Verstappen out in Q1, first time on pace alone

Hamilton out in Q2
Sauber managed to fix Bortoleto's car, but couldn't go out to do a lap
Low chances of rain tomorrow
PS3 is losing his chances of winning the championship
Pray for a miracle
Het is voorbij…
>>27166must be grim being Doohan and being the designated reserve cuck, after being dropped still having to come to the races
Thanks for baking.
Mercs are looking strong so maybe norris won't pull away easily this time (he will)
>>27172I rather see them lose some places to do a Hail Mary than leave the car as it was during qualy.
I don't think even max can drag this car to the front in the rain.
At this point amx should just switch to VCARB for the last races

anyways, may ANT nosedive NOR on the first 3 laps or i'm not watching this
DUN DUN DUN

DUN DUN DUN
ready for an exciting opening lap and for lando to drive off in to the distance, it'll be over by lap 15
Maybe Antonelli not going for an overtake on Norris on the sprint will pay off today.
>On softs: Antonelli, Hadjar, Lawson, Bearman, Gasly, Hamilton, Sainz, Bortoleto
>On hards: Alonso, Stroll, Tsunoda, Verstappen
>Everyone else is on the medium compound.
rain status?
>>2719440% risk of rain
(it's not happening)
Do the needfull ant!!
>>27193Let's see if the Hail Mary worked
>>27194In 7 (days)
>>27193ready for everyone to hate the hards
bort….
no…
What a disaster weekend for bort
gabi no
100 million
Good to know that Bort has fucking Rubens tier luck on Interlagos. FUCK
strolled?
Why did Hamilton go straight up the arse of that other chap?
Can't believe the two Brazilian drivers are having a disastrous home race
wait how is tsu behind verstappen? surely he let him past right?
>>2721240 year old elderly veteran driver, please understand
>>27213kek
and it's ending
They're going to retire Hamilton's car later for sure.
NOOOO
>piashit
>PS3
Holy kek
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
>ferrari
chuck…
>>27222can't believe ant took out chuck twice in a season
Not sure if ps3 did anyhing wrong there
>>27227locking up, racing incident I would say
Ok, pitting for a puncture.
If you where wondering it was really over
CAM ON PS3
>ps3 out of drs range
Ok, it's about over now
it's never been so over
just one little spin that's all we need
4 rookies in the top 7
yugi…
Better save this season man
>>27217yeah they might as well do it already
>>27239tsuuuu
>10 sec
okay NOW ITS OVER
>10s penal for PS3
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
PS3… It's over
Might as well stop watching
slurp slurp
The slurping starts now
CAM ON MAX
>>27245>abu dhabi '21don't make that mistake
>>27245Told you it's not fucking worth
at least I am entertained by Max's drive through the field
max on the podium today
Aston Martin again waiting for a safety car
Podium for max would be crazy
>>27254Yeah, that was bad.
>>27254merc pitcrew is just that fast
Praying for Mclaren's pace to fall off any minute now.
>>27258if max has a decent medium left he might be able to challenge them, hards are bad and they have to take them or softs at some point
>failing to serve penal
Yugi… It's mega over.
tsu…
Isack Hadjar, welcome to Milton Keynes!
Alonso pitted. That means that a safety car is around the corner.
>softs for lando
he'll have to stop again then
CAM ON MAX
MAKE LANDO COOK HIS TYRES
wasn't even close
HVLK
>[hards] didn't look too bad on the aston martin
what the fuck? they are actually trying to fuck Oscar over
>>27270shouldn't stallard be able to hear lando's engineer? I understand that the two sides of the garage don't work together but surely the traffic between the two isn't restricted?
Box to the retirement home
PS3 sounds fed up in that radio lol
PS3 is being gaslighted about the strat for Norris to win
There's no way Norris pulls off a 1 stop. He should pit within 3 laps.
I was away for a bit and now max is p2?
slow stop pls
Mclaren aren't making slow pits now…
CAM ON AMX
STOP THE COUNT
Meanwhile tsu
>>27288double penal, double the pain
just needs a little bit more time
rain in __
Ok, at least a podium is possible
>defending this position
it's ogre
Full push amx
Yuki, you're a bout to be lapped. Do the needful
Ok we need a bad stint to the end
>pitlane to podium

