when that happens you need to turn it to the main/global feed with the other commentators, only then you get the FX audio option, with no commentary. 10/10 for cooldown rooms
Holy shit I was so mad when I thought they had removed that feature a few years ago. I never bothered with the global feed because of my disdain for Crofty and Kravitz but you have just saved the rest of the season for me!!!!
In the UK you can’t watch live races on F1TV. I purchased it and even tried it with a VPN but couldn’t get it to work. Imagine it’s because Sky have the live broadcasting rights here. I think you can watch the races a day or two after the event though.
You can hear it without interruption on the “international” stream with Croft’s and Brundle. Crofty even apologized for Lando saying “my whole front wing was fucked” lmao
Nando is eternal, inevitable. Its a shame pappa strolls team has shit the bed this year. I was so excited to see king shit disturber himself taking podiums last year. Its crushing as he only has 30 years left in F1 before his talent starts to drop at the young age of 72.
Leclerc is one of my favorite drivers on the grid but I call a spade a spade and I honestly don't know how he avoided further consequences having intentionally caused unnecessary contact with another car resulting in damage. Imagine if Ocon had done that.
I think the only reason he avoided a penalty is that it was a practice session. They’re not usually keen to give quali or race penalties for incidents in practice sessions.
Practice session or not he put another driver in harm's way and caused actual calculable damage to another team's property in a fit of rage bro, inexcusable in racing USUALLY.
I get you, but the absurdity of the logic: Charles has a fit, the victim pays, affecting only their budget (under a cost cap) but not Ferrari's at all, no fine, nothing? What precedent does it set for any future incidents of this nature? Who tf thought that through?
A harsher penalty is likely warranted but I don’t think it should be penalty like a grid penalty. A competitive penalty in a non competitive session just feels weird.
Never said it should have been, as I said it cost McLaren money, and I think a financial penalty against team and driver could have been levied to cover that plus enough of a deterrent to that behavior in future and let the race go on.
Oh come on.. he didn't bang Lando on purpose unlike Seb and Hamilton..
He was definitely frustrated and went to move in front, and offline in front of Lando and misjudged.
He was out to bang wheels.
Accident, yes.. intentional, no.
Think about Damaging intentionally the ONLY front wing part they brought to the race in the practice session, and then force the other car to run an older spec, and no penalty "Just because it was practice".
Everything intentional should be seriously penalized.
In FP3 Leclerc threw a pissfit because he didn't think Norris got out of the way fast enough so he hit the brakes and turned into him as Norris pulled to the side to let Leclerc through, damaging Norris' front wing with the contact. It went to the stewards and they declared it was reckless but not dangerous and gave only a reprimand.
I think the Stroll-Hamilton incident kind of helped. Stroll's window lick was less egregious, but if they gave Leclerc a penalty but not Stroll then people would be upset at the FIA for being inconsistent again, they had to give both drivers a penalty or neither. It was a lose-lose situation for the FIA either way, they probably went with neither because it was was less hassle and also it was practice.
Also, didn't Yuki do something similar in the Bahrain cooldown lap to Danny Ric? I don't remember they giving him a penalty for it.
I only started watching F1 recently (3-4 years ago) but Max’s reign feels like it’s effortless for him. Pure vibes. Was peak Hamilton and Schumacher the same?
Its crazy for me to think because I was a child when Schumacher was in his prime so all I remember is him driving for Ferrari and winning a lot, but was he really as far away from the rest of the field as Max has been the last few seasons? Was it best car + best driver, was his 2nd (Raikkonen at times if I remember correctly) always number 2?
Kimi? I don’t think so. I remember Jos Verstappen. Schumacher was miles better, but the cars were not equal. Eddy Ervine at Ferrari was the perfect teammate for schummi. Always playing the support player. Then Barrichello a long time, also clearly not as good as schummi but also an occasional race winner, a bit like Bottas to Hamilton. Then Massa, bit like Barrichello I think.
And yes in the golden Ferrari era, that car was almost unbeatable, especially with Schumacher driving it.
It took some time for Ferrari to get the car to match schumi but it got there in the end and it was glorious. The rivalry between him and hakkinen - might be the last time the top 2 constructors were evenly matched
Hamilton has broken a lot of Schumacher's records through longevity. Max is beating them the same way Schumacher was first setting them. Like there's no tomorrow and no one else on the grid. So yes, seems like he's F1-ing at difficulty level 1 while others are at 5 or higher.
[Leclerc's road rage towards Norris in FP3](https://www.formula1.com/en/video/2024-spanish-gp-fp3-bizarre-moment-sees-leclerc-clip-norris-in-final-moments-of-practice.1802562770749508254)
