    It’s really just too bad the George bonk was too late for all the other voters to change their votes to max

    thats pretty damning. RB has had a hell of a downfall. They’d probably have 0 points without max

    ”max is just one penalty point away from a one race ban. We are serious.”

    lmbo he’ll just quit and never come back, and be happier for it.

    i heard 2 points expire june 30th so if he keeps his nose fairly clean for a bit he'll get more wiggle room to screw with other cars still.

    They weren’t on the changes list and the onboard showed that thing going six to midnight at turn 1.

    The issue is the unwillingness to punish Max in the past or present - it's laughable that he was only given a 10 second penalty.

    It would be really funny if Red Bull screwing over Max enough this season makes him take the Merc seat for next year and George ends up at Red Bull or worse

    Some thoughts on Sunday...

    1) Fuck Max, and fuck FIA and F1 for allowing this shit. He's going to need to put someone in the hospital before they take action.

    2) Mercedes engines have exploded recently, I find that odd after stellar reliability over the last decade

    3) I think making the rear end of that Ferrari more stable will do more for Lewis than it will for Charls. Lewis really can't figure out how to drive with that type of unstable end.

    4) Good on Hulk and the Stake team. The infuse of money and decent development seem promising for that team.

    5) Piggy back off point 4, the team cap limit has done a tremendous job of moving talented engineers to smaller teams and making the field more competitive. I touched on this in the past but these top teams can't afford a super team of garage guys and its helping these non works teams get better. Hope that trend continues.

    6) FIA is doing way to much in these yellow/safety car situations. When they are calling for VS or Safety car it isn't immediate, instead they check on where the leader is before taking action, also the time its taking to clear tracks and then reformation and restarting is insane. We lost probably 3 racing laps on Sunday. More in past weekends as well. Stop being heavy handed and impacting a race you want vs what naturally unfolds. Its ok if the leaders need to pass 3-4 cars to get back to the front because a SC impacted the race. It's what we want to watch anyways.

    Regarding reliability, considering it's affected two merc customer teams already I wonder if it will affect mclaren at some point as well if they don't resolve the issue (assuming it's one).

    Yup, its clear that the drivers title will be a two man race. It would suck if its decided by engine failure.

    Changes only need to be declared if they are geometic in nature. McLaren didn't change the geometry of the wing; they only toughened it to comply with the new TD. Mercedes and Alpine also didn't change the geometry of their wing.

    Regardless, McLaren already tested the new wing at Imola and said they saw "negligible" impact per Stella.

    Redbull needs to admit its academy is filled with mid drivers... I would give Hadjar the 2nd seat and see if he can swim with the big fish.

    Yuki has never been anything special in the car, he's been known for his radio coms vs race pace.

    Hadjar is growing on me after being the most unexciting and just generally blah driver to start out. Liking the kid, but yeah no idea if he can really drive or not yet.

    George doesn’t say his better than Max, you’re projecting.

    If he answers the question, “Max is in a league of his own, I can’t touch him & my saving grace is that his car sucks” he gets destroyed in the press & you’d criticize him as well.

    since 2022 (pending 2025 outcome) George is tracking for 3-1 on Lewis in WDC so let’s not pretend that while George isn’t great, he hasn’t clearly been outperforming that warshed old man.

    George has won 3 F1 races. Lewis has won more than twice that many World Drivers’ Championships. George should keep his bitch ass mouth shut.
