I was referring to the Tweet regarding Red Bull.


I wonder how they've done that. Perhaps it's engineered in such a way that it stiffens or softens at a given load, which load would be generated by downforce when it reaches that speed.

They must have done something to the floor to stop the airflow from stalling

Toto Wolff opens up about his ongoing mental health struggles

Toto Wolff has opened up about his struggles with his mental health, and revealed he has been seeing a psychiatrist for the past 18 years.

I guess its become more relevant recently and quite interesting to see more people open up on it

Really? I don't see anyone doing that. I also only see the MyKKK Hamilton haters post every little bit of shìt they can find on the net about him.

You don't see those who don't hate him posting all the positive but not F1 news that is written about him in the media.

It is becoming tedious, I'm dependent on this thread for F1 news as I'm not on social a lot nowadays due to work, but it's just pages upon pages of Hamilton this Hamilton that.

LOL this is so funny. Schumacher had tons of haters, basically everyone that was not a Ferrari fan. So did every other champion ever. But hey, if Hamilton have a hater they suddenly racist.

Yip, a lot of haters come on here and add little to no value. Just here to have a sledge. Think it's time to start reporting posts that don't add value...

Really? I know a lot of people who admire Schumacher as a driver who weren't Ferrari fans.

Criticising his failings ON THE TRACK doesn't make you a hater, Jeanie.

I think you are wrong. Seems this was posted by a Ham fan.

Oh wait...

I think the issue is more that there's ALWAYS something being said about the guy. He's a racing driver, let him be.

I've made that point before, this thread is supposed to be to discuss F1, it's not supposed to be a women's meeting place to discuss what people are wearing, what people want to call themselves, what dances they go to, what their politics outside of F1 are etc.

People are free to make a new thread for all that, maybe call it "Housewives of F1" or something.

Amazing how sensitive and defensive Ham fans are anytime anything is said about Ham. Learn to laugh guys.

I think the issue is that most times, any issue brought up regarding Hamilton is by people looking to make something derisory out of it. I previously mentioned that there was a double standard applied to him compared to other drivers and I believe that to be true. Its not just an issue limited to this platform but I have seen it on the platforms.

I am a Hamilton fan and I do admit that he does do some stupid/questionable things at times but don't we all? Just seems that he gets scrutinised was more than most, even when he does not do anything.

Anyway, 2 more sleeps until FP1

Nah, they have a legitimate reason to use it. He did technically win the championship, all else aside. Who knows, maybe he even hangs on to it.

Agree... however, this time last year we'd be hearing all about Sir Lewis being chosen over Bottas had the shoe been on the Merc foot LMAO (despite the 7 WC)

Perez should have asked to be the #2.

It is technically available since Vandoorne has not raced since 2018. I think it stays assigned to a driver for up to 3 years before going back into the "pool".
