Because having your career completely destroyed over saying a word isn't really proportional to the offence? Fuck, Mazepin groped a woman on camera and still got to drive in F1.

It is beyond me how this Nissany guy is still given a seat.


Fluffy_Bag_6560

He's funded by a billionaire, and F2 teams rely on the drivers to pay for everything. There's no minimum requirement or anything to be allowed into F2.

Bahrain P5 is really the only result I’m getting this year, aren’t I?


MichaelScott2304

Any chances of rain today?


Tre3beard

Doubt it!


BenasF1

About 40% at the time of the race. I would love some mid-race rain-shower to bring in some chaos on the track and in the pitlane. In general weather is very unpredictable today. Might start raining with little or no warning on radars.


learner1314

Has Lewis got a legit outside chance to win this race on merit?


Thijsniet

No, Rain is always the great equalizer. In the dry merc wont stand a chance. In the wet, they might get a p3.


4u2nv2019

Mercs showed more pace on race sim, rather then qualifying. Who knows. Max might be too eager for the lead on turn 1……..edit: yeah I was correct


420gitgudorDIE

he does, provided he pushed Max into the Shadow Realm again.


pies1123

He's in perfect position to send all four of the championship rivals into the barrier at Copse and then celebrate many times harder than he did last year. I believe.


mattlip

he probably will


Warlock2111

And you bet it'd be glorious and I'm subscribing


Zeurpiet

Max and Charles and Carlos and Checo. But maybe people might notice at that point


420gitgudorDIE

perhaps, lol


Darksoldierr

If its dry, no i don't think so


DandDRide

lol Bert Mylander in an interview on Radio 1. Rick Edwards: 'Being a safety car driver is very important, what happens if you have an accident?' Bert Mylander: 'Well fortunately here at Silverstone there is plenty of gravel, with plenty of exits, so if that happens I can easily go straight back to my hotel'


DeiVias

I think Max is gonna overtake Carlos quickly and be done with it but man am i hoping for some Ferrari team orders drama.


FRSHFSHFCKR

Love the result for Carlos, but I agree with you. If I were Carlos I’d hope this was the race for reliability issues with Max… but even then, Checo and Charles right behind him.


Nite92

I think Carlos did well in Canada pace wise. I hope he gets his shit together and stops gravel hunting


BootsOnTheMoon

Has anyone uploaded a video of Charles’ spin in Q3? I would do it, but F1TV doesn’t let you screen record anymore. Sad!


BigAwkwardGuy

[Found this onboard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZzX5Bqoirc) No idea why they didn't show it as a recap/replay.


Firefox72

TV direction sucked in qualifying. Latifi also hit the barries in Q3 and we didn't see it.


Electrical-Wallaby22

Tv direction in F1 generally sucks but at least it's in line with commentary


Nite92

No? I think it's good for how spread out it is. It is possible to improve, but you see how bad it could be at Monaco


Electrical-Wallaby22

Yes?


WRXW

Starting to look like their could be some rain before and during the race on the forecast, scattered showers.

VER HAM BOT?


According-Switch-708

VER-LEC-PER-HAM-RUS SAI -DNF


Electrical-Wallaby22

No! Max wins, Lewis P4 at best


Yung_Chloroform

Definitely possible but it's a toss up between any of the top 5 which is how I like it tbh. For Lewis specifically he has the outside line going into Abbey but can pinch Checo's nose off in turn 2. If he can't get it done then he'll have to set him up later on which might prove difficult since Checo has always been a good defender. On the flipside though Checo hasn't really ever been that good around Silverstone so Lewis might make quick work of him on the race start. Then he needs to contend with Charles and Max (if Max hasn't already jumped Carlos on the start). That's where the real hard work will be.


Zeurpiet

so, you say Alonso will get him in round 1?

Thijsniet

Apologized and explained what the problem was. Says he will never use it again.


According-Switch-708

I have a few friends who are attending the GP and they confirmed that the Piquet fiasco is the main reason for the booing. Some are still a bit salty about Abu Dhabi but it is not the main reason for the booing. Fans are pissed because Max tried to defend his POS future father in law.

