Formula 1 and MotoGP - Racing

This was a pretty good and exciting race. Max not letting Checo pass him at the end for more points was cold blooded. LeClerc whining about Sainz finishing ahead of him so he could get more points was also laughable.

Statement from Red Bull considering the Max not giving position back. They shouldn't have even released a statement.

Fuck F1.

F1 sucks ass, but it sure doesn't need another backmarker team.

I want them to make it. I want to see what kind of F1 car caddy would make.

This sounds like a job for AI

Ford coming back to F1 in 2026 with Redbull.

I saw! Sky did a short stream about it. Looks more of a cash for branding kind of thing.

20 days till testing!

Testing in a couple days!

Yay! My weekends haven’t been the same without being up ass early with some coffee watching f1 on the backyard tv.

realistically, Red Bull is too far gone with development for a real challenger, but I’m excited about the next tier + mid field battles.

my boy, Pierre, shit the bed last year, but he has one last shot and has to beat his nemesis, Esteban!

This guy is almost as good as Ted!

New season of Drive to Survive starts today.

I'm through six episodes of DTS, and this so far has been the best scene. lol

Just joined GridRival fantasy league for F1. Looks fun and I’m impressed to have been invited by one of my hotter coworkers, even though I know her husband is the one obsessed with F1.

Fun story from Ted

Aston Martin looks to be on the same level as Ferrari and Mercedes now, that could get interesting even if Red Bull dominates the front row. Even that remains to be seen, statistically winning the first race of the season isn't a strong indicator of the championship.

Max was coasting through qualy and the race. Conservative estimate is they are 1s/lap faster in full race trim, possibly even faster.

Teams can come back from a half second deficit over the course of an entire season IF they have all the right people in all the right places. MB and Ferrari do not have this luxury. The only thing standing between Max's 3rd WDC are reliability issues, and it seems they have that well nailed down.

Yea RB definitely dominated that race. It's a long season though and you never know what can happen, some "rule clarification" thing can come in and end RB's lead, much like what happened to Ferrari a few years ago.

Even if they continue to dominate it doesn't have to be a worthless season necessarily, there's been other seasons where one driver just wins everything (Schumacher, Hamilton) and most of the interesting stuff happens a few places back. If the TV directors aren't idiots that just show the leader all the time but try to focus on where the action is, the race can still be fun to watch. Think they did a decent job here, I enjoyed this race even if a Verstappen win was obvious early on.
