Actually think they are two of the most aggressive drivers on the grid.
LEC is definitely not aggressive. If you're aggressive, you're always aggressive like VER. You don't choose to be aggressive. There were so many instances last year where LEC bailed out when he didn't need to and of course we all saw him bail out at Silverstone when racing beside HAM.

He himself said he changed his driving style(to be more aggressive) after the loss to Max in Austria 2019. I personally have noticed the change since then. He has definitely been in a more skirmishes since that loss to an aggressive Max.

Funny thing is Brundle said Max took it a lot easier on Leclerc in Bahrain, than he would have to Lewis.

Karting was awhile ago, and Charles grew into a better driver since then by winning both gp3 and F2 titles back to back which is an immensely impressive feat. So Charles has gotten alot better since those days, but let's see how he does now that he has a title winning car.


But those moves Charles did on max in Bahrain shows max is emotional and that isn't a good trait to have if you want to perform at your best. Emotions causes mistakes and if mind games start, emotions will cause problems.

Consider getting a quality fuel filter system, injector dynamics sells a really really really high quality fuel filter kit that is the best on the market, and is used on alot of high powered cars. The fuel filter element is also replaceable and there's a valve on it if you ever wanted to drain your fuel system.

Thanks for the tip, the fuel filter was replaced also and to drain the tank the hose at the back of the pump just needs to be slid off, one of the things that's easy to do on this car.

That's good to hear! If the fuel was that dirty I recommend some fuel system Cleaner, the Chevron techron one is legit as it utilizes PEA additives you would find in the Chevron gas, but at a higher concentration. So add a bottle of that to a full tank of gas, run through a few tanks of fuel to ensure all of the additives are gone then do an oil change (as fuel system cleaners will clean off any debris in the fuelling system and that ends up in your oil).

Yep just looked it up it is available over here, at the moment I'm just glad it runs without cutting out and just draining out that old stuff gave it a new lease of life.

Yeah just snatch a bottle when you can and run it through the fuel system, make sure to run a few tanks of gas after wards to fully remove any traces of the fuel cleaner then do an oil change and you should get an improvement. Here in North America BMWs fuel system Cleaner is rebranded Chevron techron.

Looking good for the mega speed track, Max should hold the Ferrari at those mega speeds and I can't see them getting away even with more jet mode applied around the long bends.

So is it Guanyu Zhou or Zhou Guanyu?

I have watched him introduce himself as Guanyu Zhou and google says Zhou is his last name. But everything I see F1 related and the announcers keep saying Zhou Guanyu

Chinese People and alot of Asian cultures always go on a last name first name basis, but they will say it the other way around too so it conforms to how others do it - if it is easier to understand.

I remember seeing that 20-minute footage live and direct on national TV (back in those days footage of situations like these were broadcast without restriction on national television worldwide - unthinkable nowadays).

An Austrian flag was found furled inside Senna's cockpit: he had planned to pay tribute to Austrian F1 rookie Roland Ratzenberger after the race (victory lap or podium) who had fatally crashed the day before (qualifications).

TOTALLY AGREE!!!

Personally I think this track is too dangerous. F1 shouldn't be racing there. Surprised more drivers haven't spoken up about it.
