Max also won a race at the Nürburgring, btw (congratulations, Max (and Chris))
I had a thread ready to go…
Its fine, thanks for baking.
Didn't even know it was amxs bday.
My condolences to Roscoe.
That being said, it's not a good enough excuse for Louie to underperform
>>25149Oh well, it is what it is
>>25150You're welcome
and now you know
F1 Academy is racing in Singapore
They like to travel don't they
gimi
edd
thank you for your attention.
The Cirno game from the other day makes me think we should add vroom related flash games so we can play while nothing happens
gimi
https://youtu.be/9GaMD3FhTIQamx gave us all a present by uploading a burgerking onboard
>>25158I still can't tell if Torger's pet project will be a winner or not, he's probably the most inconsistent rookie in the grid
>>25159He did get that (sprint) pole position.
Toto fucked up promoting kimi to a top team in his first year, too much pressure on the lad.
>>25161I'm morbidly curious about what would happen if Audi manages to have a good car and Ferrari has Hamilton and Leclerc leaving after missing the mark on the regulations.
>Cadillac has signed former IndyCar champion, Simon Pagenaud, and ex-Haas driver Pietro Fittipaldi as sim drivers
>>25163Solid choices for the job, I guess. At least Pagenaud is still active after his concussion.
>>25161is it confirmed that ferrari is interested or is it just a rumor?
besides max, bort is the only driver currently on the grid that I would want in ferrari so I'd be happy with that.
>>25166This is how amx can still win
>>25167The real challenges will be to predict if it will rain on sunday, and if the race will be allowed to start on such conditions.
>>25169Bahrain 2023 lets fucking go
>>25170They have a cooling system now though.
Declared heat hazard means everyone has to have one installed.
Dunne is done
>>25170and they're having a spring there next year, possibly during day time too kek
>>25173Haha
>>25172If the RB rumors are true, Yuki or Lawson will be without a seat.
It's funny how these statements came from George and Lando, and the public opinion piled up on Lando.
George's statement from a few hours ago
>“It’s incredible, to be honest,” said Russell, who has won four grands prix.
“I think we're all pretty jealous of it, because having this freedom of firstly doing what you love in Formula 1, but then also being able to go out and race other things and just enjoy it at your leisure… I don't think it's quite that straightforward for other people doing it, but you have that right when you win four world championships, and we're all here fighting to win our first.
>“Maybe after four championships under our belts, we'll be able to choose to do the same. But no, I respect it a lot and definitely I would love to do it one day. Brilliant.”
Now compare it to
>“I respect Max for going and doing such a thing, he's in a much easier position to go and do those things,” added Norris.
>“If he's fighting for a championship and those kinds of things, it probably wouldn't look the best. But he's in a position where he's also won four world championships. So, it's a bit of an easier time than maybe what me and Oscar do at the minute.
>“But certainly in my future, I'll go and do it. Because I think I have the same want and desire as Max to go and do other things and just go do whatever I enjoy.”
>>25177Reading it like this makes him seem like a little bitch, maybe its clear he is joking when you watch the interview though.
>>25180I dunno anymore man. He fumbled so hard on Baku and don't forget he is already coming off getting Team Ordered and not reacting
>>25181>Team Ordered and not reactingI understood that as him wanting to stay in good standing with the team. I doubt he will be as nice when the title is within reach.
>>25182Eh, before the summer break he also had that safety car/yellow flag infringement that i thought was going to fuel his anger to do better once he came back, but so far it hasn't been that impactful.
I just don't want Norris to win, it can be VER or PS3, just not NOR
>>25180If both Mclaren turns out to be dominant here, I expect Norris to come out on top, PS3 second, and Max third.
Good morning friends.
Vrooms are upon us
also
Band, the network that transmits F1 over here is so broke, that they can't pay their employees so for Singapore, they will just use the regular F1 stream and have some intern narrate it
lol???
Good morning lads, looks like rain is on the menu all weekend.
I sometimes wonder in this circuit, imagine if a regular car from the highway above, just crashes down onto the circuit
I hear ruth, i mute.
nanooooooooo
Not falling for the "asston is looking fast this weekend" again
>>25194it's either that or the Max 5th WDC delusion
>>25197I wonder why this only affects the Brit broadcast.
Is it cuz that one is the defacto "official" one?
Cuz over here, that sorta narrative last year was never present
>>25198Buxton worked for F1TV, not sky.
F1TV is F1 owned, so in the end the job of F1TV presenters is to keep people watching.
Only Palmer and sometimes coulthard don't shy away from being very critical.
>>25199Oh and Buxton is a fake bastard in general.
No wonder he loves dts.
>>25199>>25200I see. In that case, at least he is doing his "job" even if its annoying.
also, nice double dubs
DUN DUN DUN
DUN DUN DUN
I FUCKING HATE CGI TYRES
time for one of the mclels or al-peens to bin it again
with the amount of experience Lando has at this point of his career I would expect better approaches when riding the kerbs, but it's one of those things he seems to keep missing every race weekend
Even the Williams
I like the new captcha

