It's funny how these statements came from George and Lando, and the public opinion piled up on Lando.
George's statement from a few hours ago
>“It’s incredible, to be honest,” said Russell, who has won four grands prix.
“I think we're all pretty jealous of it, because having this freedom of firstly doing what you love in Formula 1, but then also being able to go out and race other things and just enjoy it at your leisure… I don't think it's quite that straightforward for other people doing it, but you have that right when you win four world championships, and we're all here fighting to win our first.
>“Maybe after four championships under our belts, we'll be able to choose to do the same. But no, I respect it a lot and definitely I would love to do it one day. Brilliant.”
Now compare it to
>“I respect Max for going and doing such a thing, he's in a much easier position to go and do those things,” added Norris.
>“If he's fighting for a championship and those kinds of things, it probably wouldn't look the best. But he's in a position where he's also won four world championships. So, it's a bit of an easier time than maybe what me and Oscar do at the minute.
>“But certainly in my future, I'll go and do it. Because I think I have the same want and desire as Max to go and do other things and just go do whatever I enjoy.”

Good afternoon, my fellow racists.
I’m the anon that ripped and upscaled those F1 Reviews back at the end of 2023, if people even remember that. I usually don't pop in here often but I know that some anons stayed here after 4chan came back online so I wanted to bring this up here as well.
During the last couple years I thought about bringing back the AngelThump stream, at least in some shape or form (side note: I’m not the anon that ran the original stream, which he took down at some point).
I had some time to spare so I finally decided to set one up and have it run 24/7 (at least in theory):
https://angelthump.com/gimihttps://angelthump.com/gimihttps://angelthump.com/gimiWhat you can expect:
>24/7 stream of the F1 Reviews from 1990-2009 (with the possibility of adding more reviews and additional F1 video content in the future, I’m taking suggestions)>possibility of racing-related movie nights (films like Rush, Days Of Thunder etc.) if people are interested>the stream going down randomly and not coming back online for prolonged periods of timeWhat you should NOT expect:
> live streams of race weekends (too much of a headache), just use some of the other countless streams availableWhen you open the stream, give it a bit to get past the initial buffering. AngelThump is not Twitch or YouTube and it's ran by like one guy.
Feedback (does it run well for you, suggestions, etc.) is greatly appreciated.

So people have to catch up because he was made to be in the position he is now, but he is also making the most of that and that is why he has four world championships."https://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/46475295/lando-norris-almost-impossible-good-max-verstappenLando was around Max when they were kids and likely witnessed first-hand how tough it was, how hard was Jos on him, etc

No.25266

If amx wins and ps3 gets 3rd place on each of the 7 races then amx would gain 70 points over him and win the wdc, and I wouldn't exactly call 15 points per race "barely scoring points".
What I mean with this is that the chances are low but very real, and it won't take a miracle.

Having max win a 5th WDC, from an underdog position no less, would be huge, but it's so unrealistic at this point. We need to have a repeat of 07 or 16 with internal issues at mclel or 09 with a lack of performance in the last few races.

>The sense of a team where nothing works anymore is disturbing: Leclerc points the finger at the car, Hamilton at the team (division of departments, procedures, work protocols). The technicians are struggling, and Vasseur has reached the sixth month of reading the apologies: among the usual references to "good race pace," "untapped potential," and "failure to execute," on Sunday he said that "Lewis was fantastic, but he pushed so hard that he overheated the brakes." In short, Ferrari's flaw is its excessive perfectionism, already cited after the double disqualification in Shanghai.

