Even if Lauda had managed to pull off that same feat two years after winning the title—which he absolutely didn't—he would have still done more than Fernando, despite how much you all seem to worship him... I don't even want to imagine who people would have blamed if Alonso had been behind the wheel of a Ferrari like Kimi's was back in 2009...

Man, just explain it...

I'm not buying it.
That logic only works if you're counting trophies and nothing else.
But that’s not how I see things.
I'll write up a longer response later.

I have a feeling the phrase "this ridiculous competition" was actually picked up from the football subforum...😁 It feels to me like this all really started with that little bit of back-and-forth right there on the Real-Barac line—just some unnecessary tension at the start.😁

I agree—it’s definitely worth highlighting! 🤣
I honestly think there’s a massive connection here to the team dynamic and the overall vibe—you know? It feels like Lotus has this much more relaxed atmosphere, where they aren't constantly being squeezed by endless sponsor obligations and all that corporate noise. My gut feeling is that at Ferrari, he just felt incredibly frustrated—it really seemed like he was constantly battling against the organization itself.🙂

Regarding Boldt... I have to agree with you there. Having drivers like Alonso and Seb on the grid is definitely an advantage—but let’s be honest, that’s only because their budgets and development resources are leagues ahead of what Lotus is working with. It's a different ballgame when you're comparing those massive operations to a team like Lotus.

But we aren't giving up just yet...🙂

That’s exactly where my head is at. Honestly, Lotus is the only outfit on the grid right now that can actually hand him a decent car while giving him enough breathing room to escape all the sheer nonsense that gets under Kimi's skin. It's always the same kind of mindless, technical bullshit that has absolutely nothing to do with actual driving. 😬

Assuming there’s no white flag being waved, we fight until the very end. The next target? We set our sights on Bahrain. 🙂

Hey guys, I need a little favor... does anyone know where I can find a clip of Hulk's overtake on Vettel from the very beginning? I just can't track down the specific part showing exactly how much Vettel was being shoved off the track and how far Hulk actually went wide. There's this huge cloud of dust, but the video I stumbled upon only starts right after that moment happens.
