Formula 1 - F1 - Current Season Discussion

3 races for Max with 4 incidents. Kvyat dive bombing everyone wasn’t even that prolific.

Bottas is definitely no Rosberg.

Good driver but lacks the killer instinct to challenge Hamilton.

 

[Joffrey]

Not bad if the team wants to avoid the fireworks of the Rosberg era yet not have to talk about any #2 status. Bottas will still have his Hamilton beating days but not nearly enough of them.

Like any good true #2 driver

I'm hoping Ricciardo gets the Merc seat in 2019

So am I... I’m a big Lewis and AMG fan but I’d rather have Dani pushing Lewis instead of Bottas. Bottas just doesn’t have it.

That was a wild one. I would classify the Verstappen-Ricciardo collision as just one of them racin’ deals except that it seems pretty clear that Max moved twice in the braking zone. Not exactly weaving, but there was probably just enough room on the inside if he hadn’t moved back to the left. Pretty marginal pass, but with Max, I don’t he leaves you many other options. If Ric has been as hard with him earlier in the race the crash would have come sooner.

Hamilton fucked his race with that lock-up, but I guess this makes up for the VSC ******* he took in Australia. Bottas, though... That’s an ass beating.

Stewards should’ve said something to Max a year or 2 ago with the double moves but they let him get away with it. Now ********* his team over.

As a Lewis fan I’m glad he got the win but Bottas deserved it more.

Grosjean crashing under SC trying to say a Sauber hit him. Wtf was that.

 

[sugarbutch]

Agreed on all points. I guess it didn't occur to GRO that he could **** up so dramatically all by himself.

 

[Schwazer]

Ricciardo attacked very close to the braking zone, thus there was nothing he could do when Verstappen made his 2nd movement. There is no way in the laws of physics he could have avoided that accident.

It would have been pretty close on the inside even if Verstappen did not move back in.

I would have loved it if Ricciardo and Verstappen both went after each other in the interviews. Obviously, Red Bull PR told them not to say much.

 

[Joffrey]

PLus it would have generated a ton of **** neither driver needs. Ricciardo knows he's well ahead of Mad Max in the WDC and looks really good what with his race win, so why stir **** up? Max probably knows he got away with the double move. Methinks FOM didn't do anything since the team fucked themselves and no one else.

Vettel begs to differ...

Vettel begs to differ...

"**** off! Honestly, **** off."

That's probably my favorite Vettel moment.

 

[sugarbutch]

I missed that (or don't remember it). When did he say that?
