@Bridger Yeah thats wild. Must just be the car vs their driving style. Kimi seems to be a natural talent and a fast learner. Rooting for him, he's probably going to be one of the giants of F1.
While i still feel like the car has been THE major factor in WDC lately, Kimi just seems to have a gift. Strikes a contrast with Lando of last season, to me at least.
Last year the McLarens were super close. When Max was winning he was miles ahead of his teammate. Kimi is pulling a Max this year.
-
@WhiskeySandwich - I agree Kimi could be great. If he wins this year and goes into the next season even more confidence at this age, provided the car remains competitive, he will be a force to be reckoned with

I recommend Brawn the Impossible Formula 1 Story documentary on BBC if you haven't seen it. Crazy to think this happened in 2009. I cannot imagine it could happen again.

One thing less for the bulls to worry about
-
Anybody else kinda bored with F1 this season? I'm psyched for Antonelli getting the WDC, but this new gen has caused me to lose a bit of interest.
-
Hamilton's not that far behind given how much Antonelli has won. so I'd pretty exciting this year

In general, I really dislike the new regs. Sure we have a few teams very close to each other at the front. But I hate that the poor sods have to back off the speed in the fast corners. This supposed to be the pinnacle of motor sport. Leave the e-shit to the woke-formulae.....
-
It was also really stupid to change PU and chassis regs, AND distribution, all at the same time. They’re suffering from their stupidity there. It’s just not a good viewing experience anymore and they squandered the opportunity they had to grow the sport exponentially.
Think it, be it.

I never understood having hybrid motors when they use cargo jets to fly all over the world. Not to mention the private jets. F1 does not appeal to people who buy hybrids, in general.
I wish they’d just go back to NA.

I’m a huge Lewis fan, so I’m still rooting for him. Saw him win the championship in Abu Dhabi and I’m more than happy to go for a drink with him anytime.
Who’s looking forward to the new Saudi track with a 20-storey high first corner. Get me in that crazy swimming pool!

Partially retracting the above…some of the drive skill this year is damn impressive
-
The Mad Ring was not as crazy as I thought it would be. Lots of corners, to the left and right.....with maximum quantity of close walls on both sides. One of the tracks of all time.....
so,
Baku will be more interesting.....right? -
Read this today, and smiled....
There’s a lot to like about Isack Hadjar
Formula 1 drivers, eh?
They don’t make ’em like they used to.
Fifty years after Niki Lauda was burnt to a crisp and returned a few weeks later – looking like a roast chicken, as one F1 reporter put it at the time – here comes Isack Hadjar taking a whole month away with a hurty wrist.

They cant ALL be like Lance....lol