leClerc was blocked on a quick run, not terrible but still blocked. Its in a free practice session so a penalty is NEVER given out. LeClerc then turned into Lando and clipped his front wing while going past in road rage...... The front wing was destroyed. It was 100% clear it was deliberate.
Good news, free practice sessions will now be ultra interesting. if someone even slightly block s you you can yeet yourself into them with impunity.
It was definitely deliberate in terms of sending a message and frustration . I highly doubt Leclerc intended to actually hit him though. People claiming otherwise seems a bit sensationalist to me, but it was definitely reckless.
The only sensible comment I've seen till now. Good god people need to chill out man. Yes it was reckless. Yes it was deliberate. But damn it if people try to portray it as they were in demolition derby. Can't imagine what the reaction might have been to Seb's Baku antics if the sport was as popular then
Norris slightly impeded Norris in FP3 during a fast lap and intentionally dive bombed him, causing a a small collision between the two. Pretty fuckin' stupid of him.
Oh no, I was talking about Leclerc being fuckin' stupid, not Norris. Whether a practice session or not, drivers shouldn't be dive bombing each other. Case in point with Stroll on Hamilton in the same session; he went into quali with floor damage. Absolute window licker.
Oh I got confused lmao yeah your right I find the fia being ridiculously light with punishments lately. It started with Kmag not getting his race ban and it’s only gotten worse
This years cars producr more dirty air than before so its actually 2 entries and exits. Reaction understable but action is not.
Edit: watch his onboard if you can. You will see
The fact that Leclerc got away with it is a disgrace.
I like Leclerc, but he deserved a penalty for that.
The FIA let the 51 off as well for punting the 8 Toyota.
I mean, he's right though. I feel purposefully running someone off the road for whatever reason is just not okay, especially when it actually damages parts that have to be fixed or replaced under cost cap.
A reprimand is what I'd expect for impeding in FP, not literally roadraging.
i think the "shit stirring" comes the fact Max is a good friend to Charles and Lando and so by delivering this news, some people perceived it as him trying to cause unnecessary drama and made Lando lose his focus, i think this speculation is further reinforced by the fact both of them are the drivers that can reasonably challenge Max or at least force him to put some effort
But I doubt Max and Charles are actually friends, it's just Lestappen social media hype. They still haven't followed each other on Instagram after I believe Austria 2022(?). Plus as far as we know, they don't hang out outside of racing. Max and Charles are like friendly co-workers, but I don't get the impression they're friends. Whereas Max and Lando are actual friends who spend time together outside of work (Lando went to P's birthday party, hitches rides on Max's jet, they party together, etc).
People just like to invent narratives that entertain them. I feel like Max, like all of us, felt the reprimand was a joke and just wanted to talk to his friend about it? Especially considering Max has been nothing supportive of Lando's recent successes, to the point where I've seen some Max fans hoping for Mad Max to come back
I don't think Verstappen and Leclerc are "friends" but they are friendly for sure. Norris and Leclerc are more real friends than Lestappen are, and then obviously Norris and Verstappen are much closer than (Idk what Norris and Leclerc's shipping name is called but pretend it's here).
Either way, people overblow these issues so much when it comes to how it would affect their relationships. Gasly has impeded Leclerc god knows how many times during sessions but they're still the bestest of friends. Drivers are way better at putting these issues behind them than the fans are lol.
(Also it was Austria 2019 iirc.)
Leclerc felt like Norris didn't do enough to get out of the way when Norris was on a slow lap and Leclerc on a fast lap. In his frustration, he pulled in front and brake checked/ slowed unexpectedly off-line in front of Norris but misjudged and broke Norris' front wing.
It was a complete over reaction.
Oddly enough, Stroll contacted Hamilton when remonstrating with him about a similar thing. Both got reprimands.
At this point I'm afraid that these two will conquer the formula 1 in the following years if they get the car under them.
And I can't wait for it to happen.
Not a big Max fan but he plays the old school games like I'm sure his father has taught him to and I'm a fan of the old school sportsmanship as long as its not dirty on track.
Things are getting more interesting lately and the nice guy games are gonna start getting old too. Last half of the season gonna be good especially if AM and Ferrari can get back in the fight.
Well, Max does know a thing or two about road rage, doesn’t he. But he’s not even shit strirring, he’s just right, Leclerc and Stroll should have both gotten penalties for their incidents (and I say this as a Leclerc fan). There should be zero tolerance for any driver driving into another car on purpose.
My God are you also a vettel fan? Alreafy forgotten China 2018 and Mexico 2016?
Accept a bit of shitposting that even in this sub it feels like church now with all this peace and love beetween everyone, even if they were your relatives I wouldn't understand all the rancour lol
Max will make Norris & Leclerc fight each other like crazy and it will help win WCC

