Undercut

Mediums

[supple flower]

didnt pay off unfort :( i wonder if bottas' merc suffered underbody dmg or smth

[opal galleon]

This gp is so boring nothing is happening expect for bottas

[hard isle]

I disagree

We got a tons of duels

[supple flower]

^

[jaunty cave]

They pushed him for absolutely no reason. He was never going to get 2nd. Just try to secure 3rd.

[supple flower]

the defence shown today by the drivers have been really interesting

[lime yoke]

Better than I was expecting

[hard isle]

We saw all the defense casuals don’t want to see in the game because v13 was fun and easy

[supple flower]

uh oh max losing pace? or just lewis getting faster?

[hard isle]

Let’s see the tyre management of Gasly on these Mediums, seems tough to push and finish the race on it

[opal galleon]

both

¨Max tyres dont look too good

[hard isle]

Ham should pit no ?

[opal galleon]

He should pit

[hard isle]

Why not using Softs ?

[opal galleon]

I feel like they are getting SPAINED

[hard isle]

I’m lost

[zenith heath]

Ham should burn in pits

[lime yoke]

Ham still has a free pit stop if max pits

[opal galleon]

Ham should pit though I feel like that was free pit

[lime yoke]

Ham will pit now

[hard isle]

I think Ham should have pitted earlier

[opal galleon]

Yeah same

[supple flower]

oo max box to meds eh

[opal galleon]

What the hell is james doing lol.

[hard isle]

And now I don’t understand why they use Mediums and not Softs

[supple flower]

wanted to keep max behind lewis for certain probs

[opal galleon]

soft burn too fast

[lime yoke]

Softs were trash

[opal galleon]

facts

[hard isle]

Yeah but the undercut would have saved it as well no ?

[lime yoke]

Just like softs in update 14

[opal galleon]

Can bottas make it?

[hard isle]

Ban IMUW 2021

[opaque crest]

Why did Perez pit?

[mystic aurora]

ALO podium

[zenith heath]

Ham using blackbird...2,3

[crude kiln]

Please let this happen.

[supple flower]

yeah but making lewis pit 1 lap after max would be the safer option

[jaunty cave]

Fernando podium please!

[opal galleon]

everyone tyre blow, Maz wins ;D

[supple flower]

alo plos 3rd :))) will be nice to see

[opal galleon]

DOTD?

[hard isle]

Alonso if podium

Checo if not

[opal galleon]

I'll go for Stroll or Ocon or Norris

[supple flower]

i wonder if rb will push checo to do fastest lap strat like bottas did

[mystic aurora]

Votes for Driver of the Day?

[hard isle]

Ocon maybe, Norris and Stroll did not make a lot of work…

[crude kiln]

Neither PER or BOT will since they hope their teammates will get it.

[opal galleon]

Do you guys think Bottas can make it to top10?

[hard isle]

LOVE IT ALONSO

[opaque crest]

Nah doubt it

[hard isle]

« Tell Esteban to defend like a lion »

[opal galleon]

Ocon defend

you french baguette

[mystic aurora]

Like a Lion

[supple flower]

alpine definitely looking good for points :) p5 in constructors for them?

[opal galleon]

yeee

[hard isle]

They took the advantage on Gasly

[supple flower]

checo looks like hes pushing for it alr

[hard isle]

As he’s alone to defend the Alpha Tauri team

[opal galleon]

OCON plssss defend..........

[hard isle]

Defend Ocon

[opal galleon]

If checo goes pass him easy then .............

[supple flower]

nah i think merc might make bot go fastest lap, seeing hes behind n out of the points

[opaque crest]

That was way too easy for Perez lol

[hard isle]

…

[crude kiln]

He still has 8-9s to NOR after that and then 7-8s to ALO after that

[opal galleon]

Lewis can still be fast enough to get fastest lap

[hard isle]

Ocon can’t do anything

[supple flower]

i think this will be the duel to watch 👀 checo n ocon

unless....ocon justs...

[hard isle]

Over

[supple flower]

oh im disappointed LOL

[opal galleon]

what a baguette.......

I am dissapointed.... it was much easier than I expected........

[hard isle]

He’s on Hards and has to defend against a Redbull on Mediums

[opaque crest]

15s in 9 laps?

And getting past Norris? Can't see him doing it

[supple flower]

thats true... haha but i wished there was a bit more defending actions

[opal galleon]

max still leads with 8pts if max gets that fastest right?

[hard isle]

Gasly undercut did not work at all

Sad 😢

[opal galleon]

🥓

[supple flower]

yuh

[crude kiln]

Was still a bit funny. ALO defending HAM for multiple laps and saves a win for OCO. OCO asked to return the favour and loses the position instantly 😂🙈

[hard isle]

Yeah 😅 quite tough to defend here but I agree

These tyres are screwing the race

[hard isle]

RUSSELL

[opal galleon]

omg

this track sucks

[supple flower]

norris pit ? interesting

[opal galleon]

I hope Football WC atleast aint going to be sucking as this

[zenith heath]

First good idea

[hard isle]

I don’t know who wins the unluckiest driver between Bottas and Russell

[supple flower]

poor bot n rus

[crude kiln]

Kinda disagree since it's the teams themselves who chose to go longer than recommended.

[hard isle]

I love seeing punctures in F1

[opal galleon]

omg that pit for russell

[supple flower]

so lewis only can rely on himself for fastest lap

[opaque crest]

Max will pit last lap for it

[lime yoke]

Fun race

[opaque crest]

Another puncture lol

[opal galleon]

omg

[hard isle]

Latifi too !!!

Omg

[opaque crest]

Alonso puncture last lap to ruin podium?

[mystic aurora]

No one has track data 😂

[lime yoke]

Bye pirelli

[opal galleon]

this track sucks

[supple flower]

evil lat be like: "tyres felt fine"

[hard isle]

These punctures remind me the movie « Cars », love it

[opal galleon]

Nah nah if F1 were going to race in Qatar again. Then it gotta be a F1 track not this ........... 💩

[supple flower]

true true , could it be its just more geared towards motor races that make the track somehow more uhhh rough ish?

[hard isle]

This track was very good imo

[supple flower]

rip lat, couldnt even get to pits

[opal galleon]

No, the layout is good but its not F1 serified thats the problem

the curbs, the corners, etc aint made for F1 and you see the problem with that

[lime yoke]

Still more fun than zandvoort

[opal galleon]

ofc Zandvoort was 💩

[hard isle]

I kinda disagree. The race was very good to see and with 2022 cars I’m sure it will be even better

[jolly gale]

I didn't listen what was the reason for bottas retirement?

