[stone rain]

I mean he had no reason to move until now

If he stays for next season too then sure he overstayed at RB

[heady sonnet]

That’s a twist

[glass garnet]

I’m kind of cheering for him to leave at this point.

That way Netflix is happy, they have content for this year and the year after 😅😅😅

[heady sonnet]

I wonder what the guys that said Jos and Max wanted Horner out so they can rule the team would say if he leaves and then says that it was because Horner left

Sorry not left - was fired 😀

[low valley]

Red Bull's kinda just falling apart at this point

[low valley]

I kinda did think of that, but taking another look at it, it seems more likely that a different faction in Red Bull justs wants them all out because their squabble is pushing away people.

[winter ledge]

Imagine if rb want max to leave cuz his salary is too expensive 😆

[heady sonnet]

I read a fair bit lately. There has been a change of leadership of the 2% outstanding (49% Thai guys 49% Austrians and one of the Thai owners has 2% on his own. Austrians wanted him out and appears they convinced the lone guy to get him out. But long term - not sure how that would work. I don’t think the new French guy is what can help or what Max needs

[undone trellis]

Du du dudu

MAX VERSTAPEN !!!!

Du du dudu

MAX VERSTAPEN

[soft bough]

Honestly, I would hate for max to go to Mercedes. George has never truly had a car that can bring championships. He joined Williams which was. Let’s be fair, Godawful and then went to Mercedes just after they lost a championship winning car. Yet he is still able to pull consistent points in recent years. Even with a car that isn’t the best

This year has been his best year as well

[heady sonnet]

I wouldn’t compare Karen to max. Karen isn’t a generational talent .

He finished after not-daddy’s-boy in F3 after all. That’s nothing to be proud of

[glass garnet]

Barca’s going to read this and say : « Told you… when Lance gets a good car he’ll win races just like Georgie can »

[astral jolt]

Guys just saw an reel where Carlos was singing smooth operator and he got 5 sec panelty is that true or ai?

[wraith loom]

????

obviously its fake

[sonic tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/cp3o-star-wars-were-doomed-gif-15966650

[pliant cloak]

If he isnt trolling and is genuinly wondering whether its AI or fake then yes, humanity is done for

[astral jolt]

Genuinely asking and thnx for support man 😭😭

New to f1 so don't know much I thought it's illegal to si g while driving

*Sing

[pliant cloak]

Yeah its over

[glass garnet]

Welcome to the F1 world mate … and no, it isn’t illegal to sing … unless he’s swearing while singing… then he could be in trouble.

Oh and clearly it’s AI 🤖

[wide spruce]

c as soon as he gets a good car he wins

aston martin is letting him down

[heady sonnet]

For sure

[hidden sequoia]

Is it bad to say i think stroll will do better with the newey car next year than alonso

[winter ledge]

It's not, but can he?

[heady sonnet]

It’s not bad, it’s just delusional 😀

[hidden sequoia]

Idk man, everyone just seems to think alonso will magically become class with a good car. Hes old and definitely not what he used to be

[heady sonnet]

I do agree but that won’t make Lance beat him. I mean - he doesn’t even seem to want to drive in f1

[crude kiln]

Alonso is old, so what you're saying isn't out of the question

[hidden sequoia]

I think its a 50/50

[glass garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/a-few-moments-later-gif-20230109

[hidden sequoia]

Who knows maybe stroll will find some encouragement once he gets a good car

[low valley]

Stroll could if he fixes his mentality
It's pretty much the main factor in what holds him back

[heady sonnet]

Going away from "Daddy is making me do this, so I have to keep him happy"? 😄

Ngl 2021 should be better than 2020

[native gorge]

Does forfeiting race in sprints give u 3 points?

[crude kiln]

It would give 0. But idk if anyone has ever done that.

[heady sonnet]

I don’t think anyone every tried to forfeit a sprint. At least not in the previous years. They can decide to retire the car but that’s clearly a 0 point for the pilot.

[glass garnet]

That’s too subtle of an answer @heady sonnet … should’ve just answered the generic one:

« You might have an answer to your question if it was asked in the right channel »

[native gorge]

My bad. Wrong channel.

