How is Alonso leading Ocon?

He looked faster as he was recovering against slower cars!

Interview with Mazepin here . Bold of him to do it, but I'm not sure he comes out of it well or will have gained any support for his way of thinking. I'm very much against genuine examples of "cancel culture". I don't think sanctions against a country that started a war is an example of cancel cult...

Both replacements are awful :lol: Not had bad as Masi though who changed the direction of the F1 WDC to suit himself who would have never won without his intervention. And now Max fans are fully aware its a fake title. I know you want to engage in a trolling war with me, but I pass. I’m just here t...

One from the Autosport review of the year that surprised me: Number of laps led (out of approx 1500 in total): 1 Verstappen 652 2 Hamilton 297 3 Bottas 79 4 Ocon 66 etc. Verstappen led over twice as many laps as Hamilton? In all the other stats they're near even. Maybe that explains my feeling that...

Out of interest you like your qualifying scores. What are the Rosberg Vs Schumacher percentages through the 3 years. Did he actually match him? Schumacher vs Rosberg 2012 qualifying: 10-10 score 0.042% median speed advantage for Schumi Yeah, a 43 year old Schumacher quite literally outperformed a p...

To me Albon, Gasly and Perez all performed at a similar level compared to Max. Perez appeared better because simply he drove the better car imo. All verstappens teammates appear to be paying a 0.3sec tax or thereabouts before they even drive the car. Ultimately they are all miles off what would be ...

This stat here is showing Perez as the weakest of the bunch taking the competitiveness of the car into context.

No bookmaker had to pay out on both. You can't sue to reclaim the costs of your marketing stunt. No, but for any individual who bet on Hamilton to win and lost money, I expect that they do indeed have grounds to sue. The sportsbooks may well have been trying to cover themselves from being part of s...

Forget numbers, car performance or duration of time as teammates. Perez is both a 'legend' and an 'animal' and he achieved that over just a lap and a half. Legend of what? He is no different from Massa same way Massa used to defend for Alonso anyone in a title fight takes it easy against them. Hami...

"He only won the title because Masi gifted it to him" likewise for Hamilton it will be "he only won the title because the courtroom gifted it to him" if that does occur. Both are equally valid arguments and unfortunately that is how the 2021 champion will be viewed for many. Masi ruined the title f...

Should Hamilton win the next title in '22 that would be the nail in the legacy coffin.

While I think that this year has been a terrible year for Race Control, and that the fans deserved better than the ending we got (I'm talking about the way the final 5 laps were managed) only a full can deny that Verstappen is not a deserving winner, just as a fool could deny Hamilton was a deservi...

I agree that the decision on having a racing lap, having moved the cars between the protagonists out of the way, did directly affect the race - and therefore the WDC - outcome, but that in no way mars Verstappen's achievements. Across the season both drivers, plus their respective teams and cars, h...

Toto after dragging FIA through the mud yesterday!

Rockie

For me the biggest disappointment, aside from the specific events of yesterday, is that over the course of the season one driver has repeatedly taken another out, or forced another to take evasive action, with what appear to be deliberately dangerous moves, and that driver has been rewarded for his...

An enigma would be truly missed.

A racer and a gentleman.

Rockie

You have to wonder, why did Masi do that? Why did he break the FIA procedure? Desperate to get a racing end to the season - I'm sure that it was not an attempt to manufacture the result. I'm also guessing that this decision was his (or someone's) interpretation of the SC rules. Personally, I'd have...

I think it says it all and says alot when the bookies (paddy power) are paying out on both max and Lewis. I think it says it all that even they think something is a miss. They wouldn't normally pay out on both drivers and the bookies normally will do whatever it is to avoid paying out. Because they...

Hamilton, Tsunoda and Sainz for me.

Verstappen botched his start,

Perez if your only contribution in a race is being a doormat for your team mate you dont get a vote for slowing Hamilton down which did not matter overall.

Max laying down the marker first. I missed the session. Was Max that clear of LH on pace? It looks like LH lost of straights which is puzzling... Still early but Max's pace looks impressive. 3/10s is big. But FP2 should give us a clear idea. If Max is still ahead it will be concerning for Merc. Als...

Ham wasn't quite hooked up in S3 there, but he nailed the last corner. Pretty much on Max's pace.

On Max's pace?

Max was using others slipstream in S2.

Rockie

This is Hamilton's to lose but IMO it wouldn't be the best driver of the year winning it.. The Merc has been dominant package which can be seen buy how close Bottas has been to Lewis even though he is treated like a guinea pig.. Max deserves it for the year if all things stay the same but Lewis is ...

Rockie

Why was Max even trying to give it back in a spot where he could automatically retake it. Everyone knows you aren't allowed to immediately retake a position you've been told to give up. Because both Red Bull and Max don't think that rules apply to them, look at how scathing they have been in the af...

Barring a disaster Hamilton is winning this.

Rockie

No it was a bit of a shambles of a race at the front purely because of a lack of standards from a certain driver but primarily the stewards were very poor. It's a shame because actually I really liked the track and I feel like the track has been let down by the poor stewarding and so makes it seem ...

Rockie

Like I said in Brazil, something has changed in this title fight and the FIA's blushes have been saved twice with Hamilton winning. Any foul play in AbuDhabi from Max will be seen as deliberate as Liberty Media would have had their blockbluster finale weekend they have orchestrated and the stewards ...

Rockie

I'd feel a lot less nervous about it if Verstappen had gotten a penalty which put him back to 3rd or 4th. That would have been wise from the stewards. A 30 second post-race penalty would have put Max in a situation where he only wins the title by winning the race (effectively) and cannot win throug...

If Max was trying to cross this line then he would have driven into Hamilton for the incident Masi told Mercedes that Hamilton was borderline for receiving the black and white flag. No because he knew if he did that everyone would know it was deliberate after the brake check and he would have been ...

I am just rewatching, and something I did not realise completely. Verstappen was a little unlucky on lap 36. The theme of the lap was Hamilton was able to get within 0.7-1.0 at the end of the lap but this grew to 1.3-1.5 through the middle of the lap. The VSC came out at a moment when Hamilton was ...

As the circuit has so many walled curves that are flat out in an F1 car they are no different from straights... Except they impede visibility increasing the risk factor incrementally. Replace the flat out turns with straights and there be no problem As far as the race is concerned it was disappoint...

Rockie

This track is brilliant and fun to watch, but Max destroyed what would have been a good race as ignoring Schumachers accident Max made the race unwatchable and dangerous.

I am not surprised by the decision. Completely expected. They were not going to influence the final race in any case. They just decided to take the politically correct way. Happens in every sport. If this was in the middle of the season, then maybe a grid drop. What is amusing is the amount of supp...
