Damn right

[PittsburghTiger 6137]

I too caught Martin’s comment about having a Bier with Max. I think he did qualify it though as Max is quite straightforward.

If they don't want to talk...don't be there.

Hell, they are even obligated to talk as a condition of being gifted the passes. This was clarified after the Serena Williams and Megan Thee Stallion “incidents”.

I generally like Alanis (and she’s a UT grad), but that’s a poor take.

I disagree, because it isn't about someone not talking it's about Brundle being a fucking tit as usual

[utee94 15745]

Eh I like Brundle but if a celebrity doesn't want to talk then he should just move on.  Mainly because I don't give even one half of one shit what any celebrity has to say about... well.... anything.

The gushing interview with Brad Pitt was cool, though.  And that dude who was some sort of British musician who was delighted to talk to Brundle was also cool, too, since it was obvious he knew his Formula 1.

 

[utee94 15745]

Oh and I'm not sure anything will ever top last year's Miami grid walk talk with a Pharrell who was just completely baked.  That was great stuff.

Had to look it up at the time, because he was so nice.

Sam Ryder Robinson (born 25 June 1989) is an English singer, songwriter and social media personality. He rose to prominence in 2020, after posting music covers on TikTok, during the first UK lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Huh. No idea

[Fastbreak 3959]

The first 5 laps were great. The last 47 were blah. I hope there is something done in the off-season to make things a bit more competitive.

As mentioned, there is really no strategy now that matters.

[NoName 16301]

The whole thing is that you are "required" to to be on the grid, right?

What a weak ass response.

[ConferenceRoom 6130]

If you don't want to talk to Martin, I don't want to know you. Except Cara Delevingne. I want to know her. 

[G650 14106]

Lol. I'm pretty down with anyone telling Brundle to piss off.

[ConferenceRoom 6130]

Your aggression and animosity have been noted and have received the appropriate amount of frowning. 

[deft 6800]

I don’t watch any of these shit interviews. I’m watching from the f1tv app and instead get former drivers walking around on the grid talking to actual f1 people.


Edit: still had to listen to dick winters sing some redcoat national anthem tho

[Hawndoh 2382]

I usually watch the replay and just skip to the last car getting into their starting box.

[kevwun 15649]

Yeah, I never watch the pre-race stuff.

[VABuckeye 2472]

I begin when the Rolex hits the top of the hour.

[ConferenceRoom 6130]

I watch to see who hands out the trophies. 

[utee94 15745]

I skip the practices and qualys and the pre-race and the race, and just get straight to the post-race to see who won.

You’re clearly not a true Ferrari fan. If you were, you’d skip the post race too.

i know people don't like Will Buxton but this is 100% spot on. they aren't bringing him back to have some additional time in the AT for next season, putting pressure on Checo and seeing if Danny is cooked or not.

I think they want a benchmark for Yuki. They want to see if he’s worth promoting to the second RB seat next year. If either Yuki or Danny Ric clearly beat the other, I’d say that driver has the inside lane for the second RB seat.   

That and De Vries has been absolute dog shit and never deserved the F1 seat in the first place. Scoring a point at Monza in that Williams really wasn’t that impressive and his junior career was extremely underwhelming. Easily the worst junior career of any F2 winner ever. I mean Latifi got second the year he won F2 and he didn’t beta Latifi by much.

Buxton still sucks ass. He's just stating the obvious.

And the only surprise here is that it took them this long to make the move. Devries has been terrible all season. This just in: FE is in no way a feeder series for F1. My 19 yo predicted this before the season started just based on that alone.

The conditions are totally different. Qualy for the race was in drying conditions, plus cooler track temp, etc.

[wood 11153]

Checo, back in his office ...

[wood 11153]

LMFAO. Toto grasping at any straw he can, trying to keep Andretti out of F1. Such bullshit. Gee, I wonder why it wasn't considered a safety issue just a few years ago when we had 11 or 12 teams on the grid. Remember when F1 gave Haas special conditions to enter F1 - just to keep the grid at 11 teams? Yeah ...

LOL. Such bullshit. Grasping at straws. Gee, I wonder why it wasn't considered a safety issue not that long ago when we had 11 or 12 teams on the grid

Oh, and they race on some of the same tracks as WEC, Spa 24hrs etc. FFS. It's time that the "journalists" in F1 starts pushing back on the absolute BS being thrown around by the TP's.

[Mittens 8156]

As a resident of Danielstan, I find myself more than gruntled at this news.

someone on twitter shared something about COTA being able to host NASCAR and having 39 drivers on the track at once.

[Hawndoh 2382]

Most of those journalists don't want another American team either. They want American money without the Americans.

I'm starting to not like him

Fuuuucccckkk, even F1 knows what pic to throw up first!

 

 

[kevwun 15649]

I would be pretty shocked if Yuki ever ends up in the Red Bull's 2nd seat.  He's closer to not being resigned to AT than he is to being promoted to Red Bull.

Starting? Ha. He talks about the Qualifying format being unsafe with more than 10 teams on ttrack, even though it was introduced with 11 teams and even worked with 12 teams. And still, no F1 journo challenges them on this stuff at all, because they don't want to lose access.

[Hawndoh 2382]

If they could get the cars back down to the sizes they were 10-15 years ago there would be plenty of room for two more teams.

[deft 6800]

That’s what I thought as well. It’s weird how much love there is for yuki all of a sudden. Funny as a personality but I haven’t seen a lot of sustained performance from him.

[kevwun 15649]

He makes lots of unforced errors also.
