Motorsport Off Topic Thread

What about:

Max> Merc
George> Williams
Sainz> Red Bull.

No rhyme or reason, just something I was thinking about!

Source? I don't recall this. Who are these Max fans saying Lewis wasn't loyal? Lewis had to endure a rubbish Mercedes for 2022, 2023, and a likely poor 2024 before he was to move to Ferrari. Whilst some might say it was a pointless side move. I'm not sure how any 'max fans' would say it's disloyal??

Same. I do recall Mercedes didn't follow Lewis' advice that the design direction was fundamentally flawed probably played a major factor in his move to Ferrari.

That sounds a bit made up - he suffered with Merc for 3 years before moving and he likely wouldn't have received better offers elsewhere. The main criticism, which I still agree with, is that it wasn't worth replacing Carlos. Unless something changes next year, this is going to be a huge waste of money for Ferrari.

Almost in a similar tone, I don't really agree on replacing either of the Merc drivers until they've had a competitive car. While Max is undoubtably better, Merc have no idea whether they're sitting with 2 future WDC, or another Lando situation. Guess if you have the opportunity to sign the current WDC then you might as well.

LOL. Lewis merch and exposure in so many other areas outside of the sport globally means he's already made Ferrari that mkney back the moment he had that first Photoshop on the race suit lol.

The Ferrari share price jumped so high it added as much as two billion dollars to their company value. He transcends F1 now.

Just means it’s a waste of money for the general public instead of Ferrari then. He hasn’t done anything that Carlos couldn’t.

Carlos is simply not known outside of the sport. In fact no one is. His spread is just that big now. As a brand having Lewis name tied to anything would reap big rewards across many different worldwide markets, sponsors etc.

All sport is a waste of money. Your bias is shining through here, Lewis has done more for good causes than anyone else on the grid right now. How many sportsman get knighted? As others have said, he is more than just a person now. He's a brand and he uses that to further his good causes. How many F1 drivers have produced a successful Hollywood movie??

Ten years today since Jule Bianchi died of the injuries he sustained at the 2014 Suzuka GP. A sad reminder of the dangers of the sport we love to watch. Grosjean likely owes his life to the changes to the cars introduced as a result of Bianchi's accident.
