MrBrownJay1:
Mercs looks like they got a great car on their hands... even though their race pace wasnt that great. but these RBR people are playing with our heads again, same shiiit happened last year. Aston Martin was topping the sheets in FP2 and FP3 in Bahrein, and then on quali RBR were miles ahead!!!

F1 is currently open to both genders. Show you're fast and you'd likely get a drive, and I love it this way.

Many more will watch if a woman beats Verstappen. And in case you haven't noticed, female sport is growing, now that male oppression is recognised.

A40:
Lool. Women will only enter an F1 car via affirmative action or woke policies. Not merit

Thinking a woman can beat Max Verstappen or even the slowest male driver on the grid is amusing.

Don't be fooled by all this seasonal woke propaganda. Male interest and support is still the primary driver of even female sports.

budaatum:


Sorry, but I am far too woke to think men have some super ability to drive a car much faster than any woman, especially if the fact woman don't have the opportunity is because of "male interest and support", or rather, discrimination against women.

budaatum:

White "male interest and support" kept black people out of the sport too until seasonal woke activism made it unfashionable to not give a black man a chance.

A40:

You people don't know when and where to factor race. Is it racism too that white players are better at hockey than blacks or Chinese are better at pingpong than blacks.

budaatum:


I think you need to go learn about Lewis and racism in motorsports. It starts back in carting way before he became a teenager.

As for women in F1, it's always been open to women. All they need show is a time competitive with the men, and it would be rather difficult to deny them a place on track if they find a team willing to take them.

A40:

Back then it was People like you ....

budaatum:


You don't know me so I can easily ignore your "people like you", but I hope you'd understand why Lewis started his Mission 44, and Ignite.

Women have competed in F1, and as the rules stand, a woman can compete in F1, and I'm certain a woman would quickly be signed if she goes faster than any of the men on track.

A40:
What does me knowing you have to do with anything?

A40:
Lewis efforts are commendable and he spoke from his lens and experiences. But he's not the only minority in F1. And we want to see the best racers, not a diversity hire.

A40:
My problem with people like you (I'm sorry I had to do it)

A40:
Women have competed. And? Why did they stop?

A40:
....rather than do the ground work to promote women's sport and let them compete and flourish on their own merits.

budaatum:

Quite a lot when you say "people like me" and know nothing about me.

budaatum:

No one has asked for a diversity hire. I have specific said "if faster than those on the track".

Lewis, after all, was not a diversity hire despite the lack of black people in F1.

budaatum:

And I'm sorry to give you short shift because you seem to be stating the points you want to argue and paint them like they are mine.

F1 is not football where the sport is separated by gender. If your times are better than those already there, a team will always want you. And theres a lot being done to get them in there already.

When the black man currently in F1 retires, would you ask why black people stopped competing in F1?

budaatum:


Women in F1 haven't stopped, despite many reasons for not being there at the moment.

I think I'd need to wait for you to inform yourself of the immense ground work being done to get more women who can compete and flourish on their own merits into F1 and motor racing in general.

A40:

Whatever man. I don't care nothing about that

budaatum:


Watch me not waste my precious time.

A40:
I don't care nothing about that. Just save us that woke feminist B.S

Nobody got time for that

budaatum:


You are not everybody, A40, and you don't dictate what others do with their time.

A40:

Y'all are nothing but virtue signaling frauds.

It is still too early. Teams are running different programs, testing different concepts. Day 3 tomorrow will give a clearer picture.

chris81964:
Shock. Max on pole. Hulk P10 with the Hass

FBS:

Shock? What was shocking there?

FBS:

Unless something drastic happens, Max got this one on a lock down.

I think you need to go learn about Lewis and racism in Jotech Motorsports. It starts back in carting way before he became a teenager.

Ever heard of a black swan?

My research does not exactly support the headline below but those peddling it are trying to force a particular outcome.

FBS:

"The media" will do anything and everything to get people talking but sadly not about the F1 itself.....seems people generally just love the dirt and drama.

It's a formula that they have used in other sports.

budaatum:


It's all F1. Has been since from after the second world war lol.

And on that note, Verstappen on Pole!
