Next time he'll just keep it short and write it in plain English so everyone stays happy instead of complaining.👍 Honestly, why are we even talking about this? Just shift your focus to race expectations and try predicting who actually has a shot at finishing behind those two McLarens.😁

McLaren and Virgin.☕

They’re still trailing behind. 😬🤣

Christian Williams61 said:I honestly wonder who’s actually going to sit through four opening posts about Valencia 🤣 🙂

It’s probably just going to be one exhausting procession ☕

You guys have no idea—it's going to be the most intense and best race of the season. 🤣

Total madness on the track; bulls and matadors will be dropping from the sky and running between the cars. 🤣

Joshua Newman2 said:I’m with you... This season has been a total wildcard so far, and there's zero reason to think things aren't starting to settle. Against all odds, Jenson Button has actually become a real threat to Lewis Hamilton, Mark Webber absolutely crushed Sebastian Vettel, and Nico Rosberg left Michael Schumacher in the dust... Plus, I don't think many people expected Red Bull to be this dominant through the first third of the races, nor did they expect Ferrari to be mediocre by their standards, Mercedes to struggle, or Renault to be the top dog again since their glory days.
I'm holding out hope for more surprises and massive upsets later on. 🙏

So you're finally admitting Webber caused the crash? 🙏 🙏 🙏

Time catches up to everyone. 🤣 😂 😂

But honestly, this take is just ridiculous. You could have said the exact same thing about Button just three races ago, and it would have been spot on—he practically had double Hamilton's points back then, and look at it now: Hamilton’s pulled ahead. 😉

Like I already said, Hamilton, Button, Vettel, Webber, and Alonso all have a shot, but Robert Kubica and Nico Rosberg aren't exactly out of the running either.😉

Any gap smaller than 50 or 75 points is laughably tiny. It can be erased before the season ends, so claiming someone is "crushing it" or has a real advantage is just pure exaggeration. There really isn't one.

Don't worry, Robert Kubica could be leading the championship in just two races if things go his way.☕

Hard. Really hard. Almost impossible. 😳

hollowgull5 said:even Grandpa is more likable than that clown now🙏

At least Grandpa actually has some guts to say what he thinks, unlike this guy.

For Grandpa, 🙏🙏🙏

I gotta admit, you've got a point there.🤣

It’s honestly hard to believe, but I’m actually feeling more sympathy for the old man than I am for Alonso right now.😲

If someone had told me this was how things would be just three or four years ago, I would've told them they were out of their mind.🤣

redheron12 said:Nobody’s actually hating on Ferrari. They're just coming for Alonso.

Stop hating on us from the sidelines. Try actually getting in the game and see how much fun it really is. 😁

🤣 It was just as much fun back when he was with McLaren. 😛

The only time I actually liked Renault was that first stint.😁It all comes down to Grandpa.🤣

slynomad32 said:This forum is basically run by a handful of people who spend their time posting total nonsense and attacking anyone who even mentions Ferrari. Seriously, where is all this frustration coming from?🤷

Some people just hate Ferrari. What's so weird about that? 🤷

Some people hate McLaren, some can't stand Red Bull, others have an issue with Renault, and yeah, some didn't care for Brawn either. So what? What's your problem? This is a forum, not ferrari.com. 🤣

slynomad32 said:Give it a rest already.

I'm not doing any more or any less than usual. Same old story.🤣

slynomad32 said:You can really see Ferrari making moves, and they'll keep coming if Alonso hadn't messed up—he'd be in first place right now.
McLaren is performing exactly how you'd expect. Meanwhile, Red Bull is slowly sinking.
Alonso is a massive title contender.

Yeah, you're right. Alonso and Red Bull are the top contenders for "Biggest Loser of the Year."🤣

LH: I picked the tires myself—and Jenson did too. Obviously, the team handled the strategy side, so everyone nailed their roles perfectly. I’ll admit, Jenson’s input to this team is incredible—honestly, the best teammate I've ever had.

He's messing with him just a little bit. 🤣

Even if I have to agree with him—because he's totally right—he's still low-key screwing over Alonso. 😬🤣

cosmicridge5 said:Wait, who said what to whom? I'm lost. 😁

Pretty sure Vettel asked something about the fastest lap toward the end of the race.😁

And they hit him with that sentence above. 🤣

Arthur Doyle70 said:no

@stormybadger8 👍 , by the way... I’d rather you just blow up your engine and jump ship to another team 😁

Look, they aren't going to listen to me anyway. Honestly, they could be anywhere else—anywhere except Ferrari, HRT, Virgin, or Sauber. Everything else would be an upgrade, even Lotus 🙏

Seriously, if this crew actually had a car that was three seconds faster per lap than the next guy, I still wouldn't bet on them winning a title 😵
They really do manage to screw up everything humanly possible 🤦

So, when and where are we meeting up for a cold one with Pivkan? 😁

Here I am 😬
no need to go looking elsewhere, I'm right here if you need me 😁

Arthur Doyle70 said:How about I buy you a beer so you can chill out regarding MCM 😉
You're awfully worked up...🤷 Let's take your Volkswagen down to Woking one day,
and you can ask them whatever you want there...👍

I'm down 👍

can do either, just don't get mad if I splash some paint from their car onto a Red Bull 🤣

The FIA is such a joke, seriously, this is getting ridiculous 🤣😂😂

Michael Schumacher didn't get penalized even after talking to the drivers🤣 Massa seems to forget his grandpa isn't the boss of the team anymore 😬

Massa got penalized 🤣

but Alguersar Kubica just got a warning 🤣

Robert Kubica got a warning too 🙄

Look, I love Robert, I really do, but that was a genuinely stupid move and he deserved the penalty.

