Formula 1 2022

[Looby blue]

I'm beginning to think MV is Russian.
A **** is a **** etc...

No he's Belgian, but he is a **** though.

Happy for Russell and hope its an early shot at a competitive season next year.

MV is a self-entitled little boy, he puts himself above everything, even the team. Not what I want to see in a dangerous sport.

I really like Verstappen as a race driver, especially this season, focused, competitive and aggressive.

I think it was bollox to give him a penalty for today's bump with Hamilton, because they both knew what they were doing and that's just racing. It's a very competitive sport, not a gentlemanly case of, "I say old chap, after you", "Oh no, please, after you dear boy, I insist". I know with many of you, that if there had been room to drive a double decker bus through, it would still have been Verstappen's fault.

My real issue though, is not letting Perez through to gain some valuable extra points, that's just a shite attitude and especially to a solid team player like Perez.

I like how Red Bull run their whole motor racing program, even like Horner because he's good at his job, but I'll struggle to find as much support next season for Verstappen. The team is what matters and can't run as efficiently and effectively as a group individuals.

What was his reasoning for not letting Perez through, does anybody know?

Well done to George Russell. I'm not over keen on him for some reason, but he fully deserved that, as did Mercedes as a team. They've worked through a lot of adversity this season to reach this point. I hope they have a good party tonight.

Now hoping for a RB 1-2 for the finale.

Look, you can have one bite, that’s how the fishing seems to be going on here. I won’t even comment on your post, it’s a waste of energy.

Let‘s just hope for a decent last race, whoever prevails.

No more clicks on this topic.

Enjoy.

Fishing has never been of interest to me, like golf, I have just never found it appealing.

Of course you're perfectly entitled to your opinion, as I am mine. I'm interested in any opinions, although the basic mindless derogatory ones don't have much appeal if I'm honest.

I don't really like Lewis Hamilton and his persona, but I respect him as a competitive racing driver who has excelled in his field. I certainly wouldn't be referring to him using some of the terms used on here for Max Verstappen.

Is that my last bite?

Max has alleged that Perez deliberately crashed in Q3 Monaco, which got him P3 and stopped Max getting a good lap in.

It doesn't really make sense because although Checo did win the GP, it was a 1 in a million shot from Ferrari completely blowing it, and he risked his entire race by crashing (LeClerc did the same thing from pole and destroyed his gearbox ruining his pole position last year)

Max or his dad have leaked it to Dutch journalists, and it is IMO an absolutely brain dead, team destroying move.

FIA are going to have to launch an investigation because it's literally cheating, and Checo would get a ban if found guilty, probably serious repercussions for the team as well. The inter-team relationships are going to be dead, it'll be all out war from now on.

He's take a situation where he looked like a bit of dick, and made it 100x worse for everyone.

Too much speculation without any base.........but on Twitter, so I guess it must be true.

I'm not bothered by an investigation, although I agree there has to be one now, it's more the internal rift that could possibly arise following Verstappens actions from today that concern me.

 

[SWP's back]

No need to be defensive, MV is who he is. I’m just giving an objective opinion.

The message he sent back to the team was telling. After many, many, years of watching, I’ve never seen anything like it.

Max in being a massive **** shock.

I didn’t like Verstappen not helping out Perez. Although apparently he made it clear to the team some time ago. If that’s true I don’t understand the call. The reason why I don’t know. So I’m not guessing like the media is.

Drivers regularly ignore stall orders. They drive to win. No to help out teammates. Perez has had numerous opportunities to be in a better position than he is now. So has LeClerc who didn’t get much help from Sainz either I think. Nor did Webber from Vettel many years back.
So it’s not something new. I don’t like it unless there’s a good reason to do so. But it starts with Perez. He should simply drive faster.
