko might be out

[devout estuary]

WOOOOOOOO

[signal badger]

YUSS

[latent hazel]

so it begins

[signal badger]

ooooooh

is it the big betrayal?

did they get rid of yuki too early?

[devout estuary]

yuki still reserve/test driver

if max leaves i think rb will run lawson hadjar

but at the same time i wouldnt be surprised if they rush lindblad

lawson will probably leave eventually tho its gonna be the next gasly

Leclerc Lawson lineup at Aston genuinely goes so hard

[signal badger]

i'm excited for the return of checo next year X3

[devout estuary]

me too

same with bottas

and lindblad debut

[signal badger]

yup yup

[devout estuary]

hadjar at rb

new regs

excited to see what kimi ollie bortoleto do in year 2

ALSO AUDI

[signal badger]

audi and cadillac

also, might be silly of me, but i'm still hopeful in a competitive ferrari

i was never a ferrari fan, but lewis is there...

[devout estuary]

well to be fair

any team has a chance

so

from whats been talked abt the top teams will most likely be mercedes aston and mclaren tho

[signal badger]

no rb?

wait, aston will be competitive?

stroll will be able to win races? that one i don't believe X3

[devout estuary]

well its based off the engines

mercedes and honda engines are expected to be really good

the rb/ford and ferrari ones arent really

so mercedes and aston are early favorites

then mclaren with how theyve been lately

[signal badger]

will honda remain? i heard honda was gonna be dropped

[latent hazel]

every mercedes powered team is gonna be at the top

[latent hazel]

with aston martin

[devout estuary]

red bull and honda parted ways but honda is coming back with aston martin

[signal badger]

i see

well good

toyota also wants to enter f1 as i hear

[devout estuary]

LANDO WANTED TO SEE OSCAR WIN TODAY

[devout estuary]

they are already somewhat it in

they were helping haas with simulator stuff but now they will be the title sponsor for haas

TGR Haas

[signal badger]

yup yup

[latent hazel]

tgr haas

[latent hazel]

uhm

according to Motorsport

GP's (Max's engineer) role for next year has not yet been finalised, due to personal circumstances

@devout estuary

ill pretty much call it by now

max retires from formula 1 next year

or he moves to mercedes

[latent hazel]

called bs by Erik Van Haren

[dapper sorrel]

Yes

Red Bull keeps on expecting another drivers who can be like Max Verstappen but they always bring their drivers in too early

You can see it with them moving up Lindblad and Hadjar

Not to mention we always knew the 2nd Red Bull car was held together by glue

[latent hazel]

”Leave it to me”

gets passed immediately and gets a 5 second penalty for erratic driving

[latent hazel]

nah mate

its funny

but he was asked to set the fastest lap to steal a point from lando last year and couldnt do that

LMAOO

[signal badger]

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/1a/d7/5d/1ad75d441ee1078ccd30da5c64ddc6b6.jpg

sorry, just saw this and i can't stop laughing

posted just for fun, not attacking max or anything

[latent hazel]

yeah we knowww even we max fans laugh at that

as Rick’s F1 Addiction once said

take sid the sloth from ice age

pur him in an f1 car

and you get max fucking verstappen

[signal badger]

nice X3

i didn't know until today

[latent hazel]

lol even max in a stream during the austria gp

he saw a banner in the grandstands with that picture and jokingly said

that’s not nice, that’s not nicee

[signal badger]

oh that's cool X3

welp, now that F1 has concluded for the year, time to get ready for the winter olympics in a couple of months (always enjoyed the winter olympics more than the summer ones) as well as the world cup next year X3

by the way, congrats if your country qualified X3

[latent hazel]

didnt lmao

ended second to dead last

[signal badger]

oh man

sorry to hear

we're not doing any better

i mean we still has a small chance to qualify in march, but there's not really much of a chance, we have to defeat powerful teams

[latent hazel]

we qualified for russia

then in qatar we lost in playoffs against australia

[signal badger]

man, you're lucky, we (romania) didn't qualify for a world cup ever since 1998, that was the last one

we got p close to it in some years, but... you know...

also, in russia 2018, i was really rooting for you guys, haven't really seen you in a world cup and i was excited; for what's worth, you beat australia

2-0, i remember seeing it live, p nice

[latent hazel]

ah thanks

before russia we didnt qualify in 36 years for a world cup

then we qualified and it looked promising lmao

we may have overhyped ourselves

[signal badger]

don't worry about it, you still got there, i'm sure you'll totally do it again in the future

you also went almost all the way in copa america in 2021, all the way to the semifinals

that's something

[latent hazel]

and we got in the final in 2019

its actually funny

because in both times in group stage brazil obliterated us

but when we met in the decisive stages

we made it a little harder for them

but then they had to rob

[signal badger]

they won by non-legal means? you mean in the final in 2019?

