We live in a reality where Max Verstappen might actually retire before Fernando Alonso does 😭

"everyone is a ferrari fan" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person gives 0 fucks about ferrari. Ferraris Sebastian, who lives in mountain & thinks 10,000 ferrari thoughts each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

He just doesn’t bring anything to F1 except a name, a fan base, passion for racing, money, facilities … oh wait

Andretti opening a whole facility without even being in F1 and Williams not even having a spare chassis really just…

Like how they do they…

Scrolling through the tags on just waking up and did a bunch of people mass hallucinate something in the cooldown room

This is the full video of the cooldown room and in it Max wasn’t insulting Carlos at all? If you don’t clip it out of context this is what is said:

Carlos (to Max): you never thought of a one-stop?

Max: *shrugs* I mean we could have done it but it was for us probably a little bit slower. And you are just struggling with the tyres, you know what I mean?

(Max goes to sit down. Checo looks at Carlos)

Checo: Charles was strong eh, today?

Carlos: Quite strong.

(They go to sit to watch the highlights)

There is nothing here that suggests Max is insulting Carlos’s tyre management. If anything he’s generally saying that Red Bull chose a two stop to avoid any unnecessary struggle with the tyres. The most popular “Red Bull is hating on Carlos” cooldown room clip going around specifically cuts off before Carlos replies to Checo.

It’s an exercise in media literacy. Take a clip out of its full context and add some sound effects and you have false media.

Maybe they’re not watching f1

saw someone on Twitter say they've never seen Oscar have a good race and I'm genuinely seething because that's just literally not true, recency bias in this sport is genuinely insane el oh el

Sorry but Toto Wolff saying Russell shouldn’t get a penalty because there wasn’t contact between him and Piastri is hilarious after what happened with Alonso last race

sky sports: if only the red bulls got taken out, we could have a very interesting race like last time

Average RBR team radio ‘24: Who won the bet? Who had their money on me this time around? Haha y’all are so silly!

Average non RBR team radio ‘24: What is happening? How are we so slow? Why is my car falling apart? This strategy sucks! Is the car on fire? I can smell smoke!

How close do y’all think is Ocon to singing Le Mis songs on the team radio?