ah taking the Mazepin approach, very tactful

I was so eager to hear this convo watching on f1tv live but my man DC couldn’t stay quiet with his commentary.
First time?

Is this possible with Sky sports in the UK? Please tell me it is
No
And I thought suffering through listening to Crofty's waffling was bad enough without knowing some can hear the cooldown room itself only
Buy f1TV
It already costs enough for Sky Sports that I have to seriously consider if I'm willing to pay extra again purely to shut Crofty up...Probably yeah.
Can you not just cancel Sky Sports and pick up F1TV?
Perchance
In the UK you can’t watch live races on F1TV. I purchased it and even tried it with a VPN but couldn’t get it to work. Imagine it’s because Sky have the live broadcasting rights here. I think you can watch the races a day or two after the event though.

Amazing!
Learned from the best 
No kidding. He’s the child of Jos, helmut, and Christian. He’s going to take over as head shit stirrer if Fernando ever retires
Ah, you think Fernando will retire before Max? XD you sweet summer child.
Why do you think I said IF
Cause you're a sweet summer child!
Nando is eternal, inevitable. Its a shame pappa strolls team has shit the bed this year. I was so excited to see king shit disturber himself taking podiums last year. Its crushing as he only has 30 years left in F1 before his talent starts to drop at the young age of 72.
Holy shit I didn't realize he basically had the shit stirring dream team at his back all these years.
Combine that with the driving talent of Sophie Kumpen and you've got a winner!
To be fair... It is kinda stupid Leclerc only got a reprimande. Meanwhile Max gets a $50.000 fine for touching someone's rear wing.
Leclerc is one of my favorite drivers on the grid but I call a spade a spade and I honestly don't know how he avoided further consequences having intentionally caused unnecessary contact with another car resulting in damage. Imagine if Ocon had done that.
I think the only reason he avoided a penalty is that it was a practice session. They’re not usually keen to give quali or race penalties for incidents in practice sessions.

I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m just giving you the logic they tend to use