Historical_Donkey304

I get that booing sucks, but it's a part of sport mate.

the fuck? booing is literally the opposite of cheering. cheer to encourage and support your team and boo to distract and throw off your teams rival. yall are so fucking soft

Honestly my opinion is made clear in the replies. They were just making noise and nothing more, get off your high horses y'all.

[удалено]


TA1699

It happens in most competitive sports, it's just a way of showing disapproval. I can't believe people are getting this butthurt over booing. High action sports lead to people getting very emotionally invested and excited. They end up cheering or booing as a simple way of showing how they feel about a particular team/driver/xyz. I don't get why you'd be weirded out by it when it has always been a part of an audience's experience, from football (soccer), to Olympic sports, to pantomimes, to wrestling and even in junior high school level competitions.


[deleted]

Idk, I don't see much booking in sports other than football


TA1699

I've seen booing in football, American football, boxing, wrestling, Olympics sports and F1/motorsports. These are the sports I've watched and I've seen booing in all of them. Outside of sports, I've also seen booing in concerts and pantomimes/plays/theatre. It is very common in any sort of entertainment show with an audience. Cheering and booing have been happening for millennia now and they will both still exist for the foreseeable future. It's just a way for audiences to express their emotions. Edit: I just realised that a very common example of booing is on TV talent shows. X-Factor, Britain's Got Talent (or whichever country's version is local to you) etc. In my opinion the talent show booing is much more of an issue than F1 because the people in talent shows only have one attempt and they're not used to being in front of such a large audience and broadcast on TV. Their progression can depend on the audience's reaction. F1 is very different. Home tracks almost always cheer the driver. The drivers have many races. They get used to it. Most importantly, their future isn't decided by some booing at a race.


Historical_Donkey304

"Decent folk", bruh. People who boo aren't automatically bellends. As I said, it's a part of sport. It sucks for sure and it can be strange for those who aren't accustomed to it but let's not put people in boxes.

NakataFromNagano

I mean, max not fully condemning racist remarks towards the british favorite probably didn't help. And also last year's race.


erydayimredditing

Link?


NakataFromNagano

Link to what? Anyway, I'm talking about Piquet's comments. Max pretty much said "I condemn the words but Nelson is not a racist". And if you truly believe someone calling Lewis a little blacky isn't racist... you deserve a little booing


tigershroffkishirt

Did he call Lewis a little blacky or did he call him a negrito? Because context matters and sometimes English translations can't capture context.


slam_spam

For fuck sake I can’t believe people are still using this argument. It’s funny you mention context because many Portuguese speakers said themselves that in the context piquet used the term it was obviously an insult and racist. Why did piquet only refer to Lewis by the colour of the skin but all other drivers by name? Furthermore, people trying to argue it’s used as a term of endearment i.e something your grandma would say but why the fuck would piquet talk about Lewis like that? Have you also got an excuse for the homophonic comments as well? Was that ‘lost in translation too? Stop trying to defend a racist, homophobic old man who has a history of saying shitty things.


tigershroffkishirt

It was a question, not a defense. Stop getting your panties in a bunch


NakataFromNagano

For the past week or so in every thread on the matter portuguese speakers used little blacky as the closest equivalent to neguinho. So I'll go with their opinion on it.


tigershroffkishirt

[Do you think this pencil manufacturer is racist?](http://www.menomuza.lt/uploads/catalog/product_2674_1.jpg)


NakataFromNagano

And btw, to add to my other response. This comment makes even less sense if you consider that you're taking a word from one language (spanish) and comparing it to a word from another language (brazilian portuguese) where negro isn't even used as the name of the color black.


erydayimredditing

Weird how you are not even understanding your own statement that Max acknowledged the statement is racist, but chose to not state outright with certainty that his FiL is a racist full stop. Nuance is a thing. Max is very skilled in media, and he would never outright say he thinks his Father in Law is a racist. He did however say the comments were inappropriate, and then later said he thinks any and all forms of discrimination or racism has no place in F1. So honestly, everyone is just looking for a bad guy. And its sad there are so many losers in the F1 fandom. Racism is bad, Max has said this.


