In a lot of ways I think Checo got caught up in the moment. He started 5th but everyone in front of him besides Max had a poor start and he saw an opening. Maybe he thought that Charles would back out but that never happened. There is no other race where the fans at the race are as passionate...
Bit of a strange qualifying. Makes me sad to see Lando so far back on the grid, but that’s what happens when you don’t put a banker lap in earlier in the session.
Amazing how both Ferrari drives put down their fastest laps early and no one else could match, that’s Max stuff right there. I...
It takes a lot of car to beat a real track race car driver. If it was me driving the Supra and say the guy from this video who set track times in a ND Miata, I'm almost positive he'd beat me around the track. But that speaks more to how shit of a driver I am than anything else. This was an...
I think when you factor in money, possibly lower dealer markup, and how fast the Supra is out of the box, it's really the winner in my mind.
If you go to the aftermarket and upgrade the tires, brakes, suspension, and a tune, you'd still be less money than the Nismo Z and the Dark Horse, but...
Yes of course, but some are much better at keeping their cool in the moment. A good example is Lance Stroll the last weekend and his interview right after, of course Stroll knows better and what to do, but he was so pissed off that he couldn't restrain himself.
I don't fault Lewis for not...
I think there could be some insurance issues as well. If you got into an accident with all seasons on when it's mandated for winter rated tires, I'm not sure if an insurance company will use that to get out of paying for the repairs.
For your question, stock rims are certainly not the best...
Here's the thing about the floor measurements, the reason why it's a big deal is safety. So it's for the safety of the drivers that there isn't excessive wear on the floor, which is a key part of the structure and safety of the driver.
So from what I understand, there are a number of reasons...
Very telling to see just how much Max still cares about winning even after both championships are done. I don’t think it’s him trying to make more records, I just think he loves to race and always wants to be at the front.
I won’t be surprised if McLaren can pass Aston in the standings this...
Good Canadian boy that does a lot of commentary and interviews for Indy Car and likely some other racing events. He obviously has a lot of driving experience so he at least has some knowledge of what these drivers go through.
They don’t all apologize or admit guilt. Then you have some that do the poor behaviour of apologizing but giving a reason why they did it, which is trying to justify actions and placing some of the blame on others. So when Lewis apologizes, takes full responsibility, and does so in the media...
Considering that Oscar is under control for longer than Lando, I'd say that RB is likely keeping tabs on both but realistically would pursue Lando first. I'm actually hopeful that RB can take someone from their development program/teams to replace Perez. Someone like Yuki or Lawson. Maybe...
You realize that literally every driver has this type of comment during a race or season. Wasn't it just last week when Alonso said he was "thrown to the wolves". You just don't see it from the mid pack/back half of the grid because the coverage is always favored toward the bigger names.
Yes ideally George would have backed out and let Lewis by, but I don’t think he was paying as much attention to Lewis as he was Max. After that point though, you have to admit he drove a very good recovery race.
You mention the heat and FIA should do something, well thinking about the other...
Being a McLaren fan, this was one of the best weekends. Oscar is doing an amazing job this year and I’m so glad they extended him. The key for the team is to do a good job in not favouring one over the other too much and cause friction. In fact, if I was their boss I would let them battle it...
I like the spring races, just extra wheel to wheel racing, what’s not to love? Other than kind of a screwy weekend with a qualifying on Friday for the race on Sunday. I kind of preferred when the spring determined the trip for the GP. But the shootout is a lot of fun with less time and more...
Some of his qualifying issues this season were team related, in that they send him out at the wrong time. Happens to most drivers not named Max, and I’m not implying that RB does it on purpose, just that some of his poor qualifying this season was due to poor decisions by the team.
I think...
Without Perez, Max would not have even had a chance to win his first title. Last season he played a big role in RB winning as a team. But I will admit that this season he has been rather redundant and literally anyone could be driving that car for RB this season and RB & Max would still have...
My goodness, feels like this week I am defending drivers left right and center. George is an excellent driver. He is trying any and everything to win another race, to the point that he asked his team the last few races to do a different strategy than others ahead of him. I think it’s a lot...