[opal galleon]

no point to race

[lime yoke]

Saving that engine

[mystic aurora]

Heard this was orginally designed for moto gp.
Anyone else know?

[supple flower]

ferrari seem to have the p3 constructors 👀

[opal galleon]

[supple flower]

ouhh i didnt pay attention ahah thanks

[hard isle]

AlphaTauri strat was awful

[jolly gale]

Alonso new goat

[supple flower]

alpine really going strong for p5 constructors so :)))

last 2 races gonna be spicy for constructors, drivers n most overtakes award

[opal galleon]

If lewis wins again with fastest lap they are equalled.

Abu all the way

[jolly gale]

I hope Vettel gets the most overtakes

He's just one overtake behind Alonso

[lime yoke]

Heres to praying Jeddah won't be done

[jolly gale]

No champagne

sad

f i r e w o r k s

Cool

[supple flower]

i really wonder what fia will do if jeddah isnt ready like seriously weekend cancelled or which replacement track?

🐐

[jolly gale]

[supple flower]

cant wait for the alonso alpine model 👀

[jolly gale]

Forget russel we need Alonso in merc

lol

[supple flower]

good point but no races can go on either on an uncompleted track

[opaque crest]

They tweeted these earlier saying "days away from completion"

[jolly gale]

[opal galleon]

lol

i am not feeling good with that asphalt on saudi

its going to lack grip

[stuck fulcrum]

great performance from GAS

[supple flower]

more punctures? or more crashes w the barrier? 🤔

[jolly gale]

both is good

[supple flower]

tom's dream: lewis punctures n retires from race or terminal dmg into barriers in jeddah haha

[lime yoke]

Lewis car powered by george lucas

[jolly gale]

Lewis car powered by vallteri bottas

[opal galleon]

who knew that young driver could get podium

[tulip drum]

Great sportsmanship well done Lewis here comes the 9th time champ.

[stuck fulcrum]

prob one of the few drivers able to manage his tyres properly

not like GAS

that clown made me lose F1 fantasy league

[opal galleon]

9?

[opal galleon]

Lol

[tulip drum]

8th 🤣

Ver won't take this season not while Lewis is there

[opal galleon]

Relax

Again if Lewis wins next gp with fastest lap they are equal. So relax, it’s still all the way to Abu.

In other hand nothin is decided

[zenith oriole]

actualy funny it will go down to "if the ham didn't crash ver in silverstone"... ppl will be going crazy over it again 🤣

[frail osprey]

What happens if they finish the season level on points? Awarded on most wins?

[opal galleon]

Not happening

Because it gonna take both of them dnf on Abu

[frail osprey]

I know it's unlikely but if

[tulip drum]

Yeah true not decided yet

[opal galleon]

I think the one that got the most position?

Like max has 9wins and Lewis 7.

[lime yoke]

More wins

[opal galleon]

Yeah

That would be max

[opaque crest]

What happens if Lewis wins the next 2 then? Both equal on 9 wins lol

Most fastest laps? 😛

[opal galleon]

No because then Lewis wins

[frail osprey]

Wouldn't be equal points, both would need to be down the field at some point

[opal galleon]

Saudi = equal. Abu if Lewis wins he wins

[opaque crest]

Oh yeah 🤦‍♂️

[opal galleon]

Lol

[opaque crest]

Oooo Horner summoned to stewards for breaching sporting code

[frail osprey]

Maybe driver for winning team in constructors 😬

[opal galleon]

But again Saudi new circuit and Abu Dhabi redesign

[tulip drum]

Total diffirent race strategy now

[lime yoke]

max will still lead if ham wins Saudi with fastest lap

[crude kiln]

5 place grid penalty for Horner next race.

[opal galleon]

No

8pts difference ham need that win + fastest it’s equal

[frail osprey]

By the way, how f*cking bad is Bottas, always losing so many positions in lap 1, can't wait to see what Russell does next season

[tulip drum]

Big expectations for Russell next season, don't think he will provide.

[frail osprey]

He'll be a fine #2 imo, putting my British bias aside

[opal galleon]

Russell is a leader, I see him as a guy that will take controll of the other team.

Like Bottas aint a leader

Lewis is absolutley dominating both side of the garage. I dont think that would be the same when Russell comes.

Same applies for RB, no other drivers could control their side of the garage. And still Perez cant do much either.

and talent he obv already has that and has been proven many times

[opaque crest]

Max, "I never get presents from them so I expected the penalty last night."

[frail osprey]

I dont see much change for LH with Rus coming in apart from being able to rely on his team mate more. I can't see past a LH #9 with Rus coming in, it's only beneficial

[opaque crest]

It'll be interesting if Rus takes early lead in Championship what happens then

[opal galleon]

Russell is so clear that he is the LH replacment. Also LH only has 2more years.

[frail osprey]

Can't see it happening without LH having car issues. Russell would have to perform above his current ability tenfold

[opaque crest]

Horner's charge, "using words or writing that causes moral injury or loss to the FIA" 😂

FIA had their feelings hurt

[opal galleon]

That Mercedes has always been really dominated by Lewis. Only change is when Nico took responsibility and took over alot by himself. And it paid off. I wont see George giving away free wins, unless George aint that good compare to lewis.

[frail osprey]

RB have been pushing the boundaries with FIA all season tbh

[opal galleon]

well being a karen pays off

I mean Christian gets the best pratice from Gery

Geri

[frail osprey]

RB this season just coming across like a team excited to be in contention

[opal galleon]

but again I dont want to see Mercedes and RB next year

Other teams gotta step up

[crude kiln]

Merc has come off as a team that can't handle a defeat gracefully after winning 7 years in a row 😅

Merc much worse than RB this season to me. Much.

[frail osprey]

I dont think MB have been worse, but they haven't been great

But that's no relation to my RB being excited to be there comment

[opaque crest]

Hmm, dunno. IMO think they've been pretty equal in their whinginess

Neither team deserves title

[opal galleon]

Here the thing, max clearly been better than Lewis so far. Mercedes clearly been better than RB so far. Like the way they handle Checo of compared to Bottas.

[frail osprey]

RB just coming across like they feel they can throw weight around even though they have no weight to throw everyone in that garage is excited and feel its 'their' season, their petulance shows this

And that's from Horner all the way to Max imo

[opal galleon]

Yup

[opaque crest]

Horner, Helmut and Max do come across very entitled. Don't throw Checo in with them

[crude kiln]

Agree with most of this.

[opal galleon]

Yeah which means both side is equal.