[unique dirge]

Guys what's the worst f1 team

I think it's Ferrari bcuz they have a good car and have difficulties going in top ten sometimes plus they have bad strategies

[heady sonnet]

It gets boring 😀

[heady sonnet]

Right now ? Red bull racing

[misty swallow]

I did, when I knew I would have no chance to win considering I would need 46-47 points to complete the sprint

[heady sonnet]

You are in one of the teams ? Which one ? I haven’t seen anyone in there actually forfeiting

@glass garnet you were right, it was too subtle 😀 should have gone with the default

[crude kiln]

And the fact you just copied me so there were 2 posts about it, and still it didnt work for us 😅

[edgy fiber]

[sonic tinsel]

@crude ember #💬│f1-clash-general message

Either McLaren Driver is a win 😉

[crude ember]

I mean, I like Piastri more as a person, but Norris deserves it more

Although I cheer for all the lowtier teams + Williams

[sonic tinsel]

Very similarly minded between the two drivers there actually. I feel like Norris deserves it, though I can't articulate very well on why, while Piastri just seems to have a slightly bigger hunger than Norris and that's why he's been pulling ahead.

[crude ember]

Norris lets the pressure get to him way more easily meanwhile oscar can keep it more under control, although we’ve finally seen him become human in the last 2 races

[sonic tinsel]

Agreed. Norris' errors let him down too often. Unfortunately you can see he beats himself up about them which hopefully isn't impacting his edge.

Piastri definitely let his calm slip. Will have to see if that impacts him over the rest of the season

[crude ember]

If Norris can keep driving like he did in Austria will he become the winner out of the battle, the big question is if he can become consistent enough

[fallen leaf]

I want Lewis to win but his car is bad

[solid hawk]

What no

[fallen leaf]

?

[fallen leaf]

I guess Hamilton just hasn’t got the car. It’s nowhere

[solid hawk]

Maybe he just old

[fallen leaf]

Maybe. I just think these cars have been too heavy idk.

[solid hawk]

No I think the cars are fine in my opinion. I just think he too old.

He does seem to make more mistakes nowadays. Maybe it is age ig

@sonic tinsel Is there a "bug" in the game right now? Because several people are reporting that on Series 11 and 12 tracks, despite having higher stats (e.g., speed and overtaking) than the track requires, the opponent is going much faster. And comparing these images, they're right.

[heady sonnet]

Is there a bug in reading the channel descriptions?

You posted it in the right place AND then you decided it's a good idea to post it after that in the completely unrelated place? Nicely done 😄

I stand corrected - Hulk is the odd one there! 😄

Getting his first podium is probably the big influence, it also creates better symmetry in the image rather than having say just Norris, Verstappen and Stroll in there

Things I learned today - Lando has a Belgian citizenship too! And Max opted for Dutch one exclusively (possibly because the Netherlands recently doesn't allow dualcitizenships, although i'm sure if it's by birth it would be fine as is his case

I won’t troll Lando too much anymore on having the right passport 😃😀

Never said they'd cancel it 😉

I'm going to say a McLaren. Doesn't matter which

So this is a fake summer break 😃 😏

[glass garnet]

I’d call it a glitch in the matrix… they probably moved Hungary after Spa to give them two more weeks, just in case, to finish the renovations they had to make. I guess the FIA played it safe on this one has the Hungary renovations have been finished for a few weeks now

[crude kiln]

Seems so

[molten yoke]

I'll accept any new podium sitter, even ones who didn't get this season

[earnest meadow]

frll i wanna see one of the rookies get podium

[molten yoke]

For me it can be anyone as that means everyone who's not in the top 4 teams (except for lewis ofc)

And also yuki, i forgot bout him

[heady sonnet]

It’s easy to forget about Yuki as he’s not doing anything 😀

[dapper wagon]

Whoki Tsunoda.

[winter ledge]

Ping me when sprint q start

[heady sonnet]

For @hybrid crag

[hybrid crag]

Cant wait for sunday 😆 cheers !

[fallen leaf]

You going to watch Sundays race over there KaBe?

[hybrid crag]

Of course why would I come for friday only 😆

[fallen leaf]

Oh you’re going to see an f1 race in person, nice!

[heady sonnet]

You can then stop by Tomorrowland 😀😀😀😀

[fallen leaf]

Look forward to Sunday then mate 😆 😆 remember your coat 😉

[pliant cloak]

Girl on the left was not having it

[hybrid crag]

Doing that once per every year actually 😁

[fallen leaf]

Oh ok, enjoy 😄

[storm oar]

who will win this grand prix?

no answers?

[solid hawk]

I think 1-2 for McLaren and 3-4 Ferrari

[pliant cloak]

Bro its been 8 minutes...

