Formula 1 - F1 - Current Season Discussion

[mhip]

Same here. I was all set to start watching the race only to pick up at lap 33

Same....wtf?
We have the technology to commit massive voter fraud, but my race recording starts halfway through.

I also obviously missed the whole backstory on how Napoleon got to pit crew for Lando.

Omg this dunce of a nepo baby can’t even get through a formation lap

Logan probably watched that and started laughing.

 

[Roikins]

How the hell did Max go from 17th to 1st? Did he just force everyone out of his way? Tires? Oh well, that's the final nail in Lando's championship hopes. Pretty disastrous day for McLaren on the whole.

 

[mhip]

And who is Oliver Beaman?

Is this a guy from the stands that won a pre-race raffle to drive?

 

[nootje]

Now Norris claims that Verstappen was just lucky to win due to that red flag allowing him to change tires without a pit. And the Red Bull suddenly was the fastest car on track according to him.

Sure buddy. Sure.

 

[Duke Santos]

Lando's whining is out of hand.

 

[sugarbutch]

He’s not wrong. Max probably wouldn’t have won without the various interventions. But it doesn’t explain why Lando was unable to do more from his starting position.

Uhhh I could be mistaken but isn’t this how Lando got his first win in Miami???

And yes Max is an asshole but Lando is a whiny little baby.

I just saw a video from the stands where he went off and the crowd is apparently chanting, "New Latifi!" at his beached car.

It’s actually funnier than that. They were chanting “Drugovich” (who is Brazilian) at him. LMAO

There were such funny clips and pictures of him from the formation lap.

Stroll talks us through ‘really strange’ formation lap crash at Interlagos

Lance Stroll was set to start P10 in Brazil but crashed his Aston Martin on the formation lap and was out on the spot. Afterwards he suggested he’d suffered a brake failure.

All of these things can be true simultaneously.

Apparently they told Lance he couldn't use reverse. But, even so:

Audi/Sauber announces 20 y/o Gabriel Bortoleto to drive alongside Nico next year. Former F3 champ and about to be F2 champ. Let’s hope the 2026 car is remarkably better than the current effort.

Everything you need to know about Gabriel Bortoleto

Kick Sauber have finalised their plans for 2025 with the signing of Gabriel Bortoleto, who becomes the latest driver to be confirmed for next season.

[HRoi]

Good for him. He’s put in one of the most impressive F2 seasons in my memory

 

[sugarbutch]

At best we will get Fernando in a Minardi. Not sure that Sauber/Audi (Saudi?) is capable of giving him a car even that good, though.
