>>22135>>22136you're welcome
>spun the wheels at T1
lmao it's verstover
time for your Norris quali bottle
>2 tenths behind at first sector
its over
PS3
damn, Piastri didn't take the chance
Well, it was close.
Albon p5!
>Lando on pole, ps3 in second
>Chuck and AMX right behind
crashkino in t1?
lestappen 3-4
Isn't pole in Spa a big bait though?
>>22153If p2 uses a meme setup like max had yesterday
gimi
>>22159It's ok, they're both brazilians.
>>22160It's ok Newey will fix it
What was Bearman bitching about in Q2? I didn't catch that part
>>22163tsu hindering him going into the chicane for a lap
Apparently what yugi did is not against the rules but it voilates a gentlemans agreement not to do stuff like that on a outlap.
>>22166Has the vibes of a found footage terror movie.
>>22166Can't tell if its him.
>>22169he's the biggest one there, it has to be him
Rain status for tomorrow?
Somebody bins it and dies status for tomorrow?
>>22173>8:00 - 60% (F3 Race)>11:00 - 80% (F2 Race Finish)>14:00 - >80% (Pre-race)>17:00 - >80% (Race Window)someone is dying tomorrow, yes
probably in one of the support races and/or colapinto
>>22174Why F3 lower chance? Less speed on the cars?
>>22177>No Brazilthank fuck
>>22175I don't even know if I should wake up early for f3 and 2 with this much chance of rain.
>>22177>>22178I feel nothing about this.
Alot of sprint "races" are just glorified parade laps.
Have we had ANY good sprints?
bunch of shitters
>>22179At least you didnt lose anything for f3
>>22180Austin sprint last year was a good one.
Fkino in the rain on now
>>22185>i'm okJoking aside, the guy has been hyped up insanely hard and pushed into a top team too early.
Hes shown he can do great things with his pole and podium, but it seems like its all too much. He was even doing exams for school earlier in the season.
>>22186I talked about this in a previous thread but this gold rush for trying to find the next Max is a lost cause that's just going to ruin the career of potentially good drivers by putting them into F1 way too fucking early.
There's other categories these young kids can spend a few years driving on first before they make it to F1, even having them cook on F2 for a couple years is better then immediately putting them on track as a main driver. At least put them as a reserve first.
>>22189Yeah, yeah i know, but i still think its better then the alternative.
>Heavy showers currently 20km from the track are heading towards the Francorchamps region, expected to arrive after 14:00.
>A little further west, heavy thunderstorms are also expected to move towards the circuit area.
FIA YOU CAN STOP THIS RIGHT NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, MASI, SOMEONE
>>22191Surely THIS time we will use the Wet tires!
Right?
>>22193They were friends in F2 i think
that and Tsu is fucking his mom
inb4 rain stops before the race starts then never shows up again
>max changed his PU to a previously used one
what did they mean with this
>>22197No idea, some 4d racing move.
>>22191Yeah, this is getting red flagged. Congrats Lando for your 12.5 points.
Red flag time
Rosberg is walking all over Brundle's gridwalk
>flyover
NOOOOO THE NET ZERO PROGRAM
Belgium is not a real country.
Are we going to have a race?
Rain looks quite heavy.
>>22205my prediction: rolling start, 10 laps behind SC, red flag, everyone goes home
>>22206How many points get awarded in that scenario?
DUN DUN DUN
DUN DUN DUN
what the hell is this music
WAIT, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NEW THEME, WHERE ARE THE DUNS
>>22211Duns aren't gay enough. F1 is a gay sport. Have you seen how bad they fucked up the webpage?
>>22211its the same as the whole season no? a slight variation on previous years
>>22213no, it was a totally different theme
>>22205>>22206no, not like this.
WE NEED RAIN RACE CHAOS
LET THE SHITTERS CRASH ONLY CHADS CAN CONQUER THE RAIN
>>22215maybe a local thing? sounded the same on F1TV imo
>>22217Sky stream had another theme, apparently from the movie.
>>22217weird, it was the first time I ever heard this one with DAZN
it's usually the regular (with the slight variation you mentioned for this season)
>>22218>>22220right, that makes sense
>>22221its alright I guess, but the DUN DUN DUN is so ingrained in my mind that anything else just feels off
>starting procedure suspended
ogre
>Suspended
SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP
BOOOOO
masiiiiiiiii
welcome back 2021
Lando is a bitch and said he was too scared to race so they Red flagged it.
Time for breakfast
It's over
why don't they just make a track inside of a dome so no rain can it hit
let them do parade laps with wet tires and just refill the fuel afterwards
>"""best""" drivers in the world
The pinnacle of stalling
>circuit named "Spa"
>turn named "Eau Rouge"
>FIA starts shitting and pissing and cumming when a little water hits the track
>>22243>>22247Since we ain't starting the race yet, check this shit out