[storm oar]

ik

[pliant cloak]

But anyway, easy 1-2 for Mclaren, probably 20-30 seconds ahead of the rest of the field

[fallen leaf]

What about max? He’ll be quick on the straights

[storm oar]

i think the winner gotta be kimi

[fallen leaf]

The only thing that can stop McLaren is an engine failure 🙃 😅

[solid hawk]

Maybe

[pliant cloak]

For real tho

[storm oar]

hopefully leclerc doesnt crash again

[fallen leaf]

Ik

[solid hawk]

Ye

[fallen leaf]

It’s gonna be interesting with the rain. Especially up eau rouge. There’s been drama there before

[celest ledge]

When is fp1?

[solid hawk]

Damm

[fallen leaf]

3 mins, if only you’d said that 3 mins later

[celest ledge]

Thanks Kaylum 👑

[solid hawk]

Who do you think is gonna get last

[fallen leaf]

Bortoleto

[solid hawk]

I think Nico Hülkenberg

Or bortoleto

[fallen leaf]

It’s started let’s gooo

[storm oar]

world champion this year is

verstappen

[heady sonnet]

No. Extremely unlikely

[storm oar]

leclerc is 16

p16

[pliant cloak]

Wrong chat brother

[solid hawk]

No

[modern bane]

Ty

[solid hawk]

It’s probably gonna be lando

[wraith loom]

pinto

[fallen leaf]

💀

[severe palm]

ocon used to be p3 💀

[native gorge]

Whose on top after FP1?

[fallen leaf]

Piastri

[glass garnet]

How can Yuki be 2 full seconds behind Max is mind boggling…😳

He’s also 1 full seconds behind Lawson in the Racing Bulls 🫠

[heady sonnet]

lol

[heady sonnet]

It’s the car suited to max. Or something

[glass garnet]

Oh you mean Max is such a great driver that he can actually make the RB look good … yes I agree

[wide spruce]

dont act suprised guys although he finished in p8 he wanted to give others a chance for the spotlight

[crude kiln]

Finally the summer break is over (...) and we get F1 again!

Summer break 1 of 2.

[molten yoke]

THROUGH GOES HAMILTON

[crude kiln]

Everyone out in Q1 was a surprise except one 😅

[stone rain]

Hamilton 🤣

Antonelli gone too

[coarse berry]

What happened to Hamilton

[fallen leaf]

Spun

[wraith loom]

weird spin tho

[coarse berry]

Yeah i see the sbinalla

[wraith loom]

rear lock in braking

[coarse berry]

Uhh, really unfortunate

[fallen leaf]

This is why Hamilton eliminated on Q1

[wraith loom]

5 different teams got eliminated sheesh

[hybrid crag]

I took raincoat but didnt take sunblock.. frickin burnin here today 😆 This I didnt expect

[fallen leaf]

Sad about Lewis tho. Another rookie mistake

[winter kernel]

Can't really blame the car there but that's what they will say the reason was either way

[coarse berry]

Norris revive from the tomb

Piastri almost out of sq2

[stone rain]

Track Evo go crazy

[molten yoke]

Haas both cars made it to q3(sq3)

[wraith loom]

that is some extreme track evolution oh my

[coarse berry]

Extreme? Its just mentally insane

[blissful thicket]

This is the strangest q3 session

[stone rain]

I think it'll be fuel loads too

McLaren had more fuel than those who opted for 1 run

[coarse berry]

I can sense people saying that Piastri is washed or Antonelli is washed

[blissful thicket]

Wait what happened to yuki?

[coarse berry]

Idk

[stone rain]

Normal quali

[coarse berry]

Redbull shenaningans

[stone rain]

Aborted first lap then wasn't fast enough in final lap

[blissful thicket]

There was so much movement in the end I lost track of half the drivers

[crude kiln]

He is washed

[coarse berry]

All go for 1 run and make that times

[molten yoke]

Surprised no impending incidents

[wraith loom]

mclaren seems to be running at least 5 clicks of downforce more than red bull

[blissful thicket]

Traffic gonna be an issue with everyone waiting this long?

[wraith loom]

oh aston and rb are on the same points interesting

[coarse berry]

Wdym that both teams are on the same points

Waos Piastri 1:40

[wraith loom]

what on earth is piastri cooking

[blissful thicket]

ESTY??

