This is really embarrassing for F1

red_alert

Im devestated. My last arguement for Ric being superior has gone. Hmmm I got this one, Ves was just lucky there was no wall where he exceeded track limits to post his time. I suppose Ves would have been faster at Monaco too but those damn walls. I guess tracks are suited these day to go fast careles...

red_alert

The PF1 Forum unofficial DOTW says Ric is better than Ves over the course of a weekend for this season so far - that is a whole forum of opinion - I guess there are more Ric fans that Ves fans though... you can find a counter argument and have an opinion for anything.

red_alert

Shame about all these Ves suppoters not addressing Ric superior qualifying or saying its not as important as the race, monaco begs to differ. I'd say Austria is the only race where Ves was 'faster' and didnt rely on the team to get a better result.

red_alert

Ric is fine, out qualifies Vestappen comfortably. Probably a bit off after RB team let him down twice - should of had two wins (Spain & Monaco) and Ves would have none. Ric is also good for NOT binning the car in wall unlike his younger team mate.

red_alert

As a Ric fan, it was a very underwhelming race :( As a Ricciardo fan, you must be more nervous than underwhelmed. There's a pattern here, of Verstappen outperforming him in many races in a row now. Canada, Baku, Austria... Wonderboy Ves #2 yet to out qualify Ric though. Not worried. We know who the...

Ric with the monster lap

red_alert

Sorry but for me Vestappen did nothing special. He didn't overtake anyone on track except for backmarkers and lucked out at the start and held up a flying Roseberg on 3 compound better tyres. Still not convinced nothing stood out. Relies on his team to get him in front of his competitors and ignores...

What a boring race, this circuit is rubbish, no passing unless your on new tires and are 1 second faster. I think Ill avoid this one in future.

red_alert

What a boring track. Seems only able to pass if you have 1.5s per lap on your opposition.

red_alert

Ricciardo thinks that he gained as much out as he lost in while hitting the Wall of Champions, and thus feels he lost no time. Sounds about right to me. He really drove the hell out of that car and definitely maximized it. Hence why his much lauded teammate was notably slower. I think Verstappen is...

Inappropriate post removed.

This isn't a rumour more of just my thought, Ricciardo to McLaren?

RIC would be nuts to stay at Redbull they have VES now, he would be a No.2 at Ferrari.

Ric and Alo could be fun? (Hard to say if Button will stay though?)

red_alert

Oh yeah and I totally forgot that Ferrari strategists can't think for themselves and so have no objection to go for a strategy so obviously inferior that it will hurt their best driver. ... Seriously. No need to be sarcastic toward me. They said Vettels 3rd stop was strategic to cover Riccardo. The...

red_alert

Ricciardo was given the best strategy. That's why he came 4th. Track position rules here, so not the best. Then why did Ferrari rob Vettel? He got 3rd, he started 6th. He was in front of Raikkonen after T1, he was behind at the finish. Please start making sense. They followed Redbull strategy so it...

Favouritism is real. Ric robbed.

Edit: As predicted something would go wrong with the car. Gave track position to Ves. Poor Ricbber.

red_alert

Thanks for the replies, some really interesting perspectives and many alleviate my worry. Hopefully he can score a drive in another top yeam next year and challenge for wins.

red_alert

With the much touted Vestappen going to the main RedBull team I have this all too familiar feeling. Redbull are known for their favouritism and with Vestappen on a Multi year contract moving to the main team and Ricciardo off contract, do you feel Vestappen will be their new 'man' and Ricciardo will...

Just saw pics on facebook. Redbull with Aston Martin. AMRB001.

Congrats Merc. To add my two cents, you could look at the whole Merc domination similar to that of the Brawn double diffuser. Start of the season - Brawn domination, the had something nobody else had. Early-Mid seasons everyone takes the design, build their own interpretation, Brawn also building on...

So Raikkonen needs his team mate to help him pass another car? kek

I guess one upside is I will get an extra 40 mins sleep. Goodnight.

I think the stewards should refer this radio transmission to be investigated. Seems like is disrepute case to me. It sets a worrying precedent if they punish him for this. It's a slippy slope to banning radio communications entirely. While it's most likely code, it could have been a genuine questio...

Engine change for Ric!?

red_alert

Good ole Webdog always has the right thing to say.

red_alert

I will support Honda, and I believe Button and Alonso understand their vision. I think one of them said something along that lines of - even if Alonso stayed at Ferrari he still wouldn't be fighting for wins. He wants a winning car and he believes Honda can provide this as have the better platform. ...
