Title: F1 (formula one) thread
Post by: doctorkickflip on October 17, 2022, 12:13:46 PM
As far as I know there is no F1 thread here, which surprises me since all I hear about these days is how incredibly popular it is.

I’ve really enjoyed the season so far, last couple of months have been a little bit of a snooze with the championship being well wrapped up but now that’s over maybe we’ll see some experimenting and interesting racing?

Anyway Austin next week, who ya got?

I'm just hoping for no rain so we get some proper racing this weekend. COTA is a tough track so I'm definitely looking forward to the upcoming race.

I don't root for any driver in particular, but I've been enjoying watching Max rise to the top and be so in tune with his car.

The rain bs pisses me off. Plus they are cutting traditional tracks for parking lots in Vegas etc. Does my head in. Like seriously talking about dropping Monaco! Circuit Paul Ricard was epic, then they also have all these races in Abu Dhabi etc...let alone letting Red Bullshit off with nothing for breaking the budget cap. They blew it at some point.

This will be the second championship Red Bull have cheated i

If they really come out of this without loosing some serious points.. the whole thing is a sham

Max has won it but the battle between Merc and Ferrari is still on

I work in Motorsport (I actually want to get out of the industry...)

F1 (mainly Honda) was the biggest source of stress in my life... its has gotten better as Honda got their act together... but it still sucks.... I wouldn't say Red Bull "cheated"... because they all cheat in one way or another...

Ferrari was their own worst enemy all year..
Mercedes were too radical in their chassis design...
Red Bull/Honda just put a better package together (Plus Max can drive... even though he is a doofus)

Farrari really was a depressing watch this summer. Binotto doing spygate 2.0? Self-sabotage gate?

And yeah I'm not a big Max fan but it's pretty obvious he's very fast. Cost cap or not. I'm happy to see he's stopped wearing flatbrimmed hats. That truly was about 20% of the reason I hated watching him win.

I don't think they'll ever get rid of Monoco, even with it looking miserable to drive the drivers themselves still seem to love it.

Nice thread. I'll be checking in on the regular.

As a Swiss dude, I am rooting for Sauber.

Objectively Max is the best driver atm, but there are good young dudes, Leclerc, Russel, Norris, all have talent. Also that young Aussie dude Piastri must be good. Plus the old experienced lads still going hard, Hamilton, Perez, Alonso, Bottas... All shenanigans aside, I have been enjoying this season.

Monaco hasn't been good in a long time, plus the drivers all say they its one of their least favorites tracks due to the inability to overpass, I also hear Paul Ricard was annoying because of track limits. A lot of the new tracks aren't great either.  Was stoked that japan was back this yr

Red Bull has had a lot of success as a energy drink sponsor, not a fan because they dont make cars or engines.

was plenty happy when Mazespin got the axe this year, and latifi has got to be one of the worst ever, glad he's leaving williams

Goatifi haha. Guess Mick will be getting the boot also...was good to see Haas actually get points this year.

Monaco has to be seen in person, I grew up in awe watching it on telly in the late 80's and early 90's. One of the first things I did when I moved to France was go for a look. So much shit to skate btw but way too much security (well in summer anyways). There is a brilliant 16mm film of the course from the 60's somewhere on YouTube.

Pretty stoked on this thread as non of my mates give a toss about F1. Only got back into it cause this chick I was seeing last summer is super into it and always asked me to watch it with her.

Does anyone have any f1 podcast recommendations? For lack of anything better, I've been reluctantly listening to WTF1 but the hosts can be so grating at times, also listen to the race podcast but it's a little dry.

If anyone knows the f1 equivalent to the bunt in terms of vibes and humor please hook me up!

Post by: Filip on October 20, 2022, 12:21:17 AM
 Ive been watching F1 since Mikka Hakkinen was champion, its like a religion to me.

I love this new era. Max is a beast, I wish last year ended better, but he absolutely deserved to win. This year, no question, multiple all time drives. From 14th to win at Spa, 10th to win at Zandvort.. Nobody can touch him this year.

I would love to see more fights for 1st, and somebody other than Ferarri/Redbull to win a race at least, but Im all about the Verstappen show.

Every sport should have somebody like that, an absolute fucking beast that is way above and shows all the others what is possible.

I was never a Hamilton fan, but Max reminds me of Schumacher a lot, just an agressive, fast, precise driver that pushed the car to the absolute limit and above. Lewis is one of the GOATs, but he is a fuckin diva.

