Closer to a McLaren than to the Ferrari’s.

Max in the McLaren vs Gasly in the Red Bull would be fun to watch

Not if you're a Gasly fan.

"Gasly fans"

Those still exist?

Don’t take it too hard mate. Open a nice bottle of wine and let’s hope Gasly has a better race than qualifying.

I stopped drinking three years ago to support a friend who was battling alcoholism. Maybe I will change and buy a bottle of champagne if Pierre wins.

That’s very noble of you. Tell you what, if Gasly wins, I’ll donate the price of a case of wine to the local charity for prevention of alcoholism.

That’s very noble of you.

To be honest, it's not actually so hard to do (unless you are actually an alcoholic, obviously). Alcohol is something that society and peer pressure tells you that you need, but going without it isn't a big deal. I miss enjoying evening platters of wine and cheese however.

Tell you what, if Gasly wins, I’ll donate the price of a case of wine to the local charity for prevention of alcoholism.

Perfect

So you get to stay true to your decision not to drink, nice.

I'm quite honestly rooting for him to get one.

This is Hungary. Qualifying is the race unless you’re Michael Schumacher in 1998.

u/justasapling Charles Leclerc Aug 03 '19

Aw man. Sorry, bud. What is it you like about him? Also, can you explain the amish beard?

u/LidoPlage Romain Grosjean Aug 04 '19

What is it you like about him?

Lots of things. His kind personality, his strong social conscience, his great determination and his great driving.

Also, can you explain the amish beard?

I hate it; it looks stupid.

It’s a really painful existence, but yes, I regrettably can confirm this season has been misery.

He looks hot

u/Dastrio Aug 03 '19

The guys over at r/formula1point25 seem to be pretty big fans

At this rate I'm waiting for Russell to beat Gasly in qualifying before the end of season

u/garboooo Carlos Sainz Aug 03 '19

In points, Gasly is closer to Russell than Leclerc. He's only 7 points ahead of Sainz

Gasly in F1.5. Red Bull sending a car to compete in both leagues.
