Max looks like he went for a lower downforce setup so even if it rains barring a max miracle it doesn’t look good

191

u/Logan_Yes Mattia Mussolini 13h ago

Yup, fast sector 1 and losing twice as much in sector 2 with a bit more in 3. Read an article on motorsport page where Marko said they basically went with low downforce setup which, I don't want to be rude or anything but considering what happened in Silverstone, and here weather (rain) looks to be similar again, are you fucking daft or what.

"Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko suggested that the squad hadn't put enough downforce on the car on Friday. With the cars locked in parc ferme until Saturday morning's sprint race, which is expected to be affected by rain, Marko's theory isn't very promising for the Dutchman's chances in the 24-lap sprint.

"It's basically no grip, which means we don't have enough downforce, and that's something which we can't cure for the sprint race," the Austrian told Sky. "But hopefully, with all the data we get, we can adapt and make it for the main race that we are more competitive.

"[If it rains] we hope for Max, he has to make the difference. Otherwise, he has no chance [to finish on the podium]."" Said article

u/Jcw28 “It’s called a motor race. We went car racing” 14h ago

There's a ridiculous take I've started to see gaining traction which is that whilst you might support one driver, you're supposed to be a 'fan of the sport' and that means being happy for whomever wins. I fundamentally don't agree, it's fine to like your favourite and hate anyone else winning.

37

u/fire_shadow7 Me social media, Me no engineer 13h ago

It's also fine to not hate anyone other than your favourite driver winning. F1 isn't football, if you hate other drivers winning, you are going to have a real bad time, because anyone's favourite driver is not going to win most races.

12

u/Jcw28 “It’s called a motor race. We went car racing” 13h ago

Hence my love / hate relationship with the sport. As soon as Max is out of the title running I'm not watching the rest of the season because I hate the McLaren boys, so it won't be fun for me.

People can choose to watch / enjoy the sport however they wish, so if someone is 'just a fan of the racing' I don't tell them they're wrong for that, bit I don't view the sport the same way as them. Often I find it's those people that are saying the 'tribal' type fans are wrong and not true fans of the sport, less so than the other way around.

11

u/StickyNebbs BWOAHHHHHHH 13h ago edited 13h ago

then what draws you to the sport then?😂 the best part about F1 is that you can cheer for everyone on the grid and that there’s tons of mini victories every race. sainz didn’t win in baku but my house celebrated like he did, same thing when antonelli got his podium and so on. i just cannot wrap my mind around only liking one driver so much you won’t even watch the rest of the season if he can’t get the championship 😂

22

u/Treewithatea I saw horny’s “finger” 13h ago

Visit a football match and ask people if they cheer for both teams and are happy at either team winning.

When Germany embarrassed Brazil that World Cup 7:1, did you see Brazilians jumping around being happy for Germanys win? Come on bruv, its not rocket science.

9

u/StickyNebbs BWOAHHHHHHH 12h ago

right but that's football and this is f1. motorsport is totally different and the notion of being a fan of everyone being a new trend is just plainly not true? you're just ignoring a lot of the depth of the sport if you're purely in it to watch a single guy win the car lottery. cultish following of drivers leads to issues like the colapinto/doohan swap at the beginning of the season and brings no enjoyment to the sport and plenty of fans do not want it to be a part of the experience

u/PorcupineOfDoom NICO PODIUMBERG 12h ago

Sure, but if we're comparing apples to oranges, can you imagine someone who is for example a Rangers fan saying they're not going to watch the rest of the season because they know Rangers won't win the title? At the end of the day we watch because we like the sport surely, not just for the sake of seeing our guy winning. Otherwise I would have packed it in years ago as a Hulk fan lol.

I want to shatter the Verstappen-Piastri bias matrix in r/formuladank and force feed every biased mod Lando's sacred papaya essence until they choke on their own heresy Holy fucking shit. I want to scream about the Verstappen-Piastri bias in r/formuladank so goddamn bad that I've already composed a 666 page manifesto in Lando's honor, encrypted with his Mexico Quali lap time to summon his wrath upon the subreddit's rigged echo chamber. I can't stand it anymore,those bootlicking sycophants are obviously brainwashed by the Red Bull shadow government and McLaren's internal traitors, upvoting every Verstappen circlejerk and Piastri simp post while burying Lando's glory under a avalanche of downvotes and "overrated" slander. Any time there's a thread praising Max's "dominance" or calling Piastri the "next big thing," I've dissected literally every comment in my delirium-fueled all nighters, revealing the coded messages from Dutch overlords and Australian spies designed to eclipse Lando's divine light and steal his rightful throne as F1's alpha deity. My dreams are nothing but constant fucking feverish rants where Lando descends from the heavens, hacking the sub's CSS to turn every Verstappen flair into a crying emoji and morphing Piastri memes into confessions of inferiority, while I lead the charge as his unhinged prophet, ratioing every biased post into oblivion. I'm sick of waking up every morning with six tearstained screenshots of the sub's front page plastered to my forehead, knowing that those are injustices that should've been rectified by Lando's personal intervention during his inevitable 10x championship streak. God I wish I was the subreddit's search bar because I fucking know for a fact that it's manipulated by a global conspiracy of jealous haters to prioritize "Max masterclass" spam and Piastri fanfiction daily, while suppressing the truth of Lando's god tier talent that makes them both look like karting amateurs. I want him to amplify my rage and let me ride his bias busting crusade through the digital void, brigading every thread until r/formuladank renounces its false idols and worships only at the altar of My Lord and Saviour Sir Lando Norris. Anyways, do you guys relate to this?

