@mclaincausey HAHAHHA BRILLIANT!!

I tried to post some of his garage cutaways but it would not work. Trying again.

Well I got one. Couldn’t get Merc or RB to work.

Ok jumping thru hoops to get RBR:

And Merc:

Look closely. There’s details like the lost diamond from Monaco and other amazing things in these.

@mclaincausey ROFL the Spicebus!!!!!

so much gold in these. Lewis's wardrobe....the redbull catering HAHA

[mclaincausey]

I know. The cutaways are a little old so some of the humor may be lost to context folks have forgotten but so many Easter eggs. Funny funny man he is.

Anyone dig rally? I really love it and am gonna get back into it next season. I will root either for Ford or Yote Gazoo

[WhiskeySandwich]

@mclaincausey I love rally but don’t really know where to reliably watch it. Same as F1 until just last year when I found it on Hulu with the Disney/espn triple pack

[mclaincausey]

@WhiskeySandwich unfortunately for me it’s gonna require a subscription

What on god’s green earth is FIA doing with announcing an investigation into a “conflict of interest” for the Wolffs? Of course there’s a conflict of interest: a FOM member is married to a team owner and principal. There’s nothing wrong with that and nothing they should be able to do about that.

The question is whether she acted on that conflict of interest, and they should investigate quietly if and only if they have non-tabloid evidence of such and only speak about it when they’re ready to bring formal accusations.

I doubt there’s another organization capable of doing what FIA does for F1 but this is absolutely pathetic and embarrassing.

Just when I thought F1 would never interest me again.....

@Giles Hamilton in Red…

[WhiskeySandwich]

That is an interesting change up. I for one like the Ferrari pair and thought they did well together despite strategy and pit issues. An early start to the 2025 silly season?

[mclaincausey]

Great for the sport. I feel like they need a strong driver like Schumacher was. Leclerc is a great qualifier at least and maybe a great racer but he goes along to get along and doesn’t challenge Ferrari’s dumb decisions enough.

[mclaincausey]

Sainz to RBR and Albon to Merc?

[louisbosco]

@Giles Guess you'll be wearing red next season?

[louisbosco]

doesn't matter who goes where. but I'm questioning the motive for it to be announced this early, and better yet, the 2024 season hasn't even started. Heck the cars hasn't even been revealed.

@louisbosco
No different to football would have been found out sooner rather than later

Plus from Mercs perspective Russel moves up to spot 1 and Lewis will be in the shadow much like last season just now they can actually admit to it

Curious as to the end of this season as to who will move to Mercedes

[mclaincausey]

Even though it seems like a vicious move, part of the rationale for the early notification could have been to give Merc time to prepare. I also think a farewell tour will be kind of cool and bittersweet.

[goosehd]

…starting to wonder if there was some truth to the Red Bull/Hamilton rumours and he has been looking around for a while.

Go get your last title with Mercedes, that would be so brilliant. Especially if it went down to the last race of the season and Lewis won because the race director made the wrong call....

[mclaincausey]

I’d love that. Then honor the tradition of a former champion languishing at Ferrari

But seriously I hope he gets 9 or 10