Good thing i didn't stop watching.
CAM ON MAX
thank you Max for making this slurping season still watchable
WE GAAN
Show the twink how its done!
tyres are gone
hulk vs lawson ended with hadjar passing hulk
damn, one more lap would've done it
Antonelli has done well. P3 it is
lmao look at that train
well done fake Kimi
Well done qnt
Ant
>wins easily
>complains that the gap isn't big enough
Unbelievable that this kwab will be wdc
>>27320The first champion without the killer instinct!
Predicting Edd rankings as Max P1, Lando P2, Ant P3.
>49 point gap Nor to Max
I don't know if it still possible.
>>27323Why does it say 19 when he started in the pits
>>27326ocon started behind him in the pits
>>27325Let it go man. Unless ps3 and nor take eachother out its 100% over.
>>27327I see
It would be a miracle if he's within 25 point in abbu dabi and at this rate same applies to piastri.
I'm hearing boos
>booing
heh
>Kimi Antonelli has broken Lewis Hamilton’s record for most points in a rookie season (Antonelli 122 in 2025
Hamilton 109 in 2007*) *different point system
>Max Verstappen is the first driver to drive from the pit lane to the podium since Lewis Hamilton at the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix
>Max Verstappen becomes the driver who has finished on the podium from the most different positions in the history of Formula 1 (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, P10, P14, P15, P16, P17, P18, P20, Pit Lane)
>Lando Norris is the first driver in F1 history to take his first 11 wins at 11 different circuits - Michael Schumacher is the only other driver to record his first 10 wins at 10 different tracks
if they boo him im legally becoming a sopafren
>>273305 races now where ps3 hasn't made it to the podium, he'll really make that gap. what a fumble
>>27334>(P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, P10, P14, P15, P16, P17, P18, P20, Pit Lane)gotta complete that sheet
>>27336The imo unfair penalty did screw him over today but he wasn't going to win.
theory: Lando started eating before races
Not a single mention of the booing by Sky pundits so far. How curious…
>>27342do people like "Ben" not watch replays before making these articles?
how is it even possible to look at that situation and think leclerc is somehow at fault for ant not giving space?
Ps3 locks up before the corner and THEN ant squeezes him. feels like a punishment based not on intent/action but the outcome.
skysports, croft specifically felt it was "lenient", meanwhile in singapoor they had nothing to say about norris hitting both max and ps3 in t2
>John Elkann lashes out at Leclerc and Hamilton: “They should talk less and focus on driving. Ferrari needs drivers who think less about themselves and more about the team.”
shut up and drive

>>27349I was going to say bearchild deserved to climb a spot or two but the sprint wasn't as good
>>27352the message is that interlagos is a good circuit
>>27355It's a small world inside F1.
>>27360I bet it'll be the livery reveal
>>27360To be fair, this year is fucking over, might as well think of the next
>>27361>Actual blue againOne can hope
>>27360You know from this sight the RB logo does look like Goatse
In other news, Audi F1 team should reveal something in a few hours.
>>27366Man that looks nice. Do you guys prefer the old Blue, the 2013 Purple or the current black?
also apparently Audi is showing their livery in 4 hours or something
>>27367Blue is good, the darkest shade in the last years is nice, but I still think of red bull as bright red, blue and yellow.
I want to see Audi's livery and the driver's suit that they also teased.
george has something to say
>P4 in Brazil 🇧🇷 Strong points for the team this weekend and a well deserved podium for Kimi, good job mate. Coming out the weekend back in P2 in the Constructors’ is a nice win for us too. Only three more races left, more racing soon 
no pictures because no thanks
>>27372Close enough, welcome back Migga's McLaren
I like this alot
>>27371I like the colors, but not the way it changes with the vertical line on the engine cover. It might just grow on me later.
>>27374I do think the renders look bad, but irl it does look cool. Also, depending on the ads/sponsors, it might get a couple extra pops of color.
>>27372
Checo is going to do a TPC with the SF-23 on Thursday and Friday. I kinda feel bad for Bottas, he'd only be free from merc until january.
>>27376that's what he gets for signing with the great satan again
he did get to do testing with Merc and McLaren this year though

