Exediron and King Void (in locked thread) - why Russell over Verstappen? Consistency. Usually a strong point for Max, but this season he's let two really obvious results go by either driving errors, red mist moments, or a combination of both. Russell on the other hand has not only dominated a very ...

Here is how I voted in the poll: 1 Russell 2 Verstappen 3 Piastri 4 Leclerc 5 Norris 6 Hulkenberg 7 Alonso 8 Gasly 9 Hadjar 10 Albon 11 Sainz 12 Hamilton 13 Antonelli 14 Bearman 15 Ocon 16 Bortoleto 17 Tsunoda 18 Stroll 19 Lawson Clearly, my biggest disagreement (by far) is where I've put Hamilton. ...

Okay, I've finally got enough free time to actually vote. I view the role of team principal as putting the right people in the right places, including going out and recruiting those people and retaining them, as well as putting the right structures, cultures, etc together to allow the team to functi...

I think that Horner is ranked too bad here. Ferrari would be happy with 2 GP victories this season. Would Ferrari be happy going from 9 wins the season before, and 19 a year before that, into a place where they have to fight tooth and nail for 2? Red Bull in 2023 was an unstoppable juggernaut. The ...

The problem with assessing anything about Verstappen at Red Bull is that there's pretty obviously something weird going on at that team with the second seat. Now, I'm no fan of Verstappen, and I think that's pretty obvious. He is a very talented driver. As a complete package, he's probably the best...

Yeah, what Piastri did was unusual and dangerous. Deserved penalty. Shame for him, because it was totally unnecessary, but at least it's a lesson he won't forget.

And yet, that was what Schumacher did on his very first F1 race. So who knows, perhaps Franco is also on his way to 6 driver titles... And if he is to be replaced, I feel Jack Doohan should be given a decent second chance. Even an overrated driver like Prost "won" 3 (thanks to the unfair FIA rules ...

Exediron

I don't know but I certainly feel less confident that Red Bull can rebuild into a championship contender now than I did before they sacked Horner. We could also be seeing a fresh new Red Bull in many a way. Am expecting 2 new drivers & am not keeping Russell out of the picture. With a Ford engine a...

Does anyone here believe that Mekies has the format and the competences to successfully lead Red Bull?

I don't understand why this is still something that keeps coming up like some sort of bombshell. Yes, Prost had a weight advantage. Before 1994, that was part of Formula 1, and had always been part of grand prix racing. Prost can only be viewed in the context of the era he raced in, one in which hi...

I'd be happy to see Horner purchase Alpine, if only so he can immediately sack that crook Briatore.

This must be one of the more split votes overall in a while, with multiple teams having an unclear decision.

I doubt either of these drivers would want to drive RBR against Max and ruin their career

Does it even matter what Max is doing in the car? Yuki's results lately would look dire if he was alone, never mind Max.

As per rumours in the paddock, Colapinto's retirement during the British Grand Prix formation lap was due to him burning the clutch because of which the car got stuck in 2nd gear. He has done this the second time after Barcelona. If this rumour is true, his days are really numbered because burning ...

George Russell at Red Bull is such an unintuitive partnership.

Verstappen for Russell is a pretty hilarious swap in fact, because it might be the teams on the grid I feel are the worst fit for both drivers in terms of company culture relative to how I perceive the drivers' personalities.

Exediron

... Literally nobody on his forum, and barely any in the media is talking about a intrateam WDC "battle" with two drivers separated by 15 points. Why is that? Why are you not talking about it if it's as interesting as you claim it to be? Or rather not as dull as the posters you clap back at are cla...

Exediron

Tbh Norris, Piastri, Russell, Leclerc and even an aging Hamilton are all pretty interchangeable (with Leclerc being the one I think may be the next best). An aging Hamilton has been soundly beaten by both Russell and now (even more so) Leclerc, so I don't think he can be considered in that group an...

Exediron

Well, a close season with greatness on full display is obviously what would be anyone's dream. But seeing a Schumacher dominate the field is something I prefer over what we saw yesterday. And I disliked Schumacher with a vengeance! For you F1 is all about Verstappen, greatness is him overcoming the...

Max surely be looking at his options right now. Any credible(?) rumors, yet ? First of all there are so many rumours about what Verstappen's exit clause might be, the latest I heard is Red Bull need to finish top 3 in the WCC by the summer break which surely isn't going to happen, this may also exp...

I just watched it. Not going in with the intention of finding as many things wrong about it as possible or expecting a deep thinking classic, I basically enjoyed it. For what it is -- a fun summer blockbuster sports film that's also an advert for F1 -- it does a pretty good job. The only things that...

In hockey I believe you can challenge a goal or penalty or something which will then be reviewed but you will get a penalty if the review turns out unwarranted. Each team gets a single Coach's Challenge per game, which can be used to challenge any goal on a specific grounds (goaltender interference...

What can be said now that Lawson was able to qualify 6th in Austria? He's the same driver who qualified dead last in his first & only 2 races with Red Bull? Should we assume Lawson has now become that good or can we safely say that the second Red Bull car is the toughest seat to qualify in (Tsunoda...

Not looking forward to the battle of the has beens.

But think of all the juicy and dubiously usable date for Verstappen/Hamilton comparisons!

Just got back from seeing it. Oh it's bad. Obviously the footage of the racing is OK, but we can see that for real every other weekend. The dialogue is cringe inducing and the acting awful. Pitt is so charismatic that is has the unfortunate effect of showing up the rest of the cast. Condon is the e...

Exediron

In the world where he takes the corner a little slower I think Charles is all over the back of him heading into the straight and easily gets by with the slipstream and superior grip into the braking zone. Maybe, but if Charles is only alongside into the braking zone, I'd back Max to find a way to s...

Jean Alesi is the same age as Brad Pitt........ Jean Alesi was washed up and the oldest driver on the grid 1/4 of a century ago.

Yes, that's why I wanted that "protested" to get that leniency on the record instead of just something we generally accept , I think it's an incredibly stupid standard of practice. Unfortunately, F1 stewarding doesn't really work by precedent, so I don't know that it makes any difference for it to ...

I think Max was trying to thread a needle that may not have had an eye (take enough speed into the corner to be able to hold off Charles but not too much speed to lose grip). Isn't it possible Max took the amount of speed he thought was necessary to be able to maintain position down the straight, a...

Exediron

Yeah, just drive slower so Leclerc can pass him properly on the straight ... sigh ... Sometimes I really wonder how you come up with this stuff. You think that Verstappen is slower if he drives to the actual limit of the tyres rather than being totally sidewards and nearly crashing. No one ever dri...

I’m a bit late to the conversation on this one but did people have the same apparent dislike of Russell’s character before he moved to Merc? I've disliked Russell ever since he crashed Bottas out and then ran over to his car to hit him on the helmet, and nothing since has made me think it's not fun...

Exediron

Take your pick. I don't know that another driver couldn't do as well as Verstappen of course. I'm looking at the performance of his teammates over the last few years and making a prediction that I think is best found in evidence. It's well over a year now since anyone but Verstappen finished higher...

That's actually really good 8) And as you say, looking at the table what seems like an unusual choice actually makes sense now. Thanks for pulling that together :thumbup: :) Thank-you.