>30 to 40 min delay
>40 minute delay
oh FUCK FIA holy shit
>>22259Small local sport please understand
>NEW: Alex Dunne received a 10-second penalty after the F2 Feature Race. Arvid Lindblad has also been DSQ'd.
>This means Stanek is now the race winner, with Miyata in P2 and Browning P3.
LMAO
double audio?
>>22261Look man he is just very happy to found his son, ok?
>>22263L O L, isn't this the second time he got a penal that cost him a race too?
>>22257what did bearchild see?
>>22263Welp, I should've watched fkino
>>22265I remember Dunne got DSQd out of a P2 at Austria this year, at least
>>22269Ok thats what i was thinking then
>>22263might check out that race after this red flag ends
>>22275Jos is such a fucking loser lmao
>PT commentary just talking about Germany GP 1986 to fill air time
amazing
How long till restart? I need to fix my car and I don't want to wait forever.
>>22280Think some 15 minutes at this point, drivers aren't in the cars still.
>>22282When will Williams be cool again
F1 needs to borrow those NASCAR jet engine dryers for these situations
>>22282sexo
>>22284when BMW makes their engines
>>22287Thats a real movie? I thought it was just an edit with Vettel
>>22292What the fuck does this meean? If somebody in the lead is too far ahead they have to slowdown?
>>22292>>22294Has to be during SC no? otherwise it makes no sense
So, inters long stint -> meds long stint is the best strat, right?
>>22294>>22295the rule for distance to SC and between cars during SC, yes
Also remember, we waited 3 fucking weeks for this
>>22299420 blaze it. Let's go!
>>22300I was jonesing for it but the sprint kind of killed my interest and now I'm meh.
*slurp*
>>22302we almost have mixed conditions rn though, that usually leads to some interesting racing/strats
>>22303Chuck will die in that Ferrari before he ever switches team
>>22306Will be a reality if he gets a podium here.
>be driver
>check weather report, rain for tomorrow
>pick high downforce setup
>race day, it's raining
>FIA waits hours until it dries
>>22306now that's something
>>22307guess he's just gotta get through this decade and then it'll be worth it
>rolling start behind SC
I hate FIA so much, it's unreal
>>22312Have they made the call for a rolling start yet?
It might still be a standing start after a couple of SC laps.
The state of this
>>22312laps are already counting, they're not regrouping for a standing start
And they're racing WOW!
Motorrace soon
>>22319they're playing the game and trying to delay it more because their setups are better in dry conditions
START THIS DAMN RACE BEFORE I PISS MESELF
The best Yuki can get today is P5
>PT commentary
>"the race direction needs to stop listening to the McLaren drivers"
>"your opinion should only be valid if you have a WDC" (jokingly)

>going to the end on medjums
pressing X to doubt
>>22364the only good thing about sprint weekends is that they teams don't know the best strats.
still, unless the mediums fall right off a cliff, ps3 will be able to keep norris behind
>>22365yeah, with everyone of them (except for Norris) then everyone will manage
what a wonderful "sport"
>>22367>everyone on mediums pits and lando wins>everyone manages tyres and things stay the samepick one
Hadjar just keeps losing time, the hard is not the worth it at all
>HAM DOTD
>>22370>still babying lando over the radioWDC contender btw
rain in 5 (hours)
>>22376I've sent him an e-mail about it.
>>22377but does he check e-mails during the race?
>>22378in a race as "exciting" as this one, he probably could
Norris WDC bid momentum stopped, good
goblino got gaped today
>>22381I have no idea why they keep pushing him. He's far too weak to win.
I'm expecting some underweight cars again
>>22384I was thinking the same.
>>22386He threw that win away, even with constant coaching. Oh well, his therapist is going to buy another yacht.
>>22388PT commentary was tallying the time all his mistakes during the chase to Oscar were costing him, at least 3.5s
>>22376i put george third to make sure he wouldn't
>>22391thank you for your sacrifice
>>22393worst trophy ever?
>>22394at least it's not made out of legos
>>22399all four the same height
give and take
>>22400mercedes-amg hpp sabotage for next year
mercedes-amg petronas f1 team sabotage as torger wanted max
>>22400it finally dawned on him the weight of being a Formula One driver, his driving style is a little too aggressive as well, it's only noticeable now because he dropped to the middle of the pack and has to deal with wheel to wheel combat
>>22394>>22397My dad arrived during the podium and just saw the tv and shouted "What a piece of shit trophy" and left
also
BORT points. Why the fuck did Sauber fuck over Nico tho? He was fine without changing tires
>>22407>Bort and Bearman legit have a good chance to overtake Tsunoda on the championshipfucking wow
>>22398Norris status: gaped. Even ps3's mother knows it.
EPIC recovery drive from Sir Lewis Hamilton.
Deserved Driver of the Day.
>>22412don't bring that filth here
>hards and mediums worked roughly the same despite pilelli bringing a C1/C3/C4 lineup
bravo
Portugal anon I appreciate the work you do in these threads to bring us videos and images. Thank you.
Yeah, same feelings as the Japanon, thanks Portuga
>finally convinced someone to come over and watch F1 with me
>1+hour delay
>absolute snooze of a race
Fuck me
>>22394At least this one you can stick up your arse, Hulck got his one trophy after 15 years and its fucking legos.
On this day of a massive slurper race that had us wait a hour and a half for a rolling start:
Remember what they took from you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnxUu36-uYw
>>22424He's right. They are a bit more sensitive about spa because the elevation changes make it a bit more dangerous with blind crests.
We had a pretty good wet race in Brazil last year.
>>22425Max and Lewis were in agreement about the rain. Both Mclaren drivers were pissing themselves over a damp track.
>>22426Lewis is based every once in a while
>>22427Yea I will always state that he has an inflated ego, and was only mediocre at best, but he's not scared of rain. I wonder what grandpa Alonso really thinks of current F1.
>woke up early for the race
>sat through the delays
>fell asleep after watching some of the race
didn't even miss anything cause the top 3 didn't change while I was asleep, amazing
>>22432probably just 1, out in the summer break
damn that sucked
>>22434slow and steady keeps the pace
race week everyone
>>22440They should have hired Max to drive their shit box. Guaranteed points at least.
>>22440My hatred for Mercedes is great and i'm thankful i never have to see that team win anything important ever again
When is the last time someone in F1 got hurt? (not counting freak accidents like grosjean exploding or kwabs like ricciardo breaking his hand)
The obsession with safety is ruining the sport.
>>22443F1 is a gay sport, when you accept this everything magically makes sense. I don't know why I need to keep repeating myself.
>>22444I think being gay is manlier than F1 at this point. At least a gay man drive in the rain.
>>22443ps3 said his seat broke one of his ribs in austria last year, not a crash just something with the way his seat was that made it break while he was driving
>>22446mans got weak bones
>>22440as i keep saying
they don't know what they're doing at m*rcedes
His time will come next year
>>22451>new regs>neweyplease
>>22452I was clearly talking about Strollgod, of course.

