[iron stag]

I only want wet start of race ngl. Wet start = no slipstream in kemel = Max win

[lime yoke]

george isnt gonna put up much of a fight against ham

[crude kiln]

At the same time easier to overtake if dry - Spa usually has the most overtakes on the calendar - Norris starts 15th 👀 Would be cool to see him do a comeback! And easier if dry.

[indigo slate]

Perez in wall on lap to grid

[crude kiln]

Yeah just saw that. Rain and Perez crashed on warm up..

[lime yoke]

oof perez out

[opal galleon]

what happend to perez

lol

[crude kiln]

Zzz... and might not even be a standing start...

[long hound]

Because he can't 😐

Rip perez

[lime yoke]

its in the contract

[long hound]

CRY

Yes

No soft tyres for this week😂

Yes but rn it's even worse

Idk I'm scared about mazepin and tsunoda

The race will be postponed remember this

[opal galleon]

The one time I cant watch is the time where things happens -.-

[knotty cipher]

[opal galleon]

Ye, good idea but all the hype is then gone D:

[fresh acorn]

if postponed can per back to race?

[opal galleon]

how big was that crash?

yer

mhm

Its ok I can imagine how it is

[long hound]

Mazepin for the lead at the 1st corrner

I swear at least 4 drivers will go out at the start

[long hound]

This guy🤣

[long hound]

Will start even more late in these conditions I would be scared going out of the house not racing 😭🤣

[long hound]

Holly...

[slate thistle]

Howmany DNF we betting today? I say at least 4 😉

[long hound]

Going to blame hamilton I guess?

[long hound]

4 at the 1st lap you mean?

[jaunty cave]

To blame hamilton for everything is always .....
....RIGHT! 😉

[opal galleon]

ooofff

has it started?

[fresh acorn]

no

[long hound]

Ofc

Impossibile to race at this conditions

[indigo slate]

Easy for verstappen to say it’s not bad when he’s up front. He’s ready to race lol

[opal galleon]

when is it going to start

?

[indigo slate]

No call made yet. But they said 2 hour countdown hasn’t started since race officially hasn’t started

[long hound]

He was going to spin somewhere btw

[long hound]

In 15 min will start raining even more said the commentary

[opal galleon]

ty

[long hound]

So probably not in the next 40 min

[opal galleon]

wow

is the rain that bad damn

[long hound]

They will wait 30 min or 1H

Maybe even 3

2*

If will rain again they will not race today

They will start tomorrow

If they will cancel it

[snow prairie]

I dont even think we will race today.

[long hound]

Probably

Perez hit the wall f1 posted the comments

mErCeDeS lUcK😹😹😹

[fresh acorn]

[latent seal]

I need a race today😫

[long hound]

Dunno

[long hound]

[latent seal]

Yep

But it's possible to race on Monday?

[long hound]

Yes

[latent seal]

Ok

[stuck fulcrum]

can PER stop embarrassing himself for once ?

[long hound]

Now

The race have to finish at 6:00

If not will be postponed

Perez can come back

[stuck fulcrum]

PER should consider taking a sabbatical year

[indigo slate]

Red Bull definitely making case to fia for him to come back

[short cave]

Can Perez start again?

[long hound]

Yes fia give him permission

[latent seal]

After start can be red flags again😂

[short cave]

Start from pit lane or his qualifying spot?

[long hound]

Ofc if someone crash

[long hound]

Start from the pit

[short cave]

Ok

Later tmr rain again 😝

[long hound]

Rip perez they didn't allow him to start again the race

So dns for perez official

Waterpools in the track

[indigo slate]

Stewards just said Perez can start from pit lane if car gets fixed. Also a timed race with a 3 hour race window starting when they began behind safety car

[long hound]

Rip race for today

[compact veldt]

imagine if there is a monday race

[stuck fulcrum]

nah race officially started and has to finish at 18h00

we will see 1/2 laps behind SC then half points assigned

[compact veldt]

yh the 3 hour counter started

[fresh acorn]

per can back??????? GD!!

playing mobile

[compact veldt]

lol

sergio can start from the pitlane

probably behind kimi

[stuck fulcrum]

so the race started at 15h, but PER whose car was not ready at 15h can start

CLOWNS

nobody knows

[ruby seal]

what do u think?

[stuck fulcrum]

maaybe 1/2 laps behind SC, red flag, race over

no idea

[ruby seal]

hmm

[ruby seal]

who is ur fav driver?

[stuck fulcrum]

I am Ferrari fan, son LEC/SAI, but VER is impressive (or PER is really bad)

[slow yew]

Hey uh why the race havent start?

Just askin

[crude kiln]

Rain

[slow yew]

Heavy?

[crude kiln]

Nah

[ruby seal]

i am a mclaren fan NOR/RIC n my fav driver is ric bobby

[stuck fulcrum]

I loved RIC at RB, now he's really struggling

[ruby seal]

yeah but he impressed at qualiffying

i think its a podium

lewis n russel dont get very fast starts but ric does so i think at turn 1 he will be P2

[stuck fulcrum]

I think it's going to be a rolling start

[ruby seal]

hmm maybe

behind the SC

[broken quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/indian-squaw-dancing-indian-dance-magic-dance-gif-20859853

[hearty anvil]

Maylander wins the Belgian GP 😂

[opal galleon]

D; it might not be Belgium GP

We have Zandavort coming week too D:

[hearty anvil]

I guess if we hadn't Zandvoort next week they could delay the race to tomorrow

[opal galleon]

yes

[long hound]

Safety car won

[opal galleon]

There is nothing to be excited for either way on Zandvort expect for Lewis Hamilton booing by dutch people

[hearty anvil]

Yeah he drives the SC haha

[long hound]

Oh my bad I didn't know😂

Now it's official that the race is postponed?

[opal galleon]

Toto on the call 😄

[hearty anvil]

But this is the first Dutch GP in years. I don't know the track tbh

Just from playing F1 Clash lol

[opal galleon]

It used to be a bad track

Thats one of the reason why they stopped using it

Now that the layout got some upgrades it might be Formula 1 worthy

[long hound]

When was the last race at the Netherland gp?

[hearty anvil]

The commentators said that the access to Zandvoort were awful

[opal galleon]

diffcult

[opal galleon]

Dont remember but I think it was pass 2010

[long hound]

Wow

F1 clash, let's add it to the game🤣

[opal galleon]

bruuh I have football to watch too = soccer

start the race......

[hearty anvil]

Nope it was 1985

[long hound]

Barcelona start in 17 min

[long hound]

Maddd

[opal galleon]

yea thats the match imma watch

[hearty anvil]

F1 is my priority hahah

[opal galleon]

Yea same

[snow prairie]

This is usually the time when a grand prix ends, so let's pretend that we had a very entertaining race where Russell managed to win.