Anyway, looking forward to this weekend, whats up USA.

lol Max isn't anywhere close to shcumacher, he just drives dirty and is riskier, not a fan of his driving style or his attitude...I think Lando has a waaay better style and attitude, too bad Mclaren couldnt pull it off. Also at least Micheal was on a team that makes actual cars, which is way more than what I can say for Max's team,Honda should have an F1 team as well as supply engines. 

Not the best year for lewis, but the fact is he is still a better driver than Max, more GP wins than micheal as well.

I wanted LeClerc or Sainz to win this year...hoping Lando becomes champion someday

Haas has been given some questionable black and orange flags throughout the season so I think they are in the right to protest it. Also Micks car got damage from the debris before he got the off track penalty later in the race.

Lets be honest, the race stewards are terrible this year.

Can't believe he brought that car home. Max is just in pure peak form right now. Marc Johnson Yeah Right era perfection.

Been rooting for ferrari this year but ferrari going to ferrari.

was GUTTED to see vettel get a bad pitstop ruining his whole race.

Also Ricciardo is dumb for not taking whatever seat he can get...

It's on canal+ in France, I'm not paying €22 a month for that. I hardly ever turn on my TV and when I do it's YouTube via PS4 for skate videos. Normally I watch F1/Foot in a pub.

Highly recommend.


Also, Alonso is the biggest Chad in F1, I love it.

Riccardo not driving next year bummed me out, but he does have a bit of entitlement/ego because redbull liked max more than him...kind of more gutted that Vettel is not going to race next year, his rivalry with lewis was one of my favorite F1 moments, i think his stint at ferrari made him kind of bitter about the sport.

I also really wanted ferrari to win this year, but they blew it early (hints at what Vettel had to deal with for sure)

super partial to Mercedez, russell was dope now that he has a good car...really want Lando to win a title, he's got the vibe that I wish more F1 drivers (pilots) had.  Yuki was my favorite addition to F1...love how he just gets pissed and cusses with his japanese/british accent

Alanzo did some weird shit in between his f1 career, like Lemans, Indycar, and that dakkar desert rally shit... never seem like he enjoyed any of them just used his name to hype different motorsports leagues

Aye might look it to it for next year.
That race was insane.
I'm trying to go to Monaco next year. I know a spot hopefully can watch it from for free, and take the train to/from a mates in Nice. If I had it on my phone like a live stream it would be perfect... either that or Monza.

Edit (so I don't double post) this is a great read. I hope they win. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/oct/27/f1-faces-legal-challenge-over-over-bahrain-contract-and-sportswashing

If Max was a sportsman he would let Checo have this win as a compensation for his loyal services but we all know it is not going to happen because Max always wants to win.

I hope Bottas will make something of his great starting position and keep the Astons at bay in the constructors championship. Would be nice if both Alfas would get points, one can always dream.

Okay so I guess I was right, its gonna be Max, Lewis, Sergio.

Congrats to Bottas, and good job to Redbull guys for tyre management, that was beast.

Yea checo doesnt seem to stoked to be max’s teammate, kind of the worst thing about redbull, you know its an all max team, even when bottas was with Mercedes it still seemed like the garage was split.  I hear a lot of valuable people left Mercedes after last year.   Is Fernando going to be driving aston martin next season

To be fair there was a record to be grabbed and Checo was third anyway so the question whether or not to let him win did not come up. Checo did get as much love from his people for third as if he had won.

Kinda fucked...you go into your home countries race and your bosses call you into a meeting to discuss your team mate winning some record (even tho hes a world champ) and there will be team orders to let max win...i think Gasly knew this and is why hes doing better on alpha tauri.

Checo's F1 story is similar to Lewis and I dig him a lot, was happy when he got to drive these last 2 yrs, sucks he has to play 2nd fiddle to max

Checo didnt have the pace. If there was a possibility for him to win, they might have done it, but he was far behind. Max is somewhere else this year.

Max is untouchable right now, only thing everyone else can do is be hopeful for some serious progress in the offseason.

I'm a McLaren fan through and through, so it was nice to see a little life out of Danny Ric. You could tell that everyone, including himself, just kept thinking "what could've been?" if he was more on it these last 2 years.

Lando said his issue is that the Mclarens are a lot more different to drive and that Danny struggled to get his head around the cars dynamics...my guess is the new regulations fucked over a lot of teams this year who just couldn't get the engineering right.   Ferrari seems to have had the car this year but management blew it, you could see the jump in performance Sainz had going from mclaren to ferrari.

