I hope Magnussen stays in F1. Not a great driver but a very entertaining one who spices things up.

Fuck Ocon. He is even more disliked than Stroll, even in France.

hass and alpine are two teams that should fuck off from the sport to make space for andretti.

Why? technically there is room for 13 teams, 12 if you go by the [current] Concorde agreement.

Any stonewalling of new teams is solely by FOM and the current teams.

 

[JoseRaulChupacabra]

So apparently, Max has a PU penalty this week. Perfect time for Lando to drop to P3 from pole.

 

[The Grognard]

Then again, it's Spa. The first corner is going to be tough for everyone.

God that press release is faggy lol. I've seen politicians make less cringy speeches than the team that fields fucking KMag.

I don't get why Haas would go for Ocon. Or any team for that matter. Yeah, he won a race but that was the Bottas bowling ball one right? So, he wouldn't have won under normal circumstances, much like Gasly's win. Sure they won, but if the calamities didn't happen in their respective races, they wouldn't have.

Mainly tho, Ocon has been shown to be a hothead, has bad spatial awareness or just a cunt. Maybe all 3. There are so many drivers out there that would slot in better than him, so kind of baffling. He doesn't bring sponsorship money does he? I would like to hear Haas' reasoning for choosing him over others, but of course they will never tell if directly asked why take him over XXXX. They already had KMag who some would consider "reckless" like Ocon, but at least KMag proved he is a team player. I doubt Ocon would do same in similar circumstances. Just weird "logic" (or lack of) in signing him, and a bad move too.

Also, pretty sure I saw a headline a week or so ago (didn't read the article) that it does indeed like Renault is not going to do engines and Alpine will go with Merc. If so, then that would mean half the field will be Merc powered. Surely that won't be the case? Am I forgetting that a team (maybe AM) is getting a new provider?

Let's hope for a good Spa race, no deluges of rain causing pussy FIA red flagging or starting under SC. And no tragedies.

Not to be outdone by Gasly, Tsunoda got a 60 place grid penalty
lmao
(yes, 15+ grid penalties just means starting from the back)

I guess their car was truly fucked.

Does this carry over from race to race i.e. is he going to have to start at the back four races in a row (knocking off fifteen places each time)?

No, it applies to one race only
See Gasly a few races ago

Alpine are utter clowns.



Yet another boss gone and can't even be assed to design their own engines anymore.

So much for being a factory team.

Why does Alpine even bother?

At this stage they might as well just give up and sell the team to Andretti.

Given Renault's history in the sport, they really should be one of the foundational and historic teams. Instead they pull this BPD woman crap every few years.

 

[JoseRaulChupacabra]

Looks like Red Bull is back. New engine is partying hard. A Max win wouldn't surprise me tomorrow.

 

[SirCliveSinclairdabbing]

Could see Perez working as a blocker to hold up the pack tomorrow while max makes his way through.

Winning is good PR, being last all the time is not.

They have had some decent results on F1. It's just this latest run as Renault and Alpine that has shown them to be clowns. Just constantly firing and replacing senior management and engineers and expecting that to somehow fix all their problems.

For a company of that size they should be able to build a winning team but they just won't give enough time or money to anyone to turn it around.

 

[A1 Steak Sauce]

It’s already Landover
