>News:Enjoy some ice cream this summer, Wapchan!
gimi
gimi (the real)
>>23146Mushroom bridge and shroom ridge, for me.
Has anyone actually tried LEC ice cream?
>>23137>which one would you recommend?I enjoyed Mobland the most I think, especially after watching The Gentleman recently which is a lot of fun
>>23148Isn't it exclusive to europe?
Let me tell you fellas something. George Russell and Charles Leclerc are both drivers who crash too often and make too many mistakes. Leclerc missed a sprint this year because he binned it on a reconnaissance lap. They are not better than the Mclaren pair.
People keep trying to hype them up. People are also way too quick to buy Max's excuses this year. He has been making heaps of mistakes in both qualifying and races.
If you watch closely you will see that every time Max makes some mistake he gets on the radio and blames the car. It is deliberate to try and fool the gullible. He even did it at Miami when Piastri went past him after he braked himself right off the track. He blamed the brakes.
Just because he blames the car doesn't mean it is the car. Some of you need to wise up.
gimi morning to all racist posters
>>23146figure 8 for maximum speed
mushroom bridge because it reminds me of anderstorp (swedish gp)
>>23154…and then those cars where destroyed over the course of a single lap lol.
I wonder how they felt about it.
>>23155Still more durable than 2003-2005 Mclaren cars
>>23155I don't think they minded that, they were probably more scared about the drivers getting bored with them and they certainly didn't.
>>23157I wonder how much money he got for the payout. I read he still had 5 years left on his contract at $10 million a year.
our prime minister announced he's working on getting F1 back in Portimão for 2027
normally this would be good for the news cycle, except he decided to announce it as half of our country is burning
>>23161It's the perfect time to remind the people that F1 is trying to achieve carbon neutral fuel, so all the burning it's going to be compensated later.
>>23161Can't he just red flag so the track jannies put out the fire?
Had an extremely stressful morning dealing with braindead younger co-workers who want to overcomplicate something that should be simple
F1 races for this feel?
>>23168Sounds like perfect training to prepare for a transfer to Ferrari.
>>23168Mmmh. Stroll at Sao Paulo GP 2024
>>23170Thats close but thats more just 1 idiot fucking himself over.
>>23169Ferrari in general seems closer
>>23161Panem et circenses.
>>23173In this years cars?
Hulkenberg wins easily.
Alonso second
max
jugi
Its like whoever made that image doesn't know Hulk is rated within the paddock. Just had terrible luck at getting drives.
>>23174Correction: i think Yuki would be ahead of max.
RBR is easy to drive but has a low sealing
>>23173If current cars
Hulk>Alonso>Verstappen>Tsu
>>23177Yes, i know. I'm taking general performance relative to the car.
And i still don't think Max would be behind Tsu in most races. I imagine Tsu would be where Fake Gimi is at now, sometimes points, a cheeky podium but nothing amazing (To wit, Antonelli didn't get to points in 7 out of 14 races), which is still better than what he is doing right now on RB, but not enough to be overly impressive.
Also consider that VCARB also has 2 rookies, the only team to have so, compared to if Max being there would probably put the team above Williams right now.
>>23178I think you are underestimating yuki.
New-gimi is a rookie fast tracked into F1 with enormous pressure put on him, whereas Yuki has 5 ish seasons in F1 under his belt and he is not nearly as bad as his stint in the shitbull makes him out to be.
He would probably be within a couple tenths of russell in pace.
>>23179That's fair, but i'm not trying to directly compare him to Ant, i'm using his example to say where i think Tsu would fall, if he was on Mercedes, which, would still be the best possible year Tsu would have in his career.
This is Tsu's worst year by far, but in his 5 years he never really seemed be that good either. His best result has been 12th in the WDC, exactly last year.
>>23179>>23180I think it's a bit difficult to judge Yuki.
His first two seasons he was up against Gasly, who had 4 years of experience at that point. He did a decent job in '21, but terrible in '22.
'23 wasn't great either but none of his teammates did much better
In '24 he did an okay job in beating Ricciardo, he was 10 points ahead of him before ricci got canned. He was somewhat even with Lawson in their 6 races together.