I saw the purple sector 1 a and had hope

[coarse berry]

A beef Wellington 5 star Michelling gourmet dinner

Norris i dont think was sloppy but it seems slower in Spa compared to Max or Piastri

Maybe in race he can do somerhing but here its seems Piastri is just cooking definitely

[wraith loom]

i think he pushed way to hard on the outlap

its so obvious even on tv lol

[coarse berry]

Too much push, that ruin his lap

[coarse berry]

Yeah, well at least its not a bottle, its genuine that Piastri os the fastest here

Tomorrow he can compete for the win but need to be steady and not overpush

[valid isle]

Hello Peaple!! How are you? Always forza Ferrari!

[fallen leaf]

Good thanks, you

[valid isle]

Hi man

[deft geyser]

🥲 uhhh idk i just got into f1 like a few months ago im so sorry

[deft geyser]

oh shi

[sharp kiln]

Well no, Felipe Massa is an 11 time race winner who came close to winning the drivers world championship in 2008, only missing out because of an overtake Lewis Hamilton made on the final corner of the final lap

[deft geyser]

oh

lol

[molten yoke]

Guys, How's the weather like near stavelot/spa or whatever

There's a movie starring Brad Pitt called F1.

[hybrid crag]

Burning heat from the sun 2nd day in a row

[molten yoke]

Won't be for long

But no rain for quali?

[solid hawk]

What are your predictions for the sprint?

[molten yoke]

Hopefully the top 3 take each other out

[solid hawk]

Wait, are the Alpines starting from the pitlane or smh?

[weak wigeon]

Landor norris to win this weekend GP discuss

[hybrid crag]

Today full sun whole day i think

Very likely rain tommorow

[molten yoke]

Nice, hopefully not much

[crude kiln]

Gasly not starting at all it seems. Car issues.

[molten yoke]

Yeah, got to know rn

[weak wigeon]

George Russel p13 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Max might aswel just replace him now

No soft tyres? 😳😳😳

Hamilton p18 he's a cooked driver now 🤣

[crude kiln]

What a start!

[deft geyser]

oop

[crude kiln]

Surprisingly boring. Spa often has the most overtakes on the calendar. The cars are just too even.

[opaque crest]

Extremely boring race, doesn't bode well for tomorrow

[winter ledge]

Need rain

😏

[coarse berry]

Redbull conf was insane

[weak wigeon]

Me old boy max go go gooooo

[coarse berry]

Piastri struggled a lot

[weak wigeon]

Only 44 laps tomorrow 🤔🤔 does max win 🥵🥵🥵🥵

[coarse berry]

I dpubt

In short term racing Max excels because od the configuration

In the long straighs the Redbull excels but in the curves its struggled a lot

[marble hazel]

Simply lovely🦁

[coarse berry]

I don't discard him of winning if they do the right calls and the car doesnt crumble

[weak wigeon]

I think max is on par with the mclaren to be quiet honest.

[coarse berry]

But in long-term race its more complicated

[coarse berry]

Yeah, in the straights hes the one

And his defensive style make it difficult

[crude kiln]

Nah was quite clear he held them up today. I mean Norris caught up quite easily. Max getting ahead right away and the top speed saved him today.

[coarse berry]

Thats also my point

Because the race was short he mantain the lead thanks to the top spend

And make no mistakes in the curves

In a long term race he's going to have some struggles, its natural with how easy the Resbull crumbles in the long-term

[vocal gate]

max wins

ofc

[solid hawk]

Ye

[vocal gate]

maxime is the best ♥️

[chrome bough]

Roles get updated next season ay. With Audi and Cadillac coming I

[solid hawk]

Na

[weak wigeon]

They best driver to ever step foot in a f1 car

[wraith loom]

dont forget they can still change their setup now

[solid hawk]

Only reason he won is because you’re good in straight

[weak wigeon]

Better than Oscar and lando

[solid hawk]

No bro, who won last year?

Who’s on the higher points?

[weak wigeon]

Bro he's better and faster than mclaren and it just proved it.

[solid hawk]

But did Lando win last year and who’s on the higher point this year , Oscar

[weak wigeon]

Max is in s tractor and still on par with mclaren just shows you doesnt it

[solid hawk]

Well, we’ll talk when he actually shows it

[abstract basalt]

I have a feeling mclaren almost got it, waiting for qualifying hope max keeps this up

[solid hawk]

K we will see

[wraith loom]

mclaren needs to reduce their downforce by at least 2 clicks

[lyric flame]

why is tsunoda so bad at one time

[molten yoke]

I think half of the overtakes in the sprint are on t5 lap 1

Any other overtakes are ig are stroll v. Alonso and norris back on leclerc

[unique dirge]

Gaytorade is a sponsor now

[pliant cloak]

McLaren over 1 lap is faster. The problem for McLaren is low top speed, so they cant overtake on the straight

And being in constant dirty air is not good for tyre temp, brakes etc...

