I don't see much of a world where Oscar would ever choose to join RB if Max is there. They just would be oil and water, they'd never work side by side, and Oscar would not put himself in such a situation.
Extremely simple thing to understand, and yet I feel like some struggle with this (Max fans especially) because they view this sport as extremely selfish and not a team sport. In reality what Oscar did was best for himself and the team as it could very easily have been the other way around...
I tend to think it makes sense for Herta to go to F2 at this point in his career if he truly desires getting on the F1 grid. As you pointed out he hasn't been good enough to get a straight to F1 seat, even for a new F1 team. This isn't really much of a step back for Herta, and in some ways...
I think it was a very smart choice to go with those two, even if I'm a little bummed that Danny Ric wasn't interested in the least bit to return to F1. Those two will help that team get up and going a lot faster and really be valuable for the engineers. Having both makes the most sense when...
More consistency with the FIA...gee, we've only been asking for that for how long...like 40+ years. Can't expect that to get any better. In fact, I actually think this is where maybe AI could be used. Feed it the rules, give it all the videos and telemetry, and allow it to make the decisions...
Have to say it was a bit more entertaining race than the previous week. A bit more passes, and some shuffling of the order from the start of the race to the last. Some different strategies played out, which I always like to see just because everyone doing the same thing is just so boring...
Just watched it, while I know it's sponsored by Ford and of course they are going to rave about that Mustang, it was still a fun video to watch.
Something that I enjoyed that would be cool to see in an F1 race is the open face helmet. Now I know it'll never happen for safety reasons, but how...
While I too am a McLaren fan I also see how less entertaining this season has been, at least to this point. It's somewhat strange because it's definitely not like the season where Max and RB won almost everything, as others have won races this season. I just think now that we are getting...
More than likely you are right, but stating that there is "absolutely no way" is a bit too strong. Historically, first year team struggle mightily but there has been success stories, just few and far between. I'd be shocked if their first season they were any better than say 8th best team, but...
Let's start by saying that F1 is very much so a team sport, so focusing on just the drivers ability isn't a good predictor in how they will finish the season in the driver standings. Many excellent drivers have been hampered by a poor team around them.
So if your question is, could George win...
Like you, I can't really see Christian uprooting his family, or just leaving them for large portions of the year, to go to Ferrari. Alpine is close to where he currently lives, so the transition would be somewhat minimal.
I'm still not fully sold on Max leaving RB. I feel like has been two...
About 1.5 years too late I feel. Had they sacked him could Newey have chosen to stay? Would other key members have stayed? Would the new principle actually developed the car with two drivers in mind?
Feels like a last ditch effort to retain Max as they are very much so in desperation mode...
I don't typically watch any NASCAR other than their annual street track, which as you pointed out is this coming weekend. I also just looked at the weather, and it's saying there will be some rain and thunder showers. Wonder if they'd red flag the race if there is thunder showers or if they'll...
It's always silly this time of year with all the rumors. Nothing really new from previous years and Toto's desire to add Max. Of course it would appear more likely due to his teams struggles and internal issues that have popped up over the past year and a half.
I don't think anyone can really...
Of course Toto would want to get Max, wouldn't every team be interested? He's one of the best drivers on the grid, and you can't question his passion to win.
DTS bias, so I have watched all the DTS series and I watched that youtube clip. So the two things that I'd say is that it's meant for...
I think the moment in the cool down room when Lando stated that he did the same move as Max on Charles also...but in the Mario Kart game, that was the quote of the day for me.
I don't think anyone can deny that Max is a special talent, and I don't see much of anyone on here stating that he isn't.
I just don't believe in the whole narrative that "he's the best to have ever drove in F1", or that "with the same car he can beat anyone on the grid", etc. He's one of...
Just to expand on the whole should Max have pitted for new hards or not. One thing people have to understand, they made that decision without knowing if McLaren, Ferrari, or Mercedes would pit, nor did they know how long the safety car would last. Let's say that McLaren chose to stay out to...
Am I wrong to say that didn’t Williams and Aston have powertrain issues this season?
I would think that all the Mercedes powered cars are exploring the limits of that powertrain to narrow the gap to McLaren, and in doing so they are finding that limit and surpassing it.
