Lando Norris will be the first female WDC in F1, book me.
Joseph Reyes
Hopefully in Silverstone Max Verstappen wins the same way as he did today but with Lewis Hamilton being overtook in the last 3 laps instead of Charles Leclerc.
I'm going to bed now when I wake up one of you faggots had better have webmed the good bits of the GP as well as Lando being sprayed by his mechanic before the race
The last thing they need right now is to lose the VER fans. TV viewership is down massively and so is race attendance. VER fans travel all over Europe to attend races.
After the French GP and everyone bitching about the death of F1 they probably felt the pressure to ignore the rules as written in this situation.
Josiah Davis
>“Probably the big difference from what I’ve seen from the footage that I’ve seen of the two was that Nico looked across on that occasion whereas Max is very much focusing on the corner and getting out of it as quickly as possible.”

The difference was in the other car: Hamilton. You can do whatever you want to other drivers, just not to Hamilton. And if you're lucky enough to be Hamilton, there's literally nothing you can't do.
>except get in his way That was an exception. First panalty for Hamilton in years, despite him being THE most aggressive and dirty driver. And hadn't it been for the Canada penalty and multiple recent harsh penalities, he probably wouldn't even have received this one.

Agressive and dirty driver hamilton Really... 90 % of the times people just let him pass And the rest he's hardly dirty he just pu pressure on vettel and wait for him to fuck up Also he had a similar penalty last year for the same reason
Honda runs well in hot conditions. So if there is more heat waves in Europe, Max might leap frog Bottas.

Benjamin Hall
When did you start wataching F1, user? Last year? Because Hamilton did to Rosberg way worse than the other way around, even though Hamilton, his fans and even Mercedes' management made sure that the opposite narrative stuck. Some of the dirtiest driving I've seen. And I've seen notorious Senna and Schumacher races. Hamilton also pushes people off regularly, even with clearly superior machinery. Of course, when he was in a non-dominant (but still competitive) car before, he was basically a yield-or-crash type driver like Verstappen is nowadays. But worse. He also plays political games and mindgames off-track and got away with things no other driver would have gotten away with. He was heavily involved in the attempted Spygate coverup and faced no repercussions. He's also the only driver ever to plant his car in a gravel trap and still be allowed to continue the race, despite being unable to do so without the marshalls' help. And he was gifted two extra engines in the 2016 championship by Mercedes' very own interpretation of engine penalty rules. Something his fans very easily forget when they ramble on about how he lost "only because of reliablitliy". And much, much more. You can deny all of that if you want to, but it doesn't change the facts.
Oh. and, by the way: >he just pu pressure on vettel and wait for him to fuck up You dismiss that Hamilton regularly fucks up way more than Vettel, in the same races even, but gets away with it because of his superior machinery. Canada being the best example for that. Or today's race, where he very possibly destroyed his own car with his "creative" interpretation of track limits.
Carson Hughes
Ferrari spilled their spaghetti when they thought the hards wouldn't drop off after 50 laps and qualified on the softs. Merc dropped their schnitzel when they fell for the "cover the Ferrari's" meme. If Bottas got full use of the mediums he might have been able to hold off AMX. Clearly Max drove exceptionally well, however, redbulls can cold their own on straightlet tracks.
Ethan Hill
>merc winning streak ended >a major blow to the beast so why isnt /f1/ freaking the fuck out? >amx won can you all stop seething and just enjoy the occasion

Because it was a meme track. On the longer, higher speed tracks that make up the majority of the season it'll be back to Merc 1-2 Ferrari 3-4 and RB being split by three of the 1.5 cars.

Daniel Butler
Have a thing, I just wanted to see if I still knew how-to.
>I guess you hate hard racing No, actually I was against a penalty for Vertappen today or for Vettel in Canada. Hard racing is one thing. But dirty racing, rulebending, double standards (and only being okay with "hard racing" when he himself does it) like Hamilton does is a whole other issue.
>V-vettel never fucks up as much g-guys Strawmanning much? Of course Vettel messes up. I've naver said anything to the contrary. Just that Hamilton messes up more often and arguably worse, without any pressure. Do you really feel you need to misrepresent other people's arguements to score some cheap wins on an anonymous board? (I'm not that much of a Vettel fan, by the way. There's a handful of drivers I enjoy at least as much. Not that that really matters.)

