Man, just look at how Kimi is driving this year, seriously... if Ferrari had actually gone with him as their number one driver from the jump, they’d be absolutely crushing it at the top of the Drivers' Championship right now.
Tomorrow’s start is basically going to decide everything, and honestly, it would be absolutely legendary if some absolute legend from the back of the pack just flies right past Vettel, or if maybe Bottas or Grosjean just absolutely steamrolls him right out of the way
Richard Walker38 said:Drag Reduction System is total garbage and needs to be scrapped entirely. It completely kills the actual art of racing. Why bother working hard to overtake through the corners when you can just wait for the straightaway, pop the Drag Reduction System open, and the guy defending is basically a sitting duck? You just fly right past him like he’s standing still—job done.
Remember how Ericsson and Hartley were out there at Indianapolis Motor Speedway?
Honestly, I'd rather just slide off the track than try to pass like that.

stormybadger8 said:Hamilton’s definitely going to pull the trigger on that... I mean, let's be real, it was never even a question whether the Polish guys would find it easy to toss Bottas to the curb, so why should it be any different now that Wolf has basically gone public with the whole thing?
Then again, Ferrari might actually want to pull it off, but honestly? I highly doubt they have the slightest clue how to actually make it happen. 🤦 Maybe they’ll actually give it a shot, but let’s be real—these guys are so incredibly clumsy that they’re bound to screw up the timing. They'll probably just end up launching Kimi out there in a way that leaves someone else stuck between him and Vettel, or Vettel will just blow right past him before he even gets a decent chance at a slipstream, making the whole plan a total disaster.
So, word on the street is that Mercedes is actually sitting around thinking about whether they should stick with Bottas as their second driver, which honestly feels like they’re just staring at a blank wall waiting for inspiration to strike or something. You’d think after everything, they'd have a clearer idea of who they want in that seat, but instead, we've got this whole "maybe" situation hanging over them like a bad cloud, and frankly, I'm not holding my breath for any sudden genius moves from the top brass.
