Charles has more natural talent than Max, but Max has honed his skills better than Charles

Lando will never win a world championship. McLaren will have to decide between keeping Oscar and Lando at some point in the next couple of years and will keep Lando, this will cost them the championship.

Esteban Ocon is a genuinely good driver

The only two drivers on the current grid who will win world championships who haven't yet are Charles and Oscar

Carlos is a good and adaptable driver who deserves a seat at a top team, it's his ego that prevents him from keeping one rather than his skill

i love it when you speak because you only spit facts. charles would've won a championship if he was in rbr because he works so flipping hard (reference: the story of his brother leaving him at a racetrack with a kart for 4 hours to go party with jules and came back 4 hours later to see his brother still driving his kart having driven non-stop for 4 hours) but he has just so loyal to ferrari. what made the rb19 was max and not the car, because max is really adaptable and makes himself work for the set-up and not the set-up work for him, his adaptability makes him championship material. esteban is my goat coz he's from a working class family, and lando will absolutely never be a champion, mclaren has more of a chance via oscar.

I could be really controversial and say that if Charles had had Max's run of cars in the first seven years of his career....he'd be a multiple world champion by now. Charles and Max are definitely the most well matched in terms of talent/skill level of that generation of drivers, Lando doesn't even come close quite frankly and he's not even a bad driver I just don't think he would hold up mentally under a championship battle. As is, the difference in his and Charles' PR when they prove the haters wrong is night and day. Lando gets almost taunting with it which is not the best look and makes him seem thin-skinned whereas Charles remains classy, maybe one snide remark but generally comes across as gracious and humble. McLaren PR and Lando's PR has truly done so much damage to the sport because they've led so many people to believe he's the second coming of Lewis Hamilton and will return the British national anthem to the podium forevermore, when in reality the 'man in the woods' of Max's domination era has always been Charles. Charles has always been the biggest threat, which is why Red Bull and Mercedes tried so hard to sign him last year. A Charles Leclerc domination era is on the horizon, if you can sense it.

Also, I have a very soft spot for Esteban. So much of his drive and desperation comes from his background and I do respect that greatly. I think he's the only driver of that generation who didn't come from some sort of insane money.

where have i been, you ask? bar prep 24/7, baby!! well more like 24/7 dread about bar prep and only several hours of studying after calming myself down....... the only thing getting me through this tumultuous time is wearing cute shoes, drinking coffee, and using my cute new planner🌼

Lewis’s response about Lando’s comments: “it didn’t bother me, no.”

*taps mic* this is what I mean by lewis is no longer phased by these sort of comments because he was in the trenches during 2014-2016 and giving as good as he got from Nico. It really is an age thing.

I need to see F1 drivers play trackmania (specifically TM2020 with a steering wheel) so bad you don't understand... the countless potential comedy factors of guys who Drive Cars for a living being put in a situation where they initially THINK they know what's going on but internally are completely lost on what the hell a plastic or wood or god forbid ice road is and how the everloving fuck you're supposed to drive a car on it.

I need to see them in complete denial because "HOW do you expect me to drive this shit I can't even keep grip on a rainy day" and I need to see Max Verstappen in complete agony and denial about any unusual racing line or "unrealistic" game mechanic (while secretly finding them quite exciting) and I need to see George Russell full focus dead set on figuring out the easiest turn known to man while Yuki's already rage quit an hour ago. I need to see Lando Norris with sparkles in his eyes at the first sight of a loop-de-loop and I need to hear Oscar Piastri show more emotion flying out of a sausage block turn than he does winning a race. I need to see C2 pretend to take it seriously while they have a collective 0 clues as to wtf is happening.

And I need Wirtual or Jnic or some other TM streamer to explain all the horrendously complicated ways to gain time (I genuenly cannot overstate how intricate the strategies in this silly little car game are) while the drivers sit there in complete disbelief. Before they actually start getting the hang of it, if anyone has a chance at it it's the people whose native languages list includes Car. Above all I need to see them enjoying cars existing beyond the confines of real physics. oh and I need to see them all still competitive to the bone about it in a cup or tournament setting unrelated to how much they're enjoying the game. also I need Nico Rosberg to commentate it, send post

[silentreigns]

Pleaseeeeeee Williams we need a Team Torque podcast with Franco and Alex

[quicklikenorris]

i s2g ppl upset about lando on grill the grid are the same ppl calling his personality "too pr friendly" "emotional" and "bratty"

[aprilias]

I need Assen to bring back desk press conferences because I need to see Jorge as uncomfortable as possible while sitting next to Marc as he talks about signing his Ducati contract. I need Pedro as an unbothered king listening to the others’ drama knowing he’s getting the bag.