It's Hamilton fans who jumped on his Mercedes-success bandwagon and haven't seen their god fail spectacularly in competitive-but-not-dominant cars in those same years Vettel drove and won in a subpar TR.
Brandon Cooper
>to have watched Eddie's championship slip Fuck that was funny. He couldn't even do it with Schumi's help after he came back.
Jaxson Diaz
Was anyone else raging during the race about how the director kept cutting to the crowd after every pass or attempted pass when Max was battling Leclerc? Literally EVERY FUCKING TIME. When Max finally got past (iirc) they even missed Leclerc nearly getting him back at the next corner after the straight because they cut to the fucking crowd instead. I think it was that time that Martin even groaned.

Why do I get the feeling that Juria's flight is going to have a lot of turbulence... At least from her perspective.
Yours especially. Everytime you want to prove how great Hamilton supposedly is, you just talk down on other drivers. Can you actually come up with something Hamilton ever did to prove that he is as great as you pretend he is?
Brayden Fisher

Aiden Wright
I found this from an old kart meeting program. Yes, they misspelled Schumacher
The easiest way for people to feel better about themselves, or anything really, is always to put other people or things down. It's a lot easier to drag something down than to lift yourself up.
He knows he can't convince anyone that Hamilton is a great, because everyone knows he's just a carbabby with the most dominant car in history, so the only way he can even attempt to make Hamilton look good is to try and drag other drivers beneath him.

Brody Long
Business idea: All rival cars run an afterburner in the exhaust so the Mercedes overheat every race and have to go slow.
MWL is solve.
Nicholas Campbell
>every car other than merc gets a broken exhaust like kimi did at ferrari because theyre too hot >mercedes wins LOL
Jeremiah Clark
It's his mental weakness, which is also his mental strength. Lewis is actually kinda interesting like that.
Lewis is mentally weak af. One loss and he's slitting his wrists. But he gets around that by being naturally faster than everyone. People can fuck with him all they want, but he just beats them, and then everything they've done only makes him stronger >"I beat you despite x", "you tried everything and I still beat you", "you played dirty but I still beat you"
The problem with that is, if he doesn't beat them, he is fucking finished. Look at him at the moment, he's mentally destroyed right now because he didn't have a dominant car for the first time in as long as anyone cares to remember, and lost. One fucking race he didn't dominate and he's having a crisis...
They easiest way to beat Lewis 100 times in a row, is to beat him once. He's entirely dependent on momentum. It's just that the first one is really hard to do because he has so much natural talent. That's what BASED Nico figured out, and it earned him a WDC.
Blake Price
>That's what BASED Nico figured out, and it earned him a WDC. But there is no Nico Rosberg in Formula 1 anymore (and much happier now he doesn't have to play mind games anymore). Bottas arguably does not have it in him. And no one else has the car needed to win consistently.
Noah Gonzalez
Which is the problem with Bottas really. When he does beat Lewis, he lets him get back up, then Lewis regains his momentum and dominates again. With Nico, every time Lewis stumbled Nico would relentlessly kick him while he was down, so Lewis would stay in a poor mental place and never get his confidence (and thus speed) back.
Adrian Gomez
Honestly this
Ryder Edwards
I'm ready to bet that Bottas is being manipulated in some sort by Mercedes for this not to happen anymore to Lewis

If you were all of these teams, would you take one driver, run him at his limits in qualifying, then turn him into a battering ram to take out Lewis? It's like kamikaze. Would you do it?

Caleb Reyes
Interesting tactics.
Adrian Nguyen
>the next big rivalry for the next few years There will be no rivalries in the next few years. Unless of course two drivers of comparable quality end up at Mercedes. And let's be honest here: Verstappen is error-prone and too aggressive. The only thing he has speaking for him is raw speed and that he's got number-1-status with the team fully behind him. As for Leclerc, so far we really haven't seen him do anything remarkable. That might change, of course, but it's still too early to praise him as the next big thing.
Nathaniel Turner
Man Climate Change is going to fix MWL. What a strange timeline
They have to show F1 is still popular. And after a couple of GPs with disappointing (and disappointed) crowds, they had to do it. Sad.
Still happy that Max provided to them crowds.
Sebastian Taylor
I say, we implement the kamikaze tactics reminder, senna was fucking aggressive as well and an absolute mad man. I think Max could maybe iron out his errors and develop nerves of steel. I say this is next in the long line of rivalries, with Lauda/Hunt, Prost/Senna, Hakkinen/Schumacher, Hamilton/Vettel
Easton Smith
If MWL gets crushed next Year and 2021 we may very well have an Exciting Era on our hands
Elijah Morales
>Lauda/Hunt Wasn't really that great a rivalry, in my book. Hunt wasn't even remotely on the same level.
>Hamilton/Vettel Isn't a rivalry at all. When Vettel dominated, Hamilton was practically nowhere. And now while Hamilton dominates, Vettel is firmly behind both Mercedes. There's not been one single year where they competed on equal footing.

