Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix FP & Qualy/Sprint Thread
Frustrating to see Alonso and Hamilton not even try to race Verstappen. Neither of the moves he made on them were gimmies and overtaking was hard today. It's only a sprint at least actually give it a try. It wouldn’t make sense for them to defend. Too much time would be lost trying to prevent the i...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
You seemed to have explained it yourself in regards to legacy, weaker teammates and you don't get credit for beating a teammate you never had. In terms of titles with different teams, Verstappen chose to always drive for Red Bull. Hamilton moved when he lost faith in his own team, he didn’t move fo...

If the Verstappens engineers a move away from Red Bull because they can't get rid of Horner, I think Max is engineering himself a front-row ticket to watching someone else mop up the grid using the #1 RBR.
