In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
If Perez didn't hold Lewis up, Lewis would have had enough of a buffer to pit during the safety car. It wasn't the only reason Max won, but it was a factor.
We dont know when the order was given.
I agree it was a dick move if he was on his gearbox but I dont think he was. I think he got the order too late to do anything about it but I could be wrong.
Those words from Max on the radio don't look good.
Ok.
Perez’s defence cut Hamilton’s lead, without that Hamilton could have changed tyres under VSC with a gap to Max. Let’s not re-write history, Max owes Perez a hell of a lot for 2021.
Absolutely love Interlagos. Hope Lewis will get his win in Abu Dhabi, in the most controversial way possible 
Could see Russell winning a world championship
Perez team radio after the finish
I mean.. did you hear the radio message? if not, you should listen, and stop peddling this
Max was like 3 or 4 seconds ahead of Perez in the final lap. Would have been different if Perez had been able to keep up but he didn't.
Oh definitely.
That's juicy
Max caught up 6 seconds on Lewis because of Perez. He was about 10 seconds off when Latifi crashed. Don't know if that's enough of a buffer even under yellow flags.
Though the main point of contention is still how Perez "sacrificed his entire season"
He has a brake pedal, it’s literally a pointless thing to be controversial about and actually be a team player.
16s is more than enough with VSC for most tracks, I believeMax caught up 6 seconds on Lewis because of Perez. He was about 10 seconds off Hamilton when Latifi crashed. Don't know if that's enough of a buffer even under yellow flags.
Though the main point of contention is still how Perez "sacrificed his entire season"
He's very very fast. Give him the car and he'll be there or there about's no doubt. In equal machinary I don't think there is much separating the likes of Verstappen, Norris, Russell. LeClerc very quick on one lap pace but over his consistency is iffy.
All world champions end up being dicks while they're winning so much, it's always been that way. I actually can't remember a multiple world champion that was actually likeable while they were in the middle of winning all around them. It's very fecking rare.
Narrator: "He's a back to back championship winner"
Who is very angry ?
The thread today has been pretty tame.
Vettel being a very good example of this. He was unbearable and an outright twat while winning all the time. Ever since he stopped winning, he became such a great guy.
Maybe it's just Red Bull, though
By the way, what is wrong with Ricciardo, that's two races in a row where he's stuck his nose in where he shouldn't. It's pure incompetence, for someone of his experience inexcusable.
Not really, Hamilton pits and has fresh tyres for the last lap without Perez's defence. That race was not the only time Perez did something for Max last season....
Nah you see, I couldn't block this, comedy gold. Everything you put on here is full bias for Max, and maximum hate for Lewis. There is no balance and sanity. There is a reason why so many so-called "herberts" have you ignored - because everything you post adds zero value to the thread.Anyway, putting that aside, what a race. Interlagos never disappoints.
Yeah agreed, ruthlessness becomes a trait.
But Max was a bell-end long before he was a World Champion.
Its not worth it, where he is concerned Max is god, Mercedes and Lewis are the devil.
Nah not just red bull, I've found Hamilton unbearable since he started winning nearly every year, Schumacher was the same too.
They created the beast, it's too late to tame him now.
I know Max is your boy, but do you genuinely not think it was poor form to refuse to give the space back?
Given that Checo has been a brilliant wingman, has regularly sacrificed his own race for Max, yet even with the championship sewn up Max refused to help him out. That's about as petulant is it gets.
It adds comedy gold.Not really, Hamilton pits and has fresh tyres for the last lap without Perez's defence. That race was not the only time Perez did something for Max last season....

Tbf it's the other way around for most on here. Don't think anybody on here is neutral.
You're probably right that most people, me definitely included, aren't neutral. But there's a difference between favouring one driver and going full on North Korea about it
Yeh I agree, I've never really liked Max myself aswell, but he's definitely been worse since he's started winning alot.
That's why they cut the link before he said something worse.
Pretty sure he got told in good time and his reply (“I’ve already made my feelings clear on this”) suggest a premeditated decision to give nothing to your teammate… when you’re already WC. Looks cnutish
(edit “I told you already last summer, guys, don't ask that again to me. Okay? Are we clear about that? I gave my reasons, and I stand by it."
To have won the WC and have a chance for 1-2, then do this …. what a nob! Comes from Horner treating him like a spoiled child)
It only looks 'full bias' because of the amount of deluded vitriol and bitterness going in the other direction.Not really, Hamilton pits and has fresh tyres for the last lap without Perez's defence. That race was not the only time Perez did something for Max last season....
At least if it's comedy gold, there's presumably no need to whine so much about it then?
It feels like Horner and Marko enable and encourage that kind of stuff, though
Fair point, but he does take it to the extreme.
I make no secret I am no Max fan , but I give credit when it is due , I always have.
I am Lewis fan, but if he cocks up I will say so and I have many times.
Even Schumacher let Rubens win as “payback” after he won the world championship and it was a dead race [following Rubens letting MSC win a race when he was leading for the title]. No excuses for Max.
I missed the Max radio message , what did he say?