The FIA is just tripping over its own feet at this point. Now they're probably trying to play nice and not mess things up too much, but it’s obvious things are going to spiral out of control and turn into a total mess. I don't even know what to say. Watching the overtakes and the wild moves and defensive driving is fun, but this could lead to some serious bullshit.😢

Joseph Jones12 said:Good grief, I can't believe what I'm reading.
A bunch of supposed Formula 1 experts and FIA rule masters here (with a few exceptions, I guess).

It’s unbelievable how everyone else is to blame whenever some driver they support has a bad race.

Everyone wants to hand out penalties, yet nobody actually knows the Formula 1 rulebook.

If there were any actual grounds for a penalty, the FIA would have absolutely crushed McLaren—which history shows they aren't afraid to do.
For the record, McLaren once paid the largest fine in sports history—$100 million—which makes the next biggest penalty in the sport look like pocket change.

And then there's the blatant ignorance mixed with all this "expert" lecturing. Hamilton didn't steal anything from Ferrari. It was Alonso who pulled those stunts and then slunk away from McLaren because his ego couldn't handle Hamilton being faster.

At the end of the day, McLaren is one of the most penalized teams in Formula 1.

Yeah, right. So from now on, they'll just throw massive penalties at everything.🙄

And the funniest part? Now, if someone actually has a genuine mechanical failure, they'll probably get slapped with a penalty just because of McLaren's shady reputation.🙄

And what are you even talking about, claiming Hamilton copied anyone?🤷

The FIA hammered McLaren so hard that they clearly realized it was nonsensical, so now they're overcompensating by looking the other way constantly. And McLaren is taking full advantage of that.

redheron12 As specified by:
To be fair, I told you just yesterday that McLaren was going to tear through Red Bull like a toddler with a rattle—no safety car or rain needed. 😍

Red Bull is absolutely tearing it up right now. Two races in a row and they're just unstoppable. 🤦

That’s got nothing to do with McLaren. ☕

What an absolute joke. How do you lose nearly 15 seconds on Mark Webber just to end up losing positions and still being stuck dragging your tail around the track? It’s pure incompetence. The guy clearly has zero clue how to plan a pit strategy. A total disaster. Even a local news station would have called him out for that level of failure.

Arthur Doyle70 said:All that matters is they screwed him out of $10,000 just because he didn't make it to the pits on time.🙂

The 🙏FIA
are absolute geniuses.

👎

Look, you can think what you want, but you clearly missed Hamilton's pit exit.
🤣

And besides, Robert Kubica will probably get a penalty after the race, just like Michael Schumacher did, but it won't matter anyway since he's got nothing left to gain. 🤣

Bottom line? I’m expecting maybe one point for Narain Karthikeyan. 😉

Joshua Newman2 said:I'm with you, man! 👍

Honestly, this crew proved today why they don't deserve the title. They’ve got two lightning-fast drivers and the fastest car on the grid, yet they constantly screw up and end up behind their main rivals. 🤷 They should seriously just rename themselves Amateur Grand Prix (or pick a different forum handle).🤣

It's actually insane. Horner completely botched the tactics again, Webber loses five spots at the start because of some nonsense, and then Vettel’s car acts up—probably the gearbox. Did they mess with the settings so he has to "short shift" or something? 😕 It means they can't even put basic parts together without issues, let alone nail the strategy, and somehow they still manage to hang around the top 5.

Seriously, if Matthews actually wants to win a championship one day, he needs to overhaul the entire organization from the ground up. ☕

And if Vettel ever wants to win a title, he needs to get out of Red Bull Racing ASAP. That contract extension was easily one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen.😢

Red Bull completely blew it 🤦

I honestly have no clue why the hell they pitted so early at the start 🙄

Screw the advantage of hard tires. They totally tanked qualifying because of it, and in the end, Vettel was pulling better times on the softs anyway—he ended up staying on them almost as long as his first stint on the hards 😕
Vettel - 14 laps on hards, 13 laps on softs 🙄
Webber - 13 laps on hards, then 20 laps on softs at the end

Ask Christian Horner 😳 what the point of all this even was 🤷

http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre...ce-summary.pdf 🙄

The guy is seriously out of his mind. This race was a tactical disaster.

McLaren absolutely played them. They had every card in the deck, and then just threw it all away. 🤦

Arthur Doyle70 said:What's even the point of 🤷

http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2010/831/6747/

Well, that works for me 🤣

Maybe there’s some loophole in the rulebook😬 that 😂 Horner finds

Now they should probably penalize Alonso too 🙂

wearypanther34 said:Vettel’s on the bad side of the grid, while Alonso gets the good one.👋

You sure about that? Seems to me everyone's starting exactly where they should. Only thing is, Webber's spot is gonna be empty.🤔
