main is @fin-stabilized. my main goal is to talk about f1 without the fanfics or gifsets.

i hate how pre-season testing is in bahrain so it just happens when i’m supposed to be asleep

anyways new season new me i got a few resolutions

I. up my hater game

II. do away with the fandom shit

III. become so biased i make brazilian sports fans look fair

IV. pray that lance stroll DNFs every race until he gets kicked out, the daddy’s boy bastard

V. crash out at least once

this is gonna be my season baby let’s roll

[tambucellos]

yet another piastriclass, he fucked up the griddy in the post-race so this one’s a write-off for mclaren i’m sorry

russell slipped in yet another podium, clean from the lad

red bull not on pace with mclaren still, as expected! max couldn’t outdrive the shitbox this time

ferrari 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

williams ascendant, Albon doing extremely well for himself while carlos is still feisty and fighting

rookie shenanigans were fun to watch

ferrari power units 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

overall absolute kino grand prix

[tambucellos]

real oscarclass at saudi, fantastic launch into a race win off a max penalty. doesn't mean that max didn't give him a run for his money tho

supreme norris recovery. if only he stopped bungling saturdays

leclerc sometimes will just become the tyre whisperer. you have to accept this

unfortunate start from gasly and yuki. nobody's at fault i don't think it's worth looking too deep into

alonso crash avoiding skill is sublime, but i guess that's what 25 years of experience gets you

hadjar still impressive, but the williams train did a class job keeping him behind. props to all of them

whoever said that hamilton was gonna win his 8th WDC for ferrari was the funniest motherfucker like look at his relationship with that shitbox and tell me shanghai sprint wasn't a fluke and he was gonna win other stuff without upgrades

[tambucellos]

bearman should have been DotD today btw

if it was ocon i wouldn't be mad but come on

[tambucellos]

oscar with two pole to win conversions in the first four races he's obviously the man to beat these early days. we all knew he was a championship caliber driver but im gonna be real i wasn't expecting to proclaim him the championship favorite this early

russell situation handling is fantastic against leclerc and norris also especially considering his late-race issues. potential fighter in future seasons?

lando had a commendable recovery too i'll give him that. it seems the pressure's catching up to him though

P20 to points for Bearman and P15 to Ocon is mind fucking boggling. strategy masterclass backed up by a shockingly potent driver lineup

whatever the fuck liam has been doing needs to be studied. hypeless individual

red bull had a mardy of a weekend but hey yuki's proven his point

[tambucellos]

oscar’s just better ig

[tambucellos]

also i do love watching the fandom on here seeing crimson for something like one strategy call while the drivers themselves don’t seem particularly concerned

[tambucellos]

i will note that as much as i love oscar i think the key is that he SAID he had the pace to go after verstappen. from the outside i wasn’t particularly convinced that he did, and I think trying to stabilize the championship status the best you can seemed to be the best play. oscar would’ve risen to 3rd in the championship either way so I would’ve done the same thing tbh

[tambucellos]

takeaways from suzuka:

the Max Factor:tm: is still in fact very real unfortunately

somehow, the problem seemed to be both lawson AND red bull, which is honestly impressive

Hadjar and Bearman are the two most impressive rookies by a long shot, Antonelli’s done the business, Gabi and Doohan are just in the Torment Nexus (plural) that is Sauber and Alpine

ferrari seems to be back, so that’s fun

sainz still a bit of struggle, but it seems like williams isn’t all sunshine and rainbows rn so i don’t blame him too much

STROLL DECIDES TO MAKE ME EAT MY WORDS AND FINISH DEAD LAST LMAOOOO

[tambucellos]

also i missed q2 what happened to yuki

[tambucellos]

this is verstappen’s first pole in 9 months. kind of insane to think about

[tambucellos]

actually you know what helmut marko gets the low quality tambucellos profile pic of shame

[tambucellos]

rbr fumbled the bag again

kill helmut marko please deadass

[tambucellos]

as much as i love yuki's confidence i don't want him in that second rbr because i have a feeling that the red bull is gonna chew him up and spit him out like it did to everyone else

like i'm fully convinced that the RB21 is literally impossible to drive unless your name is max emilian verstappen and yuki would have more success at racing bulls

[tambucellos]

woke up to a ferrari double DSQ :v

how did they fuck that one up

[tambucellos]

in view of lance stroll actually having a decent roll of things this season i believe a profile picture change is in order

behold! low quality liam lawson, to match his performance in the red bull so far

[tambucellos]

DIVINE from piastri today P1 -> P1 masterclass

lando fantastic effort at turn 1 and great work holding the brakes together

battle for third n fourth was spicy as hell props to russell, verstappen and leclerc (who had a broken front wing the WHOLE RACE)

haas from ass to gas in a single week is insane. melbourne was sandbagging there’s no other explanation

fireworks out of the points too, bloody good fun (unless your name is liam lawson)

thank you lance stroll for being the lab rat for the hard tyres, your sacrifice will not be forgotten o7
