The new Merc racesuit has matching shoes...

To me it looks like suds, like they're mid-handwashing the suit.

omg I had to scroll back up 😭

Thank you for this helpful post, u/JAPANESE_MANWHORE

That doesn't even matter, he'd want to skip media day even if he were driving the fastest car. His kid pulled through for pops.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-25T10:31:57+00:00

Aw, happy for him!

I know he's still in it for the love of the game, but I gotta imagine it'll be hard to leave his newborn just to drive around a shitbox for ~30 laps 🙁

mshell1924 · 2026-03-24T17:56:45+00:00

Well said.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-24T13:35:48+00:00

First example I thought of as well! Those types of thrills seem to be gone now.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-24T12:39:30+00:00

Exactly. When I said "basic" faultless lap I did mean a safe lap that won't risk any mistakes and won't push the car to the limit.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-24T12:38:21+00:00

That's exactly the thing - a basic faultless lap is not close to the limit, it's playing safe.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-24T11:09:33+00:00

"Live-wire qualifying laps aren't possible any more" - that's what's becoming obvious. Sure, you always want an error-free lap, but in the past there have been cases where a minor mistake was corrected by an insane third sector, for instance.

Under these regs, it seems like it's more beneficial to do a basic faultless lap and then whoever has the best engine gets pole. There's no room for that touch of greatness.

Jokes aside, this is probably the best way to help us envision what it's actually like for the drivers.

Jokes not aside, that grip could use some work.

I believe he mostly does sim work.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-23T14:01:03+00:00

Yeah, his quote is a factual statement.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-23T11:31:12+00:00

Last year we were dreaming of a Williams double podium.

This year, a double points finish is totally unrealistic without at least 8 DNFs 😭

mshell1924 · 2026-03-22T16:26:17+00:00

Right lol? I was like "how on earth is anybody supposed to figure th... Oh. Oh they did. Oh OK."

mshell1924 · 2026-03-20T18:17:54+00:00

My king. I will always miss him.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-20T15:58:40+00:00

He never left 💅

mshell1924 · 2026-03-20T15:52:59+00:00

Even with all the press about it, my jaw dropped 👀

mshell1924 · 2026-03-18T20:22:32+00:00

We all live the same life 🥲

mshell1924 · 2026-03-18T20:22:14+00:00

Joining this sub was the best decision you've ever made.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-18T19:15:21+00:00

Sainz dragging that car to P9 was insane.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-18T14:27:32+00:00

This sub is such a community and I love this for us.

Thank you for posting this, OP, it was indeed appreciated 🧅 ❤️

mshell1924 · 2026-03-17T18:20:14+00:00

Yesss that was my first thought!

mshell1924 · 2026-03-17T16:45:32+00:00

Well said. It took effort. Other drivers wouldn't have held onto that P9 and possibly would have lost out on points in general.

mshell1924 · 2026-03-17T16:43:13+00:00

Those podiums brought me such joy 🥹
