Was really hoping for Jenson overtakes Seb style ending with Max and Londo, but a great race nonetheless.

100% agree with Mr. Windsor (like him or not) Max Verstappen is an amazing driver.
I didn’t like him much after the whole Abu Dabi 2021 incident, but he’s grown on me over the years despite that, just with sheer ability.

There was already some talk about increasing diversity in Ferrari.
I'm pretty sure Ferrari will allow him to do what he wants as long as he stays with them.

Especially after their stocks went up after the announcement Hamilton was joining.There was already some talk about increasing diversity in Ferrari.

The stock went up because they posted their financials that day or the day before and they exceeded expectations.
Hamilton will indeed help sell an enormous amount of Ferrari merchandise.. 90% of Mercedes hats and shirts you see in the grandstands today will be red next year.

Yeah, McClaren need to sort their damn strategies out. I sat in disbelief watching Lando continue to circle round for another six laps after Max had come in. Should have covered him off, and then we would have had at least a battle at the end.

While merc was dominating redbull spent years perfecting its pitstop and strategy teams to take advantage of a few bad Mercedes days a season to steal a few wins. You not only need to beat a driver who is robotic consistent and rarely makes big mistakes. You have to beat the best pit stop crew and strategy team. McLaren has the fastest car now they need to catch the rest of the team up to the car. Any mistakes made max and redbull will be there to steal wins.

Doesn't help that they've spring boarded from a mid-field team back to a top team in a matter of a very few races. Inexperience at the top end. Which is a weird thing to say about McClaren... but then it's not the same team that were winning championships years ago.

Ferrari falling apart like this is all part of the plan guys! They just really want to nail the whole “phoenix rising from the ashes” thing in 2026

Nice one for Pastry, glad he is in front of Lando for a change.

Lando choked a bit there. Too concerned with not damaging his car for qualifying. If he wants to get properly on terms with Max, he's going to have to be more aggressive.
ForAcademicPurposes

He saw Max defending that corner twice on the last two laps and then just completely ignored it all and left the door open. Really poor if he wants to compete.

Max being noted for driving slowly while also destroying the rest of the field to get pole is incredibly funny.

Lando suffers from a lack of both aggression and guts. It's something a lot of the drivers are like these days. Part of Max's dominance is that he can be, and is, an absolute bastard when needed, like his shitbag dad. Hamilton can be ruthless too, but he's in a shitbox car. Drivers like Lando need to take more chances, risk more crashes, and get their fucking elbows out properly. The drivers are too chummy with one another, and Max is taking advantage of that.

This post didnt age too well
FunkMiller
Gold Member
What? It's aged perfectly. Max proved he's a shitbag once again. And Lando only got to see that because he actually did get more aggressive. Exactly what I said he should do.
FunkMiller
Gold Member
Yep. And if the others actually push the petulant little cunt, he'll continue to do this kind of thing, and they'll have a chance against him.

Oh I'm sure that 10 second penalty which meant he kept the same finishing position will totally make him change his ways.
FunkMiller
Gold Member
Oh, he won't change. But they might. And the more he does that kind of shit, the less the stewards will be able to avoid it - even though I'm sure they'll try. He'll pick up more penalties, and get more petulant, and that's a weakness that can be exploited.
midnightAI

I was saying it because you said he wasn't aggressive enough towards max, he was now more aggressive and max took him out which isn't a surprise. I was more alluding to the fact that he isn't aggressive enough and then the very same day he becomes more aggressive.
In my opinion he should be stripped of all the points today as he has gained more points by taking out his opponent. It wasn't long ago Verstappen fans were criticising Hamilton of doing the same thing, will be interesting to hear from them today (even though this behaviour isn't new)

People expect max to just let others pass and give them a chance to win cause he is bored of it or something that’s not him at all he could be 300 points ahead in the championship and he would still drive to his limit every time and that’s why he is the absolute best driver on the planet rn
FunkMiller

Nobody expects him to do that, but he does have to obey the rules. The problem is when he clearly and cynical breaks them. Which he did today.

I just watched the highlights and … I see that Russell won, I think I’m going to be sick. 
Need to watch the incident between Lando and Max again, but damn, how unfortunate.
