Didn't even realise pastry to p12
Carlos really aggressive today
Ferrari looking spicy ๐คฉ
Bros making a statement after his crash with checo

Has no one pit yet or do they not need to pit in sprints?
They donโt need to
Fair
Checo is fighting the Vcarbs for a seat in 2027 ๐
Both the Haas cars up there, thats a cherry on the cake ๐ฅ

Charles no
๐ญ
Max wins
SAINZ P2
Massive W
Not yet but Lando will definitely not be winning the title with such stupid mistakes
Agreed
Thank you Carlos โฆ you made this Sprint interesting throughout the 19 laps
Cracks so easily under pressure
BYE
Mclaren gonna need an insane strategy in upcoming races
Rip keyboard
He is not ready to be a champion yet, people can talk all high and mighty for him, but it aint it
I BROKE 2 KEYBOARDS
AND WENT THROUGH 3
โAs good as Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton in their primeโ
I forgot regular quali is later aswell
Thats some hot BS, not even close enough to them
DC said it. Wasnโt even joking.
Kvyat better smh
who ๐ญ
Maybe some dayโฆ but not quite there yet โฆ Max on the other hand ๐
After 3 wins in I donโt even know how many seasons now - being compared to these 3 outstanding drivers is just ridiculous
Also people not realizing that Max is still there and wont give up the championship so easily ๐
Lando apparently ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Fight me but charles is better than lando
He is ๐
That was a banger
Honestly
Ferraris were great
Fianlly some exciting racing after a loooooooooooooooooooong break
Ferrari made that hella entertaining
Isn't Lando going to get a penalty as he went off the track defending Charles
I want ferrari on the podium this sunday ๐ฅณ
Doubt it cuz it was a lock up
That will further destroy him ๐
I thought George P3 for a second๐
He will start crying
Might have to rewatch but I swear the mclarens were pushing other cars off the track countless times
Omg Gunter
lol he is really pushing it ๐
โWhat happened there you won 2 places, usually you lose thereโ ๐๐๐๐๐๐
(Rough citation)
Sainz is enjoying all the racing he can do before heading to williams ๐ญ
Where did the Keyboard guy go, we need some pics
poor sainz he deserves betters
๐ฆ๐ท ๐ฃ๏ธ P12
Yeah heโs got to relish every lap he has as a front runner before he stares at everyoneโs rear wings
Who will win the us sprint
1
3
There is a decent chance Williams is OK in 2026
I hope so, also really wondering how Audi will do from 2026 onwards
Today was a great sprint, one of the better races this year
On a fantastic track too, much better than all the street junk we have this year (dont get me started on Vegas)
Why do we have 3 tracks in the USA and 2 are dogpoo
I only got to watch the last few laps unfortunately ๐ฃ
The Ferrari battle with Norris was imo the best part so at least you got that
But watching Piastri fight Tsunoda was also great
I also dont get it! While we have plenty of better circuits like, Germany... for me the only acceptable one is Austin, I'm not even going to comment abt miami...
I really need to watch the full sprint frfr
The Ferrari battle between themselves was great also
It will take a few years for Audi to get where we all want them to be. I just hope they stick to it and don't give up.
I really don't see them being competitive for several years after they join. It will take at least 2-3 for that and a lot of persistence
top 5 feels wrong not to say
as a mclaren fan your right
Way too many good drivers tbh
Hamilton Schumacher senna prost fangio vettel alonso raikkonen lauda ascari hill Stewart
Tho I genuinely feel once max retires he could be top 3 very easily
hes already got 3 championships, although conttroversial.
Im surprised you dont have Nigel Mansen but have kimi, laurda, hill, and ascari
"controversial" ๐
whats ur hot take for this quali
Piastri out in Q3 agian
39ยฐc
This is insane
And they talk about bahrein being too hot
I just saw now that the american man had 0 points in this championship ๐ญ๐ญ
I didnt thought he was this bad all this races ๐ญ
damn thats a hotttt take
Is this writting fire
Im a piastri fine
I forgot quali was today aswell
Hamilton out q1
0_0
Did not expect Hamilton and colapinto out so early
Also why is piastri so slow here?
Mercedes started too much later
Bottas outqualified Hamilton
Always the ones i like
Should sauber be considered the worst team ever?
yes
waking up at 5am to watch quali hi guys
where u live ๐ญ
its 6pm here
6:30*
23pm there
i live in singapore bro
Its so good to have the same hours as the uk
23pm? you mean 11pm lol
Are you a Millionaire?
Yea
nah
I aint good with hours in english
dw my friend
easy mistake
i used to think it was 23pm lol
until my friend forced me to learn time properly
Thank you
so 13 would be 1pm
Something like this
so every time you check the time after 13 aka 1pm just take away 12
1-12 is normal AM
after is takeaway 12
It was a really mistake from Ferrari to sign ham
Alonso could hold the 40s
But hamilton...
he is gonna do great i think
He have 2 gp
he is gonna try getting his 8th championship
thatโs this season
But 2 gp and like 5 races under p10
Yeah
heโs won 105 in his career
I know
7 time world champion
Gasly is really giving it all in this qualification
p2
Why charles was like 10 min in box
Oh wow Checo made Q3. Take out the champagne people
wooohooo
Haas q3 and alpine q3
lando god lap????!?!?!?!!?
