They should just set up a sniper unit. Anyone who drifts off track gets a bullet in their tire.🙄 Honestly, with those fences, the track looks more like a high-security prison camp🙄 and Max could probably run the whole show anyway.☕

It’s unlikely 😢 unless we get some serious rain 😈. That would actually make things interesting. 😬 I’d love to see Sebastian Vettel back on that podium; if the weather turns and we end up with nothing but Vettel-1, Kubica-2, and Sutil-3 🙂 now that would be a hell of a show. Honestly, I'm sitting here trying to convince myself over a beer that it might actually happen. Last race gave me a little hope. 🤣

So, weather looks like it'll be trash for the race. 😢

Not that it matters much, but whenever STR is topping the charts on Speedway, they somehow always struggle when the lights actually go out. Weird, right? No clue why that happens, but I've definitely noticed a pattern. 🤷

More threats about penalties, because apparently that's the only tool they have left.🙄

At this rate, they’ll probably make drivers pull up at the finish line after every lap just to hand the race director a hundred bucks.🤣

Cool photo🙂 dark, moody colors😁 honestly, it'd be awesome watching the broadcast, especially those aerial shots😁 whether it's high noon or dead of night😍

Raymond Ortiz89 said:Alright, thanks. Looks like the practice session just wrapped up anyway—should've asked for the link sooner.

You don't even need to ask.😉 Just check the TOP Temu F1 Links right at the very top 😉. Most of them are there. But since you're asking and I don't want you hunting around, here’s a massive collection of links and the latest news:http://www.linksheaven.com/formula1/news.php 😉

Raymond Ortiz89 said:Hey, thanks. Does this link cover every race or just this one?

Here you go: http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/ It’s got everything—practice sessions, news, testing, qualifying, races... basically every single thing about Formula 1, from old results to current ones.😉

Sutil spins out in the chicane, keeps going, and nearly slams into a McLaren😁

McLaren clearly not an incident-free session and especially the final corner will be the subject of debate in the hours☕

And here are the results:

1 L. Hamilton McLaren 1:45.518 20
2 F. Massa Ferrari 1:45.598 23
3 K. Räikkönen Ferrari 1:45.961 24
4 H. Kovalainen McLaren 1:46.463 20
5 R. Kubica BMW 1:46.618 23
6 N. Rosberg Williams 1:46.710 25
7 F. Alonso Renault 1:46.725 29
8 N. Heidfeld BMW 1:46.964 24
9 N. Piquet jr. Renault 1:47.175 30 10
10 J. Button Honda 1:47.277 30
11 S. Vettel Scuderia Toro Rosso 1:47.570 28
12 K. Nakajima Williams 1:47.662 23
13 T. Glock Toyota 1:47.706 27
14 S. Bourdais Scuderia 1:48.097 16
15 D. Coulthard Red Bull 1:48.517 23
16 R. Barrichello Honda 1:48.725 19
17 A. Sutil Force India F1 1:48.839 24
18 G. Fisichella Force 1:48.906 25 19
19 J. Trulli Toyota 1:49.064 29
20 M. Webber Red Bull 1:53.703 4

Doesn't look like any of this actually matters; seems like pure chaos all over again.

Raymond Ortiz89 said:Man, I can't find any way to watch how Massa and Kimi are doing.

Can't find anything either. 😢

At least you can check the live timing here: http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/livefeed/2172/779/ 😉

Barrichello spun out in the final corner and slammed into the wall☕

Sam Fowler20 said:Moss wins☕

obviously ☕

A bicycle would probably be faster at this point. Given how they started, it looks like nobody's even going to finish. Honestly, it feels like we're heading toward a race where the winning SC driver is just the last guy left on the track with a working car.☕

Sandra Wood5 said:They weren't even faster... tires barely even warmed up...😂

You can probably find a stream online🤷

Looks like he’s practicing his crash course, but Lewis Hamilton left him in the dust 😠

That's Mark Webber, if I'm not mistaken. Plus, according to the news sites, the track is wet 😈. Looks like total chaos is incoming 😲.

Raymond Ortiz89 said:🤮 helping is just bullshit if you're a driver. win the title yourself instead of being pushed along.

I want to see Mass win without anyone holding his hand.

