Definitely irrationalI'm talking about posters here, not commentators. I don't know why but it makes me irrationally angry
We used to have a (since banned) annoying poster, one of a small handful actually, but he was the worst, who insisted on always referring to Pogba as Paul. It's just a bit weird and cringey, like people think they're on first name terms with them. Same with the nicknames thing- people who yelled 'go on Choccy/Sparky/whoever' always seemed smug weirdos who thought they were some ITK cos they knew a nickname.
It doesn’t bother me too much, I don’t think using first names implies a personal relationship. I see why you get it though, because when it comes to sport we are purely used to seeing players (in all sports) referred to by surname.
Madness that is.
No, primarily the increase in size is due to safety measures and some of the additional weight has come from the new tyres.
Thanks.
He is still team red bull lets not forget. A little favour to the boss with this one.
Strange thing to be fussed about. There's only 20 drivers so it's easy to go with first names. What's wrong with nicknames? Checo, ChuckI'm talking about posters here, not commentators. I don't know why but it makes me irrationally angry

Cheeky Nando
People who didn’t play with Rooney calling him Wazza still annoys me to this day.I'm talking about posters here, not commentators. I don't know why but it makes me irrationally angry

But they say it because they hear the commentators, managers and players say it. It's not exactly hard to understand. Yeah I'm sure there are a few people who say it because they're knobs but I'm sure you'll find other reasons to hate on those people if you feel the need to.
I know it's irrational, it's just one of those things that grinds your gears.Strange thing to be fussed about. There's only 20 drivers so it's easy to go with first names. What's wrong with nicknames? Checo, Chuck
Would people rather we just used first names everywhere, eg 1991- Michael, just before Pete's dominance. BREAKING NEWS: Man United have signed John...etc...
It's such a rubbish, puerile nickname. Gazza worked, but Wazza is lame.

It's never cold here, the food is amazing and tax is low , so all good, The.
yeah, they’re just upset that they’re not close enough to wayne to refer to him as all his mates do, wazza rooza.
Both my names are kind of unique, but my last name is difficult as feck so if I were some famous superstar I'd prefer them calling me by my first name. I give a lot of people nicknames so for me these things aren't important. I do agree some nicknames are shit though like Wazza.I know it's irrational, it's just one of those things that grinds your gears.

'United signed John' would be problematic though
If you haven't been invited to Wazzapalooza you haven't got any right to make a fuzza IMO
aye. i bet they were all team vardy instead of camp colly rolly.
Yeah my first name is very common, five letters, and my full surname is a really long 18 character double-barrel, so I guess I'd get the sameBoth my names are kind of unique, but my last name is difficult as feck so if I were some famous superstar I'd prefer them calling me by my first name.

Not a million miles off. It sounds vaguely posh til you hear my Hull accent and that shatters any illusion.better than a brummy one. it would be hard to command any respect after introducing yourself as jippoi jippingtonn- jipploi.
Did he not get a penalty for that? I thought it was 3 blue flags and you have to move over otherwise its a penalty?
Swrgio Perez extends with RB for two more seasons until 2024.
Jos Verstappen having a moan at RB for not getting Perez to give up the win for Max. Not withstanding there was a ferrari between them and a ferrari behind max.

The Monaco GP overtaking we all missed due to ACMs inept yearly coverage of the Monaco GP.

Perez signing so early and for so long is suprising given they have Albon and Gasly doing well. Closes the door for RIC, VET, ALO though I doubt they were on.
To be fair to him, he's performed much better this year. It will be interesting when the Mercs come back into the mix where he ends up.
What a turn around after getting kicked out of Aston Martin.

Jos Verstapen is even bigger kunt than Marko. Focking sociopath.
Another twist in events may see him actually ahead of Max in the WDC. Unlike Merc where one driver is clearly ahead for the forseeable , this can get very interesting.
I would absolutely love Perez to do a Rosberg. The only thing that wouldn’t make me want it is that I think after that season Hamilton became determined to not let a title slip from his hands and became a different beast. Would hate that to happen with Max but wouldn’t mind if it broke him mentally instead and he went back to being petulant.

Gasly could be done with F1 at this rate, he doesn’t want to stick around in the junior team and I can’t see Merc, Ferrari or McLaren making way for him as they have their own driver programmes, shame though as everyone from his generation seem to have landed in a good seat.
Haas when they ditch Mick?
3 overtakes by Vettel cleanly done on the track that the Monaco TV broadcast failed to show.

No doubt Mick will get ditched at some point but it's a sideways move for Gasly,
Full interview below, sounds like he's expecting everyone to bend over for Max now but he really needs to watch what he says to the media.
The championship leader, Max, was not helped in that sense by the chosen strategy. It turned completely to Checo's favour. That was disappointing to me, and I would have liked it to be different for the championship leader.

Like father like son. Entitled and arrogant.
Had a weekend away in Nice and got ourselves tickets for the race and qualifying last weekend.
Just got back.
Yeah I know the racing is shit; but was an amazing experience being only a few metres from the track. Mexican couple next to us were in tears at the end.

Gasly will either go to McLaren or Alpine.
I know the rules and the RD made a mistake, l literally posted it myself. The point was merely that saying "he didn't gain an advantage" as mitigation if it was in the rules wouldn't have applied, because if it was against the rules and you come that close the person you're undercutting, you don't get the benefit of the doubt and he would have been penalized for gaining the place.
After the Spain GP events, something inside told me Checo had his chance of getting back at Monaco. When I saw the Ferrari screw up, I knew it was gonna happen. I felt bad for Leclerc but that’s how it is.
Checo, as long as he keeps improving his results as he currently is, will give it a hard time for Red Bull to choose placing him as a sidekick to Max. Next race it’s at Azerbaiyán where he won last year and the next races will also be to RBs favor due to being long tracks. I think he can be a dark horse for the remainder of the season and would love him to do a Rosberg. He waited 190 races for his first win and 12 years for the opportunity to drive a winning car, he has everything to win and nothing to lose. His moment is right now.