OH MY DAAAAYSSSS
Fs Russell ๐โโ๏ธ
Agent Russell is real
Max had that in the bag.
Russel doing a latifi performance
to be fair his first lap was absolutely brilliant stuff
Ferrari could have gotten ahead. Perez stuck in 10th too
considering where the mclaren was the whole weekend
watch him choke his race start tomorrow ๐
And max was destroying it in his last lap
Russell pushing for what, p6 ๐
I thought max was going to cry
Heโs not Lando
Sometimes I really dislike George
Max knows his car is up to it. He ain't bothered
He'll nab Lando tomorrow. Unless George torpedoes him from 6th
I really wanted to watch Maxโs lap from the cockpit on the Pirelli replay
Max and Carlos getting Lando by end of lap 1. Then itโs smooth sailing
Lap 1 or 41, aint bothered, so long as he does ๐คฃ
It just ruins the fun of Qualifying. I mean not all the fun but some of it
Makes for a more fun lap 1 tomorrow ๐
And there goes Sky mentioning the Britโs ๐
We should have had Gunter doing the interviews now. โYou usually lose there , what happenedโ ๐
Gunther is the most fun
George is handing him the pole trophy ff5
"Oh no, norris yellow S1? Verstappen purple s1? My brother is in trouble! Time to pull a Sargeant!" - Osama bin Russell
For a secondโฆ. I thought the same thing
yeah lol
insane quali to wake up at 5am for
ok back to sleep bye
Alv todos jajaja
If they had not done that at the start, they could both have passed Norris
It was good timing though
Instead they did it to Russel
Charles was close actually. That move cost him
He nearly lost it too on that move
I think Max will win today if yesterday's tyre management was anything to go by
RB might have found something because Max's quali lap was actually quicker until Russell went in the dirt
yeah
Just wondering - why did Alonso get a penalty some time ago when he โbrake checkedโ Russell and now Norris didnโt against Charles ?
Just wondering if it has to do with โฆ where they are from ๐๐๐๐
No, turn goes to the left, Norris defends inside...
He stopped way too early. He didnโt move under breaking but he did exactly the same thing as Alonso did
If "moving under breaking" now also counts for the direction the corner is in, lets just stop at the qualification
Well one of them ended in a race ending crash while in the other scenario nothing changed
So calling them similar is a major stretch
Even Alonso's penalty was highly undeserved imo
Charles is a bit more skillful than George and he could avoid it ๐
But it also depends on the outcome and/or which stewards make the decision
Imo the penalty should also depend on the outcome instead of the action alone
Still - same circumstances - just check where he stopped in there. https://youtube.com/shorts/YnDX9K0i6yI?si=uJOWCEnRCG6yJGZu
CHARLES LECLERC vs LANDO NORRIS Last Lap Incident USA GP!! #formula1 #ytshorts #shortsfeed
2024 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX
F1 SPRINT 2024 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX
@mattp1tommy
F1 Sprint Highlights | 2024 United States Grand Prix
Qualifying Highlights | 2024 United States Grand Prix
Lando Norrisโ Pole Lap | 2024 United States Grand Prix | Pirel...
Who won the US Grand Prix I wasnโt there
hasnt started
Again, the outcome matters
No matter if its Verstappen or Sargeant
I agree the same thing happens i.e. brake checking
Or a British driver involved as the guy doing it or being โpunishedโ ๐ ๐
But in 1 case nothing happens and the other a driver is eliminated from the race
British bias was debunked when Lewis lost the 2021 championship
Im joking there. However - imagine same thing done by Max to Lando.
Would've probably thought the same thing. If nothing happens its really not a big deal
Its just racing
You wouldnโt. Most โfansโ would be up in arms
Maybe I'm not "most fans"
No no, โfansโ ๐
Honestly I just enjoy good racing and if Max wins its a nice bonus
I enjoy seeing other drivers succeed as well
I even would not mind a new world champion but for the love of god why is Norris the best Contender. Why cant it be Leclerc
I lost alot of respect for Norris after his horrible attitude in Russian GP which could have been his 1st win
Not very likely ๐
About 1/8 probability if we are to go from his previous record ๐
Hey he won two place at the start yesterday ๐
george russell pitlane start ๐คฃ
I have noticed a thread of immature behavior from Lando throughout his f1 career. Go back to drive to survive in 2019 - 2021. His comments during interviews are self centered and condescending.
mercedes is so cooked
Mercedes it is time fails
this the first time that williams will make more points than mercedes in a race
Yeah
Race in Austin will crazy
Donโt base yourself on dts
Guys I need some tips. Who may help me?
You need tips on anything f1 related ? Did you just start watching the races ?
