I didn't quite catch if they applied that specific setup to Nelson Piquet or if it was just for Fernando Alonso🤷

Heh...

It really comes down to this:

General Motors finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and then sliding all the way back to 17th. 😍

Is someone actually pulling my leg here? 😁

I’m sitting here staring at the qualifying results, scanning the back of the grid to find my guy, and wouldn't you know it...

Nelson Piquet is right where he always seems to end up 😍

while Fernando Alonso is nowhere to be found

And then I read that one comment again claiming he didn't miss his chance 🙏

but it looks like everyone else did 😲 😲 😲 🤣 🙏

I’ve been rooting for them long before this recent run of titles began.

I can certainly vouch for that statement. 🙏

we're doing great ☕

Picket seems a bit off his game today, honestly.

A respectable 20th place finish, though. 😁

Lewis Hamilton, essentially an engineer among drivers 🙏 🙏 🙏

Jonathan Booth5 said:but then again, I haven't missed a single race in the last twenty years 😁

Are you absolutely sure about that? ☕

I honestly can't make heads or tails of this 🙂

And now he's definitely overshooting.😍

Joseph Flores15 said:I'm anticipating a win for Trullie 🙏🙏🙏

Honestly, I had no idea people were holding expectations quite like that.

🤣😍

They’d probably sooner cast Max in some trashy, low-budget mob movie featuring five strippers than actually step in and ban those devilish diffusers 🙂

I honestly don't know how you'll stomach it after seeing two Red Bull victories back-to-back😲 😁

I’m anticipating seeing one or two Renaults out there 🙏🙏🙏

I have to admit, when you really step back and look at the facts, he strikes me as the most objective and reliable person out of the entire group. Morgan Murphy7..

It’s a rare thing to encounter someone who has never once resorted to an insult. Usually, when people feel backed into a corner, they reach for a cheap jab just to win a point, but this individual stays remarkably composed. Instead of attacking the person, they always lean on solid arguments to defend their position. It’s much like watching a seasoned litigator in a high-stakes courtroom; they don't need to raise their voice or throw mud because they trust the strength of their evidence to do the heavy lifting. There is a certain quiet dignity in choosing logic over hostility.

I’ll admit, I’m personally feeling pretty optimistic this year. I’m really rooting for Hemić to snag even a single point. Honestly, looking at how he’s managing things right now—even with all the obstacles in his way—it feels like he’s finally starting to demonstrate what he's truly capable of. If people are still choosing to overlook that potential, well, that’s their loss, I suppose.😛

Where on earth did you find me to serve as your benchmark for objectivity? 🤣 😍 😁

Arthur Doyle70 said:I essentially agree, though I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a 90/100 certainty (unless we're talking about an absolutely dominant car). In my view, there's always a significant variable where making the right call at the right moment can make a world of difference, even if you're driving a slower car—and vice versa, of course)....🤷

Just look at the caliber of teams Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso are currently stuck with, and the fact they manage to scrape together any points at all... honestly, at this stage, just seeing them finish is a win in my book.🤣🤣

Well, yeah, 😁

I follow Fernando Alonso so closely that if there's even a slight chance he might grab a single point, I find myself practically trembling with excitement.🤣

Taylor Thompson9 said:How on earth does someone with zero talent driving a car that’s clearly inferior to that other guy's end up ahead of them??
ah, I suppose we could just say he's lucky, if that's the only way to explain it.

P.S. Honestly, managing to hold his own against Mark Weber for even a few minutes with a machine like that was quite something.

We have to be realistic here; you have to admit the car accounts for about 90% of a driver's success during a race.

That remaining 10% is what allows drivers like Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton to pull off those moves where they manage to hold off the cars behind them for a handful of laps.🤷

Honestly, I think Nick Heidfeld had significantly more luck than actual sense.

10 Ferrari 0 🤣🤣🤣 😍

"It seems everyone is fixated on these half-points being awarded... but I can't help but wonder how that logic would hold up if we were still operating under Bernie’s old-school philosophy regarding race victories. Would we be looking at a mere half a win for Jenson ??!" 😍
