Is it 2025 yet? Good grief.

 

Fixed it for ya

At this rate the engine changes are the only thing that might trip up RB. Unless Newey has another talent. Now he’s just rubbing it in everyone’s face. He took the ideas Merc threw away and is now making them work for RB

 

Only 10 cars finished on the lead lap. Looks like 2024 is going to be like 2023 for RB.

 

Silly me. You are correct, 2026... Going to suck until then.

 

Boring race.

 

I stopped watching after the first pit stops.

 

At this point, it's hard to watch.
Lewis was dominant with Merc but every race wasn't a given 1-2.
Was never a Max fan, he oozes douche.
RB and RB2 I can take or leave depending on the driver.

Honda can suck big green donkey balls in any sport.
The only ones I've had were gifts.

Lewis is whiny and annoying but he's like the misguided hippie kid in every class.

Guess I'll be team Lando or Oscar.

 

Hamilton appoints himself as Head of DEI at Ferrari.

Is this a spoof??
If not, Ferrari is in real trouble if LH brings his DEI successes from Mercedes over to them.

 

For the last few years I just assumed Ferraris strategists were all diversity hires.

 

Nope. Pure bread Italians making stupid decisions. Maybe if they did allow others they might get better results. Funny how this triggers some people. It’s not like 99.9% of the people getting butt hurt are even affected.

 

That's part of sports, you get emotionally invested in a team or player and want them to do well. Hammy may get a better car, who knows? But strategy likely won't be significantly better and he's gotten fucked a lot by schoolboy errors.
Loved Sainz this week.

 

No one is talking about that child Yuki? How does he still have a ride?

 

Did you see the antics after the race? A little ridiculous and probably merited a talking to. He's not going to be around long acting like that.

 

Yep, saw the video. Fucking child!

 

I would bet that a few industrialists in Japan pay for part of his ride

 

Part?!?

 

Seems most of the issues at Red Bull are the father of the racer (Gasp, let me take a knee and catch my breath). Jos is the main cancer in that garage, just like he was when he was married and when he raced. Seems he is pissed that Horner is a better father figure and more associated with the kid's success than he is, so he is bent and wants Horner gone.

Not sure how real it is, or if it's the standard social media clickbait fake shit, but I saw a post where Jos will not be at Saudi Arabia this weekend, or at least not in the Red Bull garage or hospitality area.

Being on a team in both the two-wheeled and four-wheeled racing paddocks for decades, racer's Dads can be the biggest PITA out there. But that is not unique to motorsports. We all see it with youth stick and ball sports too.

 

You know damn well he was the one that leaked those messages.

 

Not to defend his actions (or his driving), but the team orders at that stage were ridiculous. There was no way Daniel was going to get into the points so it was a really stupid call to begin with.