[long hound]

Same but if the race will not restart then

[opal galleon]

@long hound It said Zandvort returns after 35 years

Damn I was not even born

[hearty anvil]

Me neither 🤣

[opal galleon]

Max was not even born god damn

[long hound]

Holland is disappointing in every sport 😂

[opal galleon]

Most of the youngsters was not even born and Lewis was just 1years old

[opal galleon]

facts

[hearty anvil]

Half of the grid wasn't born

[opal galleon]

expect Barca players dutch 😄

[long hound]

👉🦁👈

And De jong

[opal galleon]

Depay + De jong

[long hound]

I was talking in general like they are not prepared in the euros I thought they would go to the final then they lost vs cezch republic

[opal galleon]

They lost Koeman

When Koeman left they got down

[long hound]

Yeah

And vvd also

[opal galleon]

pls start the race

[long hound]

It's impossible

[opal galleon]

Nah its going to be cancelled for sure

Its just keeps raining more

[long hound]

1:10H they have to finish at 6:00Pm

[hearty anvil]

P1 Max P2 George and P3 Ricciardo

[opal galleon]

nooo

[long hound]

Sad lewis noises

[hearty anvil]

Hamilton messes up 😂

[long hound]

🥲 🥲 🥲

It rain more at this track than at every other track even mixed

[hearty anvil]

Actually I think they will start behind SC and do 2 or 3 laps to get points

[opal galleon]

imagine paying millions to fix the damage from the flods 3 months ago then not fulfilling the race

[lapis tartan]

So possible podium for russel!

[long hound]

Btw in a race you have at least to change the tyres like from supersoft to medium, does this count in rain conditions?

[hearty anvil]

Not in rain

[long hound]

Understand so you can finish the race like with 2 set of inter tyres?

[hearty anvil]

Exactly. It doesn't make any sense on wet track

[opal galleon]

?

[hearty anvil]

What's the point of changing to dry tyres if you have no grip

[long hound]

That's why I was asking

[opal galleon]

Inters provide more grip

[compact veldt]

george could get a podium

[long hound]

We can't know🤷🏻‍♂️

[compact veldt]

lets hope shall we

[compact veldt]

that means that the points will be gifted in grid order

[hearty anvil]

Imagine being a fan, paying for your ticket and dealing with terrible weather to not see a race

[opal galleon]

Wet when the track is full of water but eventually when its been like 20-40laps some spots on the track is dry but not dry enough. Inters is 30-55% wet proof. So inters is a mix of slicks and wet tyre.

[compact veldt]

so max 1st, george 2nd, lewis 3rd

[opal galleon]

They seem happy though most of the people

[hearty anvil]

I would be happy too but pissed at the same time

[opal galleon]

If I was there and I was not wet and all that I would just be happy either way.

If wet then I would be pissed

[long hound]

Yes but no😂

[long hound]

So no time left

[opal galleon]

Its closing inn to 3h mark no belgium grand prix

for sure

[hearty anvil]

This whole thing reminds of the Malaysian GP back in 2009

[opal galleon]

Yea but that race got proceed

-.-

[hearty anvil]

When Jenson won and they got half points

Yeah

And Kimi was eating an ice cream 🤣

[opal galleon]

I think Michael Masi dont have the balls to start the race since Mr.Vettel was mad yesterday

[hearty anvil]

It's better this than having an accident and a driver in hospital

Jules died in terrible conditions

They had to cancel that Japanese GP

[opal galleon]

Lauda was in the flames in a conditions like this

[hearty anvil]

I was thinking when Grosjean crashed in 2012 and it was dry

Now imagine in heavy rain

[opal galleon]

Lol

[sharp basin]

Yeah I saw that as well 😄

[opal galleon]

If I was Norris right now i would take a nap aswel

Ok the mark is gone, its 4pm UTC now which means the race should have been done now. So no Belgium Grand Prix 99% sure.

[hearty anvil]

We still have one hour left

The commentators said that the deadline was 6 pm local time

[opal galleon]

Nah but then it needs to start now, because it gotta be enough time for Podium, press conference

[hearty anvil]

No press conference needed

What are they gonna say lol

[opal galleon]

@long hound barca just scored lol 2min after start

[hearty anvil]

Let's vote Kimi driver of the day 🤣

[sharp basin]

agreed

[long hound]

Roberto 😍

[long hound]

Kimi for president 🦁

[opal galleon]

They stopped the clock for 3h limit

[hearty anvil]

That rule is totally pointless

[opal galleon]

Go mercedes ez win

[hearty anvil]

FIA are clowns

[opal galleon]

?

[hearty anvil]

They are stopping the clock using an international sports rule

[hearty anvil]

It's ridiculous this 3 hours rule

[opal galleon]

ooooooooooooooooooo

imagine not getting a refund for the ticket

[mystic aurora]

No chance.

[opal galleon]

Or those idiots that won tickets to come to Belgium to watch then no race

in their head F

[hearty anvil]

Well at least the Q was fun yesterday

[opal galleon]

couldnt watch it xD

[hearty anvil]

Watch it then hahah

[mystic aurora]

[opal galleon]

That Mercedes safety car is looking good

[mystic aurora]

Yup. Oddly nice in red.

[opal galleon]

I kinda miss silvers

[hearty anvil]

It's beautiful but I prefer the green Aston Martin

[opal galleon]

whats wrong with you -..-

[hearty anvil]

He needs to dance with Nikita rather than with the Torpedo

Hahaha

[opal galleon]

ooof

[opal galleon]

@long hound are you watching the barca match?

[long hound]

Don't remind me

[opal galleon]

why 1-1?

kik

lol

[long hound]

😢

[opal galleon]

I cant watch the laliga anymore my ISP dont have deal with Laliga channels anymore D:

[opal galleon]

no race for suree

[fresh acorn]

😴

[hearty anvil]

The SC and the trucks are Mercedes. So they win the race and extend the lead over RB 😂

FIA: the race hasn't started. Checo can join from the pit.
Also FIA: the race has started. We have until 18.00 local time

[long hound]

Depay🦁

[upbeat wedge]

Surely they can come back tomorrow morning and run a race? obviously shortens the prep time for next week

[opal galleon]

They cant

Like its hard to find people to pack everything down then up again when its not on there scedule

[hearty anvil]

I told you 🤣

[opal galleon]

oh

it does not look to bad now why not race?

[long hound]

🇼

What are the fans still doing in the stands 😑 can't they go home now that the race won't restart

😂

[hearty anvil]

It's understandable, they paid for the tickets

I would do the same tbh

[opal galleon]

I would scam other people for the ticket

oh they said race resume 18.17

[lapis tartan]

Are they racing tmrw

[opal galleon]

no

race resume 6.18pm

[indigo slate]

Restart in 10 min

@jaunty cave

[opal galleon]

yes yes yes

[flat umbra]

After 3 long hours finally

[opal galleon]

I was playing xD

Lewis already winning guys sorry

[opal galleon]

angela cullen P1 wowo

faster than champ wow

[fresh acorn]

[opal galleon]

wow

go champ go

lets gooo bois

[fresh acorn]

race 1 hr?

