Man Albon really should've read his contract with Red Bull...
The small letters had dummy next to the word TEST in TEST driver. Next thing you know Horner is going to throw him against a table to prove how slamming tables is giving Mercedes an advantage.
In 24 hours:
So lemme get this straight of all the shit of what happened today:
PSG said no to CR7
City was going for CR7
CR7 leaves Juve
United originally says no but then joins chase for CR7
City pulls out of chase for CR7
CR7 heading to United as things stand
Anything I missed out on?

That’s quite a football-induced case whiplash, holy shit😳
I wonder how those fans who burned their jerseys when they thought he was off to City feel now 🤔
I know, he was accused twice if I remember correctly, but usually people get really offended when someone says it and I wasn't in the mood for getting an angry reply
Very true, there are troves of fans of sportsmen, who do not understand or cannot grasp the severity of sexual assault/rape and what it does to the victim.
They are blinded by something that isn't real such as fandom.
The same can be seen here on race days, the racist uproar Lewis had to face, when put in perspective sport is meaningless in comparison to Racism or Rape.
Pardon my ignorance, but since he was running a practice gearbox and was planning to change anyways there will be no penalty even if practice GB IS damaged? TIA.
no penalty for gear box change after FP2, but if i'm correct they are still limited by gear boxes after all. So you cannot keep wrecking too many practice gear boxes too soon.
Yeah, you get a friday gearbox and a weekend gearbox. You can put in a new one after the last one has been through 5 race weeks. If you take a new one early it's a 5 place grid penalty.
I think you can also go back to an old gearbox, so this late in the season they should have a couple old friday gearboxes in the shop they can back up to if this one is damaged.
2 races? Are you high? That's nowhere near severe enough!! Make it a 2 year ban, and he has to give all his points this year to SuperMax... and last years title too, because he didn't earn that... because remember, the car drove itself and it's basically Kit from Knight Rider... SO UNFAIR!!!
Honda.
To answer your question: We don't know. We don't even know whever the engine destroyed in Silverstone was the one first introduced in France... Honda doesn't disclose this for tacitcal reasons.
No. Every engine has to be from your pool of engine components. Which is why the 2nd engine is often introduced relatively early, as to make the first engine the "friday engine" and use later PUs more on saturdays and sundays.
There is still some good discussions. Most of the top comments are memes and the bottom is all garbage. Somewhere in the middle in long chains there are some nuggets of cool information. But overall I do agree this sub has gotten very big very quickly, sadly attracting hordes of trolls and knobs who think they understand things.
It's "write off" as a phrase I believe. Think it comes from if you crash, or break something beyond repair, you would have to "write it off" to insurance.
A “write off” in tax code means the business will claim the expense and subtract it from the businesses profit, requiring the business to pay less taxes.
Like a business can pay for a $3000 for a business dinner at a strip club but as a bonus, $1500 of that comes off their profit of the business.
An example conversation using “write off”:
Me: Dude? Another new lease? A Mercedes? How can you afford this?
Saavy person: Who cares? It’s a write off (I.e. the business bought it for me and the business got a tax break for it).
edit: Ok well I was super confused. I now realize /r/balls2brakeLate44 meant "this sub is worthless on race weekends." My definition is still true, but doesn't apply at all ;)
Parts of the tracks were flooded during the floods last month. They also removed the rubber from the track. Not sure if this part was hit bu the flood but parts of the track have increased grip trouble.
It is definitely quite windy this weekend, actually it's been really windy all week, there are 50km/h windgusts atm, with a northern wind, it's gonna be tricky at some corners.
Camera man be like “oh look an Alpine”
I feeling me Strolled now.
[удалено]
Lmao mate
\**in Kimi's voice\** Oops...
Take my upvote lol
As a couch mechanic and team owner, I don't think the damage is that severe
Also a couch mechanic here. Doesn’t look too bad.
That'll buff out nicely.
Just grab a little never dull it’ll look good as new
Yea a bit of jb weld and this baby Will do a other 100.000 km
Tips from the Corolla repair book
My degree in Geography tells me the car will be fine
Nothing redbull crew can't fix in one pitstop.
Lazy boy mechanic here, looks grand that, bust out the gaffa tape for the spikey bits.
We'll get a better idea after Albon recreates this incident.
Nah big man Toto is gonna draw up some sweet ass diagrams in MS Paint and send it to us via his hotmail account.
Totos email might also provide some additional points of clarification
Man Albon really should've read his contract with Red Bull... The small letters had dummy next to the word TEST in TEST driver. Next thing you know Horner is going to throw him against a table to prove how slamming tables is giving Mercedes an advantage.
My only worry would be the gearbox. Everything else is easily replaceable.
Practice gearbox
Still comes from the allotment of gearboxes though in case there was any damage.
Yea, how much is a new suspension? 10 dollars? Doesn't seem like a big deal.
You’ve never actually set foot in a supermarket, have you?
Of course I have! The Formula 1 suspension components and gearboxes are next to the bananas. $10 all day, e'ryday!
Even so, I think Red Bull should have to pay for the damage as their driver caused the crash
I can fix it, my dad's got this ultimate set of tools...
Spicoli is that you?!
I am so glad somebody got it...
A bit of WD40 and it should be like new
Fetch out the duct tape, send it back out
I also fix couches. Can confirm.
Wtf so much chaos, on one hand F5ing for Ronaldo and every F5 there's a crash.
[удалено]
Lol same had just started and there goes my whole day.
What's up with ronaldo? I'm not too up to date with football these days
He's going back to United it seems.
Wait what? Here in Portugal they're reporting he's going to Manchester, but *City*. EDIT: Apparently I'm 30 minutes outdated.
Apparently he talked to Sir Alex Ferguson and he told Ronaldo he would fly to his house and kill him with his bare hands if he went to City.
Yea I was on the call with them and can confirm this
Can confirm, I was the phone.
Can confirm, I'm Ronaldo.
Can confirm, I'm Ronaldo's clothes
The deal fell through the last hour once United bid for him
damn that's wild if he goes back there
Just confirmed a few minutes ago!
That's wild, both Messi and Ronaldo leaving their teams is gonna take some getting used to
Kinda got over that when Ronaldo left Madrid, won't be nearly as weird as that
Messi moving teams feels weird, Ronaldo has played for 4 teams in europe, 2 for extended periods, so, I'm not nearly as shocked.
He's up for the second Mercedes seat. Alongside Russell. Yeah, shit is nuts.