I think Yuki in a merc would do better than Max in a RB.
Kimi is probably better than Yuki, but he's still a rookie and managed to get good results in his first 6 races. Looking at russlels results, the car is actually pretty good.
Max could probably put the RB on pole but would not be able to keep the other 3 behind him for long.
>>23184That doesn't sound healthy.
I'm watching kimagure orange road
>>23184seems like kwab loser behaviour
>>23186>kimagure orange roadHow are you liking it? The artstyle looks nice.
I'm currently watching Kare Kano, which is a shoujo manga adaptation directed by Anno.
>>23183Vettel was such a cheeky bastard wasn't he.
I can't wait for my day to end. Races for this feel: the 2005 United States Grand Prix.
I just want to say that, as a sign of gratitude I'm going to help in the wapchan wplace drawing. Check the banner for the info.
>>23193>>23194Qatar '23 also works
or most Monaco GPs
>>23196Hearing Galvão Bueno's narration on wapchan feels like a curse on my bloodline
imagine the sex
>>23198you're welcome
>>23200Jesus i never seen this
What a fucking cunt
>>23203With Pirelli tires too? 100%
>>23202>bargeboards are backAlso, now I see why nuui said he was moderately excited about the new rules. Ground effect stays but aero gets a bit more freedom overall.
Liking the front wing, btw.
>>23208Doubt this will stick by Monza
Ferrari always try hards on it
Nice Cadillac reveals btw
most boring break ever, nothing happened
>>23199Too bad toto closed the door on this deal, this would've fueled the rumors even more.
>>23200>>23201Alonso also said it was the toughest race he's ever done, that says alot.
Imma assume the lewis was asked about cooling in general, otherwise he's a complete cunt.
>>23202>>23206I think the ground effect era has been pretty decent. Remember how awful it was when cars could only stay close for like 2 laps then had to back off cus the tyres got fucked?
The major issue is spray and as always, 1 team figures something out and gets a massive gap to everyone else.
>>23213I like the idea of ground effect, but the spray means it completely kills wet racing so it's an unusable solution to the close racing issue.
The only real solution is to ban both ground effect and any kind of aero which generates noticeable amounts of dirty air. Cars would have to rely a lot more on mechanical traction, but that's the kind of racing which depends the most on driver skill so it's a win-win in the end.
https://www.crash.net/f1/news/1079614/1/how-nico-hulkenberg-narrowly-missed-out-being-max-verstappens-f1-teammate
>Nico Hulkenberg was close to becoming Max Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate in 2021, Helmut Marko has revealed.
>However, he starred for Racing Point in his stand-in appearances.
>Perez’s late-season charge turned the tide in his favour, winning for the first time at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix.How RACIST would this combo be?
>>23217Man, that's a huge shame.
>>23217On one hand, this would've been the most racist team by far. On the other, we wouldn't have gotten so many checo memes, and maybe RB wouldn't have fallen off so quickly.
>>23217>>23219>>23220On one hand, very based.
On the other hand, same results as with checo, a few wins, plenty of podiums and a lot of struggling. Maybe RBR would've won the constructors in '24.
I don't know if Hulk has a particular preference in his cars or not, so that could be a major factor in his performance. But ultimately I think he's an eternal midfielder and RBRs downfall was inevitable as soon as Nuui left.
https://racingnews365.com/cadillac-sign-first-f1-driver-for-2026-seasonBUTTASS IS BACK
>The Cadillac F1 team has made its first driver signing for its debut F1 season, RacingNews365 and Formula.hu understand.
>Cadillac has reached a deal with F1 veteran Valtteri Bottas, who will make his return to the sport for the 2026 campaign.
F1 status?
>>23228All part of his master strategy
>>23228>>23229nvm lol
