Hey there, folks. 🙏🙏🙏

It's just like How Roschoke, just like Lewis Hamilton.

Anyway, at least at Spa, one pole position doesn't make all the difference.

darkmarlin16 said:Starting from P2 in Belgium offers some clear advantages.

If you nail the turn at Talladega Superspeedway you can easily slip past whoever is leading on the Kentucky straight.

Focus on what I put in bold.
And it isn't just about Talladega Superspeedway; you have to navigate The Source properly first.
With 20 cars breathing down your neck in such tight quarters.

darkmarlin16 said:It seems you missed last year's race when Sebastian Vettel pulled that exact same move on Lewis Hamilton.

True, except in that case, Lewis Hamilton completely botched his exit through Talladega Superspeedway.

graniteharbor502 said:I wouldn't rule that out either. But if what Sebastian Vettel said during the post-qualifying press conference was actually true, then neither the Australian nor the German really missed the mark:

Given you're talking about an "Australian who didn't miss the mark too badly," it seems like you missed the final part of qualifying entirely.

Speaking of cars, I saw a Manhattan ride yesterday. Red body, black roof, halogen lights.

A little flashy, sure, but nothing too over-the-top.

Immediately made me think of you. 🙂

Back to the topic at hand—Sebastian Vettel was a fraud. ☕

stormybadger8 said:Where on earth did you see that? 🤷
Alonso's spin wasn't even shown on the broadcast; they just mentioned it, and the LT feed said he went off at Eau Rouge...

Someone actually posted an on-board clip of Alonso's spin coming out of Eau Rouge in an F1 live chat.
It wasn't anything major—just a little wide exiting the corner. Certainly nothing compared to what happened with Richard, who came incredibly close to slamming right into the barrier.

So, you claim you didn't see it, yet you keep bringing it up in multiple posts and drawing conclusions from it? Fine, if you say so.

BDV—looks like we're in for a pretty dry race. 👋

Those Italian slobs. 🙏🙏🙏

Red Bull Foundation. ☕

Karma always finds its way back, just a bunch of Swedish, Finnish, German, and Monégasque scammers. ☕

🙂

stormybadger8 said:Right, and I suppose we should just ignore how Alonso went flying off track at Eau Rouge? 😍

From what I could see and gauge, he lost less time there than Richard did when he ran wide at Blanchimont.

stormybadger8 said:And what about the fact that despite running wide, Ric managed to set his fastest time in that sector on that exact lap? 😁

Basic logic would suggest he might have been even faster if he hadn't gone off. 🤷

stormybadger8 said:Of course he wasn't messing around in the Third Quarter...
But look at the Third Quarter—everyone was flying off the track at sixteen, whereas we didn't see those kinds of excursions during the Second Quarter. Isn't that makes the times in the Second Quarter a much better indicator than what we saw in the Third Quarter?

Maybe we should just look at the Practice sessions instead. That's where they actually had enough opportunities to nail a perfect lap, right?

stormybadger8 said:Exactly. That’s precisely why Ferrari spent practically the entire weekend sitting right on the tail of the Mercedes-Benz, holding onto that No. 3 spot...That’s exactly why the Second Quarter matters most—it's when you really have to push until the very end. Could Ferrari have even made it into the Third Quarter? They were sitting less than two seconds behind the Mercedes-Benz, somehow clawing their way into the No. 3 and No. 5 spots. Honestly, it was a miracle. Besides Bottas, who actually managed to stay within striking distance, everyone else seemed to be lagging more than half a second behind the red cars.

So, they push it to the limit in the Second Quarter, only to start messing around on the track during the Third Quarter?

Like I said:

Jason Campbell70 Asks:
If Richard hadn't made that mistake right after Blanchimont, wouldn't he have cruised straight into third place?

And that, too... freezing.

How many times this season has he resorted to playing dirty? 🤮

wiredscout14 said:Did you catch the Practice sessions? 🙂

Did you see the Third Quarter? ☕

Ford 🙏🙏🙏

stormybadger8 said:Are you really certain they’ll even validate those times achieved through cheating? 🤷
It's entirely possible they end up scrubbing the final lap times for both Ricco and Alons...

I wouldn't be surprised, especially when it comes to Richard.
If they start deleting times, who would actually stay in the top 10?
Starting with Rosbergadrag.

Why Richard?
Because without that mistake after Blanchimont, Ricardo would have cruised right into third place.
As it stands, he leveled the playing field himself.

The maestro pulled ahead of that Finnish fraud by a split second.

mellowtiger83 said:Ten degrees Celsius. A bit chilly, isn't it?

Like I said, it's going to happen. Graining. Still an issue? A total disaster.
Why bother with shovels when you could just bring in the excavators?

mellowtiger83 Asks:
All that whining about the rain... it reminds me so much of prost. 🙂

Prost knew better than to park right next to the track; he wasn't about to take that kind of risk.
There was always someone willing to take the risk.

So, FP3. The maestro and that Finnish fraud—identical times, down to the thousandth. Seriously?
During the first two practice sessions, the maestro routinely outclassed Shellov’s driver. Just a complete masterclass.

stormybadger8 said:Formula 1 used to have actual fans...
now it’s just kids whining about every little thing and some crazy old man in charge trying to please those same kids with whatever nonsense pops into his head...

It all starts with the drivers.
Nowadays, their biggest priority is crying over radio messages.
If even a tiny drop of rain hits the visor, they immediately start panicking to the pit wall about how the track is flooded, how the car is undrivable, and why on earth Charlie isn't throwing out an SC yet.

Speaking of the weekend, specifically the race—I'm looking at the forecast for the US Grand Prix. It's the usual unpredictable weather, high chance of rain.

And they're only calling for a max air temperature of 59 degrees.
So—expect plenty of graining... we might very well see a chaotic finish, similar to what happened in Canada.

It used to be, my dear darkmarlin16, it really used to be.
