Lol. Whirly alert siren mercifully less irritating during race. Flight postponed.

 

Max is NOT having it!

 

F U Verstappen you cheater

 

Yeah. The Jr Red Bull driver Spinouta caused the caution so stick that in your conspiracy pipe and smoke it

After allowing that BS force off track it’s far more likely they only gave Verstappen the black and white after Hamilton already made the pass but wouldn’t have done shit if Hamilton was still behind

 

Too bad Mercedes didn’t shit can Bottas sooner. Talk about a waste of a great seat. Really looking forward to Russel next year. Gonna be Drama at Mercedes. Already looking forward to Netflix Drive the year after next

 

Awesome pass.

 

Oh and I thought I heard 0.2mm earlier in today’s broadcast. At least that’s how I translate naught point 2

 

HDS - Hamilton Derangement Syndrome

 

so there are 2 more rounds if i saw correctly? if Hamilton wins the next two or stays a spot ahead of Max, he'll win?
was calculating the points awarded and difference in standings.

 

3 races

 

Hamilton under investigation for loosening his seat belts before returning to parc ferme…don’t know what the penalty is for that.

 

Live by the sword, die by the sword.


Or catch the sword flat in the palms of your hands, wrench it from your opponent, and then use it to strike down upon said opponent with great vengeance and furious anger.

 

"Audi has bought McLaren in a deal that gives the German manufacturer complete control over the whole group and secures it an entry into Formula 1"

McLaren says it's not true and the ownership structure is staying the same. We'll see...
With the indycar stuff I'd be surprised if it was true honestly

 

That doesn't make a lot of sense, in light of VAG's recent strategic moves. They have been trying to rebrand themselves as a green group since the diesel scandal. Big push into electric cars, including racing Formula E. Even Bentley is scheduled to become an electric rent. They just sold Bugatti to Rimac. Why would they buy McLaren now?

 

I remember earlier in the year that the teams voted to get rid of the MGU-H unit, and go with a more electric solution, to entice VAG group to join F1.

Autocar seemed to do a National Enquirer story and McLaren is looking to get the story removed.....where there's rumours though, it would be interesting since McLaren is financially not stable at all

 

Just saw the controversial pass..that looked like a d**k move by Da Baby Little Max. He totally drove across the track, and no penalty...wtf

"€5,000 for Hamilton with an additional €20,000 which is suspended through the end of 2022."

it was 0.2mm only on the right side, probably due to tolerance or DRS actuator issue

put a post in YT thread.

 

Zhou got the last open seat for 2022 in F1. Giovinazzi is out at Alfa Romeo. I think he started getting his ship together too late. Possibly even after the decision had already been made. Too bad, I still think he could have been decent. He embarrassed Gasly in GP2/F2.
