mellowtiger83 said:To summarize, the rule was introduced specifically because of Max Verstappen himself, following complaints from several drivers who claimed he was putting both himself and others at risk. To this day, his approach remains largely unchanged; it is either a collision or no overtake at all—unless someone else decides to be just as uncompromising. And when that happens, Max is always the one pointing the finger.
I have nothing against Max personally, lest anyone misinterpret me; my issue is simply that certain actions seem to slip under the radar.

God, it's unbelievable how much a "prestigious" last name can do for you.
In terms of pure Formula 1 logic, he's the exact equivalent of those entitled kids from the big political dynasties back home in the States—the ones who think they can stumble around drunk, knock people over, or act completely reckless because they know deep down they’ll never face any consequences. They move through life thinking they're untouchable. And honestly, I’m even willing to tolerate them being arrogant about it, just like he is.
6.5 tenths per lap, not too shabby

Look, I know it’s just practice, so maybe it isn't a 100% foolproof indicator of what's coming, but they are clearly picking up the pace. Honestly, I don't think we're looking at an overly intense qualifying session, at least when it comes to pole position
Jack Kelly5 said:They’d absolutely slap the entire grid with half an inch of throttle. Just look at how they’re bullying poor Lando Norris right now.
😬

Oh, they'd slap Max too, that much is certain. And by extension, they'd slap the whole damn field, because he’d be sitting comfortably at the top of the championship standings.
stormybadger8 said:If he had Nico Rosberg sitting in the other garage this season, the guy would have literally slapped him silly by now, and Rosberg would've secured the championship ages ago. ☕

And man, just imagine how different things would look if Daniel Ricciardo had actually stayed at Red Bull Racing...
graniteharbor502 said:That pretty much settles the debate on who’s actually outperforming the field and whose car is superior right now.
And don't even get me started on the mistakes made by a certain Mercedes driver...


Look, I'm talking about how things stand right this second, not some vague seasonal average.
It is blindingly obvious that Red Bull Racing has the fastest car on the grid at this moment, even if Mercedes and Red Bull were neck-and-neck back at the start of the season.
Given that reality, I highly doubt Mercedes—or Lewis Hamilton specifically—can fight for the championship and turn things around in these final few races, especially not with Red Bull running this hot right now.
Sam Clark75 said:I’m expecting Red Bull to just dominate this track while Mercedes slowly fades away as we head toward the end of the season. But hey, who knows...

I’m right there with you. Mercedes is still showing some signs of life, but let's be honest—it's purely down to Lewis Hamilton's sheer talent at this point. Red Bull is clearly the superior machine. I don't see any realistic way for Mercedes or Lewis Hamilton to snatch the championship this year, unless we witness some sort of unprecedented, total meltdown from Red Bull Racing.
graniteharbor502 said:Nice try. Maybe work on making your jokes actually funny next time. 🕺

You're just mixing trolling with facts.

Fact 1: Ricciardo is, at the very least, a solid driver.
Fact 2: Ricciardo is a better driver than Max Verstappen.

You just have to look at the facts objectively. That’s really all there is to it.
graniteharbor502 said:Then it's a lock—they've practically secured pole position for Red Bull Racing. 😁

Considering the absolute rocket ship they’ve built over at Red Bull Racing, anything other than this outcome would have been nothing short of a miracle.
What on earth would have happened if someone actually competent was behind the wheel of that rocket? I’m talking about a driver like Daniel Ricciardo. Honestly, I’m almost afraid to even think about it—if he had been driving that car, the season would probably be wrapped up and over by now.

graniteharbor502 said:In contrast to Mercedes, where the team is also almost entirely dedicated to supporting a single driver,🙄

Perez occasionally struggles just to make it into Q2, while his teammate is busy collecting PP wins. Meanwhile, the Mercedes drivers seem to cruise into the top two spots during qualifying without much effort at all.

