I think Leclerc was more impressive than Leclerc.
I agree. Leclerc should have easily done better than Leclerc but instead he did worse than Leclerc which means Leclerc was the more impressive of the two.
Hehe. I meant norris.

So you think Norris was more impressive than Norris...

I like how this thread went from "Will Max ever stop making mistakes and step out of Lewis' shadow" to "Yeah, he might have won his 59th GP and equalizing the most consecutive poles record while his team mate barely made top 10 but did you see him struggle in FP2".

It's ruined folks.

Max's legacy in ruins the moment he hasnt got the car. do we have a Vettel #2 here ?

That's an intriguing level of desperation. Legacy in ruins based on free practice

Covalent

This has always been the case with front runners, be it Hamilton, Schumacher, Vettel or Senna. If they are ahead they are clear, the moment they are challenged/pressured the mistakes will come. It is nothing peculiar really. It's the degree of it that matters. Drivers are not robots so of course th...

Covalent

Well it's a mix of both surely. The gap between how dominant Verstappen has been and how dominant Hamilton was with cars that enjoyed a similar pace advantage can absolutely be explained in part by Red Bull being better than Mercedes and Bottas being a bit better than Perez (much better after round...

Covalent

Sure there was luck involved in Norris' maiden victory, but surely that must be the case in the majority of maiden victories?

Have to say I was impressed with how magnanimous both Max & Charles were & happy for Lando in the post race interview.

Yeah I like this generation of drivers and how they are so friendly with each other. No bad blood whatsoever.

Covalent

Voted McLaren because the era he was there was the most memorable and enjoyable for me.

Covalent

Maybe add a poll option that he'll stay or word it differently (If Newey were to leave Red Bull, where would he go?).

Hulk confirmed for Sauber next year.

Covalent

Haven't read through the thread but I think one argument was for the extended points positions was to give more incentive to fight for positions outside of the top 10.
Can we think of another incentive besides handing out points if we don't want to mess with the current points system?

Covalent

Bottas seems in good form at the moment. I expect his future career depends on what Sainz does more than anything else. If he leaves Audi will he have an opportunity at Haas or Williams? He would be an upgrade on Magnussen or Sargeant. Personally I hope he doesn't go to the outright backmarker team...

Covalent

Frustratingly hard to gauge the drivers' performances when stuff like setup (see Lewis the last race) and tyre managing are so important. But I digress.. Setup and tyre management are crucial elements of a driver's skill set. I don't think it's possible to gauge a driver's performance without consi...

Covalent

It's contract time and it looks like Bottas has upped his level and putting the kind of manners on Zhou he should have been doing all along according to some, however it might already be to late for his F1 future, I guess teams might be wise to that kind of behaviour. The more I think about it, the...

Hamilton doing Hamilton things. Guess Russell is being smart... 1781592723671191595 Brainless he can't except the limitations of the car, no matter how many times it goes belly up for him he keeps on doing it. Like they say you cant put lipstick on a pig. His experiments just do not work so stop al...

Covalent

It does not matter what I project, the scenario will play out the same regardless whether Red Bull is dominant or not. There is an upside if the car itself becomes less competitive, but currently we don't have any evidence of that. If anything, having the competition catch up it is all the more imp...

Hamilton almost off at the pit entry, I'm having a deja vu moment

How about that Japanese GP, am I right?

Alonso vs. Sainz would actually be interesting to see. Stroll vs. whoever he loses to, not so much.

Covalent

Sainz's only deserved move would be Red Bull as that team is still the best. But Checo is doing good enough to keep that seat his. Mercedes doesn't seem like the team to go but could again create wonders in 2026 with new regulations. Aston Martin is a good choice as McLaren isn't an option. Below A...

Read some news about Vettel potentially being in the running to replace Lewis. I hope that is untrue; he was past it by 2018 and the subsequent time at Aston Martin was already an embarrassment. Stroll should not be getting anywhere as close to a top-level driver as he did when partnered with Vette...

Would have enjoyed it a few years ago. Currently I doubt it will be much of a contest.

Yes it would be interesting mostly off track.

Looking at the ages posted by DOLO... The day Antonelli was born, Alonso was driving in the Friday free practice of the 2006 Turkish GP, which was the 14th race of the 18 race season where Alonso claimed his second WDC. As much as I like Alonso, I do think it is high time for him to retire. Seeing ...

Slowing down your rival is one thing, but Alonso behaved in an unpredictable and dangerous manner when he did it.

Missed that Alonso got a penalty til now. Very confused. Is the art of slowing down in a corner to reduce the car behind’s momentum dead? Or is it just stewards bashing Alonso for the sake of it again? Slowing down your rival is one thing, but Alonso behaved in an unpredictable and dangerous manner...

Woah........... As per Peter Windsor, he has heard from reliable sources that Perez has already signed a contract extension for next year. In a way it makes sense to retain the same lineup before regulations change. Hoping Perez is consistent through the year. 1772066600193020008 Translation: "And ...

These tears-offs are really a pain in the backside: It continually frustrates and baffles me that we know all the problems these stupid tear-offs cause, and nothing has been done.

Some would use the term "ran out of talent" (which I hate) for what Antonelli did, depending of course who the driver is.

Is Sainz fit to drive? That will be decided thursday, when he has to pass an FIA-test. This is from msn.com: On Thursday at Albert Park, the Spaniard is due for the FIA’s mandatory medical evaluations, which include a crucial driver extraction exercise. This test is quite demanding as it requires t...
