Wow Max, what a lap. Love the radio between him and GP as well with Max apologizing
They looked quicker than Ferraris after the first two sectors, but they lost it in the third by the looks of it?Bit poor by McLaren?
Max turned the engine up to the Max ?
A all time great driver in an all time great carWTF Max just scrapes in to Q3 then puLls out a lap that is 0.820 ahead , just HOW ??
Keep thinking it's only the carThat RB should be banned 0.8 seconds. Fecking hell.
Piastri was shown as purple in the 2nd sector so not sure what unfolded after that, but guessing it's where it was lostThey looked quicker than Ferraris after the first two sectors, but they lost it in the third by the looks of it?
It is the carKeep thinking it's only the car
cant disagreeA all time great driver in an all time great car
Think he was running more wing hence very fast S2 but slower in S3.Piastri was shown as purple in the 2nd sector so not sure what unfolded after that, but guessing it's where it was lost
Probably because his Q2 lap involved 4 wheel drifting?WTF Max just scrapes in to Q3 then puLls out a lap that is 0.820 ahead , just HOW ??
Its hard to benchmark Max because he doesnt have a rosberg equivalent as his teammate. Hes on his way to an all time great, but other than 2021, the battles are missing (not his fault).People go on about Lewis having Nico, I don’t know if it would matter with Max if he had a good teammate he’s ruthless and doesn’t really have off days. By the way I’m not saying he’s better or worse than Lewis at his best, just feels like he’s more ruthlessly efficient, we’ve seen it with him getting the fastest lap when he’s already off in the distance with the championship.
They have a great relationship. GP doesn't have any of that bullshit, which I think Max respects.Wow Max, what a lap. Love the radio between him and GP as well with Max apologizing
Quite a few are, new thread ? Yeah maybe but there is not that many posts about.Anyone playing the new F1 manager game? Should maybe make a thread
Fair pointProbably because his Q2 lap involved 4 wheel drifting?
The teams themselves were against it as well due to safety concerns, so I don't think ignoring that and making them to go out anyway would've been a good decision.what a load of bullshit. Used to be times in the FPs if qually couldnt be run. People pay money to go see F1. Make them go out. Get data as a minimum. Just look at the order right now. Zero chance of that being the order at end of FP if FP decided the grid if qually couldnt be run. Fecking FIA.
Im going to say it, then get burned when it doesnt happen. But i think piastri will win a gp before end of season. RB is unstoppable (unless perez is at the wheel), however parts penalties might screw them somewhere ala singapore where its difficult to overtake, even in a rocketship.I'm not a Max fan, since I'm a diehard Ferrari team for a long time. But I have a presage that he will win every circuit from Belgium to Las Vegas. The red Bulls are fecking unstoppable now.
Tmr, I hope my boy Leclerc will be on the podium.

Wut?verstappen is nailed on for a third consecutive world title, but will he ever win one without a shroud of controversy? he is using too many gearbox parts, showing a blatant disregard for the rules.
You tell that joker RimaldoRimaldo rules are the same for everyone . He gets a grid penalty .
It's rimaldoWut?
How was 22 controversial other than them fecking up Japan's procedure (basically taking a straight up celebration opportunity away), and what is this about his gearbox?

All this talk about Piastri lately kinda emphasizes how brutal and cutthroat of a sport it is in a way. Guys like Charles, Lando, George, and a Dany before have all been long talked about as the next greatest thing. Even an Ocon, Pierre and Alex have gotten some similar shouts. Must be hard to cope with that at times. Though by the same token- they probably experienced something similar when they come up through the lower ranks of the sport.https://www.statsf1.com/de/statistiques/pilote/victoire/gp-avant.aspx
Piastri has some time...
Mansell had 72 GP before his first GP win. Hamilton after 6 GP. Senna 16 GP. Prost 21 GP. Vettel 22 GP. Max 24 GP. Piquet 24 GP. Alonso 30 GP

Yeah, he needs to win without by far the fastest car on the grid to be in that conversation, or at least have a big hand in making the car that way. He's ruthless and consistent but you can't stack him against the likes of Senna and Schumacher until we see him in that environment. Vettel won four in very similar circumstances to now and nobody sees him in that company.Its hard to benchmark Max because he doesnt have a rosberg equivalent as his teammate. Hes on his way to an all time great, but other than 2021, the battles are missing (not his fault).
We really need either a inter-team rivalry or another team to push max to the utter limit ala Mercedes/Hamilton 2021. Its the only way to truly gauge his racecraft, mental strength, temperment. At the moment its just too easy. Hopefully a team can challenge RB in 2024 or 2025. Come 2026 he wont be in the best car anymore (as the history of F1 goes with major rules changes).
This is interesting, posted on The Race website. The similarities between verstappen and piastri.All this talk about Piastri lately kinda emphasizes how brutal and cutthroat of a sport it is in a way.

Like in 2021?Yeah, he needs to win without by far the fastest car on the grid to be in that conversation
