F1 2025 Season

Does he have the car to win it again? From what I've read in the build up to the season, McLaren were supposed to be the team with the best car.

Right now no but it’s a long season and RB will keep pushing their development.

One thing is for sure is that Max will maximise their chances.

 

[waspish]

He's fulfilling a life long dream of driving for Ferrari, gets paid a wedge and the company car isn't bad either. I'm sure he's fine.

Also it's all about next year when the regulations change. Maybe he'll strike lucky and Ferrari will be the best team and he'll get another proper look at a championship run.

Yeah fair points

 

[waspish]

Max is just a cut above.

Rather watch the qualifying and Verstappen was superb that pole won him the race

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Minimal overtaking, no real drama, not even a single yellow flag. If that was Monaco there'd be discussions about whether the track should be on the calendar.

 

[waspish]

Funny guy

Max: "I think the grass was not really well cut on the right-hand-side, and Lando saw that aswell, so he made sure it was nicely cut!"

 

[manimanc]

Well that was boring.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Apart from his Schumacher tribute **** move on Lando he showed why he's the best driver by miles today. His cuntery is what makes him so good. I have to give him that.

 

[TonyM]

Delighted Verstappen won. A fantastic driver.

The history clubs can fuck off.

 

[Metal Biker]

Oh; the sprint. You count them?

Meh...you get like 8 points for winning them. No pit stops, roughly 17 laps, no need to worry about tyres or strategies.

I just see them as a chance to grab extra points.

The McLaren is definitely the best car atm, they've won the first two races and gotten podiums in every race but Piastri is still inexperienced and Lando is, well, Lando.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Well that was boring.

A few of the drivers agree. The resurfacing has taken some of the fun out of the track that many of them love.

More a case of sneaky Norris trying to force Max over the pitlane exit line to trigger a penalty.
He wasn't even pushed, Max just held his position, and it was completely fair.

 

[TonyM]

It'd have been more exciting if the grass was a mini inferno like yesterday and a load of pandas were released as random obstacles.

How wrong can you be!

 

[TinFoilHat]

How wrong can you be!

That max has a **** streak that puts his driving miles above the others?

No one pushes the limits as much as him since Schumacher.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Hamilton and Norris both sound clinically depressed. Jesus Christ.

 

[Slipper One]

Hamilton and Norris both sound clinically depressed. Jesus Christ.

Hamilton is always enjoying the limelight when everything is going well and he sure does sound depressed at present, which is not something that disappoints me.

Lando is obviously quick, but carries too much in his head and is his undoing. I think Piastri will achieve far more as their careers progress.

I really like Antonelli and hope he continues on his present upward trajectory.

.......and TinFoilHat, what exactly did Max do wrong in that incident with Lando?

Could’ve been worse. Bit of a cock up from the team, I thought they might’ve got a heftier punishment than that.

I am a big Lando supporter, I’m desperate for him to do the business this season but his mentality is really big worry.

That interview yesterday made him look like a little kid. Such a weird reaction. No way you’d ever get Max react like that

And while I maintain Piastri lacks consistency over a race, let alone a season, he’s undoubtedly rapid and with overtaking so hard in these cars we’re going to have a lot of races won on a Saturday this year.
