* = 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.

Not sure if this has been posted. Very mature at his age. But at 27, he’s seen and experienced a lot than most 27 year olds. Incredible to watch this man go from that kid who entered F1 and I knew he would be a champ one day. To now a 4 time champ. Excited to watch his motorsports journey as a fan of racing.

It was MAX who helped Ferrari close in on McLaren in the Constructors with just 24 points separating the two. As far as the uncomfortable situation with the drivers is concerned I believe this was instigated from the top with first SAI being told to box then the not being ready narked him and hence not taking notice of the order to stay behind Charlie who when he did pass upset him but enough being enough with him let loose with some french and then bang on time Fred warning Charles, all this is part of leading up to what's happening in '25 with HAM's coming and a ready excuse from them shrugging their shoulders pointing that someone had to leave as they clashed. It sounds crazy but I believe this is the situation, Ferrarithings+ .

Wasn't this forum telling me how Sainz was a better pick than Hamilton because he knew his place and worked well with Charles.

This forum continues to have terrible takes.

Let me remind you that just a page ago, you were claiming that Ferrari could conspire against Charles to favor Lewis, when we saw Ferrari favor Charles over Sebastian.

You and the rest of the forum literally refused to acknowledge Lewis being cheated out of his rightful WDC in 2021
Refused to Acknowledge him literally destroying the entire grid (that wasn't in a RB) in 2023 including Charles
Made excuses as to WHY Ferrari shouldn't sign Lewis over Sainz, including that Sainz would be a better teammate (LOL WHAT!)

These opinions aren't just ridiculous, they have all shown to be basically false.

So flip that Mirror around and take a hard look.

"I think that what Lewis has done by deciding to join Ferrari is the most magical thing he could have done," Mansell said. "The team is ultra-competitive. They could go for the championship next year. I don’t care what anybody says about Lewis. He is a class act. I have always been a fan of his."

“It won’t be easy going against [Charles] Leclerc but I think it will be healthy," Mansell said. "Some people might see Lewis as an underdog but I think those people would be making a huge mistake if they do that. I think he will surprise everybody. It might take him a couple of tests to get comfortable but I see a total resurgence at Ferrari."

""That is not to say Charles won’t give him a run for his money and he has some weekends where he does everything perfectly.

"But you have to do it more consistently. Lots of people win races but putting championships together is a different story.

"I will go out on a limb and I will guarantee that, if Lewis can find his motivation, he has got another championship in him. Easily.

[AmuroRay]

I'm going to need you all to own up to these comments about Sainz being a better fit than Lewis.

Just say you have bad takes and I'll shut up. This thread is so scared of Lewis you guys are literally fabricating reasons to discredit him. It shows Why he is absolutely the greatest racer of all time.

I don't know what that means - please tell me. Is Charles the guy Lewis already beat last year? Or what about Vettel, Or Kimi, or Fernando, or literally everyone else.

Lewis is out here taking on the best in the world and coming out on top and you think Charles, a guy who has won nothing, is going to stop him?

Maybe Charles would be a challenge for Max, but Lewis already has beaten the previous world champions times over. Max should worry about padding his numbers now that the RB team is angry over the lack of Bonuses. Perez will likely be out - maybe RB will give Max an actual good partner and not low end midfielders so he can feel better about himself.

Can't wait until they call Roman Grosjean or Mazepin out of retirement to be Max's teammate. Then you all can continue to pretend that Max actually competed with someone worth a damn.
