I don't :)
**** off Piastri.
Tsunoda is making a good case for Checos replacement, he's now scored double the points Ricciardo has this season
link to that
Yeah, read that too. I can see in the results that Stroll finished less than a second behind Tsunoda, so maybe they thought they had a chance - although that would have been highly unlikely outside the DRS zone, so probably managed badly by the team?
Saw on twitter that Alonso let Stroll past to attack Tsunoda, with understanding they'd swap back if unsuccessful. He was unsuccessful, but didn't swap back. Which was for last point.
Interestingly, Anthony Davidson on Sky just analysed the Hamilton-Verstappen collision and he (kind of) opined it was a racing incident.
When it's the champion you hear it more,people used Hamiltons moaning as a stick to beat him with…same is happening now with Verstappen
At this point though, is the Red Bull that much better than the competitors? Verstappen was stuck behind Hamllton for a few laps even with DRS.
I'm not a fan of his at all and I agree that his tantrums are "entertaining" at best. I'd argue though that he is one of the greatest anyway.
They all do it when the car or strategy doesn't go their way and you'd be sick of hearing drivers bitch and moan but we tend to hear more radio messages when its Verstappen
Max could be the greatest of all time, but he's too comfortable in a car that is better than everyone else's.
These complete tantrums when he's 'in the mix' are utterly ridiculous. He just comes across as a spoilt brat.
No chance I’m listening to them idiots on sky.
Hopefully Max returns to form next weekend
It wasn't just Today, he hasn't been happy with the car most of the weekend.
He does need to calm it back down a little, I don't mind all the radio noise - but that dive down the inside of Hamilton was ridiculous of him to try.
Max fell off the track three times today. That more than he's managed in the last season or two
my race thoughts…. Not a great race but not the worst. I’ve read all the comments on Lando but IMO he’s earned a lot of respect from me today, yeah he could have given the place earlier (and benefitted) but he gave it and as a competitor that’s a big deal team wise! Today will stand to him but it also keeps good team harmony. If he wants to challenge this year or next he needs Piastari on side!
A bit of an arsehole today to be honest. I was starting to like him too.
Yeah, if it was Lewis I don't think crofty would have brought that up but I think Maxes temper bothers a lot of people in F1. I thinks it's similar to why Schumacher has fallen out of favour as people's favourite driver over the past few years because a lot of people are only realising now that he was a bit of a dickhead at times and pissed off a lot of drivers who have since gone on to become successful F1 pundits. Senna appears to be everybody including the drivers new favourite. I think Max reminds a lot of the drivers and team principles of Schumacher.
Half way there. Cmon Cork now.
I was glad GP called him on that. It's one thing if it's a 50:50 call to side with your driver, but this was obvious error. And he had been pissy all race.
yes the Sim racing seem to come up way too often in the commentary. Max did come across as a bit immature on the radio, funny to see the team not agreeing with him about the Lewis incidents
He was mega pi**ed off today. He needs to get his head together quickly
He/she wont know until the Ch4 highlights this evening 😉
Yeah Max messed up badly today, Crofty really done my head in with all the sim racing talk but the lack of sleep definitely didn't do Max any favours.
McLaren really made a mess of that, Hamilton was several laps away from overcutting Norris so they could've easily left him out another few laps and pitted Piastri first. So instead of Piastri celebrating on the radio for his first win(sprint win aside) he's apologising to the team.
Will have to see if there is any fall out after this in McLaren. Strategy calls might be a bit more considered for McLaren in future. Lando seems to be more consistent and slightly faster, so hopefully will get payback in the not too distant future.
Absolutely, but as I've been saying for years he's not as good as Lewis once the car starts to fall away. He needs to get his head on straight if he wants to stay on top. He has every potential to be the best driver of all time but he's got a terrible temper.
Will Lando break the P1 trophy this year?
That's Hamilton now ahead of Russell and Perez in the Championship.
Ridiculous race.
McLaren made a bollox of that
Max one step closer to Merc.
2021 Italian Grand Prix wasn't THAT long ago.
Norris being incredibly diplomatic.
Stupid of McLaren to be in the position in the first place, there was no real risk behind them. Lando was very silly here.
And how cool is Piastri on the radio?
Yeah totally unnecessary from McLaren, Hamilton wasn’t a threat to Norris. A problem of their own making.
