I was trying to come up with something, but that RB too quick in a straight line with DRS. The next two rĢ¶aĢ¶cĢ¶eĢ¶sĢ¶ years are a wrap too. Netherlands and Monza are all about straight line speed. Lewis and Charles couldn't do shyt on that back straight after the hill.

The cost cap really is showing who's the actual smart teams in F1 right now. Adrian Newey might be the GOAT car designer. The man has designed 13 different championship winning cars and they only pay him $10 million per year. I'm shocked another team hasn't thrown an incredible bag to get him away from them.
This shyt is done and dusted until engine changes in 2026 :hubie:

As a casual, I still think they need to do something about this going forward. Hats off to RB for their engineering achievements but this season has been pointless to watch. Max and Perez could start 19/20 on the grid and win every race. :hubie:

They're gonna go wire-to-wire this year and there were only four races they didn't win last year. Their drivers don't need any strategy beyond "don't crash."

Toto said they are still dealing with porpoising issues. They started development of this car in early 2021 and still haven't solved the issue 2 years later. Wild.
this is just what merc looks like under Toto. Hopefully they know whatā€™s causing it and a change of chassis will give them a rear end, top speed and no bouncing. But I truly donā€™t have faith. I think Lewis in that ferarri is getting results and pushing that team further

Also do max and Sergio have the same set ups and engines max out 22 sec on his head heā€™s a great driver but they have the same car. And what is rb hiding in performance because I donā€™t think they are just .3-5 tenths faster I think the more

Hopefully rb are the team that breaches again. Either to give a real penalty or solidify that I donā€™t need to be watching this farce any longer

Drivers have but so much control. What is happening at Ferrari is out of the control of the drivers. Lewis at Ferrari today is getting the same results as he is at Mercedes right now. Neither car is within a half second of Verstappen even at their best tracks. Ferrari looked good today because the car is efficient when running low downforce. Watch what happens at Zandvoort. The McLaren and Mercedes will come alive.
