Formula 1 #8

I don’t think the MCL36 is capable of making it to Milan from Lombardy in one and a half hours

They’ll get a tow from the AT03 of course

Has Hamilton confirmed 100% he will definitely race next year? I know he has a contract... But with each passing race, I feel he is closer to sailing off on a yacht into the horizon for a sabbatical year to meditate and make music

I got that impression today. Even with a contract I’m sure he can walk away if he really wants to and Mercedes can save millions in wages.

I wonder what Ferrari will screw up this time... Just as well they don't refuel at pitstops these days, can you imagine?? Fuel all over the gaff

Singapore 2008 - Massa. And McLaren mechanics cheering on the Ferrari mechanics running down the pitlane.

Maybe the next driver liasion after Seb retires? Seb and George currently are so a new 1 is needed next season. So could be that.
Or the sarcastic person I am, to vote for Aston Martins new driver next season the poor bugger!

oh, good thinking! i wonder who it’ll be lewis looks like he’s writing a full essay. i wish it was a longer clip!

i can imagine them all writing “not me” to your second point

 

[FormulinoTheCat]

Not even Alpine socials can be trusted to announce drivers anymore.

They definitely cannot after the Piastri fiasco which was their own doing.
Can't belive they dragged his loyalty through the mud and they were the ones who didn't give him a contract

I thought Canada was meant to move next year to allow all European races to be one after another!

I went to Monza this year and we are thinking of going to another race next year. Any recommendations for a good track? Monza was a great experience as we had great seats right by pole position but the race was a little boring.

How did you get on at Monza? Where did you stay, was it relatively easy to get to the track, was it expensive or reasonably priced (in the grand scheme of F1 anyway)? I was thinking about going next year so input from someone who has already been would be much appreciated I saw some negative comments on twitter about the crowd but I don't know if there was any truth to it or if it was people just trying to stir up stuff on social media.

Sadly, the intense pressure and ambition often seems to lead to the demise of many friendships as well

To be fair, that happens in most careers. Lots of my childhood friend became doctors, and they'll compete and sabotage each other to get their choosen residency, etc. Same in the legal field. People are just naturally competitive.

We know tickets will be going up for sale soon and we've been trying to read up on the different grandstands/corners. Never been so not 100% sure what to expect, but we think we've narrow it down to either Club or Village based on prices and potential for action. Has anyone sat at either corner?

I can’t see Danny Ric going anywhere apart from Alpine. He said he wanted to stay in F1 but not at any cost, so I can’t see him coasting round at the back in a Haas or William’s and AT would definitely be a step backwards.

I agree it would only be Alpine but I'm really not sure that will happen

 

[StephenTJackson]

Sorry missed opportunity there. I thought he looked crazy hot actually.

I mean you're not wrong he is still crazy hot. But Italian Jesus with his long hair was just something for me.

 

[Futtrit]

Poor Alex

Will he be all cleared to race in two weeks? I really doubt it.

Btw: hello fellow kids! Just putting in an application to join this thread. Can I come play with you guys?

Just joking

 

[Gattle09]

Ahh that’s an emotional video

 

[Lucia]

Once a cheater........

Went right off Bottas after all that he clearly thought we were came down on the last shower

 

[Red hair dont care]

What do people think to Russell's chances to convert the pole into a win? I think it'll be hard to defend against two Ferraris directly behind in a faster car....

Not sure tbh. Mercs are so yes good 1 week, shite the next, so who knows which car will turn up! I think the Ferraris will either zoom past him or fight each other.

 

[Albrouze]

Hi, just jumping over from the other thread to let any of fellow Brits that are still awake know that Silverstone tickets are now available. Just got mine for 2022

Not British, but isn't it 2am there? Crazy that you have to get your tickets at that time. Congrats on getting them.

 

[Lucia]

pleased for him but there may already be drama




seems the right choice by alpine and good to see
a young driver with potential being selected - all those danny ricc rumours today still make me worry about him at mclaren though.

Hmm is a good choice gotta love twitter drama. I have a feeling Danny ric will be departing f1

 

[Heidi88]

Has anyone been to a race recently and know of DR merch is being sold there...like his own branded stuff? I am a big DR fan and am going to Monza but I refuse to buy Mclaren merch if they are about to shaft him!

 

[Lola123]

i know! i am like

i truly think/hope pierre is going to alpine, which does make me a little sad as he and yuki obviously have a lovely teammate relationship! if pierre goes, then rumours are surely dictating it will be nyck? i don’t know who else red bull are interested in right now given their comments about their juniors not being quite ready yet.

So then where the heck is Danny ric going?!

 

[Rubythefirebat]

one of the greatest cool down room moments ever.

i hate how polite and camera aware they are in there now! give me this or another “multi 21 seb” (shoutout to @Multi-21 ) moment. or when seb and kyvat had that spat.

oh and max getting removed from the room for a penalty and kimi walking in to take his place like he was in wwe or something.

All of this! The cool down room was my favourite!
Torpedo...
Max was joking a few times after that, if he can stay now or he has to leave again.

I’ll get myself to a bakery and start stockpiling the pastries now shall I?

pick me up a bottle of rose too - if charles loses pole then i may need wine with my pastry
