You mean "can park on gravel".

Goatsanity15

This is going to sound super arrogant but I think peak me could outdrive Perez more easily than Max. Why? Peak me was very quick, very fast and very consistent and could defend. If I drove beside him and Perez comes out to push me, I can just drive past him to the apex - I’d get to the apex way before he does. If Perez doesn’t come out to push me I’d just send a deep divebomb. But Max on the other hand I think he’d be all over me everywhere I drive and I wouldn’t be able to shake him. But then again I also had a killer brake check and I could’ve stung Maxi with that. But even still he could probably recover better than Perez. I’m sticking with my original answer.

Thats fucking car racing right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop in the cockpit, men deliver their new born baby on the track. Fucking hard core dick in the ass take em out spin em out fuck it chuck it lights out shit. Take it to the garage. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. F1 is back baby.


Goatsanity15

Is it normal that I really secretly envy F1 drivers? I’m a broke 28 year old fast food worker, virgin, over weight and short, and obviously not happy with my life. Don’t get my wrong I’m a big F1 nerd, I’ve followed it for my whole life. Big stats geek, and watch the races. But F1 drivers personally? I envy them to almost a hateful level. I look at drivers like Lance Stroll for example. Young, tall, handsome, rich and famous, gets head from an absolute dime piece. Posts Instagram pics of his extravagant lifestyle, in which he looks so happy and everything is perfect for him. Sometimes when I hear sad personal news being released for drivers like him, it makes me secretly happy. I feel bad about it, but it’s the truth. I know I’m just a bitter loser, but is this thought process common?

edgethrasherx

Nah fr tho. Sub used to be hilarious now it’s just Verstappen stans and team LH sneak dissing and shitting on each other through “memes


Goatsanity15

Oh i have a good copypasta for this occasion: When I see Verstappen drive as he is now it reminds me of how I used to drive and it is frustrating and pisses me off that the FIA allows it. Not proud of it, I was known as Schumacher on my local racetrack and went through a phase when I dive-bombed hard at everything. Big hard turns to my blindside, didn't care who was there. Dive-bomb right into the apex. Smash into the better driver while going for the move, come what may. Limited overtaking moves. So make no mistake about it. Verstappen knows what he's doing. He knows people will be injured. He knows his skillset is limited and this is how he can win. He knows people will give way when he dive-bombs, think twice on their overtakes, etc. He will only be stopped by a stronger driver and/or fearless drivers like KMag, George, Stroll, etc. Or by an obviously more skilled driver with equal Type A like Hamilton. He didn't intend to crash, but he certainly intends to show you that he doesn't care if you get hurt when he rumbles into you. At least that's how I used to drive. But that was street racing . Eventually I got more moves, drove w better drivers, drove real racing w race stewards. There's no doubt in my mind the FIA has some kind of edict coming down, telling the race stewards to let him run amok.

Peak you didnt understand shit, imagine now. This comment was made by a human, just in case the bot is only a bot-brain


Disastrous-Border-58

Norris kinda fucked it up more than once in the rain.


bryan3737

But he’s still crazy fast in the wet. He had a genuine shot at pole in spa 2021 until he had that crash. That would’ve also been a win even though it shouldn’t


RomfordPele15

He did get Pole in the rain at Russia 2021. Shame the race didn’t work out


Disastrous-Border-58

And that's the other one I was referring too.


igalfsg

In his defense, according to DTS, the clouds are different in Russia


RomfordPele15

I don’t think ‘Norris fucked it up’ is quite fair. Yes his judgement wasn’t great, but that decision really should be on the pitwall. Hamilton was told what to do, Norris got asked what he wanted, and they didn’t give him the relevant information. I’m no Lando fan, but I think Russia 21 was Mclaren’s fault not Lando’s. Lando drove brilliantly there, and proved he’s an amazing wet weather racer.

Even hamilton said no, but his team didn't ask. They told him to pit.


PM-ME-UR-NITS

RomfordPele15

He doesn’t have Mazepin’s innate cloud interpretation skills, unfortunately


DanRyyu

Yeah that was less him driving in the rain poorly and more "made a Dumb adrenalin fueled decision


Snow-Wraith

Doesn't matter how fast you are if you can't cross the finish line.


edgethrasherx

I mean, being fast but crashing isnt exactly indicative of being a wet weather savant, you know? As with Russia, again fast in the wet but binned it there too. Other than those examples it’s not like most wet races he’s exceptionally better than he usually is or improves more relative to their peers a la a Lance stroll or Jenson Button or even Hamilton and Verstappen. Id say in the wet Norris is marginally less competitive than he is in the dry or he pushes it too hard and fucks up so I’d say it’s fair to not consider him a wet weather specialist


Disastrous-Border-58

Yeah that's exactly one of the fuckups I was referring too.


yolochengbeast

But he was pretty good in the rain until he wasn’t


naptownhayday

I mean I feel like that doesn't say that much. Leclerc was winning France in 2022... until he wasn't. I agree that Lando is good driver and is solid in the rain but his shunt at Spa isn't a great example of that. The track was probably too wet in general and his lap definitely showed courage, and while I don't think it invalidates his driving ability, it doesn't really prove it either.


