And well done Lando P4 in that peice of shit McLaren.

Huhh? That McLaren seems to be quite back in the zone since their updates last race.

I agree that it was an excellent lap from George.

It's a shame to see certain commenters on this thread going down the "my driver is better than yours" route. While this thread was never super active at least, until now, the content had stayed pretty mature and interesting.

For those who may not have actually seem qualifying, the disparity between Hamilton and Russel was due to Hamilton's DRS not working on his final lap. Up until then, it had been pretty close between the two...

What a race! Great win for Verstappen, and Mercedes are improving their performance as the season goes. Unfortunately, the Ferrari team made a decision that cost them the win once again. Leclerc had fresher medium tyres than Sainz, why did they box him first, and to replace for hard tyres?

I was also thinking to myself, halfway through the race, that Ferrari should have moved to the softs for the second stint then back on to the mediums.

But look at Carlos and Charles' pace when they did go onto the softs; absolute piss!

It seems that the mediums were the only tyres that worked for Ferarri this weekend and, that being the case, they were going to fail no matter what happened, unless the rain came to help them out.

Just waiting for the huge surprise of Oscar Piastri being named the new Alpine driver :rofl2:

Hopefully not another LeClerc ...
Personally,I do not like Charles...
(Fucking Protecting Child from Sergio Marchionne...)

He showed no Respect in 2019 compared to a much more experienced Colleague.....but,hey,that was ok...some awesome Races with Vettel,Max and Hamilton.👌

Now he drives the fastest and most competitive Car in 2022 and where is his "Swank" now ?
Hiding behind Ferrari Strategie is not what a Formula 1 Driver with an Championwinning Car should do.
But,hey...he is a Kid....what can we expect from him except whining and constantly complaining.....

(Oh my god,yes,he always pretends that he makes the mistakes and that he is to blame for everything, the poor boy...)

If he would drive like in 2019 he would be Number 1 in the Championship.
Defects or HIS Mistakes? What will predominate in the 2022 season......

But maybe he is not "strong" enough for Formula 1 ? Or for Ferrari? Wouldn't be the first to give up at Ferrari, maybe Ferrari will make it in 2022 that both drivers break...


So,good Luck for Oscar,I wish him all the Best for 2023.💖

Since he has come into F1 I have no idea about his personality or anything about him. Unlike most of the other drivers.

Lando/Daniel/Carlos/Alex the comedians but with awesome driving skills.

Lewis/Max/Fernando the super serious drivers.

George the posh lovable English gentleman

Esteban/Sergio Perez will do anything to help their team mate and team.

Pierre Gasly/Yuki the odd couple

Sebastian Vettel the lovable environmentalist

Lance Stroll rich daddies boy.

Nicholas Latifi the shit driver nobody ever talks about.

Zhou/Kevin Great drivers if given the chance

Mick nowhere near as good as his father and uncle.

Charles I have no idea if he is a nice person or funny or indeed a great driver or an OK driver in a great car.

Unfortunately,he has nothing to laugh at the Moment...very sad,F1 is about to loose one of the most charming and charismatic Drivers......:sad:
Sad but I'm pretty sure McLaren will bring in Pato O’Ward to replace him which would be awesome. Pato and Lando together with hopefully a better car next season would be quite some team.

Lando is a great name. Pato doesn't sound good at all, it's slang for someone with lack of skill.
Pato translated into English is Duck. Duck O’Ward sounds stupid lol. So as Mr O’Ward is an awesome driver we shall from now on call him by his full name of Patricio O'Ward Junco :rofl2:
