The Racing Thread

Good race. The field is so random now you just have no idea what it's going to look like.
 
After today's Q3 performances, the race better not suck tomorrow. Q3 was just too good to be followed by a shit race.
 
Stupid Lando.

As a McLaren fan, I has the sad. As an unrepentant OP81 fanboi, I had to explain to my wife why I was yelling "Ha ha, you stupid fuck" at the TV.

Mark Palpatine and Darth Piastri are coming and I'm all about watching Lando cry and Zak eat shit when he realizes his boy is the #2 driver.

Talk about conflicting loyalties lol. It's like when the Army Infantry and USMC Infantry are shit talking each other and then the coast jumps in and gets jumped by both.

AWP - "fuuuuuuuuuck Lando, Go Piastri! Oh you talking shit about McLaren??? Piastri and Lando coming for that ass!"

His presser on Thursday was horrible, so bad I was surprised at his practice and qualifying laps.

The info under the video?
We hear from the likes of Oscar Piastri, George Russell, Max Verstappen and the rest of the grid...

Lando is leading the points, but he third interviewed and F1 couldn't even put him in the blurb about the video? Lando, this is your time to shut down everyone including me who think you're too soft. He has the talent, but not the brain.
 
He's too emotional. Max is a killer. Piastri is a killer. He's baby poop. I like him, but man, he's such a bitch when he's down.
 
Max, you were flat wrong on the penalty. You were subjected to your own tactics and justifiably lost your protest/ tantrum. Your in-car view supports your argument, but with multiple external camera angles your argument falls flat. Had you made the case for swapping positions instead of time, that's an argument worth entertaining.

Warm regards,
Basically every non-Max fanboi.
 
I don't want to jinx the man, but he has to be the favorite right now. I wouldn't count Max or even Lando out because every race this season was won by the pole sitter. The talk of "clean air" seems to be true, tire deg and handling are poor when running behind others.

2026 is coming, so at what point will the front running teams stop upgrading the 2025 cars?

Mentally, unless Lando finds a truckload of killer instinct (the odds are against this), this is a fight between Oscar and Max. Oscar proved he won't allow Max to intimidate him. Lots of races left though.
 
With the just cap I don't think they stop spending money, especially if they're in a heated constructors battle. Perhaps if the points spread is large. But the teams like Haas and Williams? They're all in since they're in a good spot.

It isn't the money, but the time. Every day your engineers focus on 2025 is a day lost to 2026. Parts built for 2025 will count against this year's cap, but you can't make up the man hours spent in creating, testing, and building the designs.