Yeah, Danny was good with Redbulls, because that car suited him the best. When he did the 2 year with Renault, it all started coming together by the end of the stint. I feel like if he stuck with them, when they turned to Alpine, he would have had better luck, Mclaren was a big misstep.

And as for Ferarri, they had the concept of the new car dialed in the beginning, but I feel like they got stuck in that place, while Redbull worked on reliability, which was an issue in the begining of the season, amd also Mercedes did a hig step forward, they were terribly lost at the start. Next year should be Merc vs Redbull again, if Ferarri cant pull it together. They need to change the team bosses, starting with Binotto. Either that, or they need the drivers to step up, and be more alpha, not just nod their heads to terible strategies. Ferarri basically needs a Gigachad driver like Kimi, Alonso, or Schumi to put them back into place, now they are juet a bunch of crazy italians running around.

Brazil is one of my favorite GP's.    Lewis always has a good drive in Brazil, glad russel got his first win, was bummed to see checo off pace later in the race.

That was a wild GP for sure. Kmag getting 1st qualifying, Estoban and Alonso drama during the sprint race, I was so bummed when Ricciardo took out Kmag at the beginning of the race, Leclerc begging his team to allow him to swap place with Sainz, the Mercedes 1-2 and Georges first win!

The Verstappen and Checo drama is wild as hell overshadowing everything else this weekend. Verstappen going around in the interview implying that Checo crashed on purpose during Monacco Q3 is a wild accusation that throws his team under the bus as well. Theres no way the FIA doesnt investigate it since he put it out there right?

There speculations that Verstappen wants Checo out so Ricciardo can get the 2nd seat.

I didn't know that, Im pretty sure Max was the reason riccardo left red bull, I think Danny's will most likely end up being a reserve - back up to a team

Crazy race.

Max got the order to let Checo pass and he didn‘t. That‘s all there is to say.

Ricciardo does not deserve a cockpit, sorry stans. His racing was poor in a good car (cf. Lando) and the incident with Magnussen illustrates his lack of skills.

Great performance by Bottas/Sauber to keep the Astons at bay in the constructor‘s championship.

He has a pretty big fan base here because he's the most American personality wise on the grid. Hes executive producing a entourage/ballers F1 show for Hulu and ESPN offered him his own American F1 broadcast (Manningcast but F1) so he could possible come here and cash in doing TV while being a reserve driver.

Yea not a DR fan, I think he got popular in the US from the netflix show, most americans arent into F1, Bill Burr was probably the first person in awhile that regularly talked about races.  I know DR got a fashion brand thats not my cup of tea: https://ric3.com/

Im not gonna defend what Max did last week, since I dont know the details. But if its true that Checo crashed in Monaco on purpose, its fucked.

From what I see when I think about it, If I was Max, and had broke the record on most points and wins in one season, I would try to make it as big as possible, so every point counts. If I had to slow down so my teammate who is 5 seconds behind me, can catch up in the last lap, I would also tell the team to fuck off. Im trying to set some historic, never to be broken probably, records, so of course I want every point, even If Im already a world champ. Who gives a fuck.

Anyway, good shit from Mercedes, I wasnt expecting George to hold it till the end, congrats.

This week, I can see Max flying to distance and not giving a fuck for the rest of the race, winning by 10 seconds again, if they setup his car right this time. Checo will probably finish lower then Leclerc, so his second place is not gonna happen too.

And, farewell to Seb, what a legend. Also shame about Mick, but he had it comming. I just wish Hass didnt sign Hulkenberg back, he sucks just as much.

I just read some stuff about Danny Ric becoming a Red Bull reserve driver, which is weird as fuck but it might work for them, and Mick going to Mercedes for the same job. For Mick, I feel like if he goes this way, he might close the doors to back to the cockpit, because he is not getting on Mercedes main team at least until Lewis retires, which honestly might be another 3-4 years, and George is clearly their future. I feel like best way for Mick is to take a couple years of (Indy car, whatever) and when Sauber becomes Audi in 4 years, Mick and maybe Seb?, all german team incoming.

This is a weird way of thinking about it. Team effort lead him there – both from Checo and the actual Red Bull team. A single driver is just the tip of the huge iceberg that can propel someone to win this shit. Acting petty and ignoring that fact will guarantee you looking like prick, as Max proved haha.

I guess you are right, Max is probably not the nicest person in the world. But still, if I was in his position, with my teammate possibly sabotaging quali during the season, I can get why he acts this way.