>>25241Why was Merc so bad today
Good afternoon, my fellow racists.
I’m the anon that ripped and upscaled those F1 Reviews back at the end of 2023, if people even remember that. I usually don't pop in here often but I know that some anons stayed here after 4chan came back online so I wanted to bring this up here as well.
During the last couple years I thought about bringing back the AngelThump stream, at least in some shape or form (side note: I’m not the anon that ran the original stream, which he took down at some point).
I had some time to spare so I finally decided to set one up and have it run 24/7 (at least in theory):
https://angelthump.com/gimihttps://angelthump.com/gimihttps://angelthump.com/gimiWhat you can expect:
>24/7 stream of the F1 Reviews from 1990-2009 (with the possibility of adding more reviews and additional F1 video content in the future, I’m taking suggestions)>possibility of racing-related movie nights (films like Rush, Days Of Thunder etc.) if people are interested>the stream going down randomly and not coming back online for prolonged periods of timeWhat you should NOT expect:
> live streams of race weekends (too much of a headache), just use some of the other countless streams availableWhen you open the stream, give it a bit to get past the initial buffering. AngelThump is not Twitch or YouTube and it's ran by like one guy.
Feedback (does it run well for you, suggestions, etc.) is greatly appreciated.
>>25244Cool effort germanon, if i may suggest, can't you include just full old races at random? Or is that riskier for copyright?
>>25241AM wants me to believe. I must not fall for it…yet
>>25245It's definitely possible but I don't know if I wanna do that. Personally, I like the Review format more because it condenses a lot of the more boring races into a more digestible format. Secondly, I'm autistic about quality and I don't have a good source for the full races in good quality. Do you?
>>25244I have your f1 review files saved on my pc.
Thanks again for those.
I might check the stream sometime
Did you guys catch that ps3 stiff knob joke?
Penalty status for Ferrari?
>>25251We're talking about ps3 here.
>>25244Thanks for this, anon. Now I'll have one more thing to watch during non-race days
>>25244you're a cool guy, thank you for your hard work
gimi
>>25232>2 weeks of max has a chance if everything goes perfect and mclaren somehow messes up>2 weeks of ps3 and lando need to step up their game before it's too lateEveryone forgot to include Ferrari doing Ferrari things in the equation.
>>25260Nothing ever happens.
>"He never goes to 101%, but he will always be at 100%, and when he has a bad day he is at 99%.>"And it is hard to beat someone who was born into an F1 seat. If I could go back and choose how to be a better driver, I would also have a mum and dad who were racing drivers, start when you are a baby in the paddock, start karting at whatever age he did and do more testing than everyone else.>"I would be a better driver now if I did all of those things. So people have to catch up because he was made to be in the position he is now, but he is also making the most of that and that is why he has four world championships."https://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/46475295/lando-norris-almost-impossible-good-max-verstappenLando was around Max when they were kids and likely witnessed first-hand how tough it was, how hard was Jos on him, etc
he sounds bitter, maybe because his "promised" WDC is not safe at all after all
>>25265He does praise Max as one of the best but he just can't stop himself from throwing in some underhanded comment to excuse himself.
Mclaren needs to hire someone to teach him how to speak better, otherwise the interview after Ps3 wins the WDC will be very pathetic.
>It's just luck>It was easier for Oscar>It doesn't matter, I don't carealso, best girl
F1 Academy time
time for fp3, is it representative of anything? no, so lets see some foking cars in the wall

>SonofLawno way he makes it to Quali right?
>alpeen
Looks like quali will be interesting
>>25280good, get that settled so we can see them actually race each other
>>25281All year he seems super out of it/zoning out
during every FP he gets bashed by other drivers since he just casually starts crusing for no reason and never leaves space.
Surely the astons are set for the night conditions, right? This can't be their true pace.
>>25285>Literally sped up at multiple points>No actionyeah ok FIA
>>25286This are good news for Bortoleto and Nico.

Oh wow they didn't screw peoples laps for no good reason for once.
alpine's 100 race plan status?
>>25320Starting again in 2026
Stroll is the unluckiest driver ever, according to himself.
marshals do it for free so it's okay
I wonder why didn't gasly steer to the right and then to the left to try and slowly get inside the escape path. Sure, the steer was heavy but the slower you go the lighter it feels.

