What is a man even doing these days🙏

Spain’s tactical setup really managed to stifle Dance... They forced them into those isolated one-on-one situations by cutting off any real ball movement, and honestly, that 4-2 defensive structure looked quite solid

I find it absolutely staggering that they don't even have health insurance coverage 🙏

In my view, the solution is quite straightforward: they simply need to grant fighters more comprehensive rights and significantly better compensation packages. If the organization is truly as successful as they claim to be, or even as successful as people generally believe...

I honestly can't believe ABC News put Belarus and Poland on the screen today instead of Iceland and the Netherlands... what a total mess 🙏

It’s like saying Kylian Mbappé is better than Lionel Messi, or Kawhi Leonard or Nikola Jokic is better than LeBron James. It just doesn't hold up.
There's still a massive amount of respect left to earn, which he probably won't do before his career wraps up...

Max is in great form right now, he's maturing, and he's got the superior car—though obviously, not every track is like this one where top speed is everything, but I doubt most of the trolls on this sub would even grasp that.

The absolute number one troll on this entire sports forum actually had the nerve to tell someone they were trolling... 🤦

Honestly, we really ought to implement a rule where anyone who dares to claim that Mercedes has a slower car gets an immediate ban... I mean, at this point, anyone insisting on anything else is just being a total hypocrite against everything our own eyes can clearly see...

Honestly, goodness gracious, where on earth did they dig up this Petry fellow from, because every single time he appears in the news, he looks like he just stumbled straight out of a local dive bar, and even if you consider Milinović to be an outlier, this guy makes him look like a total amateur...

To all those marketing-driven bettors who have spent years believing the fairy tales about how the Mercedes wasn't actually a dominant car🙂

What more could anyone possibly need besides this official confirmation that Mercedes has been running their vehicles in a sort of "safe mode" since the beginning of the hybrid era, just to avoid embarrassing the competition and triggering rule changes regarding the engines...
Good grief, if you read what Paddy Lowe is saying carefully, it seems they already held an advantage before the very first race of the season—an advantage they didn't even bother to use—only to find another 7 or 8 tenths during a subsequent test🙂
And yet, regardless, they proceeded to dominate qualifying and races like no one ever has in the history of the sport...

Who knows how much reserve power they might still be holding back today, or whether they are even utilizing their full strength at this moment, or perhaps they still aren't...
But let's pivot slightly to the narrative that Red Bull Racing is dominant and miles ahead of Mercedes, or that McLaren and Ferrari are incredibly dangerous threats that Mercedes is deeply afraid of...🙂

I haven't encountered a single person in real life who disagrees with the assertion that the Mercedes car is the most dominant ever seen in Formula 1. Such people clearly only exist on TikTok, perhaps popping in to check out F1 while taking a break from reading romance novels alongside CR and LeBron James

Gary Palmer8 said:Ah, right... that explains why Jean Todt used to wander into the Sauber garage back in the day just to order the drivers to hold up Jacques Villeneuve... and it's just like when Flavio told Nelson Piquet to intentionally hit the wall... or when they informed Rubens Barrichello he had to slow down just to let Michael Schumacher through during that race where only six cars were competing

But you're spot on, nobody else was getting orders quite like Valtteri Bottas... you've got a point there... with the others, things were three times worse than this...

I don't know how old you are, but even a six-year-old wouldn't be able to believe this...🙏🙏

Vettel grabbed the fastest lap... where are all you haters now?

It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen anything less than stellar from the Mercedes pit crew, though today felt just a hair bit more sluggish than usual...

Has Perez finished serving his penalty yet, or is he still sidelined?

Gary Palmer8 said:Isn't it perfectly normal that when you take a little damage to the wing, you can't just charge ahead like an idiot, but instead have to gradually build up your pace again... though, looking at the situation, you see how Max manages to maintain that gap without any trouble, even while dealing with the fastest engine on a car that isn't exactly in peak condition...

It’s not just about the wing, though; I mean, he’s basically driving on one wheel at this point...

It looks like Sainz is taking things off-road today...

Gary Palmer8 said:well, he's just pushing the car to its absolute limits...

and Max is slowing down just a touch to manage those tires...

🙏🙏🤦

The car was absolutely trashed, they spent ages fixing up the damage, and then he somehow pulls out a lap that’s two seconds faster than Max's...

Seriously, who actually buys into this nonsense anymore...

It seems like Bottas is just here on vacation...

Jason Campbell70 said:It looks like Hamilton's car took some pretty significant damage...

I wonder why he isn't heading into the pits then...

darkmarlin16 said:Was the garage closed up?

It was because of all the car parts sitting right at the entrance...

Haas might actually file for bankruptcy halfway through the season due to their absolute disaster of a car

I can't help but indulge in a little daydreaming,

But honestly, when was the last time we actually saw two Ferrari cars standing together on the podium?

If he manages to squeeze through one more corner without losing momentum, there's a real chance Alonso could pull right up to the podium...