[frail osprey]

Max has been unreal this season, but I dont believe the MB is clear of the RB throughout the season. I also think LH gained some lost determination last weekend with the penalties and will now show why he is clear of any other driver in these last races

[crude kiln]

You also wrote they have been pushing FIA's boundaries whole season as well. Merc has done that more. And succeded in slowing RB despite their car had previously been approved.

[opal galleon]

Here the thing Saudi new track, asphalt gonna make it less grip. Also there is almost no slow corners on Saudi. And Abu new corner so yee. It’s still all to play for.

[crude kiln]

My bet is on Lewis now. He didn't even use the OP Brazil engine today 😂 So he will dominate in Saudi. And then edge Max in last race.

Unfair if Lewis wins? Yes. But that's sports.

[opal galleon]

Yeah was it not that the engine he used in Brazil had some problems? So he used his old engine today?

[crude kiln]

Maybe. Remember he had issues in FP1 but dunno if that was Brazil engine.

[opal galleon]

I read some articles that he went for the old engine. But I didn’t read thru everything so.

[frail osprey]

We are for sure in for an exciting finish anyway, regardless of who you prefer. Max deserves title on his consistency so far, but if this determined LH brings it back and wins then you can only hold you hands up and give him credit. F1 is so much better like this, I'm sure that's one thing we can all agree on

[opal galleon]

I don’t want max to win Saudi because then the championship is pretty much done unless Max gets dnf in Abu.

[crude kiln]

I agree. But the way I work is that it annoys me in this, and in sports in general, that Max would already had secured the championship basically if his tyre hadn't blown in Baku when he was leading comfortably, and if the Mercs hadn't crashed him 2 races in a row 😅 So if Merc wins I will feel it was too dirty for my liking.

[opal galleon]

Baku was their fault and you can also argue that if Lewis saved that P2 then it would be even. If you go for that perspective also max got both of them dnf on Italy.

[opaque crest]

Only way you can call it dirty is if you genuinely believe the Mercs crashed him deliberately. Surely no one believes Ham would risk a drivers safety like that or that Bottas is skilled enough to have planned Hungary

[opal galleon]

That tyre blow on Baku is their fault, max was on the track so long despite being on the same level as stroll and he kept pushing these tyres when even strolls tyre blew up.

So it’s even

[frail osprey]

Yeah you can't blame poor strategy and decisions on luck etc

[opal galleon]

Max wouldn’t have secured the champions ship now, same applies for Lewis.

So I call it even

But max would have lead with couple of more points though

[crude kiln]

Baku wasn't their fault at all. Was some debris left on track that wasn't visible and could've been anyone. Also Lewis gained 25-0 when crashing Max in Silverstone. Max gained 0 in Monza.

So I disagree heavily.

[opal galleon]

It wouldn’t matter that much, max only lead with 2pts. If he ended up winning that race. Lewis still would have been P2. Which means Max now would still lead with more points not secured. So I disagree with that.

[opaque crest]

You could blame Max though for not knowing when to back out. Only times they haven't crashed this year is when Lewis has backed out, when they've crashed neither has

[opal galleon]

Yeah fact, he can’t expect Lewis to back off all season long. Especially when it his rival.

[opaque crest]

If Max knew when to back out, he'd have finished in Monza and Silverstone

[opal galleon]

People asking for fights and people cry about when one of them crash and be so delusional. That’s bad logic.

[crude kiln]

Add 25p to Max and remove 7p for Lewis. That's how that is. You can add some points for Lewis in Monza as well but they weren't 1st & 2nd so not 7p.

[crude kiln]

Bs.

[frail osprey]

Like last weekend when LH had to back out, again

[opaque crest]

How?

[opal galleon]

I am saying max wouldn’t secured championship by now despite 2 more races as you said on your statement. I am saying max would just lead more with couple of points.

[crude kiln]

But not expecting 2 Lewis fans to be non-biased 😜

[crude kiln]

I wrote "basically". Quite a big difference.

[frail osprey]

Everybody is bias at this stage to be fair

[opaque crest]

Me? I'm a Norris/Leclerc/Sainz/Russell fan lol.
I like Max's driving, he just needs to learn that sometimes it's better to back out and stay in race rather than crash out

[opal galleon]

You said it in a way that the championship is secured so not big of difference mate. Don’t change theme.

[crude kiln]

That crash was Lewis' fault. That's done and dusted since long. So blaming Max for that is just silly.

[crude kiln]

What?

[opaque crest]

They both could have done more to avoid it. Yes mainly Lewis' fault but if Max drove different it would have been avoided as well

Just like Lewis could have avoided Monza but mainly Max's fault

[opal galleon]

You guys can argue as much as you want at the end it’s just 2 more races to go. Also max still would have lead with just couple of extra points.

[opaque crest]

I consider it a friendly debate 😄

[crude kiln]

Oh sorry, you have sounded like a HAM fan here to me for quite a while 😅

[opal galleon]

That’s because something I notice with you is, if someone ain’t agree with you. You see them as a ham fan.

[crude kiln]

Not true 😅

[opal galleon]

So true…. Lol

[crude kiln]

Idk what Max could've done differently.

[opaque crest]

Oops, nah I used to be but he's changed this year so gone off him. Rather see drivers having fun and enjoying themselves

[opal galleon]

Either way both drivers are good 🙂

But mazepin best

[crude kiln]

Really not 😅 Just silly.

[opaque crest]

Tom's been really quiet on here lately 🤔 😂

[crude kiln]

Good 😂

[opal galleon]

Lol

[opaque crest]

All I want from this season now is equal points going into Abu Dhabi. Then whoever wins can win

And then next year we can have Mclaren and Ferrari fighting too

[crude kiln]

I won't dare to watch then 😂

[opal galleon]

Yeah that’s what I want

[opaque crest]

Red flag carnage. One gets taken out, so the other ones teammate has to take them out

[opal galleon]

Imagine both being taken out on last gp. Because both needed to fight for P1.

[opaque crest]

That would work in Max's favour, if they both DNF he wins.

[frail osprey]

One tests positive for COVID on the Thursday before final race

Then we all lose 🤣

[crude kiln]

I still believe Max has another DNF in him.. 🙈

[opal galleon]

No if Lewis wins Saudi with fastest lap then they gotta battle for P1 in Abu

[frail osprey]

Because he can be stupid, yeah

[opal galleon]

So it’s possible

[opaque crest]

Noo, no DNF's please!