[glass garnet]

I just watched the Sprint race … and that’s why Max has 99 défense in the game 😅

It was a great pass early in the first lap and he just drove it home but now let’s see what he can do in qualifying and the big bet on weather for tomorrow … will it rain 🌧️ ☔️ ?

[heady sonnet]

Tomorrow is very likely before the race

Still already doing …. X

[molten yoke]

Stroll is THE goat

Yet another legendary moment

[heady sonnet]

The goat in doing stupid stuff 😀

[molten yoke]

Very stupid indeed

[wide spruce]

hulksnburg ruining strills qualifying smh

STROLL DIDNT EVEN PIT 😭

[molten yoke]

Great minds think alike

We shouldn't question

[fickle junco]

Does anyone have links to watch the quali?

[molten yoke]

Nope .....what links..... We don't do that here👎

[cinder pecan]

bro he was faster in the corners didn't you see?

he had better exit speed cuz of his skill

mclarens had DRS the whole time and still couldn't catch up

and after the final chicane max was always about 0.7 sec ahead

[wraith loom]

did u forget dirty air exists

[pliant cloak]

Yeah its purely dirty air. You cant drive consistently within 0.6 seconds of another car. And if you dont have enough straight line speed to overtake, its impossible to overtake without a mistake from Max. But we all know Max rarely makes mistakes

[low valley]

You'd have to somehow close into striking range into Eau Rouge.
Which doesn't seem like it was possible.
There was enough of a concertina effect from T1 that an overtake was only possible on Lap 1.

[crude kiln]

Stroll pole trust trust. We'll be there!

Or not it seems 🙈 Q1 exit

[hidden sequoia]

0_0

[cinder pecan]

well mclarens weren't following that closely

but yeah you're right

[solid grove]

newey has to pull a bloody miracle with that aston 😭

[molten yoke]

HAMILTON LAP TIME DELETED

[wraith loom]

washed

[cinder pecan]

damn how?

at least bortoleto has a shot

[molten yoke]

track limits at Radillion

[wraith loom]

both antonelli and hamilton q1 knockout in sq and q

[glass garnet]

A pitty for him … and for both Aston Martin 😕

[molten yoke]

And for Antonelli

[wraith loom]

at least today norris is much closer to piastri

[wide spruce]

this amr js sucks p19 n p20 🤦‍♂️

[crude kiln]

2026. Newey. More airtunnel time. Trust trust.

[winter ledge]

Who's out q1?

[solid hawk]

What the grid look like

[winter ledge]

AM, lewis, colo, and?

[crude kiln]

Ant Man

[solid hawk]

Is out or what

[crude kiln]

Tsunoda doing a good Q2 😯

[molten yoke]

Wow, Tsunoda in q3

[coarse berry]

Tsunoda finally in q3

[stone rain]

Bortoleto been very good recently

7-6 in quali Vs Hulk now

[coarse berry]

He's doing an amazing job as a rookie

[wraith loom]

watch hulk come back for the win tmr real real real

[coarse berry]

No delusion, pure vibes

[glass garnet]

He ain’t no Max Verstappen … I wouldn’t put money on that bet

[wraith loom]

the sauber's race pace is honestly more solid than other teams

[crude kiln]

Hulk gave him a tow this time tho. Took one for the team I guess.

[coarse berry]

Yeah, its one of the best race pace

[heady plank]

Hey

[coarse berry]

Hey

Norris pole

[molten yoke]

Tsunoda nice

[heady sonnet]

Yuki not last wow 😀

[coarse berry]

Finally

[glass garnet]

Nobody … and I mean NOBODY, ever won the Belgium GP starting from 4th on the grid

Could Max become the first if there’s a bit of rain tomorrow?

[coarse berry]

No

[bitter pivot]

Top 5 tomorrow is Norris Piastri Leclerc Verstappen Albon

[molten yoke]

Lawson heroics L1 T1(ICBM to the McLarens) , Leclerc vs Verstappen battle.Albon win

[heady sonnet]

Would be very hard

[coarse berry]

What is ICBM?

