Any F1 racing fans?

Lots of speculation on this, there was also stated that Jos has a relationship with the female employee in question… Jos is also Max’s manager? He’s negotiating with Mercedes. Max is bound by contract to Helmut, he supposedly said that he will let Max out of if he wants to leave. Looks like everyone is turning against CH. Supposedly they offered him to leave silent for health reasons. He refused and is fighting. Ford, future partner of RB ( in the works I think) requesting an open investigation. Big Drama, looking like “some pussy” destroying a leading F1 team
Max has an exit clause that can be initiated if Helmut leaves but it's an option, not binding. There's definitely a lot of drama and the Dutch side seems adamant about Horner getting gone. I believe it's related to the power struggle of the Dutch owners and Chalerm Yoovidhya with CY favoring Horner. I don't think Max is going to leave the fastest car unless he's seriously unhappy with RB and Horner. And I don't believe Max and Horner are unhappy with each other. I think it's a Jos/Helmut issue and from my perspective, a set up to by the two to get rid of Horner which backfired badly for the two and they are both reaching/doubling down and have been caught.Lots of speculation on this, there was also stated that Jos has a relationship with the female employee in question… Jos is also Max’s manager?

Also, Russell outpaced Hamilton a second time in a row in the same car for qualifying. Hamilton appears to have lost a bit of his edge.
Who cares ? Races should be on Sundays. No special privlidges for people.. or religions.
A bit ? He lost his edge and replaced it with more ego 2 years ago.
Im just waiting for my white male christian privlidge card to arrive any day now. Then i can ask them to not race on a Sunday because it conflicts with the sabath and me attending church.
Oh wait, i can watch the replay 2hrs later. No problem !

Not a Ferrari fan, but would like to see Oliver Bearman finish in the points.
Q11 is not a bad first qualifying.
No surprise Verstappen wins. Perez holds onto 2nd even with a 8 second penalty. And Bearman does very nicely with 4 places up from start and finishes in the points and Driver of the Day. Props to Hamilton for getting fastest lap of the day only to lose it to LeClerc on the last lap.

Driver of the Day and finishing ahead of Lulu in your first race. 
Have a day Oli Bearman!

I was pulling for Ollie.......knew he couldn't win but he could make a huge impression.
If you overlook the clear double standards. Magnussen gets crucified with two 10 second penalties while Norris "didn't" false start? My retarded and blind dog could see a false start. Thank God Indycar is back, where decent racing parity occurs. F1 is a complete and undisputed shitshow propped by people telling you its GREAT (much like our lovely gov)...
If you only care about Indy car, you know nothing about racing. To make it clear since we’re on sh, what you‘re doing is like a savage “enthusiast” shitting into a AI or custom rifle thread telling us how a Indy car (savage) is just as good or better.lol you and my wife have much in common. Cares about the pretty cars instead of the racing
Lol adorable, and I care about several forms of racing. F1, I'd really like to enjoy because race weekends are plentiful. I just can't get past the focus on the machine, rather than the driver's skill. The DRS to enduce passing in the most artificial and boring way. And the dumb political games played by and between F1 and the FIA.
I like the cars, sure, but the racing is so predictable, it's hardly worth watching, in my opinion.
I'm pretty sure Indy car is very competitive, as it's a spec series. I have been to several Indy car races. Just not my thing, the appearance of the cars has a lot to do with it. I have tried to like NASCAR too, but there are too many wrecks, the cautions are way too long and the points and stage racing is gimmicky as hell. No one watching live or on TV wants to watch laps upon laps of cautions. They have cautions for no fucking reason it's so annoying to watch.lol you and my wife have much in common. Cares about the pretty cars instead of the racing
For sure. Nascar isn't my cup of tea either. I find myself drawn to road racing and live for WEC/IMSA weekends. I don't even really watch Indy oval weekends much.
The thing I hate the most is the street courses! Why in God's name would F1 run a street course in Chicago/Vegas when you have iconic road courses all over the place?

