  1. And to think that, with 10 laps to go, Karen Horner admitted that MV33 had a mountain to climb... Then Latifi showed up! And in the end LH44 and Merc fell asleep on the strategy...! Congratulations to Petrona MB on taking the Constructors’ Championship 👏🏽👏🏽
  2. Now THAT was EPIC!!!!! Well done MV33 and RBR 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Hard luck.... I wouldn’t bother to watch quite frankly! It will be like sticking needles into your eyeballs... lol
  5. Now it’s Hammer time... May the best man win
  6. Instead they have Helmet (sic)

    I could gladly lose my ten bucks bet if the Che-Leeds game finishes right now... lol Edit: Update with score at 2-2 and then it turns sour... lol
  8. I said at the beginning of the week that I was expecting LH44 to start 2nd... and in the post quali interview he indicated that he was very happy with his starting position and tyre strategy! So let’s see.... 🤞🏽
  9. Well done on a great Quali from MV33 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    This is a weird story... Don’t hold your breath, coz it seems to change on a daily
  11. Maybe you just need to use it with the windscreen so it grows on you 🤞🏽
  12. Okay.... So, MV33 has a win ratio of 9-8; better car shouldn’t be beaten right? LH44 gets a penalty for rear wing not being in spec, favoring MV33, but LH44 still wins the race...; After the race, FIA apologizes that the rear wing was actually within regulation...; Can’t see favor for LH44 in that! Same car MV33 had a 32 point lead in this championship just a few races ago! MV33 agrees to allow LH44 to pass on track, with a “strategic” objective that he fails to execute! Oh, I see you didn’t mention anything about brains... I don’t have sufficient evidence regarding the reasons for changes to the track, so I’ll give you that one... but the race is still to be run remember... Anyway, I still think that savvy could be the deciding factor in this title race.

    Tottenham v Rennes has been postponed

    Big issue for Spurs at the minute is that UEFA rules don’t allow postponement, whereas Premier League does. So the league game on Sunday can be postponed, but not the Euro game, which is a must-win for qualification...
  15. Nice idea... but recent form doesn’t see that happening. As much as I would love to see a fair race between the two championship contenders, my gut tells me it won’t happen... Let’s just consider what happened on Lap 37 in the Saudi Arabia GP, and ponder on all of the post-incident denials and accusations that came out of the RB garage.... until the telemetry proves LH44’s case, that Helmet even apologized. Who would have thought... Im not an LH44 supporter, but I think he has the savvy to claim the title.

    It’s quite concerning really... Conte is livid in his pre match presser, and understandably so. Imagine how scary it is for an Italian, coaching players in close proximity during the morning sessions, and finding out after the session that a, or more, players has tested positive.... 😳 So after that, how do you leave the club and go home to your families?! It’s a problem... especially given what was learned just last year, as well as the fact the countries have/had decided to implement a blanket international travel ban! Boggles the mind...
  17. Spot on 👌🏽 Although I’m going to hedge a guess that LH44 will prefer to start 2nd, at best.... and apply the pressure by hunting! Thats my prediction...
  18. Okay 👍🏽 So Max had to let Lewis pass as Max didn’t make Turn 2 in the earlier incident.
  19. The penalty Max received was for overtaking after not making Turn 2 after he left the track, while attempting to prevent 44 from turning in. Funny thing is, RB claimed that LH44 nearly killed by doing similar at Silverstone, although MV33 was not giving up the position in that incident whereas LH44 let Max brake late enough to take himself off the track and not make Turn 2 - shrewd
  20. I think 33 used the track to cause the incident! The aerial view clearly shows him move from the racing line to the left while 44 was approaching. Then he drifted to the right by which time 44 was very close. Then 44 realized, too late (in hindsight), that he couldn’t pass on the right so switched left while too close to the slower 33. So my question is: Why did 33 get back on the gas as the crash happened? Was he anticipating a slipstream? Was he getting away with the loot? What was he actually doing?
  21. Maybe my disdain for MadMax is compounded by my dislike for Mr SpiceGirl, JosTheBos and Helmet! And now they’ve added Toto to their band... On the drivers, I admire LH44’s will to actually race rather than obstruct his opponent. What about MV33 trying to give the position back, while anticipating the opportunity to overtake immediately... Hardly sportsmanlike. As I said to my BIL after Mexico... I still believe that brains will outfox brawn! Roll on...
  22. I cannot believe Christian Horner arguing that Max got the short end of the stick with a 5sec penalty! He insists that both drivers left the track at Turn 1-2 on Lap 27.... So, from where I was seated it looked very similar to the Brazil incident, however, in this case at least one of the cars tried to make the turn and the other not! Surely the car that brakes late and attempted to make turn, from the outside line, cannot be penalized.... 🤔 Im open to thoughts, but that’s my viewpoint for now
  23. As much as I think Max has shown some great skill, I can’t help but think of how many points he should not have been allowed to keep. Anyhow, the finale to this season is what will separate these two.... makes for an exciting finish to the F1 calendar eventually
  24. This is my first ever F1 championship that I’m rooting for LH44. Maybe it’s coz I’ve never taken a liking to the way that Max Vercrashen races. There’s no talent in obstructing your competitors at all costs!
  25. With 10 laps to go, you can’t say I didn’t warn you.... lol, lol I still think it makes the finale an exciting one... but then again, there are the Stewards....
