He seems to be a generational talent in rallying, it's something he can always go back to, he's already taken some time off in rallying seemingly because he got to bored of winning, it was too easy for him. I see he's 25 now so not as young as I thought very much a child star so it's easy to defaul...

I predicted on the first page that Piastri would win it but races like yesterday makes me hope he doesn't.

Sorry, I'm with TGH on this, that car was in a dangerous condition by the end. You need to be able to stop if there's double yellows for any reason, and he literally couldn't.

Yeah if there ever was a reason to use the black-and-orange flag this was it.

P.s. I am the only one for whom the forum is slow as molasses? (after a minute of loading the site for the reply) No you aren't. Maybe one reason the forum is slow also in the other sense of the word. Yes, it has been like this for a couple of weeks now. I will post something in the feedback thread...

So.... Max is the only F1 driver to win in a Ferrari this year right?

The petty is asking them to swap back at the end for no reason, hes gonna pass him on track either stay out or just tell him to let him through... but no we need to have this swap back positions now its just more of this nonsense we see from teams now trying to implement. Maybe its just my general ...

He can join another team from 2026 or so I believe.

ok cheers

The qualifying debacle mainly but then and then this whole situation why are they messing about trying to get them to swap positions at the end just annoys me tbh I didn't hear the radio chatter, but I would have thought no call was needed for Hamilton to remember to give the place back. Why tell L...

Max is now tied with Lewis for the 2nd most grand slams in F1 history. https://i.postimg.cc/WpWTvWVq/image.png Note that, if the positions were established according a ratio "grand slam/F1 races entered", Verstappen and Hamilton would be ranked near the bottom (Clark started only 72 F1 races... a l...

Piastri's worst weekend in F1?? 1969809114835685413 Looks such an amatuerish crash, to the point it just doesn't look right. It's not like he is carrying obviously way to much speed, rather than the car just doesn't turn, and he hits the barrier fairly straight on. Not sure how he even managed to d...

Lando, Lando, Lando.... You missed not one but two goals in an empty net. Best chance he had to get back to Piastri in the wdc. Masterclass by Verstappen.

Hard to not vote for anyone out of Verstappen, Russell, Sainz and Lawson.

Still thinking on Oscar vs. Lando. Not too much between them in a pretty uneventful race, until the team intervened and over thought things. Oscar played a part in making sure Lando got out of Q2. I would have thought Lando was pretty clearly better all weekend, with the possible exception of his s...

Ferrari finishing fourth and Vasseur talks about a good race and an encouraging weekend. x( With such a performance, Red Bull called in crisis meeting and changed things and staff - and see: they are back to domination. With a number of excellent updates back into their own class, some 20 sec ahead...

Bortoleto and Hadjar look, at this moment, the pick of the rookies imo. I think we are far enough along now to start forming more solid opinions. Antonelli isnt the next coming of Hamilton. I've been impressed with Bearman as well. He's basically matched Ocon all season. Antonelli has suffered from...

If they hadn't promised Norris he won't be undercut I think they wouldn't have swapped. A bit like damned if you do, damned if you don't.

While picking Bottas & Perez makes sense for Cadillac, I do have admit, on a personal level, I was very much enjoying not hearing or reading about "Checo" 100 times a weekend. Not the guy mind you, although i've never really be a fan of his, just the name. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. I pr...

To be taken with a large grain of salt! I'm reading rumours that Ferrari are considering replacing Lewis with Camara after this season. The source is so tabloid-y that I won't even link it to prevent them getting any clicks they don't deserve.

Covalent

You are, perhaps unwittingly, proving my point. But taking it to extremes will clarify it further. Let's say you avoid an oncoming vehicle on your side of the road by swerving into a bush but end up hitting a tree. Chances are that you cannot reclaim the repair cost on the other driver. Dude where ...

I wonder if he regrets his move to Ferrari. Not sure there is much pace difference between Ferrari and Mercedes but he doesn't seem to be able to extract as much out of the Ferrari.

Covalent

Just watched the sprint quali, has Hamilton said why he parked his car, making it impossible for anyone to improve? When he "parked", race direction showed green again and, for instance, Bearman improved. So, maybe it was on advice? I thought the brief green was a mistake or something, but good if ...

Hamilton in 6th, especially with Leclerc 5th is crazy to me. He's been beaten by Leclerc almost everywhere.

I have him 6th but Leclerc 3rd. I understand people ranking him lower though.

Covalent

It's not really a personal preference for me. I just want great drivers to have the best career possible. They can't all be Verstappen's, apparently Antonelli was greatly affected by his crash in Monza FP1 last year to the extent that going into any weekend he is over cautious and then has to play ...

The biggest outliers are Lawson and Tsunoda, I think I take the difficulty of driving the second Red Bull more into account than others have. That's a fair point to make. Why Lawson ahead of Yuki if you don't mind me asking? Yuki had two pretty good performances in the VCARB (were it not for the st...

Nice close duel between Verstappen and Piastri so far. Whenever I come back to this thread, the lead has changed. Also a huge gap after the top 5.

I'd be happy to see Horner purchase Alpine, if only so he can immediately sack that crook Briatore.

Indeed. Amazed to hear some people say Horner has been the least likeable member of the paddock for years with people like Briatore and Mallya there.

1000psi = 69bar. I think the maximum braking pressure can exceed 100bar. But yeah this probably isn't the right thread for bringing up 2021 SA.
