He had the top-tier car just like Kimi and Massa this season, which made the races pretty dull...
What's the deal with those two and being boring??????? Hmm

nah 😕
it's not my
but if you're from Poland 🙏👍

🙄 everything's gonna be fine! 👍

Finally, our anthem is actually playing at a Formula 1 race!!!!!!! 😁

Austin Evans said:You wouldn't believe it, but Räikkönen isn't actually at fault this time.
Honestly, he's just as much to blame as Kubica. It’s just that Kubica got lucky because that colorblind Hamilton didn't plow right into him.

If he were actually colorblind, he would've hit Kubica!! But maybe he just saw a bigger threat to the championship and
made the smart choice to pick a side 😂😂😂😂😂

What a freaking genius! 👍

Jason Campbell70 said:it's the sport's fault😉

😁 just go out there and punch him!

I honestly wish I could be more like darkmarlin16 one day, because my little "plan" was basically just holding on until the safety car came out, hoping the fuel mix would kick in and Robert Kubica would brake hard enough to let Kimi through
so his later pit stop wouldn't lose too much time thanks to Kubica. But then the safety car showed up and my whole "vision" just completely stalled. I guess maybe what I have isn't really a vision at all, just knowing things without actually seeing them coming!!! 😁

If that idiot doesn't pull off a championship by the end of the season, then we’re all just a bunch of complete idiots!!!!!!!!!! 😂

Raymond Ortiz89 said:heh, decent race even if the network is total garbage. they didn't even start the broadcast until 7:30 PM, which was literally right when Hamilton slammed into Kimi. seriously, what a joke. those guys are completely incompetent. and people actually call him a top-tier driver? please. absolute trash.

and that guy who was talking all that trash about Massa today? yeah, he just showed everyone how he actually drives, just like Alonso.

Old man Massa's car is barely enough to threaten a guy like Kubica, let alone anyone else!!

THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

Anyone who actually thought Kubica was going to take the win today clearly had nothing but pure visionary delusions about what would happen in the pits!!
Seriously, props to you for that foresight!! 😁 👍

rustystag7 said:yeah, but you gotta remember that at every single race so far, Ferrari put Robert Kubica on the starting grid 👍

I mean, obviously, you can't rule that out!! Kimi would probably just destroy him!

Exactly! You better be glued to the TV by 5:55 PM and don't you dare move, or you're gonna miss everything!

Jason Campbell70 said:McLaren pitted early, and Kimi Räikkönen looks like he’s gonna cruise to a win...

My only real worry is how trashed the asphalt is on some of these turns. It’s basically a gravel pit out there, and even during qualifying, everyone was practically kissing the walls.
Someone is definitely gonna wreck for sure.👋

Robert Kubica is probably gonna brake just a tiny bit too much, maybe? Just enough so that the gap to Kimi widens and Kimi won't have
enough room to overtake through the pits, even if he stays on track for
another few laps behind him!! 😁

And honestly, this isn't even a school topic!! 🙂

And honestly, when things get a little messy out there, I swear I see someone late-charging or pulling some desperate counter-move during almost every single session, let alone

actually managing to pull ahead of the competition with a move like that!! I mean, personally, I think Kimi Räikkönen was basically asleep at the wheel... but this guy totally capitalized on it!!

Jason Campbell70 said:He was trying to hold his line, or whatever, I guess. It’s not like he meant to do it, though.
With the braking, that single-piece rear wing just doesn't have enough downforce anymore. It’s basically useless now, and I guess it caused the rear end to step out a little bit.
First off, he almost totaled Kimi Räikkönen. Then, after turning right, he just cut straight through the chicane. And of course, they slapped him with a penalty for that. Typical.🙄

Either way, it’s just unappealing and boring, isn't it?

Another thing—"Kimi almost crashed"—I wouldn't say that... He just squeezed right in front of and...
I mean, he had plenty of time to hit the brakes, but what else was he gonna do? I guess he just didn't.
How did the GOATs actually pass people? Was it just because they had a faster race car on the straights?🙄
I don't even consider him an idol, honestly. I mean, just look at how much he used to push against Hill and Alesi... if you actually bother to remember!
I mean, let's be real—these cornering sections just aren't wide enough if you're actually looking for some serious action. I guess it's just how the tracks are laid out.

So where is he even landing with a slightly slower race car???
He's not right behind Hamilton... he's not even within a few spots back

Is Fernando Alonso actually a bad driver if Hamilton isn't even that great?????? 🙄

Jason Campbell70 said:It's right on the edge🤔

actually, not really. His race car is barely the second fastest (just behind Ferrari). So I guess Lewis Hamilton finishing third or fourth isn't exactly some massive achievement

Fourth???? 🙄

I mean, I’d just go back to that whole thing about car setup and raw speed...
If the car isn't dialed in, even if you're working your ass off, you aren't gonna see much of a difference, I guess...

Jason Campbell70 said:I mean, we could go back and forth on this, but honestly, this isn't the place for it, and it’s basically impossible to be objective about it anyway.

The only time I actually remember him pulling an overtake was at the end of the main straight in Indianapolis, and even then, he had a faster race car. Plus, he cut the chicane to make it happen, and they didn't even penalize him.
Someone please give me one example of him making an actual, impressive move on a top-tier driver.

- and Kimi, just holding his line while keeping the race car steady... 🙄 man, that's hard to do, like, really hard!! I haven't seen anyone else pull that off lately....

When it comes to being aggressive—Sergio Perez and Kimi Räikkönen are way more aggressive!!! Let's just count up the overtakes and the actual excitement levels.
Starting from the beginning of 2006 for those three, obviously...
