Poll: Bahrain Grand Prix 2022 - Race 1

[Tigget]

Did RB do something wrong in qualifying to justify the amount of whinging going on in this thread or are people just perma butthurt about last year?

No it’s just standard on OCUK, it’s why I lurked for years, hard to have a sensible conversation. Same as Locky calling people bigots if they support Max, when Locky is one of the most disgusting racists I’ve ever had the displeasure of speaking to on discord (as many will attest to who spent time on the old OCUK discord playing PUBG).

Russell completely missed the first corner, and lost half a second in just that sector.

Oh i see.
Surprising that lewis lost a couple of tenths from Q2.

I had to turn off as soon as I heard Coulthard, cant stand him.

RBR are just a horrible toxic stain on F1, have been for years. I actually really liked them the first couple of seasons, when they took over the Jag/Stewart, but my opinion of them very quickly soured, and has only gotten worse over the years.

 

[Entai]

Coulthard:"you must be dissapointed Mercedes are off the pace"

Max : "very, very" walking away with a big sarcastic grin.

 

[cuke2u]

They've been perma butt hurt for quite a few months non-stop. doesn't matter what thread it is.

Just kids, it'll be their bedtime soon...

 

[Bald-Eagle22]

It’s always the car, have you never watched F1?

Not according to all the Lulu fans on here’s it’s not .

 

[Kelt]

Great to see someone other than Mercedes at the top.

Should be an entertaining season.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

I don't think Verstappen will be able to force Leclerc and Sainz to yield. Will be interesting.

Same. It’s different when you know you’re slower than the guy racing up behind you. Now they are seemingly on a par performance wise I think they’ll put up a fight.

 

[Bald-Eagle22]

It is always the car.

You think Leclerc is on pole because he is the best driver??

My point exactly, tell all the GOAT fans .

If you put frankie detori on a donkey he’s not going to win the national no matter how good a jockey he is, Lewis is the most consistent driver in F1

Thats one hell of a chip you are carrying around on your shoulder!

 

[el_dazza]

I'm quite surprised Aston are looking like the worst team overall atm. @Feek are you glad you got your stake back on Vettel

 

[iamtheoneneo]

So Mercedes weren't actually lying for once.
I guess if you cry wolf enough it really does come to bite you on the ass.

Happy for ferrari.

 

[Feek]

@el_dazza Aye, very surprised. I won’t say glad, just lucky. And disappointed really.

 

[Freakbro]

I've never really been a Lewis fan but his driving skill is undeniably immense and I'd say he's one of the greatest drivers.

 

[the wopster]

I see this as flawed logic to be honest.

It’s akin to me saying where was Leclerc before today? It must be the car today and not the driver

He’s ignorant mate, plain and simple

 

[Feek]

Poor George, you can see he’s devastated.

It unfortunately riles some people up. Not sure why, especially given most of us here are British.

 

[fez]

Car is 95% and the driver the last 5%. Some cars suit certain driver more which makes the apparent skill gap larger than it is in reality.

It’s borderline pointless to have a heated discussion about who the best drivers are when the car is so overwhelmingly the MVP.

 

[Feek]

Here we go with the Nazi accusations again . Well I’ll be that Nazi , the grammar Nazi - it’s Goodwin’s not Godwin’s !

So says the person who puts spaces before punctuation all the time

 

[Scam]

My point exactly, tell all the GOAT fans .

If you can prove via cold hard statistics why Lewis *isn’t* the GOAT we’ll all shut up.

…




… We’re waiting.

I'd say its 99% and 1% (amongst professional racing drivers). The thing some people don't get is that in F1 the 1% is what differentiates championship winners.

 

[Jono8]

Hamilton to win championship whilst Leclerc and Max punt each other off the track every race

Lewis is, by any measurable statistic the GOAT.
