“Fernando is faster than you.”….

 

[Stumble Bum]

Anyone remember when drivers actually fought for the title?
Not just "oh hes my teammate, I must move over".
Pathetic.

It's not like Perez ever takes any points off Verstappen. Must be nice.

Pathetic.

I don't remember many examples of drivers on the same team fighting each other late in the season when only one of them is in with a chance of winning a title (albeit a slim chance)

Really will be a pity if Norris wins this title.

Really will be a pity if Norris wins this title.

Because your beloved Max won't if that happens?

Na, just the fact that Norris isn’t WDC material.

Would rather see Charles win it.

Surely anyone who wins the WDC is WDC material?

 

[Mr Jack]

Na, just the fact that Norris isn’t WDC material

As much as the last three WDCs.

Would rather see Charles win it.

Likewise, he's the better driver, but F1 is a team sport.

5 second penalty to Max for the VSC infiringement. Drops him to P4 and Leclerc to P3.

5 second penalty to Max for the VSC infiringement. Drops him to P4 and Leclerc to P3.

Surely a slam dunk if he’s 1/2 alongside car at the end but a second behind when VSC was initiated?

 

[SpartaP]

5 second penalty to Max for the VSC infiringement. Drops him to P4 and Leclerc to P3.

Another point closer for Norris.

And he was mocking Charles during the sprint for 'soo many mistakes'

 

[andy_mk3]

0.63 seconds below the delta time too, that's quite an advantage. He tried to second guess the green flag and it backfired.

 

[Tejstar]

Yep, it looked like he went hard when we saw the VSC sign was saying it was ending, but before it had properly gone green. Although not sure if that was a delay on what we saw on screen - from the sounds of his penalty, probably not.

The only way the title fight gets close though is if Max has a DNF and Lorris capitalises in one of the races. I can't see Lando challenging otherwise.

 

[SoliD]

5 place drop from 3rd or 4th, puts him in danger area if the race is at all wet tomorrow.

Being wet is can an advantage especially to Max...

 

[Personality+]

5 place drop from 3rd or 4th, puts him in danger area if the race is at all wet tomorrow.

That would be an advantage for him not a disadvantage.

 

[Mesai]

Surely anyone who wins the WDC is WDC material?

Can't think of any WDC, in recent years, who's thrown away so many chances at points. Even when it's an easy win, he makes mistakes. Norris is what you get when you buy your WDC from wish.com.

As much as the last three WDCs.

Max has plenty sus moments, but can't imagine anyone would disagree that he's one of the most talented drivers.

The rain has arrived and it's absolutely tipping down. Delayed Qually?

[andy_mk3]

Was just about to say it’s chucking it down. Potentially a significant delay.

 

[UTmaniac]

Ooo, that makes things spicy, rain setup for qualifying, especially if the race is dry tomorrow!