L-lads, why is there, on F1s game, a red star on Merc's car at Australia-Barcelona GPs?
I at least felt like Vettel could clinch it in 2017. At least until like 60% of the season. After that Lewis got the upper hand more often than not
Luis Fisher
It symbolises the Ferrari team. The red spec among the stars which is always there. A reminder of how great a team Mercedes is facing, considering they have an uphill battle to fight. They lack performance but still reach for the stars.
Sky has invested in the next big thing narrative and it's in their best interest to defend it
Levi Young
Did anyone post this already or did I miss the post? No penalty
“Car 33 [Verstappen] sought to overtake car 16 [Leclerc] at Turn 3 on lap 69 by out-braking car 16. When doing so, car 33 was alongside car 16 on the entry of the corner and was in full control of the car while attempting the overtaking move on the inside of car 16.
“However, both car 33 and car 16 proceeded to negotiate the corner alongside each other but there was clearly insufficient space for both cars to do so. Shortly after the late apex, while exiting the corner, there was contact between the two cars.
“In the totality of the circumstances, we did not consider that either driver was wholly or predominantly to blame for the incident. We consider that this is a racing incident.
“Competitors are reminded that they have the right to appeal certain decisions of the Stewards, in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code and Article 9.1.1 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.”
Max has championship material, I don’t know why people ITT don’t think so. Get him into a Ferrari or Mercedes and he’ll best Hamilton.
Andrew Brooks
It’s for Niki Lauda who died this year, he was part of Mercedes Petronas at the time of his death and always wore a red hat. Did you miss Monaco?
Ryan Campbell
>Get him into a Ferrari or Mercedes and he’ll best Hamilton. In a Mercedes, yes, probably. Hamilton isn't as good as people make him out to be, and an aggresive, fast driver as a teammate would be his Achilles' heel. In a Ferrari, no way. Unless they magically manage to improve speedwise and get their tactical fuckups sorted.

unironically I can see Vettel moving to Red Bull/Mclaren and Max moving to Ferrari. Ferrari will never win with these shitty fucking people in charge. How many years are we removed from Gimi crushing that poor fucker's leg? Nothing's changed. I agree personally about Hunt and Lauda but it's still always cited as a big rivalry. Now about Vettel and Hamilton: Vettel and Hamilton have had their moments and competed but Vettel just got infected from the eternal loser mentality at ferrari and has blown every chance he has. If he won last year, or the year before, you'd say it was a rivalry. On the track, it's nothing. But off the track, it's all the media cunts talk about.
Elijah Edwards

I happen to know just the man, however, apparently he is #1 on RB’s list to replace Gasly.
>If he won last year, or the year before, you'd say it was a rivalry. Well, yes, but that would have required the Ferrari to be actually competitive (and not only because in the beginning of the season Mercedes and Hamilton fucked up more than them). It's much less a problem of Vettel and Ferrari though than it is of the sport not allowing anyone to seriously challenge Mercedes. As for why Hamilton wasn't able to do anything at all in the Red Bull years, no idea. If he was as great as people say, I'd have expected him to do better and at least get a third place in the WDC or something like that, considering the McLaren wasn't that bad yet.
Gabriel Carter
Charlie clerk did nothing wrong.
Nathaniel Nguyen
>Charlie clerk did nothing wrong. He didn't do much right either though.
Owen Nelson
On the contrary I think he did everything he could do.
Lincoln Morales
I think Hamilton could not adapt to the Pirelli tires of the Red Bull era. Those first few years the tires would seem to shred as soon as they did a double digit number of laps, tire preservation was key. Hence randomness like the start of 2011 and Button actually looking like a great driver for a couple year because he was good at tire management.
As everyone knows, he still whines about the tires incessantly, even when leading. Today was actually an anomaly because he had something else to complain about.
Connor Diaz
apart from putting himself in a position where his defence was allowed to be completely dictated by the car attacking him.
He parked it in the middle of the track the previous lap, had more room to make the outside run work if amx tried to run him wide, which he couldn't do because he was slower at midcorner. Why he went to the outside for the next lap I'll never know.
Michael Morales
Amx pushed him too much cause he had better run out of the previous corner. I do agree however Le got bullied to the outside too much, but I guess he though he'll pull out same trick as previous lap and didn't mind until Max pushed him out of the corner.
Nolan Phillips

