I'll wait.....

If you were Max you'd continue but straight across the gravel not turning until you reach the peripheral grass then re-join the track

Second, I get the anybody but HAM part as well. I wish it was more anybody but HAM and VER or RB/MB to be totally honest. The part I disagree with is that when they spend every day for years bashing HAM/MB/Toto they way they do and will continue to do so until HAM etc is gone...............I can't agree that they don't have some serious deep negative feelings/even hatred towards them. There is just too much evidence to the contrary. Think about that, literally every day in every thread no matter the topic................

Again, I get it but VER is the only one with a chance to take down HAM & MB. But my $$$$$ is still on HAM. TOO many fast tracks left & HAM's luck is off the charts. Hoping for more parity next year.

Who knows, maybe Ferrari will get it right next and I'll be a war with 2-MAX-Crew

Still wish BMW had stayed in F1. I don't get the MB / BMW dynamic...To me MB is kinda the enemy unless one owns both

I still think VER will win it unless he or RB does something really stupid. Or of course a DNF that is out of their control. HAM/MB basically have to win out and I think that is a lot harder to do than just hang on like VER has to.

I hope Ferrari does to, I like Carlos and Charles a lot as drivers.

I've never made my personal car purchases based on mass marketing or who drives what in racing. It used to be simple, I liked BMW for track cars and we love our C63S for a fun street car. Tough to beat the TT V8 viscerally compared to the TT I6 IMO. Now though the direction BMW gone has really muddied the waters IMO for that easy distinction. Not a lot appeals to me from BMW anymore except the current F series M2s, especially the CS version at the moment. I resisted Porsche forever but since having my 6MT Cayman 4.0 for the last year, it would be pretty tough for me to go back to MB or BMW for a fun sports car. I know not fair etc but it is what it is.

I do wish BMW would've stayed in F1 though to if anything just for the competition/fun factor. I respect race teams that build their own engines etc a lot more than others.

Agreed, if not for lower back problems I would have never left Porsche for BMW...ENJOY!!!

That is so bad as a response its almost depressing, I'm genuinely not sure if yourself and //Mpower person is doing this as trolls and you do't actually follow the sport.

The level of knowledge in responses seems either inflammatory or just plain poor to be frank.

Negative mate . We just post from what actually is going on in F1 .

It's nothing special , but the reality is always involved !

Pushing the edge is one thing but I don't want my team down right cheating.

Although the specifics were sealed it is believed Ferrari was allowing oil to leak and burn for increased power. That's blatant cheating and I would have fired Binotto for it.

Lol idk Ferrari does stupid stuff at times.


Btw hope you get better soon.

FWIW, Alonso does not use the term alienate. His actual quote is much less inflammatory: "Lewis has a different lifestyle to many of us and that seperates him a little bit from the rest".

The article of course leaves out "a little bit" from the headline and uses the term alienate.

I always prefer the driver with the most race wins to win the driver's championship (see ROS in 2016) and it's 9 vs 6 in Max's favor. Looking at Poles and laps led he has really dominated this year and made very few unforced errors.

I have no problem with Max winning, although if so, I would prefer it be by more than 1 point (see RAI/HAM/ALO in 2007 or HAM/MAS in 2008).

Sorry to hear/see, obviously hope you cover quickly. I have family and friends that have had the same thing done (not on the head), no fun.

LOLOL, I would love for charles to pair up with George at merc. Give him a good car (technically ferrari should be a top team and be capable of giving charles the car to compete but that doesn't seem to be the case) and then we can truly see what the top 3 of the future generation can do.
