I think next year instead of 2 mandatory pit stops to keep Monaco interesting they should have a troll in the tunnel who requires them to stop and answer a riddle
The FIA and race control are such a consistently negligent entities. The last fatality in f1 was because there was a truck lifting a crashed car on a wet track. And yet here we are years later with the benefit of hindsight with marshals and trucks on a wet track with freshly painted lines and the drivers are going around instead of red flagging the race for a couple of minutes. It's genuinely astounding.
If you missed practice, don't worry, so did the drivers. 40 minutes of the session was red flagged, first for 2 crashes and then the track spontaneously combusted in a biblical blaze for no reason like the old testament warned me about
Im fucking DRY HEAVING at the energy Nico brought to the paddock this week, he's airing everyones business. First it was "Flavio's ugly ass invited me to his fuckass room for negotiations" and then he LITERALLY JUST SAW JAMES VOWELS AND WENT "I call you Vowels bc u called me Rosberg when were teammates... how shockingly impersonal is that u fucking rat ???? [takes deep breath for terrifyingly detailed analysis] [James tries to defend himself] "yes BUT I was sitting at your table??? I was yOuR fRiEnD aNd tEaMmAteπ€¨"
at this point i think they should just start a rotation for the second red bull seat. kind of like the f1 academy wild card except it's literally whoever. reserve drivers, f2 drivers, retired drivers, pundits, mechanics, race engineers, team principals, random celebrities. you can win a free practice sesh in the second red bull seat in fan giveaways. let's just have fun with it
the only person who had a worse race than ferrari was oscar piastri β and when the leaderboard listed him as 'out', he reversed out of the grass and got back on track. he was not going to DNF at his home race without the stewards physically wrenching a front axle from his hands.
oscar piastri is a goddamn phoenix, and he will rise again and again and again. i love charles, and he is il predestinato - but oscar being a champion is not even predestined. it's literally inevitable.
seb doesnβt rock up to suzuka for the first time in like two decades and the track literally bursts into flames
