The bottler strikes again. Norris really does not deserve this championship. Just too many errors.
Russell the meanest driver in f1. A championship battle between him and max would be epic.
Ferrari really nowhere. Hamilton very slow. Damage again. What a sad team.

Seems now Verstappen has to be at his best behavior at least in Canadian Grand Prix weekend. If he's at his typical aggressive self & gets even 1 more penalty point, he'll be banned from the Austrian Grand Prix, home of Red Bull. Sadly I don’t think he can control his anger. But this one was clearl...

It really is a standard manoeuvre in modern F1 that the car who is slightly ahead on a straight squeezes the trailing car but leaves a car width's space. No accidents happen because the trailing driver responds to the squeeze and takes evasive action. We see this a dozen times in each and every GP ...

Not sure what happened to Leclerc. Mclaren 1-2 was expected. Max did well. I thought Russell, Leclerc would beat him. Hadjar is doing great job, I think he is going to be in RBR soon which probably is not good for him. lol. Hadjar should stay put. At this point we already know if he moves there he ...

Seems like this flexi wing change made no difference. If anything I was expecting a Red Bull to be better than they were, maybe it hurt them most These mid season reg changes never seem to have the intended effect. Renember the quali mode ban. Mclaren looks even further ahead now. Tomorrow is gonna...

Where has Red Bull's pace gone?
It moved to Aston Martin last year, currently having a sabbatical, believed to return fully next year.

Indeed. The newey effect is already starting too. Another q3 appearance for AM.

I hate comparing drivers from different eras. It’s impossible to tell. The cars aren’t the same the level of competition is not the same and the training and tools available aren’t the same. It’s impossible to tell. Useless discussion.

The move to Ferrari will go down as a mistake. Especially now that the Merc is the faster car. And next year Merc is rumored to be the dominant force again. He should have just taken one year contracts until he retired at Merc. At least one more shot at the 8th title in 26. Though I’m not sure he w...

Here is a simulation lap of the circuit: 1915691544272646275 Theres no flow to this thing. Lots of awkward and seemingly unnecessary downshifts for some boring corners. Doesnt look fun to drive or to watch a race. And couldnt they have picked an error free lap to showcase the track? The driver near...

Says Tsunoda who finished 9th just 10 seconds behind Verstappen he could have chased after Gasly as well. finishing 9th/10th would be par for 5th best car, no? When you're hemmed in behind the 8th placed car, maybe Norris was in the second best car given that he only finished 3rd, Its hard to be th...

I winder what is there to discuss? They are no longer the top manufacturer. When Newey left it was the beginning of the end. They will try their hardest to hold on to Max but somehow i think Max is going to AM.

kleefton

Verstappen has a good chance to win it yes. But for me while he faces no challenges inside his team and that will not change the whole year there are other drivers who can take points away from him while the mclarens are still winning most of the time. Right now it’s only Russell really but as the ...

Controversially I've gone for Piastri, I felt his race was stifled by his teammate. The thing is tough, he qualified behind even when Norris made a mistake earlier on and i think that should have enabled him to get pole. Both of them should have beaten Verstappen. Still, Norris did outqualify Piast...

kleefton

That is how i heard what he said too: There is something wrong or defective with his car. No idea where the thought that he was implying the cars are not equal comes from.

Anyway my takes from the race, Verstappen won from the faster McLaren's, I'm not sure what Norris was playing about if he was looking to save tyres when there seemingly was no need, maybe he just didn't have the pace, Verstappen has to be relieved that it wasn't Piastri directly behind him. Hamilto...

Tsunoda said after testing he had no problems to adapt to the car. I expect him to be in Q3, significantly behind Verstappen, of course. In the race, you never know if and when he blows it. ;) It tends to be VCARB that blows the races for Tsunoda. Well, Tsunoda was ahead of the Ferrari's and on the...

kleefton

Tsunoda - no doubt. Lawson is mentally in a downward spiral and will struggle. Edit: well, except if Tsunoda crashes again, of course. I think it could quite easily be the other way around, depending on how much Tsunoda struggles. It is more likely that they will be in a similar position on the tra...

kleefton

Sprint weekend makes it little difficult to predict but I still think Mclaren is the best car. Ferrari, Mercedes are all comparable and Max as always is there. Not sure what is wrong with Lawson and Sainz. Colapinto was up to speed immediately and on par with Albon and beat several times as well. H...

kleefton

Hamilton only had one bad year in the ground effect era and that was last year and he still managed 2 wins. I was predicting in last year's preseason that it would be a bad year too because I knew Merc would put all their horses behind Russell and keep Hamilton out of the major development of the ca...

kleefton

Wild predictions for the season after race one. Hamilton retires after this year... Verstappen is off... Probs to Mercedes. Lawson gone by Silverstone, yuki gets promoted. There is zero chance of the first two happening imo. Hamilton surely wants to see what 2026 looks like before making any big de...

kleefton

So Albon is 1-0 against Sainz in qualifying head to head. Happy to see it. I know a lot of Albon haters thought Sainz was going to crush Albon. Not so fast.

kleefton

Well, is Lawson going to be another Perez and regularly fail to progress from q1? How many giant sized posters of Perez are there in your bedroom? What does that have to do with a repeat of exactly what happened with Perez pretty often? Maybe You don't know what happened to other no. 2 drivers in t...

25 will be a defining year imo. So far he's shown he's not quite as fast as Norris but can match him or beat him on occasion, but the consistency is severely lacking. The worry for him is that Norris did not have a good season and still beat him handily. If Norris irons out his starts and is more aw...

kleefton

So disappointed Yuki didn't get the drive. Lawson to me already showed he will not be good. He's already conceding that he can't beat Max. Not the right attitude to have going in. But RBR got what they wanted; someone they know Max will be quicker than and that will happily accept the number 2 role....

kleefton

Max is already the favorite for next years championship imo. Unless the redbull car becomes clear midfield, he just isn’t going to have competition in the second seat while all his rivals have tough teammates. As far as who would beat him in the mclaren? Imo. It’s Leclerc, young Hamilton and peak Al...

kleefton

There could only be one winner. Even as a non fan I have to say it was one of the very best drives I’ve ever seen. Max is so incredibly talented, an alien, an absolute alien.

kleefton

verstappen feeling the pressure, championship is definitely going to the last race I don’t understand why he seems to be panicking. He has a huge gap in the points still so why not avoid any penalty and stay well within the rules? Very interesting though. The way he drove at the end of the 21 champ...

Following his penalties in Mexico it looks like Max has followed the pathetic order of Alonso and determined he is a victim of his nationality as those evil Brits are out to get him as well. If it weren't for those bloody Brits he'd be unstoppable! Oh wait no actually he wouldn't have a car to driv...

Redbull should be able to run the new pu at a higher power mode than before since it only has to do a handful of races. Whether that translates into significantly faster lap times that remains to be seen.

kleefton

Max vs lando incident: This was Brazil 21 all over again. I guess if max keeps getting away with it why stop now. It’s been pretty successful. Norris not closing the inside line on lap 1 was lol. The guy is so bad at wheel to wheel. Who would have thought. Lewis: The season looks to be getting worse...

kleefton

He's struggling in qualifying but ultimately how far up the standings do you expect him to be in the 4th best car with a team that's messed up his last 2 races. I honestly don't know what to say anymore. Whilst you agree that Hamilton is struggling in qualifying, which is a major part of Formula On...

kleefton

Well Hamilton had his say on it yesterday - The team recommended the strategy and he ultimately agreed. He's no problem with the team and all is good internally. Just believe what you want to believe and ignore what he said before that, sounds more like a PR exercise. Yup. That is what i think too....
