F1 2022 - gather round, Formula 1 racing fans

Previous thread.

Given how hilariously inaccurate Drive To Survive has been in past seasons, I expect this season to be no different. Look for the Lewis Hamilton/Max Verstappen accident at Silverstone to be portrayed as Hamilton taking out a hit on him by blasting hip hop from his car and tossing loose diamonds from his jewellery onto the track in order to cause a puncture.

What do people make of the new cars (excluding Red Bull who've only shown the FIA show car in RB livery) launched so far? To my eyes they all seem to look refreshingly different from one another.

The new front wing is fucking ugly.

The nose looks much higher. Looks kind of like an Indy car.

I miss Kimi already.

Williams has a new sponsor, Duracell, but that's pretty much it. Albon doesn't come with sponsors from Thailand?

R7 Jost Capito was interviewed and said that financially Williams currently didn't need to be chasing a title sponsor. Could be bullshit or true given the new cost cap plus Dorilton paying off the team's debt.

Of course, there could also be stuff going on behind the scenes with the VW Group for the future.

Michael Masi is gone as race director. The FIA tried to bury the announcement by scheduling it the same time as the Ferrari unveiling.

I first figured out that Masi wasn’t up to the job in Spain last year, the first time I saw him duck outside for a cigarette between sessions, pot belly hanging over his pants. He has no stamina.

Mercedes W13 is back to silver and while I loved the clean look of the black, the Silver Arrows are sharp.

I’m going to my first F1 race this year. In Austria. I’m excited! Has anyone ever been there? Or any race? Any advice?

I’ve been to Melbourne a few times. No advice. Bring an umbrella, so guess?

Ear plugs, sunblock, good shoes, cash and good friends. That is what is needed for FI events.

Sometimes the best sights are in the party district the night after the race, in my opinion.

Although, in Melbourne, the winners don’t stay to party. The drivers get out of dodge and into their private jets for the 20 hour flight home. I ran into Nico Rosberg fending off professional autograph hunters at the airport after he won in, I think, 2016.

The good news: Uralkali and Nikita Mazepin are out aid Haas.

The great news: Kevin Magnussen is back! He is a genuine talent. He was offered a Toro Rosso seat but he elected to stay with Haas during their Rock Star era and was dumped for his efforts. So this is sweet.

So happy the execrable Mazepins are out of F1. You can tell everyone at HAAS is pleased to be shot of the nasty little shit. Great to have KMag back!

tomorrow new season of Netflix : Drive to survive, Max refused to participate, shame since he ended up having the biggest storyline of the year by winning the championship against Lewis...

Giron Vs Musetti is a very fappable watch!

Oops. Wrong thread!

Anyone watch a Drive to Survive yet? Any highlights? Any naked ass this season? (Preferably Alonso)

I haven’t watched DTS since season 1 because it annoyed me so much.

R20 it's not too bad this year, they had a lot of content, so they didn't have make shit up (too much).

Just a quick look at Russel in his underwear, and a comment about Bottas' butt from last season of DTS.

There is one episode about the Mazespin and their relationship with the team, it helps to understand why it didn't work.

Valtteri Bottas did some nude cartwheeling in Australia during the off season

Nikita Mazepin rightfully comes off like an entitled piece of shit. The real world hit him over the head with a 2x4 and he couldn't handle it. Glad he's out for 2022.

That was a fun race. The only bad thing I can say is the new cars are ugly and slow, it’s like watching Indy cars.

Seeing Ferrari back on top was fun. Equally fun was KMag’s return and best of the rest result. The Red Bull Power Trains fails mixed things up though when I saw Gasly’s car catch on fire at the same corner where Romain Grosjean crashed my heart went into my throat. And those Mercedes were porpoising like crazy, so the p3 and p4 were a surprise and I Lewis Hamilton’s podium acted as an exorcism for Abu Dhabi last year.

Top 5 hottest drivers:

1. Carlos Sainz 2. Fernando Alonso 3. Lewis Hamilton 4. Charles LeClerc 5. Daniel Ricciardo

You’re crazy.

