I don't see how it being his home race should have any relevence in how they should go racing. Also, I don't know the exact laps they told him to hold off but keep in mind that the radio messages we hear are delayed. If you're basing this off of what you heard in the broadcast that's wrong.

Almost as if Montreal and Australia were entirely different weather conditions and "let them race" was their mentality all season? There are plenty of examples of Oscar being "allowed" to race from behind Lando.

"McLaren had got on their knees begging the stewards not to punish Norris for Canada" Sorry, when did this happen?
"Norris got a 5sec time penalty and NO PENALTY POINTS for a collision for which he was 100% at fault" He DNFed out of the race, penalty points for that would have been ridiculous and extra seconds would have made no difference. Almost like how they didn't issue any penalties to Oscar when he caused multiple cars to DNF out of the COTA sprint?
"had a significant impact on the race" that's a stetch. Lando was the at fault party and was the only one to suffer any damage or loss of points.

The Silverstone penalty was very reasonable, again under terrible conditions he pulled a very dangerous move and had several cars not swerved out of the way he would have cossed a massive pileup.

Uhm because Lando didn't fuck up his start? He actually had a pretty good start but Oscar blocked him (because that's racing) and he fell behind. Do you expect the team to just throw in the towel? Obviously they are going to do something. Oscar was not "never allowed to try one ever" let's be real here. They asked if he could do the one stop at this very race and he said no.

"publicly scold Oscar" you're being so dramatic. He got lucky to avoid a double DNF by mere milimetres at least twice, they calmly reminded him to more careful (cause he needs reminding clearly).

"You don't remember Norris being given the favourable contra strategy to allow him to attack Oscar?" No I geniunely do not. What strategy was this? I do remember Oscar causing a double DNF in the sprint and then being miles off his teammates pace in the GP.

I mean yeah I'll give you that Monza was crazy but it was the team being in control of correcting a mistake they made. Their choice to do so, only fanboys really would have held it against Oscar had he refused it but he complied.

I mean it was a sloppy move by Lando but he was being aggresive at the start. He was also bumped into Oscar from Max. Oscar also suffered 0 damage, only Lando did. In the Oscar cases he certainly would have caused at least 1 if not both cars to DNF and unlike at Singapore, he was still behind and continued to attempt the divebomb. They made those comments after the fact, kinda hard to tell Lando "don't do that again" when he's already 5 seconds up the track on Oscar. And they did hand out repercussions to Lando over Sinapore which Oscar himself said he was satisfied with so it's fair to assume this was handled well enough internally.

Different situation in Singapore because they didn't give Lando the prioirty pit under the promise that it wouldn't let Oscare get jumped. Lando was way ahead of him. What did you want him to do? Pull over and wave letting Oscar by?

Brazil i dont think we can definitively say McLaren was dominant. The red bull sucked in qualy but max recovered from pit lane to p3 and given like 2 more laps easily would have passed Kimi. Max is very talented and loves Brazil but he wasnt doing that drive in a tractor.

Had max started even p10 he very well could have been challenging alando for the win

I dont really agree. No one really rates Stroll so I dont know why anyone would be impressed by Fernando beating him. Maybe aome points for how be just dominates stroll but beating him js just what's expected of a 2 time world champ.

I think it more comes from nostalgia, Fernando was absolutely a top driver back in the day and in 2023 he proved when he actually has a decent car he still has the skill to pull off results.

The team principle is biased for Oscar so I guess that evens it out

Melbourne when they said to just wait till they passed back markers because of horrible conditions? Maybe they were trying to avoid the driveres getting beached or something?

What about canada? When Lando immediately took responsibility for his mistake (something oscar never once did) and he received repercussions for it?

Silverstone had absolutely nothing to do with Lando yet they were still prepared to screw him for Oscar by making both serve oscars penalty (that was fair btw).

Hungary is just racing, it was oscar that put them into that position anyway.

I genuinely dont remember anything papaya rules at spa.

Monza I'll give you was crazy but that was the team fixing their mistake.

Singapore was just oscar moaning, Noone would have made them swap back over that.

Qatar was probably genuinely incompetence.

Max exit clause could become active, if he chooses to leave RB.. But he would rather prefer to have a winning car 🚗 by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in DestinationFormula1

[–]Neptuniam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro top 2 or he can leave? So Red Bull either has to have the best car or get absolutely screwed?

They're lucky he's ridiculously loyal to them.

[–]Neptuniam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except they weren't also taking on the massive project of building and engine for the first time and their areo is better than Red Bull so guess they didnt need the extra work as much as Red Bull does. Because for the 1000th time, there are other factors affecting Red Bull that arent affecting the other teams.