>Under the new-look Sporting Regulations for F1 2026, Article B1.10.4/G of the regs has tweaked the wording of the application of a grid penalty to introduce a 12-month timer as such, “A drop of any number of grid positions at the driver’s next Sprint or Race in which the driver participates in the subsequent twelve (12) month period.”>This means that, from 2026, any driver who earns a penalty such as Bottas’ would have this wiped after 12 months have elapsed.>However, the Finn won’t be so lucky, and Bottas will be forced to serve the penalty awarded to him at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix if and when he makes his return to the F1 grid, which will likely be with Cadillac at the 2026 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.>“Currently, the penalty will stand, as there is no mechanism to retroactively amend the penalty that was applied under the regulations in force at the time,” an FIA spokesperson confirmed to PlanetF1.com.>“The change of regulation is intended to avoid similar anomalous situations in the future.”
>>23230Valebros… we got too cocky…
>>23223What a uninspired choice, hopefully the second seat will be a rookie and please god don't hire perez.
>>23230lmao
>>23233on one hand I want to mock the checo fans that are still hoping for a return
on the other hand I want to see him back in the grid to laugh and I have invested disk space with memes of him
tough choice
>>23237and it's going to be glorious
>>23237I don't know about this, Caddy.
>>23237TE QUIERO MUITO
PURO PINCHE CHECO PEREZ
Is this the actual worst line up of all time for a team?
lmao. Oh man this is gonna be so fucking good
>>23242Of all time? I know we meme them, but that's quite a stretch. Just in recent times Maze-Schumi was one of the worst.
>>23243Yeah sorry i just ment more meme worthy
I just laughed so hard when i saw it.
The Race is saying they are hiring experienced mediocre old dudes because they're going to need development drivers instead of a promising young guy who at this stage only adds noise to the system.
I guess that makes sense but its kinda boring.
>>23245It makes sense if you want to think of most rookies as simbabbies that can only read data and translate that into changing how they drive, but not into helping develop the car, so of course 2 vets would be bety. Just imagine if you get a Doohan in the Caddy seat and he tries his Suzuka stunt. All the development would go down the drain.
The real fun and spicy thing here will be the inner competition between them, if they do get the seats. 2 drivers that had the most disastrous last seasons of their career, having to prove everyone that they're absolutely worthy of a seat, with the possibility of staying with the team when they decide to hire a rookie. Whoever wins will be forgiven by the public, and the loser will have an ever worse exit from the sport.
>>23246Rookies have a lot to learn even if they have a sim experience.
Even Ps3 was shit on tyre handling for the first 2 seasons.
Now i'm wondering who would be the better of the two vets. Didn't Bottas actually out perform Lewis on occasion?
You can't really say that about perez/amx.
They will probably be fighting for P21 though lol.
>>23247I will have to remind myself multiple times next year that we have P21 and P22 once again
>>23247>You can't really say that about perez/amx. Only on the rare occasions checo woke up in Baku. And, yes even if they're competing for 21 I'm hoping they'll be more entertaining than Alpine is doing this season.
>>23248I actually forget how Q1 and Q2 work now for 21 drivers
>>23237i wonder what a non-satan powered buttas will behave like
i always believed in chego, looking forward to this team
>>23250probably slowest 6 get KOd in Q1 and Q2 if I had to guess
>>23253I almost went outside once.
>Rule reset
>Slightly smaller cars
>A Hue, Baguette, Finn, Pasta and German on the grid again
>22 cars
>Meme teams
I'm ready for 2026
>>23255Don't forget
>drs replaced>lift and coast for battery recharge
>>23256I thought DRS was still in, but with the front wing also opening
>>23257Yeah, they've pretty much just changed the name so they could go "Look guys, no more DRS!"
>>23260Oh, so they are gonna delay the race for 3 hours than we get 6 safety cars and maybe 10 laps where people get to race?
I bet the stands at Zandvoort will be half empty. Poor weather plus Max not dominating = Dutch fans not bothering. They are not real F1 fans.
>>23260Dutch weather forecasts are absolute dogshit so i wouldn't count on it being accurate.
>>23262Ehh the track going off the calender soon (possibly forever) will ensure filled stands.
>>23257I believe the details have yet to be worked out.
From what i've read it might be quite different from the old drs, with it possibly being available at every single point of a track that you can take full throttle.
>>23264If thats true i expect somebody to die next year
RA WE
CE EK
>>23267finally, I was having trouble finding more videos for the daily post
RACE WEEK!

