What an ass, although I still would but then Hamilton would always be top of the list.

By "would" I obviously mean watch him race, nothing else AT ALL.
 
Sorry thats not allowed. Lapped cars between cars 44 and 33 are allowed to pass. You can be between Max and Sainz if you want 🤣

...it means I'm getting sandwiched between Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz.

It also means, every thread I comment on gets me baited into some kind of sexual innuendo, smh, but I have ammo now that I'd forgotten about, for the Wouldja thread now, thanks @Hassy !

@Ks_guy It's really about cars racing. I don't fully get it, I just watch it and enjoy the ride.
 
how dare you GIF
 
George Russell deserves his chance after performing consistently well for the non-competitive Williams team in 2021. Not sure if the Bahrain circuit is suited to his abilities though. Otherwise - the great Max Verstappen. Definitely anyone but Hamilton.

All great points apart from Max . he is a great driver dont get me wrong , but "THE Great " can only be Sir Lewis Hamilton.
 
Lets gooo i predicted the charles win, even though im a lewis fun boy i knew it would be hard to keep up with the ferrari and redbull. P3 is a dream though
 
I must say I didn't expect Ferrari to come home in a 1-2 finish in Bahrain. I knew they were improving but I didn't think it would be that quickly. Nice to see the HAAS team finally win some points also. Tomorrow's race I really can't predict but I can't see George Russell winning. For some strange reason he and Middle Easten circuits don't seem to gel. I hope he breaks that spell though. Max? I'd love to see him win. But - Hassy - no disrespect to your liking Hamilton - but I don't, because I think he's an arrogant whingeing prat lol

Yeah None taken . i feel the same towards Max as he is just as arrogant, and i have personally seen Max irl. rarely smiling , doesnt do much for fans . but cant deny he is a good driver
 
I thought the first 80% of the race was pretty much run of the mill. It was only in the last ten or eleven laps that the race truly burst into life - Verstappen and Leclerc swapping the lead, then almost stopping as neither of them wanted the lead for about ten metres at turn 17, due to the fact that they both wanted to take advantage of DRS yet not offer the other the chance to turn the tables. This made it a good old-fashioned duel. Once again Ferrari showed their improvement and I think if it had been any other driver but Max racing against him, Charles Leclerc would surely have gone on to win his second successive race. Three cars retiring due to mechanical failure though, and all on the same lap - not sure if I have seen that before. Those retirements, added to the three earlier ones, left the field very short, and I think it's that what made the major part of the race seem so ordinary (although obviously I take nothing away from the drivers concerned - the race still had to be won).
 
Does anyone think it's a good idea for someone to post a poll for who they believe may win the drivers and/or constructors championship?

nothing wrong with that at all . but to me its too early to say whos winning it . leclerc and ferrari in the driving seat
 
Another good win for Verstappen yesterday. Uncharacteristic mistake by Charles Leclerc made it easier for Max than it ought to have been. Good to see George Russell continuing to score reasonably highly in a Mercedes car that does seem to have problems. McLaren continuing to improve. And nice to see Haas continuing their improvement, although I'm surprised that Schumacher hasn't scored yet. Would be nice to see him one day emulate his dad, the great Michael Schumacher. This season was tipped to be more competitive than recent seasons, especially among the mid-echelon constructors and it hasn't disappointed so far.
 
I still it will be a contest between the clerk and the stable master for the championship. That being LeClerc and Verstappen
 
Verstappen is starting to win it all, Hamilton has cracked the shits, while my man LeClerc is finding out where his reliability disappeared to. Russell is being consistent, Perez is Verstappens newest wingman, Sainz appears when he wants to be, and can someone tell Alonso to go rack off to IndyCar - Piastri needs his seat.

As for the rest of the field... *yawn*
 
Another win for Verstappen in France, but I feel a bit sorry for Charles Leclerc. A genuine nice guy with the potential to win the championship even at this stage. But Ferrari need to get their reliability sorted. Two throttle problems for leclerc and a recent spate of engine troubles aren't doing that team any good. Even Leclerc's patience must be wearing thin. That said, I still think Verstappen probably has it sewn up now. I'd like to see Russell grab a win or two though.
 
Methinks Verstappen has got this championship in the bag. LeClerc is close but his time will come soon, Perez is still the ultimate wingman, Sainz is giving it all he can (off the track and into the kitty litter) whilst the Mercedes... well pfft they had their time in the sun.

I can see nothing stopping Max now. It will take an almighty series of mistakes from the pit crew or some unprecedented mistakes in team orders to rob him of the title now. Who is there to stop him? Mercedes are close but still not close enough (and besides it's far too late for them to finish above 3rd in the constructors championship now), and Ferrari are dropping clangers all over the place, which has drained Charles Leclerc's confidence. Indeed, I can see Sainz finishing ahead of Leclerc in the driver's championship at the moment. It's Verstappen for the title by a country mile now, methinks.
 
Yep, Max for the Championship.

Also sucked in Alpine, you didn't get Piastri after all for next year.
 
Mike62UK said:
Unless I heard wrong, isn't Piastri replacing Ricciardo at McLaren next season?

Yes, he is to be contracted to McLaren in 2023. Ricciardo may still be in F1, although it depends on which team wants him.
 
Haas is interested in Ricciardo according to some reports

From the commentary I was listening to on C4, I got the impression that HAAS weren't overjoyed with the performances of Mick Schumacher, but recently he seems to have been outscoring Kevin Magnusson. So I wouldn't like to call it whether or not a spare seat will become available next season, unless Schumacher and/or Magnussen are being touted for seats elsewhere - something I am not aware of. Isn't Vettel considering retirement? Maybe Ricciardo could find a seat at Aston Martin, if that's the case? How about Alpine? What are Alonso's plans for next season? Is Pierre Gasly remaining at Alpha Tauri? There could be a number of options available for filling F1 seats for 2023.

Sorry for butting in, but at least I usually comment on your wall lol. Anyway, I'm sure rapinoe is very quiet during F1 races - however, I can't help wondering how she reacts every time Max and Lewis get wheel to wheel on the circuit lol

I can get pretty into it, some yelling and talking to the telly. More so during football (real football and what you americans like to call football). I'm more of a casual F1 fan.
 
I am a fan of F1, I just hate paying via a pay wall to watch it
 
I thought the race at Monza was a shambles. There should have been at the very least a last lap restart. It was always on the cards that Max Verstappen would have won anyway but a last lap restart would have at least given LeClerc a fighting chance. Who won the driver of the day? I missed that. But I would have found it hard to choose between Nyck Devries (the Williams replacement driver for Alex Albon - get well soon Alex), who finished a very creditable 8th, Carlos Sainz - and I hate to say this - whinge master Hamilton, who had a good race too. Anyway - back to the race itself - the FIA need to get this situation sorted out for next season - preferably earlier.
 
Strange race in Singapore on the Sunday just gone. Perez deserved his win but with the conditions being as they were, it seemed as though whatever tyres were chosen, the drivers weren't fully able to master the conditions. George Russell and Mercedes gambled on soft tyres but it was a gamble that never paid off. Who would have thought that a Mercedes driver would finish a full two laps behind everyone else (other than those forced to retire)? And that, in a race that wasn't even completed in full. Two laps short, due to time factors being brought into play. That said, it did make for an edge of your seat occasion, and Verstappen is still not yet certain of winning the drivers championship - although I think he will. Full credit to Sergio though. It was a very brave performance. It's also unlikely Max will be crowned champion in Japan this coming weekend. So the season has turned out to be more exciting than it might have been, had conditions in Singapore been ideal.