[glass garnet]

But we’re talking about Max here 😏

[molten yoke]

Missile

[coarse berry]

Hmm, well of you put it that way

[coarse berry]

Glazer, even if Max is a beast in rain the car is in a configuration for no rain

[heady sonnet]

Still hard. If the McLarens just fly off it won’t matter

[molten yoke]

Yeah, same as Silverstone

[coarse berry]

🗣️ 🔥

[coarse berry]

Well here isnt going to be like Silverstone, the long straights benefit the Red Bull but still the curves make it harder

But still, Max going to struggle

[molten yoke]

Yeah, there is just as much demand for downforce

[coarse berry]

Not a lot like Silverstone but its going to struggle

[stone rain]

Max is set up for the rain

[molten yoke]

Kemmel straight will be his only plus point

[stone rain]

It's just McLaren are so much better

The set up max has for tomorrow is completely different to the one he had during sprint race

[coarse berry]

Still the Quicklarens are too quick

[stone rain]

Ye they are but it's completely different scenario to Silverstone

[coarse berry]

Yeah, thats what i was saying

[molten yoke]

So, is there rain tmrw?

[stone rain]

You're still mentioning the speed RB have in the straights

[coarse berry]

Very probable

[stone rain]

Which would have been correct for his previous set up

[molten yoke]

Oof

[stone rain]

Now they've fully commited to sector 2 so RB have less top speed and more down force

[coarse berry]

Its going to be rain

[stone rain]

If it does rain it should be a P3 for max

[coarse berry]

Well a more balanced setup is good but it make so much difficult for Max to overtake in general

[coarse berry]

Maybe, but i need to see that Leclerc going to battle against him

[stone rain]

If it's dry I can see that happening

[low ravine]

it must rain tmrw at spa

[stone rain]

Leclerc set up more suited to the dry

[coarse berry]

I hope, Leclerc need to defend that position but i just hoping for Ferrari to not mess things tmrw

[coarse berry]

Yeah, cuz must be the water

[molten yoke]

Idk if Verstappen is in a low downforce setup, but if it rains or if it alters between dry and wet then we hope strategy. So McLaren mess up or any papaya rules might happen. Not too sure about Leclerc and Ferrari

[stone rain]

He's in a high down force set up.

[coarse berry]

Let's hope Charles dont have his seat full of water tomorrow

[molten yoke]

Oh yeah, second q3 run bad first sector right. But I'm pretty sure its the incident at la source

[stone rain]

His second sector in this quali was 6 tenths quicker than his sprint quali second sector

Whilst his first sector was 3 tenths slower than his sprint quali first sector

They said RB have moved to a high down force set up on commentary

[coarse berry]

I didn't know that info

[molten yoke]

Yeah, Tsunoda did pretty good

And also, Lawson and Bortoleto also in q3 so that's pretty cool

[coarse berry]

Tsunoda is doing good finally

[molten yoke]

I'm guessing coincidence with Mekies joining

[pliant cloak]

Horner out -> no more stress within the team -> Yuki starts performing decently

[winter ledge]

Hmm, nice theory

[acoustic patio]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-cat-dance-cat-cat-meme-chinese-cat-gif-5607351392027373452

[warped nymph]

ANYONE ELSE EXCITED TO SEE VERSTAPPEN GET MAD WITH RAIN TOMMORROW

Yeah definitely, thunder too I think

[bitter pivot]

Bad

[fallen leaf]

90% chance of rain tomorrow 😅

what you all say about lewis p16

[glass garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/atraoymax-atraoy-antioche-gif-18171535

[bitter pivot]

Why people saying this? It's not special at all

Lewis out of Q1 is as casual as Stroll

[wraith loom]

fun fact: lando, oscar and max all share an equal amount of pole positions this season, with all of them sitting at 4 poles

[light galleon]

Max max super max

[bitter pivot]

If Max to Mercedes in 2026:💀

new electric hybrid era: Merc engine advantage
Best car + Best driver:💀
Max vs Russell: Silver war ONCE AGAIN, with Max being Hamilton, Russell is Rosberg
Russell retire with a title after beat Max somewhere around 2030
Max wins 19 titles in a row💀 (you read that right)

[heady sonnet]

Little chance of happening

[fallen leaf]

The race or the cancellation?

