Nope:
Have we seen any of these live? I can't remember any of these.
3 overtakes by Vettel cleanly done on the track that the Monaco TV broadcast failed to show.

Yeah, I missed that.Nope:
first time I have seen these.

Mick is too marketable. Also, despite the crashes, he’s been there or there abouts as fast as K-Mag and I believe they’re level head to head so far this season in races. Mick just needs to score points and HAAS need to stop with the shit strategies like in Spain.Haas when they ditch Mick?
Magnussen has outqualified Schumacher five times out of seven and scored all of Haas’s 15 points to date. Schmacher needs to stop damaging the car and actually score some points. His name shouldn't give him a free pass in F1.Mick is too marketable.

Pretty much anytime the car has been a pig, Micks been the quicker of the two… as Gunter said himself, it’s a different beast driving the nuts off a shit box and being competitive in a fast car. We saw with George Russell that it wasn’t easy to go from the back to being midfield.
Absolute horseshit, I’m sorry. Magnussen is 10th in the WDC with 15 points. Mick is dead last with 0 points. He’s one of only two drivers not to score a point, by the way. After 7 races, that is not a coincidence. Magnussen is also outqualifying him and not destroying the budget by wrecking the car all the time.Mick is too marketable.

Agreed. I think teams are starting to come around to the idea that pay drivers (which Mick isn't per se, but he's in the cateogry of "in the seat not because of his driving skill") ultimately cost you long term. When Haas had Mick and Mazepin they had absolutely no idea what to do with the car because they had no quality feedback or benchmark on what the car can do. Similarly with Latifi now the shine is off and with Albon putting the car further up the field I expect him to be out of that seat sooner rather than later.Absolute horseshit, I’m sorry.

He might be marketable, but if he goes another full season without finishing in the points, I would think Haas has to look elsewhere.
I’m pretty certain I made it clear that mick needs to score points and that’s hurting him. I’m not making excuses for his lack of points but his pace is there. that’s the battle and what seperates him from the likes of maz-Latifi-strollAbsolute horseshit, I’m sorry.

Yes, he has beaten him twice this season, when they were both well outside the point. 13th vs. 14th in Australia and 14th vs. 17th in Spain. Not really anything to brag about. In Miami he was on course for points until he collided with Vettel, where he at least had some of the responsibility.I’m pretty certain I made it clear that mick needs to score points and that’s hurting him.

He beat k-mag straight up at Australia and Spain and was comfortably faster at Miami and on track for points before the safety car.
He went to Haas because one of the sponsors required a German driver.Mick is a Ferrari driver isn't he so will take something to be ditched, still got time on his side but needs to stop crashing at least. Being next to an experienced driver may help him this season, I'm suprised he never went to Alfa instead of Haas but maybe Ferrari have more influence at Haas.
Guenther SteinerHe went to Haas because one of the sponsors required a German driver.
My impression is that he was sent to HAAS to learn his trade. Drive a shit box and develop that necessary car skill in a lower pressure environment, knowing that in 2022, he would need to show his pace because HAAS did nothing at all in developing the 2021 car. It's pretty much the same thing Merc did with Russell. He could have been at McLaren or Aston but they kept him in Williams to learn.Guenther Steiner
“The 1&1 sponsorship is a Haas team sponsorship, it’s not a Mick sponsorship, just to clarify that. There is no direct connection between 1&1 and Mick. Obviously, 1&1 embraces Mick being at Haas, but this was a parallel development, not a combined development."
“But that, it was more like a decision from Ferrari where to send the drivers and we asked if we can have him because he won Formula 2. But it is not a direct negotiation going on between the company [1&1] and Mick.”
If you had actually read it properly you would understand it means the exact opposite - he was right not to have been punished because he didn’t break the current rules.So once again, Max doesnt get punished and the rules get updated for the next GP, which implies he should have been punished. Ferrari must be furious.

Oh no! Anyway...Looks like Lewis has the porposing back and badly
but alsoOh no! Anyway...
"Can turn it on and off""Fixed the porpoising" they said. "We understand the problem fully" they said.
Technically true, they either have to stiffen up the suspension until it breaks their drivers backs like they tried in Monaco or raise the ride height so they can't even get into Q3."Can turn it on and off"
It’s technically the truth. It’s not porposing when the engine is off."Can turn it on and off"

I can see the result now:I really hope Checo wins this one. The drama will become tenfold.
"Fixed the porpoising" they said. "We understand the problem fully" they said.
I don’t think Checo is good enough unfortunately but it would get very interesting if he could win here. The scenario above would move him 5 or so points behind Max and more or less level with LeClerc. I don’t think RB could move him out of Max’s way for the next few races in that scenario.I can see the result now:
Post-race after Checo won, and was always comfortably ahead of leClerc in 2nd Max in 3rd.
Jos Verstappen in an interview: It's a poor decision from the team not to allow Sergio to let Max through to help him win the race.
