2024 Season Grand Prix Megathread

Well...

@mariohomoh❤️❤️❤️

I started reading into too many biased theories and opinions and was taking too much offense in matters which really had no bearing on anything. I've hopefully eliminated it and fingers crossed, this forthcoming season is an enjoyable one. Even if there is domination by one driver or team, I hope to appreciate the spectacle rather than be overly negative as I was last year. Easier said than done but in the grand scheme of things, there are worse things in the world that are happening, so wasting a few hours watching cars go round a track means I'm in a privileged position.

@mariohomohI do think you're right, we won't have much activity until we get the livery launches. It's a shame they're no longer car launches 😭

@TotosHeadphones  I’m with stupid 😁😂 @mariohomoh 

As I tend to have more than a passing interest in current culture and politics etc/.  I always watch and  get any news or other information from media channels I don’t allign with.   Firstly cause i don’t see point off being in a echo chamber but also because these days it’s getting more common these channels only have voices that all share the same point off view geeing each other  up other how bad the other side is.  I prefer to listen to people I don’t agree with because it’s really easy to dismiss their bad takes whilst getting a better understanding and pov from the more calmer and  intelligent voices.  This I find helps me keep a strong sense that what I think comes from my own mind.   Not to mention these days so many podcasts where people have actual civilised conversations.   Compared to mainstream is it isn’t opposing voices cutting each other off you can always rely on the interviewer to keep anyone from answering their questions 

@ScarDuck14
well, if you start to consider that today's journalism is mostly generated by AI fed by same misinformation, you can't expect variety of opinions. And same applies to social media feeds.

@mariohomohI know a little about everything.😁. Enough to Understand what the subject is about but not always enough to offer an opinion as fact. May notice in a lot off my posts I’ll say such things as “I’m guessing” “I could be wrong” and “Just thinking out loud”

WELP!!!!! FOM at it again. No andretti then. Such a waste of time going through all that work for nothing. Also madrid is not popular to me (even though i despise barcelona in the game 😂)

i fear Madrid will end up like Valencia. On for a couple of seasons then gone. Bring back malaysia, germany (hockenheim and Nurburgring GP) and id love magny-cours to make a return

So initially I was thinking this is just pure off season boredom speculation...but it really is looking like it's happening 🤯

I can't remember which race this was but I do remember LeClerc saying this....

You could read into Hamilton's and LeClerc burgeoning relationship in the second half of last season and maybe Sainz's drop off when he the team were possibly sounding out Hamilton? Or you could put 2 + 2 together and get pineapple? We shall see

Yeah. This is absolutely wild but i think Hamilton will get on well as Ferrari. Think i need to get my tifosi colours out 😂

What's just happened? 🤯🤯🤯

This to me is either a) I want to drive for Ferrari before I retire or b) i don’t like the future for the car

Peroni ad from a couple of days ago. Silver car in the keychain and #44 on the classic F1 car.

Haha yeah well i think this might be the one to go all in on

Good one Ferrari….  They are their own worst enemy.   What do I mean?     So Sainz and LeCrash….  Both great drivers with  POTENTIAL… So not yet reached their best.   When they do they both are potential world champions.    Plus they both should have years left where they continue to improve.   LeCrash May have already won a championship if  Ferrari made better decisions with Car development and Better Consistency with better calls during Races.   

If Ferrari had a competitive car and got themselves organised.  I vision LeCrash leading the charge and Sainz who’s got great awareness to make great in race calls.  I feel he would naturally help support LeCrash if he’s better placed to win a race and/or title.   He is Coulthard,  Berger and Rubén’s.  Great but not great enough.  

But no Ferrari decide signing a driver who is still great but his best years are behind him.  But moreover.  Aging  is a funny thing.  Hamilton may still be performing at elite levels.  Which levels he may well be at next year.   But there’s also every chance of dropping off.  I doubt it would be huge but enough.   Then every year it’s more likely.   Ferrari having 2 chargers in a team… One wanting desperately prove himself and another desperately want to prove he’s still the GOAT.  It Ferrari then come up with a car capable off winning.  Ferrari can’t get basic calls in race right…  no chance trying to manage those two when they are both think they have a sniff off a win:  

Ferrari as ever heart ruling their head.