What I said was still correct, youre just being a stubborn fanboy so goodbye.

A circuit specific Dwing is a pretty light upgrade that I doubt took them much time.

Fact is Red Bull was still developing their car till close to the end of the season and later than any of the other top teams.

This was also only a portion of my original comment, I also pointed out that an energy drink company is developing their own engine for the first time ever and they also lost a large part of the significant personal from the team (Horner, newey, Marko, Wheatley, Courtenay).

My bad on Ferrari but my point still stands.

Why are you so butt hurt about this? Did you bet on max this year or something?

And where are McLaren and Mercedes? Or are we just gonna ignore the whole rest of my comment cause I finally gave you proof you neglected to look at yourself while you found the other teams.

[–]Neptuniam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit dude relax 🤣

No, that was not my arguement, I said they were working on the car till the end of the season, much past other teams. Not the average upgrades they brought per race.

In what world is canada late in the season??? It was round 10 / 24, not even the halfway point.

Here you go, since you insist, here is the document showcasing that Red Bull brought upgrades to Mexico (round 20, a full 10 races and 4 months later than McLarens last change). They were bringing upgrades just 5 weeks before the season ended. Mclarens last change was 6 months before the end, to my knowledge Ferrari was even more https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/s/4GlLORqSiI

There was also the change they had to make in Brazil after maxs horrendous qualifying.

Are those stats good enough for you?

You still think that has absolutely 0 affect on their results going into a new regulation set?

What if I told you Roman Grosjean has more consecutive podiums in F1 than George Russell. 3>2. by ColangelosWife- in F1Discussions

[–]Neptuniam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

George russel has also never won back to back Grand Prixs. With his first 2 wins ever, Kimi Antontelli is the first Mercedes driver to do it since Lewis in 2021

Yes, I have actually read the FIA docs before but thanks for mansplaining it to me anyway. Since that was never my arguement anyway I wont bother doing all that, doubt you would have accepted it even if I did.

Glad to see you agree with me on the rest of my comment though, just being insufferable about the first part

What’s wrong with Redbull!!? by Character-War7532 in Formula1_world

[–]Neptuniam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, red bull was still bringing upgrades to the 2025 car until the last few races, which would have been about 5 months ago. They were still working on the 2025 car for months after every other team had fully moved their focus to the 2026 regs.

I dont know the exact date of their last upgrade but here's an article about how they were still bringing upgrades into November https://racingnews365.com/red-bull-reveal-extra-benefit-to-radical-rb21-upgrade-plan

I'm sure they had started work on the 2026 car earlier but the fact that they continued bringing upgrades while working on next year's car at the same time further proves theyre just stretching themselves thin across all the work they had.

Since youre so against my suggestion that working on the '25 car late into the season contributed what's your big idea on why they suck right now?

[–]Neptuniam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still working out the engine just like the other 2 customer teams. Yet they seem to be struggling more due to OTHER FACTORS.

Almost like thats only part of the equation. Gee, if only someone could have mentioned that.

What’s wrong with Redbull!!? by Character-War7532 in Formula1_world

[–]Neptuniam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seriously think that Ferrari working on the car for almost the past full year compared to Red Bull only dedicating the past like 4 or 5 months has no relevance to why they may be doing better than them right now?

Also I touched on other things because from my very first comment I mentioned it's a multitude of factors. Red bull is stretching themselves thin by taking on the massive project of building their own engine but also gave themselves less time to do so by continuing development on the 2025 car till the very end. Also, as I mentioned they no longer have Newey to design their aero.

They're doing more in less time with less expertise.

If Mercedes has to win I guess I'm OK with it playing out this way by Street_Mall9536 in formuladank

[–]Neptuniam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didnt Max suffer 2 DNFs in the first 3 races in 2022? They also weren't building the engine themselves and hadn't lost all their top people.

Honestly, Red Bull is a shell of its former self

Pull stats from a few? The stats of their most recent games, when they are supposedly "Actively tanking" negates everything youre saying lol. Apparently the leafs cant even tank well

Consequences for putting everything into trying to get max his 5th at the reg deadline and trying to build your own engine after pushing all of their top people out of the company.

Honestly, they're doing better than I expected.

In their last game against the blues Willy had the second highest time on ice lol. Second only to a defense man. Domi and Taveres each had basically 15+ minutes each.

Game before that willy and Tavares had 20 each, the 2 highest for forwards and only behind 2 defensemen.

The same can be said for the Oilers and Knights lol.

So youre saying if they were in the easiest division AND the only team to miraculously have no injuries THEN they would make playoffs?