>>25347kino, it's fucking happening
Toto give that boy a contract.
PS3 in front of NOR, all that matters.
>norris impeding
Papaya rules?
>>25378Still not a real boy btw.
>>25379Did he impend or got impeded?
>>25381impeded Max, he just said so in the interview
>>25381Possible impeding of Max's last lap
>not oscar
lmao
>>25383>>25382Please get a grid punishment or something
Max does look mad now
>>25378DC said its because of the heat
It will be remembered.
So it was norris who impeded?
Damn Hadjar was mad
>>25391'Tis the season, a bit early.
I wonder if Max is pissed at Lando for the stuff that was said in this interview
>>25279didn't even say his name, just "not Oscar" lmao
>>25397quoted the wrong post award, it was here
>>25265
>>25397Maybe, I'll wait for the post qualy interviews to see if he calmed down.
>>25398Eh i doubt he is thinking about any of that stuff after just going trough quali.
Probably just thought he missed his shot a pole.
>>254042 positions for yugi, let's go.
>>25407Made his own tyre changes too?
Williams engineers and Vowles looking worried.
So, have Aston Martin fans finally stopped falling for it?
Towriss and Lowdon spotted.
>>25407>uppercase initialsFunny how they try to do greentexting but fail at it.
Rumour: Albon and He have adopted Furrari (the baku cat)
Max and gorg out in T1
ps3 wins
>>25415hopefully it will fare better than Formulino
>it will be remembered
I hope that means Max will kamikaze Norris to make Piastri the champion if he's out of the contention
>>25422better plan - Max wins and Goblando crashes into Luis
Sharl apparently tried a meme setup and it backfired hard.
>>25424I mean at this point why not try
>>25423Max is a good sport. He will try but knows he wont win. A 70+ deficit at this point is almost impossible.
He will Petrov the shit out of Norris in Yas Marina
>>25425I watched a video of a guy that drew a parallel between Kimi in 07 to Max now, and the main point from that is that Kimi had a bigger percentage of points to cover, relative to the scoring system, than Max has now, and he still managed to win.
So, even if 70 looks impossible, it's still within the real of possibility and gimi did it.
>>25426Forgot to mention, a similar gap of points considering the same amount of races left in the championship.
The new wap front page sure looks nice.
>>25426Fair, but Kimi lucked out for the fact he had HAM and ALO trying to kill eachother every race, Massa as a team mate that could front run and help him unlike TSU.
VER has to win the next 5-6 races which i can totally see him doing, but also pray ps3 barely scores points, which is the harder part
>>25429Even if PS3 and Norris don't go at each others throats, they themselves have skill issues that Max doesn't. We might not see it yet, but I'm sure the pressure is building up inside the team week after week.
>VER has to win the next 5-6 races which i can totally see him doing, but also pray ps3 barely scores points, which is the harder partTo quote Murray, "Anything can happen in Formula 1, and it usually does"
So when Norris is behind 30 points last year all the pundits where pulling the brakes on the hype train and saying there never was a title battle but when amx is 70 points behind they go all in on the hype?
Curious.
>>25428funny how >we have way more posts than any other board
>>25430Yes, but when that's a very low chance, it's typically not a good idea to get your hopes up.
>>25431Max intimidates any driver more because he actually has the skill to pull off some crazy comeback, as hard as it is.
Norris never had a chance.
>>25432the most posts by far.
Makes sense when the other boards are mostly slow with effort posts while we spam amx amd in the live threads.
>>25434I'm honestly glad that this place exists. It's super comfy and i appreciate how figamin listens to feed back and also does fun stuff like the little events, radio, etc.
>>25432our posts are low in substance, this is a containment board after all
>>25435Agreed, i don't miss the old site at all.
Would be cool if a couple more (quality) people moved here though.
>>25426Can you please post the video? Sounds interesting.
>>25429>but also pray ps3 barely scores pointsThere are 7 races left, plus 3 sprints. Let's assume for simplicity that amx and ps3 score the same points over the 3 sprints and set them aside.
If amx wins and ps3 gets 3rd place on each of the 7 races then amx would gain 70 points over him and win the wdc, and I wouldn't exactly call 15 points per race "barely scoring points".
What I mean with this is that the chances are low but very real, and it won't take a miracle.
superb quali session, goblin always exposes himself in tough tracks

Does any of you have racesim at home or at least a steering wheel?
>>25443I had a steering wheel in 2002 when i used to play NFS:Porche on my PC.

PS3 is mad as fuck lmao
Ps3 was told off multiple times trying to race norris

>>25474>>25475not even trying to hide it anymore
Control the controllables
>>25472Oh I got it wrong. It's ps3 with the wing damage.
Papaya rules for me, not for thee
>>25478norris is the one with the broken endplate, from contact with max
At this rate Zak won't be present at the Australian GP 2026
>yellow flag

another slow pitstop for lando perhaps
everyone will be waiting for the mandatory race weekend Alpine Crash (TM) to pit
>does nothing

PS3 VS NORIZZ RAGE KINO INCOMING
And amx still has a score to settle with norris remember
a car needs to break or someone crash, we need a sc to save this race
>>25483The endplate barely contributes to downforce at all, it's like losing your appendix.
oof that tire
>>25492surely a fine for the team
So, how are "Max can still win" bros doing?
>>25494Fine enough still, this is not the result he needs on average every race but it's pretty close.

I fucking knew PS3 would get a fucking slow pit stop
this shit is so rigged
Are they waiting for a SC for Stroll?
>>25527considering how awful their strategies usually are they might've just forgotten about him
>>25527No, he will cause one
Can someone explain to newbie why they fucked up Piastri pitstop? Why would they rig it for Norris if both of them are in the same team?
>>25530lando is their favored driver, they want him to get more points over oscar
the team championship is already secured
>>25530Because Fat Brown wants Norris to be the champ.
>>25530Piastri is the "number two" driver in McLaren (even if McLaren rejects such labels)
>>25530Don't take the rig accusations too seriously.
Mclaren has some kind of problem with the software used in the equipment for their pitstops. The other driver has had awful pitstops for the same reason.
Max is gaining 0.2 s per lap so far. Maybe something will happen at lap 55.
I hate this circuit so much. What a boring race
>>25536babby will never remember this race
thanks mclaren, I will have a drink

How is hadjar in p10 with a broken car
Yuki help your mate, do it for Big Daddy.
Red Bull, please tell TSU to kamikaze onto Norris
another dogshit weekend for Ferrari
Just taking the 3 blue flags on norris would be big
Hadjar help your mate or you're getting in the second seat
>>25575Stroll is alright sometimes
all it takes is for norris to get a little to close to the wall and fuck his front suspension

Did Ferrari swap cars
>>25581likely, hammo has the softs and the pace to get fake gimi still
>>25582>missed T17nvm lol
Alonso DOD giving this slurper some highlights
well hamilton lost it
what's up with this direction, why bother showing it now
Can't beat dirty air. Yup, not the dirty air. It's too powerful.
Wow those brakes are really gone.

congrats to NARB I guess, those quali laps were mint and he deserved it
>mclel WCC
who cares
>>25591To be fair, he wasn't really exaggerating
also yeah i love how nobody cares about McLel WCC. I hope the post race interview with PS3 is spicy.
shit race
At least Max outscored both mclarens.

