Maybe RB sees something in Daniel that we don’t. Let’s say he’s been given the same car as Max, I doubt that DR would be anywhere near Max’s performance.
Checo is an exceptional defensive driver, proven race winner this season too. Why gamble and replace him with a driver who left them years ago?
Brown is a very bright CEO. Toyota is proven time and time again as a formidable manufacturer. It would be amazing to see Toyota making it’s return into F1.
We noticed this and thought how clean the game was for both teams, especially the AB’s. I think I saw one Italian player that looked like he was hurt but no major issues it seems!
My 15 year old sister informed me last night that someone is pretending to be her on Instagram. The impersonator uses her photo as their profile picture and uploaded insta stories and photos of her with penises drawn on her face. This is probably the work of an teenager who dislikes her....
As others have said, more central leaning. Violence is on the rise with gang activities and rising living cost when compared to yesteryear. Insaying that, I have not witnessed any gang related activities apart from their motorcycle convoys.
Oscar is for certain going to be McLaren’s number one driver. The quicker Lando realises this, the better. Forget 2024, but 2025 can definitely be the year he moves to one of the bigger teams.
There’s no point for him to stay in Super Formula, regardless whether or not he wins the championship. It’s merely a “waiting room” for RB’s talent pool and RB is wasting his time if they order him to stay for another season.
Why don’t we bring in experts from countries that are great at building and designing efficient transport infrastructure? We should never prioritise cars.
Also, we should penalise politicians who don’t deliver their promises.
Charles, when given the right car would definitely be a serious contender for the championship. On the other hand, Ferrari has not been in years. Constant poor strategy implementation and reliability issues have repeatedly robbed both Charles and Carlos’ from podium finish or even victory.
It’s definitely something that Charles need to seriously consider.
He should drive for a competitive team. We don’t know if McLaren’s recent upgrade would translate to next year’s success, hard to say. Given the right car, Lando should be able to challenge RB. Athletes have a tendency to be loyal to their team when to the team, they’re always replaceable. Who’s to say Oscar isn’t going to be McLaren’s number 1 driver?
I wonder who from today’s grid, when given a Red Bull car is able to give Max a real challenge? Charles? Lando? I think Oscar looks promising. I don’t see anyone in RB’s current line up being on par with Max.
Hamilton is a Mercedes driver. I don’t see him even considering RB.
Whether we like it or not, age has a massive effect on driver’s performance. Lewis might still have it, Alonso too but the young guns like LEC, NOR, and PIA… They’re hungry for a championship win.
It must be something that really annoyed him. He might not be as bothered about anything else but it was definitely a mistake to have shared that publicly as people are now going to call him exactly that.
Really surprised by the performance of McLaren and Alfa Romeo. Norris himself said that he didn’t expect the car to perform better than Silverstone, so whatever recipe the team has been making in the kitchen is obviously working, good on them.
Lewis, happy to see him to finally score pole position, did I see Angela Cullen back in the garage???
Max will probably win but I sense that more effort will be required tomorrow. McLaren boys will have great fun. It would be nice to see Oscar score a podium. Alfa duo will probably fall behind as the race progress tomorrow. Perez will have to fight from the back… again. Ferrari is being Ferrari. Nico though, what a drive. I’d love to see him drive for a better team, AM? AR? Given the right car, I’m sure he’ll get a podium. Yuki was visibly unhappy with his performance, thata understandable. I’m sure AT is pleased with their decision in acquiring DR.
Four years ago I was in France for the Women's World Cup. Infrastructure was a disaster -- poor transit, chaotic venue entry/exit, long lines everywhere.
In New Zealand for this year's tournament, and holy moly, the Kiwis have this thing figured out.
In Auckland, your game ticket gets you onto buses and trains for free. Today we took the train from Britomart Station to Kingsland, then walked 2 minutes to Eden Park. 8 mins after game end, we were seated on the train home.
During qualifying, teams are limited in what compounds they can use in dry conditions. Teams are required to use the hard compound during Q1, the medium compound during Q2, and finally they can use the softs during Q3.
Having freedom in tyre choice is how lower tier teams have a go at making into Q2 and Q3. This decision would have a significant impact in their qualifying strategy. Teams with more powerful engines and faster cars aren’t going to be as affected.
