@dvk415 @Unpaid1ntern Kimi, Button, I’m sure there’s examples from pre-80s F1 too

@Unpaid1ntern Any driver with one championship

97 Hill

@MattFontana83 It’s not the case because people have been complaining about the racing not being good enough for 30 god damn years

I'm not near the F1 fan that I am NASCAR or even Indy But F1 to me was always- these cars are built to go as fast as humanly possible on road courses Feel like that's not the case anymore

@TheHalifax08 @wilmotscore There were cars on the grid up to 2.2m wide.

@mcldefender @wilmotscore

The general public has forgotten what led to the introduction of DRS

@TheHalifax08 @wilmotscore You need aero to take a corner fast.

@mcldefender @wilmotscore The speed was never about the aero package, it's down to the power and torque of the engines. DRS had nothing to do with top speed. It was solely implemented to male overtakes easy. The sole problem with aero is the dirty air it creates that disturbs the balance of the car behind

@TheHalifax08 @wilmotscore The 1992 cars were shorter, but they were also wider than they are today…so who doesn’t know what they’re talking about?

@mcldefender @wilmotscore Factually incorrect. The 92 cars were considerably smaller than the 2026 cars, which have been made a bit smaller from last years cars. And you have no idea what fans were complaining about 35 years ago because you weren't even there. I was. The main issues back then -

@f1season2026 @Torque_is_Cheap It’s kinda like Ferrari throughout the 80s

@Torque_is_Cheap He’s lying again about retiring. If he really wanted to retire, he’d just say it and be done with it. Instead, he’s basically saying, “watch what I say—I can claim I’ll retire without actually retiring.”😂

So it IS about the car 🤔

@TheHalifax08 @wilmotscore This goes all the way to 92 when aero changes were brought in to improve racing, but the cars back then were just as wide, if not wider, than the cars we have today. Clearly, reducing the aero is not enough, as fans 35 years ago were complaining cars couldn’t race.

@TheHalifax08 @wilmotscore racing, but the cars were still awful at racing so DRS was brought in. 09 cars are largely based on the previous cars, dating back to 98 regulation change, which itself greatly reduced the size of the cars in a way that was supposed to improve racing…it didn’t.

@tilltabulous @wilmotscore Finding the right balance is hard, earlier in Pirellis run, 2012 or 2013, they went too far in trying to make it so the tires couldn’t last

@wilmotscore Yes i agree, aero is good now, tires could be softer, to stop them going so long....

@ausgreen @wilmotscore @Josema272004 Yea, but there were just other bullshit gimmicks that lead to things championship order dictating whether you got a dry or wet track, cars going faster in Q2 cause they had to run race fuel in Q3…aggregate qualifying…

@wilmotscore @Josema272004 At least qualifying was flat out on every part of the track

@MissOoo1g This right here really says it all. Bro is comparing the sight of grid girls to porn sites he won’t even name yet doesn’t see why this is so fucking weird? You’re literally saying you want these women there so you can jack off to them at the start of a race…wtf

I too am going to start describing overtly sexualised content as a "breath of ftesh air" so it sounds wholesome and not at all like I cant get through a sports broadcast without being a horny freak.

@bessi_marco @AndreaTrespi The irony is that Max had to give the place back or face a penalty, him trying to use this DRS straight to make a pass on Hamilton would’ve invalidated giving the position back and would’ve (should’ve) faced a penalty regardless like Hamilton in Spa 08

@AndreaTrespi nessuno dei 2 voleva passare per primo il detection point del DRS. E siccome Verstappen si è accorto che il trucco non funzionava ha ben pensato di inchiodargli in faccia. Tipica sua reazione quando non gli va tutto dritto...

Hamilton aveva la prima e la terza corsia libera e ha comunque deciso di piantarsi dietro Verstappen.

@asiddhi0001 @noobbricks @UnbiasedFIA So let that driver out your life on the line with no consequence?

@mcldefender @noobbricks @UnbiasedFIA Putting another drivers life on the line is never the solution

Remove the FIA from that season, replace it with a court that follows the rules to the absolute milimeter, and Hamilton doesn't even step into Abu Dhabi with chances at the WDC Same agenda as always, yet reality hasn't changed and won't ever be changed

@Unpaid1ntern Apparently they jerked off to the grid girls?

all the people saying they miss it just confuse me because genuinely what’s there to miss? they stood beside the signs and held umbrellas I think (I don’t even remember) how was that a core part of your viewing experience in a CAR RACE

grid girls being removed has not changed my viewing experience in any way. it’s a car race with race cars.

@WRCPAST You watch motorsport so you can jack off???

F1 Grid Girls F1 has enough issues but this has always been something I thought was a crazy decision. Formula 1 stopped using grid girls from the start of the 2018 season, announcing the change on January 31, 2018. Liberty Media, the sport’s owner, deemed the practice outdated, irrelevant to fans, and at odds with modern societal norms. The move, effective immediately for all 2018 Grands Prix, aimed to align with a more inclusive brand vision. I watched Moto GP last night which made a refreshing change with pure racing. The starting grid had the grid girls which was a breath of fresh air to see. I personally would prefer to see women on the grid as the alternatives in 2026 seem to be on degrading sites which will not be named. What are your thoughts on Grid Girls? Something that should remain in the past? 📷 Getty/Sutton and more 👏🏻 @Formula1 @GettyImages #gridgirls #f1

@carrinaszz they’re all cucks and like to imagine the drivers who are more rich, talented, and handsome than them, having sex with all of these women they find hot.

maybe im too girl and woke but i genuinely don't get the appeal of grid girls like, can you not go 3 hours without looking at women dressed in tight/skimpy clothes? is 20 dudes racing in circles super fast not cool and manly enough? is this just larping and nostalgia baiting?

@UnbiasedFIA @IamDefoJerome @ChrisPepperx Acting like Max fans weren’t calling for Lewis’s death after Silverstone and Monza.

@IamDefoJerome @mcldefender @ChrisPepperx In recent history there have only been 3 instances of drivers needing protection in a GP 1 was because the Mexicans 2 were because of Hamilton fans So it isn't surprising this thread ended like this

@UnbiasedFIA @IamDefoJerome @ChrisPepperx With the way Max races I won’t be surprised when his career ends like that. But don’t worry, Kelly will find someone to raise his kid(s)!!

@UnbiasedFIA @_psaf_ Wow a thread of bullshit.
