Is it just me, or is there zero Blazic at the Ardennes!?

God, what a breath of fresh air.

Thank you, God. Seriously, thank you.

it was an absolute disaster in Mexico. Between those qualifying errors and the mistakes made during the race itself, one has to wonder what went wrong.👎

it's obvious they don't know how to actually race.

Holy crap—Buemi is hands down the greatest talent of the 21st century!

live from Mexico — race just kicked off

What a messy, unorganized copy-paste job

Thanks for respecting the forum and its readers—not.

ruggedhawk20 said:basically, this is just enough nonsense to make the suckers swallow the whole story—along with the boss.

If they’d been faster, everyone would've seen through them immediately.

But nope, only the "experts" caught on this time.

Watch out if this crew here;

1) Presvetl
2) The only living witness
3) The toughest guy from the Midwest

says Ferrari's speed is unreal—then you know it actually means something.

Right!?

We should probably add one more to the list:

4) This guy from the suburbs—the highly esteemed Takaj Vidimise.

So, look, if four forum titans say Ferrari is bluffing, then it's gotta be true, right?

Except it's not. Some people still choose to believe a guy with Rosberg's dad as his avatar.

graniteharbor502 said:I'm with you on that—but if they could've pushed harder, why didn't they? 🍿
I mean, we see the data, and obviously the people in Formula 1 see it too. There's really no point in sweating the fastest lap during testing just for the sake of it.

Because this is exactly the amount of speed needed to let the suckers believe the hype. And the bosses right along with them.

If they had gone any faster, everyone would've seen through the act immediately.

As it stands, only the real experts have caught onto them.

Watch out when this crew starts talking;

1) Ruggedhawk20
2) The only living witness
3) The toughest guy in the Midwest

says Ferrari's speed is unreal—then you know it actually means something.

Right!?

graniteharbor502 said:Purple sector = fastest sector of the day

Even Manor Oli could grab a fastest sector

Look, Oli—you clearly don't get that during testing they can basically cheat with

1) way more fuel flow than what's actually allowed

2) running a car lighter than the legal minimum weight

3) using illegal tech inside the Power Unit

etc etc...

As far as I know, there's no FIA scrutineering or technical inspections during practice sessions

so you can drive whatever kind of monster you want.

Who knows what Ferrari was actually running!?

graniteharbor502 said:They were weirdly skipping laps in the Ford garage back when they were running Ultrasoft—even though they were absolutely crushing it with purple sectors in the first two parts of the track...

I have zero clue what a "purple sector" even is. I don't get the colors or how modern Formula 1 works at all.

But hey—I definitely understand manipulation. Especially when it comes to messing with colors and timing.

graniteharbor502 said:Why would they even care about setting a fast lap during testing? 🤷

1) so we can actually talk about them right now

2) so they can get two weeks of peace before the boss starts handing out pink slips

3) to bait some other clueless sponsor

graniteharbor502 said:Yeah, totally—Ferrari's basically broke and desperate for sponsors. 👏

Nice explanation from our one living witness here. It’s all just a big show for Ennio Morricone—or whatever you call that boss at Ferrari everyone's terrified of.

If you don't buy my crap, at least believe him.

Prost.

Preseason testing.

Back in 2001

You are a total disaster.

Look, let me save you from the embarrassment—I’ll give you some pointers on how to actually troll properly. Only $50 an hour plus tax.

Give me a break.

I haven't been keeping up with F1 lately, so I'm out of the loop.

And honestly—I'm too lazy to go looking for it myself.

Which team is Kevin Magnussen driving for now?

Which team is Kevin Magnussen driving for?

graniteharbor502 said:I'm expecting Ferrari to be right up front in Melbourne

Talk about delusional optimism.

jadeseal7 said:man, all this stuff you're talking about happens in every other sport too. Just look at football—how many people root for Lionel Messi versus how many for Ronald, or how much they backed Barcelona before Messi showed up vs. Real Madrid before Ronald, and so on.

I don't see any issue with who supports who—look at Jason Campbell70 over here, he's a huge Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari fan, even has Vettel's logo on his avatar. It’s just one guy who, if Vettel and Hamilton were fighting for a title, wouldn't even know which 😁

But hey, the more drama, the better 🎉

Football again.

And then when I say the biggest problem is the "footballization" of Formula 1, suddenly I'm wrong.

You and everyone else like you brought that football mentality into Formula 1 and absolutely trashed it.

I'm telling you—the Halo cockpit is what's shaving half a second off the lap time. That's why Kimi is so fast.

Use some logic here. Is it more likely that Kimi just magically got half a second faster overnight, or that the Halo cockpit actually gave the car a massive boost?

So you're telling me a car with a Halo is actually faster than one without it. Great.

Timothy Castillo6 said:Is it better to just let the halo snap and take someone's head off—joke, obviously—or actually design some dome cooling? If it’s even doable or necessary, we have the tech now... It’s definitely an issue though. I can pull this off in IndyCar, so why not here?

Are you seriously out here calling for AC in Formula 1 cars?

LMP1 cars in IMSA have AC. They even have rules about minimum cockpit temps.
