I think he liked her... hahah

 

btw even with the sucess of Drugovich and Bortoletto in F2 looks like we never gonna see a brazilian driving in the F1 again.

Nonsense :p 

 

I mean, look at the Netherlands. I grew up watching Jos Verstappen at the end of his F1 career (born in 1990, so mostly started watching from 1996-1998 or so, when I used to watch the start and then go to my room and ask my dad to call me if there was a crash :p). When I was 10+ years old, I was watching the full races and was seeing the likes of Christijan Albers and Robert Doornbos struggle in piss-poor cars in the back of the field. Two Dutch riders in F1 at the same time, that was amazing! Doornbos even with a few races for Red Bull, which at the time was an 'ok' team, cool! We were used to the Dutch riding for Minardi, Jordan or, ugh, Spyker.

 

In all those years, up to at least 2012 or so, never did I have any remote hope to ever see a Dutchman get a podium, let alone take a win. Or well, I had hope that would happen like 'one day', but nowhere in the near future. Then came Verstappen in F3, destroying the field there. Sure, he didn't take the title, but those who watched those races know it's because of tons of technical issues and such, when his car wasn't breaking down, he was obliterating the field, especially in the rain.

 

All of a sudden, he was going to ride for Toro Rosso as a teenager, and we got a Dutchman scoring points, wtf! Before we knew it, he went to Red Bull and I can still remember the chills my dad and I had all race and especially at the end when he was actually going to win the race, history :yikes: I felt similar to when the Dutch football team was about to reach the World Cup final in 2010, like, 'what the hell, am I actually going to see this happen?!'.

 

And here we are, three world titles and a gazillion wins later :d 

 

Just to say: I have no doubt at all a Brazilian is going to win an F1 race again at some point, and absolutely 100% sure a Brazilian is going to drive in F1 again :p Felipe Drugovich, Rafael Câmara, Gabriel Bortoleto, a random Fittipaldi, and that's just drivers who are already doing well in the junior categories now and in the past 2-3 years, there's no doubt plenty of more coming from Brazilian F4 (Mattheus Comparatto, Alvaro Cho, Ethan Nobels, even his sister Aurelia Nobels) and karts.

Meanwhile Mercedes has confirmed Kimi Antonelli has their second driver for 2025, to replace Lewis Hamilton (who moves to Ferrari). Nice to see a top team giving a chance to an entirely new driver, instead of putting someone in one of the lower tier teams first.

:GBR is the most successful nation in F1 but I grew up watching bad drivers in the early 80s being beaten by good :BRA drivers

And then there were good :GBR drivers again...

And soon there will be good drivers from :BRA

Time for Mexico :cheer: 

 

During qualifying Perez has humiliated himself even more than he has done most of the season (especially considering it's his home crowd), sadly, hopefully he can find a miracle and pick it up a bit today...

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
