So this person is basically telling me 👍

Kimi Räikkönen 🙏 🤦

As far as I can tell, the sun is absolutely beating down, though I can see some clouds gathering way off in the distance.

Good morning. Coffee is being sipped, a cigarette is smoldering, and in my heart, I am quietly hoping for a victory for the red cars.🕺

Ferkan is the icon here; drivers come and go, but since they're the ones actually piloting those machines, it's only natural that we root for them.🙂

Sebastian Vettel (I can't believe I'm actually typing this)—that was an absolutely masterclass drive. Pure skill. If you want to blame someone for the tires being shredded, look at Mercedes; they practically ate them. Who can really fault anyone for that?
Kimi Raikkonen completely dominated the entire race after that rough start. Honestly, hats off to him. 🙏
FERRARI just tore through the field, chewed up the competition, and spat them right back out onto the track. 🙏 🙂

Ferrari is Back 🙏 🙏 🙏 👏 🎉

Next year, McLaren won't be running those Mercedes engines; they'll be back with Honda 🍿

man, those Japanese guys are absolutely out of their minds 😬

I’m personally rooting for this scenario. I really want to see a field where everyone is driving more equal machinery—maybe just four or five top-tier teams—so we end up with five or six potential championship contenders fighting it out right until the final race.

Maybe I’m just being dense or my eyes aren't what they used to be, but if that red dot marks where the accident actually happened, and assuming he was traveling in a straight line—which, you know, is usually how things go when you lose control—he would have spent most of his momentum flying through the gravel trap before finally ending up in that excavator sitting right on the asphalt. 🤔

Michael Diaz4 said:It’s not like they just figured it all out overnight. Everyone starts from zero, and eventually, someone has to rise to the top. You know? I don't know if Ferrari will be truly competitive after just one year of development, but they could be quite good—I mean, they aren't exactly terrible right now. The real question remains whether there’s actually a seat available for Fernando Alonso...

Well, San Francisco isn't necessarily bad if you're comparing them to RB, Williams, and those types of outfits... but honestly, they are all absolutely abysmal when you put them up against the Bear,
Because, regardless of how much everyone improves over the next year, I don't think even Mercedes is going to just sit around and relax. So, about 90% of the field will likely still be fighting for scraps, just like they are this year.
As for a team for Fernando Alonso, I am certain there will be one. I'll bet on McLaren, despite their shared history. None of us really know what's actually happening behind closed doors; only they know that. In F1, the full truth rarely comes to light. It's all just games.
We shall see. 🍿

Michael Diaz4 said:🤔Do you honestly believe I can just develop everything and tune it perfectly to start winning right out of the gate...

Did the Bear really develop everything instantly and just start dominating everyone with a car that was faster by one to three seconds per lap depending on the track???
so anything is possible.
Obviously, everyone will have a year's head start over the Honda engine in actual racing, but you never truly know...
McLaren often had the fastest car, but reliability was always the Achilles' heel,,, 🍿

Since I’m such a huge fan of San Francisco, I suppose that makes me a supporter of both Lewis Hamilton and Kimi as well... though, honestly, I might just end up bowing down to Sebastian Vettel next year (even if I don't feel much of a connection to him right now), purely because he'll be driving for San Francisco 🍿
It was the same way when they left Ferrari—both the forest and Massa. I find myself genuinely happy whenever Alonso achieves something with any team, regardless of who they are, simply because he used to be part of the Ferrari family... you know what I mean?

I am not entirely certain, but I believe it was common knowledge that McLaren had been running Honda power for about a year before this season actually kicked off (though I can't say I'm 100% sure), so I find it hard to believe that Mercedes would just let them tweak the chassis to better suit their engine... especially given those rumors—not sure if they hold any water—that Mercedes pulls the engine out after every single race 🤔
On the other hand, working with Honda allows them to develop things in tandem and adapt to one another more fluidly... but then again, those are just my own speculations, so... who knows how things might actually turn out

God help us 😢

Michael Diaz4 said:👍 I believe that could actually happen... Goodness, it seems like the Ferrari fans have already gone quiet on the forums... There isn't a single one to be found anywhere...😁

Krivino, you’re being exhausting. Honestly, are you secretly obsessed with Lewis Hamilton? It seems like every single time you post, it’s just more whining about his "incompetence" and all that nonsense. Just give it a rest already. 🤦

Off-topic.
Lewis Hamilton says that his status won't be on par with Furkan's. As for his standing with God, he's probably got maybe two, possibly three more seasons left before it's all over.
Is McLaren actually a solid choice? I mean, if they even decide to pull the trigger on them... who knows. But honestly, in my opinion, they're looking better than Ferrari right now.
I believe Honda will deliver an incredible engine in terms of raw performance, but I can't help but worry about the reliability side of things. There’s also the issue of how well it'll actually integrate with these current chassis. From what I’ve gathered, they aren't even allowed to run tests on this year's cars, which leaves me feeling a bit uneasy about the whole transition. ☕
The bar will know once he’s had a taste.

It feels pointless to even debate this at this stage, because if it had truly been impossible to drive solo, you would have seen drivers pulling over or slowing down significantly🤷

Henry Hernandez7 said:But could the fans actually see it on the TV broadcast?

I was watching the Sky Sports stream myself, and honestly, I didn't catch a thing. It's even weirder because the commentators seemed completely oblivious—they acted like there were only one car out there, just focusing on Sutil.
They were even scratching their heads wondering why the ambulance was being called while Sutil was just walking away.

God, I really hope everything turns out okay 🙂

Lewis Hamilton just doing his usual thing 😁
