#this could be about f1 drivers

[ef-1]

yeah F1 is cool but imagine a driver gets shunted and he bodily rips off his rear wing (Which fucking says "Race Against CRIME") as he's being swarmed by officials

And he just yeets it at the guy who shunted him

[pucksandpower]

This race was also a massive middle finger to everyone who said that Charles isn’t a smart driver. The one-stop strategy? It was Charles’ idea! Ferrari originally wanted to put him on a two-stopper. Charles knows exactly what he is capable of and proved it on the track today

Vettonso complaining about each other not respecting schrondinger's track limits on the radio compilation + Seb's commentary that made me a bit feral

Must include these sexy ass pics okay, it makes me feral how hard they race each other.

Also SO upset that we got this vid and there's also pictures(and presumably a vid out there somewhere) of Fernando, back then, ALSO debriefing this race. And yet we never got them together?????? Evil. Fucked up.

Imagine seeing them complaining about each other but also having to (begrudgingly if you're Fernando) compliment each other IN FRONT of each other. Maybe its a good thing it doesn't exist, bcs then I'd have a heart attack.

"Statement win" meanwhile Max got P2 in a shitty ass car. THAT is a statement.

Good for the drivers to unite against the obvious lack of consistency and transparency on fines and on how the fia president presents himself.

That being said, I'm hoping the same energy will be shown by the GPDA when it comes to racism, harassment, xenophobia, misogyny in the paddock and on the stands.

Oh and on the fia actually following the guidelines and rule books they have written themselves.

Why is Lando your number one enemy lol

there was that whole trump thing that i made some posts about a while ago, but now it's his behavior after the canadian gp

basically, on the podium, during the dutch national anthem, a bunch of fans started chanting lando's name. he responded by raising his arm and hyping them up.

this kind of fan behavior is normal for f1, but that kind of reaction from a driver has not been normal in recent years as far as i can tell.

for a recent example, in imola, when the tifosi were being tifosi during the dutch national anthem, charles leclerc did not start cheering them on from the podium.

additionally, post-quali in monza last year, when fans were booing max, charles stepped in and told them to cut it out.

theres other examples of fans doing this, but im not going to list them all because the general driver reaction has been to ignore it. someone correct me if im wrong, but i cant find any recent example of a driver hyping up fans like this in the middle of a national anthem.

overall, it is a pretty disrespectful move to do something like this. maybe if it hadn't had been in the middle of the anthem, it would get less of a reaction, but because it was it's just kinda dubious. if max or another driver like lewis or charles had done something like this, they would be torn to shreds in the media. like max himself has always spoken highly of lando, so to see lando turn around and do stuff like this to him in turn just kinda shows his immaturity and general disrespect for others.

Do u guys ever stop and think about the fact that the current drivers future kids might grow up and also be in the sport?

HOW DID I FUCKING FORGOT IT WAS MAX'S BIRTHDAY OH MY GOD I AM SO DUMB HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX KNOW THAT YOUR MERCH POPULATES MY VIRGINITY CORNER

George managing to turn the majority of the F1 community against him in a day after improving his image these past few weekends with good results. Definitely did not anticipate him becoming the main character these last couple of races

In the most logistics obsessed way, I want to be added to the pj drivers gc where they decide who flies with whom after every race

You know what? Real talk, If Charles really could not attack after the pit stop like he is saying bc of tire degradation (he did have to go through half the grid after that pit stop) then I am happy there were team orders. Because if charles attacked with tires that were not doing OK and he lost against Carlos on 7 lap newer tires who have not seen an overtake the discourse of Carlos winning wheel to wheel would have been horrendous. It would have been worse than it will be now.

I am not undermining charles or anything. I think he didn't attack not because of the team orders but by his own decision. I think he would have attacked if he had a better grip on his tires. I think the grandiosity of Charles as a driver is exactly in the fact that he can read the situation and feel his car. Feel what he can and cannot do with the car. If the car felt like it could not pass Carlos in that moment I trust Charles that it is true. Any other driver in his position would have gone for it (cough Russel cough). He attacked in Monza but it was the last laps and he essentially had nothing to lose that year. This year he is in a fight with red bull and it was the beginning of the race so burning his tyres even more on a useless overtake would have put him in danger against the mclarens much faster.

If you think about it this was some brilliant management and decision making on Charles side. I am still his fan (shocker!!!) And I still love him to death and I think he made all the right choices today.

max has been bitching about george non-stop since saturday and george was the one having an unnecessary meltdown?

please. (Also learn how to tag things no one in george’s tag wants to see your nonsense)

I can tag things as I wish. That wasn't an anti-George post. I'm fairly neutral to him typically. That was me saying that he had the chance to deescalate and opted not to. I am perfectly within my rights to tag as I wish especially because I wasn't bullying or hating on him. I was criticizing a choice he made. He made it publically, so he can be criticized in a public forum so long as I'm not being hateful in my criticism.

Max said his piece on George and said he has never had anyone attack him like that in the stewards and he lost his respect. Which is his opinion. His only responses today were in response to what George said. But Max was not pulling out questionable quotes that can't be proven from the stewards like George did. He was not making up lies and false accusations in his statements. He was stating his opinion that George had acted one way in front of the cameras and then completely different behind closed doors. Based on today, I'd say that was pretty close to what George probably acted like behind closed doors and I can guarantee now that that's out there, George won't be playing buddy-buddy and trying to put his arm around Max tomorrow like last week. Thus proving Max's point.

End of the day, both drivers are allowed to make whatever statements they wish and know the consequences of them. Max stated an opinion that George was offended by, so George fired back. It's not him making statements that I'm criticizing. It's the statements he made. Saying that Max threatens and bullies people. Framing it as if Max is this awful villain that's out to murder people on and off track. Max didn't step a toe out of line with what he did on track and him "impeding" George on a slow lap was laughable since George had all the info and allowed his ambition to get better track position nearly wreck himself out. Everyone admits the steward decision was ridiculous so Max was right to be upset. But he didn't at any point step over the line and try to injure George even while wheel to wheel. Which is what he said Max threatened to do and would have done. And yes, Max probably would've braked later even if he went off track, but end of the day, George wasn't even there when it mattered, which is more a skill issue for him than a Max issue.