[opal galleon]

yes

half points 1h race

[opal galleon]

Max has so much advantage right now

He will be infront of everybody so he can see stuff, everybody behind cant see anything

[hearty anvil]

They will race behind the SC

Most likely after 2 or 3 laps red flag

[opal galleon]

Yep

No way Maz and Tsunoda dont crash

[hearty anvil]

Max would get the point for the fastest lap?

[opal galleon]

Mazepin fastest lap OOooOoo

[hearty anvil]

MazeSWIM

[opal galleon]

Red flag

!

noooo race

Too much water no race

[indigo slate]

Done

[hearty anvil]

Points?

[opal galleon]

nothing

[hearty anvil]

Ugh

[opal galleon]

D:

ok ok bye bye Belgium

I'll just think about Zandvort now

Lord

[opal galleon]

lol

[hearty anvil]

Solid race 🤣

[opal galleon]

some people has started to pack and go now

[hearty anvil]

Seb is still in the car with his helmet

[jaunty cave]

mazepin with the fastet lap

[opal galleon]

lol

[ruby seal]

Race has ended

Max wins

[opal galleon]

George podium!!!!

[opal galleon]

George = Mercedes 2022 the boy didn’t even need to race, lol

[fresh acorn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c57QaJFi5E

[long hound]

Russell podim

Whaaaaaattttt

[opal galleon]

lol

[opal galleon]

I honestly wanted them to just cancel this, this is tooo wierd

The impossible happend, Russell Podium what?

[zenith heath]

He did a brilliant q , prolly would finish p2 in real race too

[opal galleon]

Anyone know then what the standings are?

[long hound]

Give 1 point to him or I'll cry

So russell got 18 points or half?

I'm confused af

[opal galleon]

half

[long hound]

So 9

[opal galleon]

yes

[long hound]

Good

[opal galleon]

But latifi p9 so they got more points

[long hound]

Verstappen got 12.5?

[opal galleon]

yes

[long hound]

Lol imagine if he win bc of that half point 💀

[opal galleon]

Nah but Lewis still leads with alot of points

British GP Lewis extended the lead with 25 points, Verstappen 0 then, Hungary Lewis got P2 and Verstappen P9

[iron stag]

Lol. Somehow, Monaco ended up being more exciting than Spa

[iron stag]

Lewis leads with what ? 3 points

[opal galleon]

Dont know the points in my head but Lewis should be leading with lot more than just 3

[long hound]

Monaco is probably the most boring track of all time

[long hound]

2.5

[opal galleon]

I mean the track has been the same since back then

[long hound]

Now alfa have literally 0 chances of getting the 8th place

[long hound]

Fr

[iron stag]

No. Max had 30+ point lead after Austria. 25 points out in Silverstone. Then Max lead was 8 points. Lewis scored something like 18 points in Hungary to Max’s 2. So lead was 8 points. Now Max got 12.5 to Lewis’s 7.5. So, Lewis leads by 3 points. An easy margin to overcome

[long hound]

Wow did you see what lewis said

[opal galleon]

that would be 2.5

[long hound]

That guy literally deserves more respect 🙏

[iron stag]

How is it 2.5 ? 8-5 = 3 not 2.5

[long hound]

Anyway wait for f1 to annunce it I'm confused rn😂

No can't be a 2.5 because even lewis got 15 so 7.5

[iron stag]

They haven’t updated the standings on the official website. But after Hungary the standings was 195-187. A diff of 8 points. Max got 5 over Lewis. So, it’s 3 points in Lewis’s favour

[long hound]

Sainz 0.5 points😂

[iron stag]

But, Kudos to GR for that P2. Being Mr.Saturday helped him, for once

[long hound]

Goatifi still strikes again 1 point

[latent seal]

That was the best race what i ever seen 👌

[iron stag]

George strikes with 9 lol

[long hound]

His course looks like it end

[slow yew]

Hey will the legend got half?

[latent seal]

no

[opal galleon]

no

[iron stag]

Wait. racingnews365.com is telling that Max is leading by 2 points, it’s a half point race, right ?

[latent seal]

cause he did not finish in top 10

[opal galleon]

his fastest lap was no within top 10

[slow yew]

Aw man

[opal galleon]

Nah man I check you are right 3 points

I checked

[long hound]

He deserves that🙂

[iron stag]

Yeah, that website is showing the wrong stats as if a normal race had taken place

[opal galleon]

202.5pts for Lewis

199.5 Max

[iron stag]

True dat.

[opal galleon]

I didnt know the standings so I went out and checked so 3 points

[iron stag]

the big joke is RB working tirelessly to fix Checo’s car only to have no racing laps lol

[opal galleon]

Mercedes leads with 7pts damn

[opal galleon]

Its more a joke that Belgium used Millions to fix Spa after overflod then proceed with no race

[slow yew]

F1 bad opinion : mazepin onboard lap should be uploaded in the yt

[long hound]

F1 good opinion*

[long hound]

3.18 min😂😂😂

Lol did you see seb and mick playing football agains their engineers while red flag😂

[jaunty cave]

yes

[opal galleon]

Albon right now = Georgeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

George is prob enjoying this moment so much right nopw

[keen bronze]

Every hamilton/merc fan boi rn:

• Merc robed, ham robed....

Guys Hamilton was outqualified by Russell in a Williams, in a F word WILLIAMS. Just accept that. Max did what was asked to do yesterday, just do a clean lap to get pole, period. He is in one of the best car, if not the best car on the grid, whats the fuss about it? And yes, FIA is in trouble, their management this weekend was more incomprehensible since probably Imola 94.

[stuck fulcrum]

we want to see racing, not getting asleep in front of the tv

[iron stag]

Yeah. But Kudos to Russell and Norris for those incredible laps

[iron stag]

Yep. But unfortunately conditions were too treacherous for racing proper. If they had raced, we would’ve just seen more Norris

[stuck fulcrum]

should have started at 15.00

instead of zzzzzzzzzzz

or postpone to tomorrow

[long hound]

No one said that, rb fans are saying that because they want max to take 25 points get information first then talk

Max got disqualifiyed by russell in sakhir so still, and in wet conditions there is pure talent not about the car, don't forget that lewis is 36

[opal galleon]

Disqualification?

