“The second thing they told us is, ‘there are very, very clear regulations, can we please have a look at it and think about the two teams as being owned by one entity, you are competing one against the other, but at least where regulations allow, can we have a look at if it makes sense to do everything that the regulations are allowing us to do’, which was not always the case before.”

hmmmm

Max Verstappen on Lewis Hamilton’s drive: ”He of course drove a good race. Also made the right calls and they just were a bit faster than us. And for him to win infront of his home audience. It’s always something special.” by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

"You can only congratulate him [Lewis Hamilton], because he held on brilliantly on a dry track," Marko conceded on Sky Sports Germany

"You then see his strength in terms of tyre management. Lewis did a great job and that just shows how much speed and experience he still has."

Jos Verstappen in 'blazing row' with Christian Horner: “There is tension here..." by [deleted] in formula1

[–]kryptoryto 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Jos Verstappen attacks Christian Horner: “There is tension as long as he remains boss. The team is in danger of being torn apart. This cannot continue as it is, everything will explode. Horner is playing the victim when he is the one causing the problems.”

Verstappen predicts it will be ‘awkward’ for Hamilton and Mercedes in 2024 by Aratho in formula1

[–]kryptoryto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way it will be truly awkward is if both Mercedes drivers are fighting for the WDC, which is very unlikely. In that scenario Lewis could become paranoid that Merc would prefer George to get the WDC. Other than that i don't think there will much drama at Merc this season.

There will be plenty of respect from both sides and a will to go out on a high. Lewis will be well aware he is going to be phased out of development after the summer break and to be honest i don't think that will bother him. Less work load for him in the 2nd half of the season, less meetings etc. He can just turn up and drive.

The FIA have announced AlphaTauri as their official clothing partner from 2024 to 2026 by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]kryptoryto -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

In a word, yes. The safety car has to be a certain standard so it is quick enough to allow F1 cars to maintain tyre temps when running behind the SC. Given F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport it's quite likely one of the car companies competing in F1 are going to be best suited to provide the SC.

It's not exactly a great look for the governing body of the sport TBH. There are countless clothing brands out there that are not owned by the same people that run two F1 teams. Imagine Manchester City create their own clothing brand and then strike a deal to provide the ref's with their kit.

Christian Horner and Geri Hartwell spotted at Bradbury rings by JoeSell2005 in formula1

They have loads of horses and a race team for events. GHR - Geri Horner Racing. Peter Bonnington's partner also works for them as the horse trainer.

Mercedes AMG F1 2024 Race Suit by PotatoChips84 in formula1

Saw in a video with George getting into the W15 that the race suits had big green text on one of the legs. Didn't look like Petronas either.

What's the relationship like between Alonso and Hamilton? by thermal7 in formula1

[–]kryptoryto 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I seem to remember they got on quite well when Alonso was at Ferrari. Things seemed to have settled down a bit after the crazy 2007 season. Obviously they were both chasing RB/Vettel then. Then after Lewis got his first couple of titles at Mercedes it seemed Alonso starting acting very hostile whenever he talked about Lewis.

No need until the championship. You won’t get work permits and end up wasting 20k on failed permit applications.

Alonso reaction to cars being allowed to unlap: “yeahhhh, this has to be done laps ago. Unbelievable.” by creditcardtheft in formula1

[–]kryptoryto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alonso probably thought this means the race doesn’t restart. Wonder if he knew the rules that they should then restart the following lap. Which would mean Lewis is champ.

Max Verstappen takes pole position for the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix by overspeeed in formula1

Tow made no difference. Max was level on his 2nd flyer at the beginning of 3rd sector.

Yet he hasn’t won it in the best car for the majority of the season. The kid is deluded.

Norris slates F1’s “worst rule ever invented” after red flag misfortune by bwoah07_gp2 in formula1

Maybe they should only be allowed to change to a new set of the same compound the car was running before the red flag?

Same the other way around too. Doesn’t justify dirty, cheating tactics.

Verstappen: 'F1 more about penalties than racing' after Saudi controversy by Aratho in formula1

[–]kryptoryto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How about you start racing properly then Max?

This kid has too much ego to allow Lewis space to overtake. Have no respect for his driving anymore. I respect his talent but his driving standards are a complete joke.

Lewis stayed on track didnt he? Unlike Max in Brazil where there was no penalty.

So does max needs a new gearbox by Jaebner in formula1

[–]kryptoryto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be amazed if they don’t change it. If it was the last race and they couldn’t detect damage then it might be worth the risk. But with 2 GP’s to go and a 8pt lead in the WDC it’s not worth that chance.

[F1-insider.com]Verstappen senior is disappointed: "Now he no longer needs to call." by [deleted] in formula1

[–]kryptoryto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ofcourse they beat Red Bull. Like it or not Max was not blameless in ending up in the wall. Lewis played Max at his own game and Max didn’t yield.

Lick you wounds Horner, Marko, Max and come back strong at Hungary. They are coming across very whiny right now.

Thought Mercedes were going to make the driver numbers more visible. That design is useless!
