Dana Murphy4 said:I guess I’m just a little confused by some people claiming that Perez didn't deserve his win today. It seems a bit strange to say he was undeserving when he was sitting all the way back in 18th place after the first 😁
Kenneth Cruz67 said:🤦
I mean, I guess Lewis was already chasing after the Mercedes' motor even before the Mercedes team truly existed as we know it today. 😵
shadowmarlin22 said:Honestly, screw it all—Brawn Rosberg and Schumacher built everything 🤦
Let’s just look at the facts for a second...
Back when those three were running the Mercedes, there wasn't any real progress—they were sitting 4th, 4th, 5th in the standings, basically sliding backward every single year. The first year they brought in Wolff and Lewis, they jumped straight to second place, and then eventually became champions—though, let's be real, they didn't turn it all around in just one season.
Obviously, they probably hit their peak dominance this year because I'm guessing Brawn developed the foundation seven years ago and they finally cracked the code now. 🤣🤣🤣
Tibi, seriously, go get some help.
Nicholas Newman2 said:😂The way things are starting out, Williams Racing might actually grab a point here.
James Harris34 said:Mercedes messed up because they went for a double stack and struggled to find their rhythm with a new driver on the roster. They made similar blunders back at the German Grand Prix in 2018, and we saw it pop up a few times this year too, especially during the races in Italy and Russia.
It's obvious that if George Russell were in this car, he’d probably take the win along with most of the rest of the grid. But you have to actually develop a car to this level through years of grueling work—it's always a mix of driver talent and team execution—and once you've done that, reaping the rewards becomes much easier.
copperdrifter26 said:So you're saying it's the exact same strategy Sebastian Vettel used, except Vettel didn't make it into Q3? I don't see the issue here. A Soft > hard > Soft / Medium (with a one-lap stint) is absolutely plenty. There’s no way he’s going to lose a whole second on an empty tank just because of one qualifying lap on Softs—especially since they knocked out 5 or 6 fast laps on them during FP without any trouble.
mellowtiger83 said:That prediction is about as reliable as the claim that Hamilton would have finished third or lower in 2021 under these exact same regulations.😁
Tibac, you seem to have forgotten how easily our local banks can just shut us down.
Jason Campbell70 said:Thanks.
It isn't because the race outcome robbed you of enough drama to fuel endless debates and mental gymnastics.
No, you're staying quiet simply because you're being considerate and kind.
Thanks, Tibi. 🙂
I don't know what you're trying to say with that, but I'm not following. says:
Man, you talk so much nonsense it’s actually exhausting to read. 🤦
Kenneth Cruz67 said:But wait, what does Williams even have right now? Is it Honda or Renault? 😬
I honestly had no idea they had switched up their engine supplier.
By the way, I'm thinking we should all just start calling Russell Cinderella from now on!
Kenneth Cruz67 said:Jose Myers87 As I was saying:
I honestly feel like Bottas is driving for both his own career and Lewis Hamilton's today. The stakes couldn't possibly be higher, and I guess you could even say this might just be the most important race of the century!
I honestly feel like the stakes involved were just so incredibly high that maybe, if I'm being totally honest, Lewis might have just made up the whole coronavirus thing just to get a head start on heading home early; I mean, it’s possible he just wasn't really feeling up for all the extra hassle, wouldn't you agree? 🤣I guess you could say that Lewis Hamilton is truly in a league of his own, though I suppose it depends on how one views his current trajectory within the sport! It honestly feels like we are watching a living legend navigate such complex waters, and while there might be some debate among the fans, I’ve always felt that his sheer talent and presence on the track are simply undeniable, wouldn't you agree? I have to say, things aren't exactly looking great at the moment, I suppose.Well, if you take what Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has been saying lately, it sounds like the F1 World champion is currently battling with some mild symptoms of coronavirus. I suppose if I had to describe things right now, I might say they feel somewhat mild, though I guess that’s just my perspective on the matter! It seems like there might be some confusion regarding those pesky coronavirus symptoms, though I suppose one could argue that everyone experiences them a little differently depending on their own unique constitution! It’s quite possible that someone might feel a bit under the weather with just a slight fever or perhaps a lingering cough, but then again, you never truly know how it might manifest until it actually happens. I guess we all just have to stay cautious and hope for the best, don't you think?
I can't help but wonder if feeling unwell with just those mild symptoms might be a bit of a convenient excuse, perhaps to dodge the media circus, sponsors, and all those heavy obligations for both this weekend and the next one.
It’s really a toss-up, isn't it? I mean, I can't help but wonder if wiredfalcon2 might actually have a point when he suggests that Lewis won't be taking home the championship title next year. It feels like such a massive question mark, though, doesn't it? Maybe he's right, or maybe we're all just overthinking the whole thing! 😬
stormytiger4 said:So, which camp are you in?
darkmarlin16 said:Seriously, why on earth are you watching those hacks over at Sky Sports? Are you just as much of a tool as they are?

ruggedhawk20 said:Well then—go invite the President over for a BBQ.
That'd be about right.
Alex Barnes93 said:Classic move, keeping Vettel out in the pits way longer than necessary...
mellowtiger83 said:The only way Charles Leclerc finishes behind Sebastian Vettel is if he retires, crashes out, spins, or ends up driving on rims. Anything else is pure science fiction; he is simply too much faster than Sebastian for that to be a reality.
They are operating in completely different worlds. For Sebastian, it’s an unreachable height.
Kenneth Cruz67 said:😁
I really think you should take a moment to think about it. I mean, the rules aren't changing from this year, and everyone will still be driving the exact same cars. Honestly, who could possibly snatch a championship away from Lewis Hamilton? Perhaps Valtteri Bottas might have a shot, though I guess I don't quite believe in that scenario, and I suspect you probably don't either 😁
As for the rest of the grid, I just don't see anyone being anywhere near him, let alone becoming a real threat.
Maybe a McLaren powered by Mečkin engines could pull something off, but honestly, that feels like even more of a fantasy than Bottas winning the title.
It looks like we are heading into a long, rather tedious season next year where we'll likely find ourselves listening to God Save the Queen weekend after weekend. I suppose the only realistic way to avoid that is if the Queen passes away, in which case we'll all be hearing God Save the King instead. 😁
Kenneth Cruz67 said:Look, I have a soft spot for Alonso and all, but honestly, I think Lewis is just a bit more my style. I'm really looking forward to seeing him grab that eighth title and absolutely shatter every single record out there. 😁
If anyone is actually going to be in need of help, I'd say it’ll probably be you next year when the Stroll family starts acting out against Vettel. 😛
darkmarlin16 said:I'm with you on that one. He pulled off a masterclass of a lap—honestly, it doesn't get any better than that. Probably why they didn't even bother bringing him back out.
Anyone seeing any decent action on Speed Trap?
