The analysis would actually be spot on (if I’m even getting this right) if we were just counting the exact same laps for both drivers during the same race. Like, say lap 25 of Race Z, where driver one hits x.xx.xxx and driver two hits y.y.yyy. That’s how you look at the real gaps.
Here is a quick little breakdown of how this season has gone so far (some people might find it funny, others probably won't): If Max had spent even half as much time fighting Hamilton as he did battling Vettel, they’d be sitting right on top of each other within 15 points by now.
And since the track is basically built for Formula 1, isn't that why I mentioned Mexico? Because they were sitting pretty in 5th place there last year.
Before the season even kicked off, I was calling it during the testing sessions—I knew Esteban Ocon was going to be sniffing around those podium spots this year. He’s constantly hovering right there in the mix, but for some reason, the stars just haven't aligned for him yet. The kid's got talent, though. 👍 What about Mexico?
Man, he’s been shouting it from the rooftops for ages—he’s always said Ferrari completely wrecked him, held him back, and totally trashed his career because their crew is absolute garbage.
Looking ahead to 2018: If they don't snag the title in the next couple of seasons, Vettel is going to be looking for any excuse to bail out. And once he does, we're going to see this whole fallen powerhouse start its downward spiral (and it won't just be because Vettel left). In the end (though let's see how 2018 actually plays out), there are going to be some things where Alonso was actually right all along.
So, after three absolutely disastrous races for the Red Bull guys, we’ve got a new—or rather, a returning—World Series champ heading into the 2017 Formula 1 season. DESERVED? I’ll let you guys fight it out in the comments...
Look, I'm not gonna have the bandwidth to keep resizing these images for you guys. But don't worry, I'm not just dumping this stuff in the trash; I'll make sure to drop a photo and a decent chunk of writing in here every single week.
Alright, listen up, all you racing junkies out there... Allan McNish (Dumfries, December 29, 1969) is an English driver, and honestly, he’s pretty damn good. Back in 2002, he was pulling shifts for Ferrari F1, where he managed to snag his best finish of the year—a solid 7th place at the Malaysian Grand Prix. He’s spent plenty of time behind the wheel in all sorts of other high-octane series, both before and after that stint. But if we’re talking about his absolute peak, you have to look at 2009 when he dominated the Le Mans Prototype category, taking the win alongside his teammates Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen. 👍
Screw braking zones and who lunged at whom; you could spend forty-five years arguing about which bull charged harder, and it wouldn't change a damn thing. So, is anyone actually heading out to Austria or what? 🤷
Quote: Sinn Féin says: Honestly, such a killer idea. If we can actually pull this off and get everyone on the same page, it’s going to be legendary.

SO THAT'S 4 PEOPLE DOWN FOR NOW. Look, if we don't manage to get this group together by this Saturday, then it's basically dead in the water. We aren't happening. 😢
Daniel Ricciardo went straight for the jugular on Sebastian Vettel: I’ve been looking over the latest updates regarding the Formula 1 landscape, and honestly, the way things are shifting feels like we're staring down the barrel of a massive power struggle. You look at the current trajectory of teams like Mercedes-Benz and how they're trying to claw back their dignity after some truly rough seasons, and it’s clear that the technical regulations aren't just minor hurdles—they're absolute walls. People keep talking about driver lineups like it's settled business, but when you see the tension brewing within the top tiers, nothing is ever really set in stone. Take the conversation around Lewis Hamilton and his future moves; it’s not just about a seat change, it’s about the entire ecosystem of the sport shifting underfoot. We’ve seen legends like Sebastian Vettel move on, and it leaves this vacuum that everyone is scrambling to fill, yet nobody seems to have a real plan beyond just surviving the next race weekend. Even with heavy hitters like Red Bull Racing dominating the narrative lately, there’s this underlying sense that the gap is being bridged by sheer engineering desperation rather than actual superiority. It's messy, it's loud, and frankly, most of the pundits are missing the forest for the trees because they're too busy obsessing over individual lap times instead of the political warfare happening in the garages. Everyone's acting like they know what's coming, but in a sport this volatile, the only thing you can count on is that the status quo is about to get absolutely wrecked. Daniel Ricciardo isn't holding back, and he just took a massive swing at Sebastian Vettel, basically telling him he needs to start using his head a bit more. Look, if you're gonna play this game, you actually need to put some real thought into what you're putting out there and flesh out the rest of the content too. 😂 Daniel Ricciardo says— Absolutely zero titles. Nothing.. 🙏 And he still walks away unscathed.
Serious question here: how many of us could actually pull this off? Like, right here in the States!? If we went as a whole Group, does anyone even know a plug who could score tickets for a crowd that size—obviously we’d pay full price—so we can all sit together and actually enjoy the damn thing. I want us to hash out the pros and cons face to face. 🙂 And obviously, we’ll have to grab drinks somewhere the night before... If we can get 10-12 people together, I’m in, just purely for the hell of seeing everyone. What do you guys think of the idea?
We should probably drop another poll in here. I want to see what the general consensus is among the fans regarding that whole "incident" between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. And finally, we're actually getting a real RACE, one that reminds me of those legendary days back in the 80s. I'm loving this. p.s. If Ford takes the title during a season like this, then I’ll eat my hat because they definitely didn't earn it. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT RACE!!!