[long hound]

Keyboard mistake 😅

[iron stag]

Tf ? I’m an RB fan and honestly think that’s stupid. And I think you mean outqualified by Russell, but Russell was in a Merc that was dominant over a RB which was nowhere near this season’s power

[long hound]

Still was his 1st race +you can't push out of the limits in these conditions so basically in those conditions its like same engine for everyone

[iron stag]

Seriously Merc and RB this season are nowhere near where they were last year

[long hound]

But sill #masiout

4H waiting no race

[keen bronze]

Masi out, Seb Vet In

[iron stag]

You can’t possibly think that. Sure, Russell was on his first day in a Merc, but it’s still a Merc. And it’s not “Same engine for everyone”. Radio in Q3 clearly tells Williams turned up the engine to the max “Mode 2”

[long hound]

Ofc👑

[keen bronze]

maybe they dont use it as much due to reliability

[long hound]

Still, russell was on good mod yesterday British drivers in the wet contitions are the best

[keen bronze]

yeah, and if Russell wouldn't get it and Lando didnt crash, maybe we could have more surprises and have:

1- Max
2- Lando
3- Russell
4- Hamilton

[iron stag]

cough cough Lance Stroll, Seb Vettel, Max Verstappen, Checo Perez cough cough

[hearty anvil]

I mean, I know George deserves it but I wouldn't celebrate that

This was ridiculous. Total nonsense

[long hound]

My mate I was talking in general, lewis have the most wins in wet

[hearty anvil]

It would have been better to cancel the race

There was no race. Therefore it's ridiculous to have a podium and give points

[iron stag]

It was still his effort in Q3 which got him the podium. He had every right to celebrate his first podium

[long hound]

Lando was better than max👍

[iron stag]

The rules say 2 laps and it’s half points

[long hound]

Dunno what stroll is doing there anyway

[hearty anvil]

I know it's an unpopular opinion. Today was awful

[long hound]

Worst race oat😂

Mazeking robbed give to him that half point

[hearty anvil]

Worse than US 2005

[iron stag]

Did you not see Turkey last year ? 2 seconds over P2. 2 whole seconds. Yes, he f ed up in the race, but that was because of graining and bad pit decisions which is not related to his wet weather ability

[long hound]

Ofc pink Mercedes 😂 he still end 9th

[keen bronze]

Maybe if we had a bit more entertainment by the drivers at the pits, like they had (not shown by sky), it would not suck all the wasted time

[iron stag]

That was down to bad strategy and bad tyre management which is totally unrelated to his wet weather ability. And as you said earlier, everyone has same engines in the wet

[iron stag]

Nevertheless, great job by RB mechanics to repair the whole front chassis

[hearty anvil]

At least say straight away that there won't be a race. Lewis was clear, it's all about money

Today they gave away points

[long hound]

Still hamilton would have beat him, oh I actually forgot about turkey 2020 didn't hamilton win there starting 6th and max spin like 4 or 5 times?

[keen bronze]

yes at least give back the money to the people at the venue

[long hound]

They have to, they stayed 4h in wet to whatch the race and Nothing happend, a shame

[iron stag]

Yeah, Hamilton winning in the wet (in which he was a good driver) and in a 2020 Mercedes which is very very OP, is not really a big feat. Like there wasn’t any competition. No car on that grid came close to the Mercedes on pure pace

[keen bronze]

it was worst than the 24h of nurburgring, that its like 10h racing, 14h red flagged

[long hound]

He was and still, imo he's the goat in the rain, and overall also

[hearty anvil]

I think Jenson is the best in wet conditions

[long hound]

Canada 2011 vibes 😂

[iron stag]

I’m pretty sure, MSC would’ve won many more races and an 8th championship in 2005 if it wasn’t for FIA’s Rules which were very against Ferrari and their tyres at that time

[iron stag]

Out of the current grid, Vettel is da best, hands down

[long hound]

If we think about that, lewis without 2 dnf would have been 9 time world champion

[iron stag]

Tf ?

[long hound]

Malaysia 2016
China 2007

[iron stag]

I can get 2016, but what’s the other

[iron stag]

China was his mistake. That was a rookie mistake from a rookie

[hearty anvil]

Yeah and if it wasn't for Ferrari strategy and for Romain, Alonso would have won 4 WDC

[iron stag]

Like who goes onto the gravel on Pit entry, that’s stupid

[long hound]

Bad tyres

[keen bronze]

I know that im gonna get a bit of hate, but im gonna say it:

to me the 2008 championship should have gone to Massa.

#plsdontkillme

[iron stag]

He would’ve won 2007 as well had Dennis not had that British Bias against Alonso. In my opinion it was his worst career decision by far

[iron stag]

cough cough Alonso Crashgate cough cough

[long hound]

No lol

[iron stag]

Um, no

[hearty anvil]

Exactly. That happens in a British team with a British rookie

[iron stag]

Singapore’s crashgate was a big reason why Massa lost the championship

[hearty anvil]

He was from McLaren drivers academy

[hearty anvil]

Don't remind me Brazil 2008 😭

[iron stag]

And I can’t comprehend how Merc was biased against Rosberg the moment Hamilton entered that team. It’s kinda bizarre how a team prioritised a new McLaren driver transfer to a driver who stayed with them from the team’s founding

stop. Don’t. Poor Massa

[hearty anvil]

True. Mercedes is German and so is Nico

I know the team is based is UK but still

[iron stag]

Ye

If only Seb had gone to Merc in 2015, one can only imagine

11 time WDC

[keen bronze]

10 times world champ.... at least

[hearty anvil]

Would have been the same as with Nico. Both fighting each other

[long hound]

Is that glock🧐

[iron stag]

Assuming Rosberg still won 2016, yes

[long hound]

Ofc not😂

[keen bronze]

lets be honest, it would be deserved

[long hound]

Lewis would have won in ferrari 2017 or 18 that's a fact

[hearty anvil]

I'm not sure. Mercedes was always dominant

[long hound]

2017 and 18 ferrari was good and had the car to win the championship

[iron stag]

Vettel would’ve outperformed Rosberg in Merc, hands down

[keen bronze]

lets be honest

only legends win with the "italian shitbox" that most of the time "drives like a pig"

[iron stag]

Ferrari always lost out in the development race in second half in both those seasons to Merc. And their management was questionable

[hearty anvil]

It would have been the same. It reminds me of when Alonso was at Ferrari

[long hound]

Like lewis did😂

[keen bronze]

and still the last WDC with Ferrari is Kimi....

[hearty anvil]

He always outperformed the car and RB was just superior

[iron stag]

Yes, Germany 2018 was a disaster, but There’s equally high possibility Lewis would’ve done the same

[long hound]

I guess we'll never know🤷🏻‍♂️

[iron stag]

The RB5 wasnt that superior of a car. I think it had reliability issues

[iron stag]

He did the same at China 2007

[hearty anvil]

That was 2010? Then yes but look at the rest of the years

[iron stag]

Yep

[long hound]

So your comparing a guy at his rookie year with a 4 time world champion?

[iron stag]

All other years were dominant, but Alonso outperforming F2012 gave us the biblical 2012 season

[iron stag]

It’s just evidences of it happening, I’m in no way comparing Lewis 07 to Vettel 18

[iron stag]

Mode 2 is the new Scenario 7

[hearty anvil]

Now jokes aside. Did they really give the fastest lap award to Mazepin?

[iron stag]

The award went to him, but not the point. He wasn’t within top 10

[hearty anvil]

Ridiculous 🤣

[crude kiln]

Doubt the point would had been given regardless since they didn't even race 😅

[iron stag]

Technically he did put in the fastest lap, so see no reason why not

[iron stag]

Half a point prolly

[hearty anvil]

Behind the SC? Hahaha

[crude kiln]

Don't think they wanna encourage that if we get future scenarios like that behind an SC 😆

[iron stag]

I hope this is the first and last race that was 100% SC

I’ll go back to continuing my. FR. I only did oje round

[crude kiln]

F1 has been real anticlimactic last 3 races...