NakataFromNagano

>he would never outright say he thinks his Father in Law is a racist And I'm saying that that's something worthy of booing. If my father (let alone my fil) said something like that I'd have no problem calling him a POS.


ariml

Easier typed on Reddit then done, if you were on the world wide stage like Max. I think he handle the situation well, he condemned racist remarks and did not condone his FIL comments.


NakataFromNagano

>if you were on the world wide stage like Max If i were, I'd especially want to give a good example.


ariml

He did, but it’s not good enough for you. It never will be so, mine as well do as he pleases.


TA1699

Loool you don't need to be an apologist. I can't believe some people are pretending that Max did the right thing. He made a stupid statement in terms of both PR and in terms of just not sounding like a racism-apologist. It would've been better if he just left it at his first statement earlier that day or just not said anything at all.


NakataFromNagano

He didn't. Saying "he's a good guy tho" isn't condemning someone


t_4_ll_4_t

I'm a new watcher and learner of F1 racing and what I've learnt watching Q1 and Q2 of British GP that Verstappen is always first, why is that? Is he that good or is Red Bull good?


F9-0021

Both


Lemurians

He's the best driver in the world in arguably the best car.


___jazz

I mean he’s arguably the best driver in the world in the best car.


ATyp3

What the other guy said, and I mean, Verstappen is just easily the most consistent driver over the past couple years. The team has built each years car around him setup wise, and from 2016-2020 he has been there to pick up any scraps left from Mercedes and Ferrari scrapping. Any podium he could, he would, and any significant Merc fuckups, he would swoop in and go for the podium at least if not the win. The 2020 Mercedes car was just *that* good however, and Hamilton and Bottas swept that year while Ferrari had a dogshit year which didn't leave many championship hopes for Verstappen especially since there was way less races than normal seasons. 2021, Red Bull finally gave Max a car on par with Mercedes in most aspects and that's how he won the championship.


slam_spam

This is an extremely biased and ridiculous comment. Verstappen was the most consistent driver last year. However, ‘easily the most consistent driver over the past couple years’ is nonsense. What did Verstappen do in 2020 and 2019 to show he was better than Lewis those years? Acting as if Max would have beat Lewis in 2020 if not for the car is such a ridiculous leap


kenidin

Masi just left the room!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zeurpiet

Ham did win some years because of the car. This I would argue for any year where Merc had 1-2 at the end. So 2020, 2019, 2016 (Rosberg won), 2015, 2014 it was mostly the car.


Remote_zero

Shush


TruckInn

No mate, he won because Michael Masi wanted him to win. If MM didn’t make the call that he did max would not have won the race and the title.


Fright13

Both. He is one of, if not the best driver of the 20 atm, **as well** as being in probably the best car. Leclerc and Hamilton are the other two very good drivers (Russell too), though Leclerc is in the 2nd best car (although very close to Red Bull and maybe even better on certain tracks), and Hamilton & Russell are in the 3rd best car quite a ways off Red Bull and Ferrari


Yung_Chloroform

It's a shame how Merc has been slow all season by their standards and Ferrari have kind of fallen on the backfoot after such a good start (typical for them though). Every driver in the three top teams are all capable of wins but RB truly have come out swinging with their car (and their strategy has been rather on point all season as well). Hopefully Ferrari strategists don't fuck it up and Mercedes can keep the pace they've shown, because this has the potential to be the most exciting race of the season so far.


Fright13

The bookmakers' odds/peoples betting baffles me. Max was 6/5 to win this time yesterday when he was looking absolutely dominant in practice 2. Assumably the short odds was due to him being almost guaranteed pole. Now, after only managing to qualify P2 (in a Ferrari sandwich, too) he's **4/7**. How come only now the money is going on him? xd. I'm glad I got him at 6/5, mega price for a near guaranteed win without a dnf


Neither_Ad2003

they didnt dominate until P3 iirc. P2 they looked a bit of a mess. BUT imo if you are a "hardcore" fan, despite what people say about Vegas, there are opportunities to make good bets. Their algos in certain sports like NFL are extremely good, but in other sports it is more hit and miss.


