Enjoyed the race, but once again the mediums had no drop off compared to hards and no real alternative strategies were available

    So, we ran a few errands here, outside the Black Forest and got back to the house and I started thinking (usually dangerous) “I think I will look again for tickets for Sunday”, And I’ll be damned. Fuc

Insane rumors around the paddock:

Stroll sold Aston Martin team and Alanso is leaving
Riccardo to RB
Sainz leaving Ferrari

Wonder which one is legit. End of the season is going to get wild.

Also rumor of Alonso to RBR. Wouldn't surprise me though if he went back to Ferrari, IF the AM sale rumor is true. If the sale were to Andretti though, I think he'd stay.

I read Alonso to RBR and Checo to AM.

All rumors. I’m banking on Checo staying through 2024. Max does not want anyone else. And why would RBR want to destabilize Max and piss him off?

We could have a fantastic after season silly season coming up which is good because the sumer silly season sucked.

Received an unexpected birthday present from a great mate, fellow-redditor,  and avid F1 fan.. Almost spilt the coffee that was in it due to the fit of  laughter that ensued. : r/formula1

Same feeling.

FIFY.

La Tri haven't got to the "5th game" (or the quarterfinals) since hosting in 1986. Matter of fact, I wonder who beat them in their 4th game in 2002? Does anyone remember?

El* Tri.

If Robben wouldn’t have been a little bitch and taken a dive…(assuming you’re actually Dutch).

You think I don’t like Team USA?

Wild rumor I read just now ... that Toyota are considering buying the Sauber entry from Audi with help from McLaren and will supply McClaren with engines from 2026 onward. Kobayashi will manage the Toyota team with 2 Japanese drivers.

Rumors that Audi wants out as some new brass are not interested

Why would Red Bull want someone who is at least moderately competitive with Max? Lots of reasons.

They should have sewn up the WDC 1 and 2 weeks ago.
 

Idk how in the hell they keep Checo after this year. He's toast, as he should be. Any other top driver in the grid wouldn't have done this poorly.

Yeah I think they realize Mercedes is coming and would love to have a guy scooping up maximum points like Alonso would ... but we'll see.

Oh, and there's a helluva lot of room in between where their #2 is now and 'destabilizing Max'.

I require this to be true. 

Say Lewis takes second in the WDC...

Would you be more likely to say that Lewis won second or that Perez lost second?

I would distribute the blame equally

Lewis has had a very good year, especially where the car was at the start of the season.   Checo should still be beating them though.  He's wrecked twice in a row now doing stupid shit in corners.  Things that even Lance Stroll doesn't try regularly.

that's the easiest answer ever.

image.thumb.png.1d1198799b6911cf648c9a5177ab3bf5.png

you have a car that has more than 2x as many points as the next constructor. Perez absolutely lost it

image.thumb.png.296808f311c97a744ea017773aaf098d.png

since Miami Hamilton has 29 more points in a significantly worse car.

 

Lewis has driven like his hair was on fire. just an incredible season. but Sergio was in a much better car and will have lost it in my book


Checo needs to be jettisoned into the sun. especially after Mexico where he couldn't be patient enough in TURN ONE of his HOME RACE?! despite being in a battle to the death for 2nd place in WCC?

Edited by NoName

Checo has been holding on too tight, he's lost the edge.

top-gun.gif

Checo not hanging onto 2nd would be a more epic fuck up than someone else winning 2nd.

That being said, it's damn impressive what Lewis has done in that car holding off a strong "midfield" (I suppose everything not RB is midfield this year). At any given point this year, Ferrari, McLaren, or AM had a better single lap car than Merc and often by a good margin. But come race day, Lewis outperformed what it looked like his car could do - Qatar withstanding and with a DSQ in Austin to boot.

With the upgrades midseason, is the merc really that much worse of a car? I get it that the rb19 is in a class of its own but the Mercedes and McLaren teams have been coming on strong.

Max blew by 2 Ferraris in the first lap and then pulled away and cruised for the rest of the race.  If he hadn't been saving his tires, he would have kept pulling away for the rest of it.  There are some tracks where the advantage is less than that though.

It looked like checo was going to blow by too but some of that could have been braking way later than would have been successful even if he didn’t turn in on a scuderia. That was a crazy start for both cars.


Edit: I guess that does make the point that the red Bull is that damn fast if even checo can do it. Damn, I’ve been pulling for th guy but this is pretty indefensible.

max and then charles' green room reactions to lewis going offroading to make the pass was great

Wow. How do people make this much money?

Dunno, but I've warned the wife if we ever get to the point where we have a house that has a spare room, I'm immediately getting one of these:

It's a basic version just like the one below, but probably 10 years ago I picked up a Playseat from a guy on craigslist. Almost new and in perfect condition, but I guess he had nop idea how much it was worth. He was asking $50 and I'd have felt guilty trying to talk him down, so I said "Here, take my money!!!" Even now the same seat is almost $400 on amazon.

Four hundred dollars :austinpowers:

My 17 yo & 19 yo still wear the shit outta that thing, and my 19 yo is actually pretty quick & wins a lot online. They should prolly make a stupid movie about him. /csb

So apparently Max has now won ten races in which Charles qualified P1.

Well he gives it to him by turn 1 sometimes

Rumor from the paddock supposedly has nothing to do with drivers. Now I’ve seen Liberty has sold to Saudi (as the rumor).

So in the last 2 days ...

- Toyota/McLaren taking over for Audi at Sauber

- Perez retiring

- Sainz leaving Ferrari

- Alonso retiring

- F1 not returning to Mexico City

- Alonso / Checo swap

- AM sold to Aramco

- F1 sold to Saudis

 

Did I miss anything?

Brawn gets released on Hulu this month and it looks awesome. 

That seems to cover it.

And the. In non rumor news - Merc Chief Tech Officer has retired.

That would be bad, but Greg Maffei is a gigantic asshole so it wouldn't surprise me.

So made it El Gran Premio in CDMX.
Was a cool weekend. The race weekend was great. Got to walk the paddock. Saw Danica, Charles mexican girlfriend, Hulkenberg, Helmut, Papa de Chrco, Horner, Mexican Indy Car Mclaren Driver Pato Oward, some mexican fox guys and other cool shit. Supposedly one of the guys with Marko owns part of Red Bull. Checo crashing was a buzz kill. MFers started leaving early and getting hammered in the tents. Heard fights broke out but never saw any. Red flag restart was nice to see at keast. Max has a rocket in his ass. Those leads were crazy. He coulda stopped and grabbed a taco and modelo and still easily won. CDMX is a fun city. Ran into the redbull crew at a late dinner on sat. They were drinking but didnt get hammered. They did leave kinda late.. but was told those cheap fucks left an $800 peso tip on a $30k peso bill…CSB
Viva mexico
