While some people are out there celebrating, I gotta say my piece too. 😢 Huge trophy, sure, but thank God things didn't get even worse because that looked seriously nasty. 😢

And honestly, this is exactly why Sergio Perez just can't keep pace with Max Verstappen. That corner is a nightmare—nobody ever manages to pull an outside overtake there without crashing out, unless you count Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas

The exact same thing happened to Perez last year at this very spot when he was battling McLaren Racing. I'm just waiting for everyone to start complaining that Red Bull Racing is throwing Sergio Perez under the bus 😁

James Harris34 said:I seriously can't believe this joke of a driver carries the Schumacher name.

And if you want to talk about "shame," how about a seven-time world champion in a clearly superior car only managing to overtake someone halfway through the race thanks to a massive DRS advantage? How are we supposed to describe a legend with triple-digit wins struggling to keep up with some inexperienced kid at the back of the pack?

Brian Garcia24 said:Oh, so now you're telling ME who I'm rooting for?!🤣
One second it's Red Bull Racing, then suddenly it's Max. Fine, you're the expert, I guess.
Just a bunch of nonsense because you've got zero actual arguments left.😵

Friendly advice—if you actually want to have an objective, real debate, go hit up r/formula1. This isn't the place for these half-baked "arguments" that sound like nothing. Honestly, even my 9-year-old son and his little friends don't make points this weak when they're arguing about stuff.

Brian Perez79 said:I don't remember him complaining about the fans after Silverstone 2021.

Because he didn't. If anything, he praised the crowd, put the heat on Max, was totally stoked about the day, and kept smiling the whole time. He even said they never give up and that's what a winner's mentality looks like.

darkmarlin16 said:Why do some people wear nose rings?

Just people who are insecure and vulnerable, totally terrified of sneezing or sniffing because the government basically brainwashed them into fearing a cold.

Sam Peterson6 said:That’s not quite it, man. If I print those four pieces out and try to cut them up with scissors, there’s zero room left to actually glue them together—I don't know if you catch my drift here
Each image really needs to have that little white paper border (maybe about half an inch) so there's actually some space to stick the next one onto it

Yeah, trim and bleed. I figured the print shop would just handle that part since they're doing the printing, so I didn't bother mentioning it. A 0.2 inch margin on all sides should do the trick.

But honestly, here is a super easy way to do it. Actually, even better—and you'd get a much cleaner result—would be to just print it in two A2 sections instead. Just two halves, then you just butt them together:

Sam Clark75 said:Edit: Plan E!! 😂 😂 😂

Fuel savings, right? They’ll just run on pure battery power—total Tesla style.

Max is basically just kicking a dead horse at this point.

Charles Leclerc just absolutely flew on the straightaways but word on the street is Red Bull is still looking like the fastest and most dominant force out here 😬

Open up Adobe Photoshop 2021 and set your canvas to an A2 size at 300 DPI. Drop that massive photo you've got in there, then split that A2 sheet into four equal quadrants—basically turning it into four A4 sections by cutting it right down the middle both vertically and horizontally.

Take each quadrant and move them one by one into a new A4 file, which is the size you'll actually be printing to piece together later. Just set up four different layers in that A4 PSD and label them clearly so you don't lose your mind, like TL (top left), TR (top right), and so on. Once you're done, just take that A4 PSD to a local print shop. Seriously, it's that simple.

Spot-on breakdown of what went down yesterday and why Lewis Hamilton had to pull off the track:

Just to show how much faster Lewis was trying to go through T6 and T7 in his Q3 attempt compared to his best time in Q2:


So, I’ve been looking into the Hyundai Veloster Turbo's quarter mile times lately. Is it actually any quick? Honestly, for a little hot hatch like this, you gotta wonder if it can really pull its weight on the strip. Does it have enough kick to surprise people at the local drag strip? Let's see what the numbers say!

Man, that speed gap in T6 and T7 compared to your last run is absolutely massive. No wonder the tires just completely died on you!

swiftmaker12 said:Max can only lose the title this year...

Why isn't this like boxing? In boxing, if you lose the belt, you lose the title. But here, Max can just come back and take it again because even if he misses out in 2022, he’s still got that 2021 championship in the bag. It doesn't work the same way!

mellowsurfer14 said:Seriously, what is this? There's a race happening every single week!

Total speed enthusiasts.

cosmicmoose2 said:Did you guys see how Max Verstappen's fans were celebrating when Lewis Hamilton crashed? Man, talk about hating on the English side...

And what were they supposed to do? Just sit there in silence while those English whiners had their little moment? You gotta give as good as you get. Now we’re all just waiting for some dramatic Instagram Story and a massive apology from a totally unhinged mimosa...

Drew Bennett68 said:Mick finally grabs his first points! I’m honestly worried Latifi might miss out on seeing them happen.

Latifi already has 7 points under his belt in Formula 1!

Raymond Anderson4 said:So, what actually went wrong there? Why did it fail so spectacularly?
Man, what a weekend. It didn't go exactly how he planned, but let’s be real—if that SC hadn't happened, he would've cruised to the win. He was absolutely flying out there! His pace was just on another level compared to everyone else. How do you even compete with that?

