Re: Saving F1

2014 was a good season, Rosberg and Hamilton had a good battle with many flash points that went to the final race (mainly due to the stupid double points race for the last race) - however I admit I actually stopped watching (apart from the odd race) during 2015-2016 as it was very boring. Probably I...

Re: Hamilton Vs Teammates

I'm quite impressed with Bottas' line, basically 0 deviation no wonder they were so happy to keep him on with that level of consistency

Re: Christian Horner Allegations Thread

If I said my opinion on Jos here I'd probably be banned.

But yes Jos is massively pushing for Horner to be gone, probably more than anyone as far as I can tell. Wouldn't surprise me in even the slightest if he was behind the entire leak & that he had the messages generated.

Re: 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix Race Thread

It will be interesting to see what effect the new DRS rules (activated on lap 2 instead of lap 3) have on strategy and racing. Just means if anyone does overtake max from the line they won't have any time to pull a DRS breaking gap before they get repassee with ease again. Hate DRS personally it ev...

Given perez got back to 2nd that alone tells us how good the RB is
Perez started 5th, not 18th, and in a far from perfect Ferrari Sainz got close to him.
Indeed, really shows how far ahead RB are :lol:

Re: 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread

Oh it's a joke now. Yes, it was a joke. Hamilton had legitimate concerns about the cockpit position and was very vocal about it, and as mikeg confirmed it was lighthearted. Why would we even be talking about cockpit position without looking to make a dig? 🤣🤣🤣 This is why the forum is so dull. Not m...

There is really no point arguing against the incredible poor hand Perez has been dealt time and time again by Red Bull (if you believe some on this forum).
