Reminder that at the beginning of the 2007 season >Alonso had 2 WDC >Hamilton was a fresh faced rookie >Vettel was a test driver for >Sauber >Rosberg had scored 4 (four) points in his entire career >Kimi was getting thrown out of strip clubs for fapping in the open >Button had only one meme win to his name
Fast forward to 2018, the last season of Alonso's career and >Hamilton is a 5 times WDC >Vettel is a 4 times WDC >Rosberg is a WDC >Kimi bumbled his way to a WDC >Button got a fully deserved WDC >Alonso has 2 WDC
Something with the eyebrows? Something looks different but I can't tell what
Wyatt Bailey
tbf it was bmw sauber. a decent team until their '09 fuck up.
Ethan Gonzalez
Yet another fantastic performance of the underdogs Mercedes, it really shows how good is Toto Wolff management, besides having the slowest car of the big three still they overcome the odds every Grand Prix.
Nathaniel Reed

Thats a pretty badass last name, hope he's pretty fast.
Luis Jones
well with even Baku being a snorefest is the season dare I say, over?
Mason Morales
I hate ferrari so fucking much it hurts, seeing lecute in first today ruined me emotionally... with every second that passed I said to myself: how will ferrari destroy this man's race this time? watching him go lap after lap, not pitting after 20+ laps, not pitting close to 30, the gap closing between him and bottas, the man going on the radio himself to ask ferrari what the fuck they're doing... holy fucking shit lads... I swear mercedes would've had him pit when he had a 10+ second lead on bottas and put him on mediums for the rest of the race to AT THE VERY LEAST guarantee him a podium if not even have him win the race unlike fucking FERRARI hoping for a statistically impossible SC or whatever the fuck miracle they were hoping (maybe for literally both mercs AND amx to retire at the same time). and that bullshit with pitting vetlel to literally hide the fact that lecute was absolutely blowing him the fuck out. absolutely fucking shameful. fuck ferrari.
The gimi curse is real > Fer career ruined > Bianchi kill > lotus kill > vetlel exposed > leclerc career getting ruined The only way is bringing jim back to replace vettee
They banked on mercs pitting for the second time, since they changed to mediums early. Which is funny, because Vettel didn't fucking pit for a second time despite pitting even earlier.
Brayden Perry
Racing Point once BWT gets bored
Juan Perry
>Vettel didn't fucking pit for a second time despite pitting even earlier. hence why I truly believe if they changed leclerc on mediums at around lap 25 when there was still a good gap he would've at least gotten a podium. they're afraid of exposing their golden boy kekel so much they actively try to ruin their second driver's race. I mean I understand there's politics in this sport and shit, but holy fuck making it this obvious is just painful to see.
Wyatt Allen
Bring back Brawn to Ferrari and he'll clean house get shit back to how its supposed to be, shits been inexcusable ever since Domenicale was appointed
Cameron Williams
Bottas redeemed himself again?
Caleb Davis
They just used leclerc to slow down the leaders for vettel.
That's all they wanted.
Caleb Robinson
If brawn doesnt return to Ferrari best alternative would be Fred vaisseur, he unlocked sauber so he'll unlock ferrari as well
James Howard
If Bottas was in any other team would he be the No1 driver of that team?
Parker Cooper
I hope all this Leclerk cocksucking is copied straight off of reddit. He didn't make the strategy work even with a gifted set of tires. Finished a minute down from his teammate.
Camden Cook
He's actually making the season tense because you can't tell whether he'll cave in or continue the struggle, but brainlets don't see it because muh MWL.
Would Brawn be allowed to return to a team after he’s worked for the FIA?
Evan Gonzalez
fuck off sebastian
Oliver Sanders
>Gimi just races for fun >Finishes in the points despite him starting from the pits I genuinely believe that he's one of the best car developers in F1, his blunt approach and years of experience still makes him a valuable asset for Alfa
btw, is there some rule (should ther be a rule?) that says if your team doesn't score points in a certain number of races it should be kicked out of the sport? Why do Williams show up to the races at all? What are they getting out of this?

