Of course Liberty Media will throw a full SC . Gonna keep the race 'exciting' . I'm sick and tired of this prefabricating racing crap.

I'm well aware no one is forcing me to watch it , but it's been done on purpose over and over since Bernie sold the rights to LM.

Here is how I voted in the poll: 1 Piastri 2 Norris 3 Hamilton 4 Leclerc 5 Verstappen 6 Russell 7 Antonelli 8 Tsunoda 9 Hadjar 10 Albon 11 Stroll 12 Sainz 13 Alonso 14 Gasly 15 Hülkenberg 16 Lawson 17 Doohan 18 Ocon 19 Bearman 20 Bortoleto I expect Piastri to have a good start and run into the dista...

BlackMan

McLaren really need Piastri to recover from this slump in form. They need him ahead of Verstappen in all the remaining races really. ...bit late for that. He seemed more content with acting like a total c*nt when he could've been somewhat useful to the benefit of the team. Norris won't win this Cha...

BlackMan

Piastri being as useless as ever. These sort of comparison with Norris need to stop, he got absolutely destroyed once again. All he is good at is mugging his teammate off the line whenever he starts behind him. He had fresher tyres and a superior car to the Red bull and he couldn't even put a bit of...

Looks like Russell cooked his tyres

Watch him pit for fresher tyres if he gets past by Hamilton

Mercedes should put Hamilton on softs once he clears Hulk
Yes it looks like he's losing speed now that could be a good call to do it now.

about time...

Let's see if it's gonna force the hand of some of the cars ahead.

Zandvoort easier to pass than Spa that's a turn up for the books, it's helping Hamilton, race pace a factor after all.
Hamilton has been quick it looks like, it's a day of what if for him

He needs to sort out his qualy woes. A podium would've been up for grabs here

BlackMan

The one good thing to come out of Monaco is that we might just have a championship fight on our hands. Leclerc is just 31 points behind Verstappen and Ferrari just 24 behind Red Bull. Unless Ferrari pulls clear of McLaren in the development department and they become the undisputed 2nd best package...

Norris has the speed to win the race.

I think Verstappen has it in the bag and he was just pacing himself in the 1st stint. Happy to be proven wrong through.

BlackMan

I'm surprised they haven't thrown a full SC for that.

BlackMan

Verstappen's biggest threat this season - a standing bollard.

BlackMan

Verstappen is clearly running to a delta.

BlackMan

Also Perez could've done something noteworthy for a change

BlackMan

I genuinely want to know who in the right mind at Mercedes calls these silly strategies with tyres that never seem to work. Is it Mercedes call or is it Hamilton that lives in la la land and tries to find a silver bullet? If it's the latter then he is dumber than I thought. Just accept you are in a ...

Please keep it this close throughout 2024.

That's wishful thinking at best and we both know that. At least Red bull won't have a clear sweep of this year's calendar.

BlackMan

Stroll Snr. looks like a James Bond villain in those suits.

BlackMan

Sainz deserved a penalty for that, the question is why is he getting one that happened on a lap that the FIA won't take into consideration for the final standings? I swear the FIA has managed to make a mockery of the rules in the last couple of years. The bar gets lower and lower as each season pass...

BlackMan

I think asking how many they WON'T win would've been a more appropiate question. Jokes aside , I've went with 20 mainly because I believe they will either be affected by reliability or some freak weather / SC at one point during the season. Having a 23 races season is bonkers. The calendar was fine ...

dam checo wasn't holding back on his interview. max won't be happy with that.
What did he say?
he said max has his championships thanks to him, OUCH

The Sith Lord Marko won't be happy about this. He will put some manners on Checo soon.

BlackMan

Is it that the pace they saw in the air tunnel etc as part of the zero pod concept has finally been realized ? They have been decent in the last 3 races ,but for some poor tyre choices they could of won the last three.Interested to see if they can carry on at AD I think they've jumped Ferrari in te...

BlackMan

They know apex speeds etc, maybe Max was simply not making turn 2? :thumbup: Verstappen oversped into the second turn to torpedo himself into a naturally closing gap. I think it's a recurring theme at this point that Verstappen has no respect or willingness whatsoever to defend or race cleanly agai...

Russell gonna win this I think!

Yup , he has it in the bag. Max made sure of that the moment he realised Hamilton is racing alongside him. Old habits die hard

BlackMan

See you all in 2023. Maybe Mercedes will actually build by then a car that doesn't have the aerodynamics of a brick and make Verstappen sweat a little for his wins . All the other teams are a laughing stock - looking at you McLaren . ( multiple rule changes and you've been utter trash since 2012 ) T...

BlackMan

I guess we will see some more Leclerc mistakes. It's hard if you have to drive against your strategy team race-by-race-by-race ... At this point it feels like even being runner up in the standings would be a tall order by the end of the season. Ferrari are a laughing stock. Charles should look for ...

BlackMan

Leclerc should seek a move elsewhere.

Sainz should win this unless there's another VSC or SC.

Would be amazed if Verstappen doesn't eat him alive after he pits for fresher rubber.

BlackMan

So this is how it feels to watch a driver you don't support being in a league of his own compared to the competition?

How long before people turn on Verstappen the same way the did on Hamilton for the past couple of years?

BlackMan

Happy to see Checo silent some detractors............ Even if he gets pole ahead of Verstappen , he will get the short stick strategy wise. Don't fool yourself into believing he has a genuine chance of ever winning a race on merit as long as Verstappen has a shot at it as well. Redbull will never a...

BlackMan

Ferrari missed another trick here. Russell's lucky streak continues. Mind you he has been driving great so far.

BlackMan

That is one of the few times verstappen looked exceptional on a qualifying lap. Verstappen however didn't look comfortable with his car on almost every lap. I know the mercedes isn't very good, but Russell did do a solid job. Hamilton does seem to sometimes have these off days in qualifying. He may...

BlackMan

Given the current standings in P3 its getting harder to make a case to say the Merc engine isnt a big part of Merc and its customers issues. All of the Mercedes teams are having significant aero issues though so it is genuinely difficult to point the finger exclusively at Brixworth. I'm saving judg...

Angered. As soon as Latifi crashed , I knew the championship was done and dusted. After the sh*tshows that happened in Brazil and Saudi Arabia, I was genuinely wondering if Massi and his bunch of clowns can reach a new low. *spoiler alert* - they did. Part of me wishes Lewis and Mercedes would anoun...

BlackMan

https://youtu.be/BGvtbDl3rcI Alonso hasn't exactly been neutral this year, but his reaction is interesting. I felt watching at the time that Masi could have told them to unlap themselves a lap earlier, therefore avoiding this whole mess, as I thought the marshalls had cleared the track by that poin...
