Lol.
Obviously a 3 time world champion and hopefully more to come from another of the greats of the sport. No matter who you support itās good to have the grace to acknowledge greatness when you see it.
Also well done Piastri, he could be joining them soon. Real class.

Completely ridiculous and absurd when your stupidly expensive Pirelli tyres canāt even do 5 racing laps before falling apart!
Typical of the clown heavy circus that is F1 these days to tell them they can carry on for a few more years.
Pathetic.
Happy days for McLaren though

Obviously 2x world champion plus one which is rightly Hamiltonās gifted to him by an incompetent FIA official.

If you watch motor racing you will see many times times swhere safety cars affect race results. Max was superb that year, in the 2nd best car, and deservably won while Lewis floundered with many mistakes. Accept it. Its history just like Lewis beating Massa previously. There is no discusion.

Iād be shocked if they can get a double podium tomorrow. I think the multiple safety cars saved them today. Over a full race RB just has better pace and deg
Well thatās your opinion, but itās not mine. We donāt need to agree. I know what I know.

Iād be surprised as well but, hey, s*+t happens in f1. Ask Lewis. BTW, congratulations to Max on his proper second championship. Well deserved!

Indeed, Max has had possibly the most dominant season of all time. Maybe heās nursing a hangover tomorrow and Lando gets a P1

I compared Verstappen to Alonsoā¦ Two top drivers.
Maybe, your figures show that says Stroll is not very goodā¦ or at least not as good as Alonso.
But, why are you selecting qualifying times in one race anyway ? Iām sure Stroll isnāt actually so bad normally
Anyway, looking at your figures, Verstappen was half a second faster than Alonso. So this is because heās a (half a second) better driver ?
Like I have said already (do I have to constantly repeat it), when it comes to the top drivers, āItās not (so much ) the driver, itās the carā¦ā
Ask yourself these questions :
- If, this season, Alonso had driven for RB and Verstappen for AM, who would have won the championship ?
- If, this season, Hamilton had driven for RB and Verstappen for Mer., who would have won the championship ?
Iām amazed heās even been credited for two championship wins on this forum.
Donāt forget he only won last year because of Red Bulls disgraceful budget overspend. Apparently.

I am also impressed with Landoās level-headedness. Heās so humble.
It took them a little while to perfect it but I do think Adrian Newey is the key here. Heās had dominant F1 cars with Williams and McLaren and I also see his own cars (eg e-type or Ford GT40) do well at Goodwood in historic races.
I also agree with your other comment about testing. These days the rule and budget changes do seem to limit testing but the pressure to succeed compels the search for an upgrade and it really does then seem to involve guesswork. Hopefully an educated guess but the comments from teams and drivers does point towards it being a guess. And itās all small incremental changes.
A far cry from my formative years watching F1 when innovation included six-wheel cars, fan cars and whatever Lotus under Colin Chapman created.