>Alonso radio on Hamilton:
>"Oh, fucking hell, man. I cannot believe it. Yeah, he knew it. I cannot fucking believe it, I cannot fucking believe it. I mean, I cannot fucking believe it. I cannot fucking believe it. Is it safe to drive with no brakes? Oh, he should… Yeah, no, no, we are looking to, we agree, we're checking track limits and stuff as well. You see, there's a margin there. Run switch warm-up, mate, run switch warm-up. That is P8 anyway, so good recovery
>Yeah, but this should be fucking P7. I mean, you cannot drive. Yeah, it may well be. Like if you are alone on track. Yeah, I mean, no respect the red flag yesterday, today, free track for them. I mean, maybe too much."

>>25612I remember when Magnussen was getting meatball flags all the time for something as simple as a slightly loose endplate
lol the fake cheers
*jack hammer sounds*
>>25603still no confirmation of an actual penalty but
where he goin
Must've reached the limit on track limit violations at least. Maybe gets a bit extra for driving with no brakes.
>>25616
>>25616no lasting advantage

>>256236 points really don't do much of a difference
>>256246 points aren't bad at all considering everyone was expecting him to finish below the mclels in this very race.
Also, the only reason he got 6 instead of the 10 he needs on average per race is mercedes getting into the mix, which might actually end up helping him in the future if he beats russell while he steals points from mclel.
Everything's still up in the air, even more than before.
>McLaren team principal, Andrea Stella, says that there will be no change in how Norris and Piastri are allowed to race each other now that McLaren have won the Championship:
>"The two drivers were already in condition to race and pursue their aspirations."
>"We will stay in continuity with this approach. Every race, we learn a little bit, finetune but it’s a matter of details."
>"There will be continuity with what’s the pursuit of the Drivers’ Championship. It doesn’t change the approach having won the Constructors’ Championship."
>>25625both mclels need to dnf for Max to have a chance to catch up. not very likely
>>25631Lets hope so.
I like ps3 but if he doesn't start disregarding the team now after everything that has happened imo he doesn't deserve the wdc and probably won't win it.
>>25631Did PS3 say anything about the incident on his post race interview? Or are those not up yet?
>>25633He said, on Sky, that he hadn't seen the TV footage yet, so he wouldn't talk about it, but inside the car he felt the contact. Only that.
>>25633not much was said regarding that, but he was strangely absent from the team celebrations on the podium (Lando is present)
https://x.com/McLarenF1/status/1974861754623775024
>>25635All he needs to do now is stop fucking up in quali and fuck Papaya rules bullshit
>>25627Nah, there's no need for the mclels to DNF (although it'd help a lot, of course).
amx has 63 points to recover in 6 races and 3 sprints, so if for example he gains 10 points over ps3 per race and 1 per sprint he's got it.
>>25638But we are talking meters here
>>25639or miles, because America next
>>2563710 points more than ps3 is still alot, max needs to win and oscar can't get higher than 3rd. Results like yesterday are not good enough.
Then you add in sprints which makes it even more difficult since it's only 1 point per position.
Having max win a 5th WDC, from an underdog position no less, would be huge, but it's so unrealistic at this point. We need to have a repeat of 07 or 16 with internal issues at mclel or 09 with a lack of performance in the last few races.
>>25641what is he even talking about? Max has outperformed mclel in the last 3 races but they were dominating before that, hell if norris hadn't dnf'd during zandvoort they'd have 5 1-2 finishes in a row.
They were still fast yesterday, norris would've passed max on any other circuit (or if he was a better driver).
>>25643Look at the date anon.
>>25646Even the BR narrators commented on how awful it was. Like when Hamilton actually overtook Antonelli for a few moments. They didn't show shit.

New captcha (it's more difficult because the old one got bruteforced).
Hopefully you know at least some of the characters
Ok, it works on my end now. I was getting a captcha loading error
Turns out I can only post from my phone. I still get the error on my computer.
>>25652Should work if you force refresh
>>25653Thanks, it works now.

Thank fuck i got Izayoi on my captcha.
>>25666Git gud, Touhou is like metal slug, you can keep trying with infinite continues.
>>25648But he still wasn't on the podium celebrating with the rest of the team right?
>>25669according to Edd's The Race it was FIA/Liberty's fault - the WCC celebrations were rushed and Lando was already there because of the podium ceremony while Piastri was still in the media pen
>>25666Nah satan-kun, eraTohoTW is a text-based comfy life simulator. You're an outsider who ended up in gensokyo and you've got time-stop powers with which you can do anything. Even raping the hus, although romancing them is much more satisfying. It's some great fun, though it can be very addictive for the first few weeks.
That said, it's normal for you to suck at bullet hell games, because everyone does at first. The important thing is to have fun when playing them. If you're not having fun, that's fine, they're not for everyone. If you are having fun, just keep playing at least once per week and you'll get better and better until you can get a 1cc on all of them without much trouble.
To get kinda back on topic, I was surprised to find out today that Porsche will be leaving the WEC next year. They were looking like a staple of the championship.
https://www.the-race.com/endurance/major-wec-blow-porsche-announces-hypercar-exit/Also, it looks (as I feared) that red bull have been spending too much time focusing on improving this year's car compared to next year's.
https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/red-bull-f1-2025-progress-surprising-cost/Then again, that's what they also did on 2021 and we all know how 2022 went. Though that might have been mainly thanks to nuii. Aston Martin WCC next year?
>>25672> I was surprised to find out today that Porsche will be leaving the WEC next year.The fuck? They were pretty successful, no?
I swear, German manufacturers are so schizophrenic sometimes
>>25672>>25673It was expected after their financial reports came to light earlier this year.
https://uz.kursiv.media/en/2025-07-28/porsches-operating-profit-plummets-by-91-in-second-quarter/That and you can add the BoP complaints, and the fact that Porsche-Penske were aiming for a win at Le Mans, like Ferrari, which never happened.