>>27385>>27385YES!!
PAINT PAINT PAINT THOSE CARS
>>27385>55 per cent of the car’s surfaceSounds like a nothingburger to me, I'd be surprised if any of the current cars were below that.
Good on them for not allowing teams to make things even worse, though.
>>27387Its for next year with the new regs.
I remember Alpeen and willy barely using any paint at the start of 2022.
>>27385>>27389They should've ruled a specific minimal volume or weight of paint to be applied to the car too.
>>27392Yeah i'm missing this gp completely. The time for it is not ok. Race is gonna be at 3am, fuck that shit
>Pirelli enforces maximum stint lengths for Qatar GP due to tyre wear concerns.
>25-lap maximum for each set of tyres, meaning the race will be (at least) two stops.
Now that I'm looking into it. RB had issues with their rear wing last year. Do you think they'll bring a good update this year?
>>27397This is your fucking fault
>>27389. What a shit livery.
>>27400Special liveries and helmets dont really feel that special when they keep having them so often
>>27400Special livery for the gambling capital of America, but not for Brazil? Audi better set the record straight next year.
>>27395They should let the teams figure this out themselves.
wow these are all really bad lol.
I barely noticed the Alpeen was different
>>27406>Carlos Sainz to RBR next yearDamn, leaks are getting nuts.
Why do they hype up Vegas as if it wasn't one of the most uninteresting circuits
>>27408F1 paid a lot of money themselves to build the track and the paddock buildings and they want their money back
>>27410I'll try to slowly adjust my wake-up hour in the days leading to the race, but if I fail then it will be no big deal.
>>27410I'll be on the afternoon/night shift at work those days, so I'll get to watch FP1 and FP3 at ease. FP2, Quali and Race will take hours off my sleep.
>>27410im a profesional neet vroomer so yes i will

Less than 2 hours for FP1
>>27425It's a mystery
>>27424This will be fixed later today, just an issue with configuring anubis for non cloudflare use on my end
I might make it to fp1 at this point, i have tomorrow off so why not.
>>27427No worries and thanks for the hard work figamin.
Oh yeah, there's F1 Academy this weekend too. I guess I'll watch that too.
Mclaren has trimmed their front and rear wings. They might be a little desperate.
I'm rooting for ANT win

>>27512>NOR pole>PISS P5Yay………………..
At least Lewis's depression arc continues to be funny.
And maybe a cheeky Williams podium again would make me happy.
>>27518I almost feel sorry for the guy, but then remember he knew exactly what he was signing for.
>>27519Eh, can't really feel sorry for him.
Like you said, it was kinda his own arrogance.
The guy is already a 7 times WDC, rich as fuck, influent and respected by alot of people. He could have retired after recognizing his best phase was behind him.
But nope, he really wanted to win a 8th WDC on a Ferrari (Imagine the articles comparing him to Michael in specific), probably thought the team would be head and heels over him, do everything he says and knowing Lewis has a bit of an ego, legit thought he would succeed where others failed.
You might argue part of what i'm saying is baseless conjecture, but remember the initial statements by him during the start of the year, and how cocky he was.
I think this year served to remind us that Lewis isn't and won't ever be the GOAT, because when he wasn't in a comfortable position, he unperformed greatly, unlike some others candidates.
Hell, fucking Vettel had podiums on Asston Martin
>>27521NOR crash please please please
>>27521>>27522better learn the rain dance with me then

