First off, Ralf Schumacher-Williams, I can't quite pin down the exact year, but my gut tells me it was 2001. As for Fernando Alonso-Renault-McLaren-Renault, I definitely remember him from those 2003 Malaysian GP qualifying sessions—that’s burned into my brain. Honestly, by the end of 2002, I wasn't exactly feeling the Ralf hype anymore, and everything really shifted during that first 2003 Australian GP. Ralf finished eighth, while "some guy" named Alonso was right there ahead of him. I distinctly remember catching the next qualifying session on ESPN, cheering like crazy for this newcomer who somehow snatched pole position. I felt like I'd been his die-hard supporter for decades after that one moment.
Ralf Schumacher-Williams 2001-2003. Fernando Alonso-Renault-McLaren-Renault 2003-forever.
If I were calling the shots, it’d look a bit like this: the car—a Renault the drivers—Lewis Hamilton and Logan Sargeant the boss—Flavio Briatore the rest of the crew: Adrian Newey, Gene Haas, Mary Barra, Michael Jordan, Gordon Murray, and Christian Horner
Come on guys, don't let me down here. I actually put my money on you lot, and honestly, finding 3.00 odds like this doesn't happen every day, so let's get it done!
Unlike Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg is actually stepping up and claiming that the penalty he picked up for that pit lane mess during Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix was totally deserved.
Just to recap, the FIA is dropping both Hamilton and Rosberg ten spots back from wherever they qualify for the French Grand Prix because of that sloppy driving.
According to The New York Times, Rosberg isn't sugarcoating it: "I think I deserve the penalty, just like Hamilton. He didn't slow down, and neither did I, so we're both stuck with the same fate."
"I missed the red light, plain and simple, so of course there's a penalty. I messed up."
"Look, if Hamilton had slowed down, I would've had a much better chance at figuring out what was happening. But instead, he kept charging along and then suddenly slammed into... (well, Raikkonen's Ferrari, oops)
Speaking to Motorline, Rosberg pointed out that having cars just sitting there at the end of the pit lane is definitely not standard procedure. "In my entire career, I've never even thought to look at the signal when exiting the pits."
He also thinks this penalty basically nukes his chances for the French Grand Prix. "I might as well forget about Indianapolis Motor Speedway since I'll probably be starting somewhere around eighteenth or nineteenth."
it just goes to show that Rosberg is the kind of guy who can actually own up to his mistakes, which honestly makes him look like a bigger man than Hamilton, even though if you ask me, Hamilton is the one more at fault here
Robert Reed5 said:I honestly feel like the car handles the much more sharply when it comes to 124 miles, rather than just picking up speed from 50 miles
Look, if you ask me, the response time is definitely faster 👍
Hamilton is totally at fault and that's that—everyone saw it happen except for him. Now he’s trying to pull this nonsense where he blames Raikkonen just because he was standing next to the side of the Mercedes instead of directly behind it. Honestly, he has every right to stand wherever he was standing since there aren't even any rules telling him otherwise. You always, and I mean always, keep your eyes glued to that light! his stupid excuses are🤮
Look, I only said one single time that Kubica was going to take the win, and I said it before this race even started, so nobody can come at me and claim I've got zero foresight. 🙏, And honestly, his brother Robert is definitely next in line too
Honestly, I don't even care who was where on the exit line, what really matters is how some absolute moron managed to slam right into Raikkonen like that.🙄