>The sense of a team where nothing works anymore is disturbing: Leclerc points the finger at the car, Hamilton at the team (division of departments, procedures, work protocols). The technicians are struggling, and Vasseur has reached the sixth month of reading the apologies: among the usual references to "good race pace," "untapped potential," and "failure to execute," on Sunday he said that "Lewis was fantastic, but he pushed so hard that he overheated the brakes." In short, Ferrari's flaw is its excessive perfectionism, already cited after the double disqualification in Shanghai.
>Even among the technicians, there are those who resent Leclerc for his unsparing criticism of the car and its management. Charles was forthright on Sunday night: "Mercedes has made great strides, just as Red Bull had a few races ago, but we haven't. Under these conditions, it's difficult to be optimistic and think the situation can change in the final GPs."
>>25675>"are we building a shit car? no, it's leclerc that's wrong"chuck should nuke maranello from orbit
>>25675I just want to see happy lec again, lets hope Ferrari is a title contender next year (lol)
>>25681The FIA has a fucking Senate?
>>25681I hope the rumors of the private investigation on MBS turn out to be true and something comes up so he can be replaced. This is ridiculous.

>Yet on the flip side, some fans have voiced their irritation online that Lewis Hamilton’s late brake issue, with Fernando Alonso closing in, was completely missed in the television coverage. Similarly, Sainz’s charge from the back of the field to 10th was also largely absent from the broadcast, in an otherwise largely uneventful latter phase of the race.
>"It's becoming a bit of a trend, which must have worked for them once upon a time, when people found it interesting to see our girlfriends, to see famous people on TV, the reactions,"
>>25687He also talked shit about Pato. I knew it was near impossible to have him in F1, but Zak was revealed to be so much scummier than I previously thought.
Not like we can tell every other Director/CEO isn't the same, the piranha club is a thing after all.
>>25689The craziest of news to wake up to. I guess Toyota is inching closer to acquiring Haas or getting their own F1 entry.
>>25690I would be happy seeing Toyota in F1 again. Their stint was kinda fun back in the 00's
>Alex Palou: "In June 2023 I contacted and had a conversation over the phone with Helmut Marko"
>"Helmut was open to me driving for them [Alpha Tauri], and asked for the conditions of my McLaren release"
>"Zak [Brown] had directly called Helmut, and apparently Helmut had told Zak he was not interested anymore"
>"I don’t know what happened in that conversation, but for sure it didn’t help because suddenly Helmut was not interested anymore…"
>No formula this weekend when i dont have any other plans
>Formula next weekend when im busy with other plans
Also new captcha sucks, now i need to figure out names for these anime characters. Now need to change from Firefox back to Chrome just to use google image search

>>25671Compared to that text adventure thing you linked a bullethell game doesn't seem too daunting.
What is the most entry level touhou game available on steam?
>>25698Uh, there's a billion.
ZUN (Touhou's creator) basically lets people do whatever the fuck they want with his franchise, including making and selling games without him getting a cent, as long as they credit him as creator.
Here's a few i can recommend
>Koumajou Densetsu (Castlevania SOTN clone)>Touhou Luna Nights (Really good 2d platformer game, overwhelmingly positive on steam if you don't believe me)>Touhou Fracture transience (Smash bros clone)If you want ACTUAL official and bullet hell games, these are the most forgiving ones, also on steam:
>Phantasmagoria of Flower View>Mountain of Faith>Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (This is the classic one everyone knows about)Enjoy Anon.
>>25698You mean out of the official bullet hell games? Steam has the games from 9 to 20, but 9 is an unconventional VS game, 10 is easy but frustrating for beginners (because using a continue makes you restart the stage from scratch), and from 11 to 15 they're all among the hardest in the series. I think I can recommend 16 (
https://store.steampowered.com/app/745880/Touhou_Tenkuushou__Hidden_Star_in_Four_Seasons/) but I haven't played it yet (starting it this very sunday) so I'm not sure it's that easy.
It would be better if you grabbed the all-in-one pack at nyaa.si and played either the 4th game (my best recommendation for starting out) or the 6th game, which is kinda hard but very straightforward. Or you can just man up and start from the 1st game (which is a sort of arkanoid clone mixed with bullet hell, fun once you get the hang of it) for the full chronological experience.
Also, if you want try a comfy and relaxing fangame, I can recommend Mystia's Izakaya, cheap as fuck too.
Don't expect any actual difficulty, just a nice story.
There's also the fighting games, which are spinoffs but count as official.
>>25699>also on steam:>>Embodiment of Scarlet DevilAnon please.
>>25700Thats not on steam?
Yeesh, my bad.
>>25701It's k.
Yeah, it's probably the game you'd expect to be on steam the most, but ZUN said he lost the source code for all the games before 9, which is why PoFV is the first game in the series that's up on steam.
It kinda sounds like bullshit, since I doubt you need the source code to just slap the steam dll and run a game through the steam client, but maybe he does need to prove he made the game and his history doesn't count.
>>25700>>25699Thanks guys, I'm gonna download that collection from nyaa and try out the games you recommended.
>>25702Whats bizarre to me is that theres 0 reason to not have the source code for that game. I'm sure Touhou fans can just do a recompile like so many other larger games have.
anyways, not to derail the thread further.

