And honestly? Good. They should step up and fight like adults instead of whining behind everyone's backs...

cosmiccyclist8 said:based on how he reacted during that dream sequence, I actually thought he was lapping him for a full circuit 😁

Yeah, exactly. He’s got a massive ego... Honestly, the guy acts like he's been hand-picked by Bog himself, expecting everyone to just clear the way when he shows up. But Mag really put him in his place. Just absolutely dismantled him. It was a total masterclass. You have to respect that kind of driving, especially considering he's out there in an inferior car compared to the Ferrari.

gentlebear47 said:It looks like Lewis got a quick lesson in PR before even stepping out in front of the cameras ☕ just some spinning about how much the team has lost lately and all that.

So there it is. It’s bad luck, or a higher power, or maybe just a conspiracy by the global elite, Red Bull Racing, Sebastian Vettel, and those other cosmic forces that exist far beyond the reach of ordinary people... The absolute...😁

Michael Diaz4 said:Oh, absolutely, you hit the nail on the head... The guy truly believes he’s some kind of deity, acting like everyone needs to clear a path whenever he shows up... But man, Mag really put him in his place. Just completely dismantled him, and did it with such style, too! You have to hand it to him, though—pulling off a drive like that while stuck in a car that's clearly inferior to a Ferrari... it was something else.

I have to say, your clumsy little venomous post actually gave me a good laugh.🤣

Drew Bennett68 said:That was a pretty clumsy and toxic post you put out there. You actually made me laugh.🤣

But honestly, seeing how arrogant he is and how much he complains whenever someone squeezes him in a corner... this was just textbook proof of his true character. It shows just how overrated and fundamentally mediocre of a driver he really is.☕

Michael Diaz4 said:Unknown, this finally brought them back down to earth—especially Bottas, Vettel, and Kimi (what was that joke again about the "Finnish fraud"?)

Brought them back down to earth?

😂

This is the first and only time all season that the "Finnish fraud" actually finished ahead of the Maestro.

And that’s only because the Maestro finished serving his penalty.

Michael Diaz4 said:And what about Alonso (how you guys call him, the Maestro...😁)? Everyone has been picking on him, just absolutely everyone... If someone didn't go after him, they certainly gave him a hard time today...

Patrick Bailey4 said:🤣🤣
Did we all miss the race?

The Maestro put in another solid drive; if it weren't for the team's usual nonsense, he’d be fighting for the podium again. It's the same old story where one driver is stuck fighting for 5th through 9th while his teammate cruises to victory, etc., standard screw-ups and unfairness. 🤷

Let's try reading a bit more carefully and spend less time trolling and hating.

And that’s only because Maestro had to serve his penalty.

But why don't you ask yourself how he even earned that penalty in the first place...?😉 He's an overrated driver, plain and simple. I'm not saying he's talentless out of nowhere—he struggles in the corners, and the moment people don't move out of his way, he starts throwing a tantrum. Just be like Kimi, Vettel, or even Nico Rosberg. Take your chances and earn them instead of waving your arms around, whining, and making threats... A mediocre, overrated driver. You could see it through the entire race.

Look, everyone has every right to cheer for their favorite driver and follow them through every race. But when you show up just to spread hate, that’s honestly just pathetic.

Patrick Bailey4 said:Maybe read a little more carefully and spend less time trolling and hating.

Right, because Vettel just drove right past him without even noticing, and Jenson Button and the rest did the same thing... They must have been charmed by him... And then there's Valtteri Bottas... Well, once Jenson Button crossed the line, it was pretty obvious how he actually performed...

Jason Campbell70 said:Finally grounded?

I guess this might be the first and only race this season where that Finnish fraud actually finished ahead of Maestro.

And that’s even after Maestro served his penalty.

If I remember right, Kimi was the first one called into the pits, and he was less than a second behind the Santander car before the call. After the penalty was over, he basically left the whole grid in the dust, just absolutely shredding Alonso.

It’s always easy to play armchair general after the race is over and claim that Maestro didn't really shine today. But here’s the reality: before that penalty hit, he was actually ahead of Kimi. Since Kimi ended up taking fourth, we’re left guessing where he would've landed if he hadn't been slapped with a penalty he didn't even cause. Would he have just scraped fourth, or could he have grabbed third on the podium? That penalty totally messed with his rhythm and completely tanked his final result. Honestly, without having to fight off Magnus, Baton, and those total frauds at the end, he probably would've been way further up the pack, fighting Valtteri Bottas for a spot on the podium instead...

I found that one specific turn interesting—the one where they kept trying to dive down the outside. It clearly looked like a golden opportunity to them, but they just kept running wide—first Button, then Alonso, maybe a few others too.

Since Kimi finished fourth, we’ll never truly know where he would have landed if it weren't for that penalty—a penalty he didn't cause and isn't even responsible for. Would he have just taken fourth, or would he have been up there on the podium in third? That penalty completely dictated his race rhythm and tanked his final result. He wouldn't have even been fighting with Verstappen, Perez, or Leclerc at the end; he probably would've been right there ahead of Kimi, battling Bottas for a spot on the podium...

What...? Not his fault...? Of course he's at fault. It's classic Alonso logic... It's always someone else's problem. Kimi proved he's in a league of his own and five times better than Alonso; it's just a matter of whether the car holds up. When everything is running smoothly and there are no excuses, Kimi has to be the one outperforming him...
