And we have seen that in F1 its hard to lift yourself out of the bottom tier if you dont have serious monet to spend in the right place which the cost cap no clamps down, in the last 30 years Redbull remains the only team that has broken in and stayed there. Team Enstone was last competitive as rec...

Rockie

Yes..... Yes I can think this. In 2018 Ricciardo was seen as one of the best drivers on the grid & a potential WC. It was becoming clear that if he were to stay with RB, it would be as an unofficial #2 to Verstappen &, everything being equal, he was never going to win a championship with them. So h...

Rockie

Yeah, people are acting like there was no way Renault would ever be a top team when Ricciardo signed for them, but there's really no reason they couldn't have been. They obviously sold him on the idea that they were investing heavily, and he took a chance that they were right about their prospects....

Rockie

Disagree. He was well on the way of heading down the same path as Webber was before him & Perez is now. He had the option of staying & becoming Verstappens b*tch, which was the reason he left in the first place, or go to Renault & turn it into his team & hoped they got their act together & become c...

The only one I am sure of is Vettel not returning, his goodbye just has the end of an era written all over it.

It was always a mistake leaving Redbull career wise, but financially he has done well. Disagree. He was well on the way of heading down the same path as Webber was before him & Perez is now.

It was always a mistake leaving Redbull career wise, but financially he has done well. I agree. Huge mistake. Since then he is chasing money and I think is paid more than 10million or so by Mclaren for not being in F1 next year as well. That is why he did not even made any effort for Haas. Kimi was...

Rockie

Vettel is an enigma though, he had all this in him and kept it till he had to say goodbye to F1.

The #FinalLap is truly a joy to watch, he gave it all and a little bit more.

A Ferrari mess up loading I can just see it coming.

The leaving a space is to encourage more racing, but it seems some drivers now rely on that phrase to stick their nose into a closing gap. Verstappen knew that gap was going to close why should Hamilton leave a cars width and not take the apex when from his angle of trajectory he was never making th...

There were always clues with Vettel. Hamilton and Alonso always knew. There are clues now. There are a lot of clues he's not as good as Lewis on race pace in even cars or in one to one battle. And will use his car as a weapon against Lewis if needed to prove otherwise. There are even more clues he'...

The only thing I was surprised about was it wasn't a stop and go penalty, as even in real time ignoring the rubbish Brundle was saying it was obvious it was a deliberate accident in which Max knew he was never making the corner but was ready to crash which he later admitted post race. Don't know wh...

Yes, I/we saw what you said, and I/we disagree with your questioning of whether or not Max is even in the top 3 fastest drivers . I think we all agree he's in the fastest car, especially post summer break (before that I think it was very close between RB and Ferrari), though Merc have been catching...

Russell, Hamilton and Sainz.

Vettel, Hamilton and Norris.

This is gaming the rules and should be outlawed.

This is similar to the Schumacher pitlane brouhaha.

One thing about F1 is that as predictable as it seems, sometimes the unbelievable happens, no one saw Hamilton or Vettel coming everyone just believed Alonso was going to take MSC's record. Not saying same is going for Verstappen, but if Merc he back to winning ways and Ferrari improve things could ...

I feel that 6th is undeserved for vettel. A stupid mistake that sent him to the back, then he was saved by the restart and his early stop. While stroll had the best start of anyone, possibly even this season, and his work has been undone. It's fun to watch how your dislike of Vettel consumes you so...

If Perez fails to take number 2 in the WDC - freak incidents and accidents aside - his stock tumbles. Not really. Nobody would expect Perez to beat Leclerc in similar paced cars. Especially when he isn't the focus on his team. Are they similarly paced cars at this point in the season? Lately, Lecle...

Rockie

Don't really get the Stroll votes. Vettel made a great start jumping Stroll and going from 13th to 8th on lap 1. Stroll then was able to get back ahead because he was able to pit under the SC. Then Vettel was able to stay inside Stroll's DRS until the final 10 minutes when he fell back having to de...

Easy votes: Perez over Verstappen. Though this is only for the race. Perez was not very good in qualifying. He should have easily been on pole as Verstappen was nearly a full second up on Perez and Leclerc in sectors one and two alone. Verstappen's race was awful and Perez was good, so that is why ...

Rockie

A bit or stretching the truth going on here considering Perez is second in the championship. Distinctly average in comparison to the Ferrari's is a bit much unless we believe Perez and Leclerc are similar levels of drivers. And we also know Perez is driving the slower Redbull as confirmed by him an...

I read it's because it's a very narrow pitlane and they didn't want to close the pitlane.
Why would a hazard on track be superior to a closed pitlane?

It wont help Redbull I guess.

I think the current version of Verstappen is better than the current version of Hamilton. Lewis and Verstappen's best work is probably at a similar level but whilst Hamilton has a few off races a season Verstappen is never slow ever. He's always on. I don't think he gets enough credit for the last ...

Even if he breaks 13 wins (highly likely, given how long the season is and how comical Ferrari actually are) it still won't be as impressive as Vettel's 9 wins in a row. IMHO. I strongly disagree. To break the most wins per season record without a dominant car is incredibly impressive. All the seas...

Stroll and vettel votes still going up evenly. The points on racefans summerises his weekend pretty well with his only negative being that he was behind vettel in all 3 practice sessions. https://www.racefans.net/2022/08/02/2022-hungarian-grand-prix-driver-ratings/ Behind team mate in all three pra...

In just this last race Verstappen spun on his own and was lucky not to crash out. So luck plays a lot in that so not a rare mistake from tier 1 drivers. You might call it lucky that he didn't crash out, but we've seen in the past that Verstappen's ability to recover from such spins have saved him m...

I think the answer is no. Driver61 did a breakdown off all Leclerc's errors and showed he has made the same number of errors Hamilton made last year and fewer errors than Verstappen made last year. The difference was that Hamilton and Max largely got away with their errors through luck and they nev...
