When you’re sitting on a dominant car and there’s a massive skill gap between your drivers, you can definitely afford to play pretend and act like they're equals. This year, we actually missed out on the first half of the season for the first time in this hybrid era, and once we wrap up at Indianapolis, Bottas is officially going to be the number two driver. Honestly, I'm fine with that. They’d be idiots if they acted like the McLaren crew back in 2007—letting the drivers tear each other apart until they end up throwing away the championship.
Basically, up until now, they’ve been crushing what was left of Bottas's confidence with strategic calls. From here on out, they’ll just tell him, "Move over for Hamilton so we can hold up Vettel," or some variation of that. If Ferrari has even an ounce of common sense, they’ll be doing the exact same thing.
That’s a whole different story. Mercedes isn't running a dominant car this year, so grabbing a win isn't a cakewalk anymore. Plus, anyone claiming the second driver isn't even a threat is just delusional—even if you think those backmarkers are actually putting up a fight.
Let’s not go looking for apologies before things even happen. Right now, Ferrari has the superior car, but Mercedes holds the edge if it starts raining because their drivers just handle those wet conditions better. If the track stays dry, Ferrari should be leading the pack. If it gets wet, expect Mercedes to take over. For Ferrari, losing out on a dry track would be a total disaster, and for Mercedes, it’s all about owning the rain.
Hamilton and Rosberg used to be buddies too, right up until Hamilton realized just how damn good Rosberg actually was. This sport is way too cutthroat for people to maintain both a rivalry and a friendship at the same time. Especially when you're teammates.
Man, I can't even remember the last time both Bambi and the other guy actually scored points! 🙏 Huge win for me today. Seriously, I’m celebrating that masterclass sixth-place finish just like Alonso would. 😁
Go ahead and run a poll asking if people would give up their assets to their favorite driver if they clinched the championship this year—if they don't vote yes, they definitely aren't serious. I reckon we'd see plenty of positive responses. 😁
What an intense season we're having. It's another high-stakes, make-or-break race for Ferrari. I'm really pulling for them to take the win and keep the championship battle tight heading into the fall.
Look, I mess up technical stuff all the time, but this isn't my typo—it's a total blunder from Ross. 😁 I never bother making predictions from scratch because checking if I listed every single driver is just too much work. Instead, I usually grab one of the previously posted lists and just tweak it to fit my vibe.
1. Sebastian Vettel 2. Lewis Hamilton 3. Kimi Raikkonen 4. Max Verstappen 5. Daniel Ricciardo 6. Valtteri Bottas 7. Sergio Perez 8. Esteban Ocon 9. Nico Hulkenberg 10. Kevin Magnussen 11. Charles Leclerc 12. Carlos Sainz 13. Fernando Alonso 14. Pierre Gasly 15. Marcus Ericsson 16. Sergey Sirotkin
Ivic is proving once again that being kicked out of Konkvic was a total mistake. Meanwhile, I keep showing those Bambis that I’m ready for retirement and they’re basically overpaying me at this point.

Ivic is probably fighting his way back to Konkvić. Just like Kimi Räikkönen did today at Silverstone, he's showing everyone that people have written him off far too early before. 🙏

I’ve said it more than once already: I don't see any ads on this site. I have an AdBlocker installed, and when I’m browsing on my iPad or phone via Reddit, the ads aren't showing up there either. So, look, if you’re having trouble actually reading or—more importantly—understanding what’s being said, maybe just don't get snappy with me because you missed something or failed to grasp the point.
Now, when exactly and why did this somehow turn into a thread about me? Am I supposed to expect every single person on Reddit that I happen to annoy to start popping up here one by one just to take their shots? 🤔
It’s honestly pretty wild. You have someone who’s been abusing the PŽK for years just to push their own agenda—which was painfully obvious when they tried to hijack this entire thread—and then they actually have the nerve to challenge everyone else to start posting about their "contributions" to the subforum. 🤷
I don't know who you think you're getting under the skin of, but honestly, you're starting to annoy those of us who are lucky enough to avoid your constant PŽK bombardment.
