* = Verstappen ordered to perform community service because, during a press conference, he had said about his own RB car: "The car was f**ked".

Leclerc blew it.

I guess the stewards are gonna make that 10K fine 'final' in Qatar + add more.

Fred will pay if any fine

I remember when this forum argued with me when I said than Lando was mediocre. The same names and faces here - and the same people high fiving each other now. If you guys couldn't objectively see that Lando was barely a midfielder, I'm not sure how you can believe that you don't live in a state of adjective delusion when it comes to Max.

"Best ever" they excitedly claim on a guy who couldn't beat Hamilton. It literally took the FIA crafting rules, huge amounts of $$$, and the fastest car for him to still fall short.

And this is your king?




Pathetic.

Bro, you're doing too much.

We get it, you love Lewis and a lot of us love Max.

Let's just enjoy the sport before they go full EV.

Michael Andretti is the director.

I guess the FIA don't want the name attached to the team.

Max would have won if he was driving the Mclaren or Ferrari. That is what separates him from the others. If he were driving the MB he'd have been top 3 or 4.

Don't know about that either. Still have to deal with #McLarenThings and #FerrariThings

I can imagine MAX's temper dealing with the Ferrari or McLaren things, there'd be an eruption...and Fred or Zak would be quivering wrecks with Jos joining in

He'd absolutely have more chance to do it than either of the Mclaren or Ferrari driver could and do think he'd pull it off. Easier in the Mclaren than the Ferrari for sure though.
Most of the Mclaren issues were those in the cockpit - losing the lead into the first corner is not something Max does - in fact, Max is one of the most consistent and best at lights out we have ever seen. Beyond that when Max has a fast car he wins about 80+% of the time. He's also a specialist in hunting down his prey, like when the team messed up his pit stop in COTA the other year and he was down 12 seconds to Ham (who inherited the lead by luck due to a Sai crash at the start) and within I think 6 laps caught him and blew by. And as we have all seen, Max controls the show with GP, and GP updates him but trusts Max to make the call, such as when to swap to inters.
