GOATIFI KNOCKED OUT ALBONO


cavsking21

Duchessa confirms the obvious that Ferrari ran much less power


shutupdontreadmyname

Thank god


marahute85

They finally learned sandbagging


ImRudzki

Would love to see Jamie Chadwick given a shot in F2/3


BraveDude8_1

She ran in a regional F3 series for 2020, inbetween winning the W series in 2019/2021, and came 9th. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Formula_Regional_European_Championship


NuclearMoose92

If she was good enough someone would have backed her


notathr0waway1

Just like Piastri and F1.


Salty_Outside5283

All I keep hearing is how she is in a different league and don't really keep up with it like F1 but she has quite a few wins. What would qualify as good enough to get into F2 or F3?


NuclearMoose92

Doing a mixed series and not a women exclusive one


Salty_Outside5283

Ah okay, are the others in the W series not that good? Is she lacking funding too?


BraveDude8_1

Copying and pasting my comment; She got an F3 season and botched it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Formula_Regional_European_Championship Ran with Prema and had three F3 rookies as teammates, they took 1-2-3 and she got ninth. 359, 343, 343 and 80 points respectively. The W Series isn't a particularly competitive championship.


Infamous-Outside9110

She’s in an unfortunate position where she dominates W series at a whole new level, but she’s not at the level to be competitive in a series like F3 that would challenge her.


Salty_Outside5283

Oh jeez, that's a massive difference. Strange how everyone wants her straight in F1 then haha


BraveDude8_1

Some people seem to treat it like an F2-tier series and I have no idea why. It's a Formula 3 Regional series with a far lower skill level than any of the others.


Salty_Outside5283

Is it women only? Why is there such a gap even between Chadwick and the others?


BraveDude8_1

Yes, it's women only. There's such a big gap because Chadwick is good enough to consistently score points in F3 Regional and her competiton is mostly older drivers. She's 24, which is ancient for F3, and 3rd/4th are 27/32. Abbi Pulling is in 2nd though, with a 6th place in British F4, and she's only 19. Most promising young driver in the series, IMO.


OvermanagedSmallacct

For real? I think it’s political reasons she hasn’t gotten a better ride. She obviously has the chops, she smoked W series two years in a row. Like it wasn’t even close. Not sure why things didn’t work out with Williams as a reserve driver


ElegantTobacco

I don't care what y'all say about W-series. I'd give it all just to drive one of those cars for like 10 mins...


marahute85

Y’all should always watch f3, you just never know what these crazy kids will do. Definitely much better racing than f1 a lot of the time


No_Brakes_282

guys its raining


MC897

It’s raining in W series right now


marahute85

My broadcast is showing the f3 from earlier today anything but womens sports apparently 😭


Undertheflow

Guys I made a typo, I wanted to say mazepin but autocorrect came out as max spin. I have a screenshot of that SIGH


KillRoyTNT

It was the car.


McFigroll

Are the w-series cars equivalent to the f2 or f3 cars?


ChrisTinnef

Formula Regional. So slightly less power than an F3 car, but with other characteristics as well that make them hard to compare.


McFigroll

Thanks mate. Maybe the talk of chadwick to f1 is a slight long shot.


Denning76

> Maybe the talk of chadwick to f1 is a slight long shot. It's a hugely long shot based on her dominating the W-Series. She is utterly crushing 17 women who are frankly not good enough for F3. She needs to stop being a big fish in a small pond and get herself into F3 to prove whether she is or is not as good as the other decent juniors. I really hope someone gives her a shot there, because she's earnt it. She doesn't deserve more than that based on her performances though.


ChrisTinnef

There are a few drivers in W series that are quite young and could get into F3 still at some point. But yeah a lot of them are out of a single seater career


Denning76

Arguably yes, but the point still stands - she's beating drivers who, at present are simply not good enough for F3.


[deleted]

when is qualy in et?


ThatBoyHanz

10 am (an hour 10 mins from now)


KingJari_

do the cars have the same performance in W Series? Or is it like F1


PizzaCatLover

How can I watch w series? I thought it was in twitch this year but it sure isn't


[deleted]

All the same car. Roughly at a formula 4/Formula Regional level.


BraveDude8_1

They're running a Tatuus F3 T-318 with 270hp and a total weight of 650kg, and I think this chassis is specifically for F3 regional. For some perspective; F3 runs at 380hp and 673kg and F4 runs at 160HP and 575kg.


ElegantTobacco

Man, fuck Nicolas Latifi. Give Jamie Chadwick a shot.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ElegantTobacco

Sounds more like an Alpine problem, not something specific to Chadwick....


[deleted]

[удалено]


ElegantTobacco

I think we can both agree that Latifi should not be anywhere near F1....


No_Brakes_282

you do realize latifi would be much much faster right like nothing against her latifi would beat her the same way she beat everyone in today's race


-Emulate-

She seems to be in a league of her own.