It wasn't a Mercedes being offended.
Nathan Morgan
>Hamilton keeps underperforming >Bottas passes him in the wdc How would /f1/ feel
Thomas Perry
I don't think Mercedes would let that happen. And neither would FIA.
Gavin Morales
>And neither would FIA. Wouldn't it be good for F1 overall if someone else wins for a change
Evan Allen
Why do you think it should've been a penalty?
Eli Gutierrez
>Wouldn't it be good for F1 overall if someone else wins for a change SInce when does FIA care what's good for F1?
Sebastian Wood
Got to leave the space. The lap prior was good racing. The "overtake" was just AMX punting Leclerc off the road.
Noah Cooper
But then it will be a penalty for Verstappen
Aaron Collins
>pushing people off the track instead of fighting them wheel to wheel because the last lap when you didn't push your rival off they managed to get back past you tHaT's JuSt HaRd RaCiNg
While that is true, technically, and the overtake was definietely not clean, something like this shouldn't be a penalty. It's just hard racing, resulting in them touching. The sport has seen worse in its history go unpunished.
That being said, if you give a penalty to Vettel for momentarily losing control over his car on the grass, it's pretty hard to justify not giving a penalty here (especially when the stewards reasoning is basically that "neither driver could do anything to avoid the incident", a benefit of doubt they didn't seem to give Vettel in Canada).
Julian Diaz
WHAT DO YOU MEAN user MAX HAS MATURED SO MUCH HE'S SO MATURE GUYS LOOK
Bentley Myers
>something like this shouldn't be a penalty. Why not? Running a car off the track should be a penalty.
>It's just hard racing, resulting in them touching. No, it's incredibly weak racing. Hard racing would be the lap prior. This was just dirty cheating to stop your opponent from having any chance at actually racing.
Now that the precedent has been set I can only hope that drivers run each other off the track (hopefully into walls) for the rest of the season.
Ryan Stewart
>MAX HAS MATURED You might be joking, but it is true nonetheless: Two years ago, he would just have crashed into Leclerc deliberately and caused a double DNF.
Christian Carter
And Brundle BTFO Binotto in the post race interview. Is he based?
>Running a car off the track should be a penalty. But it hasn't really been in the past. It arguably was Hamilton who popularized it in this era, and when got away with it, others started to copy those moves. But, sensibly speaking, in a hard-fought battle, there has to be some room for human errors. And while deliberately crowding someone off should be a penalized, late breaking resulting in someone having to leave the track should not.
>This was just dirty cheating to stop your opponent from having any chance at actually racing. Well, you can also argue that once more than your front wing is past, your main interest should be to defend your new position and that the driver on the outside does not have the right to automatically pass you again just because you have to leave the racing line to give him space. It's a very grey area, and natural instinct plays a role.
>Now that the precedent has been set The precedent has been set years ago. (And the stewarding in those cases has always been highly inconsistent, with "some" drivers regularly getting away with deliberate crowding and some others not getting away with late breaking.)
Nathan Bailey
daily reminder we can have Austria style race every week if someone liquidates mercedes
Owen Rivera
Business idea: Recruit Tabi to bring them down from the inside.
Leo Sanders
don't think she'd be willing to drive a truck bomb in there to be honest
Tyler Russell
/biz/ idea Rename it to formula mercedes. If someone finished ahead of mercedes the get double points.
Sebastian Kelly
>be considered generational talent and one of the biggest what ifs in the sport's history >return, only to be considered the worst driver of the grid by a new generation of fans
Only third worlders, old rich women, and slavs buy Mercedes.