Is Lando Nowinz the Damon Hill of the 20s?
>>25706Highly likely that'd be the case if he ends up winning.
>>25706Kinda, but he's even less deserving of a WDC.
Kwabmon was an average-good-ish driver and only won because of a really good car and schumi switching to ferrari, but he did put all the effort he could into winning the WDC.
Meanwhile Lando is an average-good-ish driver who could win because of a really good car but publicly admitted he's not even trying.
>>25712I wonder if Russell could race for Ferrari in the future.
>>25712he's getting a one year contract
>>25715>The only thing that helped was to concentrate on my breathing with Lewis breathing down my neck.Quite a few fujoshi must have run circles with this line.

It was never over.
>>25719>"On the car, there are new aerodynamic regulations and it’s difficult to say"It's all still in the air then.
>>25721Aero is definitely the one thing I can trust RB not to fuck up majorly, even without nuui.

>>25728Migg did an IndyCar test today. More rumours about Ferrari falling apart.
>>25720I tend to forget that Haas is an american team
>>25730Yeah the colors and name makes one think of a german team or something
>Writing his perspective in his new book Notes from the Pit Lane, Sky F1 reporter Ted Kravitz recalled how Russell aimed to get back at Verstappen after labelling the four-time champion a “bully”.
>At the Qatar Grand Prix, Verstappen received a grid penalty after Russell took avoiding action during qualifying, describing the incident as “dangerous”.
>Verstappen snapped back at Russell, stating after the race that he lost respect for the Mercedes driver for “how he tried to force a penalty on me”, suggesting Russell presented himself very differently when the cameras were not pointed at him.
>Kravitz detailed that Russell approached him in the TV pen on Thursday at the Yas Marina Circuit and asked him to ensure he fleshed out the situation in the interview.
>“A week after Qatar, when Russell arrived at the Abu Dhabi track, he was in no mood to let the Verstappen situation lie,” Kravitz wrote.
>“I’d spent the day interviewing drivers at the TV pen, but hadn’t yet heard any earth-shattering stories.
>“A minute before his time slot, up strode George. He called me over to the edge of the pen – ‘make sure you ask me a follow-up question’.
>“‘What do you mean?’ I asked. [He replied] ‘I’m going to give it back to Max. I’ve had enough of him bad-mouthing me in the press, and I’m going to call him out on his bullying tactics.
>“I know you’re only supposed to ask me one question, but never mind that, I’m up for as many questions as you like’.
>>25732This could've been a bit based if that year had been a Max v George title battle, but considering how things played out, this makes NARB look like a real cheat.
>>25732>>Kravitz detailed that Russell approached him in the TV pen on Thursday at the Yas Marina Circuit and asked him to ensure he fleshed out the situation in the interview.Kek, what a bitch.
Uuuh question, can PS3/Lando do a Senna/Prost thing on the final race, or do the rulesets prevent it? I think Villeneuve vs Schumi already had that right
What i mean is, crashing into each other on purpose during the final race to secure the WDC
>>25735The ruleset very much prevents it nowadays. amx was warned about it right before abby dabby 21, for instance.
>>25733>>25734NARB was always a snake, wasn't this around the same time he said Max was screaming and swearing in the stewards' room and Crofty denied that ever happened live during a broadcast?
Slimy Ted is also a cunt, if he considers himself a real journalist then he's basically admitting he broke his integrity to help out a driver, pretty stupid thing to admit if you're still active, save that shit for your memoirs post retirement my guy
>>25737Yeah, it's not really surprising from NARB, just funny to hear how he went to that extent to try and paint amx in a bad light.
Ted calling him out is just the icing on the cake, and proves once again how retarded both of them are.
never thought I'd miss him this much
>>25739somehow it feels longer and short than that at the same time
>It's race week but i cant watch because im spending all weekend with girl
Sad
>>25742Just ask your mom to watch the race with you.

>F1 | Audi: The 2026 Power Unit Will Be More Powerful Than Expected
>The four-ringed manufacturer is preparing for its F1 debut in 2026 with a power unit that will generate power halfway between a combustion engine and an electric motor. According to rumors filtering through the paddock, the Neuburg engineers have surpassed the 400 kW mark with the combustion engine, reaching over 540 horsepower.
>Germans have broken through the 400 kW barrier with their internal combustion engine, reaching over 540/550 horsepower, while the highly regarded Mercedes PU is credited with 420 kW, or around 571 horsepowerAudi/Sauber won't be too shabby next year. Hoping for a meme win for Hulk or Bort
>>25746>Has Button got any hopeI would say so lmao. Hindsight is funny.
>>25744Impressive, very nice.
Now let's see their electric motor's power figures.
>>25739It's comfy here.
>>25744If Audi were to get some wins next season, would people be ok with them or call them out for cheating?
>>25750Pretty cool, though I can't see a reason for the equation soup.
>>25752>BLUE AND WHITE WILLY AGAINI'M SO HAPPY. PLEASE JUST USE THIS FOREVER AAAAA
>>25753>disguising themselves as mclarensClever.
>>25757Blue is great.
Blue and pink is alright.
Blue and yellow is pretty good.
Blue, pink and yellow is an eyesore.
>>25758The placement of the yellow is also really bizarre. I know it's for Franco but, it feels so out of place. Like they were forced to include it somewhere.
>>25759It is yeah, but I think that's also caused by the pink highlights. Painting other parts of the car yellow would have made it look even more of a color salad.
>>25760Yeah the BWT pink ruined every car it touched so far imo.
Alpeen actually looked great when it just had the french flag colors and mostly blue.
>>25758they could've went with a full renault throwback, but no, we need to appease all the sponsors at the same time
>>25762A 00's renault throwback would have been great yeah.
Although there's no use in crying over a backmarker that won't be even shown on camera during the race, I guess.
>>25750I fuckin' love science!