So, basically, he's just an average driver.
With a car like that, even Mazepin would have been sitting comfortably in 4th place.
vividwalker13 said:I honestly couldn't wrap my head around Vettel back during his Red Bull Racing days, but now? He’s become one of my absolute favorites. The guy is just incredibly grounded, and his technical knowledge—both on the track and off—is massive.
When he finally hangs up the helmet, I can't imagine anyone being a better successor to Warwick :-) sam here.

I'm right there with you.

The guy is genuinely sincere and actually funny, which is a rare combination to find these days.

I see we still have people out there who actually believe Valtteri Bottas caused that collision on purpose. Seriously? It’s the same old tired narrative from the same group of people.

Jason Campbell70 said:Ricciardo absolutely demolished him during his time at Red Bull back in 2014.
Even though Ricciardo was just getting settled into the seat that year, and even though he was technically brought in as the number two driver.

Hmm, fair enough—you've got me there. I completely overlooked that.

stormybadger8 said:This thing would probably get him up to optimal temperature in a heartbeat. 😁

You have to take it slow with this stuff. If you go too hard, you’ll end up burning him out, and then we're right back where we started—nothing working properly. 😁
This setup cranks the heat from zero to a hundred in about 2.4 seconds. It takes roughly that same amount of time just to get it assembled. 🙂

Well, there you have it. We’ve finally cracked the case 😁

Basically, putting a woman in charge at Ferrari is a recipe for a total disaster.

My advice? A quick list for you all: stop buying Ferrari just to impress your girlfriends.

ruggedhawk20 said:What piece are you talking about!?

Sebastian Vettel is a family man. He's got a wife and a few kids back home.

At this rate, I think his kids are going to be the ones to wear him out.

If he's spending all day running around chasing them through the backyard, honestly, it’s no wonder he's exhausted.

I know, I was referring to his wife—that "piece" of a woman.
To me, these mistakes don't look like simple fatigue; it feels more like something is actually wrong up there, though I can't quite put my finger on what the root cause is.

Jason Campbell70 said:Just lacks driving skill.

I don't know, I wouldn't say it's just that. He had some really solid, consistent runs under his belt—not even counting that Red Bull era. It feels like such a sudden, drastic collapse. Maybe it's the pressure? Ferrari absolutely destroyed him. 🙂

Anyway, it's a shame he threw those points away. I'd love to see more drivers with at least a shred of actual personality, rather than these Kenovas who have zero presence.

I have to admit, I really feel for Sebastian.
He’s such a genuine, upbeat, and funny guy—something you just don't see much of in F1 anymore. Nowadays, it feels like everyone is just reciting the same tired scripts: "It was a tough weekend," or "Thanks to the factory for the hard work." He’s one of those rare ones who almost always manages to drop a joke or some witty sarcasm, and honestly, I love that about him.

At the same time, I can't quite pin down what caused such a massive slump in his career. Maybe it was just issues with his equipment making it impossible to stay focused? It reminds me a bit of how Lewis struggled back when he was caught up in that whole mess with that terrible singer.

Jason Campbell70 said:I woke up this morning to a freezing -8 degrees.
Fast forward to late this afternoon and we're hitting +6.
Right now? It's sitting at +8.

Life is good.

Onward.

Once it hits +8, you can actually feel the warmth in your soul.

Jason Campbell70 said:I’m completely fed up with this race. Instead of witnessing a heavyweight showdown between the two best drivers on the grid today, we spent 70 grueling laps watching Esteban Ocon and Sebastian Vettel just aimlessly circling the track without even a hint of an overtake attempt.

Well, that’s exactly what we got, and frankly, it’s a damn shame it only lasted about ten laps. Even in that tiny window, Lewis Hamilton (once again) proved he’s simply operating on a different level than Fernando Alonso.
2021 Canadian GP: July 30 - Aug 1 in Formula 1 ·
What a hell of a race.

Big shoutout to Esteban Ocon, but honestly, hats off to Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton too. That duel between those two was absolutely legendary—pure cinematic gold on the track.

Lewis clawed his way from 14th all the way up to 3rd.
Max fought through the pack from 12th to grab a solid 10th.

And then you have the critics claiming overtaking is dead. Give me a break.