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/FIA-reveals-just-how-slow-2026-F1-cars-could-be/10752329/
>The FIA says it has been “surprised” by the focus on lap times for the new 2026 Formula 1 cars, which it admitted could be “between one and two-and-a-half seconds slower”
>>23270wait a minute
>'The new cars will be slower in the corners and faster on the straights. This is already evident in the simulations. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff promises: 'When full power is deployed, we'll be approaching the 400 km/h limit.''if they're that fast in the straights but still 1-2.5 seconds slower then imagine how they will behave in the corners
>>23271i'm telling you, somebody will die this year
>>23271>we'll be approaching the 400 km/h limitJust quick enough for the Vector class in wipeout.
>>23271>we'll be approaching the 400 km/h limitHe's forgetting the battery will run out halfway trough the straight.
>At Zandvoort, the FIA will raise the pit lane limit from 60 to 80 km/h, reducing the time lost for the pit stop by a few seconds. The goal is to encourage two-stop strategies
>>23277It's about sending a message.
>>23279Kinda funny how their numbers combined make 88.
Which is also twice that 'other' number.
>>23279im feeling it
i hope a toto-less buttas is a nice driver(and guy)
https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2025/08/25/alex-palou-red-bull-rumors-formula-1-news-indycar-silly-season/85808563007/?amp;gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=pp&gnt-cfr=1
>Red Bull Racing has expressed interest in placing four-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou in a Formula 1 ride for 2026 next to the team's own four-time F1 champ Max Verstappen, sources with direct knowledge of the talks confirmed to IndyStar.Yukibros…
>>23283Pretty car but i remember it being a piece of shit
>>23284How about just building a drivable car and having either yuki or Hadjar pilor it?
>>23279It's fucking official now, god damnit
>>23284Really doubt anyone coming from Indycar performed well at Eff Juan
>Helmut Marko, however, hasn't given up hope of surprising everyone, especially since the only way to prevent Verstappen from leaving the team is to fail to meet the terms of the release clauses in the Dutchman's contract:
>"We're counting on being back in the lead with Max next season, so we won't hear about his release clauses anymore," Marko said in an interview with Krone.
>"The figures we're seeing currently are promising, and there's still a long way to go until testing. We're well underway with the chassis, and the quality of the power unit will be determined by four factors: the internal combustion engine, the battery, fuel, and fuel system. I hope we don't repeat what happened in 2014, when Mercedes had 50 to 70 more horsepower.
>"Verstappen sees that we're working hard, and to make him smile, all we have to do is start talking about GT3 and sim racing."
>>23289Why does Bottas looks like he is a Silver Power ranger in this picture
>>23293Checo doesn't even look like himself either because of the focal lens.
>>23292I wonder what will happen with the driver market if RB doesn't have a rocketship next year
>>23295NGL i sometimes think Max is only praised so much because he keeps getting good cars. It's like what Alonso said about Hamilton once, he can only race well if he starts in first.
>“Certainly there was a lot of conversation around the gap, having been out for a full year,” Towriss said. “I think when you look at Valtteri, he's at the track every weekend, right? And so it was important for us to kind of know where Sergio's at in terms of his desire to be back in Formula 1, and also his belief in our project in leading the Cadillac Formula 1 Team. And we couldn't have been more pleased with his response.
>“I think, again, in our meetings with him, he outperformed, I guess. If you would say we had questions, we had skepticism around some of these things and he answered all of our questions, passed our tests with flying colors. And so we were pleased to put him forward.”
>“We spent a lot of time looking at past experience and kind of what the state of the world was at Sauber, and really how Valtteri performed with the car that's there and kind of qualifying performance versus race performance,” Towriss added.
>“And then in particular, probably the more complicated scenario was Red Bull, right? That's been an interesting kind of saga to watch, a team that's really built around one driver, but has two. And clearly none of the other drivers have fared well in that second seat from that standpoint.”
>>23296Good drivers tend to find themselves in good cars.
