Unknown...🙂
What did I say? Ferrari is a joke—not only are they trailing behind Red Bull, but they’re actually falling behind their own junior team, Toro Rosso, who they basically sell last year's Power Unit to...🤣 Sebastian Vettel hits the barrier twice—it’s absolute chaos out there—and Kimi is still sitting right ahead of him in the standings...😁
So, Richard is getting a new engine. Honestly, it’s about time—I actually think they’re faster than Max right now. The real question is, can they actually give Ford a run for their money?
I’d totally vote in the poll if there was an option for "Ferrari is going to be trash"—because honestly, I think Red Bull is just going to stay ahead of them again. And we all know where the real Mecca is...
Man, I am so over this Goodyear nonsense and all these tire issues... 🤦 What do you guys think—is it possible Bear's advantage is actually just having better luck with the Goodyear tires rather than the engine? 🤔
It's the engine. Everyone's running the same tires.

northerncobra31 said:He was justified, though, because Lewis Hamilton was right behind him. What else was he supposed to do—just let Hamilton dive down the inside to overtake? It’s not Hamilton's fault for being aggressive and not waiting for a better opening, especially since there weren't 66 laps left to go. The driver in the back always seems to get the blame.
I'm pretty sure the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team wasn't thrilled about how that went down. He should've just let him through instead of wrecking the race for both of them! Lewis Hamilton decided to strike back immediately right at the start, just like how Nico Rosberg attacked him in that first turn.

He took him right through the first turn—Lewis handled the start much better this time around. But honestly, Ham needs to fix that immediately if he’s serious about chasing the title. Because man, Rosberg is absolutely lethal off the line.
Michael Diaz4 said:It’s possible, even though everyone was hyping up Kimi before the race started. Even Sebastian Vettel mentioned that Kimi is really the only driver out there who isn't just a pawn in some political game. Vettel himself is more aggressive; if Daniel Ricciardo hadn't been playing such dirty defense against him, he might have caught both of them. But there's a difference between catching someone and actually overtaking them. You know better than anyone how tricky this track is for passing. If Vettel had been sitting in second place, it would've been a different story—Max Verstappen probably wouldn't have been able to hold him off.
🤦
That's just your opinion. Verstappen is better than Vettel🙂

Honestly, even Red Bull Racing never pulled stunts this stupid, and they definitely didn't have the "smartest" pit crew in the business...div>
Looks like you're getting just as worked up as your favorite driver—claiming the pits ruined a certain victory🙂... but I saw both Red Bulls start ahead of both Ferraris, so I'm not sure what exactly you were watching.
I told you so—I totally called it! This kid is a pure natural talent... he went out there in his very first race and beat Ricciardo to win the damn race!🙂>
I finally have someone to root for once Alonso actually retires—actually, scratch that, I’m already rooting for him now👍
Ferrari really dropped the ball by not capitalizing on that Mercedes blunder. And Vettel was complaining over the radio about how much he can't stand the guy... well, good for him that Kimi took the win instead!
As for that Hamilton-Rosberg crash? Honestly, I think Rosberg is the one to blame.
