And even when Williams brought in hydraulics, everyone else stuck with the standard ones because they were 100% reliable (though I don't recall a single time where Williams was left hanging in mid-air or sitting on the ground when they shouldn't have been).

I’m talking about the joint that allows the mechanic to step away from the car while it's still elevated, letting them pull the jack away without having to scramble out of the way first.😉

With the Williams hydraulic jacks, the front mechanic wasn't supposed to stand directly in front of the car during the descent either; they stayed to the side.😉

So, this Ferrari solution follows the Williams blueprint, with one major catch: the actual lifting is still left to the mechanics' muscles, since machine-assisted lifting is strictly against the rules.

redheron12 said:If things stay this way—with Lewis and Button just pulling away in the standings—they’re basically widening their lead, right? It feels a bit strange to see them winning while the rest of the competition is busy tearing each other apart 👋👋👋

Of course they do. 👋

Jason Campbell70. 😁 😎

mistybear87 said:Did anyone else catch those Ferrari cranes? They’ve actually got this clever little mechanism where the "operator" can just step aside, so the driver isn't stuck sitting there waiting for them to clear out...🙏

Of course. It happened right when they banned the hydraulics. 😁

So, what exactly has Williams brought to the table lately? With that stunning—yet surprisingly unsuccessful—setup they've introduced? 👋FW26?

Michael Lee4 said:Who’s the handsome one here?

A total icon... a world champion.

I’m fully expecting that car to go into pieces by the end of the Parabolika. 🙏

Michael Lee4 said:this is ridiculous 🤣

Ahahaha, the crying has officially started 🍿

What a joke.

If you're actually faster, just overtake him, Fernando. 🙄

Jason Campbell70 said:Good Boy Felipe is just one step away from bursting into tears. 🙏 😁

But hey, what happened, happened—he played fair.

A double victory beats a collision between teammates any day. 😁

Michael Lee4 said:Look at those pathetic teams... everyone’s hitting a wall, but nobody’s actually celebrating... just sour looks and fake smiles like a bad political press conference. 🙂

Good Boy Felipe is just one step away from bursting into tears. 🙏 😁

slybison8 said:Especially when talking about McLaren and their idea of being "subtle"—kind of like what happened during that summer back in 2007... 🍿🙂

Think back to 2008, at this very same track. 😉

Betty Moore34 said:And why on earth wouldn't Massa have a chance in this race? The man finally delivered a legitimate result during qualifying, so why shouldn't he go after Alonso?
Don't let Massa catch you off guard today.😉

If it starts raining, he might have a chance... to pull off a perfect pirouette.

redheron12 said:kajgod pila, I honestly think McLaren just used this to settle their internal hierarchy once and for all. You can't have drivers tearing each other apart on track like we saw at Red Bull, and you can't explicitly order Lewis to let someone pass at the finish line like they do at Ferrari—but you can always "accidentally" forget a wheel nut cover and let the natural order restore itself within the team.

I don't know if you've noticed, but since then, Button has been consistently slower—almost as if his car isn't right—and his attitude has become much more subdued. Meanwhile, Lewis seems absolutely bursting with confidence, driving the best car he's ever had. It reminds me a bit of listening to Kovalainen 😁

You managed to pack some pretty sneaky favoritism for Kovalainen and McLaren into a single post.

Those three things just don't go together. 😁

McLaren handles these situations in much more subtle, simpler ways anyway. And in any case, it's more efficient for the crew. Not necessarily a bad thing; quite the opposite, actually.

As for the British media? Don't you think they'd much rather have a handsome, tall, polished English gentleman as their champion than some rough-around-the-edges guy? 😁



Just look at him. 😳😁

redheron12 said:Do you honestly believe a mechanic would just forget something like that? 🤣

Of course not.

It's clearly a deep-state conspiracy against the McLaren crew, backed by those lifelong haters of everything McLaren and even the leadership over at Vatican City.

Red Bull gets almost everything wrong, but they aren't capable of this kind of stupidity.

For now. 🙏

redheron12 said:Don't tease me—I'm telling you, qualifying pace doesn't mean much here. McLaren always seemed to lag behind during qualifying, yet they were consistently faster during the actual race, often going toe-to-toe with Red Bull. We'll just have to wait and see tomorrow, though one thing is certain: one of those Red Bull drivers is bound to shoot themselves in the foot.

Which team is currently dealing with mechanics forgetting to pull the intake cover right before the start, forcing their poor driver to retire by lap two? 😁

Red Bull?

stormybadger8 said:Exactly. Next season, somehow, that 13th team is going to become the next big thing on LinkedIn. Their car—code-named X1—will be the fastest thing on the track. Meanwhile, the rest of the grid will be lagging seven or eight seconds behind in qualifying. We might even see races where McLaren and Ferrari can't even show up because of the 107% rule.🤣

LinkedIn, you hit the nail on the head. 🙏

Team motto? Just crush the competition. 🙏

wearypanther34 said:Honestly, looking back at the last two Grands Prix, Fernando should have easily secured 3rd and 4th place if it hadn't been for all that manipulation going on behind the scenes.

Those English bandits...🙂

You really remind me of Mamić.😁🙏Given these kinds of statements?

One Grand Prix, one nation, one grand winner.

Maria Nelson2 said:Jenson Button shoved Mark Webber right into Felipe Massa, which ended up sending him straight into the back of Fernando Alonso's car. 😲

It’s just one thing after another—first you see Alonso jump ahead of Vettel, then Hamilton manages to leapfrog both of them, and before you know it, Kubica is left struggling with a dying Renault engine. At this rate, we won't see a Williams win again until somewhere around the year 3700. 😬)

😲

Not quite.

wearypanther34 said:Ferrari 🙏, this marks their third solid performance in a row, so let's just hope nobody tries to pull a fast one on them again

Fernando looks like he's in peak form all weekend, and honestly, this could very well be his race to win

It was about time Felipe Massa stepped it up

🙏🙏🙏

stormybadger8 said:Blown Away difusor by McLaren🤣

How can we even expect a car labeled "Failed Italian Automotive Technology" to actually make it to the finish line tomorrow? 🙏

And that's with two more left to go.

Something has to break.

Plus, if they were still putting things together on Friday... brrrrr.🙂

Maria Nelson2 said:Red Bull 😬

That’s the bottom line. 🙂 🙏Exactly.