>"When the most insightful Formula 1 reporter in Spa is a former racing driver, it says a lot about the current state of an entire profession – or rather, how dire things have become in terms of critical journalism. Especially in a paddock increasingly flooded by a phenomenon called ‘influencer’.
>And let’s be honest – if something sounds like a disease, it could certainly act like one."wtf based?
>>22448now do a statistic of sprint races before first sprint win with Ferrari, chuddies
>>22446zoomer should have drank more milk as a kid
>>22443amx semenstone 2021, it affected him in the following races and he only spoke up about it years later
>>22454I agree with the opening statement.
It's very apparent when you watch some of the local broadcasts.
Palmer and DC will occasionally throw some shade towards the FIA/F1 but it's often very light. To much pussyfooting around issues, never expressing any real opinion if it could make FIA/F1 looks bad.
I think Bossberg might be a bit to hard on Kimi though. Did he himself have the kind of mindset he proposed while he was driving for Williams? Or in his first years with Mercedes?
Seems to me like he only adapted that mindset and lifestyle when he realized the team and the car was in a league of its own and he had strong competition from Hamilton. IE he needed to adapt.
Kimi is a rookie, in a car with varying performance. His teammate is very experience, both within the team and in the sport.
>>22456I think thats mostly what he is getting at.
Everyone hypes fake gimi alot and if he can get a pole on a sprint he potential, but if he doesn't "man up" like Rosberg had to at some point, he will waste many years of his career.
I took this as Rosberg warning him to awake up about it earlier.
>>22448That looks like a banging track record. What happened to Ferrari?
>>22458Their management stupidity saw them lose alot of fucking talent behind the scenes and replacing them with mediocre people.
>>22458They hired a mediocre driver to boost their own stocks and sales.
>>22454>It’s horrible negotiating with Toto – because his tactic is to just disappear,” laughs the former Mercedes driver. “So if you’re George now trying to get hold of him, Toto’s already gone. He even knows how to avoid the blue ticks.” Apparently, no special WhatsApp settings required for the Silver Arrows’ team boss.>With a grin, Rosberg adds: “As soon as your message pops up on his screen, he’ll only read the first few words and won’t even open it properly. I remember that well from my time – it was always his style: vanish, don’t reply, be unreachable. And that’s horrible, because it gives you no chance.”Damn Toto is a cunt to his drivers, but i guess that's to be expected.
>>22456I think his comments about Kimi having too many distractions is completely fair.
He had his school buddies over in the paddock and was even still studying for exams not long ago. If he was doing great all of that could be forgiven, but he's not.
>>22463>Extremely likeable>Complete shitter that sometimes did cool moves like a double overtake>Crashed at the PERFECT moment that robbed Hamilton of his 8th titleHe will be forever the GOAT of shitters
>>22463How did this happen again? I'm guessing rain.
>>22465Rain yes, but to be fair, he did score points that race too.
>>22464I still remember him taking a wrong turn during practice lol.
>>22467that's a fucking top 3 shitter moments (in the hybrid era at least), maybe he played too much Gran Turismo, I can see myself making that mistake as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFzGcyaO_PU
>>22448GOAT is on his way to breaking another record
>>22473I wouldn't mind it if were only used in small quantities, not like in that pic. Preferably, it should be mostly silver, grey, black and white, with some details in red.
>>22476To think that guy could be running in Indycar
>>22476There's plenty to chose from
WEC (BoP sometimes dictates who'll win)
Indy (right now it's going through its own F1 2023 season)
NASCAR (the last laps are the most entertaining)
-Mexico (the ovals suck, 90% of the field are shitters)
-Canada (very small grid)
-Europe (mostly road courses)
-Brazil (I have the least info on this one)
MotoGP (Marquez/Ducati wins lol is in full force atm)
IMSA (FCY procedure is too much sometimes)
Stock Car Brasil (good racing, some tracks are too small for the amount of cars)
Sprint cars (sometimes the streams suck, otherwise entertaining)
Turismo Carretera (A LOT of sub categories, apparently the top class sucks now)
Super GT and Super Formula (I can't ever watch them live because of schedule)
WRC (same as above except for Rally Chile)
There's also GTO, Porsche Cup, Ferrari Cup and much more to explore.
>>22477I rooted for him until the end, but the debacle that made him lose the seat was embarrasing for everyone involved.
>>22476Stock Car Brasil is really good if you just want pure racing and don't care much for production values. Also alot of old BR F1 drivers are there if you care about that sorta thing too.
Recently its been expanding a bit to other LatAM countries, there were some races in Argiland and Urgay
Formula Truck is pretty funny too.
Yugi is struggling from a JAV addiction due to stress from being away from Italy, good Italian cuisine replaced by br*tish "food" and being away from his white girl gf he's supposedly dating. This is nothing about the car
You guys think Alpeen will even bother sacking Colapinto since he isn't crashing cars as often anymore?
Might as well keep him till the end of the year for the sponsors, right?
Today we vroom
>>22487If they aren't stupid they'll keep him. Any amount of money now is crucial for 2026.
https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/aston-martin-to-sell-f1-team-and-go-private/
>Just yesterday, Aston Martin issued a profit warning, blaming U.S. tariffs and China’s economic slowdown, which means the company will only just break even this year. The new forecast caused the share price to drop seven percent in a day.lol
no fernando due to injury, drugs will replace
>>22490LINE GO DOWN

