Ag nee my fok Ferrari.
Iāve coined a new phrase: WTF - What the Ferrari
Being an optimistic Ferrari fan is REALLY fucking with my superbruā¦but hey, got that correct pole pick!
I went up 1 this week, but the Ferrari fan with the most explaining to do has to be @Dragonic. Heās leading the MEW Pool by 2 clear points from @Solitude and won the Yellow Cap for the best round this weekā¦
P1 baby, P1!
Hahahaha Iām a fan but also a realist(pessimist?)
so weird, this is my best season of superbru yet. Iām leading 2 pools.
Red Bull Porche F1 Racing Team. So wow, much zoom!
Porscheās intention to acquire a 50% stake in Red Bullās Formula 1 operation ahead of its planned entry in 2026 has been revealed in a document published by Moroccoās Conseil de la Concurrence.
I saw it
Im heartbroken, but happy for him. It is time to let the younger kids in, plus he wants to do so much more.
Sad to see another āold timerā move on, but very happy for him at the same time. Going on to greater things to fix the world no doubt! Guess he eventually started the Instagram account so that he can post pictures of his travels, food, and family from next year. As it should be.
Also, Sebās hair game in the last few months has been wicked good!
Im just happy he is leaving on his own terms and not forced out. I also appreciate that he is back in love with the sport. He seems to have found that passion again since joining Aston. For that, I will be always grateful. The ferrari move was still his worst choice. But I get that all drivers want to drive for them.
I love that he is putting his family first which is something he has always done.
Its the comeback of the year!

2022 Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix
Round 13 | Hungaroring | Budapest
The last Hungarian GP was a chaotic humdinger that ended with Esteban Ocon scoring his maiden F1 win. The damp surface was a factor in the chaos at the start last year. This year might be wet
Lewis Hamilton started brilliantly from pole, but the same could not be said for his teammate Valtteri Bottas, who fell back to fifth from second after a slow getaway. To make matters worse, the Finn then hit the back of Lando Norris heading into Turn 1, bumping him into Max Verstappen, before Bottas himself took out Sergio Perez, forcing both drivers to retire.
The race was then red-flagged, with the restart producing one of the most bizarre sights in Formula 1 history, Hamilton lining up alone on the grid as the lights went out as the remaining runners ducked into the pit lane for slick tyres. And when Hamilton himself then boxed, Ocon took a lead which he would hold onto for the rest of the race.
It wasnāt just last year though. The Hungarian Grand Prix has had its fair share of dramatic moments through the years. Hereās five of them, including Rubeuns Barichelloās catastrophic rear suspension failure in 2003 that could have ended a lot worse than it did.
The Hungaroring
The lack of straights at the Hungaroring often sees it compared to a karting circuit ā and itās true, the resemblance is uncanny. With several series of corners to string together, teams opt for Monaco levels of downforce, with a well-sorted chassis tending to be rewarded over horsepower given the short straights on offer. Itās a challenge many of the drivers relish, however, with finding a good rhythm key to setting fast lap times.
Time to Race
Weāre still in Central Europe for the GP this weekend, so the session times make for a sensible viewing time. If the weather stays clear, it might even be a good way to get some wors on the braai on Sunday.
Weather With You
And while our weather is looking crisp and clear, the same canāt be said for the weather around Budapest this weekend. Saturday practice and qualifying sessions will almost certainly be wet affairs, with the chance of rain through Saturday at +75%.
The rainfall probability for Sunday is much lower (around 20% at race start time) but will still be a lot of moisture around, and the temperatures will be a lot cooler as well.

was never a Seb fan(probably initially coz he wasnāt a Ferarri driver and kept winning races lol, but I like to tell myself that itās similar to Hamilton where he won championships where his only rival was his team mate)
But Iāve come to dig his off track personality after he left Ferarri(agree Ferarri did him wrong but the experience probably humbled him a bit? I say humbled because I didnāt like the fact that he left Red Bull immediately after their car could not win him a World Championship anymore(speculation but thatās what it looked like)).
Going to miss that persona and the random jokes(never forget the Jelly Beans) but I agree, think itās a good decision from him.
The ink on Sebās resignation letter has hardly had time to dry and weāre already discussing his replacementā¦
Theyāre pitching:
- Hulkenberg
- Alonso
- Albon
- Schumacher
- Ricciardo
- de Vries
Names floating around Reddit and Twitter:
- Ricciardo
- de Vries
- Piastri
- Hulkenberg
- Latifi
- Drugovich
Not wanting to be sour, but I hope D Ric moves on. McL can do with another young talent, most probably will be an IndyCar driver.
If this is the case AMR F1 will have the most money and the least pointsā¦