[iron stag]

Ye. I hoped for a great race, but spa woke up and chose intense rain

[hearty anvil]

Good luck man. Same here

[iron stag]

Still, somehow Monaco ended up being more exciting than Spa

[fresh acorn]

2020: Race with no fans
2021: Fans with no race

[hearty anvil]

I know this isn't the chat but... What strategy do you use for Austria?

[iron stag]

Thinking about either
A) 3s-3s-3s and 4h-5h (or)
B) 4s-5h and 4h-5h. Depends on whether I wanna use boosts or not

If I had good Quali I wouldn’t use boosts, but all changes with bad Quali

[hearty anvil]

Thanks! Copy that 😂

[sturdy moss]

4S, 3S, 2S on first driver. 6H, 3S on second

[hearty anvil]

Thank you!

[lime yoke]

Rus getting 2nd makes the race worth it

[short cave]

Ridiculous of fia to declare ver the winner

Rain aborted

2 laps behind safety car and chequered flag 🤦🏻‍♂️

[jaunty cave]

this is one interesting podium

[quiet agate]

i dont think they should've awarded full points for that race

[jaunty cave]

what do you think they should of done

[keen stump]

they didn't

they only awarded half points

[quiet agate]

thanks that helps

[stuck fulcrum]

should have awarded sprint race points, 3/2/1, this was a farce

[weak fern]

I don't understand why you are mad about points, there is clear rule about that

If you don't race at least 75% of the race distance you get half points

[stuck fulcrum]

what was the point of starting a race with 25 min delay when they clearly expected more rain

either you start at 15h or you cancel it

safety car 0 laps to verify the track

yet they allowed Q3 in a weather shitstorm with drivers calling red flag

CLOWNS

[weak fern]

Because the weather forecast is not 100% accurate and they tried to have a race

For the people that paid to see a race

Would have you preferred waiting a few hours and get a race or get cancelled at 15 and have race conditions at 16?

Of course they waited as long as possible

They would have been more clowns if that happend

This solution was the least bad option

[lime yoke]

they should just set all the races at the middle east or race during the summer season in some asian countries if they cant handle wet races

[jaunty cave]

Lullu wasnt able to pass rus. Shows again that he is just a random driver.

[zenith heath]

Yeah - mimmi hamilton wont win this season

[jaunty cave]

for an hour tho

[weak fern]

I could have waited even 3 hours to view max and Lewis battle on the rain at spa

And even more if I had to wait on the rain at the track

[jaunty cave]

but George Russell in second tho

[weak fern]

Yeah but realistically he wouldn't last long in p2

[jaunty cave]

ya, tho I wish he had pole position

[weak fern]

More so if he wants a seat at Mercedes for next year

[lime yoke]

williams has pace in the rain but he will let hamilton pass because contracts

no ones passing anyone though in that visibility

[weak fern]

For 1 lap yes, for a stint not sure

Russel said they had the 17th fastest car

[lime yoke]

remember williams was about to overtake a merc in imola

[weak fern]

Yeah and Ferrari was first in Monaco, so?

It's another track, different conditions, tire degradation and setup

[lime yoke]

williams was on a full wet weather setup

[weak fern]

And more then everything it was bottas 😂

[iron stag]

Bottas in wet conditions is worse than any other driver on the grid, fight me

[lime yoke]

bottas on wet weather has saved merc

[weak fern]

I'll fight with you 😂

[iron stag]

Lol

[weak fern]

Turkey last year?

[lime yoke]

imola this year and hungary

[weak fern]

Crashing is not good 😅

Bottas spinned 3 times during turkey last year in rain

[lime yoke]

imola- bottas doesnt crash, lewis doesnt get his safety car.

hungary- bottas doesnt go bowling, rbr would have some good points and his 3rd place rival wont have retired

[weak fern]

Yeah but Merc being lucky doesn't mean that bottas is good on wet 😅

[lime yoke]

still getting better results #blessed

[weak fern]

#rigged

[long hound]

If bottas is bad in wet that's not merc fault 🤣

[zenith heath]

Lullu only p3🥳

[heady sonnet]

Russell in a Williams beating Ham in Mercedes 😂

[zenith heath]

Yeah poor driving again by lullu

🤣

[keen bronze]

Guys, yesterday there wasn't a race, and the result came form the quali session.
To me points shouldn't have been awarded, but if FIA wanted to award point, should have give them the same amount of points that a sprint race give, being 3 points to first place, 2 points for second place and 1 point to third place?

[iron stag]

Remember : Williams are the only team to score double points at both Spa and Hungary

[iron stag]

Nah. There’s actually a rule stating half points. The sprint came just this year

[zenith heath]

Ham is still lucky having received any points. He wouldnt have finish the real race cause he had to stop to swype of the tears of his eyes beeing crying all the time " i cant see anything".

[steel nexus]

What could have been for Norris... Imagine the starting grid:
P1: Norris
P2: Verstappen
P3: Russell
P4: Hamilton

[crude kiln]

And in the last race when he was 3rd at turn one 😭

What an idiot

[slow forge]

what do u guys think of the belgian gp?

[sturdy mist]

A good "race"

[zenith heath]

Ham p10 or crashed would have been better but ok

[sturdy mist]

Better for max xD

[zenith heath]

If ham looses its better for all the world 😁

[sturdy mist]

Coym

Come on you max

Maxi

xD

Can't wait to see max win in front of the orange army

[iron stag]

Pls RB 1-2. Hope for Checo good Quali performance

But overtakes at Zandvoort will be rad with the banking and stuff

[long hound]

Rent free

[stuck fulcrum]

nobody likes HAM or MER, even HAM doesn't like HAM

and most of all nobody likes these narrow tracks where overtaking is impossible, let's hope for mild rain

some good old crashes or mistakes

[zenith heath]

Mistakes & crashes from ham without personal damages are always welcome 😁

[stuck fulcrum]

yup, some off track excursions or spins

[lime yoke]

I just want Max to win zandvoort then Sainz winning monza after max and ham collide with other

[sharp basin]

or Leclerc or Gio win at Monza

OR KIMI

[grave adder]

Or Russel or latifi or stroll.........

[sharp basin]

I meant LEC, GIO and RAI for italy (alfa is italian, ferrari is italian)

[iron stag]

Antonio is Italian

I think he got his first points there

[iron stag]

I’m pretty sure overtaking opportunities are there here, in the banking, into t1, most places where you can pass in the games

[stuck fulcrum]

like kemmel straight ? 🙂

you can overtake in the middle of parabolica though

[iron stag]

Pls no rain at Zandvoort lol

[stuck fulcrum]

or in the middle of Ascari

[iron stag]

Aren’t we talking about Zandvoort ?

[stuck fulcrum]

you said where you can pass in the games, I am quoting overtaking spots in real F1 where in the game you can't overtake

and viceversa

[fresh acorn]

[dark imp]

yes

[merry jolt]

What does fia mean

[zenith heath]

Familton is awfull

[dark imp]

max is pog

[dark imp]

yea

[opal galleon]

Kimi retire at Italian GP? Is that true?

