Poll: Official 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix Race Thread - Hungaroring, Budapest - Race 13/24

I find it pretty disgusting that Lando had to give the place to Piastri.... People bet/gamble on the result of these races yet the true result can be changed by team orders...
imagine you bet on Lando who is McLarens #1 driver who started on pole and you lose your bet just because Piastri happened to lead for a few laps... it's a sham

I backed Piastri so happy with the result but it was pretty embarrassing stuff today.

 

[Hammy]

Risky to lose time with others behind them

yea true tho i wonder if he did would they have been free to race or hold positions

 

[Scam]

Disappointed we won’t hear from Max here

 

[Flibster]

Not Nico.......

 

[Mr Jack]

No? Max is gonna finish 5th. The title is very much up for the fight. We have 11 races left. 275 odd points up for grabs

Unless Max breaks a leg, he's going to win this with races to spare, but the WCC is there for McLaren's taking and they're going to need their drivers to work together. If you can't trust your teammate to hold up their end then that's not happening, and the WDC isn't happening next year.

Don’t gamble on a clown sport like F1. I won’t shed any tears for people losing bets.
What about those who put money on Piastri, seeing it disappear when the team favoured Norris?

 

[Mesai]

Maybe but Lando was definately faster towards the end so in my view should have been allowed to take the win, and its just stupid that they have thrown points away from Max

Who knows, he did create a gap but Oscar could have been following team delta's etc. just too much happening behind the scenes for us to know. Lando does seem to wake up at the end of every race.

 

[uscool]

Real Max has been coming out since others have closed the gap

 

[englishpremier]

Is it hell, ask any driver and they would want the WDC over giving a toss about the Constructors title

For the driver sure, but no-one was talking about the driver. The quote was about the team 'McLaren'

 

[Tombstone]

Its one of those questions isnt it, would Senna give the position up, would Schumacher, would you for that matter?

Tbh, rightly or wrongly, I wouldnt give the position up. Not a winning position, I'd probably give up a 2nd, or a 3rd or whatever, but not a winning position.

 

[Feek]

Thanks Max.

 

[Scam]

Unless Max breaks a leg, he's going to win this with races to spare

Likely yes, but we’ve seen what happens when his car isn’t 1sec a lap faster than the rest. He might cause a couple of DNFs for himself at this rate.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Not Nico.......

Is Nico trying to do his own fashion brand like Lewis or did he dress from a skip this morning after a night on the ale?

 

[hartgeh3]

Dire race, only salvaged by controversy and radio comedy.

Specially from the crap Crofty comes out with.

I guess the issue is perhaps one day he may need the services of his team-mate or for the roles to be reversed. How you treat your teammate will likely dictate how they help you in the future. Or not

 

[Hammy]

on another note lewis drove well the merc showing signs of improvement
and man did Max do some gurning

 

[Stu999]

Very mature comments from Lewis. He’s in his ‘elder statesman’ phase nowadays (on track anyway).

 

[Trusty]

Unless Max breaks a leg, he's going to win this with races to spare

There's no way of knowing that. That Mclaren is as quick as the RB now

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Thanks Max.

That's 5 miles of extra fuel for you now!

Maybe, but what of the first paragraph, would Senna, Schumacher or you give up a 1st place. I could imagine the response from them if told to give up first place, irrespective of whether they might need the services of their team mate one day