>>27584Nice win all around.
>>27585I thought that the rumours were that Newey wouldn't like to work with him again.
>>27576vegas delivers kino yet again
shit race though
death to McLaren
With the mclaren kwab i almost forgot ANT driving a amazing race and Bort having another awful weekend.
Qatar is supposed to be a Mclaren track but one can hope the combination of the forced 2 stop and plankwear anxiety will hold them back.
I also recall Ferrari pace imploding after their plank dnf earlier this year.
>>27592yeah, I'm so used to bort doing well and ant being underwhelming .
unfortunate for ant to not get to stand on the podium.
>>27593yeah hopefully mclaren will be forced to run the car higher to avoid excess plank wear and thus lose performance
but it's a sprint weekend so a bit of a gamble for the teams to figure out the correct setup.
>>27593I don't think the porpoising will be as big of a problem in Qatar or Abu Dabadoo, but who knows
imagine we get a Qatar 2023 but with the McLaren's instead, the possibilities are endless and hopium is at an all-time high
>>27592Yeah, Antonelli has been great this last races. Overall, a good season for a rookie, if he keeps it up he'll be ROTY easily.
>>27595I'll have to rewatch 2023 and 2024 Qatar to try to make an accurate prediction because of the tyre situation. 2023 was a 3 stop race, while 2024 had multiple incidents that affected the tyre strats.
I don't think there's any realistic result that leads to Max-PS3-Nor ending up within 10 points or less off each other for Abu Dhabi.
>>27597True. But We never expected this insanity on Vegas, so who knows.
>>27597ps3 has to finish in front of Norris so i could see him pulling another desperate move.
Norris is also weak to pressure like we've seen in T1 today.
But it could also be another slurper where RB gets the setup wrong and norris wins by 20 seconds.
I'm just exited to see what will happen.
I want to believe
>>27601Hollywood should hire whoever wrote this years script.
Max can still win the WDC if he wins everything and Norris finishes 3th and 4th in the races. They'd be tied for points, but Max would get it by number of wins.
>>27599>pulling another desperate movethat would require Piastri starting anywhere near the front, which is not likely
>>27602yeah they'll make F2 The Movie an all timer
>>27603what a fucking ending that would be
>>27603>Norris finishes 3th and 4th in the racesSurely that won't happen. Either Norris wins by a fair margin or something dramatic happens.
Who is going to finish in front of him, the mercs at a track that doesn't suit them, Ferrari (lmao)….piastri?
>>27612>>27612don't forget

>>27623Gabi needs to get a grip for the last 2 GP, I don't want to see him continue this streak of performances.
>>27626Ant and Bort have switched form it seems.
>>27627If they want to actually promote a woman to F1 they need to start putting much younger talent in the cars instead of mid-20 moms.
>>27629If amx hadn't dodged him they would have both crashed. Definitely worth a penalty.
>>27629I respect him finally trying to race amx hard but he chose the wrong moment.
the mature wdc leader thing to do here is to not fight max too hard because all he needed to do was beat piastri. (leaving aside the dsq)
>>27632I looked it up.
>Manuel Avino, President of the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation, says that Madring is 6 weeks ahead of schedule and it'll be done in time>it'll all depend on how harsh the winter is this year>look up videos of madring>everything is 95% dirt and mud because of rain>very few sections have tar, but no asphalt>vlogger says that all asphalt should've been done in october, it's november now>madring circuit should be ready by May 30 at the latest for racing tests to be conducted>madring scheduled to race in september 11 to 13thThere's a slim chance that it'll happen, it might be Korean GP 2.0
>>27633a contingency plan would always be in place just in case, but a few siestas might have to be canceled to get it done in time

