I got my wish, first decent result in a while.

The 5 retirements were all rookies, out of their depth in those conditions, even Bearman the sole survivor went off a few times, yes Cadillac should employ rookies or maybe not.

I do have a bit of sympathy for piastri here, seemed like he was trying to catch back up with the SC then theee was a late call to bring the SC in so its lights went off and Piastri slowed as he was then in charge of creating a sufficient gap to the SC so it was out the way for the restart That's e...

129 I'm hoping that's half decent.

Anyway, Cordeel costing his teammate Dunne the victory through sheer incompetence.

Cordeel shouldn't even be in F2 he's a rich pay driver.

Blast from the past.....

Ricciardo asked Norris if his balls had dropped yet.

pokerman

Sure, but a year later I would have expected the gap to grow. As that was the trend within Red Bull already. How much? Who knows? You obviously don't know it hardly grew from 2017 to 2018, interesting how Verstappen's performance grows more after 4 years in F1 yet we look to pigeon hole Norris' per...

I probably love Dick Dastardly almost as much as I love Daffy Duck. They have got a certain, how should I put it, determination about them. Back on-topic, yes, I would like racers to race hard. What is wrong with that? Parking your car at Monaco in order to secure pole position is not racing hard, ...

pokerman

I don't think it is all that different. Sure, it is nice to get good feedback about the car, but the first few years there are much more important matters to concentrate on. I would simply stick a couple of talented pay drivers in to get the money flowing that can fund part of getting the organizat...

pokerman

I honestly don't see it. It makes much more sense to Wolff to keep Antonelli than to keep Russell. Not great for us, but probably the smart move for Mercedes. At this moment in time I would be somewhat concerned for Antonelli, I'm not seeing any progress. Sometimes it is hard to see where you are c...

Starting to think F2 would be wild for a Pick 10 game! I assume it wouldn't get much interest but the scores would be comically low half the time. Nobody tell the Games Master

You realise that it was a reverse grid race.

Montoya really in good shape, atm. Looks comfortably quicker and better than Minì. Some penalties (Stanek, Dürksen, Browning/Martins) incoming? I guess, Verschoor will win a couple of places post race. Montoya seems to be doing better in the faster cars, however we soon forget with Mini that he qua...

pokerman

Incredible lap by Verstappen while Bearman is an advert for why a new team should go for experienced drivers, rookie drivers do dumb things, a great qualifying gone to waste.

pokerman

Yes, high confidence because in his view he probably was second-best after Verstappen. But I wasn't expecting great things from him, because it was already clear he wasn't amongst the very best. Switching teams a few times in short succession probably didn't help matters. He was less than 2 tenths ...

pokerman

Why would I be interested in what benefits Verstappen when I would have the same view if he wasn't in Formula One today? Yes, I would like drivers to go for the proverbial kill, in particular amongst teammates. This harmony that the McLaren driers are portraying is not for me. But each to his or he...

I don't think Verstappen is specifically looking for #1 status. As long the teams is principally focused on delivering a car that enables him to compete on equal footing to the competition. Sure, Jos Verstappen might be very vocal in the press, but I don't think it means much. He's clearly going to...

Yes, you need to know how operations work. So you get experienced hands in those areas. Like the Jonathan Wheatley's of this world and their respective underlings. And of course you get the best car designers and engineers you can get your hands on, which simply takes a load of cash. Why on earth w...

Once Verstappen makes his move or announcement is made (come summer break), all the attention will shift to Russell. Red Bull seems likely but Aston Martin can't be completely ruled out. Also if Verstappen has agreed to Wolff's offer, will he be joining with the same conditions of being the no. 1 d...

Because Hülkenberg and Ocon are solid midfielders and Ricciardo's confidence was still high after leaving Red Bull. Perhaps me not expecting great things from Ricciardo makes me an outlier. If Ricciardo was trouncing them, that would be different. Contrary to your thinking I don't think Norris has ...

pokerman

Of course I can see a lot of people being tired of the Max Verstappen show. That is bound to happen with dominance. When it comes to one team with two drivers fighting it out for the title, that really only works when we have two drivers going at it with hammers and tongs and preferably when we hav...

pokerman

I am not discrediting anything. But beating Ocon and Hülkenberg is already a step away from tracking Verstappen in his final season at Red Bull. And that was all Ricciardo was doing in his final season there. So it is very plausible that Ricciardo suffered from a number of issues during his time at...

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...

pokerman

Let's get a bit of perspective here. Is anyone arguing that Norris is driving any better than last season? He is making more mistakes than ever, and it is clear he has great difficulty dealing with the pressure of expectations. I think quite a few, perhaps you included, have argued that Norris stil...

pokerman

Did I really write top 5? Silly me! Back on topic, sure Norris beat Ricciardo fair and square. Nobody really knows why Ricciardo went into a steady decline after leaving Red Bull, but even back at Red Bull and Racing Bulls he looked the worse of the lot. You know, those other drivers that Verstappe...

pokerman

You said above: "Piastri has clearly improved but for your argument you prefer the notion that Norris has fallen back to Piastri." I think the gap has closed because Piastri has improved in qualifying, Norris has bottled qualifying on a number of occasions, and the McLaren car is so dominant that i...