you heard it here first
>Câmara can be F3 champ this weekend
Let's go.
>wet race at silverstone
>joke race at spa
>chance of rain on sunday
What would it be? Will race control back pedal on its decisions a bit if it rains again?
>>22522I actually heard on FP2 today an interesting fact from one of the BR commentators, who is a motorsport driver and such.
The big problem with FIA and Wet racing right now is a mix of 2 things.
Pirelli tires suck cock and they disintegrate with ease, so to compensate, alot of requirements were made by FIA to have less abrasive asphalt on tracks and this new mix alot of modern tracks are using is very impermeable, so the water has no actual place to escape. Before, like in Interlagos, alot of tracks had tiny holes in the asphalt that allowed for water to flow down and lower the spray.
Now with alot of tracks, the water goes nowhere and alot of fucking spray goes up which completely kills visibility, making Wets a complete joke since you can never use them on the times you are ment to use them because of this.
>>22523Why not just make a tire that doesn't suck dick. It's cheaper than resurfacing every track in the world.
stroll! surge
>>22523next year with the simplified floors maybe we can get better (smaller) spraying and wet racing is back in the menu, but I'm not holding my breathe for that
>TV direction goes to Sir Hamilton early as he's readying his lap so we can see his glorious run
>goes wide at T1 and aborts
kek
>>22525Maybe make them go and drive in the rain and they will engineer a car capable of driving in a sprinkle. It the same with wet tires. Make them drive in the rain they will be used. As of now interns are used because everyone knows they will red flag if there is any amount of water.
>Mclel tops all 3 FPs
>Max not even close
yeah I'm thinking this will be a slurper
>>22523>Pirelli tires suck cock and they disintegrate with ease, so to compensate, alot of requirements were made by FIA to have less abrasive asphaltSo if I got this right, we've got FOM asking Pirelli to make their tires shit for the entertainment, and then we've got FIA who're forced to make the tracks smoother so they won't destroy the tires too much? That's peak clownery.
>>22523>>22529>So if I got this right, we've got FOM asking Pirelli to make their tires shit for the entertainment, and then we've got FIA who're forced to make the tracks smoother so they won't destroy the tires too much? That's peak clownery.idk, sounds like a half truth to me.
Maybe that BR commentator knows more but the reason often stated for the spray is the cars themselves, someone even posted a comparison picture of an older redbull and a newer one and it was a big difference.
More water on the track = more spray
But the cars still have to be the biggest factor, here's to hoping next regs will fix it (they won't, why would they even consider it).
>montoya
Qualy in 30
Did they fix the deadbull in fp3?
>>22533No it is even more fucked.
Max looking very relaxed. Effeminate gestures.
I ate ten packs of maggi kari noodles.