Brandon Reed
boomers here love them, I was talking specifically about the team though I should've made that clear.
Cameron Robinson
AMX can lap you, a professional F1 racer
Or
Gasly is just shit
Which?
Robert Evans
The FIA are so fucking retarded to let Max keep getting away with this shit. You have to let him past or he will put you in a position where you either leave the track or let him crash into you. Any driver on the grid could do this stuff but they don't out of basic respect for the other drivers.
It's always a matter of time until Max does this every time he has to fight or defend hard against one of the top drivers.
Just give Kmag a top car and let him deal with the frog
Joshua Jones
>I love the "Quite good"
KK just being modest.
Michael Nelson
I would love to see that
Carter Gomez
it will be Buemi
screencap this
Cameron Robinson
Why would it be anybody but Kvyat or Albon? Pierre will stay in the Red Bull until at least the Summer break, then probably Kvyat will get promoted to let Albon have more time to mature in the Toro Rosso, and once he's ready they'll kick out Kvyat again. If they don't keep Pierre in the Toro Rosso after the switch, they'll pull up Nobuharu Matsushita or Naoki Yamamoto.
Aaron Lopez
Kvyat, Albon, Buemi, would all get BTFO gasly tier by Max at the moment, doesn't matter who is in the car.
Colton Robinson
Tbdesu what they should start doing is putting Alex and Daniil in Max's car during FP1s to get a comparison with Gasly and see if he's actually underperfoming or if Max is really just that good
Ian Anderson
m8, Gasly has a habbit of ending up BEHIND TR, putting a better driver in a better car will result in improved finishing position nomatter how delusional you might be about AMX's performance
Grayson Murphy
It would hurt Max's performance, and he is the only reliable points scorer for red bull. Bad idea.
Ayden Scott
Max won in Austria after missing most of FP2. He'll be fine.
Gabriel Martinez
t. Dutch tourist in London Verstappen is one of the best drivers but he wasn't anything near Godlike compared to Ricciardo who is hardly quicker than Hulkenberg
Parker Sullivan
tbf he BTFO Ricci pretty consistently after Monaco, so there's something to be said about him having reached another level. Is he better than Vettel or Leclerc or Hamilton or even Bottas? We can't say for sure, but he's pretty fucking good.
Ryan Taylor
>BTFO Ricci pretty consistently after Monaco Not that difficult in a team that publicly says that you're their number one and they're (re)building their team around you, which also makes the other driver leave to an inferior team out of his own volitions, but not before he suffers multiple technical difficulties that allow you to easily overtake him in the standings.
Landon Myers
>third worlders >slavs tautology
Kayden Roberts
Dubs and Kvyat replaces Gasly
Julian Nguyen
Dubs and Gasly replaces Gasly
Jason Sanders
Czech republic looks nice.
Andrew Wright
Dubs and Marko drives the car himself
Jackson Clark
When the v-tech keeps on kicking in, Honda might want to see a Nipponese driver in one of the cars.
Asher Myers
>The Netherlands have won races while Japan has not
Life is unfair.
Easton Adams
Even worse is that Max is gonna get a pole at some point and they will be off this list before Japan.
tbf there were never really great Japanese F1 drivers Sato and Kobayashi were popular because they were different and aggressive but they still weren't very quick (though Kobayashi at least deserved to stay in F1 longer)
like how do you get outqualified by Button or Perez?
Angel Wilson
>Alfa will have updates for Silverstone Might put a cheeky tenner for Gimi qualy 4th and podium
Xavier Young
Anyone have a torrent or something for the full race? I fucking missed it.
Carson Ramirez
Yeah but I want that underdog to win.
Seeing Max or Lewis win is just soul crushingly depressing. At least Vettel has redeemed himself with Ferrari.
Austin Collins
>like how do you get outqualified by Button Be Button or Perez. Or Hamilton, lol.
Cooper Collins
are you trying to imply Button was bad
Owen Morgan
What is cheeky about this tenner? Does it have a big cock drawn on it? Is it cheeky to go to a bookmakers and ask to make a £10 bet then hand the tenner over to the FEMALE cashier knowing full well it's been wrapped round your knob the whole walk down?
Luke Anderson
>Ireland >best quali pos. 7 Irvine never qualified better?
Madam Gasly, your son is going to have to stand on his own two feet if he's any hope of staying at Red Bull.
Julian Hernandez
>Red Bull have the resources to make two distinct cars >Red Bull *want* to have a car that can't finish ahead of McLaren >Red Bull actively sabotaging Gasly for any reason whatsoever They're giving him every chance they can and he's fucking them up. They want to have two cars that can get good points. Is it better if amx is consistently ahead of his teammate? Sure, but only if amx is performing at his recent level at every race. The last thing they want is missed opportunities, and that's all Gasly has been giving them.
Easton Sullivan
>gasly runs the chassis from last year
Owen Hall
why yes I would sacrifice the WCC to Ferrari and McLaren so Max looks better t. Marko
Carson Green
>there are people ITT too young to remember Fangio winning with 4 different teams
Jayden King
kek, you just know rencken is still seething about this.
"Yeah fuck this Gasly. Lets give him consistently good pitstops, that will teach him!"
Caleb Parker
FUCK TOOTHPASTES(not literally) AND FUCK TALL PEOPLE(literally)
Asher Moore
Promising, yes, but then old fucks like Vettel and Hamilton should stop hogging cockpits. Considering how easy the cars are to drive (just look at old man gimi), why should they?

