The Racing Thread

@AWP but you can't deny the comments from Hamilton weren't funny.

THEY WERE AMAZING!!!!!

Tea time? Hilarious and even more so when he didn't deliver. It was two great moments for one radio transmission. I am all about his implosion.

He was very cunty during his last days at Merc and I don't feel sorry for him because of it. I hope he's looking back thinking he made a very bad decision. I also hope Ferrari feels the mistake they made dropping a winning driver for him.

Today's Carlos Sainz probably couldn't compare to Lewis in his prime.

Which doesn't matter because the only race that counts is the one you're in and Carlos is a better driver today, not 10 years ago. Was it a very good marketing move? Yes, even Ferrari's stock went up with the signing. Is it a horrible move on track? Yes. I thought Hamilton would do better, that the Merc was maybe the problem or that Lewis couldn't adapt to the design. No, turns out he's worse than most realized...but oh do they realize now.

That said, I think the sport is better off with Lewis retiring or signing with a different team for this year. Think about all of the moves made because of his to Ferrari. Williams stands a very real chance of profiting this year and in years to come with Carlos. Kimi Antonelli is in a strong car and proving his worth, he doesn't have to go through Haas or Williams or whoever. Bearman and Bortoleto get to start, Colapinto only benefits from Logan Sargeant's poor performance. (RIP Jack Doohan)

Sauber and Alpine move on regardless, and Red Bull's gonna' Red Bull. If Lewis doesn't move to Ferreri though, this is a very different season and shows the sport will do just fine without his washed-up ass.
 
Oliver Oakes just stepped down from Alpine. Briatore will run the team on an "interim" basis which means Doohan better clean out his locker. Oakes was Doohan's primary supporter and Briatore is a piece of shit (and has a hard on for Colapinto), so it isn't hard to see what's going on there.
 
The entire f1 news apparatus is all over Colapinto for Imola.

Can't imagine a multi-felon with a rescinded lifetime ban from the sport operating a chain of money laundering restaurants and clubs would make such a decision...
 
I am LOVING the Indy drama right now. All of the Penske apologists can eat a bag of dicks. What a corrupt POS in Roger Penske and all of his wins over the last 2-3 years (if not more) need asterisks next to them.
 
Monaco was a fun race. Nice day for McLaren.

The sad thing is that it's one of the most boring of the year. If it weren't for history and tradition, this race wouldn't be on any calendar, anywhere.

As a Lando..."dislikener" he did a great job this weekend. Clutch qualifying for the pole, avoided the turn 1 bottle, and didn't spook in the last few laps with Charles living in his exhaust. Lando deserved the win.

Grade A+ trolling by Mercedes. A bit of a dick move too, so I can cheer the act and fully accept them getting nuked from orbit if that's what happens.

Good on F1 for trying something new at Monaco with the pit stops, but ultimately that race will suck for the foreseeable future.
 
I'm actually surprised there weren't more DNFs. Overall, it wasn't the worst race of the year, but one I still wouldn't pay to see.
