My F1 Thoughts

I support Mercedes AMG Petronas, but I love everything F1. Posting my thoughts here. Enjoy!

Mr Mercedes 🤩🖤

GR locked tf innnnn this weekend. Call that mental toughness!!! 🔒🏎️🔥

And Kimi P3!

[whereiswhane]

Max really took his own advice that he gave Kimi about the race start 🤣🤣 (“So, when the lights go out, you (Antonelli) wait one second!”)

but in other news ANTONELLI WINS THE MONACO GRAND PRIX! 🇲🇨🖤🔥🤯

[whereiswhane]

OMG Antonelli on pole in Monaco 🇲🇨. Was not expecting that after the pace on the Ferraris and Max in free practice. LFG !!!!

Did Charles, Lewis, and Max all just bottle or is the baby goat just THAT good? (genuine question btw)

[whereiswhane]

I genuinely think that, years from now, we will look back at this podium and marvel at how special it was.

Canadian GP— I’ll keep this brief, despite there being so much to say!

I’m absolutely gutted for George. Not his fault, and he had such a great weekend leaning up to today. The wheel-to-wheel racing from our two Mercedes drivers today was absolutely incredible to watch! If anyone can turn this around and lock back in, it’s George. 💪🏼

Kimi Antonelli = baby GOAT. I’ve been saying this for a long time now. Like, legitimate GOAT energy.

Onward and upward. LET’s GO TEAM 🏆🔥🖤🤍

Regarding the sprint— the rule literally states that when overtaking on the outside, your front axle has to be in front of that of the car ahead at the apex (see below for proof). Kimi’s wasn’t. Simple as that…

Not sure why everyone is in such an uproar about this. Y’all might need to get your eyes checked. I’m a hugeeee Kimi fan btw.

Congrats to George. And still a good result from Kimi. Already stacking up some great point for the team 🤩

On to quali !!!

JAPAN 🇯🇵🌸

Amazing weekend for the team!!!! Kimi in particular has just been looking so strong. Like, everyone knows that George is the favorite for the championship. We know him and are familiar with how special of a driver he’s become. But seeing Kimi in particular come out of his shell so rapidly has been really fun to watch. It’s awesome to see him on the podium, totally relishing in how much hard work has gone into moments like this. I’m so glad Merc believed in him and brought him in! I just wish George could’ve been up there with him instead of Charles lol.

Unfortunate that George’s proposed changes to the car didn’t end up panning out. His sudden drop back behind Charles was also weird and I hope that doesn’t indicate a larger issue with the car. I don’t think it does, but just something to watch out for, I suppose.

I’m already seeing comments about the team screwing George over… Just a reminder for the uneducated fans out there that the drivers propose changes like that. Sometimes the changes improve the car’s performance as intended, sometimes they don’t. Let’s not create this false narrative of the team trying to sabotage their #1, championship-favorite driver.

I love Japan every year! Definitely one of my favorite tracks in the vibes are always so fun and energetic. See y’all in Miami. 😎☀️

MERC ON TOP !!!! 🖤

Sorry I’ve been bad about posting, but I did just wanna come on here and say that I woke up to a bunch of news about “frustration” and “difficulty” on George’s end during quali in Japan. And then I look at the grid and GR is P2. LOL

God I love this season so far. 🤣🤣

P1 in the sprint babayyyyy very nice, very nice

[whereiswhane]

There are just so many things I could say about this, but I’d better just leave it here.

[whereiswhane]

Sprint pole for George!

He was .289 off of P2, and something like .6ish off of P3. Once again, can we stop with the rocketship comments? Yeah, the car is amazing, but let’s put some credit on our drivers’ names.

[whereiswhane]

This is the same man who JUST said “You get paid a stupid amount of money to drive, so you can't really complain at the end of the day. You can retire if you want."

Lando Norris is unsurprisingly still unlikeable and braincell-less in the great year of 2026.

[whereiswhane]

I keep seeing comments about “illegal” engines/cars etc in regard to Merc’s projected success and 1-2 in quali. Before we say things like that, let’s just consider two (of many) reasons why that is not the case:

1) James Allison, who essentially built the chassis of the W17, is an underrated constructor with ELEVEN championships to his name. It’s time we put more respect on it!

2) McLaren, Williams, and Alpine also all have Mercedes powertrains. If it was ONLY the Merc engine that was the problem then all those customer teams would be fast too. But they’re not. Therefore it’s not just the engine making us fast. Other teams just weren’t as effective at building everything outside of the engine. No malicious intent behind that, just statement of fact.

😁

GEORGE ON POLE!!!!

AND KIMI WITH A MIRACULOUS P2 AFTER TOTALING THE CAR JUST HOURS PRIOR

Let’s hope the boys can convert this to a 1-2 finish.

Huge shoutout to everyone in the garage for working so hard to get Kimi back out there. So proud of the team!!!!

This picture goes so incredibly hard. We’ve never been more back. Merc dominance era is INCOMING, I been telling y’all. 🖤🩵😎🔥