DTS is sensation reality tv, which I guess appeals to some people, but not me
I tried watching the latest edition but I quit after having to sit through 40 minutes of Lawrence Stroll
No thanks I'll stick to racing
May I introduce to a website called www.google.com? It's a new thing but I reckon it's gonna become useful in a few years time ๐
But bump everyone up one because Russell is starting from the pits
I'd hope he's still driving rather than doing the other thing ๐๐
Im too lazy
We're ready to go racing again in Austin ahead of a triple header! First, let's check in LIVE with the grid.For more F1ยฎ videos, visit http://www.Formula1.co...
was literally about to put it lol
Takes less time than asking in here
That was gonna be my next point but I'm too nice ๐
In his defense, typing that is less screen tapping then looking it up
Absolutely not ๐
I was joking
Verstappen and norris collide
Charles and Carlos collide
Hulk wins
My predictions for today's race
Vamos
Oh. I genuinely apologise; sarcasm when it comes to questions vs an online search is sometimes hard to get around ๐
Nah no worries haha๐
My prediction, Max takes Norris in turn 1 as usual and Fs off into the distance
Tbf that would likely be my sarcastic response but I'm trying to be nice ๐
Who is winning?
12

VER
WHATTT
Lando ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
WHAT IS THISSS
yagaygaygaygyagyga
Man he needs to learn how to start
The Ferraris ๐ฅ
He did have a decent start but could defend max lol
Decent is not good enough to win a title
Thats why he is not a wc ๐
Bro I missed the start what on earth happened
Tf hamilton doing ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
EVERYTHING
Norris down 3 places, leclerc up 3 places piastri up to 5th and now Hamilton last
WHAT HAPPENED
hamilton lol
Lewis๐ฆ
Lesgo Ferrari
โHeโs as good as Hamilton, Schumacher and Senna in their primeโ
But is he as good as sargeant mazepin and maldonado
Stroll happened
Strollin
lewis..
What the sigma is happening
Leclerc has crazy pace rn
Real
The 10-19 fight is more entertaining
It's literally been 2 minutes how is it up to 5
6 now lol
"this a yoke, total yoke" - russel
What happened to Hamilton
I fell asleep waiting for it to start
And woke up on lap 17 ๐ญ
And how did lando bottle so badly?!
Max is cooked lando will over take him
Lando needs to be more aggressive. It cost him places at the start and it's costing him here
Max back to his old tricks ๐
Somethings never change ๐
But the Ferraris damn dominating 1 2 lets goooooooo ๐ฅ
Canโt complain about going off track when you also go off track; no intention to leave a cars width
I actually thought Max had matured and changed but shows that when it comes to the pressure and an actual fight he'll resort to pushing people off track again
Stewards actually giving him a penalty for it is ridiculous
Wht d f*ck Norris
VAMOS
So lucky
Could've given him the place back and overtake him immediately
They were both out of the track
Ferrari were quick
According to the rulebook the penalty is fully deserved but the rule just needs to go
He shouldn't have to
I agree with you
But him and McLaren know that the stewards like to give penalties for our of track overtaking
Thought the rule was you have to give a cars width space. Max didn't so how does Lando get a penalty? FIA just can't manage it properly
What did I miss ?
No I think the rule Norris supposedly broke was being ahead at the apex, which technically was true since Max was ahead
Max also gained an advantage by going out
Max made Lando go off track when he overtook so Lando got a penalty for going off track ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
Penalty for Lando caused max to beat him
Werenโt they both off track?
Yes but its about who was ahead at the apex...
Exactly. Max went off track defending in order to push Lando off
I was just making sure
You can't force someone else to leave the track and go off track yourself
Iโll watch in. A bit
They were both off track yeah
Then the person behind get a penalty
But Max was ahead so Norris gets a penalty. But the rule is just stupid
To me its nothing wrong, just normal racing
Mclaren knew there was a penalty coming anyway, they should have told norris to give postion back and he could have gotten past max by last lap, but they decided to risk it
In before next year they will make overtaking on track a penalty
The rule means if you're ahead you can push the other driver off and it's fine. Absolutely ridiculous rule
Yeah thats what I was saying, they could see it coming
But imo they shouldn't have to
Still think Norris is a champion material?
Never did
Iโm asking others, I know about you
Give Leclerc a good car like in start of 2022 and we'll have a good Contender for Max
And like today
Untouchable
Norris is not good enough
Ferrari winning by +7sec without any upgrades to the car is impressive ๐ฅ
Has a rocket ship for half a year and thinks hes on the same lvl of Hamilton or Max
And senna and Schumacher โฆ.
