Not too many years ago we didn't have this kind of back and forth.

And last y ear we were probably at 300 paged right now.

I am mad that I am constantly mad at this bottom sticky

He wants JerryTheKing, JamalMurry, gambling and X repost threads to dominate the front page here. It drives engagement.

People casually and civilly discussing a Motorsport doesn’t move the needle for him.

Starting a new thread for every GP instead of a season long thread is a consideration I’ve made for 26. Would surely just get anchored to make room for wnba threads from tacky though.

Good video about the 26 cars

Awesome to see the WDC so close at the end of the season. I'm rooting for Piastri.

Looking forward to the race this weekend at one of the world's classic circuits, Interlagos.

So no ESPN this weekend on YouTube TV still right?
Wtf?

No shite. between this and the AppleTV bullshite next year I may as well just forget about the sport now instead of after the season.

Congrats Lando, I guess.

Honestly, that’s the right mindset.

You’ve gone this long allowing them to fight it out, you can’t favor one now.

Let the cards fall where they may. Highly unlikely Max catches both of them unless they take each other out in one of the last couple of races.

OK, last chance to update your prediction lists for the Brasilian GP. The lists will be locked tonight.

It's a sprint weekend and I think people are saying rain is expected.

Last year had crazy qualy and race results.

In qualy, the VCARB had Yuki qualifying P3 and Lawson P5. Now that I'm thinking about it, I actually remember what happend. In a wet Q3 after a red flag, the cars were lined up at the pit exit for a few minutes before it went green again. The cars at the front of the line would easily be able to do two hot laps, the cars further back might not be able to do two hot laps. VCARB and I think two other teams decided to stay in the garage with the tire warmers on until the pit lane cleared. These cars would only have one hot lap, but their tires were warmer than any car that sat in the pit lane waiting for the green flag. It obviously worked as both VCARBs got into the top 5.

As for the race, I remember on the sighting lap, Stroll went off at the end of the first straight at Turn 4. He went down the paved exit road. He could have made his way back to the track by returning up the road, but he went off road and beached himself. Race over. The finish saw shock podiums for both Alpine cars as they did the smart thing late in the race and stayed out instead of pitting like the frontrunners. I was following Yuki and was hoping for VCARB to make the same decision, but they ALWAYS made the wrong decision. There were so many races where VCARB took the long-shot action of delaying pits stops in hopes of a safety car or red flag, and it never worked. Here they had the chance again to give it a try and this time they decided to go for the conventional action , and Alpine had the last laugh. They shot up the backmarker championship standings and saved their season.

If it's a wet race, I think it's going to be a crapshoot. Good luck with your predictions.

That livery would look a LOT better if they didn't have to hang on to the Duracell and the dark-blue Komatsu colors.

Jos is not wrong. I never suspected that McLaren was screwing him somehow, I think there's just something about the latest car upgrades that make it more difficult for him to drive. And yeah, his reputation is suffering right now--he needs to fight back and keep it close or he's not going to be seen as a top-shelf F1 driver anymore.

All right, predictions for the Brasilian GP are now locked!
