Guess thats reserved for nr 44 only though. Edited May 25, 2021 by MORNE Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1

Heartbreaking. unfortunate yes...heartbreaking though??...???? At this stage i could watch merc self implode for the rest of the season...and then i'll rewatch every race too lol. I'm so over this era of F1. Ferrari and mclaren are so close for this to be a 4 way scrap most of the time. one can only wish it stays like that next year..but it probably wont.

I agree w.r.t. merc dominating but I actually like Bottas so for me it was heartbreaking , he's proven when he's on his game that even lewis can't touch him Eddy Gordo 1

I just like to see race results come from on track performance and mistakes. Not because of mechanical issues, or pit crew etc. I fully accept that my view is not a reality but I come from a racing background where results were determined by driver vs. driver, if I was beat it was because someone simply drove better than me or out smarted me on the track. Maybe I’m too old school, hahahaha. The Ouzo 1

And for that reason i personally dont rate him much more than a descent nr 2. He’s seems like a nice guy though...but therein also lies the problem for him i think. I also fear that once he gets replaced at merc eventually his career will follow the trajectory of heiki kovalainen’s....unless he pulls finger and pull a rosberg on hamilton. But i doubt it, people underestimated how well rosberg could get under ham’s skin lol.

Those are all and have always been part of motorsport though. “luck” is when preparation meets opportunity... merc just didn't prepare well enough at monaco, evident in ham’s setup woes and botta’s pitcrew blunders