[latent hazel]

pretty controversial penalty

[signal badger]

ah

[latent hazel]

they also robbed argentina in the semi final that year

[signal badger]

damn

yea, i've seen plenty such situations

so i believe it

but then they got to germany in 2018 X3

and we know how that turned out X3

wait, no, that was 2014

[latent hazel]

yes

tbh that team was only messi

so they lost in 2014, 2015, 2016

[latent hazel]

@devout estuary @signal badger @dapper sorrel Lando will race with number 1 next season

[signal badger]

nice

i wonder if we'll have a number 4

maybe arvid

[latent hazel]

that number is still lando’s

[signal badger]

wait, but he chose 1

[latent hazel]

yeah but 1 is only reserved for world champion

if he doesnt win next year

he goes back to 4 in 2027

[signal badger]

i see

so all this time, while max was champ, no one else was allowed to be 33?

[latent hazel]

yes

[signal badger]

understood

then maybe arvid will choose 2

i don't think anyone has 2

[latent hazel]

nope

Imagine if max ends up with 3 and hadjar is 6

so 3 times 2 is 6

and how many cars are there

2

[signal badger]

but you said max's non-champ number is 33

[latent hazel]

yeah but hes thinking of changing it

he chose 33 because ricciardo had the number 3 (max’s favorite number)

[signal badger]

i wonder who will choose 67 X3

checo, he's gonna be 67

[latent hazel]

nah checo still has 11

[signal badger]

bottas then

[latent hazel]

Bottas still has 77

[signal badger]

f1 pilots love their repeated digits X3

[latent hazel]

Like they can change it

but in checo’s case for example

its part of his brand

[signal badger]

right

like 7 was for CR

or still is

[latent hazel]

its no longer kimi’s

you can keep your number until 2 years after no longer racing in f1

so for example i drive in cadillac next year

i get number 67

cadillac kicks me out at the end of the year for being slow

i still have the number until 2029

[signal badger]

interesting

[devout estuary]

lindblad is gonna be 41

41 looks like AL and also lindblad a big lando fan

[signal badger]

fair enough

[devout estuary]

well

LN1🥹

[dapper sorrel]

@devout estuary @latent hazel Helmut Marko has confirmed he will be leaving at the end of 2025

It is speculated that he will be retiring

[devout estuary]

lando sent him to retirement

oooh

there’s a new honey badger in town

except its sid the sloth this time

[devout estuary]

this championship battle was sid the sloth and those 2 stupid ass things from ice age

[latent hazel]

oh shit

forgot about the clause

max had a clause in his contract that if marko left he is FREE to leave Red Bull IMMEDIATELY

🚨 🚨 🚨 AAAAA

[devout estuary]

max is apparently officially number 3

[serene leaf]

Where can I watch f1 for free if I may ask

Im too poor to pay for it

[latent hazel]

apple tv next year

pretty cheap

well oliver bearman is now getting hate from cultLH

[devout estuary]

the bearman files

[latent hazel]

he may have said a double meaning joke, but in the end he was referring to the lh fortnite skin

and then he ragebaited hamilton fans when he said latifi is better than him LMAO

[sand rock]

Ummmm. Am I seeing double?

I know most people into F1 don’t watch the World Endurance Championship. But next year there’s a new car that looks… pretty familiar

[latent hazel]

those two against the ferrari wec

cinema

although technically Red Bull Racing is in wec through the valkyrie

desgined by Adrian Newey

[sand rock]

For real

Although for me, too much orange in the genesis

[sand rock]

Nothing to do. That’s designed by Newey as an individual

[latent hazel]

when Aston Martin sponsored Red Bull

before getting bought by papa stroll

[sand rock]

There’s the RB17 though. That one IS built by red bull

[devout estuary]

ik

[latent hazel]

at least the OG Valkyrie

the Valkyrie LMH (the one that competes in WEC) is an adaptation by Aston Martin

[sand rock]

Oh actually yeah

Didn’t knew that

But yeah the LMH doesn’t have anything to do with red bull

[latent hazel]

but the design comes from red bull

[sand rock]

Has little to do with Aston Martin F1 even. That’s why Drugovich wasn’t considered for a seat there

Because the team that manages it is The Heart of Racing, which acts as Aston Martin official but it’s not quite

It’s a bit weird

[sand rock]

You do know your stuff though. Props

[latent hazel]

something like AF Corsa

or Emil Frey Racing

which operates the 296 GT3 used by Verstappen.com Racing

[sand rock]

Yeah exactly

The only one that operates themselves I think it’s Peugeot and Alpine

[latent hazel]

and Ferrari

[sand rock]

AF corse is technically not Ferrari

But that’s like, Racing Bulls not being Red Bull

[latent hazel]

theres Ferrari

and then theres AF Corsa

so theres 3 Ferrari LMH cars

its like Red Bull gave the RB21 to hadjar for abu dhabi

[sand rock]

Yeah but that’s Ferrari AF Corsa

There’s 2 Ferrari AF Corsa and 1 AF Corsa

Which is the 83

So like, 2 are collaborations between marque and private team and the other is completely privately owned

[latent hazel]

yeah

i see

TBT to this ferrari post in september LMAO

[sand rock]

Pretty funny

Last Ferrari winners for both GT3 and F1 at one point where beating both Ferraris on the podium at Baku lol

And at Qatar

[latent hazel]

Lol

[devout estuary]

@latent hazel i dont think ollie did anything wrong, although the lewis comment can be seen in different ways especially cause of the reactions it had i dont think he meant it in that way

plus he was like what 15 16?