Max belongs in the top 2. He is absolutely gorgeous.

Really happy about Ferrari 1 and 2.

Felt horrible for Perez and Max.

Max looks like a blowfish.

Gasly could get it but Alonso remains the Spanish daddy.

I made the mistake of watching the first episodes of DTS and Christian Horner annoyed me so much that I couldn’t watch the rest of the series.

So I laughed my ass off when the new RB engines fizzled out - and that after Verstappen’s multiple radio tantrums.

It was also super funny when Bottas did a terrific qualifying run and did his classic terrible start dropping back 7 places by the first corner. Glad he and Zhou got in the points though as I was a Sauber fan back in the day.

Carlos Sainz is so fucking hot. How can someone be this beautiful?

Yep, Sainz is hot. Great lips and hair. He’s got good videos on his YouTube channel of him doing day to day stuff and he’s a funny guy as well.

Alonso is also hot. He’s the most fuckable to me. Lewis is handsome. Ricciardo has a great nose and smile but his personality (or the one he puts on) is a bit much. Charles is pretty. I don’t think that guy ever had an awkward phase.

Ocon, Mick, and Albon are pretty cute. I like Ocon’s quasi-bucktooth smile.

Gasly is unique looking. Sometimes he looks very good and the other times he just looks strange. He should model when he’s done driving. He’s got the look for it.

Alonso is not aging very well, but the old pictures of him are really hot, Briatore made sure we had some "sexy" pictures of him. Nowadays I think he is with his "best friend/manager/brother", they seems to spend more time together than with Alonso's girfriend. Have you guys watch his documentary on Amazon? It's also on YT.

I want to see Christian Horner and Toto Wolff hate fuck each other.

Make that Toto and Cyril Abiteboul and I’d sign up for that. His tattoo video was hot as fuck.

I' would disagree R33. I find Fernando much hotter now than in his early days. To my eyes, he's far more masculine and sexy.

What's going on with McLaren?

R37 Apparently, they miscalculated about their brake cooling requirement and the fix they've had to put in place has buggered up the aerodynamics. Sounds like something they should be able to resolve in time, but may mean that they struggle for the next few races at least.

Do we think the will be Vettel’s last year?

I don't care for it at all. Let's get rid of these dumb wasteful sporting events. Bad Metaphors fossil fuels and competition winner looser duality. What is it good for.

[quote] What is it good for

Following the careers of men with BDF driving vroom cars.

I see your point. The Drivers do tend to be hotttttttt!

Lewis Hamilton has a new rival - a FASHION rival!

Guanyu Zhou arrived in the paddock dressed Prada and armed with a yellow handbag.

After the week of turmoil and executions in Saudi Arabia and a Yemeni missile hitting the nearby Aramco plant during FP1, it looks like some drivers are mutinying.

This is what happens when you get in bed with the Saudis

Holy fucking shit! That’s insane 😳

I wouldn't like to be in the audience for the race, it's fucking dangerous, Aramco is the main sponsor, of course they are a target!

There stands were practically empty last week as well. Which made the fake crowd noises via Sky even more conspicuous.

OMG, I hope Schumi is all right.

That was a horrible crash. Hope his scans turn up negative.

Checo scores an utterly brilliant pole and virtually the first thing Christian Horner talks about is Max. And people think Bottas had a rough deal at Mercedes.

To be fair, Christian Horner fears being beaten to death by Jos Verstappen.

Who's the cute twink standing next to Toto? Is that his son?

it's Nick de Vries, the "spare" driver, he is in Formula E if i'm not mistaken

This is some weird shit

Has Nicholas Latifi taken the place of Nikita Mazepin as the king of crashes?

Surely this is Latifi’s last year. Replace him with Oscar Piastri who won’t get an Alpine seat as long as Alonso is around and is so desperate to drive he will work for pennies for Williams.

This could be Charles’ year. I’m okay with that. I’m sick of Lewis and not a Max fan.

Not crazy about George, either.

Alex Albon was a total hero today - 57 laps on the hard tyre and scoring a point from last on the grid. Williams really needed that.