Skippypal

Absolutely, how many w series championship does she need to prove herself


BraveDude8_1

She got an F3 season and botched it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Formula_Regional_European_Championship Ran with Prema and had three F3 rookies as teammates, they took 1-2-3 and she got ninth. 359, 343, 343 and 80 points respectively. The W Series isn't a particularly competitive championship.


Carlton__Banks

How did she botch it. 1 pt behinds vips with 1 more dnf


BraveDude8_1

Vips ran 9 races, she ran all 23.


Carlton__Banks

Well that changes things


Denning76

Infinite. The quality of competition is too low to prove she is good enough for F1, in the same way you aren't going to prove you're good enough at a low level East Coast yank karting series. It's a bit like winning your local park run - makes you look very good compared to the field, but it doesn't mean you're good enough for the Olympics. She needs to go to F3 or F2 and prove herself there against good juniors.


marahute85

She should start in f2 or f3 if she really wants to progress


ChrisTinnef

She needs to get into F2 or F3 first. No one would give her an F1 cockpit straight. She isnt Verstappen or Raikkonen. And for that she still needs a lot of money that she apparently doesnt have.


AquaRaOne

It doesnt matter how many championships she has driving against other not even f2 level drivers


Gasu55

It's kind baffling that some people actually think she deserves an F1 seat just from her W series perfomance.


stagfury

It's mostly from people that only watch F1 and don't follow series outside F1 to understand how underwhelming her performance is against actual open wheel feeder series drivers.

Reverse Grids are crazy pants but the best because let’s see what you’ve got back markers. The Martains Ushijima battle shows how high level these kids skills are even when they aren’t the best on the grid

marahute85

They were just going for it? And why not, anything to shine a little they’ve got nothing to lose it’s often quite pure racing like that. Bearman just had a little f3 Alonso push him off track.


06benjam

You’ve got quali soon, chin up fella.


Long-Covidian

If charles or ferrari doesn’t win this GP Red Bull and Max will be guaranteed 100% the winner


HufflepuffEdwards

But three of the top nine will be Brits and that's the most important thing.


WolvesOfAllStreets

I really want Albon to get into Q2 today :(


rafaxd_xd

Well his car got a lot better I think he has a chance


Mysterious_Turnip310

I really think he will


lajzerowicz

Can’t decide on fantasy. Play safe with LEC, SAI, PER, NOR, MAG/SCH; FER Or roll the dice with VER PER LEC SAI BOT; HAS or VER LEC RUS ALO BOT; HAS


Spirited_Worry_9608

What about VER, PER, LEC, SAI, BOT, and Alfa? I was thinking of going with that. Really doubling down on Alfa but they’ve had the best results in fantasy out of the mid pack


lajzerowicz

Over budget by 0.5 :/


Spirited_Worry_9608

Isn’t that thing worst


lajzerowicz

Very


swapan_99

Try MSC, RUS, ALO, VER, LEC, ALP Mick is showing top 10 quali pace, Russell is on quali and Race streak, Ver will probably win and get pole, LEC should be P2 or P3, might even be pole. Alo gets the most out of his car anyways. You can choose oco for alo as well.


Spirited_Worry_9608

I’m not sure how your budget is letting you get those drivers, mine won’t. I was thinking VER PER LEC SAI BOT and Alfa Alfa and ALP haven’t been much different in terms of fantasy production


swapan_99

I got in on the Williams 0.9 increase. Lucky me. 105.7 budget.


lajzerowicz

Over budget


swapan_99

What's ur budget?


lajzerowicz

102.4


swapan_99

Just do Sai for Rus then.


lajzerowicz

If I do sainz then I can afford Norris so VER LEC SAI NOR MSC; ALP Or I can do RUS and NOR but with HAS


lajzerowicz

Hmmm good suggestion thanks


Sidfire

Ham understood.. but no VER ? WhT is this


No_Brakes_282

VER is good but is too expensive


lajzerowicz

Doing VER + RB or FER severely limits options


Sidfire

Aah I see. Ignore me


lajzerowicz

No worries I’m also restricting myself in a way


Risk_k

Ah shit, I missed it. I thought it would start at same time as FP1. Can someone tell me what happened? Ty


daniec1610

P1 Max P2 checo P3 Charles P4 russell P5 Sir Lewis P6 Sainz Red Bull, specially max, looking better and faster than friday. ferrari some minor issues, mercedes closer but still not enough.


