While I'm thrilled that Hannah Schmitz and Laura Mueller are getting a turn named after them, the irony of them having to a share a turn rather than each getting their own is not lost on me. Or that it seems that the turn name will be temporary for one Grand Prix only.
non retirement confirmation. restart the clock i give him 2 weeks until his next incident. he has such a way with words <3
real verstappies arent even phased whenever max threatens retirement because he does it ever 3 business days and then steps in that car and ragebaits himself into winning
growing up
i love how the title cards perfectly capture the difference in atmosphere and vibe between the 2025 f1 season and max and chris's nordschleife adventure throughout this doc.
f1 is grey
with suspenseful, even at times ominous, music playing.
and then there's the nĆ¼rburgring
and it's green, the sun is out and birds are singing.
"as a max fan i cannot excuse max's actio-" i can. max never does anything bad and nothing is ever his fault. it's called orange army not orange debate team, unleash the lion not unleash the ethics essays
lmaoĀ š
me too bro, me too.

Domenicali also thinks the vast majority of the Formula 1 audience won't notice all the technical changes. "I spent half an hour watching the track today (Thursday, ed.). I still see fast cars that sound great and can put on a great show. I'm not worried or panicking at all."
Cannot put into words how much I hate this man and all his takes with regard to F1.
He is a businessman. Not a fan. That's the issue. He sees money and spectacle but fails to appreciate the sport for what it is at its core.
Yes, the sport needs businessmen to keep it progressing and profitable so that it can continue. BUT those businessmen should not have final say. They should be a part of a council and get a vote but they should not be the only voice and final decision maker. The final vote should require a panel of people from every team and every discipline within the teams. Yes that will be a massive vote, but who cares. Make it be a 2/3rds vote to pass.
As it stands now with these regs, I'm watching absolute chaos with all the changes and the unknowns. And yeah, the mystery is interesting, but it's not the sport. They're making a mockery of the sport by throwing so many new things out at once and the sport, at its core, is getting lost.
As an engineer, the specs that they've decided on for this year almost feel like they just threw out numbers with no theory behind them and told teams "good luck!" which is kind of insane. The fact that they didn't listen (or didn't care) about the clipping and battery management concerns years ago is wild to me. And honestly, kudos to the teams and engineers for making something out of absolute chaos. But they shouldn't have to be doing that.
It's hard to marvel at engineering innovation when you can't tell what's actually making the impact. It's hard to comment on driver skill and raw pace when it's just them managing batteries for most of the lap. Hell, even the fuel is going to play a big role this year. The fundamentals of the sport are getting lost in their effort to put on a spectacle and create entertainment.
I mean, with all the changes this year, they have basically created an entirely new motorsport category. Might as well call it Formula Hybrid or something because it's half F1 and half Formula E. It's like they hate F1 but want to money grab off its huge fanbase. But they are failing to notice that they are alienating the core fanbase with their "innovation" (and pricing out regular fans and removing classic circuits for street circuits that pay them more money to run but produce boring races and and and...).
finally started watching the podcast with max and dc and not even 5 minutes in will buxton has me close to tearing up with the story about sweet 17 year old max meeting his parents. but also as i'm typing this: where were these stories when he was young and villainised huh?
to be fair george russell has to urge max to retire. that's pretty much the only way his seat at mercedes would be safe since if max even looked at toto's direction he'd be discarded mid season like the piece of trash trash he is.
3 people with combined 13 championships between them and widely regarded as living motorsports icons: the cars don't feel good or fast, the corner overtakes are basically impossible, it feels like the driver's role is getting diminished
a man who got gifted a championship via team orders and fia closing it's eyes: akshully, you can retire lol
a man with 0 titles and seemingly a second fiddle in the team he is the senior driver of: lol go race at one of the most iconic tracks in the world (where you have already won on your first try)
if i had a nickel for everytime lando threw jabs at max to the media (when max has been nothing but kind to him) iād be a millionaire. come on lando, stop spewing shit because youāre jealous youāll never be as good as or as respected as max. weāre all fucking tired of your shit.
people on twitter saying max lewis and fernando can retire, we have lando george and isack is like me saying retire gelato, tiramisu and cheesecake, we have ebola, mono and the common cold
When you think about it, no one should be surprised that Norris is so clearly rattled by Max voicing his complaints about the new regs.
If Max had done what Norris apparently thinks he should do and just decided to shut up and smile about being paid to drive a car, Red Bull would never have turned it around in the back half of last season.
But he didnāt, and they did manage to turn things around, and what should have been an easy WDC for Norris if he had a modicum of talent turned into a three-way, down to the wire fight within a handful of races.
And you can bet thatās weighing on his mind. Heāll try to pretend like it isnāt, but letās be real - weāve all seen how easily he crumbles around Max.
A hard to swallow pill that people need to accept is that Max has achieved what he has both because heās ridiculously talented and because heās insanely passionate about what he does. This man lives and breathes racing. And when youāre genuinely passionate about something, youāre always going to speak your mind when you feel things are being taken in the wrong direction.
As for Lando āwe get paid ridiculous amountsā Norris? Well, Iāll let you finish the puzzle.
thinking about her again