Great results today.

Happy for Ferrari and happier still, for Perez.

R33 here, my bad, I was wrong, Alonso is getting a new girlfriend, an austrian (like BWT, Alpine's main sponsor) motorsport journalist who covers F1, I was wrong, there is nothing fishy between Alonso and his manager/best friend/brother.

Does anyone else watch the MotoGP?

[quote] Bad Metaphors fossil fuels and competition winner looser duality. What is it good for.

Formula 1 competition when Greta Thunberg rules the world

Have the teams arrived in that shithole state yet?

No, but the fake water for the "marina" has arrived...

Oh that’s nasty man

WTF is that?

In light of the jewellery ban, if Lewis has to take out his Prince Albert I hope it is on live TV.

R71, I'd be very happy to help him.

I’d watch that. I think Lewis is cute.

I’m rooting for Carlos tomorrow. I don’t want Charles to get a runaway lead in the points.

Yes, hopefully we get a Ferrari 1 and 2

Carlos needs this win. I think the poor guy will crack if there’s another failure this weekend.

Lots of celebs.

I’m not a fan of all the hype for this race. Hopefully it will have died down by next year.

But I’m also a grump who doesn’t care for celebrities or social media or the whole ‘scene’ of being seen. I just want to watch the race.

I do like Vettel’s helmet

Back

I think this will be his last year as an F1 driver. He doesn’t seem as focused on driving as he used to be.

C’mon Carlos. I’m rooting for you, sexy!

Aww, both Carlos and Charles have cute little baby faces.

Que lindos 🥰

Plus Max is gorgeous as well. 😍

Damn the cameraman for panning away from shirtless Carlos in the cooldown room. We got an extended closeup of Charles (nice), but half-naked Carlos was right there! I know we saw a bit at the end when he was putting a new shirt on, but we could’ve had more.

I think it would’ve been on brand for Miami, too- a hot shirtless guy. More so than the stupid football helmets.

I’m pretty sure they told him to back off and focus on the other guy.

🤷🏻‍♀️

I want to see Carlos' hairy pink hole so bad.

More Carlos uncovered...

Hot.

Did anyone watch Sebastian Vettel on BBC one’s question time tonight? He talked about energy issues and other current crises I guess.

I’m glad he shaved his hobo beard, but the hair is awful! What is he thinking with that mess? I hope he’s okay-he’s not having such a great season so far.

Carloooooos…

Bottas showed his Bottass on Instagram again.

Not bad colouring at at for someone so pale.

Haha bottas. I appreciate him showing his ass, even if it reminds me of a little pink baby butt.

I’d rather see a nice hairy ass like I think Danny Ric has! There’s gotta be an ass pic of him out there, no?

Around 14 seconds in it sounds like someone whispers to Carlos, “Carlos, would you like to put a T-shirt on?”

And Carlos responds, “Just don’t film me.” Lol.

He also said he lost 4.9 kilos during the race. Wow.

not too bad for a spanish gp, some decent actions on track, even if they sometime left it by themselves? Shame for Leclerc...

Mercedes definitely back in the mix, and Ferrari looking distinctly wobbly.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Lando’s best look

Red Bull Rejects, just being bros together

Lando Nowins has tonsillitis, monkeypox and the omega variant and Daniel Ricciardo still can’t beat him.

Yeah- I think this is going to be Ricardo’s last year…. (Unless he wants to drive for Williams)

Is he worth it to Williams? I’m assuming they will hire one of their Mercedes reserves or Piastri or Shwartzman or some rich F2 guy to replace Latifi next year. In pure talent, yeah, Ricciardo is better than Albon, but he’s not even regularly making top 10s this year, let alone top 6s.

Daniel Ricciardo has more of a NASCAR persona.

Yes, that is an insult.

I want Charles to at least finish this race (if it ever gets started). He’s never finished a race in Monaco. Cmon Sharl!

Bottas's lovely bum makes a reappearance in Monaco

not that boring for a Monaco grand prix....

We can thank the rain for that.