He already started on the mediums. He would have needed to at least use another compound to comply with the tyre regulations. However Ferrari still completely fucked the strategy up anyway.
Jackson Green
what? I swear vettel started on mediums and remained on mediums after the pit. Am I wrong?
Charles Diaz

Well yeah, who doesn't. They really need to get their heads out of their asses. Also fuck Mercedes unterhunden narrative and hammiltons blessings. Bottas is alright though.
From the top three teams I'm enjoying Red Bull a lot this year with there serious shot at getting the best out of their new relationship with Honda, the struggles and effort into getting their chassis right and driving as persistent as they can. Also the midfield is really fun this year, it's just great seeing gimi giving no shit and getting points every race this season.

You fucking dumb cunt casual you need to use at least two different compounds in the race. He fucking started the race on medium tyres so he had no choice but to stay out until he can take a set of softs till the end.
I swear to fucking god these arm chair strategists. Ferrari got the strategy right for once, faggot Lelerc only has himself to blame for binning it in Q2.
What is the point of Williams racing, why are they even allowed

>Mercedes rear steer effect >In the kinematics of the rear suspension and the compliance tolerance, there is scope to legally passively simulate rear wheel steering. Mercedes has been experimenting with it for a while and it was certainly visible in the car’s behaviour at the end of the Austin lap last year. Its benefits are marginal and it’s tricky to set up. But Hamilton is believed to have given feedback on Friday night in Baku that led to a set-up tweak that got it working much better into Saturday. It wasn’t worth a big chunk of lap time, wouldn’t have bought them the hot track deficit to Leclerc, but the result was felt to be positive.

This is a ridiculous statement. All the other drivers listed were team ordered to give wins and points over to their number ones. Christ Barrichello was made to yield a first place even when Schumacher was miles ahead in the championship.
Mercedes let their drivers race, and HAM was faster than Rosberg in all metrics, he lost due to poor reliability and Rosberg hitting him multiple times. Which other number two in your list hit their number one?

to be fair 2010 was a very good season and 2012 wasn't all that one sided as merc domination is nowdays.

Mercedes will find a way to break Bottas again lewlew will win 11 more races this year, which will bring his WDC count to 6 and win count to 86 2020 won't be any different, bringing his win total to some number just under 100 and his WDC count to 7 the FIA and Liberty will probably fuck up the 2021 rule changes so let's just go ahead and give that to choco senna and anglo-mercedes too 105+ wins and 8 WDC titles after 2021, while still under 40
it's gonna be 1-2 through the year FIAMG crafted these aero rules to benefit Mercedes only

No need for "post". Everything Alonso EVER won was rigged. In 2005 tire rules were rigged in favor of Michelin so Ferrari has no chance to win again and in 2006 they cheated with mass damper. Renault, Alonso and Briatore are all major scumbags and deserve everything bad

For me, it's gimi. The best F1 driver. I even post extra gimis and the general is so friendly and more than willing to partake. One time I posted a gimi and they and they replied with three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly user keked and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!". Now the general greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS replies with three gimis. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my Formula 1 general, I go there at least 3 times a week for keks and a nice Carrie post, 1-2 times for the races on the weekend, and maybe once for testing when I'm not in a rush but want a great moment that is enjoyable, relaxed, and can match my daily gimiposting needs. I even post gimis in other threads, it's amazing! What a great board.
pedantic. leclerc is french. monaco is completely made up and not even an ethnicity. and he is not being sabotaged by his team. they just suck. do you disagree with either of these statements and why
>Leclerc crashes into wall in Q2 and calls himself stupid multiple times
Must be Ferrari strategists' fault. Ferrari are honestly the biggest cucks in F1.
All they do is spout shit about how fast their car is and it gets dicked every race because funnily enough it's not a straight-line sport.
Even if it was they'd find some way to spin out and give Mercedes the win. They should replace the prancing horse with a flaccid cockend.