Alonso would never say that about max.
>>23279>>23300sovl boomer line up
I already like Caddilac
>>23188I like the art and there's some fun gags
>>23294>Edd weighs inAnd what a weight, that is!
Memes aside, I do agree with him. The concept of a team made up of the two most famous second drivers from the last few years is pretty funny, but Andretti, I mean, Cadillac need all the experience they can take, and these two are perfect for the job. They'll be carrying baggage from both Merc and RedBull.
>>23296Anon, are you implying this year's RB is a good car?
>>23302No, exactly the opposite.
>>23303He's been praised a lot this year, though.
>>23304I guess that's fair yeah, it's for sure his roughest year in quite a long time
>>23300Why is Keanu Reeves at the end of the announcement?
>>23306Excellent question, and the answer is
>>23294>>23302How would you even motivate yourself when you are joining a team that is expected to be at the far back of the grid.
If you are a rookie it's your foot in the door so it's whatever, don't crash and out qualify your teammate.
As a seasoned driver it has to be depressing as hell knowing you will constantly be the slowest on the field and you are years away from even being able to score points consistently.
>>23306We must ask ourselves where he is, whenever Keanu is out of the public spotlight.
>>23309>How would you even motivate yourselfIt's easy money, with little expected from you in terms of performance.
2026 will be the year of PERVERTSU
>>23311Bottas and Perez probably have more than enough money, although a few more zeroes on their bank accounts might motivate them slightly.
I think we you are competing at that level, not performing, being dead last, outweighs your paycheck somewhat.
>>23309Please refer to
>>23246 for my opinion on this, they just want to prove themselves they're worth more than what their latest performance were portrayed as.
>>23314it's their redemption arc, yeah makes some sense
>>23309If i was either bottas or Perez i would be much more interested in helping a brand new team get their shit together compared to being a backup driver who has to attend every weekend but you never get to do any driving.
These guys are never getting a good seat again so whats so bad about taking on a mentor role?
Just like Alonso with AM they probably have stuff lined up with cad for after they retire from F1.
>>23309Money and a chill job i would say. Nobody expects many results from you since you can just dismiss it as the shit car. Alot of older drivers go to these shitter teams near the end of their careers just to drive since they find it fun and get paid for it
>>23318Checo looks so different here, what the fuck?
>>23319Nah, that Checo's normal, it's
>>23289 that looks uncanny to me.
>>23320He looks thinner to me
Cadillac are playing it very safe. Coming in with no fire in the belly. No balls. Just accepting they will be slow and shit for the first few years.
Hiring a couple of washed old fart drivers.
At least Bottas is washed in a gentle way and can still keep the car on the track. Perez will be in the barriers half the time.
I'm not impressed.
>Appearing on the High Performance podcast, Scanes, who served as Verstappen’s performance coach between 2019 and 2023, claimed Verstappen’s offence was a pre-meditated act intended to pile pressure on Mercedes.
>Scanes said: “Brazil is a good example [of the mind games] where Max went behind the Mercedes rear wing and was giving it a good feel.
>“That was measured: he knew he was going to get a €50k fine and no impact on track.”
>Asked if Verstappen had spoken about it before he touched the Mercedes rear wing, he added: “Not [with] me personally, but in the team it was discussed.”
>Mercedes clarified after Hamilton’s disqualification that the rear-wing infringement was caused by a broken component.
>And Scanes argued that Verstappen’s fine was “helpful” in terms of piling pressure on Mercedes as the 2021 title race reached it crescendo.
>He added: “Even if nothing happened, [it would have been worth it].
>“I think there was a change. For the last two races, they couldn’t run that particular wing, so that was helpful in its own sense because they absolutely ran away with that Brazil race.
>“But even if nothing happened, that would have just shifted the focus, put a little bit of pressure in the media on them.
>“Obviously the games between Toto [Wolff] and Christian [Horner] were always clear to see in the media.
>“But then backstage, [in the] cooldown rooms between Max and Lewis or even Angela [Cullen, Hamilton’s trainer], [we] would kind of try and have a have a little go as well.”