Tom Cruise on top of the box office, Sergio Perez wins the Monaco Grand Prix - it’s a big weekend for the doppelgängers.

Checo deserved that win after having to sacrifice Spain for Max.

gutted for Fernando, starts P2, ends up P7, finish P9 after a 5' penalty...

Lewis is back on the podium!

Nice to see Big Daddy in P3 back in the podium.

Poor Carlos. Always the bridesmaid…

Bummed for Mick. And Magnussen. I was hoping both of them would at least get a point.

What's going on with McLaren? And who's getting Danny Ric's seat next year?

I think Danny Ric is staying put. Gasly's been confirmed as staying with Alpha Tauri.

Unless McLaren decide to transfer over either Colton Herta or Pato O'Ward from IndyCar, I can't see them being interested in anyone else.

And it looks like Piastri will go to Williams to replace Latifi next year...

Toto is insufferable. Non-stop whining, sanctimony and lies.

I’ve heard so much about Piastri and his talent I want to see him in F1.

I think he’s a nice guy, but there’s really no point keeping Latifi around. He’s dead weight. Give someone new a chance.

What did he say r110? Is this about The Netflix meeting?

Typical Toto bullshit, about other teams' drivers saying what they were told to say, when it's obvious GR and LH were doing that. They all spew enough shit to fill a 747, but I can't stomach Toto's sanctimony (and LH whines like his life depends on it).

[quote]LH whines like his life depends on it

Meh, Lewis Hamilton whines no more and usually less than other drivers but for various and obvious reasons his responses are reported more widely in the F1 press and on social media.

Nelson Piquet Sr called Lewis the Brazilian equivalent of the n-word twice in an interview last year and the Brazilian media outlet released the footage just in time for Silverstone.

His son NP jr who drove against (and lost to) Lewis in the lower formulae tried to excused it by saying it means “friend” and his grandmother used to call. Black Brazilians have piped up calling bullshit. It’s used “friend” between black people (not a hard-r n-word then?) plus Piquet was insulting Lewis in the interview and the whole family has publicly hated him for years so his intention wasn’t squeaky clean.

Piquet's always been nasty trash: said vile thing's about Mansell's wife, spread gay rumours about Senna in the Brazilian press, chauffeurs Bolsonaro around.

Bolsonaro?! What a piece of shit.

Rune 2 sets down to Gorgeous Giron.

Hopefully, at least one of the Tour Assholes will fall today.

[quote]Bernie Ecclestone says he would 'take a bullet' for 'first class' Vladimir Putin as he defends war in Ukraine

[quote]The former F1 boss said Russian President Vladimir Putin was a "first class person" who had made "mistakes" - as he criticised Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy for "not listening" to the Kremlin.

What the fuck.

Ban him from the paddock as well.

Chase Carey ripped Bernie a new one in 2020 for this bit of insanity (and Carey’s wife is ultra-Republican, that’s how toxic he knew Ecclestone is) because he knew how retrograde makes F1 look.

So my UMC grandmother is really into her F1, and she used to rally in her youth. Personally, I can't drive and am not interested in cars or motorsport at all (I like and 'get' football/soccer, snooker and darts--the poor trash sports), but I'm trying to connect with her better, so I'm wondering if there's some core nugget of F1 that I'm missing which would bring me enjoyment and understanding. Is liking cars a vital pre-requisite? Or liking race-based sport?

Apparently a lot of top-flight footballers are fans of F1, so maybe that's my way into it--just imagine my Prem boys getting really into it, and gritting my teeth until it clicks?

You need to watch qualifying, r122. It’s the best not of the weekend.

R122 there is plenty of videos on YT to give you some context and help you understand who is who in F1.

R121 Chase Carey used to work for Rupert Murdoch at Fox News, I think he has no problem working with/for scumbags.

Piquet also came for Keke Rosberg, with added homophobia for Hamilton.

Max, come get your father in law.

Carlooooooos!! Happy for him.

Crazy race. Glad Zhou is okay. That was a vicious wreck.

