The no engine problem might have something to do with that.Horror show for Ferrari even with no engine failures. Fourth fastest team.

A Max Verstappen fan talking about sportsmanship? Come on.Oh yeah it's a race and I can understand that they complained I just don't agree with the way they went about it. Waiting untill the last possible moment thus allowing Alonso to get his 100th podium only to take it away from him after the ceremony.
I see several drivers bad positioned:

Several have stated that they cannot see these grids and its by pure luck that they postiom their car correctly.
Could it be because of bigger tyres?
Shame they didnt have the balls to do that in abu dhabi in 2021.Alonso is back in third, FIA have reversed the decision.
The FIA couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery.
Sargent position seems to be as bad as alonso’s as well as the car behind one of the Ferrari’sI see several drivers bad positioned:

The stats would never tell the whole story for me, for example Hamilton is the best driver if you go by stats, but do I think he's the best of all time? No. Jim Clark is in my opinion, he was a pure genius behind the wheel of any race car.Whatever the stats lean to.
Jesus let it go alreadyShame they didnt have the balls to do that in abu dhabi in 2021.
His father is the same guy without the talent. Let's just say tree and apple.Max Verstappen the racing car driver is well on his way to become one of the greats in the history of the sport. Phenomenal pilot.
The person I really have no time for. Every time I see him and he opens his mouth, I cringe a bit.
The reasoning is that a jack is allowed to touch the car. It was understood that only front jack is allowed because it is used to guide the car but nowhere in the rules it is explicitly stated that only front jack is an exception so they ruled that both jacks are exception and reversed their decision.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FrnWacoWcAEbEtr.jpg
the reasoning is basically: we got it wrong in the past, so its only fair if we do now too?
I was kind of drunk when I made my OP on this topic. I had seen something that motivated the question but I can't remember it at the moment.The stats would never tell the whole story for me, for example Hamilton is the best driver if you go by stats, but do I think he's the best of all time? No. Jim Clark is in my opinion, he was a pure genius behind the wheel of any race car.
It's funny how you just need to read the comments on here and the internet to see Checo lying about the fastest lap situation worked. Disappointing that he feels the need to do that when the radios clearly show he was never told not to go for it or that Max or any other driver wouldn't go for it.
Fastest lap was fair game. Checo was told he was free to push and Max bet him to it fair and square.
It's racing and they raced. That's exactly what we want to happen.
At the end of the day Checo should be happy he had a great race and showed really good pace and that he nearly got close to maximum points in a weekend after Max's reliability cost him majorly. Without that it would have very likely been a different story of course.
In other news feck me Ferrari was slow. Crazy how slow considering they where adamant this track would be better for them than Bahrain.
I've given up in believing anything that Ferrari says to be honest. Just avoids the inevitable disappointment.

Yeah gonna have to agree on this, but part of it surely has to be because the guy is essentially being allowed to do whatever he wants.
After the way in which that stupid 2021 ending happened with people basically desperate to justify him deserving it anyway, then Red Bull last season and this just absolutely worshipping the ground he walks on despite his constant whinging and moaning in the car, he's bound to have a high opinion of himself. And that opinion definitely shows.
Max done nothing this weekend to elicit these responses though.
When the car broke in quali he took it well. Didn't give our or lose his shit and was all smiles in the paddock.
After the race he congratulated the team and Checo and had a laugh with Checo etc.
So what did he do wrong? Take fastest lap? That was fair game, Checo was told he was free to push.
They had a fair fight for it and that's racing.
Also even if Max reacted badly to his quali issue as he sometimes does that's completely normal. Hell just go listen to Hamilton in 2016 when he had reliability issues. People get emotional it's really not that deep.
The biggest story of this weekend in terms of peoples attitudes is actually why Checo lied about the fastest lap situation. I like Checo but that was a bit sly on his part especially when the radio is there for everyone to see. He probably regrets it.
But again even that is really not a big deal. Probably just trying to put pressure on.
Absolutely.Shame they didnt have the balls to do that in abu dhabi in 2021.
Yeah it's easy to be calm when your car is so much faster it may as well be a different division, but we saw Max's real self during his numerous meltdowns before he was handed his first championship by Masi.

Mark Hughes from Autosport, thinks FIA will change tech rules for next season to stop the current RB car and its domination (unless rivals can close the gap, almost impossible in seaaon where the gap is over a second). Not good for the sport and the whole reason the rules were changed to stop years of domination by one team.
Good on redbull for making such a fast car but it’s ridiculous to watch, no fun what so ever, before the race even started I knew max would breeze through the pack, and he did at ease.Mark Hughes from Autosport, thinks FIA will change tech rules for next season to stop the current RB car and its domination (unless rivals can close the gap, almost impossible in seaaon where the gap is over a second).

Wasn't it reported that he left the track angry on Saturday and skipped the team debrief? Rosberg mentioned it and called it weak.
Not trying to pick but he did reportedly lose his shit over something very minor at this stage of the season.
Missed the race, was it another snooze fest or worth watching the highlights?
In my opinion definitely the former. Like somebody else said the only real interesting thing was Verstappen tearing through the pack, but we all knew that was going to happen anyway really.