Anyway, just checked the second practise, and just as I wrote, Max is flying. He wasnt even running in the 1st one, and set the fastest time in the 2nd by almost half a second.

To be fair Redbull is Max's team, just like Mercedes is lewis's, Checo knows he has to play #2.  Everytime lewis gets on the radio to say YES TEAM, we know he meant thanks team for shoeing the win for me!  Lewis did this to Bottas a few times and i thought he was a super kook then for doing that, but even Toto says Lewis is the golden boy for F1.  But also Lewis's ego got the hit from having a shitty car this year, and George having driven shitty williams cars knew how to work it to his advantage this season.   Max got lucky last season this season too with all the ferrari shit (which im still confused on LeClerc should have had it this season).

The Mick loss isn't a surprise, He's almost as bad as Maze-spin this season, also Hass isn't the best team to get the drive for either, Kmag doesn't come off as super hyped to be on the team, and I think he took it because it probably payed better than the Indy car seat he had.   

If Danny Ric is really back at redbull its like he cucked himself hard these last 5 seasons.

Checo wasnt what i expected this weekend…yeah seems like they broke lewis car trying to make it work this last race.  Max seemed bored and barely any media coverage lol.  Kinda bummed on seb but i see him working on one of the teams once his kids are older.

Thank god Charles pulled off the 2nd, hes just better than perez. Mick proving why he lost the drive.

I liked the first half of the season, hope next seasons cars and management all have their shit together

Post by: Filip on November 21, 2022, 06:57:40 AM
I feel like that if you want to get into F1, best way is to dedicate 1-2 weekends to watch it through F1TV (best insights, best commentary, a lot of information), and watch all the practices, quali, and Grand Prix. Then you can maybe see a little more into the tactics, why some tyres work for certain situations, how important the pitstops/undercuts/safety cars are etc... I mean, its way easier to talk about it then to actually get into F1, at least for me, because Ive been a fan since I was maybe 9-10, so for 22, 23 years now.

But still, to me, this is the pinacle of motorsport. Drive to Survive maybe made it into a reality TV sometimes, but at least a lot more fans are now watching, which is, in many ways good for the sport (just like when THPS games came out). If you get a bug once, I feel like there is no coming back, especially now, when the Hamilton era is over and races are more close since the new cars debuted this year. Yeah, Max won 15 races this year. But next season, all the teams will have a lot more understanding of the new cars, ground effect, and I feel like next year will be bonkers, so a good time to start.

Agreed. In particular when it's the first race of the season. What are your predictions?

Red Bull looks solid. The Aston Martin seems to be very good, in particular with a roughneck like Alonso at the steering wheel. Ferrari and Mercedes are at risk.

In the midfield, I hope Alfa Sauber can race for points regularly and hopefully challenge McLaren and Alpine a few times.

I'll miss the quali tomorrow bot look forward to the race on Sunday.

Not quite. Alfa is just the sponsor, the car is made in Switzerland by Sauber. The power unit is from Ferrari until 2026, when they will switch to Audi.

Merc fucked up again. You could see it in Lewis eyes in post quali interview

Ferrari who knows

Yes it's probably Red Bulls year again

Stoked for Alonso. And I’m glad that the TV producers don’t just fixated on the leader during the broadcast, would make it hella boring when RBR just runs away with the lead each race.


Anyone else notice how Max was the only one not shaking anyone’s hands on his way up on the podium? He’s fast and all, but there’s some unshakeable thing about making him really hard to like, haha.

Great race of Alonso, how badass was his chase of Sainz. Well done Alfa Sauber, made the absolute most they could and Zhou getting  fastest round in the last lap only to prevent Gasly from taking that point was tactically genius.

Red Bull has the best car but it‘s not flawless.

In any case, battle for 2nd will be nice with Aston, Ferrari and Mercedes cars more or less on par and hotheaded loco drivers like Alonso, Sainz and Hamilton hating each other. Also impressed by Russel, what a good driver hides behind the babyfaced snob!

Midfield is interesting as well with Alpine clearly ahead of the rest but McLaren is making progress. I am less optimistic for Alfa atm unfortunately but the season is long, let’s wait for the updates.

Also, the Haas and Williams (cars) have surprised me in Melbourne, they can make top 10 on a good day so I don‘t think I am going to be bored.

