Re: 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread
I can't even imagine the lambasting that drivers like Damon Hill and Eddie Irvine would have gotten if the internet was widespread and easily accessible in the mid '90s.

Leclerc was in a car that could go faster than either Mercedes even if they had DRS ! How is "holding off" the Mercedes a driver's accomplishment ?

Re: Driver(s) of the Day - 2019 Italian Grand Prix
Leclerc is my obvious vote. I was certain he was screwed in the strategy game once Vettel binned it. Didn't just hold off one Merc, he held off two. In years to come when we're looking back at his list of greatest race wins, this one will be the first entry on the list Perez for going from 18th to 7...

Yeah it was a great performance. He wasn't driving the 4th best car. Was Norris at Spa? Probably. It generally is. Unlike the McLaren of 2018.

Verstappen did the same thing in Singapore 2017 instead braking and slowing down he kept going.

At first I thought Kimi was somewhat at fault but then Max himself said he braked later than the guys around him. So for that reason I put the blame squarely on him. Norris showed us all how Max should have done it - he crawled around the apex and didn't touch a thing, came out the other side in 5th...

Lando Norris all day long. McLaren had no pace this weekend, as reflected in a subdued qualifying. They had no business fighting as high as 5th. Norris' Turn 1 was one the best of the season.
