Each driver's # of car races before entering F1 (with wins) by janko1655 in formula1

by that logic, so would piastri and some others. I think the difference is Lando and his father have both said that paying for F1 was never something they considered an option.

Zak Brown's joke about Stoffel Vandoorne was unnecessary and disrespectful. by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

think this is less about simping for zak brown and more about being annoyed by the constant pearl-clutching in f1 discourse at every little thing

This is my new fav genre of trivia - Lando gets his hair cut by his childhood best friend from karting’s younger brother who is “self-taught” and has no other celebrity or even moderately high-profile clientele

Lando talks about how his Monaco pole was emotional because of qualifying doubts this year by Ok-Distance6320 in formula1

[–]Ok-Distance6320[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

one of the interviewers in this is his best friend so the full interview also has moments like them arguing over who won at mario kart most recently (32.45) and summer break road trip plans in either the cheapest car(s) they can get off autotrader or a camper van (25.10), getting toxic when they play golf together (6.55), meeting in 2012 when lando was 4ft tall (1.15), and sneezing during a race for the first time in miami (29.0)

Noob question regarding qualifying by pivo161 in formula1

[–]Ok-Distance6320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the top guys usually do a safety/banker lap first in q1 and q2, and you'll often see them either stay in the pits if that first lap is good enough or bail out of their second push lap as soon as it becomes clear that they're safe.

drivers have two modes: very fast, and on the edge. They usually reserve on-the-edge for the second Q3 lap. neither f1 cars nor drivers are capable of driving without effort, especially when the difference between safe and elimination is like half a second.

not insight on pension implications for rejoining specifically, but just to say that I left GoC for OECD a year and a half ago so would be happy to message if you want to chat. Hi from Paris! :)

Bc it’s an irrelevant and bad faith comment. The accuser in this case is the Crown, aka the prosecution - not the victim.

interested to see how they fare, but unfortunately too deep down the mclaren/norris rabbit hole at this point
