I mean, seriously🤣

Nothing about this season makes sense. People are basically stumbling into the lead because everyone else is crashing or being idiots, while you guys act like your favorite drivers are absolute gods for just being there when things go wrong.🤣

Screw Alonso, Hamilton, Button, Vettel, and Webber.☕

Honestly? Kubica deserved the title this season. Everyone else is trash, plain and simple. The amount of driving mistakes and sheer stupidity we've seen this year is more than Piquet Jr. managed in his entire career.🤦

You're all out here worshiping guys who are collectively useless.🙄

I’m probably the most realistic person in this thread, and honestly, that should worry you.🤣
Look, I root for Vettel and I like him, but I'm not going to call his drives "masterful" or pretend he's some elite talent just because he got lucky while the competition blew an engine, popped a tire, lost a wheel, or shot themselves in the foot.☕

Sure, the season is entertaining, but the actual driving from the title contenders has been total garbage compared to what a real championship season should look like.☕

Hulkenberg🙏🙏🙏 🙏 🙏

The kid deserves a standing ovation for his rookie season. In just 18 career starts, driving a car that isn't even top five, he pulled off a podium—and not just any podium. His pace was over a second😲 faster than P2.

🙏🙏

And an even bigger shocker? He was three seconds faster than Mass, who’s supposed to be the local hero and knows this track better than anyone.

It’s honestly baffling and an incredible achievement.🙏

It’s a damn shame a driver like that has to fight for a seat next year while a bunch of entitled assholes with deep pockets get spots handed to them without breaking a sweat.🤦

Maybe we should just scrap the soccer subforum entirely and launch a "Ball Sports" megathread where we cram every single game into one place. Honestly, might be a better idea.😬

Anyway, the Auto Racing section is already packed with NASCAR, rally, WTCR, World Superbike, and everything else under the sun...

So, what's stopping you from posting about other types of motorsports here?🤷

You haven't even posted once in the Formula 1 section or in this thread above.😕

What's the point of this thread then?🤷

cosmicridge5 said:Yeah. 🙏 Thank God it wasn't Gumbek behind the wheel. 🙏 🤣 😬😬

Gumbek could've handled that with a lot more class.☕

Oh sure, because saving gas is exactly what we need right now at the worst possible moment.😳

These guys would just zip right past him and wouldn't have a clue what actually happened.🤣

👍 Vettel claims this isn't just luck or some fluke😁

mistybear87, you clearly can't handle loving Vettel😍 and apparently I need to start banning anyone who dares to say a word against him from now on.😬

mistybear87 said:Anyway, since it’s a night race, anyone down to grab a drink at a pub in NYC?🤷🤷

Are the taxi drivers still on strike?😬
And did they actually drop their prices yet?🤣

Damn, how am I even supposed to get home?🤣
I definitely don't dare try.🤣
Either I'll be drowning my sorrows or celebrating—either way, it's gonna be a long night.😬

Button is terrified he won't be able to help Hamilton out😢

Poor Button. That was basically his life's mission right there.😢

Jason Campbell70 said:Nico Hulkenberg was clearly playing the long game with his race setup. 😉

Luck was on his side too, since the rain held off until the very end of qualifying.

Whatever happens, he'll probably settle for 6th or 7th after a few dry laps tomorrow.

doesn't have to be😁

It’s not that easy to overtake, and Williams Racing is solid on starts—plus they're starting right behind two struggling Red Bull Racing cars.🤣

One or two wrecks from SC and we might just see a first win for Hulk.😁

well, looks like the season is pretty much dead for Sebastian Vettel😢😢😢

Taking second place in the USA is cursed😢

but honestly, I don't care who takes it, just let Hulk win🎉

Who even are Vettel and Webber?🤣

Williams 🙏🙏🙏

Hulk 🙂🙏🙏🙏

Dam, I'm honestly grinning like a kid because of him and Williams 🙏🙏🙏

cosmicridge5 said:Kubica is faster 🙏

But honestly, why even bother watching? Red Bull is just going to show up to qualifying and cause their usual chaos...

I'm not so sure. Webber looks pretty rough when it rains.🤷

here he goes 😁

Vettel takes first 👋
Hamilton lands second 👋
Massa edges out Alonso 😬

Webber finishes ninth 🤦

cosmicridge5 said:I'm stunned 😁 and I just don't believe you 🤣

I think your faith in Seb still having a shot at the title just took a massive hit... so now you're trying to comfort yourself with these little rationalizations 😬

And we both know who you're actually 'emotionally behind' 😁😁

Look, Webber is basically an old man compared to me
😬 I guess I have a soft spot for those older guys who finally get a real shot. Honestly, I'd love to see Webber take the title, but definitely not if Vettel has to miss out. If that happens, I'll hold both of them responsible, and I mean it

Actually, I'm starting to find Webber a bit annoying because of how much he's pushing this 😳
But hey, if he really is performing this well this season, credit where it's due
👎 And honestly? I think it might be too soon for Vettel. I'm worried he'll get an ego like Alonso or Hamilton, and an early title could totally mess with his head. That's the catch

👍

😉

cosmicridge5, you watching practice?

Not sure what's up, but the BBC isn't loading for me.😕

What, are they on strike or something?🤣

Joshua Newman2 said:I don't have a stream running. 😢
But looks like rain—they're about 10 seconds slower than yesterday.

Yeah, it's raining. I caught a random German feed, but the quality is garbage and it keeps stuttering.👎

It’s not even heavy rain, though. Looks pretty light to me.🤷

Anyone got a link to a stream for FP3?

Jason Campbell70 said:Fernando Diaz. ☕

Like I already said, a huge part of me is actually rooting for Webber to take the title.
That way, we’d get another year of some random driver winning the championship instead. 😁

It's hard to cheer for a guy who used to be everyone's villain, or whatever.🤣

Honestly, they should just sit down and have a good long cry together. I think they really need to vent.😬

Joshua Newman2 said:That comment was clearly a caricature; I thought it was obvious I didn't actually mean that only TBF and Helmut Marko are sticking up for Vettel. My main point is that you guys are in a massive majority when it comes to how that crash went down.

Whatever. We can disagree all we want. 👍

Alright, let's get this moving. Let's see who the remaining four think they actually have a shot at winning the championship. Since Button is officially out of the running, what's the play?

Here’s how I see it:
Webber
Webber 2nd Hamilton
Alonso 2nd.
Alonso 4th Vettel

It’s pretty ironic, actually. Before I even joined this forum, Vettel was one of my absolute favorites.

I'll take Alonso over him any day.🤣

I think I’ve completely lost my edge here. Totally out of it.👎

I've got this stupid gut feeling that he’s going to clinch the title today, and honestly, I've been absolutely livid all day.😳

What do you guys think about the list?

Webber—honestly, let him win if he wants, but I don't want anyone handing it to him on a silver platter. If he does get handed a victory like that, he should just retire right then and there.
Webber 2nd Vettel
Hamilton 3rd.
Hamilton 4th Button
999. Alonso

Honestly, I think the worst thing that could happen to Vettel is actually winning the title this season. Only a total idiot would think he’s ready for that. It's way too early for him; there are still plenty of things he needs to figure out first.

Jason Campbell70 said:The new world champion for the 2010 season. 👍

I’m secretly hoping we see a repeat of 2007. 😁
.

Talk about being prophetic🙏

I'm right there with you😁

Just not sure which one you mean—Webber or Vettel🤷

But if 2007 happens again, it’ll be Vettel. At least I’m the only one here who called Raikkonen the champ😍