He'll DNF trying to lap Mazepin on last lap on Abu Dhabi when leading by +30secs

[crude kiln]

Is it alright if I assume he is a HAM fan @opal galleon ?😅

[frail osprey]

I'm a Ham fan, I'm British 🤣 I dont hide it

But it would be very Max to DNF himself defending p2 coming out of the pits 😂

[crude kiln]

Can't disagree 100% 🙈😅

[opal galleon]

Idk🥖

[opaque crest]

He's been so good all season it would be horrible to see him screw himself like that and go backwards like that

I feel he's learnt a lot from previous mistakes but still has some in him

[frail osprey]

Ver will lose the title trying too hard to win it, his inexperience and aggressive driving will be his downfall

[opal galleon]

#🥖 #delusional

[tulip drum]

Lol this guy... if u don't drive hard against ham u won't stand a chance. If he was so inexperienced would he have stood a chance against the best driver ever?

[crude kiln]

Best car ever* 😉

[frail osprey]

That's not down to inexperience, it's because hes a great driver

[tulip drum]

Gotta love the competition

[zenith heath]

Stop talking.
Only 2 things are interesting:

1. When does ham retire?
2. How to get him to 0 pts next race?

[tulip drum]

Yeah can't count ham out man anything can happen ver can also get 0pts

[opal galleon]

i am losing my braincells

F1 is so........

I am glad I follow football too oh

[zenith heath]

At least one win per weekend 😁😁

[tawny sphinx]

Well I may not be Alonso's biggest fan, but he drove great today

[stuck fulcrum]

Alonso is a legend

too bad he did not win a WDC with Ferrari, he deserved it

if we had Alo in 2017 and 2018 we'd probably have 2 more titles

[opal galleon]

Yeah but be realistic, when was it really the last time big drivers like Alonso won anything with the reds?

[opal galleon]

What you mean? He was driving back then for Mclaren?

[stuck fulcrum]

yeah Ferrari 🙂

[opal galleon]

The truth is Ferrari needs a bit radical change from my part. How long are they going to be like that?

[stuck fulcrum]

what can you do

[zenith heath]

Got Ham DQ? Any GOOD news?

[opal galleon]

Wait 2 weeks

[zenith heath]

Lol

[opal galleon]

I feel like everything on your head is ham

[zenith heath]

Thats why i need to get him out there 🤣🤣

[opal galleon]

so go and eat some ham

🍔

[heady sonnet]

Ferrari can possibly be awesome next year

If they really spent everything on the 2022 car

[tawny sphinx]

All the way back to Schumacher

[heavy raven]

good race!

not ridiculously good but given how people were writing off the track i'd say it gave us somethin decent

Hi?

That chart ain’t particularly true, if max just wins 1 more gp and secures top 5 in Abu he wins either way.

Lewis need to win last 2 gp to become champion

Would be more fair and give chances to young stars to come back f1

My imagination is too good😁

3 would be too much imo, but I like the idea 👍
Unfortunately money takes a huge part in this sport, that’s part of it

[lusty hornet]

It’s a good idea as f2/3 have equal cars but f1 they don’t so it falls apart at the end

What you mean you couldn’t overtake on Valencia

Yo hola

[sturdy moss]

At least it had some tricky parts like the fast kinks approaching the final corner

[opal galleon]

the truth is it was trash, just that people dont remember and it was a street circuit. Even more trash.

[paper oriole]

Max Verstappen will NOT be racing at the Jeddah F1 race this weekend. This is because the race is only next weekend.

R.I.P. (Sir) Frank Williams. A good racing driver and a great team principal. Was a positive influence on the sport and gave me a team to follow in my younger years.
Sadly missed

Does anyone have advice for buying tickets for the Spanish GP? I’ve never been to a race before, is the f1 site the best place to get tickets?

[sturdy moss]

I didn’t go to Spain but I found F1 site the best option when I buy tickets for Silverstone and Spa

[cold pecan]

Tribute to frank williams

[violet grotto]

lol

[orchid aspen]

Rest in peace, Sir Frank Williams. You shall always be remembered...😥

[orchid aspen]

It isn't a site to get tickets. This is the discord server of a game licensed by the Formula1 Group. This channel is where we discuss about things related to the 2021 world championship

[jaunty cave]

You are not gonna be the smartest kid in block right.

[orchid aspen]

technicaly I am, fellow verstappen fan

[jaunty cave]

I dont thinks so.....

[orchid aspen]

lol

[heady sonnet]

The chat is about everything related to the F1 - not strictly limited to current championship. It’s a fair question and I would have done the same

[opal galleon]

Bruuh I just watched a lap for Saudi gl overtaking lol. It’s pretty much just straights.

Verstappen isnt going to clear 18 points against hamilton

its going down to the last lap in Yas Marina

[tawny lark]

It's so sad that they didn't mention Gio once, while he had a great session in p5

[opal galleon]

this is fast one

[jaunty cave]

…

[zenith heath]

Easy...

[hexed grove]

Guys who do you think will take the first position in the qualifying

[opal galleon]

Lewis

[hexed grove]

Naaaaa I think max

He has a higher top speed

Then lewis car

[opal galleon]

That mercedes is simply much faster

on this track look at the data

[hexed grove]

Maybe Mercedes has a strong car but max car has a higher top speed

[opal galleon]

That mercedes were quicker on medium than what max could have pulled off with softs.

[opal galleon]

Does not mean anything

[hexed grove]

Soft is bad on this track

[opal galleon]

¨You talk like top speed is everything its not lol

[hexed grove]

Ik

[opal galleon]

thats a big assumstion, also then you call all other teams slows then?

Almost every team used soft

[hexed grove]

Ya but they didn't score good laps 😂

[opal galleon]

I cant see how Max can be faster on this track when that mercedes is just simply faster on straight, there are no slow corners too

[supple flower]

@zenith heath this is a great track for Lewis to crash into a barrier

[opaque crest]

Some overtaking in the F2 race, might be a good sign

[heady sonnet]

Yet with hards he was pretty good. So we have to see

[opal galleon]

I know for fact that if someone crash its going to be a big one. Also I am excited for this track I always wanted a flat out track.

[zenith heath]

No need...i prefer he does it himself

[supple flower]

Actually there's quite a high chance to see a few spin outs, or barrier scraping 🤔 more contact penalities too possibly?

[opal galleon]

YUP

What I wonder about is the track limit?

[opal galleon]

does this mean grid penalty?

[mystic aurora]

Not sure mate.
No mention as of yet

[opal galleon]

I just checked on F1 offical discord they said no

[mystic aurora]

Interesting.
Suppose this is because it's not related to the PU?