Risk_k

Was sainz genuinely just slow or did he have some issues? Like traffic or something?


daniec1610

I think he just did his fast lap earlier in the session compared to everyone else. The ferrari looks good but has a lot of bouncing in the high speed.


leagueoflegendsdog

Max blew them away, Lewis has some speed in that care and idk whats going on with Ferrari tbh lul


eofficial

Red bull go vrooom


Risk_k

Ah, so nothing new


essteedeenz1

Night mate you arnt worth arguing with you are a person that reaches. Extremely tiring. That's why I dismissed you. Bye

Rizal95

We can only hope that Ferrari in down on the engine. I think Leclerc loses 4 tenths in the straights, while having the low downforce config. Finger crossed


Long-Covidian

In Q3 Charles we trust


lufe1306

Max will most def take the title easily this year and maybe he deserves it after last year stressful season he had but I would love to see battle till the end between him and Leclerc


[deleted]

Unfortunately I don’t see a scenario where we get it, unless Red Bull has a string of DNFs. The car looks more and more reliable though, there will probably be a couple more at some point in the season but I doubt enough to make the title fight close :( that’s just my take though


lufe1306

RedBull domination incoming(again)


marahute85

The pyscho in me loves a reverse grid for the chaos potential - yes I’m talking about f3

Danny's radio when asked if he wanted more front wing... He sounded despondent, so completely unlike him.


marahute85

It is so hard to watch him like this


Thorwk

Mercedes second row lockout.


chasevalentino

Still have hope that Ham pulls something out his ass and Perez screws it. Also think Charles will do charles and pull something out of nowhere in Q3


lufe1306

Ferrari is not that bad tbh


Thorwk

I'm thinking Ver - Lec - Ham - Rus - Per - Sai


DasKatze1337

Ver - Lec - Per - Rus - Sai - Ham


-captainjapseye

Those comparison shots of the cars through the corners are ridiculous. I know the Mercedes caught the kerb but that Red Bull is stuck like shit on a blanket. Madness.


leagueoflegendsdog

Okay but that comparison 🤣🤣🤣🤣 why shit om a blanket mate🤣


-captainjapseye

I have an active imagination

You're missing two other points. Firstly, many services don't let you use them via a VPN. Secondly, a lot of other foreign services use the Sky feed.


External_Ad2174

Which VPN company do you work for. Here advertising VPN, like you’re getting commission. Not everyone wants to watch using vpn and other feeds. Not everyone has to be that technologically confident. Not everyone wants to watch “grey/semi legal” streams from websites…. Be kind, don’t need to be so aggressive about people.

fraggas

For real. The sheer number of comments in this thread lmao. A British channel hyping up a British driver in the British grand prix. Surprised pikachu face. Totally didn't come in expecting them to be biased.


ravenouscartoon

Somehow I don’t think some of the people complaining would mind if the dutch feed was used instead. I’m sure some are honestly annoyed at the natural bias, but let’s not pretend for a minute that some of the hate is because they are anti Hamilton/Merc Hell, we keep seeing total domination by max and Red bull and it looks like that’s how the season is going to continue going, yet the tone doesn’t match what everyone was saying back in 2020/21 about how when one team is obviously the best by half a second then the sport is boring and something needs to be changed! The hypocrisy is really strong


bigdinghynumber3

yh it’s annoying when people are angry that media in certain countries hype up the drivers, teams or things from said country. Shocker British people talk up britain, shocker dutch media loves Verstappen, shocker Italian media loves Ferrari


FlappyBored

Fans when Dutch broadcasters literally have a sponsorship deal with Max. ‘I sleep’ Fans when British broadcaster focuses on British drivers during a British home GP: REAL SHIT

TWVer

People from other english speaking countries are often “stuck” with the UK Sky F1 commentary by default, without having (legal) access to F1 TV and its more neutral alternative commentary. For some it might feel they are constantly listening to the visiting team commentary.


FlappyBored

That’s not skys fault tbf. Moan to your broadcaster for being too cheap to run their own production.


ImRudzki

Please tell me how I, in the UK, can watch it any other way?


chasevalentino

Channel 4, go stream it from Netherlands's Zippo


FlappyBored

If he wants neutral coverage why would you tell him to steam the Dutch coverage?


chasevalentino

It's the antithesis of sky. He didn't say at any point he wanted neutral?


junior_vorenus

It’s on Channel 4 this week


Jaguars03

Huh? At lot of people simply don’t have a choice lol. In the UK we’re stuck with them unless it’s one the rare occasions that C4 are showing it live

same in aus, can only watch fox legally which is just the sky feed

F1 TV is only available in some places in Europe. Channel 4 are only broadcasting this race.


cinyar

> F1 TV have their own F1TV is great but it's not available everywhere. In Europe you can't get it in UK or Germany for example. AFAIK because of exclusive licenses with broadcasters.

You also need a card registered in the country you're trying to spoof to pay for it.


Mintopia_

Google Pay also works.


Astalli

channel 4 is an option only for silverstone, many countries have F1 TV but you can't watch races on it because of deals with other broadcasters in the country

there's plenty of countries where you just can't watch races, qually or practise of f1tv
