man, this aged like milk... just look at those Sainz team orders.
While Ferrari is busy holding yet another pointless press conference about what they're gonna do next, Lujo will probably just swap his tires and blow right past both of them 😂
There’s a photo floating around on X from the crowd showing them pulling Zhou Guanyu out—he got stuck in the barriers. I mean, it's fine they aren't making it look as dramatic as Grosjean's crash, but can someone just let us know if he's okay and how bad he got banged up?
Lawrence Garcia5 said:"Happened to be in the right place"? How many times do I have to read this nonsense? Everyone acted shocked and claimed he made a mistake by jumping from McLaren to Mercedes. The guy believed in them back when they weren't even remotely close to that level.
I think he only had one win in his first season. Then the hybrid era hit and they started growing together. You don't just stumble into winning in the best car unless you're actually that caliber. You can't just drop Benteke into Real Madrid and expect magic, it fucking doesn't work like that.
Yeah, he got lucky. Whether it was pure grind, a stroke of luck, or just a fluke—whatever—he caught a break. How exactly it happened doesn't really matter. He definitely didn't have a crystal ball or any divine intervention.
All the hate directed at Lewis is mostly because Mercedes dominated for so long—which, let's be real, basically killed the excitement in the sport. Lewis was just a guy who happened to land in the perfect seat at the perfect time, and honestly, anyone else would’ve done the exact same thing if they were him. Throw in his political views—which definitely aren't for everyone, especially if you don't want that stuff in your sports—plus his interest in fashion, which doesn't exactly fit the "alpha male" vibe Formula 1 tries to push, and you've got a recipe for constant backlash.
If I have anything to nitpick about him, it’s mainly how much he leans into religion. Most of the other stuff he says or does actually resonates with me. As a driver, he could retire tomorrow or in five years, and frankly, I doubt anyone can take away what he’s already won—let alone pull off another title. If he actually managed that, it would be a bigger shock than all seven of his previous championships combined.

For instance, we've got Horner trying to convince us that Max and Perez are getting the exact same treatment from Red Bull. "Horner: Red Bull happy for either Verstappen or Perez to win F1 Title" @Motorsport.com
