In this case I think it’s more than self promotion and shit stirring. He knows the future of red bull after Max isn’t in a Formula 1 car, and that’s kind of his job to take care of.

Checo is doing Checo things, forever trying to replicate his last to first drive.

Danny is more of a supersub driver than a prospect driver at this point. It’s pitiful, but it is what it is.

Yuki shows flashes of brilliant driving but just can’t seem to impress anyone at Red Bull enough to be considered for the main team.

That leaves basically no one besides the academy drivers, and I think the point he’s making is it doesn’t make a lot of sense to tread water with ‘average’ drivers when you could be developing someone else with a higher ceiling.

Not a surprise but also not exactly the most desirable place to be at the moment. Hopefully they can turn it around and Pierre can do more than play bumper cars at the back.

I was fortunate to miss her first couple appearances on an F1 broadcast but apparently she’s now part of the F1TV crew occasionally, just like James Hinchcliffe.

She’s so out of touch with the sport that the questions and comments she make sound extremely awkward and out of place. I will literally mute the TV when she’s on, or fast forward if I’m watching a recording.

Give me more strategists in the comm box and F1 academy drivers joining the broadcast and I’ll be happy. Danica is like my F1 kryptonite.

I’m all for women in motorsports as long as those women aren’t Danica Patrick.

Please stop being a part of F1 Danica. Thank you.

An impressive distance to fall in such a short time.

I’d pay good money to know what Ted is thinking, and even more money to erase it from my memory forever.

Christian’s Horndog has entered the chat.

Congratulations Charles!

Stroll: I choose death.

It looks like Estie Bestie is blasting off agaaaaaaaain

Glad to see everyone walk away from a big shunt.

Which would be DQ from quali and pitlane starts I believe…

I don’t remember the last time we saw a full Monaco quali without a yellow/red flag. Well done lads.

Q1, holy fuck

It’s about to get spicy.

PLEASE BE RAPID MCLAREN

FWIW I greatly prefer reposted content that’s curated by someone rather than reposting bots so the type of stuff you’re posting has been great, thanks!

Thankfully Lemmy lets me disable bot accounts but I miss out on a lot of auto posted content because of it. Just know you aren’t posting into the darkness, we see you!

I appreciate your work so I don’t have to view reddit.

My friend’s dad works there.

I’m not trying to give a writing prompt for a F1 fanfic but Max, Lando, Charles, Oscar, Carlos, and Fernando in the wet in Monaco quali sounds like a hell of a time to me.