I swear to God, Audi better have a good car for next year
I thought Red Bull were sandbagging as usual in practice but looks like they are genuinely shit.
>>22601They still think it's 2014
kek, a man heard I was watching the qualy and asked who got in q3 and had a shocked face when he heard stroll was third.
>Gimi in his rookie year is again beating F1 GOAT himself
Apologize for doubting him
Sir Lewis hiding his face like a criminal out the front of the courthouse.

At least the McLarens have each other to fight.

nooeychads, we're so back
I want to believe
VAMOS

>>22618nah, I enjoyed '23 quite a bit, watching Max dominate and break records was really great.
Ps3 is fine I guess, but Norrizz is such a weak cunt

Why is Stroll being interviewed by Sky? Get Alonso in there if you want answers
>>22648s-still i rise!
Looking forward to a brilliant recovery drive on sunday!
>>22632>glue trapThat's the authentic Ferrari experience, I guess.
>>22651Wow, can wait to see how this turns into no points tomorrow.
>>22651That'd have been crazy.
>>22651Would've been nice to see, even if the mclels would've overtaken him before t1 anyway
Ham DOTD tomorrow
>>22656Holy fuck, the one time I don't watch F4
>>22656For me, it's the very last car crashing the stalled one after 9 cars managed to not crash into him.
>>22665The Ferrari experience.
>>22667seeing how hes not the first champion to get buckbroken by Ferrari think its not the driver issue
still funny
>>22670>average vs medianOcon probably got a big margin in one of his wins, I suppose
>>22670average is when you have one billionaire in a stadium full of poor people making everyone a millionaire on average
>>22671>>22672Makes sense, thanks lads.
>>22673Please not another delay slurper.
>>22670Let's assume we've got 5 numbers:
8 4 2 1 60
To compute the average you just sum them all (75) and divide by the count (5), which here gives you 15.
To compute the median you simply sort them:
1 2 4 8 60
Then you delete numbers from the extremes, one at a time, until you only end up with the number in the middle (4), and that's your median.
As you see, the median is a bit wonky but it doesn't suffer the influence of a single big number thrown in the bunch, so it's used more often than the average in statistics.
>>22676Now that you guys explain it so well i remember learning it in HS a million years ago.
>>22673I know they were cautious last week because of Spa's reputation of death. Hungary should be able to have a wet race, at least that's what I want to believe.
I know it's probably been talked about already, but Bort was 3 tenths of Pole on a fucking Sauber
>>22679I'm so hyped about Bort, hopefully he gets a good car next season to fight for something more
>>22665100,000,000.00 USD annual salary, by the way.
>>22681Plus sponsors plus Hamilton Monster plus tip
>Câmara's maybe championship race is 3am
Fuck
>Yuki Tsunoda will start the Hungarian GP from the pit-lane after making changes under parc ferme

>NARB preventing Goblando from getting to PS3
wonderful
Well thats harsh
What? I could hardly see Hulk move
>LEC +3s
Ferrari strategy and pistops have been good this season, so of course that will be the demise of this race
Bort saved
>>22748okay thats a slam dunk
>>22750I couldn't see it when they showed no stream, but the webm makes it pretty clear, looks at the tires
They said pia is biden his time
>>22753Yeah, I can see it now. What a shame.
>norris cooking his tires
it will be devastating for Hamil if Charles manages to win but hes still outside of points
Hold him off chuck!
Why do they keep showing ALO gap to HUL?
Did they fuck up and mix the 2 Saubers?

let's see them delay giving max a penalty until after he pits
>SAUBER DIDN'T FUCK UP FOR ONCE
I'M SO HAPPY
trying to do the late pitstop to overtake the old tires seems questionable
>>22808kek
>>22807They are waiting till after the race to decide. It's easier to corrupt the results without outrage that way.
>>22807I think they've already dismissed it, the yellow [!] is no longer next to his name in the tower