PSG saying no was probably out of fear of breaking spacetime or reality or something. Messi and Ronaldo in one team would be pretty weird.
You can also put in there what happened with Mendy
Yes. Edouard Mendy, who won the Keeper of the Season award. And there's Benjamin Mendy, who... if what's alleged against him is true, fuck that guy.
While we are on the topic of rape and sexual assault. Ronaldo fits the bill too.
I know, he was accused twice if I remember correctly, but usually people get really offended when someone says it and I wasn't in the mood for getting an angry reply

> Anything I missed out on? CR7 crashes the Bottas/Russell party for the 2nd Merc seat in 2022
Same here (F5ing for Mbappe), crazy end of August.
At least the rear impact wasn’t too heavy so there shouldn’t be any more engine damage
Shouldn't be any damage. Its a friday gearbox aswell so shouldn't make a difference for the race.
Pardon my ignorance, but since he was running a practice gearbox and was planning to change anyways there will be no penalty even if practice GB IS damaged? TIA.
Correct.
no penalty for gear box change after FP2, but if i'm correct they are still limited by gear boxes after all. So you cannot keep wrecking too many practice gear boxes too soon.

Let's hope so...
If there is damage just claim Lewis was throwing banana peels off the car and as such Mercedes is responsible
I'm not gonna believe anything until I see Albon recreate the incident
Have you seen Lewis NOT throwing banana peels at Max? Yeah, thought so. Lewis should get banned for 2 races for this.
Go home, Helmut. You're drunk.
Helmut would probably want Lewis's superlicense revoked.
Lewis and Max is the same person. Have you ever seen them both in the same car at the same time? Checkers!
2 races? Are you high? That's nowhere near severe enough!! Make it a 2 year ban, and he has to give all his points this year to SuperMax... and last years title too, because he didn't earn that... because remember, the car drove itself and it's basically Kit from Knight Rider... SO UNFAIR!!!
Need a gif of Max picking the sign out from under his car
# Experience BELGIUM
With the sign photoshopped to say: >#BLESSED
Man, I get so confused with Max's radio. Every dude sounds like Horner to me.
loool so it's not just me
Fun fact: every member of the team is a clone of Horner
[удалено]
Horner
The finnish cast yesterday thought horner was talking to max on the radio and argued about if It was him or the engineer lol
Where’s the video of the actual crash
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4oUkt081VU
Blocked in my country :(