Nope never have. Driver wise yes he is, he lacks the ruthlessness though to get over the line
Even driver wise he doesnt have enough raw pace imo
Otherwise he would gap Piastri more
I mean, Piastri is quality as well so I don't think that's relevant because Piastri has the pace to be champion one day too imo
If he was up against a Perez or Albon then I'd agree
Also Albon is washed
Possibly but Iโd say heโd need a lot of luck. I do not think he has the ability to win on his own unless his car is ahead of the friend
Field
Has a decent driver against him for once and he just collapsed under pressure
And impressive drive from Lawson
Give these new guys a chance in F1 instead of Magnussen or Albon please
Alonso will be fuming ๐
Lando once again proving he just ain't good enough
P10 ๐ฃ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ท
Bro, Max pushed Lando off the track, both exceeded track limits, and Lando get a penalty and Max gets a podium
But, good job Franco ๐ฆ๐ท
He might be one. But this year ? No way. And as mentioned above a heโs not as ruthless as a champion can be
I agree with you. Thats why I said he needs a lot of luck
Have you seen Charles and Max fights ? They respect each other. And max is just showing Lando that heโs not there yet
Brazil 21 was a similar situation ngl
Halmiton and leclare have more respect for piastri than for Lando in there battles and you can tell that
Thank you very much for your support to Franco, greetings from Argentina!! ๐ซก ๐ฆ๐ท
Oh for sure. Even Oscar is successfully trying to make Lando think twice
That Monza dive ๐
That turn 1 was amazing
Ferrari only need 9 points to be ahead of rb in constructors
Sainz has even grown to respect piastri after Miami and you can tell
And if you get to the point where you have to think twice - you are done
Fully deserved with 2:1
Why does it feel so weird that charles is only 22 points behind norris. Could norris choke that hard that charles finishes second (I'm delusional)
Wouldnโt be a surprise ๐
With how electric ferrari was today I don't think it's out the picture
It is possible especially in Vegas, Qatar, and Mexico
I can only hope
I want it to happen even as a fan of Max
Not a fan of max or lando but I'd rather have max win the wdc
Iโm hoping piastri beats leclare still but it dosent look likely. Iโm delusional
Horner needs to realize you canโt keep deadweight in and hope for a constructor championship
Let hadjar replace perez
Genuinely after how good colapinto and Bearman did, I wanna see hadjar at rb
Theyโre going to have Yuki or Liam not hadjar. Maybe hadjar becomes the second rbs driver
I don't particularly think yuki or Liam has done enough for a main rb seat tbh
Neither has Checo ๐๐๐๐๐
True
I canโt wait for the comments how team didnโt help him enough again. After all he finished behind a guy that started from the pits โฆ..
Still reckon they should've gotten sainz
Just watched it - sorry but has anyone ever done an overtake at turn 12 from the outside ? It did seem like a bad call (again) from Lando after a period of frustration
Did max defend hard ? Sure, however that turn was his - Lando didnโt have the apex lead there either. And McLaren made a bad call too not to tell him to give the spot back - he would have taken him again properly in those next 4 laps
i dont even know what the dump mclaren were thinking
They probably banked on a 5 second lead there
in 4 laps is a bit unbelievably hard
He did get 4 ๐
Either way - bad judgment from Lando, bad call from McLaren, questionable penalty today (even though he did deserve it yesterday during the sprint).
And a hit on the ambition for the WDC.
At this rate - Charles might as well get p2 this year if he keeps driving like this
He might win the championship.. if Norris blocks takes away more of Max's points and leclerc finishes above both of them!!! But alas, that is hoping too much from Ferrari strategy team
On one hand, yeah it is Max's corner, but that doesn't mean he gets to run wide defending and get away with it scot free.
McLaren did think Lando was ahead at the apex and decided to gamble with the stewards instead of chancing another overtaking opportunity. Probably not the best move, but they decided on that - they do have to gamble if they want to win,, though perhaps not in this way.
Can't criticise the decision.. stewards have been consistent throughout the race there... But yeah.. looking at the rules.. it is what it is.. I actually agree with Anthony Davidson and Jenson button there even with lazenby trying his hardest to harp..
Have you seen an overtake on the outside there ?
But brilliant car placing from max.. he did the same to me on final round.. ruined my perfect score ..lolz๐
When every point counts - you canโt make questionable decisions. McLaren has already cost Lando 7 + 3 today + 3 more at Monza points. Just to name a few
Haven't watched a lot of COTA GPs. Never seen one.
It was optimistic at best. Probably better to try a switchback or jjust set up for later.
I felt that the penalty was really questionable as lando was ahead going into braking, but not ahead at the apex. However, the rules state that whoever is ahead at the apex is the one who should get the position (which is a stupid rule honestly, removes hard racing). But again, even max himself ran wide and went off track, which shows that he outbroke himself and lando is trying to take evasive action. George Russell got a penalty for that earlier in the race vs Bottas in a similar situation. However, McLaren should know better and give Max back the place, knowing Lando will definitely be able to overtake Max later. Both FIA and McLaren made questionable decisions today, no doubt about that.
Can we get a SC for Lando next time? ๐ฅน
goated
Colapinto getting more points:
How is there not a colapinto sticker
He deserves it
I really liked the way Liam drove on hards.. definitely a better replacement for Perez next season... But time will tell if it's a one hit wonder or real talent
Mazespin would be a better driver than checo
He's past his prime
By a long time
It's not fair that he has one of the seats
Also what was Hamilton doing today ๐ญ
That's such a rookie mistake and he's raced every season since before I was born ๐ญ
Will be interesting to see if Checo announces his retirement next weekend as rumoured.
I doubt it
Not the first time this season either
Finished behind someone with 5s penalty and started from pitlane doesn't look good either when his teammate were fighting for podium...
