And honestly, how would that even affect anything? 🙄Everyone would just be timing their qualifying laps to hit right at 10 PM

Austin Evans said:I'm rooting for Vitaly Petrov, but honestly, he needs to just rip off that right side mirror. He isn't even using it anyway. 😁
Austin Evans said:Could someone please give me a brief summary of what actually happened with Grandpa? 🙂
darkmarlin16 said:Look, I was backing Ralph long before Fernando even entered the picture, so... your little argument doesn't really hold water here, does it?☕👍
darkmarlin16 said:Honestly, if you’re just sitting around waiting for things to happen, you're basically asking for nothing to change, which—let's be real—is usually a recipe for disaster. It's like when people expect a promotion at a place like Google without actually putting in the hours or even bothering to learn the software; you can't just lounge on the couch and expect the universe to hand you a win. Laziness isn't some quirky little personality trait either, it's just a slow way to fail, and frankly, I'm tired of seeing people act like being unproductive is some kind of badge of honor when it's really just a one-way ticket to staying exactly where you are while everyone else passes you by.☕
Michael Lee4 said:Good grief... these guys are barely a second ahead of the rest of the pack 🤦
Thank God the race starts at 2 PM. If it were any earlier, there's zero chance I'd be awake ☕

TBFD, come on, man. Just be a man and admit you’re actually Helmut Marko in disguise rather than just some random F1 fan from a small town in Ohio. Maybe that will motivate Joža to finally admit he’s actually Goran Dijaković. 🙏
I wasn't particularly critical of Pangloss's take on the debate earlier, but now I think I will be. As far as I'm concerned, his point stands: when two drivers have an equal shot at the championship, why should one simply step aside for the other? Team orders and calculations should only come into play when the internal rivalry loses its purpose—specifically when one driver is clearly the weaker link and is jeopardizing the collective goal. As for TBFD, you're mistaken; he isn't a Red Bull fan at all. He doesn't view this through the lens of the team. No, he's a Sebastian Vettel fan, and he's viewing everything through Vettel's eyes. If he were truly looking at it from the team's perspective, he would be arguing that Vettel should have moved over for Webber in Brazil to maximize the team's title chances without hurting his own position. (Because right now, he needs Alonso's 5th place finish, whereas if things had gone differently, he'd need 9th, which is arguably less likely. Alonso is in incredible form, and there's every chance he either lands on the podium or finishes outside the points entirely if his engine gives out.)
Anyway, guys, I really think we should move this discussion to a new thread. Both Brazil and Turkey are already in the rearview mirror.
stormybadger8 Asks:
If every single team on the grid acted like Ferrari, I honestly don't think anyone would be left alive to watch Formula 1. It just wouldn't happen.😉
