Re: 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread

This race shows why people need to chill a little with Perez/Max/RedBull decision making. Perez is a good number 2, he is a super likeable guy and I doubt there is anybody out there that does not want him to do good, but he just does not have the consistent pace to sway decisions in his favor, he se...

Re: The Official Daniel Ricciardo Thread

The years as Vettel team mate severely skewed how good Ricciardo was. Vettel had a horrible time with the car at that time and everyone jumped into the "Vettel is done" train. But Ricciardo is no more than a good midpacker that dive bombs people to complete passes, he was never "that" good and was n...

Interestingly, I think Bottas' fastest lap (by about a tenth?) denied Hamilton a rare Grand Slam.
They were after Ricciardo record lap. I would have enjoyed for them to try to get Max, but guess those types of records are more important.