[quote] that’s how toxic he knew Ecclestone is

Wasn't Ecclestone the one caught in that Nazi paraphernalia / hooker scandal years ago? His recent comments really surprise no one, the guy's a total wacko.

^ That was Max Moseley.

He sued and won when a tabloid screamed he was a Nazi fetishist when the evidence and the prostitutes stated he merely had a passion for German-speaking orgies and being dominated.

You’ll be shocked, shocked, to learn that his parents were Oswald Moseley and Diana Mitford.

I’m going to the Austrian GP this weekend (my first live race! Exciting) and I flew from Heathrow to Vienna today and guess who was on my flight? Alex Albon. Woot woot.

I was one of the first ones to the departure gate and took a seat, and then I look over to this tall guy with purple hair walking in and it was Alex. He sat in some seats against the wall and put his two carryons on the two seats next to him (I guess so no one would bother him. Understandable). A group of five teens saw him and went over and asked for a selfie, which he said of course!, but no one else bothered him. Which was nice to see.

After the flight I figured he’d be long gone (he was in first class, me in coach) but I saw him at the baggage claim. Again only one person asked for a pic. I was waiting sort of out of the way for my bag (away from the big jumble of people at the start of the conveyer belt) and Alex came over my way and stood near me. I decided to say something since he was so close, I didn’t expect to see him again, and I knew I probably wouldn’t ever have another opportunity.

I told him I liked his helmet from last race and asked if he’d be wearing it this weekend. He smiled and said thanks and that he wouldn’t. I said it was cute and I liked the cats. He laughed. That’s all I said, I didn’t want to be too annoying. I didn’t ask for a selfie or an autograph. I feel pretty good about that.

He’s cute. Especially when he smiles. He has great skin as well. I hope he gets in the points on a Sunday.

Alex’s Silverstone helmet. These are some of his family’s pets.

^^^ Is he a furry?

R129 that is awesome- thanks for sharing! You sound as cool as Albon! 🥰

R129 could give us an idea what it's like to go a race after the week-end? I always wonder if it was worth the money/time/energy.

Not r29 but I’ve been to Melbourne 4 times. It’s a very, very expensive weekend. I wouldn’t go unless you’re a big fan of racing. I am, so I enjoyed myself.

I'd relate my experience at a live F1 race, but it was when Emerson Fittipaldi secured the championship posthumously for Jochen Rindt at Watkins Glen, with Jacky Ickx second. I suspect things have changed.

R135 go on, I'm listening! that might be more interesting than a 2022 race!

Well, I recall Ickx coming from way back in the field to second. Had he won he would have been Champion instead of Rindt. And Watkins Glen is beautiful.

LH Bulge Watch Volume 234

Charles is so over it!

Body language between Ferrari boys is so cold. They may enter their I Hate Amy TeamMate Era.

I need them to sort it out. In a hot tub.

A hatefuck on the roof of the Ferrari hospitality centre would be hot!

Bottom Carlos?

Like on the track, think they would be literally wrestling for dominance.

R129 there are problems with harassment from the red bull fans, are you ok? Are you in a grandstand with Max's fans?

Yay, Charles.

Ferrari need to get their shit together. WtF happened to the car? It went up in flames!!

😖😖😭🤬

Thanks for the concern r144! I am just fine, back at my hotel after an exhausting, but fun!, three days.

Thankfully I was not sitting in one of Max’s grandstands. That would be hell! There were sooo many Max fans at the race. That one section out near the bull statue would be terrible for a non Red Bull fan (like me). So many loud, drunk, obnoxious people with all those smoke flares. And in the sun. No thank you. I had enough of them in the fan/shop areas.

I was seated in the start/stop grandstand and it was definitely civilized. No problems that I saw, but I 100% believe there was a problem for other people- especially woman. Some people are just assholes. Like the ones who cheered when Lewis crashed during the Sprint. That was shitty.

I won’t ever go to a Belgium or Netherlands race as long as Max is a driver- too many of his fans there!