[iron stag]

He will announce his retirement

[opal galleon]

So? George = Mercedes 2022, Bottas = Alfa 2022, Albon/De Vries = Williams 2022?

[iron stag]

Seems so

[iron stag]

Ngl, Illot may even be the teammate of Bottas as he posted an Instagram pic (him in Alfa Romeo team merch) with the caption ‘After such a disappointing race, I’ve got some announcement for you guys’ or something for those lines

[summer otter]

I hope that Giovi stays in F1, he’s very underrated and unlucky

[knotty musk]

https://youtu.be/5fnIJXlIo44

[west mica]

Where did you hear that?

[iron stag]

News outlets

[ruby seal]

RUSSELL IS JOINING MERCEDES

ITS CONFIRMED

CUZ BOTTAS HAS SIGNED A DEAL WITH ALPHA ROMEO

[long hound]

Alpha😭🤣

[grave adder]

1st source?
2nd its Alfa.

[weak fern]

Until Kimi announces retirement, nobody will say anything

[agile imp]

what

wheres the proof

[summer otter]

It’s not confirmed at all

[zenith heath]

Now the teams are confirmed
This year drivers got choosen to get about same lvl of driver & car
Vet / msc go merc
Max / lec red bull
Bot / maz alfa
Ham / tsu new fiat team

🤣

[zenith heath]

But now serious. Rus to merc, bot to alfa

[weak fern]

I've seen so many bs on Instagram that now I will believe only an official news from F1 app

[zenith heath]

German moto press already saying it

[weak fern]

Yeah I've been earing that weeks ago that's why until I see a Mercedes post or official source I'm not bothering

I'm not saying it's impossible, just annoyed by everyone saying that without proof

[crude kiln]

Feels more and more obvious it will be RUS to Merc. Toto and Merc very kind tho in wanting to find a new seat for Bottas before. Sth we don't see every day in this sport. More like the opposite 😆

But Bottas to Romeo feels a bit weird to me since he has no ties to Ferrari who have their own drivers one think they'd like to promote. Well well, hope we get to know for sure soon!

[mystic aurora]

If we follow the pundits they're also mentioning ALB to Williams...
So much banter during "silly season".

[crude kiln]

@mystic aurora Both of those feel quite ilogical 😅 But suppose if they pay enough everything is possible. Just wonder why Merc would be doing that for BOT. Feels like out of sentimental reasons if so, which is also odd.

[mystic aurora]

Yup. Its all suspect indeed. BOT doesn't bring much money to the table, which possible isn't helping.

[crude kiln]

And that's what makes it even more suspect since as I said Merc must be paying for Bottas if so 😅 Bottas to Williams or Aston Martin would had made sense tho.

[mystic aurora]

Id agree too if they had wanted to keep him. I think their interest to find him a seat is only a way to thank him for the years he's put in which helped with the CC.

[crude kiln]

Exactly.

[iron stag]

Tbf, last year was a true silly season

KIMI. ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT ON INSTAGRAM

[iron stag]

Yep

No more Kimi high levels on next year’s grid. I hope he has a good personal life from here on

[opal galleon]

I mean Bottas to Alfa possible or Williams. And Albon to return also possible. We are going to miss a 40+ driver but he gives more room to other people. I am excited whats going to happen next.

[iron stag]

Like Kimi is a very good driver. Still is. Only if he is given a competitive car, he would win many races

[river heron]

Why would albon even come back? His dtm career is promising atm

[long hound]

😭

[long hound]

Because he like to be last in f1 than 1st in dtm😂🤣😭

[river heron]

I mean he’d rather be winning and enjoying himself than be treated like he’s just there to fill a seat because golden boy max

[opal galleon]

So true

[long hound]

He's going to williams or Alfa not redbull that don't know what respect means

[iron stag]

Are you sure about that ?

[long hound]

Yes

[opal galleon]

Here is the thing guys, Bottas and George ofc one of them at Mercedes. Then Alfa needs a Driver either Bottas, Albon or Callum. Williams Bottas, Albon or De vries

[long hound]

Rip

[river heron]

Tbh it could be worse, he could go to haas

[long hound]

Bottas better than all of them

[iron stag]

Albon was underperforming as hell while he was in RB. Red Bull were essentially a one horse race with Max against Lewis and Bottas. Look at how Bahrain 2021 turned out. Albon was underperforming and got the basic respect of a driver. Not the golden boy treatment

[opal galleon]

Not respect but they dont know how to take good decisions. Like 2019 albon and 2020 albon is a whole season combined. Gasly didnt even get second year to improve on mistakes.

[river heron]

No ghasly got dropped mid season like that’s just pure disrespect

[iron stag]

They were bad at decision making. Like 2021 was arguably the best decision they made after promoting Max

[long hound]

Man they literally let them down, let drivers go in the half of the year only rb can do that

[iron stag]

Again, are you sure about that ?

[long hound]

I said it so yes

[iron stag]

Michael Schumacher got in because he was swapped mid season. Renault did a mid season swap with Sainz and Palmer if you want a more recent example

[opal galleon]

You're argument is a bit relevant because last year RB car was not so competitive as now. Now it so competitive that it can take P1, Last year the best you guys could do was P2. So not really a fair compassion to albon.

[opal galleon]

Yea excatly

[long hound]

My g why should I care about sainz and palmer *, +schumacher retired he didn't left

[iron stag]

Yeah. But like he couldn’t reach Q3 many races and was solidly last in Russia

[opal galleon]

So youre saying every driver has the same talent and therfore since a 7times world champ did it in the past some rookies in 20s can match that kind of level?

[long hound]

And if he doesn't 1 bad race then let swap him in the mid season?

[iron stag]

I’m not telling that. He said only RB did mid season swaps and I gave other examples. That’s it.

[iron stag]

I’m talking about Albon here

[long hound]

They just don't want to touch max their golden boy they even left Ric go

[opal galleon]

But the car was not on point like this year. Albon pushed that car so many times always complaining about the car. And he often crashed it and lost control. I mean what more could he have done when it was so undriveable for him.

[long hound]

And I'm taking about the same think

[opal galleon]

Understandable

I think Albon should atleast be at Alphatauri 1-2 year before they got him into A team. Like guys imagine if the same thing happend to Tsunoda look at him now? And Albon was the same in Alphatauri.

ok its F1 lets say atleast 1 year

[long hound]

Albon and Gasly duo will be fire 🔥

[iron stag]

Like yeah, I would say Albon was promoted too early

[opal galleon]

I completely think they both are better than Tsunoda and they both should gotten more time. Like since Max came they expected all drivers to match that kind of level right away. Remember that they got it now because Checo has atleast 10years of experience, Daniel was in the team couple of years too. And look at Gasly and Albon just months or 1 year?

[long hound]

Still deserve more than kick him

[long hound]

Tsunoda since now is really disappointing

[opal galleon]

he is not kicked he is a reserve driver

[long hound]

I mean that year they replaced him so fast

[opal galleon]

Pls dont say kicked, it means youre not part of the team or you dont have a job anymore. He has a contract with Red Bull and he is Reserve driver and drivers for Red Bull in DTM.

