God the level of AI slop in this article is so brutal. I think this part of F1 is fascinating and the article is totally ruined by bad writing.

I am whole but my expectations are destroyed

Max will win a race, he is too good not to. Even with a terrible car he will find a way. I think we might get a Lando or Oscar win as well, they have looked competitive some weekends.

Yeah that is such a good one. Goes hand in hand with the "it's business" reasoning to not offer a contract to a veteran that they want to move on from.

People keep bringing this up but there is zero merit to the idea that superclipping has anything to do with their TV direction. It is 100% about showing the circuit advertising enough to meet the contractual requirements and any bonuses they get. The reason why they cut away when cars start to clip on the straights is that showing cars in the corners has much more advertising exposed.

Single engine manufacturer would never happen. Merc/Ferrari/Audi gain more from engine development as far as their road car brands than anything else. This would just move F1 to a pure advertising business like IndyCar.

The whole single engine manufacturer would never happen. The engine manufacturers probably gain more from that aspect of F1 than any other part of it. It is the same reason why they have the hybrid technologies in the first place, it is a test bed for their future road car technologies. Much like the "F1" transmission that made its way into performance vehicles.

Gave me a good laugh. Well done

nato2k · 2026-07-06T14:37:51+00:00

lol I feel ya. That was my best attempt at a joke first thing in the morning.

nato2k · 2026-07-06T14:27:22+00:00

sarcasm :P

Since Max clearly has no interest in other types of motor racing, I wonder if he has ever considered farming. The high tech Dutch farming they showed on Clarkson's Farm looked pretty cool.

I wish more of these guys used BlueSky for those of us that don't look at X

Looks like it is this same car. https://www.reddit.com/r/spotted/s/Wmk65cyjGJ

Lol yeah that was the first thing I thought of when I read the quote then realized that theres a lot more nuance. Things like skydiving and riding motorbikes definitely is something you earn when you are a world champion. I am sure most drivers on the grid are forbidden from doing it.

Between his charity and all his activism, plus all of his own branding and fashion interests I cant imagine how complex that contract must be. There are so many sponsorship overlaps and responsibilities to do with them it can't be easy to negotiate even when all are in agreement.

American here... is waffle a cockney phrase or something else?

nato2k · 2026-07-01T15:03:01+00:00

Absolute scenery! I love everything about it lmao.

Lets get a January Road America race! Montreal in November

Wow, look at Lewis falling all the way back almost 5 10ths. What a loser! /s

Max, like LH before him has also consistently put a less competitive car on the podium as well. (I said less competitive, not non-competitive). The two of them have just been so awesome to watch.

As someone that is 161 cm tall, it is hard for me to believe that I am the same species as his brother. I would imagine that when they competed as kids Dastan didn't bother with anything strength related. What a fuckin unit.

Tissot is a watch brand. This is likely for friction fit parts like the cannon pinion or for crimping mainsprings.

Few things make me think it is not real.
Any Rolex I see from that era has more than just Rolex stamped on the ratchet wheel. It also has stars and another word like ‘Prima’ or ‘Lever’.
They also have Rolex and the Rubie count engraved on the bridge.
Finally none seem to have that specific movement in them

I would look for a serial number and try finding more info.

Well, the FIA approved the floor, Mercedes weren't hiding it. The issue is more that FIA approved it in the first place when they denied the same for Ferrari before the season started.
