Re: Monza 25: McLaren's position swap

Oscar didn't get 2nd position by fighting hard, he got it by sheer luck. There's nothing wrong with luck, but I would have much preferred him to overtake rather than have it fall into his lap. If teams tried to change things that got lucky/unlucky during a race, then we would never get anywhere. Lu...

Re: The Official Lando Norris thread

If a team is completely built around one driver, we'll never get a fair idea of how that driver compares to the grid until they leave it.

Re: Who is favourite for the championship?

Past "luck" has no baring on future luck though. It is just as likely for Norris to be the unlucky one going forward. Unless the stars perfectly align for him like Rosberg in 2016 or Prost 1989. It does happen. Piastri does not even require luck, he just requires an even amount of bad/good luck bet...

Hamilton in 6th, especially with Leclerc 5th is crazy to me. He's been beaten by Leclerc almost everywhere.
Hamilton is shown 7th in my screen, probably someone voted in the meantime. I don't mind Lewis in 7th (or even 6th), but I agree that it feels like Charles should be higher in the list.