I’m happy Charles won! He needed that. It was pretty scary when Carlos’ car caught fire, started rolling backwards, and Carlos was still in it. Glad he’s okay. Happy for Mick and Haas also!

My fav driver, Vettel, didn’t do so well, but he started the race and the sprint yesterday directly in front of where I was sitting so i got some sweet pics of him and his fantastic bee helmet. Though, I don’t think he smiled once. This was not his weekend. :(

I had such a blast. Maybe I’ll do Canada next year (finances permitting).

Thanks for the report back R146. Just watching the race on C4. One of the better races this season - some great battles and drives up and down the grid.

Glad you enjoyed yourself, r146. The track is so gorgeous as is Spa, but I won’t be going there.

I can understand cheering when a driver drives off because it’s sort of exciting but throwing a dance party when he’s silent in the car and you don’t know if all his limbs are unbroken is another matter. Did the Max fans forget what happened to Zhou just last week?!

Most of the crazy behaviour reported - lifting skirts, pissing at opposing fans feet, groping and sexual comments - would have the instigators ejected where I live because the venues and organisers don’t want to open themselves up to criminal liabilities. Maybe the regulations are different in Austria, but it’s a bad look.

R129 R146 could you give us an idea of how much it cost to go to a F1 race? Did you manage to find some accommodation, how much is the food at the track, etc...?

R149 for what it's worth, here is a cost breakdown to give you an idea

Isn’t there a very select club that you can join and you go to every single race?

Like deluxe accommodations, private parties with the drivers and of course tickets to all the events and the race itself?

That would be incredible. 😳.

Yes r151, what you’re desiring is paddock club access.

As for private parties with the drivers they are there to work, they do as little PR as their contracts will allow them. Most of them fly out hours after the race.

You get the chance to suck Carlos' dick if you pay enough.

Thanks, R152.

That would be so, so awesome.

I got $259.78 to burn. Think that’d be enough?

R155 maybe to have a ticket for a seat in the grand stand in China, you just have to finance the travel/accommodation there...

R155 maybe to have a ticket for a seat in the grand stand in China, you just have to finance the travel/accommodation there...

Sorry, I don't know what happen with the double posting...

Lol I meant was it enough to blow Carlos. 😂

I'm gutter for Charles, so many points wasted.

Racing is so dangerous. Ban it!!!

Charles is going to have some serious grey hair when his stint with Ferrari is over. Or he’ll be bald from stress.

This is not a happy noise.

Seb is saying sayonara.

Naturally, Danny Ricc‘s teenage girl fans think Aston Martin want him, LOL.

I’ll miss seeing Vettel out there. I picked him as my favorite driver back in 2014. I was hoping he’d go to a new team after this year and keep at it for another couple of years.

But you could tell the guy is unhappy (from the hobo hair and beard alone) and Aston Martin wasn’t doing it for him.

I think Lewis will be done after next year, and Alonso will drive until he’s 45.

McLaren is better than Aston Martin, Ricciardo would be dumb to make that switch.

R164 I support Lewis Hamilton, Kevin Magnussen and Carlos Sainz.

There’s also Oscar Piastri and possibly Logan Sargent next year.

The drivers in the second press conference were asked if they were interested in Aston Martin.

They all (politely) said no, but the best response was from Bottas:

"I never believed I'd say it, but I have a contract!"

I like Bottas. He’s low key funny and I appreciate a man willing to show ass.

they need somebody who can develop a car, I hope Alonso is not going to AM, it would be a set back, Alpine needs him. I don't understand why they haven't sign him yet for 2023, he is really asking for that much money? He is supposed to have millions in banks. His name shows up every time there is a "panama paper" story in the news.

I hope he stays at Alpine also. I like him and Ocon together. This video is cute.

Charles looked so nakedly sad, so hopelessly vulnerable in the media pen.

Treat him gently, Carlos

It’s going down at Alpine. Oscar Piastri has pulled a Pato O’Ward.

R172 Absolute carnage at Alpine - losing Alonso and Piastri (subject to contract bust up) in 2 days!

Maybe opens a door for Pourchaire to step up?

