Button finally grabbed those first points—honestly, I didn't think that overrated clown was actually going to pull it off... what a massive waste of money by McLaren...

Someone’s definitely going to get burned for this one. At the end of the day, the best driver on the planet—and honestly, the most dominant—is just cruising toward the title, while the haters (looking at you, those clowns over at ESPN) will still be stuck in their usual toxic cycles...

But one good run doesn't make the whole season--😉

Plus, there's a huge difference when Vettel manages to limp home in fifth instead of missing out on points entirely or finishing tenth...

It looks like the sabotage continues until the end. I mean, haven't we seen enough of how Vettel handles pressure by now?

Tyler Ross56 said:It's either win big or go home, but he's just driving like a coward out there.

Honestly, he's one of the most spineless guys to ever hit the grid—alongside Flavia. Luckily, people will probably just remember him as someone who was overrated for a long time.

stormybadger8 said:They’re being objective to the point of insanity...🤦
Did they use the Stars and Stripes as a napkin before scribbling these scores down?🤣

Give me a break. Rosberg actually had a better race than Hamilton...
First off, his team absolutely screwed him over with the Safety Car timing. They pulled him into the pits way earlier than Hamilton—way more chaotic traffic than what Lewis dealt with, if I recall correctly. He had to clear Massa, Ricciardo, and whoever else was in front, yet he still managed to close the gap to Hamilton just as fast, if not faster.
And more importantly, he started behind Vettel and finished right on Hamilton's tail. So he didn't lose ground from the grid, whereas Hamilton...
Plus, I honestly feel like if the race went another 3 or 4 laps, he probably would've overtaken him. Even without the pit lane disaster, I wouldn't be surprised if he caught Lewis...

As for Kimi and all the nonsense he dealt with? Not even worth discussing. Honestly, after the restart, he might have actually driven the best race out of everyone behind the Safety Car...
Sure, it makes sense that Vettel stayed ahead because his qualifying and start were miles better than Kimi's, but it wouldn't be a stretch if they'd given them the same rating...
But there is absolutely no way in hell Kimi belongs in the same group as those other 7s...

The only funny part is giving Vettel a 10 for pure luck. I wonder how much more luck he can scrape together before it turns against him.

graniteharbor502 said:That is certainly my own impression of the situation as well.

I just hope they don't sacrifice Kim for it.

stormybadger8 said:He’s got plenty of excuses, but the bottom line is he never felt like he truly belonged in that squad. Honestly, he didn't even feel wanted. The beginning of the end was really Malaysia 2013. 😉
Ricciardo and that whole 2014 season? They’re just the fallout from all of that...

Basically, Malaysia 2013 marked the end of an era, while Malaysia 2015 was the start of a whole new one. 🙂

There's really only one way to explain it. Ricc was simply the better driver. Period.

neonfox65 Asks:
Come on, man—explain to me how Vettel managed to turn last year's total junk heap into a championship winner in less than three months?

The driver is just there to give feedback—it's up to the engineers, and Ferrari has over 500 of them, after all—to actually develop the car. This machine was already being built long before Vettel arrived. By the time he got here, the work was pretty much set in stone.

Honestly, I don't think Vettel was the one who really pulled it together—it was more like Kimi finally getting his shot once the team decided to focus on him after Alonso moved on. Vettel just seems to have had a bit more luck lately, I guess. His big break will come eventually—I'm just crossing my fingers they don't toss him aside like Red Bull did to Webber. We all saw what happened to Vettel when they gave Ricciardo those same preferential terms...

Just saw the video—pretty interesting stuff! —really makes you think about how things have changed. kaže:
You have to be able to see where he's coming from—he was just sticking up for the home team, you know? It’s that classic local pride thing—the kind of stuff you see at any big stadium in the States. 😁 Where was it ever said that winning four titles with Red Bull Racing isn't something a driver would be thrilled about? It sounds totally backwards when you put it that way—kind of a paradox, really. You could really see how ridiculous that sounded during those intense boos from the crowd.
Something was definitely missing—and that something is the legendary crew behind those iconic red cars, along with their wild, high-energy fanbase spread from right here in the States all the way across the globe.