How many laps did he stuck behind yuki? Too much to count๐
That's because the team doesn't help him and hurts him and wants him to do bad
Yeah lots of people are saying that the FIA is rigged
I personally hate it
Being a lando fan
I mean to be fair he didnโt really do anything wrong, Max literally pushed him wide
๐ฆ
What even is this trophy
pole position? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Look how confused he is๐
ok then the new austin texas trophy ๐คฃ
They had a different one but had to replace them last minute due to โsimilaritiesโ with another thing. It looked like Mickey Mouse trophy actually
Only Leclerc got the real trophy afaik but 2nd and 3rd got recycled pole position trophies
it was just funny to see
How many upgrades did Ferrari bring to cota against?
Traduct this post if you dont understand
This shows how rigged the yesterday Race was
How the original trophy passed any sort of checks by the designers is beyond me
More like McLaren with their liverly
Alpine were crazy this race the upgrades must've been good
Pierre 7
Oof.
I think Colapento had fastest lap at the time, and he did this to keep them on the same points in the championship
Yep
About time he realizes that clinging onto Checo is NOT THE SMART move. Unless he really aims at more time in the wind tunnel next year
Leclerc is gonna win the next 4 races and get the fastest lap whilst max and lando dnf in all 4 giving leclerc the wdc ๐ซก. (I'm delusional).
Better have Charles than Lando ๐
Iโm sure Johnnyโs proud of Lance accomplishment
Lance Stroll really holding a record before gta 6 is crazy
๐ญ poor bottas
Valteri go to pension
not his fault tho
explain
Terrible car
Terrible team
Just biding their time till Audi takes over
Bottas is a mid driver. Decent qualifier but sub par racer.
I thought you were describing Checo there but you said "Decent qualifier" ๐
He was actually quite similar in level allround to Checo before Checo fell off ๐ Both often got podiums but were 30-45s behind their teammates.
Or maybe I exagerated a bit there. Maybe more safe to say 20+ seconds behind
Now yes, but Perez supported much better before he fell off.
"Checo is a legend" /Max Verstappen 2021.
โLando Norris - highest point scoring driver in McLaren historyโ -> another attempt to pump up his ego ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Perez didnt fall off that much, other teams improved and simply filled the gap that used to be between Verstappen and Perez
All 6 of them ๐๐๐๐๐
Unironically yes
Because Perez is the worst driver of in the top 8 maybe bar Piastri because hes still new
If Alonso has a better car thatโs 7
He definately did fell off
But its a combination of other teams getting closer and falling off
I wouldnโt say Oscar is bad. At all. Heโs showing a lot of maturity, confidence and actual race craft. Even if heโs his 2nd season.
Its a bit unfortunate that the top 4 teams have fantastic driver lineups and RB has the current best and a very midfield driver as their lineup
Also the RB is not made in Perez's favor
To be honestโฆ I donโt think any driver could tame the RB โฆ other than Max
Car is tailored to max. Previous teammates like Albon etc all struggled with the car
Sainz could possibly. Or Alonso
Or Hamilton. Someone with experience for sure can handle any car
People say: ยซย Look at Max now, his car is not as good as it was and heโs struggling, heโs not a good driver โฆ bla bla bla.
Put anyone in that car and itโll be performance like Perezโฆ or a bit better but nothing like what Max can achieve in this ยซย Taco of a carย ยป
Donโt want to be mean but Hamilton is struggling with his Mercedes for years โฆ so ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
He sucked in 2022 but I think thats mostly mentality
I think next year RB will be 3rd or 4th in championshipโฆ itโll be a fight between McLaren and Ferrari in 2025
Hoping for a new WC
Max era was boring even though I support him
Its healthy to see a new winner, but please dont let it be Norris
Anyone but him
And if we look for 2025, I think itโll get worse for Aston Martin, Newey will be focused on 2026 onward
Heโs gonna be happy to get more wind tunnel To finalize the 2026 AMR ๐คฃ๐
It might be swinging the way of Ferrari next yr but at the rate Lewis is bottling Charles might be ๐ค
Stroll can help well to that cause
Difficult to say, McLaren will probably still be very fast in 2025
RB will suck, 3rd or 4th team
So yeah this will happen
But they bottle a lot so I can't say they might have a shot at WDC
4th, with Newey gone Allison will push the Merc to WCC P3
Eh Mercedes is still quite far off and only shows small signs of pace on like 3 tracks
And with Antonelli in the car who knows how he will perform
Hopefully he doesnt push the car too hard and repeat a George 2020 Bahrain
Ferrari next year also will be fast.
Yes it will be between Ferrari and McLaren next year
I'm expecting Mercedes to overtake Redbull before summer break
And batl between RB and Mercedes
Knowing that Perez isn't doing much to help
Team didn't want help Perez's
Sure, Kimi might be a rookie but I'm sure he's at a point where he can find pass Perez easily on drivers
All the new rookies are beating him now
Kimi first season will be adapting and 2026 season will be very good with Russell.
Hes 6th in F2 currently
Its just Toto is in love with him for some reason
I dont get the hype around him
But again I'm happy to be proven wrong
Toto give big support for Kimi
And Bearman who is 15th, pulled a P7 in a Ferrari in one of the toughest circuits on the calendar. So you can't really use F2 as a yardstick anymore
Then F2 is pointless
Abolish it
Pretty much, Stroll skipped it, same with Max
Or the top Guys are even better
Noone knows because teams are only interested in their driver program
Pourchaire and Vesti were hella quick in 2023 but noone bats an eye
They'd rather pick #15 of this year๐
Could be but Isack Hadjar is only a Reserve Driver for Redbull next year. So unless he gets a chance against Antonelli we can't say
Pourchaire was supposed to be in Sauber, wasn't he reserve driver and 2023 champion?
