He had the right, but it was a dick move.

Banker prediction since I just did my top 10, and also forgot to update these after FP2 last time...

2026 BARCELONA GRAND PRIX

5. Lewis Hamilton
6. Oscar Piastri
7. Max Verstappen
8. Isack Hadjar
9. Pierre Gasly
10. Carlos Sainz

Verstappen has melted down more times than most drivers, although in his defense the majority are well in his past. But right up until about 2018, it was a common occurrence.

Truly bizarre to claim Spain 2025 wasn't one such.

Exediron

It just isn't happening for Russell. Out of form and nothing is going right either. I think, increasingly, it's becoming clear that Russell is another Ricciardo. A very good driver. But not good enough when the guy in the seat alongside is one of the best . I think this is a tad unfair to Russell, ...

I think it would be reasonable if the penalties were for crossing the inside line on exit, be interesting if that was in the notes. But they said speeding. I haven’t worked out how to blame this on MBS but get rid of him! It is a strange one. As far as I see the rules set a maximum pit lane speed, ...

While Russell did basically get destroyed this time (and Antonelli should be leading in these votes by some margin admittedly), He was in no way "destroyed" last weekend. Being destroyed two out of the last three races is still pretty bad for someone who came into the season as the championship fav...

Fair enough. But perhaps Leclerc had a car capable of driving for the WDC in 2022. Put Verstappen in that car and I think we would have thought that he had a shot. The TD039 put to bed any chance of Ferrari winning any titles in 2022. We don't really know that. Again, put Verstappen in that car and...

Exediron

I think this is very much you imposing your beliefs on Leclerc. You don't know why he's chosen to commit to Ferrari, any more than anyone else does. But what we do know is that Leclerc has consistently said throughout his career that his dream is to drive for Ferrari, and since it's also consistent...

There's some irony that they have to stop cars going too fast. In a race!

Based on the last few years, they needn't have bothered. The teams will take care of not going fast around Monaco all on their own.

Banker prediction in case a dinosaur eats me tomorrow after FP2.

MONACO
1. Charles Leclerc
2. Lando Norris
3. Lewis Hamilton

Taking a gamble here. I feel like Mercedes won't have an advantage here with the characteristics of the circuit and the special rules, but it could easily blow up in my face if they do. 2026 MONACO GRAND PRIX 1.

Don't know how true this is but Sainz is definitely overshadowing Albon at Williams: Translation: Aston Martin, Alpine and Audi are said to have contacted Alex Albon to explore a possible signing However, no moves are expected this year at Aston Martin; it would only be in case Fernando Alonso ulti...

There isn't a driver in the history of F1 as good as Leclerc who has had to wait so many seasons before getting into their first car capable of challenging for the championship. I don't know why he keeps doing it to himself. As to the second point, Leclerc is obviously making a choice based the rel...

I just can't understand the votes for Antonelli other than him being voted for because he's looking like he's great and full of future potential considering his age and experience - but ignoring what actually happened on this specific sprint and race weekend. He now has more votes than Russell, des...

That's what F1 tends to do without the overtaking aids. I am pretty sure that kind of going around in circles is something that all forms of track racing have in common :lol: Well the going around in circles I was thinking of was like watching the paint drying or the grass growing, not much happeni...

Better late than never... very busy at work and in my social life right now, to the point where I haven't even watched anything from Canada and had to go out my way to fit the 500 in. Things will hopefully settle down for a double update in the Monaco poll. Yeah, sometimes it is just crazy. Good lu...

We may. Unfortunately we have no idea if it's true. Ultimately, a great battle ending in an easy move because of differences in available battery is not something I find particularly compelling. It's just not a skill I really care about. Obviously some people will and that's fine. People can like w...

Rumour: As per Sky Italia / BILD, Cadillac is losing patience with Bottas & his performance will be deeply monitored in Monaco. Herta is emerging as the one who'd replace him but he needs superlicense points for that too. I'm suddenly seeing a lot of X posts about this as if gaining steam. Can Hert...

The car just isn't working right at Red bull and we just know that Verstappen has more to give than he can with this car. This stupid energy system. He showed just how good he was when doing the 24H race last weekend. It really won't be that surprising if he leaves to a different series if things d...

Only after you bring in pecking order after you moving the initial point to extreme.

All sounds plausible. Who do Toyota have on their books? Ritoma Miyata who won everything in Japan and is currently 4th in F2 beating his teammate Colton Herta, however it has to be said his first 2 seasons were terrible. Nevertheless Toyota have persevered with him and it looks like he might final...

I think it is pretty clear. You (and some other posters) are keen to see more overtaking in the sport. That is totally fine. What you and others I think are missing is that overtaking is quite rare in Formula One bar some technical measures. Some of these measures promote artificial racing and that...

Exediron

I do sometimes wonder whether you are deliberately reading my posts in a certain way. Perhaps clarification will put your mind at ease. In the first lap of every race, there are usually multiple overtakes. That does not apply to all subsequent laps. Hence we get more overtakes in the first lap comp...

Formula 1 crowns a drivers world champion and is recognised as the pinnacle of motor racing. For that reason, on a fundamental level, it has to be an appropriate test of the skills of the drivers. That has to come first. Before any concerns about overtaking. That doesn't mean I want to see racing w...

This weekend is THE weekend. Looking forward to it myself of course with the provision that it is impossible to follow live for the whole race. With Le Mans I tend to spread it out over multiple days, but that also means avoiding (motor)sports news. Thought this was interesting as well. F1 champion...

Then people wonder why some of us have a problem with what we might call a 2 tier F1. Who has been penalised for running a car off the road, where contact isn't made, and coming out behind? Read the article Lawson said that Verstappen hit him, beyond that why is the team order from VCARB not being ...

Tbf to Russell, if the luck had went his way in China and Japan it could easily be 3-1 in his favour. Not that I think Antonelli has been especially lucky, or Russell especially unlucky. Nor do I think Antonelli doesn't deserve to be where he is - he does. It is just an observation. Russell probabl...

Exediron

Antonelli is an all-timer talent around Verstappen level I suspect. Russell is around a prime Ricciardo level driver. If so, then Antonelli is only a bit ahead of the program. In Verstappen's age-18 campaign (not his rookie season, so there's a small difference) he had stretches of looking better t...

The fact that 3 of the last 4 didn't even get an F1 drive is a much bigger problem than that none of them has won the title. As Paulo says, F1 WDCs are an awfully closed club, and of that list a grand total of one of them has had one actual shot at the WDC (likely to grow this year, but we can only ...

But how do we know George is 'underperforming'? Maybe he doing just fine and Kimi is just doing better? I don't know, doesn't look like George is over driving or making errors. Indeed it's sometimes a sad default to presume that another driver is underperforming, there really is no reference point ...

I guess, I judge mistakes that cost a lot differently to others. To me if you make a mistake that undoes your great performance earlier on, then the positives are not really there any more. For me personally, the fact that a single mistake destroys the value of all the work you did before is not on...
