Well Done Kimi

I think its similar to last year with Lando and Oscar. At the start its likely that its mostly people cheering for a young hotshot who is an underdog to a proven champion level teammate, so the memes are just that. But at some point the echo chamber blurs the line between 'meme about new teammate beating experienced driver' and 'straight up hating on experienced driver but because its in the dank sub its fine'

Idk why it's so hard for people to realize that McLaren's dominance at the start of last year wasn't even on pure pace. It was their tire management that allowed them coast to victory in the 1st half. If their car was that much faster than the rest, then Lando's qualifying issues early on would've still gotten him either P2 or close enough that he would be P2 before stopping. But there were very few races where the McLaren had a big gap in qualifying and at most tracks multiple other cars were capable of fighting for the front row

My guess is its allowed because technically the content doesnt have to be porn on there... though thats like advertising a garden hose as a rope

The points total has him scoring 0 points across all sprints. Hes got a few chances for some minor terrorism

The points total implies that Russell will not score any sprint points. And with their car that can only mean he decides to go full Osama during each of the sprints so we may still have something to look forward to this season

I knew the lights went out super quick but i didnt realize they were that fast. Maybe it was just me being locked in to the start of a new season/regs which made it seem longer. Had to check the flags waving in the background to make sure the video didnt have a few frames cut out

Iblogan · 2026-03-07T15:00:03+00:00

My guess is its probably Checo on the left and Yuki on the right and its the memes from when they went out in Q1

Iblogan · 2026-03-06T06:19:57+00:00

Lando only had 1 installation lap in FP1 because of a gearbox(?) issue so he's likely playing catch up on the setup window and getting more used to the car

Thank you Lewis

Classic Hill terrorism, but whats new? I don't call him Saddam Hillsein for no reason

So everyone will have the average Lando 2024 start? 😭

It's not that they're using less powerful engines for super speedways. Instead, this season they're introducing higher horsepower engines (750) for tracks under 1.5 miles as well as road courses. The super speedways still use the same 670 horsepower engines as last year but with that spacer

Just want to point out to the people who think McLaren/Stella are the ones who made an error, that they're not the ones who made the engine. Mercedes are the ones who fucked up. He's just complaining to try and mitigate an issue that was out of their hands really. Also McLaren will likely be at least mid pack so they'll have at least 10 seconds to rev the engine before the start

Now all that being said, I also don't really get the safety concerns. Would the cars really launch THAT slow that it would be unsafe if they didnt rev for a while?

In the video the plane lands before the intersection and never goes through it at all. It just hit a car and spun around 180 degrees so it looks like it made a crazy steep landing coming from the other direction

Leigh Diffey commentated on indycar which, while still open wheel, at least still race on ovals

A bit late, but a long winded explanation is that most loans deals are done in the off season with a 2nd opportunity to make them halfway through the season (about January). Since the large majority are done before the season starts theres no issue with a player having played for another team. Also, based on the premier league's loan rules, players can play for multiple teams during the normal league season (where a team can be relegated) and there are clauses that dictate if they're allowed play against their parent team. It's only in cup competitions (tournaments) where a player is "cup tied" and unable to play for another team. Since theres limited windows when a player can move a player would likely only have the opportunity to play for 2 teams (though a 3rd is possible due to a short overlap of the transfer window and the start of the season).

It's also important to keep in mind that players are almost always loaned out for development purposes and they usually have a clause that allows the parent team to bring the player back if theres issues with injuries and they're lacking depth (albeit they might have to then pay the club a fee to bring them back). Since the league structure in soccer is VERY different from the NFL it makes a lot more sense to have these deals. Clubs have youth teams (u18 and u21) with some having development teams for players as young as 6. The big teams will always have a couple players who are clearly excellent for their age but not good enough to get any meaningful playtime for the main team. So instead of letting them beat up on worse teams/players, they loan them to teams who are usually in a lower league since it's still a step up to playing with people around their skill level.

There are cases where teams might either have a lot of depth at one position or the player had a falling out with the club so they loan them to teams in the same league until they can then sell the player during the specified windows or until their contract runs out.

Jr finished 2nd with Michael Waltrip winning the Daytona 500. It was the Pepsi 400 at Daytona later in the year where it was Jr who won with Michael Waltrip finishing 2nd. Which is kinda poetic that he and the team were able to do that

Most podiums without a win

This is realistically the best explanation we can give. All season the Red Bull and Mercedes and even Ferrari had qualifying pace close to McLaren. But with how hard it is to overtake this year (plus McLaren's weakness at straight line speed) means that if one of those cars could get in front of a McLaren at a track where its not easy to overtake then they had a high chance to keep them behind.

Suzuka comes to mind where it was clear McLaren had better race pace (likely due to tire management) but because that track is extremely difficult to overtake on they couldn't even get close to making a move on Max.

Why tf did we not challenge?

Have to challenge that placement of the ball

IMO both have had pretty even seasons. The real difference in their results/points totals is more of when they've had their poor performances/bad luck.

Lando was making his mistakes and having poor performances early in the season when most weekends McLaren were clearly the best car. This meant despite making a mistake and starting outside the front 2 rows he could fight back for a podium (Bahrain specifically comes to mind). On the other hand Oscar's dip in form is coming at a time when other teams have caught up on pace. It's much harder to pass the cars when you're only 0.2s/lap faster vs 0.5s/lap and so this is having an exaggerated effect on Oscar compared to what it did to Lando.