He was not a reserve afaik
They took Zhou over him because money
Vesti was also really hopeful to get that seat, then Kimi cane out of nowhere. Now he has to look out for Williams or another opening for 2026
Hello
That kid is feistyโฆ
that lil bro aint do shi yet n talking abt alonso like that smh
he did score points in his first race as a full time driver...
Iโm loving it๐
Ken isnt afraid of our favorite rookie
And im all for it๐
Probably a non-story
I do find it funny theres nothing really besides praise(except for albon) twoards colipento but then Lawsons already kinda gotten a riveraly with alanso
Nah but he finished 9th in a RB when Aston is the 5th fastest car and Alonso was down in 13th. He definitely has a greater potential of achieving more than what Alonso has in his career. Also, this is not the first time Alonso was salty with rookies for performing better than him
nah man aston is at most 7th best team
Thats not what the constructors show
What do you mean there? That "he definitely has greater potential"? Alonso alone made F1 worth watching for many years and is (was) special.
Meaning rookie Lewis Hamilton showed potential by equalling Alonso in 2007 in his debut year. Here, Lawson got 4 places higher in a car which is 2 spots lower on the constructors
If he gets into a good team in the 400 races of Alonso he would definitely achieve more than 32 wins
Yeah when F1 just had changed to the tyres Hamilton had in GP2 and was used to + we can't disregard the conspiracy of British bias within the team ๐
In modern times there have been some special drivers that can be viewed as all time greats. Hamilton. Alonso. Verstappen. To say that Lawson has greater potential than any of these is.. jumping the gun. Or what they call.
If Lawson achieves more than Alonso thanks to getting a better team, I don't think that has anything to do with "potential".
I'd rank Kimi and Seb higher up on the Hall of Fame than Alonso. Piastri on the other hand has world championship potential. Whether or not Alonso is a big gun as people say can only be seen once he gets into the 2026 Aston Martin Car. If he performs poorly there, he would be considered as an overrated driver. (If that car is 2nd fastest and if he can't get minimum P2 drivers)
During Vettel's reign they asked the other drivers for at least two seasons who the best driver was. Basically all of them said Alonso. He carried F1 for some years, and to say Lawson has greater potential than him.. yes he and many future drivers might get more victories, but that won't be too hard considering Alonso cursed team choices.
Alonso 2026, how old will he be then? Don't think it's fair to expect the world from him then. Or even now.
Fan behavior, Lawson went from 19th to 9th in a tractor
If thats the case then why doesnt he make space for another driver on the grid? Without ruining future driver's opportunities. He keeps staying for an over ambitious 3rd world championship which won't happen
Why would any F1 driver just step down from F1 just to be kind to other drivers? Doubt they have that mentality.
That's not the point, the point is being the sport for 22yrs + while not achieving anything significant during the last 10yrs. He's just overhyped now. Even Piastri is better than him. Lawrence Stroll is not spending hundreds of Millions for the development of the 2026 Aston Martin car just to cradle a former world champion. He needs a potential world champion who can deliver. Nico Rosberg on the other hand won one, knew he couldn't win anymore and stepped aside. Alonso on the other hand is just adding to his mountain of hate by staying in the sport and delivering nothing
He didn't even have 10 podiums during the last 10 years
The point was that you said Lawson def has a greater potential than Alonso.
Many drivers are better than Alonso now since he's old.
And Stroll Sr prolly thinks/hopes he's still good enough to win a WDC, which in all honesty doesn't take a legend if the car is good enough, which Rosberg proved.
And Rosberg is the exception, not the rule, in deciding to walk away whwn he did.
Currently they are not there. They started out the season hot. Have been off ever sense
acting like alonso has nvr done that ๐ญ
This year no
RB is better car than aston right now change my mind
Absolutely
Currently its the better car at least on race pace
Kimi driving in FP1 in Mexico
Maybe this time he crashes his car instead ๐๐๐
eh
Soon to be car
The โhisโ was supposed to be Hamiltonโs ๐ my bad - poor explanation
Ik, very much aware. Hence I said soon to be๐
Of course
so aston martin is the real tractor ๐ n alonso made q3 in that โtractorโ
i swear i hate arguing w these esl ppl
dont even know what they b saying smh
In the future i think red bull will come back to the lead since they are working on a new wind tunnel. Also, the amount of tests per week with the tunnels is going to start increasing which will help them improve their car further.
