Oh god.. It's Di Resta.
Let's see how he gets the digs in at Hamilton and Mercedes this time...
Ah someone else noticed then how much of a bias that guy has. It's really becoming less of a thing to have professional pundits these days throughout sport generally. The new norm seems not to hold back on your personal preferences towards teams and individuals. We see it with football as well. You can clearly tell the pros from the riff raff. Whilst I like some of the things they have said in the past and their personalities, you can clearly tell the bias in people like Webber, Di Resta, Coulthard etc. I was actually pleasantly surprised how well Rosberg spoke fairly when he has been on given his past Schumacher like behaviour to win at any cost.
Speaking of which, perhaps Max will be looked back on in years to come as another Schumacher. Massively fast, but would cheat to win. I think a lot of drivers grow up to behave in this way as to some extent the line between pushing yourself to win however possible vs fairly is very fine to go far in the sport.
But then you look at Hamilton.... he is the GOAT, yet one of the cleanest driving champions you will ever see so it doesn't need to be this way.
I highly doubt it now Honda have pulled out. Plus major rule changes you might as well put your hand in a hat to guess who will be top. You have just as much chance Mclaren and Ferrari being at the top as you do RB and Mercedes.
I read that Redbull have bought all the rights and legalities to keep all the engine development stuff and will continue to produce their own version of it. I also read in some article that the reason theirs does not wear like the Mercs is due to a specialist oil that Honda and Redbull had produced to work in unison with their engines to prevent as much deg. Not sure how true that is.
They don't need the camera as they have the telemetry from the steering wheel angles in relation to the cars position on the track, and much more. Look Lewis won, he had the fastest car by some 20kph so it was inevitable he would overtake everyone in front of him. It was only Max who put up a 'spirited' defence, all others just threw in the towel so just let them race and forget the media politics..
No. No way. This weekend was a major, major statement from the FIA. It has massive implications and can not be let go just because Lewis did end up eventually winning. Remember in the stewards and FIA's own words, they have to look at each incident literally and not base it on any outcome. If rules are rules - you know, like the 0.2mm ruthless rear wing saga - then the rules need to be applied also to Max when he drives dirty deliberately. A dangerous president is set each time the FIA fail to punish dangerous and deliverate dirty driving like that. He should be penalised.
Christian coming on the live radio telling them it's all about letting them race was possibly the cringiest moment of the entire weekend. They like to get the first word in to try to use their power to help bully the FIA and stewards and minipulate their decisions. Such radio messaging should be banned as they are using it as a public platform to air their views of live incidents which can affect the outcome. This should be banned from happening. All teams should be banned from abusing that.
The weaving and aggressive, dirty driving by Max, and the behaviour and interviews by CH just sumup Redbull in a nutshell. A toxic team. CH constantly tries to play down Merc winning by saying they expected it. Can't stand the weasel.
When Hamilton overtook him finally it was a very sweet moment. If he wins the remaining three races, it doesn't matter if Max gets second with fastest laps. Hamilton wins. Bring. It. On.