>>27639Maybe the 2026 regs are so simple to him that he can spend less time designing and try to be similar to Toto. That or Lawrence is retarded (likely).
>Laurent Mekies has stated that Red Bull will announce their 2026 driver line-up, as well as that of Racing Bulls, “immediately” after the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix.
>>27642Yugibros it might be time to say sayonara.
>>27638Rumours say newey and the current TP don't work together very well so i guess this makes sense. He's also been a race engineer before so its not like this is his first F1 job other than killing air.
>>27638very interested in how they do next year, and also how involved he'll be in the press side of things
>>27640that does make this news extra funny
>>27642surely it's max, hadjar and lawson, linbald
gimi
>>27645>surely it's max, hadjar and lawson, linbaldW-where is Yuki?
I'm feeling confident for Max chances this weekend. Also in a good mood watching Rally and re-reading Eyeshield 21, F1 related because the main character is named Sena (セナ). just like Ayrton.
>McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has claimed the FIA is investigating the possibility of making a rule change following its double disqualification in Las Vegas
>Stella has stated the FIA is exploring the possibility of handing out lesser penalties depending on the scale of the irregularity and the performance gained by doing so
no, fuck off, the car is either legal or not, you can't half-ass that
>>27649>Now that Norris is close, we'll stop doing Team orders.>>27648Nice, i'm playing Half life 1 on my spare time.
>>27653He has the chance to redeem himself and crash into Norris on quali or race.
>>27647>>27653yugi alive in indy
>>27655real rough end of the season run for him
>>27655Just noticed how it was all over from the moment he went PS5.
>>27649If Zak and Andrea really manage to lose the driver's championship by sticking to "the McLaren way of doing things" it might just be the stupidest decision a team has made ever. More so after having 2007 as precedent. Also, what happened to the "we'll support one of our drivers when the math says so" statement they made a few races ago?
>>27651I'll check this one out after I'm done with E21, I always heard good things about it, specially the anime.
>>27657Yuki at indy together with Mick would be crazy. There are still seats up for grabs in this off season, but I don't know if he'd be willing to do ovals.
>>27659>what happened to the "we'll support one of our drivers when the math says so" statement they made a few races ago?I think they're leaving that option on the table by saying ''no team orders in qatar", if ps3 is out in abbu dabbi maybe they'll use him to help norris.
>I always heard good things about it, specially the anime.The anime is good (i've watched it 3 times)
It is just very unfinished with no hope of a S2,
and it doesn't even get to the real starting point of the manga. (it adapts 5 out of 13 vol and stops just before a crucial turning point in the story)
The anime is also CG which can't get close to the unique art of Haruko.

The only alternative i can think of is subscribing to The Race for the member comment section.
That's my backup plan, i guess.

SHARTonelli fucking up and letting Norris pass at the end there gave me Glock/Ham 2008 PTSD

>>28054Ok, Stella just admitted it was to help Lando.
>Stella: "It is a disappointing result overall. We had the potential to win the race with Oscar, and he deserved that. And the podium was available for Lando. So we lost the victory for Oscar and the podium for Lando. So, we need to review the decision we made with the Safety Car.
>"It was a decision not to pit. We did not expect everyone else to pit. When you are the lead car, you do not know what everyone else will do. It would have been a loss to Lando with the double stack, but the decision was due to not expecting everyone else to pit."
shambles of a team really
Papaya rules!
>>28067>When you are the lead car, you do not know what everyone else will do. Well Lando was behind Max so they already knew what 1 car would do
I'm afraid they're going to give oscar team orders if he's in front of Lando next week.
>>28072after what happened today I would say "fuck your papayas" and go full Senna/Prost at Japan in T1
>>28072Oscar's problem if he complies. Weak spine ever since Monza.
Now our hopes, as always, are with Max and him alone.
>>28073He can't do that if he plans to stay with Mclaren.
>>28076obviously, that's what *I* would do
unless Lando finds a wall in the first few laps he's going to just obey the orders
Just want to mention too, Stock car race going on, Nelson Piquet Jr and Felipe Massa fighting for the lead.
Kinda kino.
>Hannah Schmitz: "We'd pit both cars if the SC came out in lap 7. There's such an advantage to pitting under SC when you got to do 2 stops, that was a clear thing for us to do and a lot of people in the pitlane thought the same. On that in-lap we heard McLaren were staying out, everyone was like 'are you sure? are you sure you want to pit?' and I was like 'yeah, I really think so.'"
>>27966I have a bake in the oven
pace is too slow now but it is ready to be fired up when we get to, say, 980
>>28076after this year, would he even want to?
even if they never intentionally sabotaged him there is still clearly a bias towards lando winning the wdc within the team. oscar has to be aware of this and it must be draining going into "work" knowing most of your team don't even want you to win.
personally I would take the gamble, disobey team orders and see what happens. if the bias gets even worse next year as a result of this, call them out publicly, be a shit stirrer and burn it all down.
>>28079I'm sorry I ever doubted you stratmommy
>>28081Mclaren clearly cares a whole lot about
fairness and their internal meme rules.
Breaking those would probably get very nasty.
If he had a clear alternative team to leave for i'd say fuck the papya rules, but does he?

