2021 Canadian GP: July 30 - Aug 1

But I'm waiting to see if he stays vocal when he's at "other" races too. 🙂
Maybe there's actually some integrity there—even if right now he just looks like a total clout chaser.

If you're talking about Saudi Arabia, Vettel doesn't have a single thing to worry about. He'll get a pass for anything.

The guy’s been spreading their propaganda for ages without even realizing it himself.

goldenranger6 said:Your take—and honestly, your whole philosophy here—is just painful to read.
The moment things don't go his way, he starts whining. It’s as if he thinks Alonso should just pull over so he can charge ahead unimpeded. He probably assumes everyone else is stuck in the slow lane like Bottas, expecting them to clear out the second he complains. And when that doesn't work? Then we turn to the stewards to fix it for him.

For a multi-time champion, that kind of attitude just isn't right.

I know you're skeptical, but I'm certain Lewis actually enjoyed that battle with Alonso. He didn't ask anyone to move an inch.
He even mentioned in the post-race press conference how much he appreciated Ocon's win—it goes to show that these drivers love to hunt each other down and fight for position rather than just cruising to a victory. Everyone complains on the radio—Alonso, Vettel, Max, the whole lot—but you shouldn't interpret it the way you are.
Even Michael Schumacher or Ayrton Senna would have said the exact same thing if they were behind the wheel today. The directors just play whatever team radio snippet they choose, but let's be real: everyone vents about every little thing. That's just racing.

silverviper44 said:The influencers are tripping again—honestly, some people have way too much luck for it to be natural.

So, what—now Max has an extra point too, right? And everyone who was trailing behind Vettel...

But no, clearly it’s just a massive conspiracy to make sure Lujo nets a few more points, haha.

analogpilot16 said:So what, Max has one more point now, right? And everyone who was behind Vettel...

Nah, it’s just a massive conspiracy to squeeze an extra point out of Lujo—lol.

Seriously, go look up how the current Formula 1 points system actually works before you embarrass yourself like this.

The gap between second and third is 18-15=3.
The gap between ninth and tenth is 2-1=1.

So basically, by disqualifying Vettel, Lewis walked away with 3-1=2 more points than Max did.

Anyone get why they play that crowd noise whenever Lewis pulls an overtake? Is that just some Sky Sports bias—or is it just some Russian Troll messing with our stream?

ruggedhawk20 said:Does anyone actually get what's going on with that crowd noise whenever Lewis overtakes someone? I can't tell if it's just Sky Sports being biased or if it's some weird thing from the Russian Troll who provided our stream...

The Russian Troll was really only responsible for the anthem playing on the podium 🤣... honestly, I even thought they might have missed a beat there... and as for the fans, you could hear that same "OOOOHH" reaction when Max passed Micka, so I feel like people are being a bit too selective about what they notice here... there are just so many illogical conspiracy theories floating around to read through... I'm just saying...

Jason Campbell70 said:Even if it means that Finnish driver Rajkonen nearly pulled off a podium finish, which leaves me feeling somewhat conflicted. 🙂 😢

It’s rare that I actually find myself laughing at troll posts, but this one was quite good... 🙂

ruggedhawk20 said:What was the reason for his disqualification?

He got DQ'd because the idiots over at Aston Martin clearly didn't put enough fuel in the car or failed to manage consumption properly... just amateur hour.
I actually liked the F1 crew, but this Aston Martin team acts like they recruited a bunch of clowns from Ferrari...

First off, their strategy was a total mess.
Thanks to Nicholas Latifi, Sebastian Vettel had a massive gap ahead of Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso, and the rest of them...
At one point, he could have pitted and still pulled ahead of Alonso if the pit stop hadn't been such a disaster (unlike the delay they suffered during the actual stop 😳). He would've cruised past Esteban Ocon too, since the undercut was lethal at Indianapolis Motor Speedway...
They botched his stop by about a second, after already being two seconds late before that... but man, he drove an incredible in-lap and out-lap. By the time Ocon exited the pits, Vettel was right on his tail and almost blew past him...
If he’d gone in when the gap was 0.5-1 second and things had gone smoothly, there's no way Ocon could have covered that...