David Cook
Extended forecast shows possible afternoon rain for Silverstone but it's still two weeks so don't get excited.
Adrian Richardson
Extended forecast shows possible rain today right now for me, but its +35.
Aiden Sullivan
you now realise leclerc couldnt celebrate any of his podiums so far because he either got cucked out of 1st place or his teammate was seething next to him so he couldnt go all out
Chase Rodriguez
Kimi probably has asian women genes slowing aging, also he just races again and again and again because he enjoys the activity in itself, like an autistic kid, he's not representative.
Vettel seems to be completely burnout, he looks like 10 year older than he is, I can totally see him retiring next year. Hamilton is arguably fine in the statu quo but Bottas won't remain around, they will push either Ocon, Russel or Verstappen in his seat in 2020.
Brayden Howard
>so don't get excited what should I get excited for exactly? the start behind the safetycar? the handful of laps they are allowed to drive once the racing line is 100% dry? or the second safetycar once a few drops of rain start falling again?
Ian Johnson
So which remaining GPs on calendar could bring us a non merc 1-2 race? Is it just Spa&Monza?
Justin Edwards
He's just a passive aggressive bitch like most nice guys. Max gave him a lesson of assertiveness this weekend, hopefully he learnt it. Schumi or Vettel at peak test would have crashed Verstappen, sacrificing the race but winning a lifelong psychological advantage over him.
Owen Fisher
Singapore has traditionally been good for Ferrari, but maybe not this year.
Tyler Jackson
Mexico, maybe Hungary
Jeremiah Adams
Mexico.
Parker Cruz
Ferrari should have a pretty big advantage in Russia
Brody Jenkins
>>bottas comes in first securing the WDC over Lewis Yes please
William Adams
I for once, welcome the global warming. Hope every race is ultra hot so Mercedes can fuck off.
Also that "high five" to Pirelli for giving them tyres to drive in these conditions kek. If these tyres were the 2018 ones, then Mercedes probably would have been fighting with McLaren and Gasly
William Lopez
I wouldn't be surprised if Max pulls out 2-3 more victories, Hungary, Mexico and Brazil are my bets.
Ferrari? None, they'll trip over themselves ruining every chance.
Eli James
The >muh lifelong psychological advantage argument is dumb. Everyone said that prost was mentally owned by senna forever after '88 in suzuka and then the lil Frenchie btfo'd him next year
Mercedes Wins Lol, it's just TLDR way of saying no matter what happens on track, in the end Mercedes always wins. Like >drive around for 2 hours >Mercedes wins >f1
Dylan Barnes
Why are you reading a literal cuck site with a prime soi in charge?
We went over this multiple times already, he would just become a senna-tier legend What we need is for Grosjean to crash in the rain, VSC happens, Lewis ignores it and spins out speeding killing multiple marshalls on the scene
Carter Cruz
getting dabbed on by mclel was not expected. hope somebody in paris is holding cyril's head over a fire pit asking why he's not getting results.