>>22914i wish to see george russell cry forever
Norris is gonna be champ isn't he.
>>22918He mentioned something about the pit fucking his race, did they damage his chassis there?
>>22921He looks bigger, somehow
>>22924Really bizarre stuff
>>22926Ferrari stuff. They always have these issues they keep secret but drop hints about. Very strange team.
>>22924got orders to not talk shit about the team
>>22925Serious edema in his legs. He needs to take action to get healthy. We need to save him.
>>22930>>22929Edd Straw x Dr.Nowzaradan special when?
>>22921>no hair>less appearances in publicI'm scared
>>22917I'd still put my money on ps3.
Norris has too many scrappy weekends.
>>22934Yes but PS3 hasn't been that consistent with poles either. Thats what worries me a bit, since the McLels legit cannot deal with dirty air
>>22930Those trainers are barely laced up half way. The man has reached superhuman size.
They need to get him on the ozempic.
>>22937TODAY
3500 PEOPLE
WILL DIE
>>22933He sounds fine on the podcast and i'm pretty sure he attends almost every race.
It is close but I will back PS3 over Norris to win the WDC. Luck may be the decider in the end though.
>anyway let's watch a montage of leclercs frustrations
Bort status: Happy
Ham status: same as yesterday
What the actual fuck did he mean by this?
https://www.independent.co.uk/f1/lando-norris-f1-world-title-comments-dead-b2800639.htmlYes it fucking matters, you get to be immortalized
>>22946Rest of what he said there makes sense.
These guys go trough 50+ interviews a day on race weeks, so its not suprising they say something kinda weird sometimes.
Maybe he was reading reddit just before idk.
>>22947has hamilton ever said something that stupid about his own job? has max? has seb? schumi? alonso?
it's a statement made to protect himself if he fails to win the championship
>tehe I don't really care if I win or notofcourse it doesn't fucking matter, nothing matters if you don't give a shit
he's such a weakminded bitch.
someone on the other site mentioned that his girl has been railed by half the national football team and I felt bad for him when I read that but now I don't
>>22948>has hamilton ever said something that stupid about his own job?I agree with you but Hamilton's "I'm useless and Ferrari needs a new driver" is pretty bad for your job
>>22948>has seb?After becoming a climate activist he started saying stuff like F1 is just driving around in circles and that its not important.
>>22949sure but Hamilton is getting the ferrari experience after struggling with merc for 3 years which came after 8 years of dominance.
>>22950sebs shift in focus from a pure racist to climate activist was cope from failing
Both hamilton and seb had in common a hunger for winning and ruthlessness in their early days, which I respect alot.
They both achieved great things in the sport THEN started acting weakminded
Lando is in contention of the WDC and acts like it doesn't matter. Absolutely bizarre statement from someone in a competitive sport with a very meager CV to his name.
If you don't care about winning or losing you shouldn't be competing.
>>22951In the article linked by brazilanon Lando says he does care and wants to win but doesn't want to play mind games with ps3.
I guess you could call that weakmind.
All i know is if Lando wins i'll finally know what it felt like watching Damon Hill win.
I started watching F1 in 1999
>>22808>Jos is in the radiokek
>>22955lando dood
wat nou?
>>22960Yeah, I remember them saying that there could've been a contact, as they were narrating
>>22784
>>22964The heroes of Eff Wun
>>229643 racism, cola takes 1 away
>>22967People talk about Norizz but Leclerc legit sounds like a spoiled kid to me.
Nico proved on his podium race you can disagree with a decision and not comply if you think it's wrong as long as you explain it with good reason. Hell, even Bottas would sometimes ignore team orders.
Chuck instead just does everything Ferrari tells him without thinking, then shitflings on radio with his meltdowns, as if to avoid all blame. Ferrari are shit at strategy but if Leclerc knows this, he should be more firm about his positions.
>>22917Well ps3 has the tool and ability, he will just have to develop a WDC mentality to use them since he is clearly marked by those in power to place behind Lando. They coddle Norris constantly just to get him driving. Hell he lost two spots in lap one and they still fabricated a win for him.
>>22960The British bias is real. They spent half the race simping for Hamilton and the other half sucking off Norris despite his usual shit start.
>>22968He must be incredibly frustrated driving around for years in a car that is never quite good enough to content for a title. That and anyone would lose their mind driving for ferrari.
They broke Hamilton after half a season lol.
>>22967that's a better explanation than "muh chassi" atleast
a bit uncommon for drivers to openly share speculations about other teams problems no? maybe ar gorge is trying to start some shit again
imagine this.
You are gonna compete in formula 1 for 20 seasons total
You will win 2 championships.
When would you want to win them?
Early career?
Middle?
End?
(yes this is inspired by alonsos current situation)
>>22975always later.
Winning it late feels like a much bigger victory and gives you alot more respect that you never gave up chasing that dream. Just look at Hulk winning his first podium, how much celebration that had, or how Lauda winning in 84 was considered a god tier win.
>>22975I'd take it any way other than current Hamilton.
>>22975>When would you want to win them?In any of the 2 years I'm driving for Ferrari
>>22976yeah same
>>22977kek
>>22978ferrari would be huge, but I think winning with Williams would be pretty sweet too. Their history is really nice, even if they are shitters now.
>>22979Thinking about it in more detail, if I could pick any 20 year period to have a career I'd do from 1976 to 1996, and I'd choose 1986 and 1996 as my championship years.
>>22975ideally later would feel better, but imagine getting one in season 5 and then bowing out with another in season 20
>>22983A real brazilian hero
>>22984Fraudulent fake brazilian
So what are we gonna do now?
>>22989I don't know who this is, now if he had a wonderful mustache it could be Fernando Alonso, future WDC
>>22988that would be somewhat gay
Lewis needs to eat some meat and bang some chicks instead of being homo. That testosterone boost would help him much.
>>22996Lmao, i both hate and love Bernie
>>22987First, we reach the thread cap and then we'll figure it out.
>Cadillac are expected to make Perez's signing official in the days following August's Hungarian GP, which bookends the first half of the 2025 F1 season
Day 1, nothing.
>>22996based bernie, will be sad when he dies
>>23003kek nice, I considered making a 2001 space odyssey edit with the monkeys around the radio message
>>23005I fucking hate brits so hard. This whole recent online face recognition shit is just another reminder
>>23005Are you saying there is no British Bias?
>>23007I am saying there is one and whoever runs that podcast is delusional as fuck for not seeing it
>>23008Ok, I agree. They basically sob out loud when Hamilton shits the bed and praise Lando for giving away places every start. They were even calling for Max's head last race when Hamilton was so demoralized he simply pulled off the track to let Max pass.
>>22999Day 2, nothing.
Good night, thread.
>>23012>Crashing even off seasonCrashapinto…
>>23012what a massive KWAB
>>23012fucking hell cola, is he really gonna make it to the end of the season like this
>>23015smh max is washed guys
>>23012No worries, Mercadolibre will pay for it.
>>23012would've been to have an argie do well in F1. Oh well
>>23015what the hell. I had to go back and check, max has been doing WAAAY worse than I thought. it's like I've already memory-holed most of the races.
>>23015It's funny how hard this table shows how amx has been pushing the car to its limits during qualifying, and then having the car let him down during the races.
>>23021>https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/colunas/pole-position/2025/08/06/cadillac-deixou-candidatos-a-uma-vaga-na-f1-em-2025-no-escuro-apos-reuniao.htm"That's because a major meeting was held on Tuesday before the Hungarian race to discuss a number of topics, including, of course, the driver lineup. And after that, even those working with Valtteri Bottas, the driver with the most advanced talks with the Americans, were left in the dark… "
>>23025Kino
Also i found this really fucking weird thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOu_Tr1okvE
>"There were two versions of the F1 2000 season review made – a VHS version and a DVD version. The creators of the DVD version tried to "enhance" it with a use of various stock sound effects. The result is a complete joke, to be honest."
>>23026what in the fresh hell were they thinking, the small touches sounds like someone testing a van's suspension kek
imagine if they used fake sound effects in the current broadcasts like fake cheers that'd be crazy haha
>>23027It made it like a cartoon, especially that Michael crash.
>>23026Sounds like they hired the same sound guy for the Grand Tour. Every time a car bottoms out they use the same stupid sound effect and once you notice you can never go back.