[long hound]

Yeah your right

[opal galleon]

Its complicated I get it, English....

[long hound]

Yeah 😂😅

[opal galleon]

I was born with English and even I cant speak or write. Or say the right words so completely understandable mate.

[iron stag]

Yeah, there was no way Max would’ve even had a chance of competing for the title had Albon been in the second seat. Take

Baku - Max crashes out, Lewis wins 25 point lead
France - Merc would’ve pulled another Spain and boom, 32 point lead
Austria and Styria - you could argue Max would’ve won those anyway - 18 point lead for HAM
Silverstone - more 25 points, 43 point lead for Ham

Like it would’ve been a very very bad “fight” for RB

[opal galleon]

But all these comparasson is this year. The car this year is so good that its actually managing to win. Like the best you guys could do last year was Max P2 splitting mercedes. Also the RB16B got upgrades, who knows Mercedes got massive nerf too this season with 10% less downforce. The RB16B got high rake wings too that helped alot so? Idk mate its hard.

[iron stag]

Like the main reason Merc couldn’t pull a Spain at France was because Checo was there. Had Merc pit for a second time, they would have had to fight for position with Checo who had relatively Fresh hard tyres too. Had Albon been there, his poor tyre management (seen in Spain 2020) would’ve given Merc all the chance to pull that

[iron stag]

It’s still viable conditions to compare. A Car getting an upgrade doesn’t magically make you faster. Or give you better tyre management

[opal galleon]

I saw Mercedes race debrief Video. And They talked and planned to have 2 stop on the morning. But the team had other ideas. Both Hamilton and Bottas were mad after that they didnt listen to them. Checo I think had a impact on the strategy but I dont by that much. In the video they were talking about some agreement and disagreement.

[crude kiln]

Not so sure about that since he didn't win a race for years after his return to Ferrari. Won one at the end I think. He broke a record in consecutive podiums without getting a win, while his teammate Vettel got several in the same car during that time.

[iron stag]

Ye, but Vettel was much younger compared to Kimi. And you could argue that Kimi, while not being the old beast, is a solid midfield driver

[crude kiln]

Still Vettel showed you could win in that car and Kimi didn't, so that makes me doubt he would win races in a more competitive car since he didn't in Ferrari. Maybe if he had been in a Merc last season with Bottas he could had won one too. Since these cars were introduced 2014 he hasn't been the same. Actually watched a race from 2013 a few weeks ago and then he was great.

He's done some mistakes lately that made it feel like he should hang his helmet up. Like the crash with Vettel. And he did sth 1-2 races ago. Crashed in pitlane? He did sth that was unacceptable but forgot what it was now 😅

That said I will miss Kimi too! Also liked lately how well he and Gio seem to get along. Kimi always so happy in videos with Gio 😅

[iron stag]

Yeah, now he’s just getting too old

[crude kiln]

Yup. Wonder how long Alonso can last..

[opal galleon]

Alonso: Hold My beer

[iron stag]

Alonso never ages

[opal galleon]

excalty

[iron stag]

The man looks mostly like his Ferrari days ngl

[opal galleon]

hehe

[worldly pond]

The dominoes will start to fall now. Bottas will be confirmed at Alfa and Russell will be confirmed as Mercedes for next season.

[hearty anvil]

Kimi could have won 2 more WDC in 03 and 05 WDC if it wasn't for McLaren's poor reliability

In 2005 McLaren clearly had the fastest car but they weren't consistent

For example in Nurburgring

[keen bronze]

Guys, now how can I justify my mood if no one never saw who the hell Kimi Raikkonen has on track?

[jaunty cave]

Why does ham not retire? Would be a wonderful news

[iron stag]

He will prolly retire in 23, after his newly signed contract expires

[summer otter]

Probably yes

[grave adder]

Hopefully

[opal galleon]

Why so negative? He is obviously still very hungry and shows that he still wins so.

[zenith heath]

He has still the best car & a poor teammate - thats all

[iron stag]

#RosbergReturnPls

Nico is commentating for the Dutch GP. Hopefully, it’s a good one

[weak fern]

We need to pray for no rain

[iron stag]

Yep

[weak fern]

They already forecasted rain on sunday

Hopefully less intense and hoping the banks drain rain better than spa

[grave adder]

Its not about driving skills or hunger its about what kind of person he is.

[opal galleon]

Don’t understand why people care so much about his personality. It’s not like you are the one that determine how he lives and how he is. Is he a bad person so be it, but don’t make it sound like it’s a right way to live or be.

[crude kiln]

I think it's like that for many who watch sports. If they don't like the person they don't like the athlete. I'm like that. Liverpool always been my team in England but I didn't like Sterling when he played there since to me he seemed like an a**. Same in F1.

[zenith heath]

You can be a good one in your sport you do. But you only will get a real sportsman if you got manners & sportmen behaviour.

[opal galleon]

Ok? But again you are not mr.Hamilton. If he wants to be like, be a jerk, unsportsmanlike like that so be it. Like every human has their rights to be as they want to be. Nobody should say he should be more like that etc. Because it does not matter. Only thing you achieve with that is anger and hate.

[heady sonnet]

It’s the same in other sports also as they said above - especially in individual sports it’s hard to separate the athlete from the person itself.

[grave adder]

Noone said that buddy.

[opal galleon]

People rather wants Hamilton to retire, I found that a bit negative. Which shows that people care and complain about him all the time. Now I am not defending anyone. I just speak out what I see. Either if he is not sportsmanlike, respectful, politic don’t matter. You saying noone said that when, people type it in that way.

[grave adder]

Dude. You are way too off. We were saying how he behaves not how he SHOULD behave big diff.

And if you see that there than you are wrong.

[light halo]

👍 💯

Hello y'all im new so sorry if im slow

[opal galleon]

wow I love Zandvort they actually look fast

[stuck fulcrum]

my house corridor is wider and 2 ppl don't fit in

[crude kiln]

Will be a boring race since you can't overtake. Q might be fun tho if they can avoid too much traffic.

[opal galleon]

wait no overtake? what cause it?

[latent basin]

Massive issue with a lot of the old tracks, the aero disruption off the back of modern F1 cars means you can't get close enough to pass. Would rather F1 had a shorter season than have to cram races in on unsuitable circuits

[crude kiln]

I feel like they prioritize location over entertaining tracks, which is understandable from an economical perspective. But for us who don't travel to watch live it becomes more boring 😅 Feels like basically all new tracks they added last few years have been harder to overtake on, while others that had great racing was scrapped. And doesn't make it better when both China & Spa which are 2 overtaking tracks didn't come to be this season.

And I still miss Malaysia.

[iron stag]

Like the China back straight and Spa’s Kemmel straight are high overtake zones, but we couldn’t see both due to various reasons. Hopefully, Turkey has some rain like last year to spice things up

[crude kiln]

Spa tends to have the most overtakes on the calendar so I was really excited for that race. And now this weekend starts with Vettel's car causing a red flag 2/3 of the session. And races before that Merc took out all competitors physically.