I’m honestly a little worried—for everyone else on the grid, that is—that Vettel might actually get fired up now. This whole rush of euphoria could be exactly what he needs to snap out of that slump he’s been stuck in lately over at Red Bull Racing.
Look, let's be real—Mercedes is still definitely ahead of the pack, but man, that loss really knocked them sideways—they haven't even begun to recover yet. 👍

The next race is probably going to be more of the same—but hey, one thing is for sure: nobody is touching Ferrari when they're sitting in second place this year! 🙂

cosmicridge5 said:It’s pretty obvious Louie is just your typical nouveau riche simpleton—trying way too hard to show off like some peacock.

Real icons don't feel the need to pose; that's just what fakers and losers do. So, he can go ahead and rack up 666 titles if he wants, he'll still be a loser in my book. 😳

And don't even get me started on "eccentrics"—you and I are the actual eccentrics here. Louie is just some hillbilly dreaming about one day becoming the next 50 Cent.

He'll probably grace us with an album soon—I'm just overjoyed at the thought: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...oc-Nation.html

I'm sure he's totally devastated by your opinion. 🤣🤣🤣

silvergull10 said:That's why Ron Dennis is still defending the Honda choice—he's basically arguing you just can't win a title as a customer team anymore. Mercedes has such a massive advantage right now, including reliability, and they couldn't care less about whatever nonsense Williams is rambling about. They don't even need engine upgrades; this setup suits them perfectly.

Exactly—they aren't crazy enough to give other teams engines that are just as good as the ones they keep for themselves...

Is every single song just the same thing now? Lol, honestly—I feel like we've got nothing left to talk about here!

lol, SARS was actually pretty refreshing—it's just that some people clearly have an issue with where it all started. Poor things...

rustydrifter10 said:The mods really need to get on the same page here. Decisions regarding bans shouldn't be made in a total rush—and that goes for lifting them, too. Just hang tight for a bit.

If they handle things the same way they split up the snacks at the stadium—where rival fans just spam reports and the mods auto-ban without even checking what actually happened—then man, we're in for a rough ride...

You can really tell how well-organized this is 🙂—I’m gonna have to stay sharp, man...

well, I guess it’s always gonna be the SuperSonics for me :P

I was such a huge fan back when the Thunder had Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp—or even that Ray Allen 2007 era. Honestly, the current roster just doesn't really do it for me lately.🙂

where'd we get stuck? lol

Getting that ban lifted—of course

I honestly feel like I got banned unfairly just because of my takes—specifically regarding the basketball teams and players I root for. Most of my warnings were over things that everyone else on this forum discusses daily. Even all three mods reached out to me about stuff that one of them was actually involved in personally.

Basically, if I posted something critical about a team's front office, I’d get flagged for trolling, even though a moderator can say the exact same thing without any issues.

Another thing—after I called out a certain member for their comments once, I got warned for "targeting" them because they're supposedly a "model user." Meanwhile, that same guy gets to talk down to people in threads telling them to "watch their mouth." And yeah, he's still active here, insulting everyone...

In my opinion, moderators should stay neutral, but looking at their posts, it's pretty obvious they have some serious biases when deciding who's breaking the rules and who isn't...

Best regards,

I just got banned from the basketball subforum—can you believe that?

Does anyone know where I can file an appeal? I can't seem to get into the subforum for banned users...

stormybadger8 said:Things are getting messy now 🤣

Man, look at the face on Rosberg 🙏🤣
Hamilton is probably about to lose it after being told he was targeted—which, honestly, is fair play considering what went down back in Canada 😁

I’m genuinely curious which one of those three Mercedes-Benz bosses—who can't even agree on who's actually in charge—made this call 😍

I bet a Brawn is just sitting back watching this whole mess unfold, thinking, "See? This is what happens when you don't have one real leader running the show" 😍

Wait, what exactly did Hamilton do in Canada???
Didn't he slow down by three seconds a lap just to let Rosberg catch up?
