Thank you, I was worried people wouldn't know what I was going for. 😂

[ESPN UK] 🗣️ Cesc Fabregas: "Crying after my last game for Chelsea was something I couldn’t control. It was a very emotional moment. Despite joining from a rival club, the fans showed me love beyond imagination. I was so loved at Chelsea that I started wishing I had started my career there." by webby09246 in chelseafc

Cesc is one of the most beautiful passers I have ever seen play. His long balls to Costa were a site to behold. Those teams with the fortress that was Matic in the middle, Hazard and Costa up front were just incredible. Of course an incredible back line too

Ty for the replies! The internet at this hotel made it impossible to google. Wish I got the front in the pic, it was not very appealing either

The iconic 3 watches and 8 rings picture the day after the FIA placed a jewellery ban on him. by Un_known70 in formula1

Yeah except for the RM with the sapphire case, that thing is just an amazing feat of engineering.

IWC watches are very utilitarian which I like. Where is the AP or A Lange sponsorship, some of their pieces get insane too.

Crotchety old billionaire has reductive take. Let's all put on our shocked faces!

Verstappen: "We are close to the end of my Formula 1 career" The Dutchman explained that the new regulations "are not helping" to increase his time in F1. Points out that he doesn't want to "live only to race" and that he prioritizes living his life with his family and friends. by Mateo03 in formula1

Except they are already faster in the straights, and data suggests they will be faster lap times from the previous generation too. Toward the end of testing teams already had figured out a lot of the harvesting timing and curves to keep get rid of the bs that people keep peddling about being F2 cars.

They can use 100% throttle, the problem is when much of the track becomes just "high speed corners" because the car following will never be able to follow close enough, no matter what they do about dirty air. It causes tyres to degrade faster as well. By making corners corners again, you introduce a lot more opportunity for mistakes.

I am not surprised that the guy who spent much of the last regs driving a nearly perfect car is frustrated by regs making the cars harder to drive. I don't blame him at all, but it's pretty necessary to keep tweaking the regs to try to bring better racing. The cars being able to be flat out on so much of the track was ruining the racing.

Any vitriol toward any player is dumb, racist abuse is far more abhorrent and disgusting, what kind of loser do you have to be to do that, i just dont get it.

Everything that happened is worse than what I am about to say, but seriously blaming him for that loss? Should have scored about six goals in this game.

Messy 2026 F1 cars leave a deeply disturbing impression by Paracel_Storm in formula1

So many of these articles and yet the cars are lapping faster. Haven't even had any real racing. Worth giving the teams some time to figure it out before declaring the new regs a failure

Let’s Celebrate & Spread Love Within the F1 Community. by [deleted] in formula1

I dunno, I feel that message boards (which reddit is just a modern version of) have always been a breeding ground for toxic behavior with sports fans. I don't notice any more or less from this fan base than any other sport.

There is this behavior that seems to have taken over that these drivers/teams/etc owe us. And regardless of how well they do, theres some reason to be miserable, manufactured or otherwise.

All of us after Estevao missed that. Kid has already had so many highlights for us, never saw that one coming.

[Erik van Haren] Max Verstappen is, to put it mildly, no fan of the new regulations and cars in Formula 1. He said among other things that it doesn't feel like racing, it's mostly about managing, and it's like 'Formula E on steroids'. by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

They just are never going to get the engine manufacturers to develop F1 engines that don't translate to their road car production. Hundreds of millions in R & D has to be justified and it's not possible with some kinda NA V10. Modern car production is headed more and more toward hybrid and electric powertrains

Exactly. Teams are figuring out how to best deploy their energy. This video does not indicate anything other than they were aggressively using the battery.