I like how both of them look uncomfortable.

lol
>>23327I don't see the issue at monaco, they've been doing parade laps for a few years now.
>>23329They should just do that race with classic F1 cars.
>>23327but what if… there was no electrical energy allowed to be deployed… and for this race FIA homologated a special 10 cylinder engine to be used… and the cars had to stop for fuel in the middle of the race… and we had women stand in front of the cars holding signs with driver numbers before the race on the grid… and they could also race in the rain without a two hour red flag… that'd be crazy haha
>>23327>Just drive the cars slower at MonacoTHEN WHY THE FUCK DON'T WE JUST MAKE THEM SMALLER IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT PERFORMANCE FROM THIS PIECE OF SHIT HYBRID SYSTEM
Ahem, let's not forget
>>23230
>>23331>>23332unironically make them race in the lego cars
>>23335Ridiculous, they've learnt nothing from all the people memeing on VCARB.
At least the colors fit pretty well.

It has tons of holes and draconian shit that might make it somehow worst than the UK. My only hope is that people get so annoyed at it that at least the age verification shit is removed. I ain't giving my ID to youtube or some random porn site.

that shortstack Tsu supposedly dated is a contender, kimis gf maybe due to being really young, Hulks wife is a weak possibility due to it being legal in germany.
>>23360"Palmowski pushed on, improving to a 1:38196 on her next attempt. Chambers slotted into second until Weug narrowly missed out on setting the time to beat, going 0.005s slower than Palmowski’s best effort.
That would prove to be the final flying lap for the Ferrari driver as her MP Motorsport teammate Joanne Ciconte locked up and found the barriers at Turn 8. With just under eight minutes remaining, the Red Flags were waved and as the clocked ticked down, the session was not resumed."

>>23376>>23377hmm, might actually be better to use kph.
it a lot easier to relate to for anyone who's driven a car

the big issue for me is that women often choose a bunch of random designs and just put them all over the place, even if the individual tattoo looks good the combination and lack of theme just makes it look awful.

Looks like Aston have taken a real step forward. An Alonso podium might not be out of the question.

>>23366>>23367Definitely, he had almost no hair at the top.
>“I think the main reason that we don’t have a female in Formula One is because so many drivers start at a young age, and you need to have so many pieces of the puzzle to make it to Formula One. If you’re missing one of those pieces, you won’t make it,” Hawkins said to The Athletic. “There are fewer opportunities for a female to have every piece of that puzzle. So if we can introduce more at a younger age, make it more visible that women are allowed in Formula One, I think we stand a better chance.”>“I think women are viewed as more risky, and people do talk about it in terms of a return on investment,” Forrow said. “And what I guess my experience from other sports would tell me is you can identify at least talent. It isn't just access to practice, and I suppose that's where motorsport is quite unique in that you could be slightly less talented and have a little bit more money and do quite well, versus being incredibly talented in other sports, but maybe you're weaned out of that kind of system by age.”https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6579866/2025/08/29/f1-female-driver-giovanna-amati/

Poor Lance. I feel for him sometimes. The father is overbearing and abusive.

>>23407it's a lot of fun, it's good exercise and it's something to do outside
I usually ride on bike paths and forest trails I'm already familiar with, there I can go fast and be relatively safe, I avoid driving on roads where I can
to get to them I have to drive through some (usually) empty and quiet narrow asphalt roads through a suburban neighbourhood though… I got too proudy
>>23409could be worse, I've broken my hand a few years ago, it's just some bruises
Crofty and Karun … I am struggling. I wish you could switch them off but keep the rest of the sound.
I bet Hamilton has resorted to crazy setup experiments in his desperate attempt to catch up to Sharl.

The summer break needs to be shorter, evveryone's fucking up simple shit.
I missed the start of FP2, did Shartonelli crash?
>>23421Stroll and Albon did, Hadjar engine died, and Hamilton spun, but didn't crash.

