Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.
F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.
By the way, F2 > F1.
Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

So many drivers made such a leap forward this year, it makes guys like Checo, Stroll and Kmag just look lame, especially in comparison with teammates.
I didn't have much of an opinion about Yuki last two years, but watching him battle with the other cars is impressive. Same with Zhou. While Checo just seems like he mostly forgot to battle completely and relies mostly on DRS really.
Dunno what's up there but with so many new drivers being around already or coming up, I'd rather see what they can do.
Stroll is probably my disappointment of the season. I never expected much from De Vries, but Stroll always seemed like a decent midfield driver to me, better than the "daddy bought a team for me" stigma that he has going for him. But this season he's getting obliterated by Alonso, and he doesn't seem to be able to recover.
It's a shame, I was hoping he'll show he's actually good. He started the year well - if anyone else finished P6 in a new car with barely any practice, a week after breaking both hands and still with screws in them, they'd be praised to high heavens. Some nice battles with the likes of Russell and Sainz in the early races too.
And then he just quit or something. Tho the team isn't helping either, he keeps having the worse car problems and shittier strategy of the two.
Regardless, just like with Checo, I might like the guys but at this point I'd prefer to see Drugovich get a seat. At least Lawson now is getting a chance. We see Piastri killing it, so I'd say we need new people instead of reliable fossils if someone is to push Max eventually.
