@Giles said in Motor Sport:

I think this maybe Lando's one chance

I agree with this, but he needs to find his inner mongrel and get his elbows out.

I feel like he can be a bit too self-critical and reflective, which are not necessarily the best ingredients to win championships.

@Giles

I feel like last year was Lando’s to win but the “two #1s” bullshit, strategic misfires even beyond that flawed premise, and his own mistakes (in that order) torpedoed his chance.

OK. Second chance.

I feel it is similar to my feelings of why I would like Lewis to win another, to right the wrongs,

[mclaincausey]

@Giles again,

[Bridger]

Coincidentally, today is exactly one year since Lewis won his last GP at Spa.

[Danimal506]

@Giles I can’t argue with that. I would love to see Lewis win it in a Ferrari!

[louisbosco]

@Danimal506 he would be canonised in Italy if that happens. for my sake and yours, I hope he does..

[Danimal506]

@louisbosco Praise be to Saint Hamilton

[louisbosco]

@Danimal506 there, there. let's not get ahead of ourselves...

[Danimal506]

@louisbosco Hahahah I’ll stick with Sir Lewis for now

[Bridger]

Well played Lando. Well done McLaren for letting them rip.

Seems the only similarly paired driver team

[louisbosco]

fuck the Ferrari strategist/ engineers/ team principal

[mclaincausey]

Great race. Huge from Lando. Gutted for Charles and Lewis. Ferrari are clowns. Why can’t their F1 team be more like their WEC team? Just embarrassing.

Surely the Ferrari execs must have asked this question. They need to sort this shit out before 2026.

Has anyone been to the Silverstone Festival? Any good?

This weekend is going to be a free-for-all.

@WhiskeySandwich just finished watching FP2 for F1….they don’t even need the rain to come in to make it spicy. The drivers and the wind are doing enough. Can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow for Quali and Sunday.

[Danimal506]

Lance Stroll coming in hot!

That's what he said

[Bridger]

I know Max has mixed reception here. I think it will be interesting to see if Ford can give him what Honda did. (I would back Honda over Ford any day)

[WhiskeySandwich]

Well that was fairly unexpected. Shitluck for Lando. Blows my mind how Sainz got the same penalty as Antonelli, whose move was far more egregious. Great run by Hadjar