>>28104He might be far from the best driver, but he's certainly not dumb either.
>>28107Kino shot.
>>28113so its true after all
reminds me when someone said something about sussie wolf and (((suddenly))) everyone went muh antisemitism
>>28117>Marko has issued an apology to German publication F1-Insider while a Red Bull team statement stopped short of apologising explicitly.>Comments made before the end of and immediately after the Qatar GP suggesting that Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli had deliberately allowed Lando Norris to overtake him are clearly incorrect," Red Bull said.>"Replay footage shows Antonelli momentarily losing control of his car, thus allowing Norris to pass him.So even rbr says kimi did nothing wrong.
It's crazy to see people wishing for PS3 to commit career suicide in the hypothetical scenario of disobeying team orders and letting Lando through for position to win the championship.
It seems obvious that the mclaren drivers would follow team orders when given to them, as we've seen it multiple times this year, and it must be contractually mandated. So, even if people support Oscar and want to see him in a team that could put him in a lead driver seat, the last thing he should do is disagree with team orders in the last race of the year, and wait out '26 to look for another seat in a different team.
I'm sure Webber and PS3 have had conversations about what to do in such situation and, even if PS3 needs to pull off a Vettel 2010 tier win, they would force Zak to stick to his word of letting them race to the bitter end if necessary.
>>28119He'd know a thing or two about what Max is capable of. Here's hoping that he congratulates Max if he pulls it off.
>>28108Thank you based tugao
>Yuki Tsunoda is set to become Red Bull's reserve driver in 2026, per Shiga Sports Japan. An official announcement should come later today.

>>28130Is this Lindblad guy any good?
>>28130Fucking RIP Hadjar.
Hope Yugi can find some happiness.
Lindblad is gonna suck too
>>28134Super overhyped, he's about as good as Lawson i would say.
>>28127A minute of silence for these young men, fallen in the clutches of the greater satan.
>>28130too soon for hadjar
why even keep lolson?
lindbab is who tier
man what the fuck is wrong with red bull, theres no way amx and a unkown engine are gonna carry them on their own for one year
>>28130rip yugi, you were an ok midfielder
>>28138>lawsonwho would they even replace him with? yuki maybe, but lawson should have some potential to grow, yuki has already peaked.
unless they have a strong engine, rbr is in for a rough season
>>28139iwasa just won supah formula so just kick lolson, keep rbr as it is and make toro rosso hadjar/iwasa
hadjar needs one more year before making the jump, right now he acts like early yugi
>>28138Call me ignorant, but at least Lindblad had a better pace than TSU in Mexico
>>28142Unlikely, the only chance for him is having a good qualy and making an uncharacteristic error against Lando.
>>28142>>28143Unironically it's impossible for Max or PS3 unless Norris Crashes. No way he isn't getting at least a 4th unless he breaks down
So in my mind, PS3 and Max have equal, and very shit chances.
>>28143>>28144I was thinking more about what will happen to him from now on
one thing that comes to mind is that if Norris does win the title Sunday McLaren will probably start to clearly enact 1st/2nd driver priorities next season to avoid getting embarrassed with what happened this season
>>28145I can see PS3 pulling an Alonso and just fucking off from Mclaren once a better window shows up.
Then again, Norris might pull a Damon Hill too.
>>28145Yeah, the way things are going for him it'd be better to look for another team. I was just thinking about it early today.
RB could be an option, but I'm not sure he'd want that. VCARB would be a downgrade
Merc could be another option, but depends if they nail their engine and if NARB wants to stay in.
Ferrari would be a downgrade
Willams shouldn't be an option, and Vowles looks more than happy with his drivers
Alpine, lol no
Audi, a good candidate for a team, but it all depends on their engine dev.
Haas, lol no
Cadillac, lol no
Aston Martin could be the 2nd best option if Stroll is kicked out of the team, or if Fernando quits.

>>28140kicking lawson out now would be too soon imo. he's had 1 season + 11 races as a sub, lackluster results sure, outscored by hadjar sure.
iwasa is no guarantee, and if he sucks then what?
let lawson have another season or at least half a season, then bring in iwasa if the situation is that dire.
