Re: 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix Race Thread
There was a very interesting call by Hamilton during this race which I found surprising; he asked whether they were doing something to his engine. Radio tactics, or have I missed something, as I thought teams weren't allowed to intervene directly on the engine from the pits anymore? My apologies fo...

Re: Winning Streaks in the Lewis Hamilton Era
VErstappen is in a team where it’s basically forbidden for any teammate to challenge him. Why can’t more people grasp that? Yes he is super consistent and good but when doubt is not allowed to enter your mind you will of course perform better. I will never fully buy verstappen as the best driver on ...