So can't say F1 has been great lately 😅

[iron stag]

Hungary was fun even if Merc took out half the grid ngl

Pray for RB 1-2. And it’s also only FP1. The real Quali pace can be seen in FP3 or atleast FP2

[crude kiln]

Both yes and no imo. Even tho I'm happy for Ocon I'm no fan of fluke wins cuz of chaos, and would rather had seen Lando & co make it out of turn 1.

I pray for a clean race with surprisingly many overtakes after expecting like zero 😆

[opal galleon]

I want red flags 😄

[lime yoke]

why lose power in fp2 not in the race

[iron stag]

Is that Button talking ?

[opal galleon]

¨mhm`? I am starting to think there is something with those mercedes engines

[iron stag]

Yeah. First Seb and Now Ham. A bit sus ngl

[heady sonnet]

I bet he’ll be celebrating now again. Oh wait, karma

[lime yoke]

https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/92657/red-bull-has-filed-a-complaint-with-the-fia-over-mercedes-new-trick.html

[opal galleon]

didnt williams get some problems too earlier this season

[iron stag]

I think Baku

[opal galleon]

Mhm look who is here

[crude kiln]

Zzz.. 3rd red flags in 1,5 sessions.

[long hound]

What happend with lewis?

Engine failure or crash?

[opal galleon]

none of it

[long hound]

So what? 😅

[opal galleon]

The engine just stop, but Mercedes said there was no broken components within the engine. So it might just be something or actually broken component.

[long hound]

Oh ok

[lime yoke]

lewis literally sandbagged

[weak fern]

So 2 Mercedes engines stopped in 2 sessions, Good 😂

[heady sonnet]

Now give 1 more tomorrow in Q and 1 in the actual race.

[opal galleon]

Damn….

4 stops oooOooO

[hard isle]

De Vries and Albon are close to a formula 1 seat next year

[long hound]

Toto said there will be a empty seat at Williams so that means that russell... 😏

[hard isle]

Yeah Russell is almost sure to get a Mercedes seat while Bottas will take the seat of Kimi in AlfaRomeo
That’s what we heard a lot in France
Then Albon and De Vries will take the seat of Williams or AlfaRomeo

[fast steppe]

interesting

[heady sonnet]

De Vries and Albon at Williams would be great. Not sure Latifi will continue, even if he brings quite some money with him

Or Bottas / Albon at Alfa and De Vries / Latifi at Williams

Albon at Alfa sounds much more logical as he is driving a Ferrari after all right now 😂

Hülkenberg is a serious option for Williams too
And as 2022 is a whole new car, he could be a very good driver as he’s really good at helping building a car and testing it

[lime yoke]

Merc really waited for Perez to extend his contract

[heady sonnet]

Hulk / De Vries - Williams / Albon / Bottas - Alfa

[charred salmon]

Hello

[long hound]

Jesus crying

Latifi won't quit so yeah also another L for hulk

[stuck fulcrum]

[zenith heath]

[long hound]

Kimi tested positive for c19

Kubica in👀

[stuck fulcrum]

[stuck fulcrum]

[long hound]

[lime yoke]

Kimi rushing his retirement prob also gone in Monza

[long hound]

Giga kubica is back😎

[opal galleon]

Max to get a penalty tomorrow, FIA are talking

[crude kiln]

If it's for the red flag he has already been cleared for that.

Sainz crashed... hope they manage to fix before Q.

Feels like sth always happens to at least one of the Ferraris whenever they got pace...

[long hound]

Hard crash? Or they can make in time?

[crude kiln]

Not extremely but front ruined and back got a hit too. But doesn't look impossible managing to fix.

[summer otter]

Now I try to take a risk, in my opinion Giovinazzi goes to q3

[crude kiln]

I'll follow: Hamilton takes pole.
(He is 1,2s behind now with 20 min left on FP3 after the car issues yesterday)

[hard isle]

Q are in 2 hours right ?

[crude kiln]

Toto: "Gasly Q's 6th" 😜

Statement lap by Max finally. 0,5s faster than Bo77as in 2nd.

[summer otter]

Yes

[lime yoke]

Zandvoort about to riot if Max gets the annual red bull mechanical dnf this week

[hard isle]

Wait did they invert the board ?

Seems like a Haas team event but not bugged

[stuck fulcrum]

there's no hope

[iron stag]

This is like speed traps. So who runs least wing, best engine. Highest engine mods etc. Doesn’t really matter in a track full of twists and turns

[worldly pond]

Crofty talking about sandbagging in commentary🤣

Does he play Clash?

[iron stag]

Sandbagging was a word way before F1 Clash

[opal galleon]

[long hound]

Flyorge

[crude kiln]

Is it possible to dislike George?

[opal galleon]

Gunther is not even looking at Mazepin, he is mad

[summer otter]

The truck has a big evolution

[iron stag]

AHHHH. PEREZ AGAIN MISSING OUT BECAUSE OF QUEINING SMH

[crude kiln]

Was RB fault for sending him out too late. He didn't get to do his last lap when track was the fastest.

[opal galleon]

Rip same with vettel -.-

[summer otter]

Berlusconi yes

[opal galleon]

Facts

[iron stag]

Vettel was blocked by Mick

[opal galleon]

Saw it

[lime yoke]

Perez should just take his engine penalty this race. He aint getting anywhere anyway

[crude kiln]

Race Control said Mazepin and that they will look at it after the Q.

[jaunty cave]

Maz stops Vet & per was in another track

[iron stag]

Maybe. But Perez can possibly put in a comeback

[long hound]

😂

[lime yoke]

Its zandvoort aka dutch monaco

[opal galleon]

Mhm nobody talking about Gio and Latifi😱

[long hound]

Track evolution 🤷🏻‍♂️

[crude kiln]

Only Q1 😉

[iron stag]

He’s got many laps. Atleast 1 overtake into the banking per lap would be enough

[opal galleon]

Yea ik but they are improving OoOooo

[long hound]

Both Williams out of q1 for the 3rd time this year

[summer otter]

Gio is a great driver, he deserves a seat in f1

[long hound]

Ovvio

[lime yoke]

Gio has 0 race pace

[iron stag]

Freaking idiots. RB should’ve Sent him out earlier

[summer otter]

In Alfa fanno delle strategie pessime e lo penalizzano sempre

[long hound]

Nah, alfa literally fcked him up

[long hound]

Anche con kimi

[crude kiln]

More than the 3 Daddy's Cash, but to me he is pretty meh and I wouldn't mind if a bigger talent got his spot.

[long hound]

Q2 started

[summer otter]

Yep

[long hound]

Max and Latifi ready now

[summer otter]

this is Giovi's weekend: if he does a super race, maybe he will be there next season

Russell 1.10

[opal galleon]

I predict now, GR Q3

[long hound]

Bottas p2

Perez about to get his 4th consecutive non scoring race. He needs to hope for a red flag/yellow flah

[long hound]

[opal galleon]
