F1 is dead. They bent the rules mid race to choose the winner 2 seasons ago. Then changed the rules to give that same team a massive advantage. Now that team is winning every race. Boring.
Only cause Max doesnt have a teammate who can really push him. Hamilton had Rosberg. Less said about Bottas the better.Mercedes won 7 WDCs in a row. Red Bull are on their third, and people are already crying about it.
F1 cant be fair or interesting unless a Mercedes driver is winning the title by 100 points over their team mate who's second in the standings.Mercedes won 7 WDCs in a row. Red Bull are on their third, and people are already crying about it.
Norris isn’t world championship material at allHave to say it's looking like Russell or Norris will be winning a world title before Leclerc.
Norris when he gets his big ticket move to Red Bull or Mercedes.
No but if he gets into a Red Bull and Max leaves F1 in 2029 he could well end up one.Norris isn’t world championship material at all
Trying to slow them down wouldn’t gave the same effect because of the cost cap, even in the merc dominated years they had a good designed car just the engine was a shit box.Only cause Max doesnt have a teammate who can really push him. Hamilton had Rosberg. Less said about Bottas the better.
Stick any of leclerc, russell, hamilton, alonso, norris in the other RedBull seat and you'll have a much more entertaining inter team dynamic straight away. Plus max would be put under pressure. Sergio Perez just isnt of the level required.
Its not Red Bulls fault that they nailed the regs and mercedes and ferrari screwed them up.
Unfortuntely the cost cap has become the new token system and is stopping teams from trying to close the gap to RedBull.
Lets see if the FIA do something with the rules to slow RB down as they did to Merecedes in 2020.
I know. Max has had ONE season where he has dominated, and that was last season. Domination is never fun in the sport, but people are going on as if he's been doing it for 10 years. Now he may well go on and do just that but, again, it's been ONE season. And the season before that was one of the best seasons in recent memory. A season that brought in a lot of new viewers.Mercedes won 7 WDCs in a row. Red Bull are on their third, and people are already crying about it.
It's really hard to judge Norris, to be fair. I rate him quite highly, but that car is sooo shit, it's hard to get a good read on him.Norris isn’t world championship material at all
Again though, it just comes down to if it's your man dominating or not, as opposed to any objective truth about who's worse than who. I find Toto Wolff to be infinitely worse than anyone who works at Red Bull. Max can be a right knob, Hamilton has spent years being a knob. Max is typically more abrupt and explicit in being a knob, whereas Hamilton is a lot more snide. And the two of them like a good whinge. Both of them will turn people off unless you're a fan of them.the Mercedes years were wank for the sport too but it’s an Irish forum with a lot of brits so you’ll see more have an affinity for Lewis during those years. It doesn’t help either that Horner is a cock, marko is a cock and somehow max is a bigger cock than Lewis so they’re just a really unlikeable team unless you are a fan of them. There are plenty of teams that I don’t like but they’re just boring so it doesn’t matter. Red bull are extremely unlikeable so that’s probably why you get the annoyance more than you do for Mercedes and Lewis.

This car was built around him and it’s a dog. Safe to say that I don’t think he actually knows how to setup a car or give proper feedback that engineers can work with. Piastri will be regretting his decision to piss alpine off while they throw everything behind Lando…It's really hard to judge Norris, to be fair. I rate him quite highly, but that car is sooo shit, it's hard to get a good read on him.
How is weaving like that allowed !! At 200 mph it is an accident waiting to happen, at that speed a massive one,Anybody catch the Indy 500? I saw the finish on Twitter, that weaving, yikes! Great finish though.

I guess I just don't like IndyCar (from the little I've seen). I mean, VeeKay said before the race his strategy was to stay second for as long as needed to save fuel and when you see the races in general the car in front often is a sitting duck so I can see why he'd go for that strategy. If he hadn't made that mistake in the pits there's a good chance it'd have worked. And because of that you see stupid shite like the insane weaving. And then there's the ovals.. they're even worse than the F1 street circuits!Anybody catch the Indy 500? I saw the finish on Twitter, that weaving, yikes! Great finish though.

No obviously its legal but its really dumb to allow it.If he doesnt weave he doesnt win.
Nothing wrong with it if its not in a braking zone.
I think they should restrict it to within the confines of the racing track. Weaving on the run-off and pit entrance looks nasty and bush league, this is the Indy 500!No obviously its legal but its really dumb to allow it.

Good one! F1 really is a joke isn't itI hate that, how's that acceptable racing at 200 mph?
This is phase I. From what I read they will be revealing more about this factory soon.Just looks like an office?

Think it's worth clarifying that the F1 team and the car brand are seperate. Geely's share of AML has doubled as a result & probably a sign of a takeover at a later date.Tweet

A podium is probably their best hope here. Still think they'll be around 4th-6th and we won't see any significant improvement till Silverstone unless Aston Martin's upgrades in-season fail to impact.Be interesting to see what Mercedes can do here. If the B-spec car is the improvement they hope it is they should be able to get a result here. Podium is possible since this track is heavy on the tyres and the Mercedes is pretty good in that regard. A lot better than the Ferrari at least. Don't think they can get near Red Bull (unless RB cock up their set-up or their update package is a failure of course) but the question is can they take the fight to Alonso?
No stranger than supporting a football team over an individual player. I support whoever is driving a red car. It's a shame we're shit.Also, I always found it strange to root for a specific team. I've always been this way in all the years I've watched the sport. Just always found it odd to be vehemently for or against a specific car manufacturer.
Finally breaking into to 10.Standings after Round 6
I would have had 1 more if I remembered to set my lineup and choose Verstappen for pole!
Not the same thing at all. Obviously, I have no problem with people cheering on whoever they like. Just never appealed to me. All about the driver.No stranger than supporting a football team over an individual player. I support whoever is driving a red car. It's a shame we're shit.