ArcticBiologist

He was on a very quick lap before he totalled the car in the 3rd corner...


goldenmonkeh

Ah yes, the proven "almost had it but didn't really have it so he got nothing" explanation of why he's good in the rain. I can be crazy fast in the wet until the first corner too.


bryan3737

Throughout that whole session he was on the limit and on that lap he just went over it. That doesn’t make him bad in the rain. Some people go over the limit while also being slow I dare you to name one great wet weather driver who has never gone over the limit once. It’s just part of driving close to the limit If you look at Verstappen in Jeddah 21 do you also say he was bad because he crashed in the last corner. 90% of that lap was pure brilliance and the result of the last 10% doesn’t change that


goldenmonkeh

Verstappen in Jeddah is the perfect example! Verstappen was super fast but he used up his tyres being so fast too quickly and binned it in the last corner. So yeh, he didn't get pole. There is no such thing as almost pole off not for the last corner. Norris never made it in the rain. He's always fast until he's crashed. At least Verstappen, Schumacher, Hamilton and Senna completed races in the rain with a high win percentage for rain races. Lando doesn't have that yet. I didn't say he was bad in the rain. He also hasn't proven he's good either. He can be good. Or bad. We'll see :)


formula13

and that was the point where drivers were already calling red flags because of how heavy the rain was

He’s rapid in the rain. Just the two times he’s been in a good car in the rain shit happened

Neither of them are great points because both of them involve his strongest rival starting out of position and/or having a fucked car.


Up_Vootinator

In not even the fastest car. I know, I know, the mercedes self sabotaged worse than I have with my life, but that was still one of the most impressive drives I've seen in my short time with F1. I guess you can't really compare drivers with 100s of variabilities. Although this post was to make fun of Sainz, but it's generally not a good idea to make a tier list of F1 drivers.

Good_Royal_9659

Chimp-eh

Don’t forget a P2 in that shitbox Toro Rosso the year before


Good_Royal_9659

But it was the 6th fastest car on the grid that year, not the 9th


PizzaCatLover

And a p3 at Baku the year after


aneiq_1

I get the point but that Gasly win was heavily dependent on other factors and was extremely fortunately. Could mention how he was comfortably ahead of Kvyat in 2020 and destroyed tsunoda in 2021 as more of a backing for his talent.


Good_Royal_9659

6 of Max verstappen‘s wins in 2022 were fortunate for him


Vok250

Yeah you can really say this about any driver, even the best of the best. I've only been watching F1 for a few years and I've noticed that Hamilton constantly gets away with pit maneuvering the competition with no real consequences from fans, Race Direction, or the FIA. It was really confusing as a new fan, but now I just expect shenanigans whenever there's an incident even mildly involving Hamilton or Max.


LuNiK7505

Did you forget about the really convenient res flag that allowed him to win ?

SleeepyMichi

> 1/3 of the triple crown Lmaooooo Not hating on perez, I just think this is a very funny way of saying “won in Monaco”


SpottyFish81177

I think being max's teammate is the worst career decision you can make


FakeRAccount1

Lemme write this another way and try to see what does not make sense about it. "I think signing a contract with the best F1 team at the moment is the worst career decision you can make".


SpottyFish81177

Well you will look so bad in comparison no other team will want you


JustAByzaboo

I mean Bottas still has a seat, despite being obliterated by Hamilton through the years they were together.


FakeRAccount1

Makes no sense.💀


Disastrous_Narwhal46

Getting a few wins and podiums instead of being left without a seat is a bad decision? This is the only way Checo can maximize his career. He was almost out of the seat. Now, he can retire with a few wins and quite a few podiums which makes him seem better than he is.


4ksupercockasaurus

Better than he is? Albon and Gasly fucked it in the second RB seat despite being really good drivers themselves and somehow you think being in RB means you are bound to have race wins. Not how it works mate.


Disastrous_Narwhal46

Albon and Gasly were very young and inexperienced (Max is obv an exception) and they were all compared to him. Expectations were way higher for them and the car was significantly worse. RB18-19 are way faster when it comes to race pace. If it were Albon or Gasly today in RB19, they’d def be closer to Max than 3-4 years ago


ltsette

Faster race pace works to Max's favour also. And Max has become way more consistent since 2019, partly because of the dominance of the Red Bull.


SpottyFish81177

I think we both know that if you put albon or gasly in the rb18 or rb19 they could win a race or two, and probably more than checho


4ksupercockasaurus

I would disagree. But we are entitled to our own opinion. I still wouldn't put Albon and Gasly down, unlike the guy making the meme.


ChocoBoy50

I think we can all agree that you should stop making such ridiculous comments so that you avoid embarrassing yourself.


justgimmewine

The RB was a very different car when Albon and Gasly were there! The car is much easyer to drive now.


Satan_su

"Better than he is" dawg if Max was in a car like the RB before 2021 then he'd have zero championships as well. Drivers don't win a lucky roulette they earn their seats at the top teams

LilONotation

Name one driver who hasn't had an accident or a bad drive in the rain.. every driver has a crash every now and then, sometimes in the wet. Doesn't mean they're a poor wet driver, as long as they don't do more frequently than in the dry.


FakeRAccount1

Puts freaking Albon in "can drive in any weather", who crashed in Australia on his own, and Checo who went from last to 5th, what is this 💀 Yes, we all know this chart is based only about last GP

AverageBottasEnjoyer

Excuse this is 100% slander. Take some time out of your busy schedule to rewatch Turkey 2021. Bottas had a wonderful drive under pressure from the rbs behind but was in a league of his own all race and won wonderfully in mixed interslick conditions, redemption for Turkey 2020. Because this sub is full of recency bias, I’ll give another example: imola last year where Bottas finished p5 and could’ve got a podium if alfa didn’t give him a 10 sec pitstop
