It would be ideal if Max just squeezed Lewis out while he’s making that move to overtake.

Honestly, the guy has had more luck than brains his whole career, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he pulls it off again today.

Haha! Way to go, Valtteri Bottas—that’s exactly how you earn yourself a new contract.

The amateurs over at Red Bull, along with that clumsy Horner, are basically asking for a beatdown from Mercedes and Hamilton for the rest of the season. It’s pretty obvious they aren't even close to being title contenders, even when they actually have the faster car on the grid.

Look, I don't know if everyone's been living under a rock lately, but this is exactly how championships are won. This is how Senna took it in 1990, how Schumacher did it in 1994... I won't even list them all, but man, I am just so pumped that we're finally going to see a real, legitimate fight for the title after all these years.

The GOAT takes the win once again. Maximilian ended up in the barriers, Sebastian Vettel got spun out fighting Fernando Alonso, and Kimi Raikkonen lost his footing too... everything is right with the world again.

The absolute worst F1 driver.

Racing incident, Max got the short end of the stick, on to the next one...

It just doesn't make sense; doing this completely strips away the stakes and the excitement from both qualifying and the race itself.

The guy's such an egomaniac he's basically praying to himself—look at that "altar," it's just his helmet sitting right there in front of him. That photo tells you everything you need to know. Total Narcissus, head over heels for his own reflection. So yeah, he's just worshipping himself.

At least if he prays to himself, someone is actually listening...

ruggedhawk20 said:You're just talking nonsense. P...You're forgetting that Red Bull was the only team besides Mercedes-Benz to actually snatch a win during that first hybrid era season back in 2014. They pulled it off despite having a total disaster of a Renault engine that was constantly overheating, breaking down, and just lacked the raw power needed...

Everyone knew during the hybrid era that Mercedes-Benz had the superior engine—I mean, there was a time when a Williams could sneak into the top three just because of that power unit. Back then, you’d see people on the forums constantly arguing, "So what if Red Bull Racing uses a Mercedes engine? Who cares?" Well, look at them now. They've actually managed to build an engine that outperforms Mercedes-Benz, and the results speak for themselves. We are looking at a completely dominant car. It feels exactly like being back in 2011 or 2013...

Newey is hands down the best designer out there. Mercedes-Benz is being designed by a computer, a robot, some kind of artificial idiot, not a real person...

Newey is the last true designer left. I mean, the guy designed a car that won the Indy 500 and secured a championship title when he was only 26 years old...

At just 26 years old! While other guys his age are still struggling to get their lives together, this guy is out here designing championship-winning cars...

That’s coming from the same guy who claimed back during the 2014 pre-season tests that he could just tell by the sound alone that Renault had the best torque and, therefore, the best engine...

ruggedhawk20 said:Exactly. Instead of just enjoying the mastery of JARC for one more season, how many of us decided to "bless" ourselves with his God-given talent? What did you guys decide to do instead!? You decided to hate. Because hating is obviously way easier than actually enjoying the show.

The kind of masterclasses we’re seeing lately are right up there with Prost at Adelaide 1986, Senna in Donington 1993, Schumacher at Spa Francorchamps 1995, Villeneuve at Indianapolis 1995, or Vettel at Interlagos 2012....

Basically, this guy is treating us to extraordinary performances on track and genuinely improving our quality of life—watching him gives you an instant boost of endorphins, serotonin, and adrenaline. But instead of saying, "Thanks, Lewis, for deciding to grace us with another season," you all just sit there hating and hating. For whatever mysterious reasons. Some of you can't accept that he passed Senna, some can't handle that he's better than Vettel and Prost, and others just can't stomach that he's better than MSC. And then there are those who just don't like his fashion sense.

Shame on you.

Yeah, sure, because Vettel at Interlagos is definitely something he should be proud of—he basically just had an insane amount of luck in that race and nothing more.

Clueless Croft actually managed to say Michael Schumacher, and senile Brundle didn't even bother correcting him—what a couple of idiots.

Shouldn't Hamilton have been penalized for driving in reverse on the track?

It’s going to be a standing start, so we’re looking at a whole new shuffle of the deck.

The first section of the track is still soaked while the rest is bone dry, so we’ll likely see a start on intermediates followed by a steady transition over to slicks.

Red Bull really should have two drivers at the front to actually challenge Mercedes strategically. Considering Valtteri Bottas just finished eighth while they grabbed second and third (on different tire compounds), they could realistically take down Lewis easily tomorrow. The issue is that Sergio Perez tends to get caught up in his own thing; he isn't exactly the ultimate team player, and he likely still harbors those world championship ambitions he was talking about back in 2013 when he joined McLaren—though we all remember how intense his battles with Jenson Button were that season. All in all, I’m genuinely curious to see if that showdown between them actually happens tomorrow.

It seems a bit harsh on Lando Norris; if things had gone differently, Max Verstappen would have likely just finished fourth. Regardless, Lewis Hamilton is expected to take that spot routinely tomorrow. The Japanese driver once again demonstrated top-tier driving skills, while Nikita Mazepin, at least unlike him, didn't wreck his car, which is a win in itself.

That whole driver deception in Japan was something else... This is the kind of track that separates the boys from the men.

bluepuma9 said:It's way too early to start passing judgment. One bad race where he was handicapped by a penalty from the jump doesn't mean much. Give him five races; if he isn't beating Lance Stroll by then, his reputation is going to take a serious hit...

You don't need to be Nostradamus to see this coming. Right now, Aston Martin is basically a 7th or 8th place car on the grid, so simple math tells me Sebastian Vettel will mostly be fighting for 13th or 14th place this year. On a good day, if a few drivers in faster cars drop out, he might snag a point, but that’s about it. Unfortunately, the same goes for Fernando Alonso.
