F1 2024 Season

Red Bull have no race pace whatsoever. If Mercedes somehow get there upgrades to actually not make the car go slower, we could have some sort of a Championship battle still
 
So with Ferrari showing some form, and potentially a title contender next year, how do we think Hamilton will compare against LeClerc?
Hard to tell because Lewis hasn’t had a competitive car for so long. However, an 80% Hamilton deals with Leclerc.

I also wonder who Ferrari will ultimately favour. Leclerc was the golden boy but he hasn’t lived up to the hype. The story of Hamilton winning the record 8th (9th*) title crossing the line in the red car AND reclaiming the glory from Merc makes me believe Hamilton would be strongly favoured.

Leclerc has been up there this year. His series of results since Hungary have been phenomenal. Think he comfortably beats Hamilton

| Reporter: Will you do anything different next time, considering the penalties? Max Verstappen: “Maybe have a drink during the pit stop. The engine was off for 20 seconds, so there would have been enough time.”

:lol: never change Max

Also: Lawson flipping off Checo when overtaking him...man gonna be Mexico s new enemy numero uno

Bur seriously do change your spastic defending Max because someone's gonna get a hurt really bad.
 
I don't think Leclerc has it in him. I wouldn't be surprised if Hamilton was faster.

He's going there for that one final push for the 8th title, that's the only reason for moving.
The skill and mental edge Leclerc will gain from being next to Lewis will push him over that championship line. It will be very tense though, I can see Lewis having issues with some of the politics, Ferrari would prefer a Charles championship.
 
Sainz deserves better than Williams. Hope he gets back to a good car relatively soon.

Also, good to see K-Mag get a good result before he departs F1. Haas really cementing that 6th spot in the constructors.
 


Get him in the Red Bull for Vegas.

Love it, Perez was shite the whole weekend, tried to overtake Lawson by pushing him off but Lawson was having none of it. You could tell Perez was feeling the pressure too with his comments on the radio. Hopefully this is his last season.
 
Was it Lawson who Perez was lambasting in another incident? He was saying something like "what the feck is this idiot doing" while being fairly overtaken. I wanted to say "he's overtaking your slow arse". He's getting hustled in around 17th and on the radio whining.

Feel a bit sorry for him in front of his home crowd though.

Yeah, then he said something along the lines of "probably from the same idiot" when talking about the debris from the Lawson / Colapinto incident (for which Colapinto got a penalty). He was a right cnut about it :lol:
 
Max has been doing this car crash driving his whole career. Why is it only now that the stewards/FIA are punishing him for it?
I really don't get this revisionist theory. People scream this online and it's taken as gospel. We could argue all day long whether people think he got enough of them but he s received plenty of penalties over the years. Just look at the pts on his super license alone. Some of this train of thought goes back to people being stuck in 21 IMHO. Sometimes the hate feels a bit like Arse fans seeing a boogie man everywhere.

Many on here simply hate Max because he's not British, he's an aggressive driver and he says what he thinks I stead of the usual politically correct answers. If he makes a mistake or makes a snarky remark in the heat of the moment people on here are frothing at the mouth, ready to tear him a new one. Been that way for years now and it won't change. Lando or Russell pushes someone off? No big deal. Max does it to Lando? MAX IS A DANGER TO THE ENTIRE PLANET! THE DEVIL INCARNATE!

Now of course Max does go over the edge sometimes, and he did yesterday with that second incident where he obviously lost his head, dove down the inside, missed the corner and still stayed ahead. The 10 second penalty for that was the right call, obviously. The one before that though where Norris was on the outside and got pushed off? How is that a 10 second penalty if others have recently gotten a 5 second penalty for similar incidents? And why didn't the stewards hand out more penalties? Yesterday we saw drivers get pushed off so many times I lost count. Yet nobody got penalized except Max. There was more inconsistency after the race in the presser where Leclerc said feck. Why no punishment? The answer is of course Johnny Herbert being the steward. He's shown so many times he's biased but the FIA don't care.
 
Every point counts, they’re in with a real shot at the constructors. Madness.

They had to wait to pit Leclerc until there was only 2 laps left because if they had done it earlier they would've opened up the chance for Norris to pit as well.

Joke of a post.
Full of unfounded accusations and generalisations.

I don't dislike Max because of where he is from.
And I have said many times he is a fantastic driver.

But I do dislike him because he can be a danger to other drivers as well as himself.

As soon as someone challenges him, he tends to lose his cool and we all saw what happened yesterday. Including the race stewards who were correct in their penalties.
 
I see nationality is the topic to deflect again, ridiculous how it turns to that every single time in this thread.

Every. Single. Time.

it’s the easiest way to tell how slam-dunk verstappen being a bellend was.