They had to finish with it because with one lap left and sainz having a penalty the FIA didnt want another incident with only one lap left so, they had to complete 58 laps in order order for it to qualify as a gran prix

Title: Re: F1 (formula one) thread
Post by: Filip on April 28, 2023, 01:05:57 AM
Yup, Quali for GP will be on Friday, and for sprint on Saturday if I understand correctly. I mean, good for the viewer, that we have a lot of racing to look forward to, but drivers are not happy about it, and I can get behind that too. Way too hectic. And will the sprints count as race wins in the statistics? Lets say, Yuki has no chance of winning a full GP, but by a chance, there is total mayhem in the beggining of the sprint, because everyone is on softs and empty tanks, so the cars are extremely fast. Everyone crashes, and Yuki wins from 14th place. Is he a race winner now?

Got up at 430 to watch and missed half but agree that not much action, glad to see Ferrari back on pace.  some interesting battles going on midfield too.  Formula 2 race was kind of more interesting between the top 4 cars in the final laps.

Funny to watch checo and max go back and forth over the fastest lap before russell took it

Sucks when pit stop timing can impact standings. Not a super interesting race even at mid pack but interesting to see multiple drivers botch turn 15 and kiss the barrier.

I'm rooting mostly for Alonso this year and really thought he was going to podium yet again.

Hot take- Hamilton can only win win either the fastest or second fastest car on the grid. If it's not precisely to his spec he can't compensate and we get this season's results.

Did you not see Brazil last year ...he was the 2nd fastest with a shit car.  but Checo is proving that Max isn't that fast (its obvious they both have the fastest cars).  New regulations are keeping Mercs from overspending and developing a faster car, and their cars aren't great.  They made the wrong calls because of what engineers said would be quickest on paper. Redbull built a new plant in UK and think they probably have the youngest and smartest talents.

Aston has a good car too and Lance is doing well, when he was trash last year as with Vettel (who retired too early because of the shitty aston car last year)

Yup, that's one race as well and he did podium 9 times, but finished 6th in the standings. That's definitely a far cry from even 2021. He's been only slightly ahead of midpack for most of the year which is a huge step down. The Merc concept just hasn't panned out and their rear end is too high/bouncy and is changing their cornering speed.

F2 is fun. You see all the manufacturers junior teams under weird names . Its always a shake up because the drivers are soo young.  Leclercs brother is driving in f2 this season

They should let Max start at the back of the grid every race, at least we see some takeovers as he ploughs through the field. Best driver in best car, not his fault the others can‘t build a consistently good car. Leclerc and Sainz are clearly lacking skills, Aston are not performing consistently, and the Merc is too slow.

I had high hopes for Sauber but the Valtteri got robbed in the Q3 when Leclerc crashed his car. In the race he went to grab tires a tad too early and then got slower in the last laps and got passed by direct competitors.

Amazing to see how what a great car Haas built this year. Also Kevin and Hulk know how drive, even if I don‘t love Hulk. Tsunoda is getting better as well. On the other hand,  Piastri and DeVries are hyped boy wonders that are struggling in the big leagues.

Highlight was Russel singing on the radio when he passed Sainz (I guess it was Sainz).

Now bring on the Euro season.

Oscar an Nyck got shitty cars this year,  I thought lando would do better this year too and its not looking that good for mclaren, the Mercs power unit not that good this year.   Haas has a good engineering team, luckily the owner gets a chunk of change from nascar or their f1 chances would be worse.   Williams also doing better with Alex outqualifying lewis? Logan choked ...sort of felt for him comming in dead last and it being his home state.

I dont really like the monaco street circuit, even when playing on racing games, only like the tunnel to chicane part. Also the snobbery is much worse than Miami (obviously)…someone had a Ferrari F40 on their yacht deck that was in a lot of race shots. 

  The rain was interesting but it just called people out on tyre strategy, the racing wasn’t really there for overtakes liek Spa and Nurburgring gran prix which better suits rain /race action for me

Danny ric getting the drive sounds horrible but nyck was just driving like absolute shit, getting into with kevin mag (i think in spain) was horrible.

Fucked up the race for Alpine and almost blew Riccardo's race.

Qualifying new format was good...race was incredibly boring with some moments with russell and checo overtaking.  Mclarens did well in the begging sounded like they struggled in the end, if they had 2-3 more laps in that race, lewis could have passed checo, both those mercs came alive in the end.

This spirit race crap is stupid. Why don't the just use the qualifications for the sprint and the results of the sprint for the line up of the race. I wish the just did the normal practices, qualifying and the race Sunday thou.

Kinda lost interest in the last few races but as I now have a quiet day gonna watch Singapore especially after reading about the qualifications, pretty crazy for red bull to drop off that much. I'm sure they will sort it and Max will be on the podium thou.

