Formula 1 2022

[The Future’s Blue!]

I might be wrong but I thought all of that actually made no difference in the end anyway. It was all negated by the late safety car that brought the field back together regardless.
Verstappen is still a dick though and definitely should have let him through.

I think the main point is that he did everything he could to give the team the best chance of winning. Through that selflessness, it allowed MV to get a change of tyres while LH was forced to stay out.

Compare and contrast the despicable behaviour from MV. Saying that, he’s a clone of CH so not much of a surprise.

Looking back at this video makes you realise that Perez's unselfish actions in Abu Dhabi last year has to be the best or close to the best 'assist' a teammate has ever provided.



Max wouldn't have won the championship without Horner bullying Masi intervention.

Fixed it for you.

He goes out of his way to prove he’s a cheating **** and his fan boy’s still can’t see it.

They can, they just don't care.

If Lewis had a ten second gap, he could have pitted without risk under the late safety car.

The man is a ****.

Happy enough to use his own car as a battering ram at insane speeds without a single fuck given as to the safety and well-being of his fellow drivers.

Fuck him.

We are all cunts in some way or another.

Whilst not a religious man I think ‘let he who is without sin cast the first stone’.

The now revered Michael Schumacher drove in a similar fashion.

Senna (similarly revered) also liked to drive with his elbows out, so to speak.

Yep. For his time Senna was considered aggressive. Looking back at the below 'incident' with Prost it doesn't look anything particularly out of the ordinary compared to today's general driving aggression.



What worries me is that if Sennas aggression became the norm. Then will Verstappens reckless manoeuvres be the norm in 20 years time?

I've a feeling he'll regret those comments. Even if the FIA somehow don't take any action against him, karma can come knocking at any point in the future.

For starters, he’s probably going to be racing against Hamilton and Russell on his own next year, not like 2021 when Bottas was barely a speed bump and Perez was going to fight for Max every week.

To be fair, the sport just looks so different now. The cars back then, in comparison to today's machines, just seemed so much slower. Not that they were sluggish, by any means. But the technology (engines, aerodynamics, tyres etc etc) are just so far ahead of what they were back in the days of Senna, Prost, Mansell, etc. With the inevitable increased top speeds. Consequently, any "aggressive" driving will seem tame in comparison.

A quick google search, however, says that, as of 2 years ago, Senna was the fastest F1 driver of the past 40 years.....

F1 data ranks Senna as fastest driver of the past 40 years

Data has been used to determine the fastest 20 drivers from the past 40 years in Formula 1 over the course of a single flying lap

Not only are Max and his father cunts, but so is his mother it seems.