>>23026holy shit, it's like a parody
>>23035upvoted 🔺+ gold award
>>23037They spent 100 million on making a car a monkey can drive over purchasing the actual monkey.
>>23039If only Ferrari had done that.
>>23037>half the season done>already more 1-2s than the rb "most dominant car ever" 19, with two turboshitters at the helmon the one hand the '26 regs look like a malignant anal tumor, on the other, this god forsaken season can't end soon enough
also remember how the media taked about amx dominance. notice how silent they are about this, despite it being more dominant and a mid-off at the same time
>>23041People are complaining less because there is a actual wdc fight unlike 2023.
Also, ps3 and norris aren't that bad, just a tier below max (like everybody else)
>>23037I hate this goblin
>>23041This season is closer to the 14' 15' or 16' seasons than any max season barring '21.
While it's only really a battle between two drivers in the same team it's not nearly as uneven as it was during 22' or 23'.
Max is mathematically still in contention for the title but it's looking more grim than it did for lando last year.
With all of this said though, the br*t*sh bias is strong and if, god forbid, lando were to go on to win every remaining race or their domination continues next reg, the br*ts will not call this out.
>>23044>there is a actual wdc fightI wish, they won't even let them fight properly.
>>23047How so? The only times i can think of where they even slightly interfered where the two times ps3 nearly drove into norris.
I don't believe mclaren is trying to sabotage ps3, if thats what you're referring to.
>>23048>where the two times ps3 nearly drove into norrisI mean those, yeah. Proper fighting is bound to bear some risks, especially when you have two cars with about the same speed, but mclaren want none.
>>23049I suspect the team cares about securing a 1-2 and thats why they get anxious when one of their drives tries to pull a move that was never going to work.
They almost got a double dnf when lando crashed into ps3 a couple of races ago.
>>23050>I suspect the team cares about securing a 1-2That's reasonable, sure. It's just not something we can say leads to a "proper fight, no holds barred" between the team's drivers.
>>23041I hate this delusion so much. 2022-2023 were some of the most boring years of F1 ever.
If you like Max thats fine, 2021 was kino, but McLaren is nowhere near as bad as some of Mercedes's worst years or Red Bull Rocket ship.
>>23046Know what's funny? Mathematically, speaking all drivers up to Tsunado can still be WDC this year.
>>23051Fat Brown said they expect their drivers to clash at some point and are not trying to prevent that at all cost.
We'll see how they act when the real battle begins after summer break, but so far i'd say mclaren has done alright in terms of letting them race.
>>23053Strollbros this is our year
Thoughts on Indy?
>>23057Old Indy 500's are fucking rad
every other race is shit.
>>23053>>23055it would be so fucking funny if mclarens performance goes off a cliff after the break and they fumble the championship away, like what (almost) happened in '09
>>23063Why couldn't this happen to Norris.
>>23063On one hand, what a fucking idiot
On the other, that looked really nasty, head first fall, hope he's alright.
>>23063that's nasty, the way he tenses up and stops moving is scary
>>23066He's <fine>.

