Wow so many bitter folks on here absolutely shattered with the prospect of verstappen destroyinngtheir hero’s records in the coming decade. Heh heh heh.

*pshew pshewwww* you hear that guys? It’s flashtappen flashing, FLASHING, past a helplessly nervous MehClerc!

*KLABAM KLABOOM* you hear that guys? It’s HULKSTAPPEN tearing apart those precious records Bumilton is holding onto once his glittering goat career is said and done.

Strap in and enjoy the ride guys, because oh boy this Dutch boy is taking us places with his never before seen scintillating driving talent.

Genuine question. Have you hit puberty yet?
 
fwoarr! you hear that guys? pusstappen free wheeling by checo whilst horner shouts “15mph is still too fast, sergio”
 
Absolutely buzzing. Damn, that’s two world titles. 24 years old. Surely another 6 in 10 years will be no problem. The GOAT.
 
Perez is going to push himself into the title battle and Max is gonna have a hissy fit this season. Can’t wait. :drool:
They wont let him. Even if the 2 of them are 50 points ahead of anybody else if Perez is leading Max he will be told to give the place up.
 
If Max does win the title this season he'll have more titles and more wins than Lewis had when he was 25.
 
You are obviously the Nostradamus of F1 as well.
I told you, I told all of YOU when he skilfully blasted past your old paps Hamilton (even his name sounds like that of an old man) that the domination would start.

People got giddy over LeMeh thwarting Verstappen just because they were pissing their pink panties that he would break their hero’s records are now bitter as feck :lol: i guess they recognize the threat that is the once in a generation talent Verstappen.

I dont know if you are overdoing it on purpose but this is a bit cringe.
 
Reading the thread at the minute makes me appreciate enjoying F1 as a whole and not backing specific drivers. Also opens your eyes to how hard the past decade must have been for some F1 fans. Whatever floats your boat I suppose.
 
ted’s notebook was interesting this weekend. turns out the noise verstappen was hearing in his cockpit in the final few laps was the sound of him being handed another wdc.

Bitter old men whine and think too much when they post their bile motivated by ugly negative emotions.

I embrace the cringe and do what I want and think. Rarely do I bother replying to replies with obvious agendas (hating my guts, me being right AGAIN not sitting well, etc etc).

Consider yourself lucky.
 
What was the point of getting closer when he was told he couldn't fight Max. He was 20 odd seconds ahead of Russell so he had nothing to push for.

And Max was a second per lap quicker then opened a huge gap afterwards when Leclerc was pushing them both before the order to not fight. Perez wasn't hampered at all by team orders; his pace was limited by the fact that he'd fecked his tyres lap 1 and couldn't open a significant gap, so as a result wasn't faster than Max after the first VSc.

Any team with a 1-2 where the car is in 2nd is a second+ faster per lap with the 3rd place car closing in would swap them. It's got nothing to do with Perez being handicapped.

I'm not some sort of RB junkie or anything but this criticism seems completely overblown. What they did in Spain was far more questionable; here I thought it was just good strategy.

I'd say that Spain and here is forming a pattern. People will come back with Merc would do the same but Rosberg says hello. Even Bottas was allowed to finish ahead of Hamilton last season that could be said cost them the championship but drivers should be allowed to race.

As and when he becomes more successful than Lewis Hamilton, he can be so classed.
Yes he is good. No doubt about that.
But he has a very long way to go to get anywhere near Hamilton.
 
Also I don't understand people spunking over Verstappen this season when he's been gifted half of the races? :confused:
 
No, there's none.

Bottas finished ahead of Lewis twice last season. Once in Austria where he was 2nd and Lewis was 4th. And In Turkey where he started on pole and Lewis took an engine penalty.

Nothing that team orders could have swapped.
I might be wrong on that then but He has seasons before that and as I said Rosberg says hello about a driver being able to challenge Hamilton at Mercedes.

It happened a few times in 2019 I think. At the start of the season they had 2 wins each and 2 second places each from memory. That season Mercedes were way ahead.
 
Totto just said that Hamilton may not race in Canada. Apparently the back pain he was experiencing was so severe it wasnt muscular pain but going into his spine. Hamilton said himself he only got through the race on adrenaline and biting down on his teeth.

“In the high-speed I nearly lost it several times. The battle with the car was intense.

“And then at the end, the last 10 laps, I was just having to go ‘you’ve got this, just bear with it’.”

“There were a lot of moments where I didn’t know if I was going to make it and whether I was going to keep the car on-track."

Mercedes formula E drivers will be at Canada as standby's for Lewis and George if needed.

Mercedes admitted that the specification Hamilton’s car was running in meant the issue was worse for him than Russell.

“George didn’t have the same bouncing that I had,” said Hamilton."

“He had lot less bouncing yesterday, I lost three and a half tenths to him just on the straights."

“I had an experimental part of my car and a different rear suspension so ultimately it’s the wrong one.”

"There is potential in this car. We just can’t unlock it at all until we stop this bouncing."

“But we have a much different-looking car to everyone else. And we need to have a look and see whether that’s right or wrong.”

It's probably not possible, but couldn't they do something with the seats to help? It'd add a bit of weight using a form of suspension I guess.

That's not good, I have a bad back and when it goes, it agony, clearly not the same as Lewis.
Canada is another bumpy track.

But the point is there's no "allowed" here. Verstappen was a second quicker per lap going into that message. Their main rival was closing in on them at the time. It's a no-brainer to not fight the faster car - there's a clear distinction between this and a scenario where both cars are roughly equivalent and one is told to let the other through in my opinion.

If RB were truly as cynical as you're describing surely they'd have left Perez out on a huge tyre disadvantage to hold up Leclerc to some degree? But they didn't - both drivers were on more or less identical strategies; just so happens that one of them didn't feck his tyres lap 1 and had faster race pace.

I think it's more just perhaps the message wasn't needed? I dont think Perez could have done much fairly to stop him anyway.

I get the team wanted to avoid some sort of crash, but it does sound like they're handing it to him with minimal fuss.

Max was clearly too fast for Sergio today though.

It's simple, raise the hight of the car and porposing is decreased significantly. If they don't want to do it take the consequences.

On the other hand, Max Max Max super Max Max Max.
