Formula 1 talk.

Not a fan of Max and Horner but there is absolutely no place for booing at a f**king launch event. Totally ridiculous.
They could boo the cringeworthy ’launch event’ if they like. But the British ‘fans’ look stupid and shallow from my view.

Agreed. The track is one thing. Drivers expect it there. But at this special event not a good look.

Well they do have a right to their own opinion however if they have nothing good to say, then they should have stayed quiet. Which would have been really funny if the entire arena was dead quiet when RB came out LOL.

That would have been a more sensible option. As an F1 fan from the UK (originally) it was embarrassing to watch.

We’ll agree to disagree. But over time I don’t recall you ever going after anybody other then Verstappen. As far as going his way, please. I have no issue with anybody that speaks their unabridged mind. I get it though, Verstappen doesn’t give a shxt. Like Vettel, Kimi, etc. It’s much easier to go throufh life knowing who you are and embracing it as opposed to trying to pander to whatever look at me moment someone else deems is necessary.

Absolutely not. I acknowledge that Max is an incredibly talented driver. His record speaks for itself. But he continues to show his immaturity every time something doesn’t go his way. I partially blame Jos for encouraging this behavior. I am far from the only one who feels this way. Only Max fans refuse to see it.

Completely agree with this. I’m of the belief that Redbull gets sooo much hate because they’re the only non car manufacturer in the field. I get it, but do find it humorous. I just want good racing, leave all the other teenage girl drama elsewhere.

Back in the Red Bull days I couldn’t stand Seb. Thought he was an ass. Today I love him to death. He did what Max hasn’t done, at least to date, matured. Kimi also speaks his mind but does it in a way that draws people to him, not away from him. Max tends to just piss people off with his attitude. It’s not what he does, it’s the way he does it.

I’ve never seen them as any different. They’ve both caught/catch a fair amount of hate, elite success does spawn that from many. We can argue about it being a lack of maturity, I see at as he has zero hesitation in going for the opportunity. That itself can go sideways in many cases, which it has. But lets be honest they’ve all been there and do it. Some it just gets amplified more when it doesn’t work out.

Shocking!!

And whoever is doing the photography and social media for Ferrari is doing a fantastic job. They’re really hyping everything up.

I wonder who was sandbagging today.

Just the first 20 drivers!

19 drivers you mean. Stroll doesn’t sandbag, that’s just the way he is.

Didn’t Red Bull have something similar last year? Teams are taking design cues from each other. Red Bull had some Merc 2023
designs on their 2024 car. Now Mercs 2025 car has design elements from the 2024 RB. It’s going to be an interesting season.

Looking at 2022 cars vs 2025, they’ve evolved a lot.
