F1 2024 season

[TinFoilHat]

So far there’s again no team bridging the gap to RB. Pity with Verstappen head and shoulders the best driver driving for RB as well. It will be another boring F1 season as so many in the past. It’s too much clean racing as well. Do the cars even get dirty you wonder. Anyways it’s still up to other teams and drivers to make it more exciting.

I think RB off the track soap opera is the only thing keeping it interesting in that respect.

Nice caveat about Bearman to peak interest this season. And the battles between Mercedes and McClaren probably the one to watch.

No one else is winning, that can’t be good for the product.

Mercedes winning 8 years in a row probably wasn't good for the product either, yet it's still going.

FIA didn't name her in the complaint. Most people didn't seem to know who this was about until she came out and starting absurdly denouncing sexism and mysoginy.
The only reason her and her husband's name was so heavily linked to it is because of the big song and dance she made about it.

Just adds to all the drama off the track compared to on it.

Congratulations to Max on another win barring a miracle tomorrow.

Meanwhile Hamilton moaning about his car being shite. Maybe the team are giving you fuck all as you're moving to a rival?

Too much money for the constructors for them to intentionally be doing that.

He's not getting the best of his so far.

Russell miles better in his.

Agreed, Hamiltons said that too.

Which would be understandable. Why would they prioritise the bloke who's pissing off at the end of the season, over the driver who's going to be around for (probably) several more years yet? The team will deny it, of course. Add to that, Russell is the up and coming driver, whereas Hamilton's best days are seemingly behind him (didn't make it to Q3, and will start in his worst position in Oz for fourteen years).

Hamilton should get out of F1 and do something else

I thinks he's enjoying stirring it up off the grid. His comments backing Suzie Woolf got far less coverage than I expected with regards to back door deals and lack of transparency in the sport.

That was my conclusion after today's qualifying. The team have to be selective with what information they give to him in case it used against them in a zinger of a Ferrari next season.

To quote a great former manager; obviously.

What, like him fucking off to Ferrari?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Yep.

Thought they were a tad hypocritical in that respect.

Stories of Lewis just happened to be in a bar in Marranello last year having a social with a couple of Ferrari officials have appeared in possible retaliation.

When doesn't Lewis 'Woe Is Me' Hamilton moan, he's always whining about something and not just this season?

Lucky for him Sainz won't be there next season, otherwise he'd be bitching about Sainz constantly out-qualifying him as well.

 

[Slipper One]

Well, that's lap 17 and both Verstappen and Hamilton out.

Perez passed the merc there like a ball passed Claudio Bravo.
