No retirements on a street circuit? Fkn LOL.

Hat trick is pole, win and fastest lap or something?

Yeah I was hella close to going no retirements at Bahrain 7.00..... decided against it and now have regret.

You have the most reliable cars ever in F1, and no rookies driving.... Sure Logan could go into a wall all by himself, but these oldcels driving are quite careful IMO. Honestly Bearman is less likely to dump the car than Logan LOL. No retirement odds have shifted to 9.50 so I'm not even mad.

Yeah, pole/win/fastest lap is hat trick.

Lmao, Stroll still sucks.

AM really throwing season after season away by keeping this guy on.

Bearman is seriously impressive. Are all these kids just incredible now or what?!

Thrown into the deep end at 18 years old and he's as fast as some of the top drivers.

Great drive for Bearman. P7 after only having one FP session to get familiar.
Promising up and coming talent in F2 for sure.

Easy moneyyyy


Great drive by bearman, not sure I'd say it is better than Lawson scoring points in a AT in Singapore but still a great debut.

Ricciardo needs to retire, it's sad at this point

Magnusson killed it

Max is inevitable.

I’ve been saying it for years…Daniel is washed up. Dude just doesn’t have it anymore.
If he gets Perez’s seat it’ll be a real fking shame because too many better drivers deserve a shot at it.

Yeah, Ric used to be a WDC-tier driver back in 2016-2020. Now he is getting cucked by Yuki. Hard to believe this is the same guy that beat Vettel twice, mogged Hulkenberg and absolutely destroyed Ocon. Also was on par with rising-star Verstappen

Don't know what happened after 21 but he got the Vettel infection where you become suddenly slow and start spanning every race. Maybe even worse since at least Seb still had a few moments here and there that were brilliant

Overall Daniel got waaay too greedy. Should have stayed at Renault - he was great in 2020 especially.

Cyril was starting to build the team around him and that idiot called it off. Probably karma hit him, since that move made Renault HQ to kick Cyril and things went in a downward spiral.

Very refreshing to see a young guy like Bearman go right into the Ferrari and get points.

I really don't know how TF he will get motivated to drive his F2 car after this LOL. Even if he gets an F1 seat, it won't be a Ferrari for years.

Overall a fun race because of that.... Kind of a cool battle with Norris/ham on softs at the end. I really thought max was going for fastest lap on the final lap based on how he stretched his lead over Perez during that lap, but Charles was the one to snag fastest lap over the line. Max mentioned his tires got cold so I guess that's it.

I'm with you guys on the Danny Ric analysis. I'm a big fan of the guy but he seems to have really fallen off atm. And with young kids like Bearman coming in and doing such a great job it's difficult to argue to keep him around. Ofc it's only race 2 so he's got plenty of time to improve.

On one hand you can argue he's getting old, and he'll lose time as he ages .... But then you have Alonso who id rank as second best CURRENT driver on the grid and he's also the oldest. (And the obvious Michael Jordan/Tom brady of F1)

Most drivers lose confidence and motivation quite easy. Even Hamilton is kind of inconsistent if it doesn't go his way.

Wtih Godlonso - he literally doesn't give a phuck, thus why he is good. He is the only driver I can think of who fired Ferrari instead of the other way around lol You need some big balls to do that

Man I've missed the first two races of the season and I don't even feel like I've missed anything. Looks like it's gonna be a boring season.

Only interesting battle would be between Mercedes, Mclaren and Aston. Ferrari are strong second

Try motoGP. Shaping up to be a cool season.

You can get up to speed by queuing all of last seasons YouTube highlight videos in order and burn through them.

Looks like Jorge Martin has the strongest desire to win the championship this year, but theoretically it ought to be Bagnaia because he is on the factory Ducati bike.

They have a generational talent rookie this year (Acosta) and marc Marquez is on a 2023 Ducati so he has a shot at winning races too.

Where in F1 you can essentially know exactly what's gonna happen this season, in motogp you genuinely have no idea.

Although matin's sprint win today was basically a guarantee.

Drive to survive has been more interesting than knowing who will Q1 and win on Sunday

Nascar > F1

Context: Average time between 1st place and 30th in Nascar is ~30s. Average time between 1st place and 4th place in F1 is ~30s.

Lmao.



















K.

Brutal. Tried watching the last 40 laps of the Daytona 500 this year and almost fell asleep, even though there was a massive wreck.