>>23081Ah, it's all good, at least it's solved. Just hope the other Anons see it. Maybe you should put a more obvious global message or something for when servers are getting migrated/maintenance, it could help clear some confusion at times.
>>23077this is for lando obviously.
honestly though, who cares about how the person "losing" feels? Imagine winning the title and your team is barely celebrating because the other guy might feel sad about it, complete disrespect towards your accomplishment.
day 9 without f1
>>23081no worries, thank you for your hard work
>>23085>complete disrespect towards your accomplishmentExactly. Current day McLel is a fucking joke of a team.
>>23091Didn't make it myself, but it is a really nice breakdown. Fun too to search/remember which teams won less than 5 GPs
>>23094A good reminder of the kino and suspense DRS took away from us.
>>230982 MORE WEEKS TRUST THE PLAN
>>23100We talk shit about Perez but he was unironically the best team mate Max ever had.
He helped Max win the title super hard in 2021 and also got a few wins himself, that's better then every other Max team mate ever.
>>23101>He helped Max win the title Yes.
>super hardAnon please, he was invisible during most of the races. He did his job as a second driver, but barely.
I agree with the rest though.
>>23103I'm specifically talking Abu Dhabi 2021. A guy did a video on it with telemetry + on board and Perez basically raced all of that GP just to fuck Hamilton.
Here, it's pretty short:

>>23104That's part of his "helped max win the title", yeah.
The point is that with AD21 he made up for barely helping him for the rest of the year, Lulu would have got nowhere near amx's points by the last race if checo had stolen a few points more often.
Just look at his results, they're clear as day.
>>23105Yeah thats fair enough, i was just talking AD 2021 but didn't explicit that well enough.
Perez and Bottas are both 35+ years old and have now been out for a whole year with no racing at all.
Can they even still be considered safe pairs of hands to just keep the car on track with no crashes? That is all they might have going for them, but even that must be doubtful now, especially for Perez. Maybe Bottas can still be relied upon to put it into P19 every race without hitting the barriers, we'll see if he gets signed.
>>23101I will never forget checos contribution to max winning the title, holding up lewis and then giving max drs at AD was huge (although it didn't matter much in the end).
But he is and always was a midfield driver at best. Even if the car was difficult during his final years at RB some of his mistakes were just embarrassing.
also hated how much hype he was getting early this season when liam/yuki was doing badly, most people forgot how often he was completely irrelevant during the races.
>>23108during bottas final years I got the impression that he is pretty stable as a driver, but not very fast.
if both of them are comfortable with the car I think checo would be faster, but also more prone to errors, neither has good racecraft
>>23108Hulkenberg is 37 and was out of F1 and is racing well, both Bottas and Perez would do fine
>>23109>although it didn't matter much in the endI don't really feel like rewatching the race to make sure, but iirc it got amx close enough to scare lewis into not going for a pit stop when the SC came out.
>>23098These days i just assume f1 news is bullshit unless the race or dutch national news reports on it.
>>23111might be more an issue for rookies, kmag was out for a few years and had no issues coming back either.
>>23112thats possible, either way it was checos finest moment imo
>>23113I assume it's bullshit until it's on formula1.com
>>23116I feel like Leclerc is the bigger idiot here.
If your seat is full of water and it's not raining then of course it's leaking.
Jesus Christ. That was way too dangerous without the halo.
Btw, have emoticons disappeared for anyone else?
They only appear on the bottom but nothing happens when i click on them.
>>23119Work + playing games when i have free time. Playing the Command and Conquer games again.
>>23119catching up on some tv series I meant to watch before but was too lazy to do it: Silo, The Pitt, Tulsa King, Alice in Borderland, Landman, Mobland, Haunting of Hill House
it's nice to know there's still some very decent entertainment being made now despite the sharp drop in average quality throughout the years
>>23120working fine for me (librewolf)
Day whatever, nothing matters.
It's fucking raining now, so that's a plus.
>>23098Not official
>>23087I feel bad for Zillisch, he's been injured twice this season, he's definitely talented but that fall was preventable.
>>23119I was going to rewatch Cyber Formula, but I keep postponing it. I just been listening to anime songs all day.
>>23120Same here, I feel like too much of a brainlet to get it to work.
>>23124Seems to be working fine then.
On another note, why do teams keep signing up Ocon? Is there seriously nobody else that could take his spot? He's such a shitter i'm surprised he got to stay for so long.
>>23125>Is there seriously nobody else that could take his spot?No!
>>23125we've been over this already Drugo, you're not getting a seat
>>23125He has triple the points Bearman has, that's good specially considering the Haas has a finicky car this year.
>Is there seriously nobody else that could take his spot?Fornaroli
>>23129fucked up the title, how
i don't actually have ice cream right now and i don't like it
>>23121That's a great way to spend time. i put 80 hours into replaying C&C3 last winter.
>>23122I don't really watch post 2010 western stuff anymore, which one would you recommend?
>>23124Maybe its just a problem on firefox?
>>23134Thanks for baking. other Dutch anon.