Basically I need chaos and content.

[morninkim]

thinking about how they added the 2017 movie blue ranger to battle for the grid, but it couldn't be 2017 billy for some reason, so they just made an oc who amounted to a raiden mortal kombat clone

[feckedstrats]

Why is the driver with the best sense of internet humour on the grid the 42 year old, he is the meaning of life number the gen z crowd needs to step up

[alotofrandomfangirling]

I'm not taking any criticism on Cosmic Fury cause we had badass female red ranger and that's all that matters to me

[valyrfia]

girl you got called out once and the rpf left your soul fast asf

is this a compliment? an insult? a congratulation? a warning?

[yourpalwhale]

what are your other two pr ships *eye emoji*

Technically they can be considered the same ship, but my all time pr otp is wes/jen/eric. I'm a SUCKER for good poly ships and they both have such good romance stories with Wes, plus I can so see Jen and Eric helping each other open up more and fall in love. They just need a little push to talk to each other and then they'd realize how much the other understands and BOOM they're in love. This trio is everything to me

The other ships are said poly but individually 😭 I know I've had more pr ships in the past when I was a kid (I think one was Cassie/Ashley during in space was one of them?) but it's been so long since I've seen some seasons that it's hard to remember which ones I was a diehard for...

im lowkey so annoyed charles said he’d want to have a conversation w elon musk on that podcast. like i’m obvi not looking to charles as my main political source lol and i do believe he meant it in a completely unaware surface level ~tech billionaire entrepreneur~ kind of way bc he’s interested in those types of figures/that’s how he explained it on the pod but still sucks to hear. i don’t think this one-off hypothetical automatically means charles has bad politics i think he just prob lives in his celebrity bubble and doesn’t see all the shit musk stands for beyond his like business creds ig but still … he could’ve literally said anyone else

[silentreigns]

The staniels's excuse is that "Stroll didn't accept blame for the incident, so Daniel's frustration is justified." I'm sorry, but what the everliving fuck? You guys give Yuki so much grief that is based on racist stereotypes for being "too hotheaded," "too aggressive," "too emotional." Yet Daniel's flop ass punted Yuki out of the race in Mexico '22, didn't accept responsibility and actually tried to blame Yuki for it, then to add salt to the wound, everyone voted Daniel driver of the day for ending someone else's race. Yuki didn't go to the media and start cursing Daniel and calling him names despite Daniel not taking responsibility AND even directly blaming YUKI.

Hell, even compare Yuki and Daniel's interviews today. Yuki wasn't to blame for his incident either, yet you see him, likely to avoid the attacks against him, visibly pause and take several seconds to compose himself and his thoughts before answering. And you bet if he would have said "I'm pissed, fuck this, fuck him" the same way Daniel immediately did, that he would have been crucified by both the media and fans.

Sorry for the rant, but frankly I've been sick of that overgrown, petulant manchild and the stans so desperate to defend him that they'll harass anything and anyone to do so for years now.

I get anon I'm still salty about Mexico 2022. But that was when his sympathy shtick was working with the general public so I am not surprised by how much people were cheering for that.

Lance said in a post race interview that it was a concertina effect and didn't use any negative words. Meanwhile PR merchant can say "fuck that guy" and everyone is eating it up. Like everyone was saying how he should be off the grid during Japan for a racing incident (that was mostly his fault), now mfs are rooting for him? Just because they don't like Lance? And also the amount of ableist and derogatory comments people say about Lance is very alarming.

Could you imagine how people would react if Yuki told KMag to go fuck himself? It would be "oh Yuki has too many temper tantrums and needs to control his emotions"

Shattered Grid: awesome title for an event. Thematically accurate. Tied nicely to Power Rangers. impactful.

Darkest Hour: Lame. Generic. Could've been a story in any franchise. Read about half dozen of those and I barely read comics. Says nothing about the themes of the story.

real talk when I first heard that title I was like holy shit like Warriors Cat?

[thetimelordbatgirl]

I don't keep up with the comics, so when I first read about the Death Ranger drama, I thought it was about Deathryuger, the Dark Ranger's Sentai counterpart.

Yeah, I'm pretty stupid, because I thought Heckyl just came out as non-binary.

Nah, you ain't stupid cause honestly, anything I know about the comics comes from other blogs and twitter accounts. So like, all I know about Death Ranger is that they come from the Omega Rangers comics and that they are among the comics attempts at non-binary rep that the comics uh, don't seem great at handling (or twitter accounts in this drama's case). But also hey, you never know with Heckyl, the comics do like to do their own things with the characters so like, nothing is impossible.