[opal galleon]

I thought it was related to pU

I guess not

[hexed grove]

Max 1

See

Svally

[opal galleon]

its not quali, you asked for quli

lol

why ask about prediction when the only thing you want is to be right and that everything you say is right?

Whats the point asking for someone prediction when you want to be right 100%

thats just dumb xD

[tulip drum]

You have a prac gearbox and race gearbox so no penalty for that

[opal galleon]

I think thats most likley nothing. Meant the double yellow.

[opaque crest]

Haven't heard about gearbox, nowhere else reporting it

[opal galleon]

Its free pratice, he might get 5grid. But I do believe its more like a "fine" since its under FP.

[opaque crest]

Double waved yellow could be 5place grid penalty

[opaque crest]

Think the same but haters will say Max got 5 so Ham should too

[opal galleon]

nah

Its fair to get it under quali, but pratice?

Like its a reason its called pratice. so you can pratice not making these mistakes on race and quali so this is different.

[opaque crest]

I agree but you know if there's no penalty so many people will cry bias

[opal galleon]

This is why I do think he will get "fine" since Stewards has started with that. Instead of 5grid, its unrealistic to get 5grid due to double yellow on pratice. But I also do believe many will call it bias.

[opaque crest]

Just want these last 2 races to be free of penalties so we can have 2 close races but there's always something!

[crude kiln]

I don't see why practice should lessen then penalty and that Q should be judged harder. The rule is there for safety and drivers are just as mortal in practices as in Q's.

[opal galleon]

This is highly about if it was done on purpose or not. Or was it possible to follow the yellows or not.

When it comes to yellows it always hard to spot them for drivers. They are probably lookin if it was possible for Lewis to avoid that.

[crude kiln]

I don't think they care at all if it was on purpose or not.

[opal galleon]

it actually means alot

if it was not done on purpose, they will look at it if it was possible to avoid.

soon quali, I reckoned they are looking at something idk I didnt watch FP3 so idk?

[heady sonnet]

Double yellow is double yellow, he is summoned for two incidents even, not one

[crude kiln]

I still doubt they care. Was alot of talk about Max's pen last race as well and they still gave him the penalty. Rule break is a rule break.

[opal galleon]

some rules needs to be clarify. Looks like its not clarified enough.

some rules being followed some rules not being followed other races. They need order in the system.

[heady sonnet]

Well it’s pretty clear

Double yellow = reduce speed

Plus he pretty much blocked Mazespin at turn 8

[opal galleon]

if it was that clear it would be a penalty right away, also I am talking about the situation. Like its different scenario when you gotta slow down/not.

[crude kiln]

I haven't seen this situation so I can't say what I think personally. Not that it matters 😆 I thought it was weird giving Max a pen last race since he was 3 lightyears away when the first yellow came. But if the rules are like that they are.

[opal galleon]

I havent seen the situation myself.

[heady sonnet]

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-hamilton-summoned-to-stewards-for-alleged-yellow-flag-infringement.7nuVQxR71fNqo2j4yZ1oXR.html

There

Both of them

[opal galleon]

Maz fault lol

jk

idk i didnt watch fp3 so

[heady sonnet]

Check both, first he blocks Gasly, then he forces Mazespin out there

[opal galleon]

wait I can watch it, just tell me the time?

I got F1 TV pro i can just watch the footage rn

[crude kiln]

Sounds weird if he doesn't get a grid pen then 😅

[heady sonnet]

Ugh 😄 I don't know it, check the link above

[opal galleon]

wait what has gasly with this to do?

I am watching the footage now?

ah I see the situation now

[heady sonnet]

Against gasly - 0:07 in the clip

Against Mazespin - 1:12

[opal galleon]

So it was gasly and hammy first. From what I see hamilton messed up that he almost went outside the track himself. That meant gasly gotta go straight to avoid a collision. Lewis started driving slower then a fast Maz coming inn.

I can check drivers cam too but it was clear what I saw there idk what stewards gonna say

[heady sonnet]

Ham was on a cooldown lap, Gasly and Maze - on a flying lap 🙂 He can't just hang in there. But the Mazespin one is quite nasty

First one - okay, made a mistake, wasn't concentrating

but at turn 8 :9

[opal galleon]

That is the teams fault

they didnt say anything to him that maz was incomming

[heady sonnet]

Now imagine something like it done by any other driver 😄

[opal galleon]

well in other perspective I am sure it would be a penalty. But

but this track is so different, you do one mistake others is going to suffer on this track

[crude kiln]

Just saw the radio and Bono did tell him about MAZ. HAM said after he didn't tell him tho, but he did 😅

[opal galleon]

he did? I only watched the part where they almost crashed

[lusty hornet]

No further action

Think it’s the right decision

HAAS one was horrid but not Lewis’ fault

[opal galleon]

NO penalty

[lusty hornet]

And the flags weren’t shown to Lewis so he can’t be blamed surely ? Either blame the team or Marshals

[opal galleon]

wait

I want to see if the flags did show on his steering wheel or not

[crude kiln]

Jesus 😂 Shows how biased F1 is if he gets away with all that.

Just crazy.

[lusty hornet]

The blocking incidents aren’t just Hamilton and happened in Qatar as wel so that’s fair

The flags is the only debate imo

[opal galleon]

I cant see any yellow flags showing on his dash board

It was stated that the Panel 6 said it was double yellow. It says here that it was an accident therfore there were nothing showing on lewis car so this is fair one.

[lusty hornet]

Hahah FIA have said he didn’t have any yellow lights at all

Exactly it’s fair

[opal galleon]

Someone showed that it was yellow when it was indeed not a yellow, so this is why there were no flags showing on lewis cars

[jaunty cave]

Double standarts

[opal galleon]

from what I read on the document it was an failure.

[crude kiln]

Oh I thought he had been freed for the impedings as well, but apparently that's not decided yet. Only the yellow flag stuff was decided.

[opal galleon]

jepp

[mystic aurora]

Honda power looking strong

[opal galleon]

oooo that sparking from that RB^

[mystic aurora]

Downforce like woah

[opal galleon]

How fast do guys think they can do?

Max just pulled 1.28

[mystic aurora]

Purple purple purple 🔥

[opal galleon]

damn lewis is fast

[mystic aurora]

The walls are like Monaco.
Wild.

[crude kiln]

1 reprimand for the impeding for HAM and a fine for the team.

So he only got fined for one of the two impedings?

[opal galleon]

well I said it, dont see a reason to give out 5 grid

I was being realistic I was right lol

[crude kiln]

You and I were talking the double yellows tho 😉

[opal galleon]

true but I said its going to be a fine

[crude kiln]

Cool! But was a reprimand for HAM. But what about the 2nd impeding then?

