Oscar!!!

 

[Festerz]

Smart stuff from McLaren and well done Lando.

All about keeping this top team together in harmony for 2025! (and sticking it up to Red Bull and Ferrari in the process - this is what team work looks like guys)

 

[gaskin]

Lol @ Lando losing from Pole again.

 

[happy_eagle]

I guess that makes them even now, good decision by Lando.

Only watched the highlights. Perez just lol. George seemed to complain alot. Interesting duel between Charles and Lewis. Got to give credit to lando didn't have to pull over but he did.

McLaren told him not to do it.

Norris opens up on plan to switch positions with Piastri

Lando Norris has opened up about the thinking behind his decision to allow Oscar Piastri through to take victory in the Qatar Sprint at the last corner, with the Briton claiming that the team had told him not to do it but that he “thought [it] was best”.

Haven’t watched the race but have read about the drs train, wonder if they could let the drivers only have 60% of the laps they qualify for drs, have drs.
So they have to be smart and choose when they use it.

 

[Gak Attack]

George had a nice sook. Makes it even better.

 

[gaskin]

Either give Max the full penalty or give him nothing. A 1 place grid drop because neither car was on a push lap is moronic.

 

[Skull Face]

Smart decision to buy in oscars support if it goes that way next year, there would have been building resentment if lando didn't return the favour now the championship is dead and buried.

George being so close behind adds value as well, it was a risky move that could have cost the 1 2 if not done properly.

God, I hope the rumours of Bottas to RBR are true. He would be the PERFECT second driver for them.
Unfortunately he just doesn't have the Carlos Slim Factor ($$$)

Was actually thinking just this week that Bottas was way too good a driver not to be on the grid next year so that would be a smart signing. Colapinto is a bloody disaster so hope they steer well clear.

i’m not a fan of norris cos he’s a self-absorbed, selfish prick. but it was a nice gesture. wouldn’t be holding my breath for him to do it again if i was oscar, though.

or is it Lando trying to make himself look like the good guy? Def trying to bank some brownie points from Oscar for 2025, which is smart, but it's inevitable that pact will turn bad. Tension has been clearly there since Piastri's first win and reckon he remains dirty on having his moment of glory tainted. So reckon gloves will be off next year. Also Lando throwing in the line he's not here to win Sprint races didn't further endear himself to me

 

[largebus]

"I'm not here to win sprint races" and you're clearly not here to win titles either, prick.

 

[Cromulant]

Russell was in full whinge mode this morning wasn't he.

 

[DamoESP]

Stewards are a joke, again.

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/verstappen-loses-qatar-gp-pole-after-one-place-grid-penalty/10678156/

Prior to the stewards' verdict, Verstappen expressed his surprise at being called to the officials and felt that he was simply reacting to the cars in front - and that Russell should have done the same.

"We were all just driving slowly. I wouldn't know what I could have done differently," Verstappen said. "The fact that I have to go [to the stewards' office] is already very strange to me. Otherwise, next time I'll just drive flat out too and pretend to crash [into the other car]."

"He should have braked. I braked. Just like the cars in front of me. And I don't want to screw them. I'm honestly a bit done with all of this at the end of the season."

Can’t wait for VER to just speed around behind everyone in Quali at Abu Dhabi just to force penalties on them for impeding

Makes decent wine too with Oliver's Taranga.

Went to his opening last year & it's a very good drop!

IHANA WINE

Ihana - Finnish for wonderful or fantastic - a word Valtteri reserves for the truly exceptional. The collaboration of Valtteri Bottas x Oliver’s Taranga is just that - a celebration of competitive craftsmanship.

It was a joke that it was even a penalty

 

[Gunf]

How the **** did Ver get not only a grid drop but a penalty point? wtf

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Liam Lawson reminds me of a young Johnny Lawrence

Because its Max.

They are doing their very best at making him want to walk away from the sport at this rate

At the rate Max is getting pissed at everything stupid to do with the FIA if Redbull don't have a competitive car in 2026 he will walk imo.

You think he will walk from F1, or just from Red Bull ?

Could be something like he takes a 2 year break, then comes back to Newey and Aston Martin once Alonso is ready to call it a day.