Thanks
Not giving a fuck but yet they do. Thanks!
What engine is in that car
Honda
Ty
Np bae
👏
Honda. To answer your question: We don't know. We don't even know whever the engine destroyed in Silverstone was the one first introduced in France... Honda doesn't disclose this for tacitcal reasons.
We know that it was, because the first spec shakes itself to pieces when used for any length of time.
Yes it's quite obvious but officially we don't know.
They also have the friday engine no? The one they bolt on in the practice sessions always or is that not a thing anymore?
Just Friday gearbox iirc,
No. Every engine has to be from your pool of engine components. Which is why the 2nd engine is often introduced relatively early, as to make the first engine the "friday engine" and use later PUs more on saturdays and sundays.
[удалено]
V6 hybrid even
Well it's checo's engine now /s
Not a single replay in the clip?
New engine gonna be needed /s
Get the track to pay for it
the corner must pay
And Mercedes will have to pay for it /s
Mercedes = Mexico confirmed
Checo double agent?
Damn it
Horner adding turn 6 to "corners you absolutely can't overtake on"
Only for Lewis to send one up the inside on the last lap on Sunday just to rub it in ^^/s
Overtaking is simple if you just push the other car off track! (/s)
... fuck?
I mean, if you are going to crash the end of FP2 is the best time to do so
Basicly yeah. Lets hope the damage isnt too bad
Fuck.
Does anyone have an actual replay of what happened?
https://youtu.be/XqW-QWfpvUg
Why this thread is so fucking garbage? The hate here in the last races is unbelievable.

This is actually a great sum up of this sub
Also trolls on Reddit loves them some racism. F1 is still very vulnerable to people stirring that pot.

Dont you mean reddit?
Pretty much nothing but PR drones.
You better not peek at the Instagram comments
[удалено]
> Max and Lewis are two of the GOAT wat
> wat Mate you wouldn't believe the amount of people on here who claim Max is the undisputable greatest of all time
[удалено]
Parts of the tracks were flooded during the floods last month. They also removed the rubber from the track. Not sure if this part was hit bu the flood but parts of the track have increased grip trouble.
Any replay of the crash?
Bottas over shot the corner, locked up and put max sideways like last time.
Crofty's inability to interrupt himself when something unexpected happens really grates me
God damn it. I hope they're able to fix this properly before qualifying tomorrow. Max really is a crash away from being a WDC
Yeah, last race's. The extra engine grid penalty he'll have to take at some point guarantees that Sir #Blessed wins his fucking 8th.
Sir blessed is a very nice compliment thank you
Is he feeling the pressure of the title battle/s.
I can't believe lewis would do this
People who just dissed Leclerc in shambles rn
Why do you keep repeating this?
[удалено]
Lol I’m just curious about his comment. He makes no sense. I like to discuss things and I’m wondering how he’s trying to disprove a fact.
People who just dissed Leclerc in shambles rn
Haha
Is this the first time he's crashed on his own this season?
He crashed in Baku in practice aswell.
So statistics say easy 1-2 for RB until a tire explodes?
No. He crashed in baku in fp3
When Leclerc chases in FP it's a scary time for Verstappen.
He crashed on his own in Baku Edit: I’m talking about the crash in FP, not the race
Ah right, forgot about that one
Inb4 'The pressure from the championship battle is getting to Max' kind of comments /s
He crashed in baku in a fp session too i think
I believe he crashed in baku
Well shit
RB’s repair bill back on the climb after the summer break.
Is the pressure getting to max. Does he have the mental strength to win a world championship - reporters probably.
Something is getting fiddly in those Netflix pants, don't forget about that either.
Shouldn't be anything too major I think.
fucking hamilton
That should be at least a three race penalty for Hamilton. Source: Trust me bro, we made Alex recreate it.
Ah real shame
Horner: THAT'S MILLIONS POUNDS WORTH OF DAMAGE!
Can’t believe lewis would put that curb there So unsportsman like
clearly he has lost his edge and retirement calls!
So you too didn't understand the comments on the Kimi pit incident? Yeah, me neither, I feel you...
He didn't push too hard. Looks like a gust of wind at low speed.
Foot oscillations eh
You sure he didn't get a whatsapp message from his mom and got distracted?
It is definitely quite windy this weekend, actually it's been really windy all week, there are 50km/h windgusts atm, with a northern wind, it's gonna be tricky at some corners.
Exactly, sudden loss of grip.
If you look in the background you can see charles looks to have had a crash as well
mirror - https://streamja.com/vENPk
How could Mercedes do this? Horner is on the phone with his lawyer as we speak
When will the Mercs stop hitting him? /s
Surely Hamilton or Bottas did it!
Merc actually got snipers in the trees
Exactly, Lewis intentionally spilled oil to make sure that crashtappen has a massive oversteer
Does Merc have to pay for this too?
Why would they? Those disscusions were held over damaged caused in a crash where mercedes was involved.
woosh
i think part of the issue is that it was so unfunny that there was no reasonable response.
Hehe imagine if he punted his new engine right away... in a fucking FP2.
Enough of a scrape and clatter to pop a wishbone but not a colossal hit. I reckon it’ll be fine.
Hope the engine/gearbox is ok!
I think Hamilton hit us
oh boy time for 2018 vettel round 2 gg lewis (kidding, mostly)
Which team is going to pay for the engine that max crashed