[opal galleon]

Bottas engine stop!

[crude kiln]

Always Bottas and never Hamilton 😅

[opal galleon]

Nooo dear Bottas

[opal galleon]

Idk????

[crude kiln]

We who didn't see it shouldn't speculate too much 😅

[heady sonnet]

It’s ham

He won’t get anything 🙂

[opal galleon]

Ham like 🎴🎴

[heady sonnet]

Anyway, Bottas first with engine leak

Then misfiring and stopping engine after a swap

[opal galleon]

I am eating ham now on my pizza 🙂

[heady sonnet]

As if Mercedes are trying to throw the constructor championship

[opal galleon]

Bottas 😦

Yay Bottas coming out

[zenith oriole]

those car parks omg... this should be illegal, you either drive full whole time you on track or you get disquailified

[heady sonnet]

I thought they couldn’t slow down as Massi said

[zenith oriole]

they crying about safty druring race throwing penalties for every single overtake when someone got pushed out of driving line and they allow this lol

[heady sonnet]

Between 22-25

Yet they drive with 30kph lol

[zenith oriole]

obv they can... ver going through 6 cars that are basicaly standing still while he fly over 200 😄

track limits on track with walls... lel

[crude kiln]

Bottas clipped Kimi.. 👀

[opal galleon]

Why always him!!!!!!

!!!!!

It’s like the universe hate him

[crude kiln]

If Kimi was on a fast lap that's a sure grid pen.

[hard isle]

https://tenor.com/view/checo-sergioperez-formula1-october30thautobahnday-gif-20368074

[crude kiln]

Only like 0,5s behind Max so pretty good for being him 😜

[hard isle]

The Redbull car is made for max only, Checo is so good to manage it like he does currently

What the h. is Giovinazzi doing here btw ?

Still searching the Ricciardo car in Q3 😴 seriously his season

[crude kiln]

You mean Max who won his first race for RB? Pretty good psychic powers from RB then 😇

[hard isle]

Do not underestimate Checo

[crude kiln]

Norris went softs and barely advanced thx to that. Surprisingly poor from McLaren this season.

[hard isle]

Max VS Lewis first corner tomorrow. Will be funny 🤣

[crude kiln]

@hard isle And last weekend RIC had fuel issues with his car costing him like 1s per lap.

[hard isle]

Yeah I saw 👍

Oh Max 👀

OH MAX

Yeah…

[indigo slate]

Dam!

[hard isle]

Pushing to the limits, he tried at least

[uneven garden]

Wow

[hard isle]

Was impressing for sure

[velvet robin]

VERSTAPPEN

[opaque crest]

Pressure getting to Max?

[indigo slate]

That was a great lap!

[velvet robin]

Not pressure m

It was beautiful and he made one error

[hard isle]

He had to take risks to get the pole. He made the craziest lap possible but pushed too far

[opaque crest]

Yup, was absolutely flying but didn't quite know his limit

[hard isle]

I hope the gear box won’t be destroyed, otherwise that’s penalty

[velvet robin]

They’re saying he could have hurt his gearbox with that crash

Didn’t look too hard

[opaque crest]

Didn't look like much but if it's gearbox that'll be huge penalty

[formal kelp]

I mean he broke the rear driveshaft

How dumb

[opal galleon]

That gearbox gonna give out 5 grid

[opaque crest]

Thought gearbox was back of grid?

[opal galleon]

Depends how big the damage is

If only gearbox it shouldn’t be that big

[formal kelp]

He was up .25 sec he just needed an average last turn not the best of his life... situational awareness

[opal galleon]

It was going to be 1.26

I was sooooo sure

[stuck fulcrum]

@zenith heath 😄

[hard isle]

Max still young, very young and has plenty things to learn before reaching the world champion step imo

[opal galleon]

Toto was smiling he saw it coming

[stuck fulcrum]

why is he so stupid, good old crashstappen

[opal galleon]

Today I saw big talent coming in unfortunately he made a mistake but max is definitely a world champion

[zenith oriole]

that's why he is not a champ yet 😄 he can't handle those situations... same with crash on silverstone

[hard isle]

Not yet 🤣

[ripe peak]

Hopefully max needs a new gearbox and gets that 5 place penalty 😍

[zenith oriole]

he was so ahead in championship he could just let ham go and took 2nd place back there... would be champ already

[hard isle]

Not you Tomirek, please not you 🙏

I trust in you

[zenith heath]

?

[stuck fulcrum]

1/2 mercedes with a way superior race pace

[zenith heath]

Got Ham DQ? Any good news?

[opal galleon]

Max crashed

[stuck fulcrum]

prob VER gearbox bwoken

[tulip drum]

Man that track is scarier than Monaco

[hard isle]

Bottas is the king of all time I swear

[hard isle]

Monaco is not scary it’s sleepy 🤣

[zenith heath]

I knew...why i am still on highway

[opal galleon]

Wow mister baguette you are right there haha

[formal kelp]

Max was lock for P1 and locked up the last turn unnecessarily, just blew the championship

[zenith heath]

Perfect to not see that

💩 💩

[stuck fulcrum]

🙂

[hard isle]

Max interview now

He destroyed the mic, killed two drivers and burned 5 cars

[zenith heath]

Lets pray...lap 1 - hams motor blows away

[hard isle]

Max doing max

[hard isle]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-patrick-star-sleeping-bed-gif-7518157

[opal galleon]

If he is lucky it’s 5 grid penalty but idk we don’t know if it’s good overtaking or not

[tulip drum]

Damn max is fast

[formal kelp]

The f2 race there was a small to medium amount of overtaking

And those cars are way easier to race than the F1 car... There's.gonna be almost no overtakes, giant drs train

[opal galleon]

I don’t see how people can overtake but yeah max is talented and he needs more experience pronto

[tulip drum]

Yeah he pushes and not afraid to take risks which can be a down side

[stuck fulcrum]

priceless

[opal galleon]

It’s clear that he haven’t made enough mistakes to not make those big mistakes

So experience is key

[stuck fulcrum]

in the meantime LEC puts the tractor in p4

[opal galleon]

That can be P3 🚜

[stuck fulcrum]

let's hope 🙂

[tulip drum]

I dnt knw man this track is scary

[opal galleon]

Shush

People wanted flat out track we got that

Stop crybabying

People call this scary what about eau rouge

[formal kelp]

Lando full sending it into eau rouge in the rain was wild

[opal galleon]

Wxacly

[velvet robin]

Qualifying on Jedda was fun

[formal kelp]

Anyway with lack of tire deg and a bunch of crashes and the drs train if max has to eat a gearbox he probably just blew the world championship

[tulip drum]

Why do you always have to call names dude?