F1 fans when they realise being fast over 1 lap on softs is very different from racing 2 hours straight on mediums and hards๐
i swear i hate arguing w these esl ppl
dont even know they b saying smh
lmaooo
the aston martins race pace is at the best 8th fastest ๐
Thats what I'm saying
You just have no reading comprehension
that is not what ur saying fam ๐
u lit only said lawson got p9 inna tractor
n i said ur acting like alonso has nvr done that
n then u said this yr only
n now your agreeing w me that the race pace is at best 8th
so that js makes my point more valid
bc alonso is scoring 62 pts in the 8th fastest car at the best
You just have no reading comprehension
Alonso scored half his points in the 1st 6 races
When the car was far better than it is now
Because teams can upgrade their cars, changing the power level of teams
30 pts in the 8th fastest is still impressive ๐คฃ
n it hasnt even been fully half more
when it was better b4 yes well its worse now n he still scored pts ๐คก
Hes getting 0 points in half the races hes done when his car is slow
Alonso is old and have seen his best days.
But people need to chill with Lawson. Not saying he can't become good and a household name. But it's too new to jump on any wagon yet.
like u said after the first 6 races is where he scored half his pts the other races the car has been one of the worst n he still scotes 30, what r u tryna prove dawg
facts
Maybe with Newey AM can actually build a worthy car for 2026 but I doubt Alonso will still be part of the team by then
didnt he literally js sign an extension ๐ญ
Extensions mean nothing because contracts get broken everywhere
He has contract for 2026 so he will probably have to fall off Perez style for them to terminate it.
facts again
u havent missed yet ๐ญ
Wow, I'm facts master today ๐

hi whatโs up
Gday mate
what mate l am Sam
But Aston Martin was P5 until Summer break. The others were nowhere. Still Alonso didn't pull any stellar performances.
I chose both McLaren and Aston Martin in the vote ๐
Subject to change tho. I used to like Ferrari and Red Bull as well. And might develop feelings for Mercedes in the coming years.
Hello
Why did so many vote for Ferrari? Because they have Leclerc and Sainz?
My guess would be Ferrari simply has the most fans in the world.
Yes, interesting
hi mate
I dont think so, my older brother is a huge Ferrari fan, even b4 I was born, but he doesnt like leclerc at all...๐คท
I don't like Norris
Hamilton is the best
I mean.. he is not wrong
He's definitely in the top five of all time drivers
yall saw that drugovich is gonna sub alonso in fp1 and fp2
FP1 only
Unfortunately, yes
Wdym unfortunately?
Why unfortunately
You only have to look at this guy's messages before to work it out but I'd like to hear it from him ๐
@scarlet vessel comon broski, we're all waiting
rookies not doing that well today
Bonsoir.
Am I the only one who thinks that Albon is 100% responsible for that crash with Bearman in FP1 ?
And after he gets out of the car he calls Bearman ยซย idiotย ยป ??? Really Alex ?
He did? How ?!?
I saw commentary that he did spin and hit Bearman but didn't see the situation ๐
Lol 100% Albon fault there ๐
Sargeants fault
10 seconds penalty for Ocon in my opinion
George ๐
He just took too much curb
shwartzman 5 place penalty ๐คฃ
Did i really just see hinch do cheerleading๐๐

Why did norris get a penalty in us grand prix
Cause gorge Russel did the same thing as verstapen and he got a penalty
Nah what you on but they still had done the same thing they are side by side
So they could battle but they broke late verstapen broke really late

And at the start how did he not get a penalty
The rules state that if you are ahead at the apex, you DO NOT NEED to let space to the other driverโฆ therefore Max didnโt get a penalty, Russell did.
Max knows the rules and plays with them perfectlyโฆ Norris still has some learning to do
where do you guys watch f1 today besides on bein sports? is there live f1 mexico here?
This is why the rules are ridiculous. You can brake so late with no intention of making the corner to make sure you're ahead at the apex and run the other driver off and it's okay. They seriously need to change the wording of it or the rule itself
Agreed, the rule MF on this sucks and need to be changed but until itโs done, Max had technically the right to do what he did
Ok fair
Maxโs engine penalty seems more and more likely
**:bar_chart: Will Checo go to Q2/3 **

Iโm not even sure those Honda engines need air to produce power ๐

Iโm sorry but Checo needs to go asap
What on earth are Piastri and Checo doing?
18 in his own. GP ? What the hell
How Red Bull are still keeping him is bonkers.
Colapinto in a Williams beating a McLaren and a Red Bull (at a home race) ?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?
STROLL IN Q2
I mean they were beaten by a Sauber as well
Perez is gone after this race
Has to be
Surely this should be bye bye perez
To me he is dead last
Checo โฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆ I was a faithful follower and supporter but this is absurd
If they retain him For next year, red bull will be sacrificing CC to get more wind tunnel time for new regs
So was I. I've wanted him to do so well in the Red Bull and genuinely thought he would but you just can't give any reason to keep him anymore
Are they aiming for p5?
For red bull , CC is that important anyways
Max will become WC in the 3rd place CC car
You never know.. with newey not around, they can't see air !
When was the last time that happened?
Remember 2012 ?
No I did not watch then
I donโt remember the last time a world champion was in the 3rd best team to be honest
I was a fan after he blocked and fought LH in Abu Dhabi... And last to first sakhir.. but this has got to stop..he is embarrassing himself
Watch 2012 ... Season F1 TV.. 6 drivers had a chance at CC till last race
That was one of the well fought season
Iโm just glad I put Haas as my 2nd constructor in fantasy ๐
Kinda sad I have McLaren as the other
They are doing better than Checo for sure
True.. punching above their weight.. komatsu seems like a good tech brain
P16 ๐ฃ๏ธ ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ท
I'm torn as a fan of Max. He derserves a better teammate. I don't care who, but Checo in the previous years has dropped like a brick AFTER THEY RENEWED HIS CONTRACT.
