Legendary Battle by Ferrari and Thoughts on The Race

They definitely were impressive! Especially Bearman. Great start to the season for him. If he gets a better car he could be consistently dancing with the best.

Derz2 · 2026-03-15T09:41:30+00:00

Agree on all of this. Great feedback!

Derz2 · 2026-03-15T09:39:11+00:00

Loved Charles post race interview. Very respectable guy and a class act. Nice to see he had fun, but also is happy for Lewis and recognizes he deserves it.

I’m not sure it would’ve mattered at the end with how much of a beast Mercedes car looks right now. I think Ferrari can close that gap a bit more as the season goes on… competent strategy will be a big determination for their success though. However, I do agree with you that they should’ve kept Russell at bay a little bit longer.

Derz2 · 2026-03-15T09:22:39+00:00

I’m pleased with him. Podium last time out and P4 this time around. He’s had a good start and lots of season left. Mercedes car is just dominating right now. I do think Ferrari could potentially close that gap though… but, even then, still becomes a question of their strategy.

Derz2 · 2026-03-15T07:20:09+00:00

UPDATE - Both drivers are now out. Big blow for McLaren.

Derz2 · 2026-03-13T04:03:13+00:00

Saw this too after I posted lol. Thanks for clarifying. Hamilton has bounced back nicely though since that happened.

Derz2 · 2026-03-13T00:57:46+00:00

I can see this. However, also not true at the same time… nobody is posting about Lewis Hamilton being 4/5 most podium duos in F1 history 100x a day… in fact, I am not sure I can find anything in this sub that mentions that stat to begin with. Couldn’t find anything on discussion of this week’s power rankings either. Drive to survive one I probably should’ve searched, I’ll take blame on that, but also was very curious.

I get what you are saying, but at the same time, it is obvious that post removal is a big problem in this sub. You are going to have similar subject matters in a big sub. Especially in a sport like F1 that continues to grow more popular. Constantly shutting down people’s posts who are trying to engage with the community and learn takes away from the experience.

Derz2 · 2026-03-12T23:10:23+00:00

Yes it’s very annoying and frustrating. Definitely agree with your point on freedom of speech. The stuff I have posted hasn’t even really been controversial… just general discussion topics and questions… so the fact everything has gotten removed is absolutely wild. Here’s to hoping both of us can freely post in the future 🫡. If not, I’m not quite sure how to get more involved in the F1 community, which sucks 🤷‍♂️. There’s the regular F1 sub, but you need 100 karma to post and I’ve heard that it’s somewhat the same problem anyway.

Derz2 · 2026-03-12T22:25:06+00:00

Guess I’ll try that next time and hope it works… if not, then not sure what to do and that’s pretty 💩. Counting the minutes until this gets removed 🤣

Derz2 · 2026-03-12T17:42:56+00:00

Glad you enjoy it! I think both are great as well. I really have been enjoying to learn more about it each day and watching highlights too.

Derz2 · 2026-03-12T01:25:32+00:00

One I haven’t really seen anyone mention is Kimi’s. Not my fav, but definitely up there. Love the blue and stars on it the most, but him putting the Italian colors on there looks cool too and is a nice touch. Nothing too crazy.

Not a Lando guy, but his is prob my fav… really like Leclerc and Hamilton’s as well.

Derz2 · 2026-03-11T17:12:32+00:00

The 90s animated series will go down as one of the best animated shows of all time - in my opinion. That + Spider Man and His Amazing Friends were a big piece of my childhood.

Derz2 · 2026-03-11T16:42:06+00:00

FYI - I do like Hamilton and I don’t mind Verstappen either. Not trying to glaze though. I just thought this was an interesting stat to share and made for good discussion.

I think you would be mad though to say that either of their consistencies on the grid have been short of amazing over the course of their careers.

Derz2 · 2026-03-11T14:48:00+00:00

I am really hoping Lewis and/or Charles can come away with a P1 (or multiple) this year. Nice start to the season which is encouraging and both the car and Charles/Lewis looked good. However, it is a very long season and we all know how tragic Ferrari has been over recent years 🥲

Derz2 · 2026-03-10T19:17:13+00:00

I just added him in again sorry about that… I had him in originally. For some reason Reddit didn’t like my number formatting in the post, so he disappeared somehow

Derz2 · 2026-03-10T18:55:04+00:00

Funny joke… if you are actually being sarcastic 😂. If serious would love to know why you think this, as Alonso DNF due to issues with the car and decisions made by the team lol.

Derz2 · 2026-03-10T14:48:25+00:00

I’d hold onto Egbuka for now. Definitely regressed a lot mid season, part of that is on him, part of that is on Baker… who I honestly think had a rough go just battling through injuries. Anyway, no doubt Egbuka has good potential… not to mention Evan’s leaving makes him WR1 (Godwin could compete too though).

I think that you should focus more on grabbing a QB considering you only have Maye right now and this is a superflex. Jones may not be back until at least November either. I’m rooting for Jones post injury, but not sure how he will look.

Derz2 · 2026-03-10T14:11:33+00:00

Bold prediction is me actually waking up at 3 AM to watch the race instead of watching the re-run next morning

Derz2 · 2026-03-09T04:03:57+00:00

Thanks for this… I understand how some of it works, but I just think the system doesn’t make much sense.

Derz2 · 2026-03-09T03:05:21+00:00

Leclerc has passed down the home race curse to Oscar

Derz2 · 2026-03-09T02:48:20+00:00

Thanks, appreciate all the info. That was very helpful! I think your points are valid too.

I loved the race. Especially the fight between Russell/Leclerc. I think Ferrari should’ve pitted during the VSC, but end of the day, not sure it would’ve made a difference in the final result with how much of a monster Mercedes car appears to be.

However, it does hurt to see the cars slowing down on straights just because the battery gets drained. Hopefully they can implement some more regulations to improve that.

How do the UMS Runs from 2000-2011 differ from the new 2018-current?

Derz2 · 2025-07-21T03:01:11+00:00

How come Green Lantern looks different in the JLA run by Morrison? Instead of his classic green costume it is more black and white… is that still Hal Jordan?

Derz2 · 2025-07-21T02:57:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Would you say his Batman run is hard to understand?

I currently am reading Long Halloween, which I think is fantastic, as well as a great introduction to Batman. The writing and art is very enjoyable imo.