Like their “strategically” rolling starts because they aren’t able to do standing ones?
I live on the north side of Tampa, if I had asked my boss I’m sure he would have gotten me some good tickets for the St. Pete Grand Prix that is actually happening today I think. Absolutely no interest.
If he could get me some good weekend tickets for Zandvoort, Spa Francorchamps or Zeltweg(Red Bull Ring)
I’d book flights tomorrow ……

What He Said….^^^^
Street circuits? If I wanted to watch people go down concrete canyons, I would float the Grand Canyon. At least the rock walls have something nice to look at. Besides, Road circuits go back to original racing, between cities on R O A D S!
NASCAR road circuits are better than nothing. And I understand track racing in the US, where horse tracks were originally used for motor racing in the very earliest days of the sport. But real road circuits, Spa and Monza, and Rhiems, and of course, Le Mans. (Especially before they started gumming it up. Seeing Dan Gurney, driving a MK IV at 200+ down the Mulsuanne, using his knees to steer while he buckled his seatbelt/shoulder strap. Now that’s Driving!).
Final thought and I’ll shut up and get on with the day. Want to bring back real racing without all the artificial passing gimmicks. Get rid of external wings. Real vehicles on the street don’t use strange multi vane wings stuck all over the place. Even Aircraft that need and use wings don’t have all these vanes and other gimmicks stuck on them (slotted flaps and slats excluded) So, get rid of all the external stuff, bring back racing where passing is up to the drivers skill, not some extra power or flapping rear wing to determine a pass.
And NASCAR, your name is National Association of STOCK Car Racing. Not, NAODCR (National Association of One Design Car Racing). Get back to your roots, these one designs parading around the tracks are just about as bad as Formula One wings parading around concrete canyons.
Didn't realize standing starts was what separated the men from the boys. Surely it's not because there are MANY more cars in the field.
I'm not going to argue with you any longer. Your fanboy-ism is so powerful that F1 shits gold and everything is perfect. There's no conversing with someone like that.
Everything around turning into a shit hole ….
How could racing be excluded? The best thing for me would be to throw every tv out of the window. Haven’t gotten to the point yet but getting closer.
That was unexpected. The season just got a little more interesting.
Glad to see Carlos win. Hopefully he’ll find a good team next year, like RB. Checo is not that good and should be driving the other car for the other RB team. Yuki and Daniel should move to something else.
Verstappen looks unstoppable. He's so far ahead in all the races it's as if he's driving a different class of car. I read that his leads are so much that he's been essentially doing some "testing" during the race. Perez should be closer than he is, driving essentially an identical set up.
Mercedes looks like a 2nd tier team. And Toto is a real delta bravo too.
Logan Sergeant will likely not be driving before the end of the season which is a bummer. I was really hoping an American driver could succeed.
Looking forward to being able to watch a race live from Miami.

Having been to several NASCAR races, I couldn't get into it. When they wreck, full course caution for laps on end. Stage racing? WTF is this gay shit? You can go off the track on road courses? The cars change colors and sponsors just about every race? But I do enjoy the sound of those Bald Eagle machines.
I don’t see anyone challenging Max this season.
Ferrari looks to have improved the most of the teams toward the front of the field.
Ricciardo was showing better form, and pre-race I expected him to be in the points.
Alonzo had an incredible save coming out of that last turn, and is wringing out everything the Aston Martin can give.
Sadly, Sargent looks to have lost any confidence and will probably be gone by mid season. Williams is just plain awful right now regardless.

Finally get to watch a live race at a normal time. Who's watching? It's on ABC at 4pm EST.
Verstappen gets his 7th pole of the season and continues to dominate in the sprint race. Ricciardo had a decent qualifying for the sprint and finished 4th but not so much for the main.
Will Verstappen get his 6th win in seven races today? Unless he has some mechanical issue, I would be hard pressed to believe he wouldn't.

Can’t like this post enough! Happy for Lando and McLaren.
I'd like to say he got lucky with the safety car but I believe he would have beaten Verstappen regardless. He was fast today and drove a brilliant race.
But did you see the big mole on the side of her eye? I mean I could overlook it but it stood out when they put her on the screen. All those fockers have hot wimmins.
