I think Max will win the season, but the rest of the races should be exciting, it does look alike he’s got a huge lead right now.
Is there even a way mathematically that he could lose, aside from losing evey single race that’s left by finishing outside the points?

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Max is that guy. If he has to come back from last on the grid to minimize the deficit, then he will roll up his car in Parc Ferme. Ruthless cunt.

That's what happens when I try to drift in Gran Turismo on soft tyres.

Bro tried to show off for the Italian birds in the crowd.

Old man needs to move aside, maybe Alonso can take it up when he retires.

I think it will only get exciting when it comes to how narrow the lead will be in points, not necessarily in individual races. Although Max does pretty much everything with what he has to get good results.

That McLaren is turning into the RB of previous seasons. Tables have turned. Good for Norris and the team. As big of a Max fan that I am, McLaren has always been a cool team with great drivers. Good to see them at the front once more.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I’m fine with whoever wins the championship this year, I just want Lewis to finish ahead of Russell in the points.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

I hope it goes down to the wire.

Abu Dhabi.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Formula 1 is at its best when it's divulged in controversy. Dating back to the rivalry of Hunt and Lauda and the the rivalry of Senna and Prost.

Fuck political correctness because this is what people crave on in the inside and it becomes legendary.

This is what sets the sport in the spot light. So let's have more Lando and Max fireworks.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I’m sad that Kimi crashed his first time out. Hope he doesn’t let it get to him and pulls through. Also who’s the new kid at Williams, was it?

A dude from Argentina. I have trouble pronouncing his name so Pina colada will have to do for now.

 

[cormack12]

Is Pina Colada in this weekend then? The advertising boards were making it clear that ant was in the car and not george

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Looks like it's going to be an easy win and pole for McLaren this weekend.

I want Ferrari to do well this time. I'm not even a super fan.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Milton is flying today.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Damn I know Lewis takes shit hard sometimes, but he seems super dejected : (

 

[twilo99]

Leclerc is an absolute monster of a driver ... bravo.

 

[cormack12]

Gamble paid off. Happy for Sharles, but felt Piastris pain there missing out on a very good drive. Was a decent race, that first turn at Monza is such a flashpoint

 

[twilo99]

LEC last lap: 1"23.268

LEC best lap: 1"23.226 (on lap 33)

Crazy

 

[Icymanipulator]

Exciting race right from turn 1
Did not expect Leclerc to win, but happy with the result.

What happened to Max and redbull? Last few races they just don’t seem the same. McLaren stole their magic?

 

[twilo99]

I'm not sure how many of you follow the sport closely, but this kind of lap grouping with such low standard deviation is kinda insane. I've only seen VER do something similar. This is a sign of a very good driver.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Lando got mugged by Pastry.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Well, well.

Abono is tall.

Even Newey won’t be able to make Stroll a good driver.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Tsunoda '26 WDC incoming.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

His genius generates gravity. He also predicted Hamilton winning that weekend.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Going to be an interesting weekend. Red Bull and Mercedes seem to be in the mix again.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Lewis beating Russell in FP1 & 2 is music to my ears.

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Just played the Arena Breakout infinite early access. Please watch it guys!

And I think you're in the wrong thread, mate.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Lando knocked out in Q1.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

How the actual fuck did they miss that?

It’s bright yellow!

 

[twilo99]

Leclerc is a monster around Monaco and Baku

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Legreg will win the race tomorrow. Granted nothing out of the ordinary happens. But this is Formula 1. Anything could happen.

 

[cormack12]

Going for it here with the national anthem isn't he

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Leclerc is a monster around Monaco and Baku

And yet, another year with pole and no victory. He has to be more aggressive when defending. Sometimes he is too nice.

 

[SkylineRKR]

This is one of the best seasons in years. I don't know who is going to win each race. Is it LeClerc, Sainz, Russel, Norris, Piastri or do Max and RB rebound? This time it was Piastri. Next GP, who knows? Last year you could fill it in on a weekly basis; Max Verstappen.

I still think Max will grab the 4th title. He does fairly consistently finish in the top 5, even at Spa where he started 10 spots lower. Norris doesn't win every week, he was now only 1 place ahead. They all steal victories from eachother. And I do think RB will find momentum again, even if only for one or 2 race weekends its likely enough to secure it.

 

[Icymanipulator]

What a great drive by Piastri, good offensively and defensively.

He's gold. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

 

[Raven117]

Dude. Piastri is straight up a great race car driver. Lots of drivers are fast. But he has an instinct and coolness that can’t be taught.

I think ultimately that’s why McClaren is being a little funny with “papaya” rules. Deep down, they know Piastri has a higher ceiling than Lando. They know… deep down… he is a better race car driver than Lando, but they are trying to manage that as best they can.

 

[RaZoR No1]

Something I never expected to see but I am happy to see

 

[twilo99]

Yes, huge mistake by him not defending, but you also have to consider that PIA had a nice advantage on the straight with closed DRS thanks to an illegal rear wing, which is now banned apparently:



In other words, if the race was held today, that would be an illigal car.

Once again, FiA is handcuffing engineering breakthroughs and innovations.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Clever but I can see why they abolished it You're receiving DRS in a non DRS zone. Technically speaking. But still, sucks for McLolren.

Anyway, we should turn F1 into a Can-Am series. Which is what Pikes Peak is for except it's a hill climb. And hopefully that series will become WipEout in the future.

I’ve always dreamed of a “Formula X” or something where the only rules are what the human body can withstand. No rules, no limits. Sure it would be insanely dangerous, but I don’t think there would be any lack of drivers willing to test those limits.

They would never allowed that in this time and age anymore.
In the past they pushed machines and the humans to the limit.
Now they try to make everything safe as possible for the drivers.. except for the street circuits...

Drivers and sponsors will go where the money is. Supporters and a following that is en entirely different cock and balls.

Formula X has a good ring to it.
