Lewis and Zhou at the start

We'll see how the tires hold but the Papayas look for real. I keep waiting for them to implode

Hearing SHARL and his engineer talking on the radio every week is just sad

hes got to be so tired of their shit, but where could he go?

Piastri has been a nice surprise. Very good driver and nice guy. I would love to have seen the top 4 on the grid have raced with equal cars. Checo proving that the RB is a rocket ship. What the fuck is the DRS trick? Has no other team worked it out yet?

 

[Wolfman21]

the addition of Mclaren to the non Red Bull competitive teams has spiced up the last few race weekends.

F1 should give Max the Bill Elliott Challenge. Have him start two laps down and see if he can win the race.

 

[Wolfman21]

welp, the only drama left in this race in regards to who will win is if it rains or not

 

[Wolfman21]

I think Verstappen's engineer is ready for the summer break, lol

 

[Wolfman21]

lmao....only about 8 cars had finished the race and Max was already parked at the podium

You listening to the Becoming Earnhardt podcast? Junior does a good job putting on his NASCAR historian hat here.

M'wife has gotten into F1 racing. We turned the TV on one Sunday morning and an F1 race was on and she got into it. Since then she's watches the practices, qualifying and the races along with the Netflix series.

I enjoy watching Bull Riding with her, which she got into several years ago. But racing is tough for me.

I asked if she was becoming a NASCAR fan. She said no, but I'm sus.

 

[adchester]

She'll prolly get disinterested again once she realizes Max will win every race for the next 5 years

 

[jamesnathan]

I watched more of yesterday's race than any other. The rain coming right after they started made things interesting. But Max, despite falling way back, totally is the most dominant driver out there right now and it's not even close. It would take a major mistake from his team or an accident to keep him from winning anything right now. It's quite impressive.

This cup car absolutely sucks. When you can’t fucking pass at Darlington, you know something is wrong with it.

Where’s David Coulthard to call someone a monkey again?

He's slow because the hydraulics on his car make it heavier, no?

There Were So Many Cautions In The IndyCar Finale The Safety Car Ran Out Of Fuel

In one of the weirdest events we've seen in motorsport, the pace car in yesterday’s IndyCar Finale had to return to the pits as it had run out of fuel after being used so much during the race. During the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, there were so many crashes followed by restarts that...

ho lee fuk, could you imagine if that was an EV leading the Indycar field? The rednecks would still be howling.

 

[OU11]

They finally did it thanks to SAINZ

missed the best race in quite a while today

 

[Hollywood]

Meh. Street races are horrible anyway.

 

[OU11]

Piastri is the truth

 

[hayvis]

Piastri is such a surprise. Nice guy, great driver, and made the right decision to go to Mclaren.

 

[adchester]

Literally almost killed half the grid today for the sweet sweet Qatari oil money, F1 is such a clown show lmao

 

[OU11]

Danny out qualified Checo… L.M.A.O.

 

[OU11]

I love these graphics

 

[hayvis]

I hate the Ferraris. Every race they qualify in pole I get excited that it isn't Verstappen, forgetting that they will cook the tires and fall down the grid by the second half of the race.

 

[Hollywood]

lol, the Camaro pace car broke down while leading the field under caution

 

[kella]

what is actually good competitive racing that is available televised over here? ideally something where they drive things that resemble regular cars and isn't Nascar

 

[Hollywood]

Where is “over here”? You overseas?

If ur stateside, SCCA usually has some racing on CBS Sports or something The Spec Miata series is fucking awesome.

Trans-Am series is good too, I think they’re owned by Nascar actually.

 

[Hollywood]

MX-5 Cup cars were tested at Martinsville last month. Dale Jr and Bobby Labonte were some of the drivers in the test.

 

[kella]

let's start with something I don't have to illegally stream or pay exorbitant monthly fees to watch where the winner isn't decided what feels like halfway thru the season?

mx5s would be cool.

Jesus Ferrari

 

[Hollywood]

Nascar season over, which means they’ve probably shown this for the last time.

 

[OU11]

Max is slowly turning into one of my favorites

 

[goblue96]

Our viewers are old BOOMERS or illiterate ZOOMERS. Where can we put our product where they can't find it? Streaming of course. GJGE, NASCAR.

As part of the deals, Fox will get 14 Cup Series races annually in the first portion of the season, including the Daytona 500. From there, the next five Cup races will be on Amazon Prime Video, marking the first time in NASCAR history its top series will be exclusively streamed.

Warner Bros. Discovery will take over after Amazon's races and carry the next five races. Those will be simulcast on TNT and streamed on the Max service.

 

[Hollywood]

Remember how Nascar got to be on Fox and NBC to begin with? It was people complaining about the race being on CBS one week, ESPN the next, TNN the week after that, then ABC carried 4 races a year, then the 600 on TBS, then back to ESPN….lol.

 

[OU11]

wat

 

[Hollywood]

I guess Lewis is finally used to not winning.