MotoGP is good tho. Lots of heartbreak in those races.

Say you're low iq redneck with out saying you're a low iq redneck

I have to laugh. All through that MB dominance, they were salivating all over themselves about how wonderful Hammy was.

In one forum I left a comment that it was the car doing the winning, not the mediocre driver. The response? Kid you not: "The car is so successful because Hamilton developed it so well as a driver."

So what happened this time? He's a loser who can't even beat his teammate. His form is all over the place.

Hamilton dudes, stop deceiving yourself and wake up: Hamilton is an upper mid-field driver lucky enough to drive a highly dominant car in it's golden years. His skill is not champion material, and his talent is questionable at best.

Party's over Hamilton fans. Reality sets in.

I love it.

Can't wait for Charles to curb stomp him in Ferrari.

Seriously Hamilton should hang it up.... He doesn't have Alonso longevity, or even hulkenberg longevity, for that matter lmao.

The hate Hamilton gets here is funny. Just because he's a woke prick and Mercedes had a good car doesn't make him a chitty driver. Maybe he's not Senna/Schumacher level but he's definitely close enough to it.

Sure we're biased because he's a flamer, but objectively you gotta look at him vs his teammates. Didn't Russell outscore him 2022? I mean.... There's drivers where something like that would literally never happen on merit.... Only mechanicals or something of that nature would place them below their #2 driver. Russell is 2 for 2 against ham this year. I won't be surprised if he goes 5 fo 5 or even longer than that.... Hamilton's highlight reels are never impressive, he actually peaked in 2007. Rosberg beat him in the championship, and no one ever holds rosberg up as some exceptional great driver. I couldn't even watch the Hamilton era because it was so un-exceptional.

At least with Max you can easily spot exceptional driving, even if he IS in the fastest car.

I can't imagine how much $$$ Ferrari is going to pay Lewis to get wrekt by leclerc. It's an obvious publicity stunt for the team. Nothing more.

You are doing Hamcuck dirty tbh and I say this as a guy who thinks he is a knob

The guy is great and his teammates were notoriously good. Rosberg beat him one out of the 4 years they were together.
Rusell was on par in 2022 and was close but not better than Hamilton in 2023. I see Hamilton getting cucked this year by him though.

One thing I can confidently say is that he is overrated as hell and all comes down to his rookie year in 2007 where he was able to match Alonso on points.
McCucklaren did Alonso dirty as we all know but history is written and people act like things were on merit. I won't say 2007 was when he peaked but it was easily his best year at Mclaren.
I think he peaked around 2018

To get a better spectrum of a driver, you need to check his whole career. One thing Hamilton is mediocre at is consistency - he is just not a warrior if he isn't within a podium.

He is leaving Merc next year and it already feels like he gave up before the year has even started. This is why I feel like Alonso will outlast him in terms of keeping his skills in tact.


Regarding Ferrari - I suspect he will get lecucked by Leclerc and they might kick him out for Verstappen or some young talent like Piastri

The year Rosberg beat him was partially because of bad luck and some DNFs on Hamilton's side. I do agree that he seems to be doing worse when the car isn't that good. Whether it's a lack of motivation or he's washed I don't know.

Dude he REGULALARY gets **** on by his teammate that hasLESS THAN HALFthe experience he has. He is not that good. Period. Better than average, for sure. But that's about it.

You can put the car performance aside and see that Verstappen would absolutely mog the ever-loving FK out of him in equal cars. He's on a level that Lewis was never on, and never will be on.

Ferrari are just banking on the value hamilton brings after he finishes racing. He won't do more than 2 years racing with them. Then he will just be an ambassador for the brand. The fck is alrdy talking about bringing over his diversity posse to maranelo. Italians aren't gonna like that.

Max would never tolerate losing a season to a team mate like Hamilton routinely does.



Also Max was up until like 4am playing iracing the night before the saudi gp lmao

I doubt Maranello will allow his woke crap into the team. At most they will try and the fans will try to massacre them for trying to do so.
I don't see Hamilton surviving more than 2 years if he tries to make Ferrari into wokecels while getting cucked by Leclerc. Also italians are racist af lol

Elkann says he will invest in his activism but I think he lies lol Elkann is for the sales. Hamilton in Ferrari is mostly a publicity stunt like Ronaldo was in Juve - mostly to profit from selling merchandise.

Flying to Melbourne tomorrow, excitedddddddddd
