thuggy:
Great observations Whoopsy! You are becoming one of my go to pundits LOL.
Come on. There are way better pundits everywhere.
More observations.
Don't say Lewis doesn't drive his hearts out. He did that literally today. He is so weak after the race. Age is definitely catching up to him.
Russell is such a gentleman driver, and a great teammate. Seeing Latifi is ahead and he radioed in to prioritize Latifi over him on strategy, such a selfless gesture. Not many on the grid have the guts to say that. And he is the one that's chasing his first points was a William driver, not Latifi.
Max's reputation as a street thug, a bully on track is kept intact. He banged into Schumacher to get his pass done. No one else on track hit anyone else to get their passes done today. Not even the heated battle between Hamilton and Alonso. Max showed no respect for anyone else on track, it's Max coming through! Make way!! He would do really well in a NASCAR race. Maybe that could be his other career!
Post race he is still whining about being taken out by a Mercedes. Technically it was Norris that banged into him, who, in turn was hit by Bottas just before. Bottas did crashed into Perez however.
One more thing about Max. He lost the crown for sweating the most over radio. Think Tsunoda took over that title. That little firecracker is really something, he is a master of English swearing and he is Japanese!! For comparison, I challenge anyone to find Hamilton swearing over the radio once in his whole career.
Bottas undo all the hard work he did on Saturday by qualifying on the front row. Did he just signed his own walking papers? To be fair to him, it was his first time doing that. And by having Norris cut him off before the corner, he pretty much lost al the front downforce that would have been useful when braking. Still, he was the one that's wrong, no excuses.
Riccardo, oh boy, seriously, what happened to his driving skills?
Last breaking news for Vettel, more trouble. Seems like he basically ran the car dry and FIA can only take 0.3L of fuel sample instead of 1 litre. he might get DQed. But then again as if he cared.
Who else did I miss? Norris,Perez, Leclerc, was innocent bystanders. Max at least salvage some points. Lance did his best Kvyat torpedo impression.
Kimi, and Giovinazzi, hmm, Giovinazzi was literally invisible all race. Kimi at least made the news by taking out Mazepin.
Now patiently waiting on Helmut Marko to spill out his nonsense again two races in a row. Maybe this time he will ask for a couple race bans and also sent Toto the repair bill.
He and Horner are so petty. They ARE IN F1 RACING!! IT IS EXPENSIVE!!! SUCK IT UP!!!
When Russell took out Bottas and himself, Toto literally mentioned it ONCE about the expense. And he moved on. Horner is still harping about the money last race and now this race. Get over it, you can't out spend someone to win this year.
Anyone else noticed if Max and Hamilton isn't at the front, we get good racing? Maybe FIA should get a new rule in. Doesn't matter where Max or Hamilton qualifies, they both start on the back row, no matter what. They are the two fastest guys, so watching them cut through the field would be great entertainment.
Another would be a support race between all team principals, with constructor points awarded. I mean, they added the sprint already, so why not.