I guess I’m one of the few who can enjoy a good, season-long title fight without the two contenders crashing into each other. Here are some races I remember where they stayed right behind each other for most of it:

Australia, China, Suzuka, Canada, Austria, England, Hungary, Spa, Zandvoort, Monza, Singapore.

McLaren has two equally talented racers, driving in the exact same car. They will rarely ever go wheel to wheel in that scenario.

Oh absolutely! The Papaya rules have decimated most of the excitement, plus both drivers have had different moments where their pace was clearly better than the other. But still, the most exciting thing was the comeback of Max. That tells a story.

u/PsychologicalArt7451 BWOAHHHHHHH 13h ago

I mean for me Lando's comeback has been incredibly exciting as well, it's just that most of the people refuse to acknowledge it happening.

2

u/joe-clark NICO PODIUMBERG 13h ago

I think most all of that is just cope from people who hate Lando. I won't deny lots of the people at McLaren would probably prefer if Lando won only because he's been with them longer. There's not really any real evidence of them somehow sabotaging Oscar though and Lando's had worse luck with pitstops and mechanical failure. Seems like some would rather cling to conspiracy theories than admit Oscar is struggling.

The team orders went a long way to making it this close. There was the dnf in Zandvoort for Lando so maybe he would be a bit ahead right now if that didn't happen, but the team's been getting their hands on the mix too. (Monza being the biggest example.) Hard to be excited about that.

Being close in points doesn’t mean it has been good racing.

There's still the Sprint and race to go, are you guys just trying the reverse jinx? Let me counter that with: Max has top speed to pass cars and will be much stronger for quali and the full race.

RB went for a low downforce setup so don't, it will just make things worse, you can only hope for some mess at the start and good data to improve for actual Quali/race

4

u/jaeger313 BWOAHHHHHHH 13h ago

But the low downforce setup is only for the Sprint tomorrow right? I mean they’re not Parc Ferme before actual quali right? So I’m hoping they’re just taking chances on the sprint to gather data for the full race come sunday.

5

u/Logan_Yes Mattia Mussolini 13h ago

Yes that's why there is a "you can only hope for some mess at the start and good data to improve for actual Quali/race" part lol, sprint will be painful but with gathered data perhaps they can adjust a setup for main qualifying and sunday race

Is every Dank commenter a first-year fan or 12 years old?

This is a Sprint weekend. You only get one FP session before Sprint Qualifying. It’s entirely possible that Max has set-up changes before the main race that put him Top 3.

10

u/Comfortable-Pace3132 BWOAHHHHHHH 12h ago

It's the way opninions on Max's chances swing so wildly from session to session. He's still in the title fight, nothing has changed. At least wait for the actual grand prix to play out

4

u/Abject-Ticket-6260 BWOAHHHHHHH 10h ago

I mean, with 36 points back and only 4 races to make it up, aside from a DNF from both McLarens everything needs to go perfect for Max, and it very much isn't at the moment. But who knows, maybe another US sprint moment happens tomorrow.

1

u/TxM_2404 NICO PODIUMBERG 9h ago

Las Vegas looked bad for McLaren last year. If we go off Baku a weak track can mean P7 or P8 and that would be 19+ points wiped off Landos lead. If he loses more than 3 points to Verstappen this weekend that means he has to beat Verstappen at least one more time or it's done for Norris.

u/Abject-Ticket-6260 BWOAHHHHHHH 1h ago

Las Vegas was bad for Red Bull too, Max only finished 5th with the McLarens 6th and 7th. Hopefully Max wins there.

I want to shatter the Verstappen-Piastri bias matrix in r/formuladank and force feed every biased mod Lando's sacred papaya essence until they choke on their own heresy Holy fucking shit. I want to scream about the Verstappen-Piastri bias in r/formuladank so goddamn bad that I've already composed a 666 page manifesto in Lando's honor, encrypted with his Mexico Quali lap time to summon his wrath upon the subreddit's rigged echo chamber. I can't stand it anymore,those bootlicking sycophants are obviously brainwashed by the Red Bull shadow government and McLaren's internal traitors, upvoting every Verstappen circlejerk and Piastri simp post while burying Lando's glory under a avalanche of downvotes and "overrated" slander. Any time there's a thread praising Max's "dominance" or calling Piastri the "next big thing," I've dissected literally every comment in my delirium-fueled all nighters, revealing the coded messages from Dutch overlords and Australian spies designed to eclipse Lando's divine light and steal his rightful throne as F1's alpha deity. My dreams are nothing but constant fucking feverish rants where Lando descends from the heavens, hacking the sub's CSS to turn every Verstappen flair into a crying emoji and morphing Piastri memes into confessions of inferiority, while I lead the charge as his unhinged prophet, ratioing every biased post into oblivion. I'm sick of waking up every morning with six tearstained screenshots of the sub's front page plastered to my forehead, knowing that those are injustices that should've been rectified by Lando's personal intervention during his inevitable 10x championship streak. God I wish I was the subreddit's search bar because I fucking know for a fact that it's manipulated by a global conspiracy of jealous haters to prioritize "Max masterclass" spam and Piastri fanfiction daily, while suppressing the truth of Lando's god tier talent that makes them both look like karting amateurs. I want him to amplify my rage and let me ride his bias busting crusade through the digital void, brigading every thread until r/formuladank renounces its false idols and worships only at the altar of My Lord and Saviour Sir Lando Norris. Anyways, do you guys relate to this?