I possess a profound and vehement aversion toward the digital recreations of vehicular tires, which are meticulously generated through the application of computer graphics imagery. My disdain is not a fleeting whim, but rather a deeply held conviction rooted in the uncanny, unnatural, and often aesthetically discordant manner in which these synthetic rubber facsimiles are rendered. They frequently exhibit a deplorable lack of realistic texture, failing to capture the subtle imperfections, scuffs, and road grime that authentically ground a physical tire in reality. Instead, they present as overly pristine, plasticky, and fundamentally weightless, betraying a complete absence of the rotational inertia and physical deformation that are intrinsic to a tire in motion. This persistent visual dissonance shatters the fragile suspension of disbelief, transforming what should be a seamless, immersive cinematic or digital experience into a glaringly artificial spectacle of pixels and polygons, thereby evoking within me a visceral sense of revulsion.

>>23525that's actually pretty fair
They're going to put Hadjar in the RB, right?

>>23472Haha, look at him go!
>>23524>>23525He said he still rages, he just doesn't press the radio button for it now.

Reporter was talking about possible strategies for the race, then Bort came in, grabbed the mic and said:

you can't put an experienced racing driver in the car, because…… because you just can't, ok?! only F2 generational talents and championship winners allowed
the system is there to keep inexperienced zoomers and shitter pay drivers out, but actual experienced racing drivers from other series are getting fucked over

>Sergio Perez will be paid close to $10m, according to RecordMX in his home nation of Mexico. That fee would be approximately the same as his salary at Red Bull.
>That fee would reportedly place him seventh in the list of F1 driver salaries. Only Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, Fernando Alonso, Lando Norris and George Russell would be paid more.
>Perez would also earn extra money from bonuses for championship position, podiums and race results. That is routine fare for every F1 driver on the grid.
>But this report from Mexico also suggests Perez will be paid bonuses based on how much merchandise he sells. His huge popularity in his home country means having Perez in their car can be lucrative business for Cadillac. The RecordMX report claims that Perez sold the second-most amount of worldwide merchandise, of any F1 driver, during his Red Bull stint. Only Hamilton sold more.
I know I shouldn't expect much from Ferrari this year, but I'd like to seem them steal the win from the Mclarens like they did last year, somehow.

Unless norizz gets desperate.

>F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali: “In 2026 Zandvoort will host its last Grand Prix, so we’re discussing new addition, including alternating events. But there won’t be many: one or two, no more. Barcelona is interested in an alternating slot. There’s Portugal, Turkey, and recently Hockenheim – which has new ownership – has shown interest. The most important thing prospective hosts must understand is that there are very few available slots, so those who sit at the table need financial strength.”
>Isack Hadjar: “To be honest, at the start of the year, you were asking me if I was feeling ready to jump in the Red Bull this year - and the answer is still no, because I don't see the point of doing that right now. But ‘26 is a different question because it's a brand new start for the team. There won't be this talk of the second car thing. This wouldn't be a thing because it's a brand-new car for everyone.”
>Jacques Villeneuve (at Sky's F1 Show podcast): “Charles is frustrated because he’s probably starting to understand that he will never be World Champion, it’s gone bad, it’s gotten worse. Next year is a whole new set of regulations and normally that’s not when Ferrari is at its best, so it’s a difficult situation for him. He’s been there for a long time and his star has fallen a little bit.”

BORT
>>23929What the fuck is he thinking
also, i'm not sure if i'm falling for the fast on the straights meme
but god i hope both Saubers go to Q3
>>23927The MIGGA era McLaren is one of the coolest looking cars ever.
>>23933where else would he go?
They've been pretty consistently in the midfield for a few years, they were even ahead of mclaren in 2022, they've just been shit this year.
I don't think anyone expects them to ever be in the top since renault doesn't give a shit, but new regs means a reset and again, were else could he go? HAAS?
>>23929What is Flavio planning?
>>23937It just feels weird to sing till 2028. I just don't get why a driver like Gasly is satisfied in Alpine since he has expressed dissatisfaction with the team before, beyond just car performance. Especially as you mentioned with Renault giving less of a shit as the years go by.
I dunno man, i like him as a driver so seeing him waste away his talent on Renault/Alpine's current form just stings a bit.
more like Alex Dunce, am I right
>>23939Yeah I also want Gasleak to do well but his time for a top spot might be over.
Mclaren are locked in for a while, unless Norris goes full Damon Hill and resign from mental fatigue.
Ferrari is stuck with Hamilton for a while and Bearboy is more likely to replace either of their drivers.
RBR have drivers in RB and junior drivers to promote.
Mercedes are locked in, don't see Toto replacing Russel with Gasly either.
Williams is having their best year since 2017 but it's at the end of the regs. Signs could be hanging loose if the gap to albon increases but that's also just another midfield team.
Sauber is closed for now.
Haas sucks.
AM is honestly the only interesting choice, large investments, newey mobile etc. But Stroll is going stay there at least a couple of seasons more and Drugobitch would be more likely to replace Nando.
A 3 year deal isn't that long, even though I think a 2 year would've been better to give himself more options earlier in the new regs.
>>23942Yeah i guess its the duration of the contract that sucks for me, doesn't give him chances if a good spot happens to come in.
PS3 must be thanking God every day he was able to jump from that ship to McLaren
I might miss Q3 but I hope Norris manages to bin it early.
>>23944Somewhere between P3 to P8
>>23944a cheeky p2 for sharl maybe
DUN DUN DUN
>>23944Hamilton p10
Chuck p3