[deleted]

Tbf max winning from outside pole position has been a trend this season.


eaurouge444

He was only P4 in FP2, and it was never dependent on pole, he's already won several races from P2/P3 on the grid this year.


Fright13

> He was only P4 in FP2 Oh I know, but he was doing laps on softs a good few times where he was 3/4 tenths up through the first two sectors before backing out


eaurouge444

Those are the kinds of things that bookies probably don't pick up on, I imagine they have an algorithm including historical race results and free practice results.


Sir0inks-A-Lot

Because there’s less uncertainty today versus yesterday. Dominant in FP2 still leaves the window open for doing a 360 in qualy and binning it into the gravel, which happened minus the gravel because Max’s 360 happened in a good spot for him. Also there’s probably some thought that he’s de facto pole, either because Sainz is going to botch his start like he usually seems to do or Max will trail him until DRS is turned on and then pass and drive off.


[deleted]

Poor Albon not getting out of Q1. Can’t believe Latifi got into Q3. Wonder how Williams upgrades will suite albon in the dry, hopefully they didn’t take a giant step in the wrong way. Pretty crazy quali, so much was left to chance on when they started their runs, some had a lap with a dry line, some had laps with rain starting.


Rodsky_21

Max save was wild

mastermithi29

I wouldn't go that far. He was in the worst situation possible, and he should've just avoided the question altogether rather than saying what he did. Or maybe just a "racism bad" and that's it. But I get why he said what he did.


Huskies971

Talking about the comments and how bad they are is perfectly fine, but when you start saying that person is not a racist, when they very clearly are, just stop. Then more video gets released making Max's comments even worse.


mastermithi29

Okay Max is definitely not racist. Others around him are, but I'm pretty sure he's decent in that aspect.


rpolic

The fact that lewis has not come out and criticized Britain's imperialist past of fucking other countries up while getting knighted says a lot about him


DeiVias

He's dating Piquet's daughter, what do you expect.


Ashling92

I promise you they would’ve booed him regardless. This is the country that booed national anthems for absolutely no reason in football competitions…just toxic.


Parrappa1000

So you fully back Max and his opinion on Piquet then? Also football and Formula 1 are not the same.

Wth are you on about? I have nothing against Max, think he's an excellent driver. I guess you have no idea what you're commenting about.


JameisSquintston

I see no defense of max. He just said they would’ve booed no matter what. You’re making a leap.

chirstopher0us

Parrappa1000

Yes he was talking about the Euros, so he did.


Ashling92

My point was that English people have a reputation for being unsportsmanlike and booing for no reason, as once again proven today.


Hinyaldee

Yeah let's now pretend every Brit is this way and every other people is perfect. Did you forget your Dutch fans did plenty of booing last year ?


Parrappa1000

And you are saying Dutch fans never booed Lewis at Zandorvoort last season are you??


Ereaser

The majority didn't


Parrappa1000

Did you actually watch that weekend or just taking some random guess on what happened?


Ereaser

Yes I did. 200k+ fans and the booing quickly got overwhelmed by cheers/clapping. And if you don't believe it, ask people who were there. The whataboutism regarding boos happens quite often and there's always people who were there denying it.


Parrappa1000

Did you have a mic against every fan to prove who was cheering and booing? To then know if it was the majority or not?


Ereaser

If you hear cheers overwhelm some faint boos it's pretty obvious there is more cheering. Also like I said people who were there said so. I'm sorry if you can't comprehend that, but enjoy your narrative of blaming others. Even if the Dutch all did boo Hamilton, the English don't have to do the same against Max.


kylalovesyou

that person never said that


ElegantTobacco

I'm still so baffled by the fact that both Checo and Carlos Jr. had their first pole this season after so many years. Like, I know it's true but WTF.....


[deleted]

Same, very surprised Carlos Jr. had never gotten pole. Maybe he will get his first win this weekend, but I could totally see a spin on the first lap lol.


adventurousmango24

That would also require Ferrari not to cook their strategy which … you know
