What Unlucky Timing For A Yellow Flag... 😭😭

I swear people on skysport's instagram commenting under Max's win saying F1 is boring now probably didn't even watch the race because so much happened and yet they're all going "boo max is winning again, I cant believe I woke up at 6 for this, what a snooze fest" ???

Did we even watch the same race? If you focused on any of the actual racing you'd be surprised at how Verstappen winning all the time doesn't take away from the competition in other parts of the race. Yuki finished in the points, Sargeant did several overtakes crashed AND DIDN'T DNF (all with a repaired chassis btw), Alonso defended wonderfully, Leclerc stayed in P4 on a one pitstop strategy, Sainz has a 100% podium rate for every race he's started this year, etc etc etc. but apparently the race is boring because Max won again.

Is the podium all they focus on? Actually, is first place all they focus on? Because if that's it, then maybe F1 isn't the sport for you. It's always been like this. You want more variety in winners, go watch motogp or indycar, where the cars are almost identical and so drivers can compete without the cars being as big of a factor to their performance. But stop complaining about Max's dominance I am so sick and tired of hearing it.

Zhou is in front of the safety car so he's basically leading rn 😁😁

In light of Charles becoming the new brand ambassador for Puma, I want to remind everyone that Puma is one of THE main brands on the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) targets list.

Do not fall for this shit, I don't care if you like anything they come out with. People are purposefully obtuse about why Puma is on the Boycott list and ITS NOT BECAUSE THEY DRESS THE ISRAELI NATIONAL TEAM! Puma is the title sponsor of the Israel Football Association which sponsors teams that operate on illegal settlements on Palestinian land, these settlements are regarded as war crimes under international law. From the official BDS list:

In December of 2023, Puma announced that they would not renew their sponsorship with the Israel Football Association (after the death of 30,000 Palestinians at the time). However they remain on the Boycott list until 2025, when they actually commit to divesting from Israel because they have engaged in misinformation in the past when coming under sustained pressure. In 2021, Puma claimed to stop supporting Israeli teams on illegal settlements but an investigation by BDS found that they had lied and it was simply PR crisis management: (1) they lied about not supporting teams on illegal settlements, (2) they lied about having Israeli distributors who have branches operated on stolen land and (3) they lied that one of their main licencees does not operate on stolen land.

So until Puma officially abides by that divestment, BDS have kept them on the Boycott list because they have a history of lying.

+ reminder Puma also sponsor Ferrari and Mercedes.

Unless their cheap, ugly shit is worth more to you than Palestinian lives, you can wait until they officially divest from paying for illegal settlements, so that colonisers can play on stolen land.

Where to watch F1 Live (in Australia, at least)

Channel 10, 10 Play - Only airs AusGP, but the coverage is free! Other motorsports available: Australian MotoGP

KAYO - A relatively affordable option. Covers other sports too, and every race as well. Kayo One is $25/month (one screen) and Kayo Basic is $35/month. Other motorsports available: F2, F3, MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, NASCAR, Supercars, ExtremeE, SBK

Channel 506, Foxtel - Available as a bundle with other Foxtel packages (movies, etc.) but is the most expensive option at minimum $69/month. You can connect it to F1 TV for free (for live times and other stuff like team radios).

Other motorsports available: Supercars, MotoGP, NASCAR, SBK, Supercross

I personally have a KAYO subscription, and it's pretty good since all I want to watch is MotoGP and F1. If you want to watch on your TV, follow other sports, and are willing to spend more though, Foxtel might be the better option.

Anyways, happy race week and happy Friday guys!! :))

Can I just say that some "fans" are just utterly disgusting. Some dumb fuck who not only broke a law I'm certain also invaded the privacy of GR so greatly I'm mind blown, I was scrolling on Tiktok when this piece of shit posted of video of GR at a urinal and then proceeds to talk about. I have reported the video but if you see it or anyone sharing the link please report ASAP can not believe in this day and age they can't even have this. Fucking disgusted
