Absolutely, although it will take him retiring for people to really appreciate it.
This track does not lend well to P1 starts, P2 is a better starting position
Yep - they have the Good cop/Bad cop routine down when it comes to driver management.
Isn't the absolute opposite to what was being said after qualifying on Saturday?
yeh was going to say. They said p2 was the worst place to start and p3 even had a better chance of overtaking off the start line.
I think people were hoping the new regs would bring everyone back together. (When it literally does the opposite as one team always gets it more right than the rest..) My only worry is that the teams behind can’t catch up as fast as rightly or wrongly they can’t just launch money at it. Which may then mean they just write this season off and concentrate on the next one which makes the dominance look even worse! Still, 2026 gives us the hope 2 teams get it just as right as one another.
It’s completely irrelevant that other posters, especially on a primarily UK forum tell us it WAS exciting in the past dominance era. The fact is, it very frequently wasn’t, and some people turned off. You‘ve maybe had had it with these arguments, but plenty of us have had it with the "my man isn’t winning so I hate this" attitude that keeps growing.
Neevr mind, sure I heard that p2 was best. I must have just made it up!
So do you think Rosberg was worse than Perez?
I find the rose tinted F1 fans really annoying as well. What's even funnier when you show them the results of the 'golden ages' where one team won majority of the races and most of the field ended up retiring due to mechanical issues they just ignore it.
It's not just the fact that nobody is challenging Max. If you look at the quote below you can see exactly why a lot of people are not liking this "era". As mentioned, from the shenanigans of '21, breaking the cost cap in '22, and the way the team personnel behave (Helmut I'm looking at you) there's a lot to mistrust and dislike around RB as a whole. On top of that, Max is proving himself to be a poor winner with some of his sarcastic comments on the race "simply lovely"
, and the orange fans are even worse by insisting on trolling Hamilton fans on every social media post, and with nonsense comments like the below
They already did that. Unless something's changed in the regulations, any changes to the car have to be made by the driver.
No it was adjusting parameters to control temperature.
What driver aids? The closest thing I can think of is DRS, and maybe anti-stall, although you could argue the latter is more of a safety feature than an aid.
That last point is spot on. I can’t remember when habitual back of the grid teams could get drivers through to Q3 on occasion when they nailed the set up.
Err they can
When you think someone saying 'simply lovely' is bad form. I think the issue becomes more about you then them.It's not just the fact that nobody is challenging Max.
