In a shocking turn of events that has rocked the Formula Odin paddock, the upcoming race at Spa, Belgium, has been postponed due to what organizers are calling a scheduling error.

However, AlphaTauri drivers Eris Bernoulli-Bruschetta and Rum Balls Bradford aren’t buying it. The duo has unleashed a torrent of accusations, claiming the delay is an elaborate ploy to let the competition catch up on their self-proclaimed "superior discipline and preparation."

"We’ve been grinding for weeks," said Bernoulli-Bruschetta, who, despite his Italian heritage, speaks with the exasperated tone of someone who has spent too much time around Yorkshire tea-drinking teammates. "We had Spa locked in! Now they’re delaying it so everyone else can stop faffing about. Coincidence? I think not!" His teammate, Rum Balls Bradford, didn’t mince words either. "Mate, it’s a bloody joke, innit? We put the hours in, and suddenly Ferrari's Silver Carlos—whose name sounds more like a high-end cocktail than a racing driver—‘breaks down’? You expect us to believe that? If I had a quid for every time a Ferrari broke down, I’d own Ferrari."

Ferrari issues a polite response

Ferrari, of course, has remained tight-lipped about the accusations, with only a brief statement from their camp.

The delay is a matter of logistics, not conspiracy. And for the record, Silver Carlos drives a Lamborghini when he’s not on the track. Just saying.

But AlphaTauri isn’t letting it go. In an impromptu press conference fueled by cappuccinos and, possibly, a few glasses of Brunello, Bernoulli-Bruschetta suggested that Ferrari and Formula Odin’s organizers have cooked up “Delay-Gate” to mask Ferrari’s woeful planning. "They need the extra week to remember how a gearbox works," he declared.

Svensson chimes in (nobody asked)

Svensson, known for being Eris Bernoulli-Bruschetta’s eternal rival and for disagreeing with him on matters ranging from tire strategy to pizza toppings, has come out against AlphaTauri’s claims—not necessarily because he believes in Ferrari’s innocence, but because he fundamentally enjoys opposing Bernoulli-Bruschetta.

Oh, Bernoulli’s whining again, is he? Classic. He could find a conspiracy in a loaf of bread. Maybe Ferrari is plotting, or maybe Bernoulli’s ego is so big it needs a separate garage.

Despite Svensson’s dismissive remarks, he didn’t let the opportunity to throw Ferrari under the bus slip by entirely.

I mean, of course, a Ferrari breaking down is the least surprising thing here, It’s basically a rite of passage for them. But Bernoulli acting like he’s the center of the universe? That’s the real issue.

Meanwhile, Silver Carlos, when reached for comment, simply shrugged and said:

My car didn’t break down. It just needed a nap. Cars are people too.

As for Formula Odin organizers, they’ve promised the new schedule will be released "imminently," though rumors suggest it’s still being typed on a Commodore 64. Will Spa-Gate result in the truth coming to light, or will it join the annals of unsolved Formula Odin scandals alongside Haasgate and the infamous Foksmash-Gate? Stay tuned.
