Perez - in or out?
@crazygamer56 Says:
Drivers should boycott Monaco. This will solve several issues including viewers boredom
@phodge9985 Says:
and the jewellery, its their choice. their the ones getting into the car, their the ones that are driving at insane speeds for our entertainment so i dont see why the fia should be allowed to make those choices. If they are ruling it out of grounds of paramedics, marshals other fia personnel getting injured then fairs but a nose ring is not going to cause any issues to the other personal that would be required to treat a driver
@phodge9985 Says:
like i said on insta, the sport that nearly saw a death of a driver 4 years ago, a sport that has seen f2 driver die in the past 5 years and im sure others in other categories, if a child can watch as sport that could see them witness a mans death live on tv then i dont see how swearing is a big issue. if the FIA presented data to back up the claims that children watch the driver press conferences sure thing but i refuse to believe that there was so many children watching driver press conferences for it to be a issue
@robdin81 Says:
The whole discussion about swearing is stupid. 99% of adults swear on a regular basis and are we really so ignorant to believe that having no swearing on TV is going to improve that percentage? As long as people on TV do not insult other people on TV or make it look like it is okay for fans to insult/attack other people i don't have an issue with swearing on TV. And to be clear I also don't have an issue with explaining to children what certain words mean and why they were used. I mean that is how adults have taught children about the world in general since forever and swear words are just one of the things that an adult has to explain to children if you want children to take away the right lessons from them experiencing other people using swear words. Or from another perspective 'if my child is going to learn about swear words anyway when they grow up than I might as well explain myself what swear words mean because at least that way I can ensure that my children learn about that word from my perspective and how I think about that word and its usage as their parent'. The majority of the rules that people want to use around reducing the usage of swear words are in my eyes just excuses so that parents do not have to teach their children about the world and the words used to convey feelings of annoyance and anger.

Leclerc is a more complete driver than Russell. So the idea that Lews will overcome his qualifying deficit again by always being better in the races is a nonsense in my opinion. Leclerc is always good in race pace and with the tyres, unlike George. He makes a bit more mistakes than Max, but so does Lewis. And actually Leclerc also knows how to race Max, and Max is less likely to crash with him because Max respects Charles more/ dislikes him less than he does Lewis.
@Paul_C Says:
Seriously? The FIA has gone to far when they based everything on Arab money. Call it what it is: F1 is a Saudi-Arabian initiative. Nothing to do with racing, only about money.
@abel6846 Says:
I do think that the drivers are very much annoyed by MBS. He IS too present, especially in parc ferme after the race he is unavoidable. Imagine you just got on the podium, you just want to celebrate with your team, and there he is, pushing himself to the forefront to congratulate you, making sure the cameras capture the moment. Do that shit backstage, dude!
@stevengien5409 Says:
i would like to see 10 engine manufacturers, one for each team. It would take a less expensive engine regulations.
@Max_Flashheart Says:
MBS is a liability and his tone is tone deaf.

Perfect! I just got a keyboard for my iPad so I can save myself a lot of my own time each day. I guess I can’t blame my errors on touch typing anymore. Anyways, it takes forever to shout into the void and type out comments on all of the scandals, incidents, and incompetence that the president of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, is involved with each day. He is an incompetent nincompoop and a raging buffoon. His ineptitude, self obsession, maliciousness, anger, abusive nature, enthusiasm for crossing lines, thirst for revenge, and fragile ego have ruined and setback the both FIA and F1 tremendously. The worst part is that he is still doing damage daily. I’m curious to see if the race director’s replacement comes with a changing structure for race stewarding. Knowing how awful Mohammed Ben Sulayem is at his job, I won’t get my hopes up. I also think that the President of the FIA may be feeling the heat now (which is mostly generated needlessly by his own behavior) so he is lashing out and deflecting blame and responsibility. Whatever the course of action should be, he just goes hard in the opposite direction, so I expect this will only get worse. I think he is trying to buy time and trying to appear proactive by firing someone else. I hope that’s the case, because he needs to be fired himself. It’s blatantly obvious that Ben Sulayem can do whatever he wants without getting fired. If he feels like that it is changing then there may be hope. Personally, I think he needs to be officially investigated by multiple entities. Nobody wants an investigation, though. Anyways, may the blatant, raging BS that spews from that man’s mouth be spewed back on him a billion times over if there is any justice in this world!
@EliYis Says:
Honestly the whole swearing conversation is so Puritanical it's ridiculous IMO. How many children are reasonably watching a pre or post race conference? Not very many seems likely to me. F1 already has F1 kids. Just bleep the swear word and move on. Drivers shouldn't be held accountable for the actions of other people like fans or media that make a huge problem out of nothing. Regarding the fines, KMag has spoken to the maximum fine amount being so extreme that it would be financially devastating for him, which I think is one of the concerns for the less well-off drivers - given the lack of clarity on fine amounts and what determines that. I think it's completely fair for the drivers to object towards having no idea where the money goes, inconsistency of fine amounts, and people like Lewis or Max being used as "an example."
@brumfondl Says:
Well done on leaving in "bullsh*t" and bleeping out "bleep" :D
@fintonmainz7845 Says:
Ben S on a power trip
@schabur365 Says:
How has the FIA managed to have just about every single top manager walk out or be let go over the last 2/3 years, with no recourse? When do questions get asked about the president who always seems to be whispered as the reason for all of this?
@jstambo478 Says:
I think engine manufacturers should be limited to the number of customer teams they can supply. I think only supplying two other teams is fair. I think it makes the competition more interesting if there's more engine manufacturers involved
@joobaloo7108 Says:
Absolutely loving these pods keeep it up.
@Hebhansen Says:
FIA is running a kindergarten! Race is high temper and so are race drivers. Exactly as supposed! F1 came out of Britain, turned American and now going Taleban style. Middle East morals / double morals has nu fuckin’ place in F1. It’s ridiculous. Fine for cursing and see the middle finger 🖕
@gisellemitton8154 Says:
Honestly the race officials are likely to be more abused by their incompetent decisions. Their focus should be on this. Getting piled on for drivers swearing should be the least of their concerns frankly.
@gisellemitton8154 Says:
The use of the fines question initially came from the Team Principals I believe
@erwinelbracht395 Says:
Nobody talks about brining the VSC just after Lando overtakes Russel....
@Vorshays Says:
Chapter markers would be nice to have for a video like this
@mxmaverinho8115 Says:
Sore losers 🇳🇱
@Milkydrummer Says:
If Hamilton beats Leclerc next year… I hope people give him the credit he deserves.
@Milkydrummer Says:
Style over substance. That’s what happens when you sell the sport to a bunch of Americans.
@93Enthusiast Says:
While it would be hyperbolic to say he’s lucky not to be caned, Max cursed on television, in Singapore. I think that’s worth considering.
@anthonygibbo1881 Says:
Great show lads and 2025 i think lewis will definitely go for his 9th title if the car is to his liking 👍
@Bearer_of-Light Says:
I'll say this with the FIA and Jewelry and what not. As a Welder I could not wear my metal wedding ring until silicon ones came around, I had to have thick leather and fireproof protection on at all times winter/summer didn't matter and other safety precautions taken. I dealt with it. If I didn't wear it I could lose my job. I don't make nor have I ever made a million dollars either.
@Sunpumpmusic Says:
you need to rewrite the script another has fallen
@DaniMacYo Says:
Question: What’s been the biggest highlight of the season so far for all you lads?