Will norizz fuck it up
ITS OVER FOR NORRIS
>norizz
LMAO
>>23981>>23982>>23984>>23985oh well, was fun while it lasted
Norris made it, BUT, he burned an extra tire set. No way he gets pole now.
How good is bort?
I got excited hoping Norris wouldn't make it.
>>23987true, but the medjums seem to be pretty good here
>>23988rookie of the year if he wasn't driving the steak and hadjar didn't get the podium last week
>>23988best rookie in the worst car
Pole seems a more open contest than usual.
business idea: all races in the calendar at Monza
>>23993probably track related but imagine if this is the turning point of the season and we get a similar situation to 09 with brawn

Fastest lap in F1 history right?
>>24019it's a track record by 0.095 seconds
>>24020yeah and Hamilton's previous qualify record was considered the fastest lap on avg of all time, so Max just beat that too
>>24023Kino, the swan song for ground effect cars
>>24019>>24020>>24023holy shit, GOAT
wasn't the '20 merc considered one of the fastest cars of all time?

Is it really true mclaren told ps3 to give norris a tow in Q2?
That is some weak shit if true, ps3 should've refused.
also, somebody should post the loud nigra Montoya monza lap to celebrate
>>24044Leclerc will not see the end of his contract (suicide)
So can we finally agree that Yuki sucks.
>Max has the most poles joint (5) this season with Piastri
my GOAT
>Lewis Hamilton: “It’s not something I ever did [tow] in any of my other teams, and I’m sacrificing one of the drivers, and I’ve already got a five-place penalty, so points-wise I needed to be as high as I could.”
>>24052thats not real quote, right?
>>24044>lewis will be driving for the reborn Brawn GP from 2027 to 2028Nice
>>24053Unfortunately not.
>Lindblad today
close enough, welcome back Torpedo Kvyat
>Isack Hadjar and Pierre Gasly will start the Italian GP from the pit-lane after making changes under parc ferme.
>Max about lap record he set today "I mean, its also the new asphalt, different curbs, the track has also just gotten quicker. I think if you put the 2020 Mercedes here, you'll go quicker. Especially if you put me in that car. Then we go even faster."
He's so cool
>>24066So they really are fucking brainless without Newey and Max is the one salvaging his own car
>>24065>>24066Max has specific tastes in a car that seems alien to all other drivers. I'd be more worried if they looked the same. Yuki cannot drive a car set up for max. He would be far slower. Yuki is undoubtedly running a safer more stable setup.
>>24068max is a demon that needs specs so weird that virtually nobody can get used to on a whim, for sure
but trying to argue against a setup suggested by your 4 time wdc seems pretty stupid
>>24066This is what peak racism grit looks like. Daring to go with bespoke car set ups and leaving everyone else dumbfounded.
This year truly cements Max's legacy as a champion.
>>24069>>24068I also don't agree with saying that Yuki is running a "safe" set up, otherwise he would be performing better.
All second RBR drivers mention the car is super finicky to drive and only Max is able to fully dominate it. Max would also get a piece of shit car this weekend if he didn't mention those changes.