[heady sonnet]

It’s not raining that much

[fallen leaf]

Yeah it is. Thunder

[heady sonnet]

The cancellation

[fallen leaf]

The rain is during the race

[heady sonnet]

It’s going to be ok 😀

[sharp kiln]

Istg if we get another 2021 situation💔🥀

[still brook]

2021 was great 🤣🤣🤣, it’s my favorite race forever

[fallen leaf]

I think we’ll get another race today like that but this time they’ll race and it’ll be heavy showers, possibly a wet to dry to wet to dry sort of race

[fallen leaf]

Yeah, looks like heavy showers

@heady sonnet my app/website is usually correct too, it says here that this GP is going to be a washout

[crude kiln]

Karma for those who want rainy races and seem to forget rain mostly means red flags and waiting + less overtakes.

Is a small window where rain actually makes for better races. Happens like once every 2-4 seasons 😅

[fallen leaf]

F3 has been cancelled! And it’s really heavily raining. @heady sonnet why you trying to disappoint us with a dry race. Look on google 😄

[fallen leaf]

I want rain cause I like the drama. I’m just forgetting about red flags and maybe cancellation 😅

F3 before (got cancelled) ‘must be the water’ 😅 🤣 🤣

[heady sonnet]

a local one is always going to be more accurate than a random forecast 😄

I'm not saying it won't rain at all, but it's not as bad. Yes F3 was cancelled, but they were spinning left and right behind the safety car. F1 drivers are a "bit" More experiences. apart from Stroll ofc

F2 is going fine right now and is almost over too

[fallen leaf]

Apparently f1 is under threat of cancellation too, wish I could send links here

[heady sonnet]

Let me guess, Sky hoping for it so Lando doesn't get embarassed? 😄

[fallen leaf]

Maybe 😏

[fallen leaf]

Now F2 is cancelled, Goethe engine blew up

[heady sonnet]

Mous getting the ad right 😀

[hybrid crag]

The rain so far coming and going, 10 min rain 10 min break and again

Its not that super hard when it rains as well

[heady sonnet]

Typical stavelot weather 😀

[hybrid crag]

Happy with that, makes it more spicy

A bit of sun showing up for the first time today

[heady sonnet]

Aaand it’s gone 😀

[winter ledge]

Is it raining or not?😂

We'll watch paper boat race instead ig 🤣

Or another Stroll spin at go kart track😆

[glass garnet]

Last year Canada was great with the rain … Brazil was « simply lovely » in the rain as well.

And you seem To forget that 3 weeks ago, rain gave us another great race … so it’s much more than one every 2-4 years

[crude kiln]

Wasn't meant as an exact figure 😅 And regardless if you're correct or not it's often bad.

[glass garnet]

It’s the kind of races that create surprises … and that isn’t bad (other than the red flags and the waiting)

[crude kiln]

Yes that CAN happen. But you also seem to forget that 3w ago there was alot of waiting as well. Not everyone appreciates that. Spending their whole afternoon just sitting and waiting.

[glass garnet]

And that’s why today… I’ll just record the race and watch later so I can skip these red flags 🚩 😅

[fallen leaf]

Almost no rain during last two hrs. And quite a lot of sun.

[winter ledge]

Enjoy bro!

[glass garnet]

I hate to break it to you @wide spruce but it’s not reverse grid qualifying in F1… Stroll starts last …not 1st 😂🤣😂

… and remember this ?

https://tenor.com/view/lance-stroll-beached-crash-can't-drive-stranded-gif-8769888332837886858

[wide spruce]

do you remember last week? n hulkenburg got podium from p19

[glass garnet]

Yeah … but that was Hulkenberg… not Stroll 😏😉

Stroll is always mentioned as being a good driver in the rain and yet he’s never proven that it’s the case … was it last year or the year before that he went early on slicks in Spa and ended up in the wall ?

I mean we need to get over his 1 pole position in his early years … he ain’t that good in the rain 🌧️

[heady sonnet]

Sentence should have ended with “good”

He ain’t that good period 😀

[crude kiln]

He took pole in Turkey in rain. That's probably why that talk never goes away 😇

[low valley]

He's had some decent rain related races
But it's Stroll, so there's also a lot of Stroll-related inconsistencies

[crude kiln]

Exactly

[wide spruce]

stroll was ahead of hulkenburg and the car just gave up

tbf hulkenburg did overtake him in the rain 😭

[blissful finch]

Did they expect rain? Or is everyone on a dry set up?

[molten yoke]

RED FLAG

[crude kiln]

Happy now, all you rain enthousiasts?

[low ravine]

LMFAOOOO

[heady sonnet]

You’d be crazy not to have expected rain

[winter ledge]

@wide spruce AM leading

[wraith loom]

you can change the rear wing spec? that will help some people

[blissful finch]

Race limit is 2 hours, but they didn’t start yet. So can they end later than 17:00?