[opal galleon]

Stop crybabing this track can be good!!!

Be positive, go drink

Idk

[tulip drum]

Why don't you go to hell, you the one always going at people on this chat.

[opal galleon]

f1 is scary in general

[opal galleon]

I was not reffering to you at all lol. Idk what youre mad at.

[velvet robin]

I'm hoping the track provides good racing, provided for a very fun qualifying

[opal galleon]

Its a new one though

[velvet robin]

and question does jeddah in qualifying have the highest average speed? They were flying

i meant fun in terms of speed

i think there's like only 1 corner where they're below 100mph

and they're still like 80-100

[opal galleon]

💰

all I have to say

[rare ferry]

Nope, Crofty said it's 2nd behind Monza

[rare ferry]

Copse?

[opal galleon]

Yeah?

Eau rouge was the only example that come into my head fast

[rare ferry]

I mean you don't rlly go flat out through Eau Rouge but ok

[opal galleon]

Yeah but danger

[rare ferry]

It's not rlly dangerous

You got a huge run off area

And you go from 6-7th Gear not so quickly so...

[opal galleon]

I wouldn’t call 200km/p going up there not quick

You make one mistake you either go hard right or left

[lusty hornet]

Yes yes you do

Esp in quali

[rare ferry]

No you lift midway

Or you're literally off the track

[woeful rune]

https://tenor.com/view/fia-toto-wolff-f1-formula1-mercedes-f1-gif-23790110

reason Mercedes hired Hamilton is this

[heady sonnet]

Lots of Mercedes fans happy today

Let’s see what happens tomorrow 🙂

[hazy island]

Absolutely heartbreaking for Max

[opal galleon]

I am optimistic its unknown track we dont know what happens

[rare ferry]

I mean he kept pushing after locking up, can't say I'm disappointed or surprised

Cracking under pressure trying to put in a monster lap but who knows what happens

Maybe a flyer of a start

Or Merc walls him

[zenith oriole]

or RB call checo to wall ham 😄

[woeful rune]

Max was on a lap of Life, but you gotta play safe as well, for the balance of it. Thats what exactly Bottas and Lewis did. and clearly they have the better car for the weekend, since Checo was not showing any heat

Leglurgg did it well

looking for Safety car tomorrow

[opal galleon]

why sacrifice checo when they got a B-Team

[woeful rune]

yes! B team fundamentals

[heady sonnet]

Yuki frw!

Meanwhile b team for Mercedes means Bottas

[woeful rune]

FOr a team its not about driver championship, its about Constructors points, so Checo not gonna wall himself, rather Tsunoda do

[heady sonnet]

Honestly I hope just one thing next season

[woeful rune]

B team for Mercedes is Latifi

[heady sonnet]

Please don’t turn George into Bottas

[zenith oriole]

because non of them is in range to double kill in first corner 😄

[opal galleon]

No need for first lap when they got liek 50+ laps to do it

[zenith oriole]

ofc but they won't be together after lap 1 because HAM gonna pull 10s gap

[opal galleon]

That rb is fast

[zenith oriole]

tbh i can't wait for VER to crash the car while trying to overtake desperately on this track

imo HAM champ after tomorrow race

[opal galleon]

its not too bad if ham wins tomorrow

since he will just equal when it comes to points

[opaque crest]

If Ver crashes though its bad

Back markers could play key role tomorrow as well, easy to hold people up

[opaque crest]

Nah, RB so much quicker

[opal galleon]

any news if he got penalty or not?

that gearbox is going to be a probleM?

[opaque crest]

Not heard anything yet

[tawny sphinx]

Just seen qualifying. The speed and blind corners mean someone's gonna get hurt. Don't like it, too dangerous

[steel nexus]

If Max’s gearbox is ok, good chance for him to be P1 after turn 1

[formal kelp]

Max should just send it into turn 1 and force lewis to decide whether to wreck them both or let him go. Mutually assured destruction favors max at this point

[sturdy moss]

Not fast enough with Perez driving it

[sturdy moss]

I think at the start Merc will try and pin max to the wall with Bottas and let Lewis have a clean run into turn 1, maybe even Leclerc will profit form it

[opal galleon]

bias

[sturdy moss]

Maybe a bit, max deserves to be champion this year, if Red Bull had a 2nd driver who was quick enough it would be job done already

[opal galleon]

thats highly your opinion

I couldnt care less, I care about being realistic and I dont think thats it.

[sturdy moss]

It is all opinion otherwise we would just get bored talking about only the stuff that has happened instead of speculating a little, USA and Mexico, in my opinion RB was soo much stronger car, Perez didn’t beat Hamilton and should of

[opal galleon]

I still think we haven’t seen the raw pace of that Mercedes’.

I do believe it could have been much faster if Lewis pushed harder. But yeah he is experience compare to Max so maybe he just didn’t want to risk it.

[sturdy moss]

Yeah they somehow found something more than just a new engine in the back of it

[split ocean]

Perez was never good in quali, they brought him in for his tyre management to screw up lewis strategy cuz lewis normally overcut max.One example where perez influenced strategy was in Austin, merc likely wanted to box a few laps later but had to box to avoid being undercut by perez.

[opal galleon]

and where did you get that information from

[heady sonnet]

Any news on the gearbox ?

[short barn]

Hi

[lusty hornet]

Look it up !!

[frail osprey]

Oh

[lusty hornet]

Illegal but ok

[opaque crest]

Nothing from FIA or F1 accounts yet

[burnt hamlet]

Read that both Lewis and Max took a new one but it's fine because their old ones had done the mandatory 6 GPs before being changed out anyway.

[heady sonnet]

That was before the Q

[burnt hamlet]

Oh, well in that case 🤷‍♂️

I thought it was after 😆

[opal galleon]

They took a new gearbox under free pratice, but max might have destroyed his gearbox under Q which can mean penalty if its too damage.

