Chelsea14Ian Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I'm not a fan of Verstappen. Just think he often likes playing bumper cars.No doubt with Red Bull this season he has a very good car.Its true its not over until the big girl sings.Think Lewis will try at least one more World Championship. For the future Britain has some exciting drivers,and I think soon there could be a woman getting a seat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowrights Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Verstappen seems to have a novel approach to cornering, if it's a left hand corner head right! Superlatives galore yesterday from the GOAT. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 It is confusing the hell out of me, Rear wing broken, RB can repair it x3 times without penalty yet MB sent to the back of the grid and as for overtaking on a corner I thought you had to be halfway passed the other car to claim the corner.

Bikertov Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 But what a drive from Lewis. From the back of the grid in the sprint, having a 5 place grid penalty for a new engine unit, to winning the race. Amazing ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeePee1952 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 What doesn't impress me (mild description to stay within the TOS ) is the fact that teams can pit their car(s) during the last couple of laps so that they can grab a point for the fastest lap With the amount of rules in place now (and I think some are irrelevant), why not add another rule in preventing teams pitting during the last half a dozen laps, unless there is massive tyre degradation? I know it could be difficult to monitor but hey - it seems the FIA/stewards make their own minds up to suit the event anyway!! LH drove and absolutely stunning and masterful race in my opinion, most probably the best of his career and justice was served!

If a driver has built up enough of a gap to the next car to allow a pit stop, and wants to take the risks involved - remember they can and do go wrong sometimes - then good luck to them. Surely it is all part of the tactics ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, remember Bottas coming in for new tyres and one wheel wouldnt come off so he was out of the race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrumpyCheddar Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hamilton thinks he has problems with Max… Just wait for next year when he gets George Russell as his new team mate. .The team mate Hamilton didn’t want.. George will be his biggest Threat.. Lets hope so 🤣🤣🤣 It would be great to see Max win his first Championship.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Verstappen doesn't do a decent Schumacher impression in the remaining races,as he was halfway to one on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 One things for sure if Lewis wins the championship. Verstappen with throw his toys out of the pram. Come on Lewis! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to learn a little humility first. LH hasn’t been my favourite driver for some time, but Verstappens attitude to other drivers is abominable. It’s okay to have ambitions, but not by attempting to maim your closest rival to the title. Mr Horners comments about LH at Silverstone were quite uncomplimentary, but he seems to have condoned Max’s antics since, including at Monza and Brazil. That said, I do hope that George Russell has something to say about Verstappen and Hamilton next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExSurveyor Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Max still has to mature a little bit but I am glad he is making it difficult for Lewis. Not having an easy run will get him used to having George Russell as an equal next year. I think Lewis will get No. 8 this year and then it is open to Max, George and Lewis next year. Mercedes engines seem to have been less reliable this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