☕Interesting point. Let's look back at last season—not that I’m out here defending Mass or anything, I don't care about him either way, but let's be real: if Mass hadn't been there last year, Kimi wouldn't have been champion.👎vozać,ali realno gledajući lani da nije bilo Masse, Kimi ne bi bio prvak☕

Frank Collins85 said:LOL

Did someone fly off a corner and head straight back to the pits, or what the hell am I looking at?😬 🤣

fadedpanther4 said:I have a hunch Kimi Räikkönen might actually be good.
We'll see...

Personally, I think David Coulthard is going to be the big star this race.😉

And I'm not even hoping Timo Glock won't be trailing way behind him.😬

coastalstag15 said:boldhound8, it’s actually quite refreshing to see someone with such a strong sense of conscience, taking the time to warn everyone before you start handing out bans.
If only everyone else behaved with even half your integrity—or perhaps a third, or even just a quarter of it...🥳

It all depends on your perspective. Personally, I find all the mods here to be pretty solid. I mostly hang out in the Formula 1 and Soccer sections (though even less frequently than that), and honestly, I’ve had nothing but good experiences with the moderation. No complaints at all. Plus, this isn't even my original handle; my real account has been around since the IMF days and hasn't run into any bans or anything like that. I was just smart enough to forget my password, and now that old account is long gone.😵I’ve only picked up two warnings since I started here, even though I probably deserve way more. One of them was a total mistake, and honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. I just sent a quick DM to the moderator to ask about it, and she told me it was just an automated error. That was it. No attitude, no drama, nothing. Everything’s sorted now. If I ever have a question or something doesn't make sense, I just shoot over a message and we're good.👍

And yeah, back to the topic:

I check the FBI reports regularly. It's actually useful because you can see exactly which moderators are active and where they stand without any guesswork. 🙄 So then they just don't post there, and you don't have to deal with the headache of all those cardboard boxes.

Honestly, if I were to read what the FBI is up to, I’d probably get banned from the Politics sub on Reddit immediately. From what I can see, people over there hand out bans just for saying "good morning." But since the FBI is lurking here, I guess I'll hold my breath.🙏 Look, you see stuff like that and you just stay far away from it. No stress, no drama.👍
That’s exactly why I am dead set against getting rid of this PDF.

And what about boldhound8? 🙏 I don't have much direct experience working with him, but from what I can see, he seems like one of the best moderators on this Reddit thread. He’s incredibly fair, honest, and—let's be real—absolutely massive. 🙏 To Sepa and the FIA—who, unfortunately, aren't running the show as moderators anymore.😢

rapidtinker45 said:which just goes to show how "smart" Lewis Hamilton is being—especially after last year's finish. All he had to do was let him take that corner, and he probably would've overtaken him for 5th anyway. But no, the kid thought he could pull it off right then, so here we are.

Say whatever you want, go ahead and spit on it, but this never would’ve happened to Michael Schumacher or Hakkinen. That old guard actually had the brains to know the rules. And I mean *all* of them. Just remember how they were the only ones who knew to stay put at the start if the red lights started flashing instead of just going out... everyone else would jump the gun and then slam on the brakes.

Oh please, there were fewer of them back then. Nowadays, even the people writing the rules don't seem to have a clue what the regulations actually are this week.🤣

hollowcanyon6 said:And how exactly is a DNA test going to prove he isn't an Englishman?

As far as I know, his mom spent a *lot* of quality time with Fhurrer.

Sam Roberts said:we saw a few examples of that today, and every single time, the guy cutting the chicane missed the car ahead of him. doesn't Hamilton have to do the same thing??

And did Kimi Räikkönen have to mess up and jerk his car left and right?🙄 In my book, that’s the actual reason Hamilton passed him, not some imaginary "extra speed" gained from cutting the chicane.🙄

Bottom line, I'm done arguing with you. Even if it were Sebastian Vettel instead of Mass and he grabbed his first win that way, I'd still say this whole thing is nonsense.☕

Sam Roberts said:The FIA would definitely pick an Englishman for the championship.

That’s a massive win for that market.

Wait, is Max an Englishman or something?!!!

Allegedly, Max is a Nazi.🙄And honestly, who knows? Maybe he isn't even an Englishman. We might need a DNA test to settle that one.☕
