I'll have a pint of whatever you are drunk on.
Verstappen has it all to prove this season. A paper champion if ever there was one. Should be an exciting season. LeClerc was unlucky today with the yellow flags, but I think he’ll be there or thereabouts at the end of the season and hopefully we’ll see him crowned champion. Anybody but Max basically. I’ve never seen a more polarising driver. He attracts a certain type of fan, and outside of that he seems to really engender contempt amongst everyone else.
How?
Isn't the champagne spray haram?
Or it might be the fact that nobody was on the radio back in the days, so please hide your recency bias a wee bit. To serve everyone a huuuuge surprise, the drivers are encouraged by the producers/owners/F1 to cause some drama on the radio, that’s the only reason it’s live on TV and it’s a bit more rock ‘n roll.
Once Leclerc becomes a serious winner like Verstappen and Hamilton, he too will become a «crybaby» as he nears the Championship. You take advantage of every single little thing you can find, easy as that.
Kevin breaking his keyboard in this thread now.
Except it’s not against the rules.
Yeah... he's practically a Dutch benitez... facht
The VFL did for Leclerc yeah. He's much quicker in the first sector so that combined with DRS, I reckon he would have taken the place back.
Always wondered, what happens if Leclerc breaks slightly making Max overtake?
Think also had an issue in the end with gear shift once...
It's non-alcoholic, whatever it is.
Great race, absolutely loving the battles between Max and Leclerc
Childish behavior, get over it buddy. When we summarize his career in 10-15 years, will you still be sitting there and screaming «but but but» to everyone? Verstappen was lucky on that day, he was very unlucky elsewhere and deservedly won the whole thing.
Well that’s what happened in Abu Dhabi with Lewis and Max.
It doesnt matter if the car behind creeps ahead by a meter or so if it’s only briefly.
I imagine he'll just give the position back and nothing will happen
Not allowed. Race leader is expected to keep a consistent pace.

The meltdown if Mercedes get another podium finish
Ah, as you were!
Only asking since Ralf Schumacher suggested something like that during the race. I agree that it would be stupid to penalize, but it's silly by Max in the first place
He hasn't over took him?
Your supposed to follow the car in front. Not pull alongside. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...MQFnoECCQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0E9l6RvJ_5DKp71wRMD21R
Clear as day... Line up. Join the line etc etc.
Your supposed to follow in a line behind the safety car, not drive side by side.
Turn 1 seemed to cause plenty of problems, quicker to list those who didn’t get it wrong at least once than those who did.
Shame about the yellow flag on that last lap, could have been very entertaining but good race none the less.

no, you need to allow any of the car alongside you, not all the car alongside you.
Alonso was the driver of the day despite everything. Racing IQ still second to none.
In Bahrain Alonso let Ocon go when Ocon was faster. Ocon should have done the same today. Alonso was clearly faster today. Their battle was bad for their tyres. They handed Russell P5.
Max and Charles did good to give us a exciting race on that track. I hope DRS is done away with as soon as possible though, it's a bit of a mess when people are actively trying not to be first because us of it (they both did it because given the rules it's the smart thing to do, so I don't blame either, the rules need changing though).
Was he though? He was clearly running longer in the first stint and well positioned, the SC neutralised the strategy, gave track position but he was probably going to drop back all he gained, same as Magnussen.
Russell drove a low key good 5th.
Rekt
Without DRS that race would have been boring as shit. It's the only thing stopping the fastest engine winning every race by default.
Yeah the DRS stuff is a bit odd.
Agreed, it's too powerful now. I think they may still need something so the advantage isn't given back to the car in front, but DRS is clearly too powerful with the new regs.
It feels like they may need to allow the wing to open, but to a lesser extent now - we didn't see any overtaking without it, so they have to be careful about scrapping it entirely.
The last thing him and magnussen wanted was a safety car at that time. No idea how people can think that was an advantage.
Sainz, Perez and Magnussen in trouble for not slowing under double yellows.
Great race. Amazing last few laps, I'm liking these new regs so far.
And well done Max getting it done at the end when it mattered

Yeah, it was hilarious hearing Tsunoda over the radio in Drive To Survive. Constantly cursing like a sailor while complaining about everything. (Got called out for that by his boss as well, especially cause it's frustrating and irritating for the pit crew.)
