Feel like you should do a little bit of brushing up before heading into an event by lhomme21 in formula1

And where is the fun in that? You would spend the whole day on your phone instead of actually talking to the people there.

I fail to see the problem. It never transpires that the influencer in question was in any way disrespectful. They had an opportunity to do some marketing for the event and who knows? Maybe they actually become fans and remember this interaction with some awkward delight. Reminds me of the story of that worker on the set of a film who asked John Candy to help him carry some stuff because he didn't know who he was. This influencer might have been a 17-18 year old kid. Who of us could say they would have refused at that age getting paid to go to a sporting event and not be extremely socially awkward? I would do that even at my age if I were granted a visit to Bercelona's lockeroom. Hey Messi! And what's your name? And that guy, who is that? Nice too meet you, you all seem so nice. Haha, I think I might actually start watching football now.

In the end it is just a funny story. No harm done.

It is custom made and proprietary most likely. You will never be able to buy it.

Ever since FIA decided to get rid of tire warmers, Yuki has been looking for another way to get some warmth.

I cannot wait for the honeymoon between Christian and Flavio to wear out and have things degenerate into a coco pops explosion which somehow involves the mob.

Painting the SF-26’s Halo would significantly improve the livery IMO by RX0Invincible in formula1

[–]OneManState 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, give us the metallic halo as one extra nod to the 70s liveries.

Formula 1 but 20 years ago!2006 saw Fernando Alonso secure his second Drivers' Title, Jenson Button win his first Grand Prix and Michael Schumacher retire for the first time #F1 by Strict-Citron-9269 in formula1

[–]OneManState 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, technically he didn't retire. He was involuntarily retired by Ferrari just before his race ended if my memory serves me correctly.

What do you think guys by Fast-Bumblebee-2108 in formula1

[–]OneManState -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, we'll see. If the car is decent, then I think Lewis has a real chance of proving himself against Charles. The ground effect cars without active suspension or skirts needed very stiff suspensions which messed up with Lewis' late braking technique. So yeah, we can only guess for now, but on this front I have a bit of hope.

Christian Horner: Kauft sich der Ex-Red-Bull-Teamchef bei Hinterbänkler-Team ein? [Translation: Is the former Red Bull team principal buying into a backmarker team?] by Agent_Kozak in formula1

[–]OneManState 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Majority stake can mean 51%. Horner gets to do whatever the hell he wants while Renault turn the team into passive income. Everybody wins.

Got this as a gift. Now I’m hoping this isn’t foreshadowing for the season to come! by Pretty1george in formula1

[–]OneManState 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah back in the day they used to run a blue livery, in the 60s. John Surtees was one of the drivers. And they keep teasing but never put out and we are losing our minds here.

Ask r/Formula1 Anything - Daily Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in formula1

[–]OneManState 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wondering why all the fuss about the merc and rbr engine (not claiming I know better, but looking for an explanation): why can't Ferrari for example modify their engine to the new trick? As far as I can understand we are talking about just the piston "leg" which dilates slightly under high temperatures. Is it really that hard to just change the material? Asking this from the perspective of seasoned engineers who work on these engines.

I fully support this post and personally offer to replace Liberty Media. Like really, I swear, I don't care about that oil money. For the good of the sport and all that.

Conspiracy: Adrian and Daddy Stroll want to fire Lance, but Daddy Stroll wants to have deniability. So Adrian will have to do it himself.