Renew his cotnract after ffs
Funny thing would be if Ferraris can do what they did last weekend and challenge McLaren for CC
Lawson looks good for that or piastri.. gong by Webber or helmut
The funnier thing would be if Red Bull dropped down the CC because of Checo failing miserably
If Max holds on to drivers championship and if Red Bull looses 1 more place in constructors, there is no doubt he wonโt be back next season.
They want it .. from the looks of it.. more Wind tunnel time
Cough sponsorship money cough
Piastri won't go there. He won't want to be 2nd fiddle. Him and Lando are pretty evenly matched
It wonโt matter for next season. I did matter this year
Give one more year, he will be better than lando.. sure lando has speed but his racecraft leaves a lot desired.. piastri is improving race by race
P3 is well deserved to be honest. When all top 4 teams are with 2 drrivers and Red Bull is with 1 - that's not surprising
I don't think they are that fussed about it either.. they just want to sell more red bulls in South America.. and checos face sells more
Then even more reason why he won't go to Red Bull. I do think Lando will improve still though as well. I think that driver line up has potential to be the best on the grid
Yep, even at p19 ๐
Emotional.. doesn't matter where he ends up but name checo...
@heady sonnet Bring in Pat OโWard and keep sponsors ๐
Get Lance and cruise to victory. That's the way
Max looks dialled in.. for this one... His target would be wither ahead of Norris or 1-2 positions behind him
I wonder if Shane VanGinsberg can drive an F1 car ๐ค
He seems to be able to drive everything else
Sure he is three tenths down on lando now but he always pulls rabbit out of hat on Q3
Good driver lineup with lando not having that alpha instinct... Won't work with teammate like max though
Lando would be the perfect teammate for Max
Oscar? Not so much. He actually has that fighting spirit
Checo? come on ๐ I can be better than that ๐
In a warped way, it makes sense.. he is docile... Cares more about personal relations ... And drives good..
Williams performance and knowing Sainz is on the way makes me happy
But no champion instinct like schumi or senna... To be a WDC, you need to be ruthless and winat all costs mentality
Lawson and tsunoda evenly matched... Good for a guy who has not driven a car for more than a year..
I think Lawson is also not a ๐ซท over
Lawson doing great. Pinto beans doing well also
As good and as nice Lando is - he's too "good" to be a champion.
๐ฉ
Piastri out ๐ ?
Yuki
He needs to learn how to not to divebomb and overtake smartly.๐คฃ
what did I miss ๐ญ
And zak needs to s t f u ๐
Tsu and Lawson out
You missed Checo being Checo and going out in Q1
He's no worse than Horner or Toto lol
Tsunoda in barriers.. screwed Lawson and alonso
Zak is definitely worse than both of them
Yuki just messed up a lot of people including his teammate
lmao I didnt even notice him ๐ I bet he directly went home to take a nap
Horner and Toto are more refined.. they have had years of practice ๐คฃ
In what world? If anything he's not as bad but he's definitely not worse
Damn it Yuki
Both the aston's crying right now ๐ฌ
Toto is smart. He can whine in such a way that it will seem smart. Zak? He whines so much lately that it's just silly
Fantasy team is now ๐ฉ this weekend ๐
They wouldn't have made it anyway so doesn't matter lol
Like his driver, he needs to learn how to do it from Horner and toto
So, who do you think will be on pole ?
Williams stepping up on a corner track is impressive ๐ฅณ
And Horner never whines? He's the worst out of the 3. Toto I agree he can make it sound smart. Zak is saying a bit lately but nothing close to what Horner or Toto have been like at times
My money on max ...but let's see. Leclerc might pull some thing out.. or overdrive and crash
I put Horner and Brown at the same level. Yes, I'm not a fan of Merc, but Toto just trumps them both
Toto is more refined out of 3 but .. Horner is not too behind toto.. Zak, definitely worst.. affidavits ? Who the fk asks that ? .. that's whining at next level
Who cares. Only results on track matter. They all whine. Itโs the game
For me, Zak has only started since there's actually been a championship battle. It seems like the TP have to comment and criticise if they're at the top. Horner and Toto were awful at it, Horner hasn't needed to be for a while because there was no competition but he's back to it now and Zak is starting to act like a TP at the top
What'd affidavits?
I think Fred is actually good.. or it might be the case where I can't understand anything he says ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
There is a smart way to do it and there is a whingey way to do it. Zak opted for the second thing
Fred is definitely the best out of the top teams. So chilled and relaxed in how he comes across
He wanted affidavits signed by all red bull mechanics that didn't use bib during parc ferme
Well for me I find Horner more whiney than Zak but I guess that's just personal opinion lol
What is affidavits? I have no idea what you're talking about ๐
Just check his latest complaints about Austin. Come on.
Well DTS has to "survive" though.. so
Is max right? Probably not. Is that within the rules? Absolutely yes
James Vowells dropping jokes ๐
