That's the kind of thing I'd expect to hear from late 1970's Formula 1, not so much today.

 

[Veinz]

Apparently he jumped on a plane after Miami and went straight to Dubai. A little sus to say the least.

Maybe a reason Mazepin was suddely in the paddock at Bahrain testing.

Attaching your name to Mazepin means you deserve all the shame and ridicule possible.

Max has broken the GT3 lap record on the Nordschleife during an anonymous test in a Ferrari 296 GT3 last week.

This guy…

No, that was Franz Hermann. Totally different person.

Good effort for getting away from this 7 day old newborn and his mother doing useless Nordschleife laps. Jos will be proud.

I don't usually wish failure on drivers, but hopefully Colapinto is an absolute bust so his revolting fanbase will leave the sport. The amount of abuse directed towards Doohan and family was despicable, and now Tsunoda is getting a load of racist abuse because of a minor incident in free practice.

Given how toxic Colapinto fans are known to be, surely any satrical/trolling individual/group should know to be extremely careful with any content regarding Franco and his associates.

 

[RACECAR]

First the Canapino guy in Indycar (Granted he was actually stoking those fires in addition to being a miserable Human being), now Colapinto. I don't want to make an assumptions so instead I've made an observation: That's TWO Argentine drivers with some seriously toxic and potentially psychotic fans (They make the typical F1 fanboys look sane). It's not much, but it's not the prettiest set of Dollars I've held so far.

 

[toastet]

Wasn't this bad yet but was already a thing around José María López in WEC, WTCC, F-E with "fans" acting up on social media towards competitors.

 

[Imbissbrunto]

I will never understand a bunch of (physically) grown men gettting this emotional over their favorite athletes. I‘m a big UFC fan too and quite a few MMA fans are just as bad, unfortunately.

Same with golf incredibly. It's a very sad state of affairs and isn't going to change anytime soon. Ruins the enjoyment of chatting about the sport.

Palou better be driving a Cadillac F1 next year

 

[IforceV8]

HRC will never let him slip away.

Why give up days like this to go to a probable backmarker?

Good point, but he has nothing left to prove in Indycar

 

[RACECAR]

You know folks, Alpine is looking alot like they did as Lotus in 2015

• Questions over finances
• Revolving door of leadership
• Mercedes Power
• A South American driver with sponsorship money who's pace is there but so is his habit of crunching cars.
• A Frenchman who's having to carry the team on his back.

Arvid Lindblad: Red Bull teenage protege granted F1 super licence at 17 after special exemption granted

F2 front-runner Arvid Lindblad granted special dispensation for a super licence two months before his 18th birthday; British teenager is highly rated by Red Bull; watch every session of the Canadian GP weekend from Friday live on Sky Sports F1

This pretty much confirms that if Max DOES get that race ban, one of the Racing Bulls drivers will jump up to drive Max's seat and Lindblad takes their vacated Racing Bulls seat.

 

[Fezzik]

And that Lindblad will be in one of the 3 non-Verstappen seats next year, but we already knew that.

I would assume Hadjar since he's doing well & Horner has spoken highly of him.

If anything, this seems at least indicative we're going to see another case of Red Bull chewing up a 2nd driver.

And should that scenario happen, we'll truly get the best picture of how awful that Red Bull is without Max in the picture. If anything, maybe that race ban will just cement Max's desire to leave F1 (Which is already not too difficult to imagine considering Red Bull aren't exactly giving him a championship contending car on a regular basis even with that new directive in place).