>Koumajou Densetsu (Castlevania SOTN clone)>Touhou Luna Nights (Really good 2d platformer game, overwhelmingly positive on steam if you don't believe me)>Touhou Fracture transience (Smash bros clone)If you want ACTUAL official and bullet hell games, these are the most forgiving ones, also on steam:

No.25700
>>25698You mean out of the official bullet hell games? Steam has the games from 9 to 20, but 9 is an unconventional VS game, 10 is easy but frustrating for beginners (because using a continue makes you restart the stage from scratch), and from 11 to 15 they're all among the hardest in the series. I think I can recommend 16 (
https://store.steampowered.com/app/745880/Touhou_Tenkuushou__Hidden_Star_in_Four_Seasons/) but I haven't played it yet (starting it this very sunday) so I'm not sure it's that easy.
It would be better if you grabbed the all-in-one pack at nyaa.si and played either the 4th game (my best recommendation for starting out) or the 6th game, which is kinda hard but very straightforward. Or you can just man up and start from the 1st game (which is a sort of arkanoid clone mixed with bullet hell, fun once you get the hang of it) for the full chronological experience.
Also, if you want try a comfy and relaxing fangame, I can recommend Mystia's Izakaya, cheap as fuck too.
Don't expect any actual difficulty, just a nice story.

Yeah, it's probably the game you'd expect to be on steam the most, but ZUN said he lost the source code for all the games before 9, which is why PoFV is the first game in the series that's up on steam.
It kinda sounds like bullshit, since I doubt you need the source code to just slap the steam dll and run a game through the steam client, but maybe he does need to prove he made the game and his history doesn't count.

>Writing his perspective in his new book Notes from the Pit Lane, Sky F1 reporter Ted Kravitz recalled how Russell aimed to get back at Verstappen after labelling the four-time champion a “bully”.
>At the Qatar Grand Prix, Verstappen received a grid penalty after Russell took avoiding action during qualifying, describing the incident as “dangerous”.
>Verstappen snapped back at Russell, stating after the race that he lost respect for the Mercedes driver for “how he tried to force a penalty on me”, suggesting Russell presented himself very differently when the cameras were not pointed at him.
>Kravitz detailed that Russell approached him in the TV pen on Thursday at the Yas Marina Circuit and asked him to ensure he fleshed out the situation in the interview.
>“A week after Qatar, when Russell arrived at the Abu Dhabi track, he was in no mood to let the Verstappen situation lie,” Kravitz wrote.
>“I’d spent the day interviewing drivers at the TV pen, but hadn’t yet heard any earth-shattering stories.
>“A minute before his time slot, up strode George. He called me over to the edge of the pen – ‘make sure you ask me a follow-up question’.
>“‘What do you mean?’ I asked. [He replied] ‘I’m going to give it back to Max. I’ve had enough of him bad-mouthing me in the press, and I’m going to call him out on his bullying tactics.

According to rumors filtering through the paddock, the Neuburg engineers have surpassed the 400 kW mark with the combustion engine, reaching over 540 horsepower.
>Germans have broken through the 400 kW barrier with their internal combustion engine, reaching over 540/550 horsepower, while the highly regarded Mercedes PU is credited with 420 kW, or around 571 horsepowerAudi/Sauber won't be too shabby next year. Hoping for a meme win for Hulk or Bort

This year, it's NARB who is trying to prove himself as a championship contender. If the merc engines rumours were to be true, would you accept him as a champion?

>>26066I don't like him but he is a solid driver who doesn't take shit from max, much easier to accept compared to a norizz wdc.

>>26062>>26063winning every race is a big ask, we need at least a dnf and a low point finish for both mclarens for me to consider it a realistic chance.
russel is a wild card who can really fuck things up for max

>nothing ever happens No.26070
>>26066while I hate russel and norizz equally but for different reasons, I can respect george. he's a good driver but a sneaky teachers pet bitch.

No.26071
>>26066as previously discussed, George is a big snake and can be quite unlikable at some points - that said, he seems to finally become quite consistent in his performances, he's there to take the podium or a win if anyone ahead makes a mistake, he probably has the talent and the experience to take a fast car to its logical conclusion in the form of a strong season
I wouldn't enjoy it, but I could handle unlike a Norris WDC

>>260672 major things. He wants a monetary compensation since, if he did win the title officially, he argues he would get much better contracts over his career.
Bernie started shitting his pants last week about the hearings so he might have a chance.
Second, he wants to be recognized as an official champion in 2008. Not necessary to remove Lewis's title, but he wants at least both of them to be named champions.
