The 2023 Formula 1 Thread

Could be some truth to that.

These days Red Bull, Ferrari, Aston,McLaren and his team mate's Mercedes, is faster than him.

You really are shit at trolling.

Or a fucking idiot.

At least skidmark only meets one of those two options.

Silverstone this weekend.

Gotta love Whinger Spice. He's complaining about the new 2026 Engine rules and saying they should be changed. Of course Toto was asked and said they won't be, at which point Whinger went off on one again.

He laughably claims:

"Unfortunately that's typically Toto where he's just focused on self-performance," the Red Bull boss said. "My interest is actually about the sport rather than self-gain".

Yeah of course he cares all about the other teams.

Luckily for Toto, being in the position of an also-ran for a change, he can just sit back and rip the piss.

"I think what frightens him more maybe is that his engine programme is not coming along and that maybe he wants to kill it that way," Wolff said.
"So you always have to question what's the real motivation to say something like that."

This is no laughing matter. We could be in the early stages of the split up of F1. Red Bull didn't like hybrids from the beginning. This 50% electric shit is just a stepping stone to all electric. Just for green virtue signalling nonsense for corporate technikrauts like Toto.

Red Bull and Ferrari will break away and form their own racing series.

They've completely bolloxed things up with these new tyres rules.

I am a bit confused by the new format. Does this mean the teams must still start the race on the tyres they ran in Q2. Which would mean F1 is trying to control teams' strategy.

EDIT: OK the Q2 tyre rule was abandoned in 2021. I'm still under my rock

[harrybarracuda]

It's just a stupidly complicated way of saying the teams have two less sets of tyres to play with.

What to expect from F1’s new tyre allocation rule in Hungary

[harrybarracuda]

Sir Lewis Hamilton breaks the record for Poles at a single circuit with his NINTH in Hungary.

Amazing drive even though I doubt he'll finish the race there.

Tell me about how fast these McLarens and Ferraris are again?

[Backspin]

Hamilton said on Friday after FP2 that it is the worst the car has been all year. This guy is such a fraud its unbelievable.

Not gonna bother with any F1 media this weekend.

^ ……. and yet, Hamilton is still on pole? It doesn’t take much to piss you off does it?

Oh dear is skidmark whining about the GOAT again?

Umm, I posted that after the fraud got the pole. Its like he's a rookie or something. One lowly pole thanks to the experimental tire format and the entire F1 hamilton homer sycophant media is creaming themselves. It is just unsufferable.

[Troy]

How did the tyre rule change benefit Hamilton? If anything it made things worse for Mercedes.
Hamilton intial comment was after first practice where he was very slow. Looks like they managed to get a better setup.
Mad Max didn't quite get his setup right for the race but I expect him to take the lead early on and win.

[harrybarracuda]

Oh don't worry about skidmark, he's just fucking clueless.

[Norton]

Agree. We will soon see.

[Bettyboo]

Hopefully he crashes out, hitting Grumpy Spice on the way, and they're both out of action for the rest of the season... Bastards...

[Norton]

Verstappen and Red Bull a level way above the rest. Red Bull with a record 12 straight wins.

[bsnub]

So much for all the Hamilton fanboys.

Bit like your Haas prediction eh?

[Troy]

^^ The difference between the cars makes it pretty predictable at the moment. Even on this circuit, Mercedes lacked speed on the straights.

Maybe he doesn't know his Haas from his elbow?
