    I mean, Max is just going to have to go out and beat Lewis in a straight fight; no bullshit, no cutting corners, no crashing, if he wants to be a true champion (a la Fernando taking down King Schumi) otherwise he’ll have a big fat asterisk next to this title, and perhaps a race ban in 2022.

    ANNNND that’s why I want him to take this 8th crown so trolls like douchey here can STFU foreeeeevvvvvverrrrrrrrrrrr

    You still gotta do work. Talented or not. Has nothing to do with being rich or poor.  He was the 5th owner of his first go kart.  His dad was NOT a former F1 driver with a Monaco address, so...

    Dr. Helmut Marko: ‘Hello, Yuki? Dis ist der Doktor...’

    Just takes a split second brain-fart to think ‘I mean why not?’  Beside, he’s prolly already calculated that he has a 51% chance of getting away with it.

    Point taken, BMW bungled when they started slapping M badges on everything with four wheels.  I think they have yet to define what ‘M’ is supposed to mean in this new era.

    Ok, that’s funny

    How fast does a (passenger) car need to be, really? We spend like 65% of our time sitting at traffic lights and detours on highways ffs. We complain about getting speeding tickets as a result. The whole notion is effing stupid. I’m sure it’s quick enough and has enough TQ for an EV. Individual preference (yours)

    Merc cloning James Vowles for Abu Dhabi...

    Et ainsi le Professeur est né

    Ahhh, the Pussycat Doll Era...chaos and crashes abound...

    The timing board counting down...awesome.  “HERE HE COMES!!!”

    We already had this with KERS

    Will he though...?

    Spot on with this take. RB are grooming their drivers in a ‘Mercenary’ environment, it’s Lord of the Flies meets Motorsport over there. Toxicity and desperation make for hell of a concoction. Every last driver before him has left with bad blood (Webber/Seb/DanniRic/Gasly/Albon)...

    Max applied somewhere in the area of about 986psi with his left leg to the brake pedal, he assumed Lewis was going to pass, giving him enough distance (and drive) to pass under DRS. He miscalculated, and FIA cocked up the sequence of communications. It was a perfect storm; and with what we’ve seen, there are

    Human nature has shown us (particularly in sports and officiating) that in the case of a player/team/driver having a certain ‘reputation’ with past behavior, there is bias (on the part of officials) that predicts or often assumes such behavior in the future. this is why Max get’s slammed to everyone’s dismay, and

    A red flag should freeze pits to avoid this. Wing and tire changes should occur as normal under SC, paying the ‘penalty’ of an anticipated +10 sec. pit stop, these free pit stops steer the race in a super impactful way, especially at the front; one could consider it an ‘undercut’.

    Maybe this crap has gone on behind the scenes all along, the new audio for the viewers is fascinating, but these situations I gather most of us can do without.  Whinging over the air, etc.