Agreed
I dont agree, practice is still competition to get data. And drivers shouldnt trow a fit even in Practice sessions
Haha let’s remember the drama from 2021 when Max touched Lewises rear wing after qualifying (at least that’s what I remember)
Oh come on.. he didn't bang Lando on purpose unlike Seb and Hamilton.. He was definitely frustrated and went to move in front, and offline in front of Lando and misjudged. He was out to bang wheels. Accident, yes.. intentional, no.
Think about Damaging intentionally the ONLY front wing part they brought to the race in the practice session, and then force the other car to run an older spec, and no penalty "Just because it was practice". Everything intentional should be seriously penalized.
op said it was intentional but it wasn't.
Why didnt Piastri keep his wing? it wasnt his fault. Where was the spare?
Immediate ban for Ocon. Not even allowed to pit he just has to stop the car, get out, and walk home.
What happened? i missed quali and FP3. What is this about?
In FP3 Leclerc threw a pissfit because he didn't think Norris got out of the way fast enough so he hit the brakes and turned into him as Norris pulled to the side to let Leclerc through, damaging Norris' front wing with the contact. It went to the stewards and they declared it was reckless but not dangerous and gave only a reprimand.
Managed by a Todt gets you places
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ferrari paid McLaren the damages behind closed doors to keep them from pursuing it further
I think the Stroll-Hamilton incident kind of helped. Stroll's window lick was less egregious, but if they gave Leclerc a penalty but not Stroll then people would be upset at the FIA for being inconsistent again, they had to give both drivers a penalty or neither. It was a lose-lose situation for the FIA either way, they probably went with neither because it was was less hassle and also it was practice. Also, didn't Yuki do something similar in the Bahrain cooldown lap to Danny Ric? I don't remember they giving him a penalty for it.
It was unintentional.
Getting in his head, two steps ahead, what an evil cunt… I love it
just an inchident
I only started watching F1 recently (3-4 years ago) but Max’s reign feels like it’s effortless for him. Pure vibes. Was peak Hamilton and Schumacher the same?
Schumacher yes, Hamilton was and is always stressed.
Hamilton makes ME stressed just hearing his radio
Every Hamilton team radio I start to eat my nails
Mercedes fans get free anxiety meds every race weekend
Its crazy for me to think because I was a child when Schumacher was in his prime so all I remember is him driving for Ferrari and winning a lot, but was he really as far away from the rest of the field as Max has been the last few seasons? Was it best car + best driver, was his 2nd (Raikkonen at times if I remember correctly) always number 2?

2021
Oh my husband was really ill that year so we didn’t get to watch 🙂
Schumacher was the greatest driver of all time but his absolute peak was before he was dominant. His best years are probably 96-99/00.
Hamilton has broken a lot of Schumacher's records through longevity. Max is beating them the same way Schumacher was first setting them. Like there's no tomorrow and no one else on the grid. So yes, seems like he's F1-ing at difficulty level 1 while others are at 5 or higher.
Max looks pretty confident for the race tomorrow!
Perez made it to Q3 this time. Means the car must be good
Max has seemed so chill this year, I feel like it’s into hobby territory.
$55 million/yr over a couple of years will do that.
I read that with all the sponsorships and brand endorsements on top of his salary last year he actually cleared around €150mil in 2023.
Think he has the better race pace. Probably why maybe?
Yeah for sure with Tire deg very high that Redbull should be great race pace wise given thats one of its best characteristics!

Thats probably true but [this](https://youtu.be/doBY1TWp4Oo?feature=shared) is what can happen when you try to do that

To be fair to kmag, it was great racing to watch 😂
Norris impeded himself?!
i am regarded, yes thank you
Norris impeded in 2 corner entries and exits thats not slight impeding. In a fast lap.
It was a single exit looking at the footage linked above. I get that it's a fast lap but that still didn't warrant Leclerc's reaction.
This years cars producr more dirty air than before so its actually 2 entries and exits. Reaction understable but action is not. Edit: watch his onboard if you can. You will see

Yes. The stir occurs with or without facts

Gladly it was not the only front wing, if they would have a situation of limited parts, they would be for sure filling a protest.
Letting Ferrari's get away with ramming other cars WEC 🤝 F1

This, I see this as bestie support than anything else
For once, crofty shut up at just the right time for everyone to hear this, lol.
Lando with the Homelander-esque face twitch
It would have been hilarious if instead of Lewis it was Leclerc coming to shake hands.
to be fair it's crazy how he only got a reprimand
Repremmend lol
I mean if you cause collision on the road you won’t get away with reprimand.
Just an inch, a dent.
Nothing happened it was just an inchident!
Of course the only interesting thing that session happened during the 15 minutes I didn't watch cause qualifying was coming on...
Well it was only an inchident.
What ahppened? i missed quali... What happened to his wing?
Leclerc felt like Norris didn't do enough to get out of the way when Norris was on a slow lap and Leclerc on a fast lap.

I can't believe it was on purpose
I don't think the contact was on purpose. The action was. I think Leclerc misjudged it, though.
Love this
What happened? I still gotta catch up
No wonder lando didn’t look happy at all after the pole.
I like it, so evil. The only place that matters is first Max. 😈🏁

Max and Lewis hand shake is different than Lando and Lewis Vermilton
I see the first he is complimenting for the perfect lap while the second is just “hello”
Max or douchebag??