Best race this season, Sainz just came out of summer break hot last few races were amazing...Charles was good but not good enough, Max almost caught him in the end.   The Carlos and Lando Bromance still lives...so good seeing them chill after the race.  Lewis was pissed at the end...knew he got held up by George, Hamilton could have taken it, he was faster.

Lewis was good in the end, Russell didn't seem like could pass Lando, the McLaren and Ferrari just had the straight line speed. 

Heard the reason redbull sucked is because they have to use the same height setup for the Japanese GP and knew it wasn't going to work for singapore.  Everyone said afterwards they will likely be back in Japan. 

Lawsom was dope...confirming Riccardo's days are washed after he fucked his hand,  Alex Albion had a few good races...especially at Italy.

Yeah, Singapore is very, very specific. Even in the previous Mercedes years, where they would give a lap basically to anyone and win 1-2 with 30 seconds to spare, Singapore was the place where they struggled. I think Japan will be Max back on the top no problem, unless he crashes.

Anyway, these last couple of laps were amazing, and kudos to Carlos, he is really good when he goes hard. Good thinking too.

Yeah the Palace Alpine stuff is insane, how the fuck did that happen!

Edit: They (Ferrari) are pissed:

“It is just unacceptable,” said a furious Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur.

“It cost us a fortune. We fucked up the session for Carlos. We won’t be part of FP2 for sure. I think it’s just unacceptable for F1 today.”

Also came to post the alpine / palace race suites.  I thought it was kinda sick to see. 

Im in cali so i am on the same time as vegas, was thoroughly dissatisfied with fp1 had to get up at midnight to see fp2 and they were like…nah come back at 2am, set clock to 2am and they were still delayed

Lol Does anyone remember that scene in driven where stallone had to race on the vegas strip and they pull up the manhole covers

Gotta say im on maxs side when he said it was a circus.  Toto blowing his top over the manhole cover was funny to see this morning.

Also the fans having to see a shit fp1 had to leave fp2 did not get refunded …so fucked

Yeah what the fuck is that about (fans not being able to stay and watch it). Not a fan of Max but he is spot one and glad he has the balls to call a spade a spade, no one else really was until this manhole thing.

I tried to get a palace / Alpine shirt but it was sold out before I put my credit card numbers in. Fuck it. Black Friday sales are coming up.

The beginning was good, still kind of crazy how dominant red bull was this season…sorta killed wanting to watch the races this season.  My favorites this season were lando and charles, Fernando was dope this season makes me forget about that terrible season when he retired

Tbh i t thought the grid walks were better than the races this season, machine gun kelly making martin brundle uncomfortable was hilarious, its crazy how many tennis and golf players like F1

 funny to hear how fed up people are of max winning after being fed up with lewis

Caught testing on Hulu Live last week…first grand prix this weekend.  Ferrari looks on form again

Nah don't have netfix (about drive to survive).
So this Friday at 16h50 or so (here in France is) qualifications, might actually be able to watch it. Shal be interesting to see how much teams were holding back in the testing. Still my money is on red bull dominating, unfortunately.

Ugh what a boring race …another season where max and red bull just get the lead and just fucks off with the lead with everyone not even close.  Im wasnt even going to watch races this season but checked it out since it was on at the gym.  Was fun to see gunther getting a sky f1 announcer role/ job.

I ended up way more pleased with the WEC race in qatar.  The hypercars and new gt cars are super sick and they have a ton of ex F1 drivers and valentino rossi.  Overall more action watching 8 hours of endurance racing

seems like he did something because Jos Verstappen is kinda pissed at Christian...even though he was cleared (someone released the transcripts from the victim over the weekend as well).  My guess is he gave someone an unwelcome hug

yeah Jos and Helmet said some off the wall shit about checo last year that was seen as borderline racist but are supportive of their female colleagues who support the women who the allegation came from...I think they want Horner gone because of it overshadowing the garage and possible tainting another Verstappen dominant season.

I've been hearing that even employee's Redbull UK are also divided, if I was Adrian Newey I would sign to Ferrari next year...imagine if Ferrari had LeClerc+Hamilton and Newey designing the 2025 Ferrari...would be good for F1 IMO

Red Bull make winning boring but the midfield is still fun to watch. In such a long season it’ll be interesting to see things develop.

Yeah team Alonso also hopefully he can get a podium. Realistically 3rd is all the rest of the field can aim for unless a mechanical fault etc at RedBull.