[opaque crest]

What is the actual point of wet tyres? Why don't they just keep driving round on wets to clear the water?

[wraith loom]

no they started the timer

[hybrid crag]

It just stopped raining completely actually

[wraith loom]

^^

[blissful finch]

Ah. Then lets just wait 2 hours

[frozen wadi]

norris mom cursed the race

[fallen leaf]

Definitely raining now 😆

[blissful finch]

But they didn’t even start yet. No lap 1.
Thats weird

[low ravine]

WHO CRASHED

[frozen wadi]

she made it rain

[fallen leaf]

No-one it’s red flagged cause of weather

[low ravine]

damn so how mch delay

[hybrid crag]

No its not 😁

[coarse berry]

Must be the water

[celest ledge]

they will not race at all

[coarse berry]

I doubt they will not race. Its more tame than 2021

So they need to wait till the rain stop or at least dont go nuts

[blissful finch]

If they can’t race in the rain. Then why do we have inters and wet tyres?

Are they gonna have a solution one day?

[hybrid crag]

According to the forecast the rain is yet to come. What is now since the morning its really nothing

[coarse berry]

Actually, the wet tyres are the most useless of all

[wraith loom]

oh they started the 3hr timer not the 2hr one

[fallen leaf]

Not sure. Guess just wait. Better not be waiting for 2 hours limit tho lol 🙈

[wintry steppe]

Hii good morning

[heady sonnet]

It should start and then stop raining by around 15:35-40

[wraith loom]

that would be sad

[crude kiln]

Maybe this is why so many want rain races? They believe all the red flags are due to crashes 😯

[fallen leaf]

It’s not but heavy rain in 9 mins albon has just been told

[wintry steppe]

there is too much rain

[hybrid crag]

Yes that is the forecast i also see

But zero rain since 10 mins im surprised they didnt start

[fallen leaf]

Why do I feel it will get cancelled? Should I be thinking that 😄

[coarse berry]

Rain races are awesome, but even then i prefer the safety of the drivers before trying to put them in a unsafe track

[low ravine]

exactly bro

[coarse berry]

Its not 2021

[low ravine]

was really looking forward to george crashing right into max on the very first corner

[fallen leaf]

But it’s same rules and conditions I think

[coarse berry]

2021 rain was worse

[heady sonnet]

Do you remember watching this when you were 10? 😀

[coarse berry]

Way worse, the delay was accumulated and we have to wait almost 2h

[mighty loom]

Who watching spa

[fallen leaf]

Yes I do 🤩

[mighty loom]

Grind pri

[crude kiln]

No they aren't. Mixed conditions can be. But straight up rain races usually means us watching the cars sit in the pitlane and then few overtakes when they are racing.

[heady sonnet]

Right 😀

[coarse berry]

Well you have a point, im not telling pure rain but mixed like Silverstone

[fresh pier]

When do you guys expect the delay to end?

[heady sonnet]

Probably around 4

[fresh pier]

Minutes?

[heady sonnet]

16:00

[fresh pier]

That's quite long

[fallen leaf]

Has the 3 hour race limit started? Or is it 2 hour limit

[heady sonnet]

[fresh pier]

[hybrid crag]

[fresh pier]

Are you at the Spa?

[low ravine]

40 mins delay ?

[fresh pier]

[solid grove]

[coarse berry]

What time is it now?

[heady sonnet]

[hybrid crag]

[coarse berry]

[vocal gate]

WHEN TF IS THE RACE GONNA START

[jaunty cave]

Typical belgium, dry for 3 months and now it rains like crazy

[jaunty cave]

visibility is horrible at Spa, and you don't want to risk a Hubert accident

[proper jolt]

The problem is eau rogue and the hill section

[vocal gate]

ugh then why do they keep yapping about how safe the new f1s are

[proper jolt]

Cuz it's very fast and snappy on dry conditions

[vocal gate]

just send them out

[proper jolt]

Because cars also cost money

[jaunty cave]

It will stop raining in 30 minutes

[proper jolt]

Why would you intentionally let cars go out knowing it'll be a bowling alley 😩

[vocal gate]

[ebon marten]

[celest ledge]

[coarse berry]

They will extend the race time

[proper jolt]

I don't think they can extend the allocated race time like that

[ebon marten]

Yeah they can't

[fresh pier]

I'm watching F1 race live for the first time today, and looking at the current situation, I think it'll be the first live I'll never forget