[lusty hornet]

F2 crash is causing problems

Potentially aborted race

To make sure f1 is not affected

[opaque crest]

Yup, ages fixing the barrier and now looks like it's not happening at all

If this happens in F1 it'll be chaos. 2minutes ago released time to start, now they're saying aborted 🤦🏼‍♂️

[lusty hornet]

No doubt f1 will go ahead regardless

[opaque crest]

Now pit lane open again 😂

[lusty hornet]

Just some funny marshalling and safety car work. Bound to happen at a new track

[opaque crest]

F1 starts at 8:30 Saudi time regardless of anything else

[lusty hornet]

evening prayers is the reason for a later start as long as it’s all sorted by then f1 will be fine if not they will have to break then reconvene after

[opaque crest]

Started and red flagged within about 30seconds

[lusty hornet]

Yep looks bad but shouldn’t have been a high enough speed to get dangerous

Does anyone know what the barrier repairs were for? As in what caused the issues / brought them to the stewards attention

[opaque crest]

Didn't seem to be but worrying they haven't released any info about drivers involved yet

[opaque crest]

Accident in Porsche race apparently

[lusty hornet]

Thanks for this forgot about that series

[lusty hornet]

It was cleared very fast and the medical car / van was instantly there im hoping it’s more a case of they are doing things rather than talking to people

[opaque crest]

Yup, doesn't bode well that there hasn't been a clean standing start so far this weekend lol

Another red flag. F1 is going to be so stop start later, might not bother watching it live lol

[fresh acorn]

F2 RED

[opaque crest]

F2 not restarting, terrible advert for racing round Jeddah

[lusty hornet]

Ahhh no enzo in hospital with his legs

[opaque crest]

Sky just said Fittipaldi taken to hospital with injuries to his legs

72G impact for Fittipaldi 😳

[lusty hornet]

So glad he’s alive regardless of any lasting injuries which it sounds like he might avoid as well hopefully

[opaque crest]

Yep, main thing is that's he's alive and OK considering what could have been

[formal kelp]

Welp theoretically gearbox is fine, max pushed pretty hard in warmup laps

[opaque crest]

🤞🏻 for a clean start but I'm sure there's going to be crash and safety car minimum after 1st corner

[opal galleon]

yes

[opaque crest]

😮 clean start lol, much better than I thought

[opal galleon]

There is actually a lot happening!

[opaque crest]

Max is holding on to the mercs

[mystic aurora]

ALO seems to have faired best on that opening. Up 3.

[opal galleon]

I am still very optimistic

This track is really fast

[heady sonnet]

Clean start, awesome

[sturdy moss]

Happens so often

[opal galleon]

I feel like what this circuit lack is atleast 1 slow corner like Monza

[crude kiln]

Crazy that HAM hasn't had a technical DNF in 3,5 years 😱 Wonder how long that streak will last? Bottas has had his fair share to say the least 😅

[opal galleon]

Mercedes just better ig when it comes to engineering

[sturdy moss]

Are you trying to jinx him 🤣

[crude kiln]

Say that to Bottas 😂

[crude kiln]

No comment... 😆

[sturdy moss]

Valtteri it’s James…we’re going to break your car to benefit Lewis 😅

[crude kiln]

Cool track but pretty boring race so far.

[opal galleon]

Safety car

Damn that Haas is completely destroyed

[sturdy moss]

Mick!

Glad as always driver ok

[crude kiln]

Merc being dirty again 😅

[sturdy moss]

Yep

[opal galleon]

Mhm double pit?

So when does people pit again then?

[sturdy moss]

Are Merc on hards? They may not have to

Can max pull out a pit in hand?

[opal galleon]

Mercedes hards yea

I think Bottas is going to get penalty

[sturdy moss]

Can you go too slow before you catch back of safety car? There is a rule about the gap once you get in the train but before it?

[opal galleon]

I am not sure

[mystic aurora]

Think the rule applies the moment the SC is flagged, regardless of "catching up to it" per se

[heady sonnet]

Well at least they didn’t take him out

[sturdy moss]

But if the gap to ham was more than the required distance (x car lengths) to start with then you have to get there before you can be penalised

[ornate kernel]

Can de Mercedes drive the race out on does hards?

[opal galleon]

Nope

[mystic aurora]

Perhaps, but the delta time should still apply

[opal galleon]

They will suffer last 5laps

[heady sonnet]

Possibly yes

[opal galleon]

So it’s tricky maybe

[heady sonnet]

Depends on the gap

[opaque crest]

Red flag race noe

[opal galleon]

Red flag

[sturdy moss]

Delta is to stop you going too fast I thought

[crude kiln]

Max gets a free tyre change now 😂

[opaque crest]

RB in pole position

[heady sonnet]

Huh why?

What happened

[mystic aurora]

Wall needs repair

[indigo slate]

Wow!

[heady sonnet]

Lol good job!

[opaque crest]

That's just stupid, can't do safety car for 5laps then red flag it

[indigo slate]

Tide shifted

[heady sonnet]

Small win for RB

[sturdy moss]

Wow

[opal galleon]

Mhm

[opaque crest]

This is going to decide race which is ridiculous

[opal galleon]

If max wins he will be champion

[lime yoke]

MICK protecting his fathers record

[heady sonnet]

Not over yet

[opal galleon]

Lewis needs 2 wins for champion

[crude kiln]

Can't red flag instead of SC every time either. Takes a while to see if repairs are needed as well.

[gentle terrace]

I'll just lough here 😄
ALL HAM FANS, please don't forget HAM IMOLA red flag advantage

so stop crying

[jaunty cave]

Let bottas go ahead of Hamilton and then get him to do a Schumacher on Hill

[heady sonnet]

Or one DNF

[opal galleon]

Damn

[heady sonnet]

Lol at radio by Lulu

[crude kiln]

Karma for Merc for being dirty imo. But long to go still...

[ancient vigil]

Wonderful sh** how can you decide a barrier is not broken if you can see the car literally inside

[zenith oriole]

well deserved for merc for what they done with bottas lol... hope they get penalty as bonus 😄

[mystic aurora]

*Our bots are exploding folks.
Let's keep it clean *

[opal galleon]

Bots 🙂

[opaque crest]

Not a Ham fan, racing fan and think it's stupid

[jaunty cave]

I'm a Russell fan but I do hate verstappen

[gentle terrace]

yeah, surely we need another JB17 incident, right?

[opaque crest]

Practise 2 was red flagged straight away for similar incident

[crude kiln]

I'm against free tyre change under red flag. But that's how it is apparently.

[mystic aurora]

That corner is brutal.
Defo need to address the wall

[gentle terrace]

let those repair man die, cause you wanted to continue under SC

[ancient vigil]

Thats what I'm unable to understand

[opal galleon]

Well I guess Ham vs max fights plssss

[vapid quarry]

Karma

[opaque crest]

You the rule is stupid

[zenith oriole]

now we got all the cry babies radios for 10 mins 😄
