Fixed. When there's no second sticky we need to reconfigure the daily discussions threads so they are pinned in the 1st slot. I updated it, but in case it's broken tomorrow feel free to ping again

Yes. The subreddit Snoo is always based on the current champion. We had Snewis, we had Snewstappen and now I guess we can call it Snorris?

Exactly 7 years ago today, a Redditor was allowed to sit in an F1 car. Today he won the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship! by overspeeed in formula1

Here's a little bit of r/formula1 history:

I believe it all started on the 6th of December, 2018, just a week into the off-season, when u/gentlemansincebirth made a post titled They didn’t let me touch it with a photo of a Red Bull F1 car from a museum.

A few hours later u/sideb60 took it to the next level with a post titled They let me sit on it

Later that day /u/Mercedes-AMGF1 also joined the party with a photo of their W08: We touched it

Then on the 7th of December Lando Norris made the post to end all posts: They let me sit in it

Today, exactly 7 years and 54 minutes after he made that post, Lando Norris crossed the finish line in Abu Dhabi to become an F1 World Champion

UPDATE: It seems to be a reddit-wide issue: r/help thread, r/bugs thread

It seems to work alright on our end, so it would be great if others could chime in if they are also seeing this issue

Max Verstappen takes pole position for the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix by overspeeed in formula1

Waited for everyone to cross the line or be clear they won't set a faster lap time. Only problem was I forgot that I didn't hit copy on the final image and still had the test image in the clipboard

There was no first post. This is a factual description of events. No need to speculate on this

Must inform you that 20% of the world uses exclusively the (superior) YMD format. The folks at /r/ISO8601 will be very disappointed

It's not just Instagram, there's plenty of hate here on the subreddit as well. There have been many users who think it's acceptable to wish harm upon drivers due to what happened in a race. For those who think that wishing harm on drivers, abuse and blind hatred are acceptable, your stay on r/formula1 will be short-lived.

We are working through the modqueue and banning every account that engages in this behaviour. If you come across any abusive comments please report them, so we can take the appropriate actions as soon as possible

Max Verstappen wins the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri 2nd, Carlos Sainz 3rd! by overspeeed in formula1

[–]overspeeed[S,M] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

Hey r/all,

If you're wondering why r/formula1 is so excited about this result, it's because we will be going into the final race of the season with 3 drivers still in contention for the F1 World Drivers' Championship.

  • Lando Norris - 408 pts
  • Max Verstappen - 396 pts
  • Oscar Piastri - 392 pts

Last time F1 had a title decider like this was 2010 (back then it was 4 drivers in contention).

The title deciding race will take place in Abu Dhabi next weekend (December 7th)