>>25766The year of Cheating
>>25766>once again teams will try to make their engines as powerful as possible since they can improve the reliability midseason with no penaltiesGood, hopefully we'll see some more exploding engines like on 2022.
>>25768Using a new livery after getting a podium after so long would be nice. Williams and Sauber should've done it.
>>25770Out of curiosity, which Sauber livery was the best one, out of all the ones they did?
The BMW one is a given but that's just reusing the Willy one.
The 2010 one is super nice i think
>>25771Yeah the 2010 livery could've worked, as long as the green is minimal.
>>25772Make the green the red parts.
>>25777ill believe it when i see it on track
>>25774Hadjar will get the call and he can't say no.
Hopefully the new regs mean the car will be more friendly to drive.
So next year Sauber ceases to exist, right?
Big F
>>25784Sauber does this shit alot. They are always cheeky about it though.
Remember BMW and Alpha Romeo for example?
>>25785I thought the naming of the team wouldn't include Sauber this time
>>25785I thought the naming of the team wouldn't include Sauber this time

T1 chaos is all but guaranteed this weekend
>>25847Speaking of, does anyone know if on this track the odd or even row has the better part of the track for starting?
Last race the part for the even row was terrible, dusty and with a lack of rubber, to the point that everyone lost at least one place right after starting (except amx, whose softs helped at least prevent that).
>>25848The inside line has the advantage, so P2 is always superior on the start. You can check it on the previous years. That said, it's Norris vs Max start, so don't expect Norris to win that one.
>>25849Damn, this does mean there's a risk they'll crash into each other.

>>25853>Using 2009 car renderss-soul…
>>25849>>25850Yes inside line has big advantage, which has also led to some chaos.
Is the grid lineup based on the way that track goes? If it's clockwise pole is on the left, and on counterclockwise tracks its on the right?
If this isn't something mandated by regulations then they ought to change it, pole should never be a "disadvantage".
>>25856Anon, in short, P2 has the inside line.

>>25948And he was actually born in the US, unlike Andretti.
>>25947>>25948>>25949I always forget, I just assume he's british due to sharing his last name with Graham Hill
>>25878>>25883holy shit
and damn american races I forgot about the start time so I missed it live
>>25950He's completely unrelated to the infamous mental fatigue man Damon Hill.
>>25947>>25948ding ding ding
>>25953>>25945Looked it up too, Phil Hill won with Ferrari. So extra based
>>25944Must be a day ending in y
It's a bit early, but it'd be a good idea to start baking a thread, if anyone wants to do it.
>stroll 5 place grid penal
Well deserved
i'm gonna try baking it.
>>25957
Ok, i baked one, move when this one runs its limit.
>>25960>>25960First time baking a thread so i hope i didn't fuck up anything.
>>25961thanks brother
>>25963even the race is getting tired of his antics at this point
>>25963Mclaren have been treating this championship like some kindergarten playground. Losing the WDC would be poetic justice.
ruth looking even worse this weekend

HEY HEYYYYY
CAM ON MAX
potential PS3 mental fatigue alert
I don't know about that, Yugi
>>26002I was about to say
i fear he has 0 chance of winning WDC with how shit he has been in the last races
I don't remember but people are saying ps3 had a slump at the end of last year too.
Nobody is improving
>>25999guess they "forgot" to take out the extra fuel out of ps3's car
cheeky Sharl pole it is
Bearman again in Q3
>>26008That p10 in abbu dabby was thanks to amx driving into him.
>>26013>amx driving into himexcuse me, I have it on good authority that it was a "move of a champion"
oh no, NARB is taking it again isn't he

