Give Safety Car 👋

That’s exactly what they wanted. Isn't that why they told him to "come back slowly"?

Pure deception. That's what it is. ☕

Felipe Massa is out front. 🙂

Two Mercedes-Benz cars in the pits. 🙏🙏🙏

Ford takes the top two spots.
There’s some serious foul play happening around tenth place.

If you ask me, this is how the final standings should look. ☕

A total scam.-1.

Bernie mentioned something about extra tires, specifically from the Los Angeles race.
Didn't quite catch it all—brain fog is hitting hard today. 😁

A transcript will probably leak somewhere soon enough.

Well, well. An exclusive. 👋

Bernie and Hembery caught up for a pleasant chat. 😁

Phone's buzzing at 7:50.
Race starts at 9.

What time does this whole race farce even start?

Modern Formula 1 doesn't stay afloat because of the drivers; it stays alive thanks to sponsors like Randstad, Shell, Telmex, and Siemens.

Modern Formula 1?
Just ask any casual fan what they think about the sport over the last few years.
Those people aren't tuning in for the Practice Sessions or even qualifying. They couldn't care less about tire degradation or delamination or any other technical jargon.
You don't have to look far; just check out the threads regarding the races in Vietnam on this forum.

Most people just don't give a damn.🙂

And you all just have to pick a fight with everything, don't you?

To be honest, he’s just trying to manufacture some optimism—hence that prediction about the soft tires falling apart almost immediately.
So, here we go again with the nonsense about some "tire that exploded after only five laps." 😵🤣

I really liked his point about that too:

stormybadger8 Asks:
There’s a subtle distinction there, isn't there? Is it driving a car on worn-out soft tires with a full tank of gas, or is it running on fresh softs with an empty tank?

Wait, hold on... didn't we just see them taking those corners much smoother?An option?Do tires perform better with a lighter car?
Oh yeah, specifically during that last race, when Adrian Sutil made that massive blunder trying to pull off a stint on the softer tires?

Let's not kid ourselves. Today was qualifying day, and Red Bull Racing completely blew it.
First, that absolute disaster with Mark Webber, and then Sebastian Vettel failing to make the cut. What a mess.
Does anyone actually think missing out on the Third Qualifying Session is some kind of achievement?
No, that’s not it. It's just damage control because they can't break into the front row.
Nothing more, nothing less. No genius strategies, no "faster option" gimmicks. Just that.
Powerless.

Then it’s a gamble, isn't it? Betting everything on a later stint with those soft tires.
So, even the ones starting on soft tires are playing it risky from lap one.
It’s just... gambling with pole position versus gambling with eighth, ninth, or tenth place... those aren't exactly the same thing, are they?

stormybadger8 said:It isn't just a puncture. That tire basically disintegrated after five laps because of massive degradation and a lock-up during braking... which then caused the puncture.
If it's considered "normal" for a tire to explode after five laps just from heavy braking, then we're all screwed.

There's a tiny little difference between driving a fuel-heavy car on worn-out softs versus running a light car on fresh softs.
Besides that, there's zero chance someone pits in the first five laps and manages to come back out ahead of the leaders on mediums (let alone fighting for points). You can, however, pit in the last two or three laps and potentially snatch P1.

The only thing that ruins a strategy on mediums is a rainy start or an SC popping up right before they're scheduled to pit.
But if there's no SC during the race, the guys up front on softs have almost no shot at a podium.
The only real way one of the leaders grabs the win is if the teams orchestrate a teammate's pit stop perfectly to trigger an SC right when it suits them—ideally right after they've finished their final stop.

"Five laps"? ☕

Are we still saying "five laps"? ☕

Tires puncture. Sometimes they just fail for no apparent reason.
What happened to Sebastian Vettel in Dubai back in '11?

stormybadger8 said:Don't go expecting too much. You'll only end up disappointed.☕
Just giving you guys an early heads-up: don't go blaming Fernando Alonso when he fails to crack the top five. It’s not his fault if the weather doesn't cooperate. 😉
You can blame the geniuses at Pirelli and Bernie Ecclestone for that one.🙄

These tires have barely done five laps... and that’s if you count the guy who actually had the guts to push them for five.

Of course, nobody's talking about this. Everyone's too busy listening to British journalists drone on about Red Bull.
So, drivers are driving like complete garbage instead of focusing on their tires. But hey, that’s totally irrelevant, right? Not at all.

I’m not usually one for messages from someone using nothing but emojis, but here’s one for you:
🤦.

That tire is from yesterday, and honestly? It's a punctured tire that Jenson Button managed to make even worse by locking up the wheel.

Samuel Ruiz4 said:Forget about Vettel, Mark Webber, or Jenson Button... they might grab a spot on the podium, but honestly, it’ll probably just be Hamilton and Fernando Alonso swapping places up there. Vettel might manage to snag a spot next to Massa, but let's be real, that's his ceiling...
Red Bull Racing really needs rain to stand a chance, like that crazy result they pulled off in Malaysia. On a dry track? It's either Fernando Alonso or Kimi Räikkönen taking it all

Or maybe what helped Sebastian Vettel pick up points in Dubai and Brazil. An SC.

neonfalcon16 said:Red Bull 🤦 🤦
Some folks might say there was some kind of outside interference at play here. Either way, that qualifying session was a total disaster.

When you fuel up for two other drivers, then head out for two warm-up laps... you're either being incredibly reckless, or you're doing it on purpose.
And with Red Bull, it could easily be either.

stormybadger8 said:Your little darling is going to be singing you a song tomorrow—Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen, and the rest of that pack trailing right behind him after just a few laps.😁
Waiting on that Button train. 😍😁

Ah, Is it just wishful thinking? Perhaps.. 😍

And I just have to wonder... which absolute genius over at McLaren decided it was a brilliant idea to send Jenson Button out on a tourist lap with a 2:05? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Red Bull Racing is probably taking a massive beating right now. McLaren absolutely tore them apart. 🙏

Edward Howard2 said:This could turn into a total disaster if they end up bleeding time stuck behind a button during the race... 🤣

Jenson Button is just too slow. Move him aside. 😂😂😂

Bezze.