The reality was that if Aston Martin had any clue how to strategize, he should have pitted right after Nicholas Latifi came in and they realized the rest of the field was falling apart.
Aston Martin probably had the pace to beat Alpine, but not enough to make moves on track without getting aggressive...
On the flip side, Nicholas Latifi was basically acting as a shield against the guys behind him. As soon as Nicholas Latifi cleared out, Carlos Sainz was flying—about 1.5-2 seconds faster per lap than Ocon and Vettel—and caught up to them in no time...
They even looked nervous about Carlos Sainz coming out of the pits because the service was so slow. Just a few laps before Nicholas Latifi pitted, the gap between Vettel and Carlos Sainz was 16 seconds, while he was nearly 20 seconds ahead of Alonso 🤦

Then there's the whole fuel screw-up...
How the hell are you supposed to know how much fuel you have left? Even if you'd backed off for Lewis Hamilton—which you definitely should have done in the last couple of laps—
you still would've cruised into a podium spot for third. Instead, you messed up everything in a row and walked away empty-handed...
Even though you were incredibly lucky with that start and should have milked it for all it was worth.

Now the clowns are complaining about third place 🤦
Who the hell is actually complaining? The penalty is crystal clear, and no amount of whining changes anything. You were required to show a minimum of one liter of fuel left in the car. You couldn't do it, so what's the point of complaining? What exactly are you going to argue?
Even if you somehow tore the car apart and squeezed an extra liter out of it, it wouldn't matter. You're supposed to extract that fuel through the standard systems after the race, not by dismantling the car and praying for a miracle...

I mean, you could probably squeeze another couple of ounces out of whatever filter you're using—plus there’s easily another few ounces sitting right there in the pipes.

Your subconscious is clearly full of absolute garbage.

Jacob Castillo70 said:Lewis Hamilton looked rough at that trophy ceremony—like he could barely even stay upright.

The fact that a guy still struggling with the aftermath of COVID-19 can win in that car just shows how much of a beast the Mercedes-Benz actually is.

If Nandač was just sitting in that car—not even driving, just sitting there—he’d probably be 100 points ahead of second place already.

ruggedhawk20 said:The Mercedes is so dominant—I mean, you can tell because even someone still struggling with the aftermath of COVID-19 can hop in that car and take the win.

If Nandač was just sitting in that car—not even driving, just sitting there—he’d probably be 100 points ahead of second place by now.

Man, don't you see? If Valtteri Bottas were the one sitting in it, that thing would basically be a rolling trash can. 😬

Anthony Baker84 said:Good grief—can't you see if Valtteri Bottas is behind the wheel, that car is basically just a glorified trash can. 😬

Bottas isn't even a driver—he's a walking disaster zone.

Wait, wasn't there some talk about how Black Americans were dealing with more issues regarding COVID-19?

silverviper44 said:Some influencers are just riding an insane wave of luck lately. It’s honestly unreal how much things are swinging in their favor.

It feels like Mercedes has this endless streak of good fortune. It all kicked off when Max had that tire blowout in the US. Then Goodyear brought out new compounds that seem perfectly tuned for the Mercedes-Benz. It’s almost eerie. Since those tires showed up at the World Championship, Max has been complaining about a total lack of grip. 🙂

Max doesn't stand a chance at winning the title this year. Everything has shifted toward Lewis Hamilton.

Winning a championship requires more than just skill; you need a bit of luck to align perfectly. Lewis had a dominant car for years, and even now, when the competition is actually close, everything still seems to tilt his way.

btw what's the deal with this forum—it keeps adding bolding in weird spots or maybe I'm just losing my mind.

Anthony Baker84 said:Wait, wasn't everyone saying Black people were getting hit harder by COVID-19?

Lewis isn't even Black—he's mixed.

They were absolutely mashing that car

Jason Campbell70 said:Woke up this morning to -8 degrees.
By late afternoon it was +6.
Now it's +8.

Life is good.

Moving on.

It's not +8 anymore, back down to +6.🤣

They gave Sebastian Vettel 2nd place back today...
https://www.formula1.com/en/results....ce-result.html

It's just temporary until they decide on the appeal... then they'll almost certainly disqualify him again.
Never heard of a penalty working like this before—you disqualify someone, then automatically bump them back to where they finished while the appeal processes, then disqualify them all over again once the appeal fails...🤔

What kind of mess is that?

Basically, a total clown show of an organization.😂
Rewriting race results multiple times in a single 24-hour window.😵 🤦

ruggedhawk20 said:Bottas isn't even a driver, he's a walking disaster

Bottas is the GWOAT 😁
They should just call him the Finnish kamikaze...

Though "Crash Specialist" wouldn't be a bad fit either. 🤣
