Look, Max will use 100% of the track and George will use 100% of the FIA sporting regulations and who are we to say which one is more fun

[ctimenefic]

No, see, I think I'm right about this. George sees the stewards' room as another arena of the competition. Max sees anything off the track as irrelevant bullshit. Unfortunately they are both right.

[thearchercore]

i'm sorry but max being wasted af in vegas and naming out all the cars he would win wdc in if he drove them.. just to stop and make sure to point out he doesn't think he would win in ferrari's 2022 car is so wild to me.

like for charles' biggest critics, fumbling the wdc in 2022 is their biggest excuse and then there goes max, who just went on the biggest ego rant of his life, admitting to press that even he would break in ferrari's environment that year.

no one truly reps and backs up charles more than him and that's crazy

Qatar Sprint Quali. why does ferrari race pace actually suck???? but more importantly, welcome back george russell?? high-level competitor? perfect skin?? literally george why

i'm not superstitious, but i'm a little stitious, so i'm not gonna say what i think about ferrari's constructor's chances (reading ferrari's instagram comments is a depression activity)

it’s what he deserves.

Anyone who is mad at Charles for what he said, please tell me why?? This has been yet another season of Charles doing exactly what Ferrari tells him to do and being screwed over. After Canada he tested several intense upgrades to help the team, and it cost him results. In Mexico he was ordered to slow down for his teammate and lost position because of it. Now in Vegas team orders are given and confirmed before the race, and his teammate ignored them. It makes sense that he snapped, and he had every right to. He has been Ferrari’s perfect team player for literal years now, had openly been called cursed for the shit he deals with from them, lost the 2022 championship fight due to a lot of Ferrari team mistakes, and through all of it has born it with grace. But the second he shows his entirely valid frustration, he is whiny and entitled. Ridiculous. He never NEVER expresses his frustration like this normally, especially toward Ferrari. Was it pretty aggressive for team radio? For sure. Was it valid? Yes. People have been saying for years they want to see Charles express his frustration. He has now. But I suppose that breaks people’s image of him that they built up, so now he is “actually a terrible person”

Jesus, let drivers be human. And when human beings are put under that amount of stress and frustration, they snap. Simple as that.

GEORGE WINS AGAIN!!!!! HE DESERVES IT SO MUCH!!! He's actually my king love him so much.

EQUALLY!!! MAX IS A FOUR TIME WORLD CHAMPION AND WAS DEFINITELY ADORABLY DRUNK ON LIVE TELEVISION!!!! He's actually my king I love him so much.

maybe las vegas wasn't so bad after all.

[george-russell-defender]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! GEORGE RUSSELL FUCKING WON!!!! AMERICA FINALLY MADE ME HAPPY!!!!!! VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!!

MAX VERSTAPPEN 4TH CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!! I'M CRYING!!!!

[pucksandpower]

Charles Leclerc went on the post-race radio and said, “Yeah, I did my job, but being nice fucks me over all the fucking time, all the fucking time. It’s not even being nice, it’s just being respectful. I know I need to shut up, but at one point it’s always the same ...”

This is how world champions are made.

You don’t win a championship by being nice. Just look at history: name any World Drivers’ Champion who (no matter how much of a nice guy he was the rest of the time) didn’t become absolutely ruthless the second he got on the track.

Michael Schumacher. Sebastian Vettel. Lewis Hamilton. Max Verstappen.

It’s something all the greats have learned.

Charles’ time will come soon.

drake betting 210k on charles feels like a generational curse

[situationalirony13]

objectively the most uncool thing that happened this week was the f1 social media promo-ing the shit out of lando's crash in LV last year. and then the subsequent horde of lando haters that prayed for him to DNF again this year. support whatever team you want, have whatever opinions you want on Lando's driving and his media presence, but hoping for a DNF is shit energy that doesn't belong here.

gqsports Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz reply to social media comments from fans 🤳

[situationalirony13]

full disclosure: i am actually hoping george wins the whole thing. listen i know okay i know but hear me out i think his celebration on the radio alone is enough to justify the win (he's the circuit's number one dork). not to mention, with kimi coming in as the rookie in 2025, it would be nice for george to have a couple extra wins under his belt, really prove his mettle.

but if it's not going to be george, it would be incredible for carlos to take another win here. ferrari 1-2 would legitimately make my life (i want to be bored by ferrari dominance) but unlikely. if max pulls out the win anyway (not unlikely), well, it would be back-to-back fuck the haters from him. i'm actually legitimately afraid this man will retire this season cos he can't stop dropping it in interviews.

(i'm not even going to waste the space saying i hope charles wins because i always always hope charles wins.)

other things: if oscar came around somehow to win the whole thing i would be completely undisappointed. also praying franco can race tonight!

[andthatsp1]

this was for me, actually.

[situationalirony13]

good evening everyone. looking towards quali (actually at ass o'clock) today/tomorrow, here's the round-up of the most iconic shit in vegas.

Charles's Leo shoes

Max naming his new cat on the spot, or possibly lying about his cat's name

RB leaving max's rear wing in god knows where (watch him win anyway)

Franco colapinto saying everyone in the paddock is high? secondhand high? never media train him pls

Lewis just existing in hammer time for both free practices so far??

British invasion (I kinda love it)

pierre lighting up when he was asked about the zero damage stat

is it possible that rb and ferrari are doing a combined fan forum? cos what the fuck that instantly becomes #1 most iconic thing

weirder...but still iconic?

Something something, formula one corporate partners rang the NASDAQ closing bell

the fucking sphere (that thing's actually growing on me)

students from the university of nevada las vegas got to meet charlos???

one of the mclaren cars (lando's?) wouldn't turn off after fp1

All of them being so fucking cold (the temperatures are practically warm)

honorable mention: please never show this shit again

the fucking elvis impersonators (this can't be the best of american culture)

the guys strapped with LED lights that dance (see reason 1)

[maxcore]

maxblr let's enjoy the max glazing post brazil while we still can cause i feel max charging up to commit acts of treason, terror and arson in the vegas air. and best believe charles will be ready in the media pen to defend all of them

[situationalirony13]

vegas just does that to people.

[situationalirony13]

i know it's literally just fp1 i know i know but if the lvgp ends with mercedes 1-2 i swear i'm quitting - i love george and lewis and they deserve the fucking world but god pls let leclerc/sainz/verstappen take this one

ideal timeline: i want to be bored by ferrari dominance (i am delusional, and this will never happen)

[formulahs]
