Can you list these suggestions, or we should believe its true just because you said it ? No, you should just watch this weekends actual sessions. Then you wouldn't need me to list anything, You'd have seen it. so you cant prove any of your recent statements. we can happily ignore them. If you've al...

double sprint race wins for Hadjar. We know Marko is a big fan. He could be driving his way into a Red Bull seat for 226 if not 2025.

I'm struggling to get excited this season. I hope Mclaren give Red Bull a real fight.

The season may or may not be about to take off. We will know more in 5 hours.

His team mate didnt make out of q1 5 times in a row last year. Perez is not a reference point. You are right about the article, still I doubt RB wasnt the fastest VER last corner mistake was costly he carried the error in the whole straight. Absolutely nothing to suggest in the entire weekend that ...

he needed a 0.2s tow in the best car to make the pole https://www.planetf1.com/features/emilia-romagna-gp-qualifying-data-max-verstappen-pole ideal lap time fastest for RB in the article. His teammate didn't even make Q3. Just to be in the window where a tow got him pole was a superb performance. T...

Max is regarded by many who drives around car problems and makes no mistakes. In the qualy thread many forum members claimed pole was due to Max only. But, he got 0.2s worth of tow in the start straight and made a msitake in the last corner. Max managed to get a pole without the fastest car in a we...

Max was slow in fp1-3, because the RB wasnt fast, pole or win doesnt change that. Just a gentle reminder that the car is much more important than Max. (or any other driver) What is your point though ? All drivers mentioned in this thread enjoyed best of the best cars and full team support to accumu...

This is why you should always wait until the end of the weekend before you make any conclusions, even qualifying is not enough. He could have a poor race tomorrow and undo his great pole today. Max was slow in fp1-3, because the RB wasnt fast, pole or win doesnt change that. Just a gentle reminder ...

It will be interesting to see if Norris is willing to actually race Verstappen on lap 1 when he has a chance of winning. McLaren probably have more chance of winning after Piastri's penalty although I think it probably makes the race less exciting overall. If McLaren are still fastest next weekend t...

Tsunoda deserves Perez seat based on the last 18 months.

Absolutely superb performance from Verstappen. That's an example of a driver making the difference.

Max's legacy in ruins the moment he hasnt got the car. You're one step closer to the realization that in F1, every driver's legacy is dependent on the car. You dont know me, so you have no idea what I have realized or what not. We can conclude that you have just lied about me, so you can attack me ...

:nod: No just reading what people say on here and then how quickly it comes back to bite them, it seems that Verstappen had no answer for the limitation of his car. Since you’re an avid follower of the sport, you will have noticed that this tends to happen quite a lot at Red Bull. Some struggles in...

I hope this guy commentating with Chandhock isn't doing it all weekend. He's flipping useless/clueless.

He's here all weekend I will be doing a number of races this season.

He seems good to me. My main objection to him is that he's a decade younger than me.

I feel like I'm getting into it's a "It's the hope that kills you" situation.

I appreciate that HP are probably paying for Ferrari's new driver/technical director but the isolated random blue splash on the engine cover looks awful.

mikeyg123

Yes Verstappen would have no problem at all in driving the recalcitrant Mercedes did I hear say. Forever fighting that rearguard action I see :-P No just reading what people say on here and then how quickly it comes back to bite them, it seems that Verstappen had no answer for the limitation of his...

Another great performance by Lindblad. You went to soon, 1-2-3 for Trident with drivers that had mediocre records before this year. No, I commented after the session had finished. Trident was obviously the car to have. Lindblad is 16 and has the highest rated teammates in the field. He beat both of...

Chandhok says he thinks Verstappen will take a sabbatical in 2026. Given how terrible the 2026 regs look I wouldn't blame him.

mikeyg123

Thinking about it, my memory of that weekend is that F1 seemed to suddenly have turned into a nightmare. Not only the 2 deaths, but a bad accident to Barrichello in practice, and the start-line shunt which caused the re-start sent wreckage into the crowd, injuring several spectators . Quite why so ...

I've shown how Verstappen responded to Sainz's increase in pace and how he was keeping Sainz out of undercut range, I feel it's you that doesn't understand, it went down to 2.6s after Sainz did a lap half a second quicker than his previous lap, we didn't see Verstappen response because he pitted un...

Does anyone know when Red Bull are scheduled for a significant upgrade? This race. Before the season they kept mentioning Suzuka and Imola for their planned upgrades. Link to Marko talking about Imola upgrades But any thoughts of needing to fear McLaren in the championship were quickly quashed by M...

Strawman that's really good as this has been changed from should have won to could have won, the starting point for this was the statement that Ferrari should have won 12 of the opening 13 races, it's interesting what people have an issue with. I literally wrote "Should" in my post. You wrote the a...

mikeyg123

So you're part of the argument that Sainz should have won the race? Verstappen wouldn't have won the race from Piastri in Miami because he couldn't pull a gap bigger than 3 seconds. You've literally defeated your own argument with that sentence. The assertion was that Ferrari had the pace to win th...

When did Leclerc look like he could have won the race in Canada, when did he ever look even as quick as Verstappen. Strawman. The assertion made isn't that Leclerc should have won it's that the Ferrari had the pace to win. What makes you think they didn't? Strawman that's really good as this has be...

“Safe distance of around 3 seconds that had gradually decreased to 2.6 seconds” makes no sense and deep inside you know this is a lie. There is zero benefits in allowing a gap to close up to the point where even a small pit stop mistake can cost you the lead. You’re just arguing for the sake of arg...

That lists shows how bad the racing has been there. Don't forget there were no Imola GP's between 2006 -2019. There are other good races that didn't make the list... 1991, 1995 and 1999 were all pretty good. Hell, even races like they had in 1997 had a lot more happening in it than most GP's today.

mikeyg123

The original argument was that Sainz should have won the race. I believe the original argument was that FERRARI should have won the race. Given that Sainz was the slower Ferrari driver what is your counter to that? Evidence has been provided to suggest Ferrari had the pace to do so. Where is the ev...

Controlling the gap:- Verstappen's response to Sainz's previous lap. 1-18.214 - 1-18.275 1-17.974 - 1-17.828 1-17.963 - 1-17.757 1-17.466 - Pit under VSC The scheduled pit stop was not for another 10 laps where I'm sure Verstappen would have increased his pace futher leading up to it, in the meanti...

mikeyg123

Verstappen's lap times were not consistent at all, on lap 6 Sainz closed the gap by 3 tenths the next lap Verstappen went 0.45s quicker than his previous lap, 0.135s quicker than Sainz, he was controlling the gap, the next lap Sainz went 3 tenths quicker than Verstappen then Verstappen pitted under...

mikeyg123

So Sainz is entitled to mistakes but not Verstappen, Sainz had clear air from lap 3 but you want to run it from lap 4 because it suits your argument better. Verstappen’s laps from 4-8 are consistent while Sainz has a very slow lap 4 and then is quicker than Verstappen from laps 5 to 8, this isn’t p...
