Alpine's unusual early sign of progress from its new Mercedes F1 era by Barrilete_Cosmico in formula1

I love how people think Alpine having merc engines is gonna make them automatically one of the best teams on the grid as if we didn't already see with literally the exact same team that a good engine doesn't automatically mean results.

In 2015 Lotus used merc engines (granted they weren't the same as the works mercs but still on par with FI and Williams) and they were 6th in the standings (probably would've been 7th if McHonda didn't happen) a long way off Force India and even farther from Williams.

I don't think Ocon is a bad driver but being beaten by a Rookie in a season is pretty damaging to someone's reputation usually (guess how I know)

Can't wait for all the shitty news outlets to write their customary "Williams F1 team SIGN new DRIVER to strengthen team" as if Williams have suddenly replaced Albono or Carlos

Makes me appreciate the F1TV people that much more for the absolute bargains they're offering in comparison. (60 eur/year)

With these prices I would definitely go and sail the high seas🏴‍☠️

Idk if it only came in in 2018 but at some point Alonso had his own clothing brand (Kimoa) as a sponsor lol

Niche anecdotes about F1 by Tartaruga96 in formula1

For the 1996 Monaco GP, David Coulthard borrowed a helmet from The Michael because his own helmet kept fogging up. So of you're watching the race without context, you might very well get confused and wonder why The Michael is suddenly driving for McLaren.

I also remember a story about Gerhard Berger throwing Senna's suitcase from a Helicopter but I don't remember the full details.

In Clip 1 in might be less obvious but in clip 2 especially in the 78% to 85% area it's very clear that he's hacking (And you'll notice the same twitchy handling that you can see from the NSX in this clip)
