🤣🤣Oh, shut it—it’s always me you guys claim to be off-topic trolling or spamming. Seriously.😍😘

Man, Alonso really stepped up today—just absolute class out there. Who knows what kind of mess the next race is gonna be, though? It could go either way. Either way, we gotta celebrate this one!😍

Anyway... Fernando really stood out today, though who knows how the next race will shake out... we should probably celebrate this!😍

Well, I'm flattered! 😍😍

Edward Howard2 said:It seemed pretty weird to me that Massa went into the pits that early, but I guess it looks like the team gave him orders to just tear into it, so Massa's basically running the race now.

Half-baked strategy, if you ask me. 🙏🙏

Finally, a teammate that a guy like Nando actually deserves. 😍 😁😁😁

lonebison19 said:Just look at Hemićev's reasoning!

Sure, send me the link....

But seriously, I'm not one of those people who’s gonna pray for Hemićev’s car to blow up right now...

Let him drive. If he actually stays ahead of Massa by the end, I'll be the first to give him props, but this whole giving up thing? It’s just a damn shame...

Look, there's a massive difference between hating on Ferrari and Massa and actually looking at how bad things are on the track....
I honestly don't get some of you guys. Like, what kind of logic is that? Praying for a neighbor's cow to die, or wishing for a Ferrari or Mercedes engine to just explode just so your favorite driver can take the win... it's weird.🤷

I don't see how anyone could celebrate a win under these conditions.🤷

cosmicridge5 said:It's such a shame Kubica is missing a few points. If he had them, he could actually threaten the lead in some crazy scenario... that would be fun. 😍

If it wasn't for the FIA's brainless rules, he’d be right in the title fight.😉

Let's be real: Alonso didn't even do anything special, he just got damn lucky—unlike Kubica and Rosberg🙏 🙏 🙏who both got screwed by stupid rules with a stop and go penalty. When you crunch the numbers, they realistically lost about 25-35 seconds during those stops.😢

1 5 Fernando Alonso Renault 61 Winner 15 10
2 7 Nico Rosberg Williams-Toyota 61 +2.9 secs 8 8
3 22 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes 61 +5.9 secs 2 6
4 12 Timo Glock Toyota 61 +8.1 secs 7 5
5 15 Sebastian Vettel STR-Ferrari 61 +10.2 secs 6 4
6 3 Nick Heidfeld BMW Sauber 61 +11.1 secs 9 3
7 9 David Coulthard Red Bull-Renault 61 +16.3 secs 14 2
8 8 Kazuki Nakajima Williams-Toyota 61 +18.4 secs 10 1
9 16 Jenson Button Honda 61 +19.8 secs 12
10 23 Heikki Kovalainen McLaren-Mercedes 61 +26.9 secs 5
11 4 Robert Kubica BMW Sauber 61 +27.9 secs 4
12 14 Sebastien Bourdais STR-Ferrari 61 +29.4 secs 17
13 2 Felipe Massa Ferrari 61 +35.1 secs 1

So the actual standings should be:

Rosberg 🙏🙏 Insane race.👍
Kubica - maybe 3rd, depending on how you factor in that pit stop.
Alonso
Hamilton
Glock
Vettel
Heidfeld
Coulthard

And the tablica would look like this:

Hamilton 83
Massa 77
Kubica 72😢

Auu 😍😍😍

Nicole Reyes97 said:uhhh... I dig your style🍿😂

I guess you're right on that too🤣

But why wouldn't it be🤷 🤣 I mean, I suspect the exact same thing crossed Alons' mind the second they gave him the news about Piquet and the safety car😂

Alons mentioned they were actually planning on sticking to just one pit stop, but they had a total change of heart because those brake issues were looking pretty sketchy.
Hamilton admitted he got stuck right behind DCa since there was basically zero room to make a move—basically, he was playing it safe because it looked terrifying 😁

rustystag7 said:And why exactly should Massa be penalized? Because he happened to be the fastest guy out there? Just because he actually clocked the best pace on track? Give me a break. 🤷

Just a quick reminder: he blew a lead from first place with only two laps left in the race. And today? He lost his spot at the front because his crew pulled a total amateur move. Typical.

It all points to one thing: Massa has been absolutely dominant this season. Honestly, if he doesn't walk away with the championship, it’d be a total injustice.

He did his thing on the track. Whether anyone actually cared or not is another story.

