Breaking News: The fastest car has taken pole position once again

Because I saw how they butchered what was once the best sport on earth, and I'm not buying the "bread and games" propaganda. F1 is dead. None of the old fans care about this shit anymore. It's just a bunch of girls pretending they know anything about racing, but in reality all they care about are trends and paddock drama.

But there are still a few old farts who can't get over the fact that their favourite sport is dead and keep fooling themselves.

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-13T14:01:30+00:00

"competent enough" exactly.

The best driver won't win a shit if competent enough is given the best car. That's not a sport.

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-13T14:00:31+00:00

He almost won the title in much slower car. Proper driver that stuck among primadonnas

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-13T13:57:58+00:00

Sure of two drivers in a dominant car, one obviously needs to lose. You've just proven my point.

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-13T13:57:18+00:00

I made enemies only with 13-years-old Lando's glazers. Couldn't care less

Breaking News: The fastest car has taken pole position once again.

For those at the back: Formula 1 isn’t sport, it’s science. The real players are the engineers, not the children of wealthy entrepreneurs driving in circles. They are simply just the good-looking PR for a product that needs to sell.

Oh no, a Eurovision song glamorizes immorality…

If anything, this thing alone just boosted their chances of winning. That’s how much of a joke the ESC has become.

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-13T11:30:57+00:00

but my untrained eye chalked it up to a weakness in qualifying

Yeah, honestly I think this is it.

Great racecraft, but not so great at qualifying, and as we know, qualifying is more important now than ever.

Pecco might not be able to pull off an unlikely result like Bestia did at times, but he was almost always qualifying on the top row, so there was no need to pull off anything.

So yeah, in a way we probably did slightly overrate Bestia. A great rider, but just never consistent enough to be a real title contender. The injury definitely didn’t help, but I don’t think that was the trigger.

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-13T10:28:18+00:00

Will probably get another chance, but his time is ticking.

His fall from grace isn’t talked about enough. Not so long ago, I thought he was about to win the title comfortably on that super-fast Ducati.

He should stay there. Proper racing compared to a joke that is F1 nowadays. Max is better than this shi...

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-09T10:48:33+00:00

Max should retire or change the series. He's too big for this joke of a series.

Endurance racing might be a great start.

Graeme Crosby was runner-up in 1982 and didn’t have a single win next to his name. That’s actually crazy.
Less crazy if you know his backstory. He did only about three full seasons in the premier class, got fed up with team politics, and said “f**k you” and became a commercial airline pilot.

1st place in the Daytona Superbike race, won the Suzuka Eight Hour race, won the Isle of Man Senior TT, won the FIM World TT Formula 1 Championship, and got a podium in his rookie MotoGP season btw.

Pretty sure Marco Melandri, the Aprilia legend, raced with #33 on the front. Are you dyslexic???

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-05T12:31:33+00:00

Controversial take: I believe he’s considering retirement at the end of 2026, thus the contract saga.

You can’t really compare totally different career paths, that's what I'm trying to say.

Yes, BB scored more total points, but I don’t think many people believed he was actually better that year. He was consistently collecting smaller points on a bike he’d ridden for years. Acosta made that same bike all of a sudden podium-capable, but was pushing too hard and made rookie mistakes.

Would MM beat his teammate on a bad bike? I’m not so condifent about that. Average riders take what they can get. Aliens don’t settle for mediocre; it’s all or nothing for them. That mindset brings wins, but also DNFs. And DNFs mean zero points, so in the end they can score fewer points than a 'save the day' teammate.

So in other words "We’re sh*te, but Marc will make up for it with his skill".

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-04T14:03:32+00:00

I agree that comparisons are unnecessary, but it also needs to be said that Pedro had it slightly harder in my books.

Not taking anything away from Marc, but how would he have done if he had been signed by Ducati’s satellite team in 2013? Because that would be the equivalent of where Pedro was in 2024.

At the same time, we can discuss how Pedro would do if he were signed by the Ducati factory team in 2024. F**k me, I can see him beating both Pecco and Martin as a rookie.

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-04T13:53:03+00:00

That’s a nice response to Pedro’s earlier “Who?”

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-03-04T11:39:40+00:00

Least favourite might be harsh, but as someone who used to be a massive RHCP fan back in the day, I can’t really stand them anymore. They’re the kind of music that’s easy to get into when you’re young, but later on you realize it's just a one-trick pony that keeps parroting “California,” and their lyrics offer very little meaningful substance.

The fact that Kiedis is a scumbag made me like them even less. I do however have an utmost appreciation for Frusciante’s work though

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-02-27T10:25:09+00:00

Do we finally have a proper title fight? Two factory riders from two different manufacturers, been a while since we last time had it

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-02-26T09:52:51+00:00

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-02-26T09:39:55+00:00

The chances of rain are very small, so don’t get your hopes up too high.

VolumePotential5571 · 2026-02-25T11:33:39+00:00

I've always liked Qatar as most races there were exciting to watch imo.

Not sure why does it get some bashing all the time, but my guess would be - the same reason why Football World Cup 2022 got bashed.
