Yeah, that’s what’s what I was referencing. don’t really follow Indy car closely but I’ve seen people commenting on that multiple multiple times.

Also, I mean, the way Piastri was poached. I mean, Alpine definitely messed up horribly and they’re the main group to blame. But Zac was definitely instigating shite

And that impacts others how? Yeah, shitty, but to think that Horner and Toto don't do similar things is gullible.

I mean, is there a Team Principle that is universally liked, at least that is successful?

Its no different than Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, etc... The most successful people in competitive fields are straight up assholes.

The difference is I actually like Horner.

*Minus the dick pics.


Fat Brown comes across as a slimy marketing salesman.

Which, admittedly, he does seem to be good at.

Bro, I feel the exact opposite way about both.

He isn’t a team principal.

Also, I mean, why has he been needing to defend himself for his practices if everyone is doing it.

I think it’s a bit of hypocrisy. He says he’s very pro driver and does this stuff.

Honestly, I don’t care. I don’t hate him but I definitely don’t like him (I think the only team principal I do like is James Vowels). But I do think he it’s a valid thing to point out

Especially in the last year, Zac Brown has gotten a reputation of micro-managing driver contracts that has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I don’t remember exact specifics but there was one story about how he signed a driver and immediately cancelled his contract without telling the driver and signing a driver with more money. The initial driver found out via twitter that he was no longer with the team


I don't think Drive to Survive does him any favors either. Dude came out looking like an absolute douche with the whole Piastri signing.

And what has that done for Mclaren? Piastri is arguably the #1 at Mclaren. He went out and got what he wanted and it paid off.

Nice guys finish last when it comes to competitive sporting and the business world.

Anyone see the tin foil/rumors out there?

Alpine's new boss is founder of tech company that Mazepin's dad owned 75% of at one point and Nikita has since posted a winky face and nothing more to Instagram after.

Is the spin returning to F1?

I'm not arguing against it, going and getting him was the right move. He's obviously one of the best drivers on the grid. Just saying how it came across.

I prefer the chaos of many drivers being capable of winning the next race. So F1 right now is amazing for me, and I hope next year it will be even better, where no one builds up a big early season lead and maybe we have seven race winners as well.
Well said.

Its the only way the window licker would ever win a championship. And I'm not even sure he could have won it last year if he was in the Red Bull and Latifi was his second driver

I've said several times that I would be shocked if Honda and Aramco agreed to partner with Aston Martin with one seat tied up for Lance. It doesn't matter what they pretend to portray about Lance's seat, the proof will be the 2026 driver lineup. Now if they confirm Adrian Newey, I will be triple-shocked if Lance is one of the drivers in 2026. Sure, there is still a decent probability of that happening, but c'mon, what a waste that would be.

Nah, still think Max goes to Merc. They have shown they are still competent in building a car over the last 4-5 races.


AM hasn't shown shite outside of the Alonso push the first few races last year. Solid mid-pack, but nowhere on the same level as

RB
Merc
Mclaren
Ferrari