If that SC hadn't popped up, there wouldn't have been any debris left all over the track. If the track stayed clean, Max wouldn't have trashed his car, and he would've cruised to a victory with a massive gap between him and everyone else. It was a total game changer.

Raymond Anderson4 said:Honestly, everyone there deserved at least a warning shot. Seriously, how was that not enough?

So I caught the second start, and honestly? I thought Sainz went for it. He was driving hard, but he just didn't manage to push Max off the track.
Sainz and Leclerc seriously need a better camera setup. Seriously, how are they supposed to deal with this?

Look, setting that aside—if a driver sees you slip up and uses that opening to start an overtake, and Mick is already mid-move through the final corner on the last lap, you can't just slam the door on them. This isn't some video game, you know?
Max is in that spot, man. He shouldn't have closed him out like that! He could've just squeezed Mick right up against the edge of the track, but nah, he goes straight for the throat. Seriously, don't even try me with that move.
It’s the same old story, isn't it? If Mick had just been a little more aggressive, he would've ended up in a massive wreck.

Hey FIA, why don't you listen up? I've got some thoughts and observations for you. I’m sure you guys couldn't care less what some random forum dweller thinks—honestly, you probably care way more about what your own stewards and the race director have to say!

Lawrence Garcia5 said:So ruggedcyclist56 starts accusing someone of being a Max hater, and then just casually drops a 3 for Ham at Indianapolis Motor Speedway? Are you kidding me?

Haha, alright, that’s another one I’m officially done taking seriously.

Man, you are such a massive Max hater. Honestly, people who spend their lives hating a driver they’ve never even met or seen in person seriously need to go find a therapist. Lewis got exactly what he deserved. He had two wrecked Red Bulls in front of him and a messy Ferrari ahead, plus a golden chance to win on home soil with a car that was actually fast yesterday—yet, as a seven-time world champion, he just couldn't capitalize on it. How does that even happen?

That pretty much sums up his driving abilities, right? If you don't have a car that's at least 0.6s per lap faster than everyone else, you aren't winning. Period. But hey, his time is already in the books, so this was his big chance to finally shine—except he blew it even when everything was lined up perfectly for him (aside from having a dominant car, obviously)... 3 is more than enough.

It’s actually funny how you skipped over a few posts above where I gave him an equally deserved 7 for Canada—and that’s even more than I gave Russell, who is my favorite driver. Honestly, if we were using decimals, he would've earned a 7.7 for that performance in Canada.

Raymond Anderson4 said:Max just does his thing and pushes him right off the track. 🙂

Man, you seriously need to go see an eye doctor 🤣 Look, I get it, you can't stand Max, but this is just pure clown behavior. Honestly, you're acting just like everyone else here who only cheers when something goes wrong for him, calling him "soft" or whatever just because the guy actually dares to talk to his race engineer over the radio.

David Lewis24 said:Once Carlos Sainz Jr. got those team orders, he could've at least tried to hold Lewis back for two or three laps before playing nice.

Lol, seriously? Charles Leclerc spun off the track, which is why Carlos Sainz Jr. ended up in the lead. What speed was he supposed to drop down to at 31 miles/h just to let Charles Leclerc take first place back?

Richard Walker38 said:Honestly, if I were you, I'd just ignore it. That's definitely what I'm gonna do moving forward.

It’s just not worth it.

Totally agree.👍

James Harris34 said:Props to Ferrari for this one. They might have lost the race, but they kept their dignity, and honestly, that's what matters most.

Lol.

James Harris34 said:What a loser this Mick Schumacher is. Seriously, how did he not manage to overtake that idiot in the broken-down car at the end?

dustyridge3 said:Man, those Red Bull drivers are such dirty racers! 🙏

Raymond Anderson4 said:Jesus. It was just car after car out there, and then Max just shoved him right out of the way. It’s the exact same thing he did to Charles Leclerc—if he hadn't pulled that move, Charles would've cruised right past him.

🤣 🤣

Man, Max has clearly done something unforgivable to some people in this group. I find that whole "dirty drivers" comment especially hilarious—especially since their absolute favorite driver is basically a walking hazard who spends half his time sending people straight into the guardrails and the hospital. 👍

Raymond Anderson4 said:So, Max isn't even getting a five-second penalty for clearly shoving that car right off the track? Seriously? 🤣
With Charles Leclerc and Mick Schumacher, he didn't even have a racing line—he was just going wide on purpose!
What a terrible driver.

Man, it's just too cute to read! 😍

Man, the way they're freaking out over Hamilton is just too much 🤣

So, the "honorable" Ferrari crew won't even let Sainz overtake Leclerc 😬

Douglas Roberts49 said:Man, look at Carlos Sainz trying to slow him down lol

What kind of clowns even drive F1?

Total amateurs, the lot of them.

And you? Aside from the fact that you aren't out there racing in F1 with them, you're just whining because they're whining. A little weird, but whatever, go off I guess.
