  1. The only time I decided to NOT wake up to see the race live happens to be the one where Verstappen goes out and Ferrari takes the 1-2. Good thing I saw the rebroadcast with no spoiler and seeing the Red Bull on fire [literally] was cathartic xD Other than that... race felt a bit boring. Sainz managed a perfect race whilst Leclerc tried his best to keep the pace from the McLarens. Alonso pulled a real d**k-move in the end :/
  2. F2 Feature Race was pretty well fought, ending in Enzo Fittipaldi getting the victory in front of Kush Maini and Dennis Hauger (getting 3rd at the last moment). Andrea Kimi Antonelli finished 6th. Italian forums already criticize him for not getting a better position. In all fairness, the kid still need to grow as he skipped F3 right away and must learn how to brake properly... but ending in such a high placement is still worthy of praise for him. F1 race, as always, was a Verstappen snore-fest. The only thing worth mentioning is Oliver Bearman placing 7th. Hands down the "Driver of the Day" in Jeddah. Racing for a prestigious team for two hours with a sore neck in the end in such a short notice was an insane scenario in itself... but the British kid managed to pull out an incredible race for someone still racing in the cadet league. And now... obligatory FP1 Will comedy review
  3. Dammit, I missed the qualifying for Jeddah and I had to see the results. From what I understood the race direction robbed Leclerc of a good time lap in Q1 and Bearman replaced Sainz for this Grand Prix. Meanwhile F2 Sprint Race won by Verschoor and Andrea Kimi Antonelli scored his first point. EDIT: Nevermind. Verschoor disqualified so the victory goes to the norwegian driver Dennis Hauger, followed up by Paul Aron and Enzo Fittipaldi.
  4. I had to post it because it's too hilarious even for non-English speakers
  5. Of course not. I criticize but not Reddit-level of criticism. All I'm saying is Leclerc seemed to have some serious misfortune left from 2023 as he was the only driver with braking issues (after Ferrari had to change a component last-minute) and, with the SF-24 looking very much improved over the previous year, people are hoping it won't happen again or there will be expecting another replay of Max dominating in almost every race.
  6. Didn't watch F3 but the last three laps. Formula 2 dominated by Zane Maloney yet a fun race nonetheless. F1 race turned into the usual Max/Red Bull domination. It would have been a slightly interesting race if Leclerc hadn't problems with the braking that cost him important positions [and points]... but at least Ferrari seems to be confirmed as second force in the championship. FP1Will review incoming
  7. Formula 3 Sprint Race won by British youngster Arvin Lindblad after an intense battle that saw Nikola Tsolov and Laurens Van Hoepen dueling it out from start to finish, only for the former losing performance and finishing 4th while his companion come 2nd and Trident driver Leo Fornaroli picking up the lowest podium place. Dino Beganovic got his race jeopardized. Formula 2 Sprint Race was a fun brawl to watch. Victory by Zane Maloney after a dominating performance. Nothing else to say for the Prema racers, they got into the sidelines where they had pit-stops so... my best guess is they'll focus more on the Feature race. Qualifying went just as many would predict: balanced and well-fought until Mad Max gets the magic lap thanks to a slipstream he got before launching. Looks like we're ready for 2023 Pt.2
  8. At least 100 persons, along Domenicali and Libery Media staff, received an anonymous email containing screenshots of an alleged Chris Horner Whatsapp chat. Well... what an interesting way to kickoff the F1 season.
  9. Reminder for everyone that the Bahrain F1 GP is anticipated by one day (Quali and F2/3 Sprint races on Friday and Feature Races on Saturday) as this Sunday begins Ramadan and it's considered a holy day. Meanwhile have a comedy review
  10. Capcom Cup X (Final Day; Top 16 to Grand Final) Timestamps (Final) final thoughts
  11. I was busy at a local comic-con so I struggled to keep with the Swedish Rally. Esapekka Lappi wins it, making it the second WRC rally to win in his career. Neuville still on the lead but with a very short gap from Elfyn Evans. Good performance from Fourmaux. Hometown hero Oliver Solberg wins the WRC2 category by a landslide.
  12. Last Chance Qualifier (Top 16) Timestamps Top 16 Timestamps Top 8 Final thoughts
  13. Expect me to post FP1Will videos since I love him and his "no holds barred" style of humor. Rally Sweden Day 1 & 2 highlights Man... the big favorites already down?
  14. Formula 3 Driver Grid Once again, I'll be Prema-centered: Dino Beganovic because he's Ferrari alumni and Minì for being my compatriot along with Fornaroli.
  15. Speaking of which: I love how the Antonelli family gave their son Kimi as the second name as a tribute to Raikkonen, given how middle names are entirely optional in Italy
  16. I found a really nifty drivers' grid for this year's F2 My bets will be on Prema Racing because one is a Ferrari alumni (Bearman; hoping to see major improvement this year) and Kimi Antonelli, an Italian with lots of promise. I gloss over him being a racer for Mercedes because I always root for my country first.
  17. I forgot the highlights reel for the WRC Montecarlo Rally Rally Recap Quite a shame Ott Tanak had his rally jeopardized by the black ice. Thankfully Neuville is one of my picks for championship contention so that's a start lol Never say never. I still remember Vettel being in a depressive state during the last years in Ferrari and he got in tip-top shape (racing-wise) when he drove for AM. The real question is who's gonna be first driver between him and Leclerc since he's locked for the Cavallino for a looong time.
  18. I can add the V8 and NASCAR if you want. Unfortunately I can't watch them because they do not broadcast in my country. Kicking off the second month of Motorsport with the sensational news of Lewis Hamilton going to Ferrari next year https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/13061245/lewis-hamilton-to-join-ferrari-for-2025-formula-1-season
  19. Not sure if this thread will be approved but the general gist is to have a thread where we can talk about this year's motorsport championships. Official Championship Calendars Formula 1/2/3 https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2024.html https://www.fiaformula2.com/Calendar https://www.fiaformula3.com/Calendar IndyCar https://www.indycar.com/Schedule World Rally Championship https://www.wrc.com/calendar?menu=menu_wrc_calendar World Endurance Championship https://www.fiawec.com/en/calendar/80 NASCAR https://www.nascar.com/nascar-cup-series/2024/schedule/ V8 Supercars https://www.supercars.com/calendar And what better way to kickstart this year than Ott Tanak winning the shakedown for the Monte Carlo Rally https://www.wrc.com/a/news/w27254_T-nak-tops-Rallye-Monte-Carlo-shakedown-on-Hyundai-return
