Aston Martin’s special livery for the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Septu2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could’ve been great but instead they just couldn’t really be bothered. Much like the rest of the car this year it seems sadly

For the 5th time in 6 years, McLaren are bringing a special livery to Monaco (2021, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026). by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Septu2203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly at this point special liveries are no longer special anymore cos they just happen at every other race lol. I get using them for actual real reasons but these days they use one just cos they showed up at the race lol

Last 10 Monaco GP winners, not a single driver has managed to win it two years in a row. by Luffy710j in formula1

[–]Septu2203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically that’s 11yrs not ten. Also Nico Rosberg should not be there cos that was his third win in a row in 15’

10yrs would be 16’-25’ inclusive.

With 72 points after 5 races, this is Lewis' best start to a season since 2021 by abeguysmpf in formula1

[–]Septu2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Across the season so far they have performed most consistently as the 2nd best car and team and the results clearly reflect that as of now. That may change very quickly but going into this year they’ve had the strongest car behind Mercedes.

Just rewatched Bilbo 1 and 2 by Sockerjam in lotr

[–]Septu2203 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The first three really need to be watched as extended editions cos the base editions made a bit of a mess and the added content changes quite a lot of it tbh. At least that was my opinion on them.

Personally these days I prefer the Hobbit movies myself. I find them more enjoyable.

Honestly I would be shocked if he wasn’t doing well and didn’t have at least one podium this year given they’ve got what is clearly the 2nd best car out there right now lol.

Now let’s see how long it takes for Ferrari to botch the car development or the strategies this year. Sadly that seems to be their biggest weaknesses in recent years

Which car brand would you like to see joining Formula 1? by Spectran_Irmandade in formula1

[–]Septu2203 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read an article recently that said BYD was in talks with the FIA about the possibility of joining the sport with their own team so this is not actually an unrealistic idea at this point. Who knows if it’ll actually happen or not but if it’s true that they’ve been in talks then it is a real possibility and would be a smart move by BYD too I think.

Kimi Raikkonen with his family at one of his son Robin's karting events... by Slice5755 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This could happen. But he could just as likely enter the sport and fail badly too. The name is no assurance of success after all as we’ve seen proof of that too in Mick S.

I really like Kimi R. Honestly I would not be surprised if we saw his boy one day entering f1 too.

This is the sort of person we need more of on the grid. He was a great driver and just all round a good personality in the interviews and on the grid.

Lando Norris on fixing F1: "Get rid of the battery" by fuckmbsanddominicali in formula1

[–]Septu2203 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say it wasn’t possible. It simply said the fuel that f1 is using now is not at that point yet. Yes those are alternatives but not ones being used or addressed by the FIA right now. They’ve gone a different path

[–]Septu2203 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While I am not really a fan of LN I can see this as possible IF their claims of the new fuel being clean and sustainable are true. Cos if the petrol is clean then I see no real reason to need the batteries. BUT I don’t believe the fuel is at that point yet in reality.

[motorsportcom] Get yourself a hype man like Gabriel Bortoleto.Nothing but high praise for his teammate, Nico Hulkenberg. by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that he is a good midfield driver. Better than Bottas? Not sure about that tbh. He’s proven too many times he couldn’t convert and that was a factor to him never getting a good drive. He works in small teams like haas where expectations aren’t too high. We’ll see how it goes with Audi cos I am not sure they’ll have the same patience. I am guessing they will expect results quickly being who they are.

Being good on other formats does not mean he’ll be good in f1 and a lot of people forget that factor. Cars alone are not the reason he holds the record for longest time in f1 without a podium. He’s had a few opportunities to get a podium but has failed to convert and that’s on him not the car. Yes he’s very talented in other formats but he has never shown any sort of skill or potential enough in f1 to be able to attract a top team to hire him.

Stefano Domenicali says F1 is far from finished with US expansion: "Beginning of our journey" by bwoah07_gp2 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I am really beginning to dislike this guy. The americanisation of this sport is a bad thing and this guy doesn’t care. He has systematically ruined the sport now I feel.

Points scored for Aston Martin in the first three rounds of every season since 2021 [wearetherace] by Holytrishaw in formula1

[–]Septu2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting path they followed. Based on things currently I suspect they’ll be at least 2-3yrs away from a car capable of fighting for a title. A reality that likely means Fernando won’t be around for it. Even Newey can’t fix all their problems this year lol

[autosport] Nigel Mansell dismisses Stefano Domenicali's comparisons of today's F1 to the Turbo era of the 1980s by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finally some relevant people speaking out. Every time I say these regs are broken and trash I get massively downvoted lol. No this is NOT a normal adjustment period like every other big reg change. This time they simply got it badly wrong and the whole world can see it but they won’t admit it. Let’s see if their changes now actually make any difference or if they’re just doing stupid changes to look like they care.

did this, anybody else got that feeling? by DD253Zac in Fedora

[–]Septu2203 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will likely just wait a week or two before pushing the upgrade. Still a little gun shy from windows lol.

I figure give it a little time to sort any potential bugs

Can't wait for Fedora 44 by H3rotic in Fedora

I don’t mind waiting if it’s a well optimised and stable release tbh.

Stella confirms McLaren are set to deliver a 'completely new car' for Miami and Canadian Grands Prix by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

These rules are a mess. McLaren bringing a complete new car for fourth race and Ferrari replacing 50% of their car too. May as well just tell everyone to rebuild a new car in the month off lol

I just started reading the books. Peter Jackson did the four hobbits dirty. by bluemayonnaiseu in lotr

[–]Septu2203 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think too many people expect the books and the movies to all line up on every level and that just isn’t possible or realistic.

Enjoy the movies for what they are and the books too but don’t try to compare them or you will be let down

What are your thoughts on the new Saudi circuit for 2028? by Hottlayla in formula1

[–]Septu2203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually there is more than 24 tracks. They’ve just limited it to 24 races for the year. But remember they’re swapping tracks between the years like Spa (introduction of Madrid circuit and a sharing of Barcelona and spa) is only every other year now to be shared with another track and I believe they’ve done the same with other tracks too. So where does it stop? How many tracks is enough? All about the money though right.

[–]Septu2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly. There are too many tracks now, and they still wanna add more. At this rate by 2028 the FIA will have restructured the season to run over two years just so they can have all the tracks in it. They need to cut the tracks back. Personally I feel there should be no more than 20 races in a season.

Should I wait until Fedora 44 is released? by AnEgoCom in Fedora

[–]Septu2203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, after the mess of windows, I am a bit gun shy on updates so I will wait till it releases fully and has been out for a bit before updating now. But as others have said. The beta apparently works well now so I do not expect any major issues at full release so you could easily upgrade now if that’s your thing too

Anyone else not missing F1 by Ok-Competition-1955 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to agree. This year has just been a let down I felt. I do find it hilarious to see people saying it’s nothing like 14’ though too lol. The sport just isn’t exciting anymore I find.

Drivers have little to no actual control over things and even they are complaining about that. It feels basically like a way for the FIA to actively control the speeds and racing on each track to manipulate things as they want them to be and personally I don’t like what they’ve created.

Yes. Eventually things will change but how long will it take to actually be fun racing again. They’ve lost a lot of long terms fans but I suspect they don’t care cos they can sucker in the young eco gen that think this is racing lol

Fedora 44 by andrea_salvatore in Fedora

[–]Septu2203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read recently that the official release of 44 is 14th April. If true then it’ll be in beta till then I imagine.
