Yeah somebody posted that before, I had not noticed it, last season they had a reliability problem, that's one thing they seem to have sorted.
Leclerc was excellent, his strategy was terrible though and there is a reason he was stuck behind the likes of Ocon. Even when they pitted him they made a mistake when to do it and he was stuck in crowd again, absolutwly ridiculous strategy.
This is one of the worst takes I've seen on here and that takes some beating
Calm down, Lando.This is one of the worst takes I've seen on here and that takes some beating
Bratty how exactly? becuase he's annoyed at the team being completely amateur and leaving him sat in the pitlane without any tyres? or because the car is dog slow?
No points on the board? he's in 7th place with literally TRIPLE the points of Ricciardo. Perhaps if Ricciardo stopped bumbling around in 10th-15th place all year and actually drove like a lead driver, he wouldn't be in this position. The guy is washed.
I'm calm, it's just a stupid statement to make. There seems to be a running theme in his posts though so i'm not surprised.
He made a critical error, he wasn’t born a Schumacher.
Slipstream + DRS.
Ricardo has a win for McLaren… something Lando doesn’t have…This is one of the worst takes I've seen on here and that takes some beating

my own personal take is that i’d fecking hate to be spoken to like lando and max speak to their pit crews when things are going bad or a decision hasn’t been optimal. all of the drivers are whiny when things aren’t going their way but those two come across as teenagers moaning at their parents for everything wrong in their lives. the majority of the other drivers tend to moan more like disappointed dads at their kids.
Because the team told them to hold stations and not let Lando attack?
Yeah I understand that, but I guess it's part and parcel of being their engineer. You have to take it on the chin and remain cool.
Verstappen is not worse than Schumacher or Hamilton tbh. Maybe all winners are the same
yeah, thought that was great and what’s been missing for a while with max, i think he’d have benefitted from being put back in his box a little more often when he’s ranting and raving.
winners don’t like losing and hamilton of yesteryear was as bad, i thought ron dennis did a good job of sorting him out though. he still moans now but it’s done with a far more level head and it’s not a ranting and raving scream about how his engineer has ruined his life/race. it’s a “guys, why did we make that call, i said we should have stayed out.” he’s clearly pissed off but it’s done in a way where i’d respond to it better if i was in his team. half of max’s are silent because the expletives have been cut by the race director and it’s hard to pick up the other part as it’s just a scream.
At least he's not a robot like Russell, though.
Russell also caused a high-speed crash and slapped the guy he drove off track. Complete and utter cnut.
They made a good call when to bring Leclerc in but they screwed it all up by having a 5.8sec pitstop or something along those lines.
Yeah, this! Russell bothers me way more due to his lack of emotions. And his PR like response everytime. Same with Rosberg. Seems so fake.
Agreed, not sure it really adds anything unless it's a tactical radio call.
I think he lost lot of time behind Ocon(?) and couple of other drivers when he was already on old tires and it was time to pit. And again lost lot of time after pitting because he was again stuck in the crowd, but I think those 10-15 laps before first pit stop was when he lost at least 10-15 seconds for nothing.
Bit surprised that young George Russell seems to be getting so much stick here.
He's an awful boring cnut, though.
It's not how well he's driven or anything he's done this season, mostly how he acted with Valteri and the stuff we saw of him behind the scenes in D2S, where he came across as a bit of a weasel. And he is a robot, so a robot weasel.
Blimey! That's some erratic posting manner.
And you’re a massive spanner!
Only thing to consider is that Mercedes haven't been pushing as they are in their own race most of the time so less stress on the engine unlike Ferrari and Red Bull who are pushing each other along to the end most of the time.
It's not really. He's not a monster or a Max level of dickishness but he's definitely had a change in attitude recently from the friendly fun kid to one that has more of an attitude, is a bit of a dick to his crew on his radio and can be very surly at times.
Unfortunately, I think this is now the one season too many for Hamilton. The script was obvious (Hamilton wins the final race, wins the record-breaking 8th title, retires, gets his knighthood, and can focus on his charities and social justice actions) before that fecking idiot Michael Masi flipped it on the very end of the final race last season.
Last chance for Max to become a Honda champion. First since Senna. Beating 7x world champ Sir Lewis Hamilton, like Alsono did against Schumacher. The stars were aligned for an epic season. The end was controversial, but considering Silverstone and a couple other dodgy decisions throughout the year, it was a deserved win. Not saying Lewis wouldn't have deserved it, but let's move on from Masi please.
