Honestly, the bar doesn't even need to stress about when they drop the ads—it's all the same to them anyway, isn't it?

shadowhawk24 said:Give me a break. How exactly does this diminish the championship title? Sure, maybe it takes a little bite out of the pride of the rival fanbases, but let’s get one thing straight: Formula 1 is a team sport. Period. To win a championship, you need every single component of the car to be flawless, and more importantly, you need every single person behind the scenes developing that machine to be on point. It isn't just about the driver; it's about the entire organization. If you don't get that, you don't get the trophy. Simple as that.
So, what exactly is Vettel supposed to say to Newey now? "Look, old man, stop wasting your time refining this car. Just crank up the speed so I can win some amateur dirt track race and have every single fan on the planet validate me as the 'real' champion." Please. Give me a break.
Ever since Formula 1 first kicked off, there’s been this endless, exhausting debate over who actually deserves the title of the greatest driver on the grid. It’s always the same tired arguments—people bickering about who’s a "real" champion and who just got lucky with a faster car. Honestly, it’s been happening since day one, and frankly, it's never going to change.
Look, let’s get one thing straight: the person who racks up the most points by the end of the season is the champion. Period. They earned it, they deserve the title, and their name gets etched into the history books. All that noise about "moral victories" and "what could have been"? It’s a joke. People talk about those things for a season or two, maybe, but then it all just evaporates. In the end, nobody gives a damn about the runner-up or the guy who played it clean but lost. History only remembers the winners and the champions. Everything else is just white noise.
Let’s get one thing straight: I am not some obsessive Vettel fanboy. Far from it. If I had to pick between him and Alonso, Alonso wins my vote every single time. But honestly? Watching this constant, relentless badgering of the kid is getting incredibly grating. It’s genuinely irritating to see people constantly picking at a guy who managed to clinch three consecutive world championships as the youngest driver ever to pull it off. Just let it go already.
Sure, in my opinion, they’ve got the fastest car on the grid right now. But let's be real—doesn't everyone start the season with the exact same theoretical opportunity to build a championship winner? It's all well and good to claim you've cracked the code, but we'll see how that holds up once the real pressure starts.
Honestly, comparing that Felicia Cup nonsense to Bembur is like trying to enter a Formula 1 car into a local go-kart race. It’s just fundamentally absurd.

Look, I'm not gonna quote the whole damn thing...

Sure, everyone gets a shot at designing a top-tier machine, but—and here's the kicker—not everyone actually gets to sit behind the wheel of one. That's the whole point.

Alright, look—tbf, the video quality is absolute garbage, but if you squint at the 21-22 second mark right when Alonso hits the corner, you can already tell the DRS wasn't even working yet. We seriously need to get this sorted out. 😉

You.🤷

Was the gap more than a second?
Are you absolutely certain they were overtaking under yellow flags?
Drop a link, a photo, or a video somewhere.🍿

I can pull up a picture of Alonso hitting his DRS while trailing by like 3 seconds in a heartbeat if needed...

Besides, it’s a shame they didn't get hit with penalties, because Vettel would've pulled ahead in the standings if they had.😍🤣

Come on, man—I already showed you in that link I sent that the DRS isn't even closed while he's sitting right behind Rosberg.

See, this is exactly what I was rambling about—if you look at the very last second, you can see the rear wing is wide open when it should've been closed for a good while already. So, yeah, there’s absolutely no way there wasn't someone sitting right in front of Alonso when he hit that DRS button ☕

stormybadger8 said:Of course there won't be a penalty for turning it on, because why would there be?🙄
He triggered the DRS when Vettel was the only one ahead by about three seconds...
Fine. If the FIA won't hand out a penalty, God will.☕

Personally, I think he just used the DRS on the straight while pulling past Rosberg—he used it to get the move done, and then it cut out halfway down the stretch before kicking back in once Rosberg reclaimed his spot a lap later.
I don't know if that makes sense or not, but if anyone can actually go back and watch that Alonso overtake on Rosberg, maybe they'll see why it looks like he pulled it behind Vettel, when really he just couldn't get it to stay on.

Pure bliss? Seriously? How does Mark lose two spots in half a lap? 🤣

Those absolute trash tires on Alonso

And even without the drama, the maestro is at it again 🙏 🙏 🙏

Fernando pushing through those bends while running wide open DRS 😁

Looks like every single Ferrari fan in the country is camping out on the replies today—so yeah, I figured I’d jump in on this bandwagon too 😁

And now... let's get this show on the road!

McLaren 🤣🤣

maestro 🙏 🙏

this damn thing just won't quit 😢

The maestro and Hamilton are absolutely shredding two seconds off the McLaren's lap time

Just your typical Red Bull masterclass at the start, leaving Mercedes to hit the limiter the second they hit the first DRS zone ☕

Ferrari sitting in P2 👍

Both Williams cars clocked identical times 😲

Hamilton just had a tire blowout out of nowhere—completely out of left field 🤦

stormybadger8 said:Fear?🤣
Look, Amanda Kelly, personally I never actually bought into the idea of Vettel winning a title this season—not even back in 2011 literal.🤣
It’s honestly hilarious watching Ferrari actually have a great car and seeing you all finally agree it isn't a complete piece of junk, yet somehow I know by the end of the season everyone will be scrambling to invent excuses for why things didn't work out anyway...😁

I don't know how you aren't bored to death yet,🤷

either put some money on it in your profile if you're so sure, or just admit you're just trolling? 🙂
