Formula 1 2022

It’s mad how Monaco is such a thing. Dullest race weekend in the calendar.

Great piss up though.

It's comes across as party weekend for the drivers and teams and the race is ceremonial.

If they can't adapt the course to make it exciting it should be dropped.

That's exactly what it is. Hence why their race weekend runs Thursday, Saturday, Sunday rather than starting on the Friday like everywhere else. Thursday night is the big party night with all the sponsors and everyone being on the piss!

May as well lump in Mercedes as a team tainted forever then.

Mercedes and Pirelli guilty of tyre test rules infringement | Autocar

Mercedes banned from taking part in young driver test next month as punishment

That was a black and white situation not like with Red Bull so you could argue that Merc are worse.

2013, fuck me. Even United were relevant then.

Not laughed like that watching tv for a while.

It got me off the couch fucking fist pumping.

Hate the cheating Karen fuckers with a passion.

You seem to get worked up about the most trivial of things but the serious issues not so much.

Odd.

Odd is that statement on a F1 thread in off topic lol?

Anyone but those cûnts.

Odd.

Because the issues aren't actually important outside a tiny minority of pontificating, authoritarian ideologues.

All joking aside here. An outstanding team all round but a bigger set of cunts you will be hard pressed to find in sport.

Did Gerri send you that pic ;-)

A couple of red flags in F2 qualifying.

Hope that isn't an omen.

Just tuned in for the last few minutes. That Drugovich lap had shades of the bonkers Verstappen lap from last year's F1 qualifying. Very close to the walls in places. (But not into the walls!)

Cool seeing the backfires from the exhaust on the F2 cars lighting up the rear of the car in the 'dark' as well.

Remarkable that the event is still going ahead, even if it is declared safe.

Shows what a disgrace it is theyre racing there when the worry isnt just about getting blown but also if the saudis will let you leave if you dont race.