Look, it doesn't matter if he’s the favorite on paper or if people actually like him. When it comes down to a head-to-head fight for the title, Massa wins. He'll crush it in whatever area he actually controls. 🙏

Between the gift-wrapped wins at the green table, the constant disqualifications, penalizing half the grid, and qualifying drama—not to mention a car that seems designed specifically to skirt every rule in the book from the engine up—it’s a joke. ☕

Edward Howard2 said:So, Hamilton was basically saying he got stuck right behind DCa because he just couldn't find a way through... which is really just a polite, driver-speak way of saying he was getting spooked. It’s like when you're driving down a narrow street in Chicago and someone pulls out unexpectedly—suddenly you're gripping the wheel way too tight because you're terrified of a fender bender. He was playing it safe because the pressure was hitting him hard. 😁


Man, did you see that? Ferrari was absolutely crushing it today. It was like watching a powerhouse like Ford just steamroll through everything. Meanwhile, Hamilton? He just wasn't there. He was lagging way too far behind—like, two full seconds off DC's pace. There was just no way he was going to pull off a pass at that speed. Just totally out of the hunt. 🤷

If by some miracle Lewis Hamilton had actually taken the win, we wouldn't just be looking at seven different winners this season; we’d also be celebrating four different drivers clinching their very first victory of the year🙏

stormybadger8 said:Between those handed out wins at the VIP tables, all the disqualifications, throwing penalties at everyone else in the championship, the qualifying drama, and cars that are basically built to skirt the rules from the engine up... ☕

man, help me out here... who exactly are you talking about when you say "them"???
What do you mean by "handed out wins"? We're talking about one controversial victory and losing 4 points. Look, man to man, Lewis Hamilton earned this. If things were actually fair, he would've been penalized again in Monza too, so I don't really get why everyone is getting so worked up...

Listen, guys, Massa is absolutely crushing him in head-to-head matchups. And I’ll say it again: it would be a total sporting injustice if he doesn't become champion, because based on pure track results, he's beaten both Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton....

I mean, sure, rooting for someone is great, and honestly, I wish Fernando Alonso could win every single day, but sometimes things just go sideways like they did today, and expecting a repeat of that is just unrealistic. 🤷

And even if it was just about the car, Kimi Raikkonen would still be fighting for the title right alongside Heikki Kovalainen, but hey, life isn't always a fairy tale, is it?

rustystag7 said:man, did you see how Ferrari totally owned it today? meanwhile, Hamilton wasn't even close—he was like 2 seconds behind DC, no way he was catching him 🤷

well, he finally passed him... once he actually found some guts 😁

honestly, I feel worst for Massa. He got knocked out of the fight through no fault of his own. He totally deserved a 2nd place finish today

rustystag7 said:Look, just help me out here—which "plural" are you even talking about???
What gifts? Please. We're talking about a controversial win and four points lost. Besides, Lewis Hamilton is practically family at this point; he earned it. If they had played it fair in Monza, he would’ve been penalized again anyway, so I don't get why everyone's foaming at the mouth...

Listen, guys, Massa is absolutely destroying him in head-to-head matchups. I'll say it again: it would be a total sporting injustice if he doesn't become champion. On pure track performance, he's beaten both Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton....

Sure, picking favorites is fun. I wish Fernando Alonso won every single day too, but when things go sideways like they did today, it’s just unrealistic.🤷

And even if it were just the car, Kimi would still be fighting for the title alongside Heikki Kovalainen, but hey, life isn't a fairy tale, is it?

Tell me something: is there any Ferrari driver this year who hasn't picked up a penalty besides this mess during the race? And what's the difference between today's spin in front of Sutil and the last one? It's the exact same thing. Just another machine failure in front of Sutil, except for the tiny detail that Massa wasn't even in contention for points today anyway.☕

Now think about it: which top-tier driver from the last two seasons—other than Kimi or Massa—hasn't dealt with some kind of penalty?☕
I think it's pretty obvious. It's ridiculous how they always seem to snag a penalty, whether it's in qualifying or during the race. Lewis Hamilton, Robert Kubica, Nick Heidfeld, Heikki Kovalainen, Nico Rosberg...
Come on, please explain that to me.🤷 🤷

I'm not defending McLaren. I'd do the same for BMW, Williams, Red Bull, Red Bull Racing, Force India, Honda, or Toyota. I'd defend anyone—except Ferrari.

And I'm certain today won't have any impact on Ferrari. If McLaren or BMW had pulled a stunt like this, they'd be banned from at least one race. You simply can't cause a situation more dangerous than what happened in the pits.☕