[sand rock]

Idk what Ollie did

[devout estuary]

said crazy stuff on a discord server

allegedly

[sand rock]

Well

I mean, you guys will probably want to kill me for this lmao. But Ollie has performed better this season than Lewis

[latent hazel]

those comments were in 2022

[sand rock]

Which doesn’t justify what he said probably

[devout estuary]

ah so 16 17 18

[latent hazel]

was he 16 i think

[sand rock]

He turned 19 in 2024

[latent hazel]

he was in a f2 discord server

He was 17

then

[latent hazel]

he only said a double meaning joke about buying hamilton’s skin in fortnite

at that time

and ppl are calling him racist

[devout estuary]

i love lewis but lets be fair most of the grid performed better than him

[latent hazel]

even his teammate in the same tractor

Charles was chasing norris for the podium in abu dhabi lmao

[devout estuary]

charles dragged lewis like lewis was in the 2nd rb seat

[latent hazel]

lewis was coming back from 18th

finished P8 thats impressive

[devout estuary]

lewis had good races like austria, silverstone, vegas, abu dhabi, spa

but man he was nowhere this season either due to performing bad, ferrari, or both

[latent hazel]

roscoe’s passing made it worse

[devout estuary]

he couldve gotten a podium in austria and silverstone but ferrari ruined it in austria and hulkenberg just had an incredible silverstone race

[devout estuary]

yeah

it sucks that its most likely lewis is out the sport after next year

only way lewis stays if he goes to a team like audi or cadillac

im glad i was able to witness a lewis win tho since i started watching and its probably the best

https://tenor.com/view/lewis-hamilton-silverstone-f1-formula-1-formula-one-gif-15656774294166183221

[latent hazel]

hulkenberg had a high iq moment in silverstone

[devout estuary]

hulkenberg stroll and hamilton played that to perfection

stroll and hamilton got screwed over by their teams thi

[sand rock]

Is it ridiculous to say bottom 5 drivers this season?

Maybe that's too harsh

[sand rock]

I think Aston just didn't have pace

[devout estuary]

thats not ridiculous thats not ridiculous to say that

[devout estuary]

yeah

[sand rock]

Exactly the audio I was thinking of lmao

[devout estuary]

stroll couldve easily gotten a podium that race if aston had pace

[sand rock]

Honestly... I think Stroll is one of the luckiest drivers out there

[devout estuary]

STROLL WOULDVE GOTTEN POLE IN LAS VEGAS IF ASTON DIDNT PUT HIM ON INTERS WHEN IT WAS STILL WET TIRES

[latent hazel]

daddy’s cash

[devout estuary]

AND I STAND ON THIS

[sand rock]

He should've had multiple wins by now, and that Silverstone strategy... I don't think Fernando lets that podium slide

[devout estuary]

stroll couldve easily won Turkey 2020 if the strategy wasnt bad

[sand rock]

He should've won at least Italy and Sakhir 2020. A regular performing driver doesn't make the mistakes he made there

[devout estuary]

iconic lewis win btw

sakhir too

[sand rock]

I could excuse him for Turkey. Lewis was gonna get him anyways

[devout estuary]

but that shouldve been a george russell win lets be real

[latent hazel]

thats for all the kids out there

[devout estuary]

“why am i hearing lewis on the radio”

[latent hazel]

perez was better in sakhir

[devout estuary]

true

[latent hazel]

mercedes did it on purpose lmao, just to not prove that it was the car

[sand rock]

But Monza 2020 for Stroll is the one that really doesn't make sense to me. His team puts him at the riskiest strategy by not pitting at all. Gets a red flag, work PERFECT for him, he's the only driver on the grid with new soft tyres and BOTTLES THE START

When he literally had to maintain position with Gasly to win the race

[devout estuary]

its crazy to say this but atleast for me stroll has the talent for f1 he somewhat showed it this year with the first races of the season, silverstone and vegas quali

he just hasnt had the car since 2020

you could argue 2023 but

[latent hazel]

he broke his wrist

[devout estuary]

that too

he’s still dealing with that today

[latent hazel]

and wasnt near fernando’s performance

[devout estuary]

and the online hate doesnt help either

his sister said lance was an extrovert before f1

[sand rock]

He was performing the best at the start of 2023

When he just had his wrist surgery

[devout estuary]

im honestly rooting for stroll

ive grown to like him

[sand rock]

Im not. The British press would never let Fernando go if he lost to Stroll on points

Even if he was 50 years old

[devout estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/aston-martin-racing-point-formula1-f1-turkish-gp-gif-19674009

[latent hazel]

P6 in bahrain while his teammate was in the podium

[devout estuary]

who cares about the media

[sand rock]

Good drive imo

[devout estuary]

and lets be real alonso would be proud of lance if he did that

[devout estuary]

incredible drive from alonso too

[latent hazel]

max is the only one who faces the british media

[sand rock]

That's what he makes you believe haha
