F1 Caption Game 2024 - Mexico CityFormula 1

[Jimlaad43]

Lando was enjoying the pre-race build up until he was gifted a custom blue flag from an "S. Pagenaud"

I'm going to extend the time for Austria by a day to try and coax more than 3 entries.

 

[NotThePrez]

"It cost how much to replace that dinky podium stand?!"

Final Entry.

 

[XJ40]

What about a front page story or some in site promotion? Caption wise there has been some absolute belters over the years and it's a shame that the entry list is lacking.

This controls the trophies?

 

[Touring Mars]

LN: This year's schedule looks a bit short...
Tech: It is, but all races matter.
LN: Yeh, so Lewis keeps saying...

 

[Jimlaad43]

LN: What's my ping? Shouldn't be too bad, we're running on EU servers
Eng: My name is Jeff

Final entry

 

[MaxAttack]

"And you'll see in the track notes that the course owners have laid some new kerb material down - mostly lava, from what we can see"

Final Entry

 

[Pupik]

Lando: ...what's this addendum about moist driving shoes in next year's contract?

@Famine

It's not necessarily something we'd run with an article about, but it's also rather problematic. The images used are fine in this context but very much not fine in an editorial context (short example, that image of Lando would cost £325 for us to use in the article; unless the image each week is free for editorial use, we're hosed).

In principle there's no need - we could sling it out in the newsletter (there's one every day), and the next update to GTP has some functionality that might be relevant.


Also:
"Wait, these stats from Twitch say Charles got more viewers than me?"

Max looking for who tf asked

 

[Famine]

"That reminds me, I need some new heads for my Gillette razor."

 

[Pupik]

Stewards and FIA unclear if unassisted blown diffusers are legal.

 

[Touring Mars]

Max Verstoopen

 

[-Fred-]

"Christian, I think I found out why we were so slow, there's some debris from the Ferraris stuck under the car!"

 

[Yellowbeard]

Keep going Seb, if you make a really good job of polishing that undertray they might let you be the reserve driver next year.

 

[NotThePrez]

Here we see Max being a good lad, helping Ferrari search for their hopes and dreams.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

"Hmm, I see it's got front and back... but does it also have side-to-side?"