Power move tbh
pole is safu
SIMPLY LOVELY
>>26027He needs to not kamikaze himself tomorrow
>>26029reminds me of when seb was in the pits and got pole
Just as planned(keikaku doori)
>>26029could've saved that fresh set though
>>26027>>26032alternatively, neither of them do well and max gains some points on both of them
Poles in 2025
>Verstappen: 7
>Piastri: 5
>Norris: 4
>Russell: 2
>Leclerc: 1
If amx has a big points swing tomorrow i just might start to believe.
>>26041I am now fully convinced Oscar is not going to make it, it's going to be between Norris and Max - if so, a 33 point swing is not impossible with how things are going
Paraphrasing Helmut
The pole was possible because this is a happy Max that got it, not an angry Max.
Users of the bald cartoon man site tried to raid us. Took about 5 mins to fully clean up, no actual damage.
Surprisingly this board was entirely ignored, probably because it dosen't show up in the overboard.
forgot my tag
>>26045Yesh, that sucks. Thanks for the swift work anyways
>>26045They're posting gore now.
Sucks that you have to put up with this.
>51 users in the last 10 minutes
>>26044Good morning, figamin. Man, that sucks, hopefully they'll go away quickly.
>58 users in last 10 minwhoa, what did you do?
>>26051that image is perfect, makes it look like ps3 just torpedod norizz
>>26054Today will be my day, if PS3 doesn't podium
>>26054I never doubted, but I keep falling for the aston glory runs.
>>26054I'm trying not to get my hopes up but max and mlcaren are making it difficult.
>>26052>those guys who tried to raid yesterday got filtered by the captcha (kwab)>figamin made a tweet making fun of them which got people to check out wap.
>>26057>those guys who tried to raid yesterday got filtered by the captcha (kwab)lmao
>figamin made a tweet making fun of them which got people to check out wap.I like you figamin but that was a stupid move.
>>26054no, I don't dare.
better to expect nothing and be happy when it goes well, instead of hoping and facing the despair when you realize it's over
>>26058It's kinda playing with fire but it seems some good people found the site so maybe it was worth it.
>>26059The only despair scenario for me is Lando winning WDC, which becomes closer by the day.
I started F1 in 1999 so i didn't get to experience mental fatigue man winning his title.
I don't wish to experience it.
>>26054I am but it's going to hurt when it won't happen
also, someone made a results simulator, have fun:
https://ver5tappen.replit.app/
>>26062>He just has to win every single race left, and PS3 just has to miss P2 twicewtf thats more likely than what i thought
>>26063The funny thing is that after Baku everyone was thinking that PS3 would stay in contention for podiums every race, but right now it seems that he's lost his composure. He's still too green.
Also worth mentioning, Massa's legal trial thingy for the 2008 title begins hearings next week.
The second half of 2024 built up Mclaren as a dominant team, so far only the wcc reflects that.
This year, it's NARB who is trying to prove himself as a championship contender. If the merc engines rumours were to be true, would you accept him as a champion?
>>26065What is he planning to achieve?
>>26066I don't like him but he is a solid driver who doesn't take shit from max, much easier to accept compared to a norizz wdc.
>>26062>>26063winning every race is a big ask, we need at least a dnf and a low point finish for both mclarens for me to consider it a realistic chance.
russel is a wild card who can really fuck things up for max
>>26067getting a title, but..
>nothing ever happens
>>26066while I hate russel and norizz equally but for different reasons, I can respect george. he's a good driver but a sneaky teachers pet bitch.
ps3>>>>russlel>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>norizz
>>26066as previously discussed, George is a big snake and can be quite unlikable at some points - that said, he seems to finally become quite consistent in his performances, he's there to take the podium or a win if anyone ahead makes a mistake, he probably has the talent and the experience to take a fast car to its logical conclusion in the form of a strong season
I wouldn't enjoy it, but I could handle unlike a Norris WDC
>>260672 major things. He wants a monetary compensation since, if he did win the title officially, he argues he would get much better contracts over his career.
Bernie started shitting his pants last week about the hearings so he might have a chance.
Second, he wants to be recognized as an official champion in 2008. Not necessary to remove Lewis's title, but he wants at least both of them to be named champions.
>>26066Honestly, yeah. I don't like NARB but he isn't a pussy. A snake and a scumbag, yes, but not a weak willed spinless drivers
>>26075COTA is a great purpose built racetrack so this is a good thing.
>>26075One of those years CoTA should be raced in reverse.
>>26078>Sprint is better than main racelmao
Less than 30 min for the start.
If Mclel really wants to win this WDC, they should order Norris to T-bone Max.
Oh, my streams are fucking up a bit.
Looks like the spammers are here again.
They didn't find /f1/ yesterday, but it would be better to just ignore them if they do this time around.
Gimi.
Also, refresh those captchas before the race starts!
>>26084Thanks for the warning. I'll turn off auto refresh and stay in the thread.
I fucking hate those people man, i just wanna chill on the race time.
>>26084Also, remember to move to the new thread when we reach the post cap
>>25960>>25960
>>26084and a reminder that we're moving to

I like this ghost riders in the sky sounding song on sky sports

>>26092right, it's the WDC order
LETS SEE SOME FUCKING CRASHES
WE GAAN
>sharl with softs
Shartmericans would lose their mind watching F1 after white trash Nascar races.
>>26096Ferrari masterclass incoming
>>26097Anon those are some choice words, think of the children!
Car Loss complaining about his cooling vest not working properly already
>>26098masterclass in fucking up maybe
There won't be a T1 crash now after yesterday, everyone will play it safe (lowering my expectations)
CHUCK
lecstappenchads, we're eating good today
LET'S GO CHARLES
>alboff the track
not sure those softs were a good idea
alboner has been mentally broken by saar
Points for Yuki are guaranteed
>>26108He got 2nd so they were worth something.
>>26111Ferrari will find a way to pit him into heavy traffic
>>26111and lando is already close to overtaking him, softs will fall off fairly quickly
he could pit early and hope the hards are decent and last forever
Based chuck playing wingman for amx
What I want to know is what were the Bort and Stroll engineers thinking with the soft choice. Early safety car?
>>26113The hards skip a compound this weekend(hards are C1, meds are C3) so they should last literally forever. The bigger problem will actually be the potential overcut or finding a good gap to pit into.
>Alonso/Hulk taking out both McLaren drivers yesterday
>Leclerc Monegasque minister of defense today
always lovely to see the grid's teamwork to help Max get his 5th
>>26115softs make sense when you start far back to gain some some positions early
>black and white flag for is-ACK already
>shartonelli
kimi continues to impress
>shartonelli
also, ocon jumped the start.
saars…
Dang, I'm almost a minute behind
>shartonelli
>kwabjar
>proudy
what are the chances sainz gets penalty points for that?
RUN JANNIE RUN
Sleepy norris
>>26122>no further investigation>>26126very likely
>lando in charge of restarts
>missed the start
These damn start times
Damn, why is Leclerc so fast again. He's actually catching Max and pulled a 2s gap on Norizz.
concerned about my PS3… doesn't have games…
>>26136maybe he was the real mental midget all along
Wtf chuck started on used softs
Norris surely wants a black and white with how he's driving right now
CAM ON LEC
something has to be wrong with ps3's car, or he managing his pace, no way he's this far behind hamilton when norris is catching chuck with softs
overtake doko
Norris has 0 racecraft
>>26124Ok, I missed 20 minutes and it seems like nothing changed. Slurper status?
norris' front left looks to be in trouble
norris engineer has to go on the radio and tell him how to overtake
migrate now
