Pretty cool if anything actually comes of it.

Marios life story is incredible.

Actually Michael will be running it.

Yeah I know that. But Michael is literally just a random guy somewhere if it wasn't for his father's path.

My understanding is that now that the FIA has given their nod, it's damn near impossible for the teams or Liberty Media to deny them. I'm hearing it's basically a done deal now.

MAX to win sprint and LANDO to podium sprint: 2.15
MAX to win race and LANDO to podium race: 2.10

Not a ton of value, but very safe bets IMO.

Pretty decent, more than doubling your money and I'd definitely say that there's a higher than 50% of it happening.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

I'm going to be in maranello next spring. Probably do the factory tour and check out all the F1 history stuff. Take a gander at fioroano, etc.

Can't wait. Probably will spend a full day there.

Yeah I expected those numbers to be below 2.0, so I grabbed them quick. Just need checo to keep being checo and I should be cashing in.

I hope this comes to fruition, the grid needs more teams, I remember when there were so many teams they would have to work just to make beat other teams into the race.

Sadly not a lot of the early Ferrari F1 cars survived, Enzo Ferrari used to junk them. Looking back on it, it's a real shame.

I didn't know he was the race engineer, AND car engineer in 1996 (williams), and 1998 (mclaren). He WON both of those championships LOL. Arguably some of the "least talented" F1 champion drivers. Just a MOGGER car, and apparently he is an A++ race engineer as well.

Adrian Newey is truly a fkling race car God. Don't think anyone else just "gets it" the way he does. Also humble AF in every single interview or podcast I've ever heard him in.

Yeah, when he inevitably retires (and it's sooner rather than later), F1 will lose a GIANT.

I think he's only ever built one bad car in his career.

I will say though, have to disagree with HMFIC on one point, Mika Hakkinen was a real talent, and as much as I like Damon Hill, yeah, he was not an awe-inspiring talent, but still, no one wins a WDC without being damned good.

Who are you comparing Mika Hakkinen to that makes him one of the least talented F1 champions??

The list is very long; senna, prost, Schumacher, Alonso. Mika slots more under the category of "the rest of them" rather than a standout talent. Schumacher was head & shoulders above mika in the 98 season in terms of raw driving talent.

It's funny I read Damon hills autobiography and even damon admits that he never found "the zone" while driving except for 1 lap in suzuka lmao.

Verstappen seems to only ever be within "the zone"

The only man Schumacher ever feared on track was Hakkinen, and he was arguably better than Alonso.

I don't think he's rest of them, he's not at the top of the list but I've got him higher than the rest of them

God dam lance stroll pushing his personal trainer and that post quali interview. I get the vibe he's been told to improve or he's out. Legit feels like this might be last season

[Barteh]

Norris fukked it up.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Norris fukked it up.

god damn.

chit-tier q3 for him.. wtf man.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

I don't think MAX had a single track limits in that entire qualifying.... Did he?

Guy is just operating in a different league.

[cobhc]

> Teammate is out of Q3
> Sets pole
> Walks to podium while every other driver is on their last outlap

What a phuckin' chad Max is.

Gonna lol at you soyboys hesitating the GOAT title on him.

How can he be out of daddy's team? LOL.

[cobhc]

To be fair his dad gave him plenty of chances and he's just been an embarrassment. It's cutting into profits.

They'd easily be up there in constructors getting a better payout and more sponsors if not for his son.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

It's wild seeing Stroll & Sergio getting mogged this hard by their teammate. Must be crying themselves to sleep every night at this point.... Although I don't think Stroll even wants to drive anymore TBH.

[cobhc]

Piastri got track limits too.

Brutal.

[Gringo12]

Not officially but he abandoned his last lap in q3 because he lost it and went out the lines.


Stroll could 100% be boxed out. Aston is a serious team and sponsors and investors aren't gonna hang around with only 1 serious driver on the team. All that money for wind tunnels, r&d , all these top engineers they are signing from other teams. There's zero point to that if you're running with 1 driver. I honestly feel like lance has been told he's being dropped unless he picks it up and it's hitting him that he can't.

No reason for him to be in f1. He's alrdy rich, can't be for clout coz he's the least liked person on the grid.


Fckn checo lol

Atleast the odds for mclaren to podium should be higher now



Edit: $3.75 for alonso to finish within p6 and piastri to finish within p8 in the sprint race . Um is this free money?

I just saw the guy's post quali interview and I think you're right lol, he looks broken.



I'm calling it now....Perez and Stroll both out for next season. No idea who either team replaces them with however.

If Perez is out they'll probably replace him with Ricciardo and give Lawson the seat at Alpha Tauri. Not like it matters that much. There's only a few guys in the world who could compete with Max in that car imo. Alonso, Hamilton and Norris and that's probably it. And when I say compete I don't mean win, just not get embarrassed and if Max gets a 5 place grid penalty at least pick up the win.

Unless his contract carries some sort of no compete clause in some form, any team with a vacancy would be interested in getting a hold of him for his feedback about the RB operation and the car if nothing else

Don't agree with Hamilton

He's above average, sure - good driver in what was an exceptional car.

Ok boys I've loaded up on fernando top 6 and piastri top 8 in thr sprint

Pray for me

Fuark.

I got max to win AND Norris to podium for both sprint and race.

I've written off Norris to podium the race, so need him to deliver today....

Hard to find value this week . This tyre debacle could be funny if teams have to make 3 stops. The value from I see seems to be in thr lle misc bets like first team/driver to retire.

They've just made the track more narrow, could be worth putting money on either sergeant ($11.50) or perez ($18) to retire first