At this point it’s anyone’s guess.

I just don’t want Danny Ricc to move to yet another team, he has been moping around like a kicked puppy since 2019.

At least the RyanAir admin won’t have to delete this tweet, like they did their Prince William pegging joke.

Calling it now - Piastri is replacing Yuki Tsunoda at Alpha Tauri with an eye to taking Perez’s seat in 2025.

OMG 5 days without being able to post!!!!! FFS what did I do to deserve that!

anyway, I am R169 and I hate to see I was right to see Alonso at Aston. I'm gutted.

Even weirder is Piastri's contract timing, super suspect. Alonso doesn't need to throw the all Alpine team under the bus, he could tell Rosi and Otmar to go fuck off, he is too old for that kind of shit, he should know better by now.

Apparently Alonso was being paid, or was offered a contract for 2023, for less than Ocon. And we all know how his ego is. He’s still a major brat. Alpine is apparently bleeding money.

Mark Webber read the writing on the Ricciardo wall from Zac Brown’s comments and was clearly in cahoots with Alonso to release Piastri to McLaren which is a cooler brand and has money for development.

Even if Ricciardo stays at McLaren, it must suck to work at a place where know you aren’t wanted. Sounds like they want him gone and Oscar in.

Ricciardo to Haas?

Ricciardo is a great driver, who constantly was put in the second best cars. They are doing him dirty. Plus he's hot. Sexy people deserve better.

Piastri isn’t going be a fan fav at first if he takes Daniels seat. People like him.

Get real, Ricciardo has been stinky for years and is coasting off his persona. He’s a good driver but not a great one - or maybe he peaked in 2020 when he was at Renault. He beat Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen at various points but Vettel peaked at a young age as a driver and has 4 championships to show for his efforts, and Verstappen was in his Crashstappen era then.

He couldn’t beat Max in the same car now. Hamilton has shown he is still one of the top 2 drivers on the grid. Norris has humiliated him. Russell, LeClerc, Alonso and arguably Magnussen would smoke him. I think it’s his own fault for leaving Red Bull. I wouldn’t want to be a work for the belligerent Horner or the crazy Marko, but he also wanted to be the number 1 driver in a team when he’s no longer up to the task. Bouncing from team to team shows a weakness of character.

F1 and the FIA would want him around for a couple of years as the sport goes onto ESPN and adds the Las Vegas race so he’ll have no trouble getting a seat. If, say, Schumacher goes to Alpine, he could be a fun fit for Haas and a very popular ambassador for the team in America.

R178 Alonson was offered less money than ASTON, not OCON. The kid only won one race, Alonso has two championship!! There is at least one digit difference between them. If Ocon get 1 million (and I'm not sure he really get it), Alonso get 10 millions.

That's stupid, now that Piastri is gone to McLaren, Alpine can offer the multiyear contract he wants, and when he is fed up driving, he can have a go at being team principal, after Otmar is shown the door...

Don’t underestimate Alonso’s sheer pettiness. The only reason a driver as great as he is has only 2 championships is because of his own self-sabotage. He has a history of flouncing off from teams.

Lewis Hamilton covers Vanity Fair

The blue cover is the best:

Nice brown nips. Look chewy.

Carlos and Charles cover GQ. Hot tub not included.

Charles' brothers are so hot. 2:00

R187 it is nice, but his hairline reminds me a bit of Mr. T. Not the best.

Omg, at first glance the lighting on this picture made me think that Carlos’ jacket was open and we were seeing his chest hair, but it’s just the leather on his jacket 😂

He’s sexy. Charles is cute.

That would be some chest hair, r192! Carlos is a complete smoke show.

Get that money, Daniel

Thank you, R186, what a beautiful man, inside and out.

Love Lewis...he's matured so well. I guess being GOAT certainly helps.

New F3 Champion, Victor Martins, is HAF. Hope he gets to F1

More gratuitous Victor. Shirtless.

Gorgeous Gasly has my full attention

Pierre and Charles serving fapworthy content on Insta.

Carlos, an ice bath, and his rubber ducky...
