British fans booing non British drivers, classy as always.
F1 2022 Season

you’re just ignorant and don’t understand our culture. it’s a term of endearment. my second grandmother, and the mother of my father and my uncles’ soul and heart! she used to boo us all. it’s not about what it is about love. fecking hypocritical lonestar.
I wonder why..
I don't care about booing. It's just the hypocrisy that bothers me. Sky made a big deal of it when Lewis was booed at Hungary last year.
Apparently it's all friendly banter now that it's not their darling driver on the recieving end. Same with Rosberg. Also cheering when Max crashed last year at that speed is just disgusting. Like I said, classiest of fans.
That must have been a lot of booing. Almost every driver on the grid is non British, did they all get booed?
Non British drivers who dare to challenge their media darling driver.
Probably just non British drivers that are smeglords.
You are absolutely insufferable. 1. There are plenty of other non-British drivers on the grid, don’t see them getting booed. I wonder why.
2. Hamilton was booed in Hungary for standing up for the rights of the LBGT community.
First you make more of a point of defending Max than condemning racism. And now you equate fans booing Max, classy or not, because he’s a dick, to fans booing a driver standing up for human rights.
I’m seeing a bit of a trend here …
I am also a member of a football forum that is absolutely shocked at fans booing their rivals and sports media stirring up shit. My god, how peculiar!
Booing one particular driver you mean. Not all non British drivers.
You can't drive as dirty as Max did last season and expect not to hear the odd boo.
Of course they only boo drivers who actually dare compete at the top. Vettel at RB was booed, Rosberg was booed and now Verstappen. Quite obvious what the trend is here. All good as long as you let our drivers win mentality. So entitled.

Max is a dick now too, apparently. The bias on here is just another level.
I guess Vettel (at RB) and Rosberg used to drive dirty too?

Calling fans at Silverstone entitled, coming from the guy who can't stand the idea that folks don't like his favourite driver. A total lack of self awareness seems to be a hallmark of Verstappen fans on here.

I don’t really understand why you’re bothered by it. Imagine going to football and there’s no booing of a rival. It’s a part of sport. Bringing the reaction in the UK press Hungary into your argument doesn’t help either - clearly that was for something very different.
Sports fans always think rival players are dicks, did you ever moan about Liverpool or Arsenal players being dicks? It’s the same thing, highlighting negatives and not recognising any positives.
What do you expect. English sports fans are the worst. They also have an Englishman who is one of the best drivers ever. Of course they will be tribalistic. Exactly the same in the Netherlands.
watching FP3 and Max looks like the one to catch, Lewis is also looking fast, looks like the upgrades are working and the Merc's are maybe back in the mix.
Sainz car was bouncing quite a lot earlier.

Hope it's not just a track specific thing for Mercedes again.
This and next three tracks are all smooth surfaces so we wont have an answer till after the summer break.
I agree with this, booing is all part of any sport, it happens all the time.
Of course Max was going to get booed here, what else do people expect, the same will happen to Lewis in Austria and Holland, the drivers expect it, Lewis has already said it drives him on, I would say Max is the same.

Not sure if max and leclrec are running in full power deployment. Maybe they are sandbagging? Cant see Mercedes closing a 0.7 gap with some upgrades bought to one gp. I think after qually Mercedes will be 0.2-0.3 off the RBs which will be a huge improvement. Lets see.
Yeah I tend to agree.
I still only have Lewis and Russell 5th and 6th but closer to top 4.
That RB looks so planted. Goota be a shoe in for pole.
Looks like a big improvement from Mercedes. Car seems to be bouncing a lot less and pace wise there doesn't seem to be much between them, Ferrari and Red Bull at the moment though they're probably still third. Hopefully not another false dawn for them. Maybe Toto will now stop whining about how the FIA need to fix Mercs problems with porpoising for them, that would be a nice bonus
Max looks unbeatable and after last year, he will be desperate for the win here.
I agree its does looks to be driving better and Lewis looks like he is driving with confidence in the car.Looks like a big improvement from Mercedes.

Red Bull easy pole but I reckon Merc might be in the fight here in the race.
I would like to think so, my gut is telling me, they will only get a podium if there is a couple of DNF'S in front.
Lewis still saying there is bouncing, I saw Sainz with the same earlier.
mmmm BBC is saying 40% chance of rain between 3 and 4
Today or for the race?

sorry , should have said for today, in qualifying .
Indeed.
Both Hamilton and Russell look a lot more than comfortable and confident in the Mercedes.
I do believe that as soon as Hamilton feels he can really push, we will see the true Lewis again.
I think Russell has had more confidence in the car then Lewis so far this season, even in the state it is now , it is much better than what he was driving last season.
I agree with Lewis, get the car bang on and he will be up there, I still think he will win a race or 2 this season.
OH it's raining, that will mix up qualifying.
Intermediates seems like a bold choice
There is a dry line forming, but still a gamble.
How soon before Stroll or Latifi are in a gravel pit or a wall somewhere, bringing out a red flag?
Yeah seems it stopped for now
The Aston is not good in the wet.
