100% agree with this assessment. Versus what was ultimately another Verstappen win. The heart wins on this one.

Could be. It's basically regurgitated info from Famin's Beyond the Grid podcast interview.

The state of Motorsport news journalism seems pretty rough in general I'd say

Wow what a stat 🙈

Sure but Bottas has years of experience in the best team on the grid. For the rookies (hence why I mention Mazepin), they have no testing time so they have to just figure it out on track. If you're driving the 2021 Haas for example, which literally changed shape due to overheating, how are you meant to compete?

He's never been in hardware where he could show much. The same thing happened to Mick (and Mazepin to a lesser extent). He's been putting in more than competent drives for several seasons. You would say the same about Piastri if McLaren were still at the back

Has Bottas shone a light on himself performance-wise during his time partnering Zhou?

I get what you mean but I'm not quite so sure it's a driver quality issue

Feel bad for him. I hope he still has a drive next year

Tbf Bearman doesn't have other options. He's getting a fingernail on his seat, he really hasn't done enough yet to prove anything else.

Piastri DOMINATED in f2 and then it took him a full year out from racing to get on the grid. Bearman is nowhere near that level. So he takes what he can get in my opinion and fair play to him. 25% of the grid British drivers though. Looking forward to the Brazilian invasion in a few years!

Yes aware of this but they were still the best at pit stops in maybe 2019/2020, it was one saving grace for them. Before the larger tyres came in only them and red bull were knocking out sub 2s stops on the regular.

I guess Dorilton Capital don't value fast stops so much. Boggles my mind that teams work that hard on aero for hundredths of a second and then give away 2s on shit stops!

Would not have some Ferrari were quick so congratulazioni ragazzi!

I assume the points are f1 top ten points but im still surprised by the order. Wtf happened to Williams, they used to be dons at fast stops

Yes I like how they've used the flag to represent when the car will skid off the track /s

I like Hungaroring, it has good overtaking areas and generally I found the race quite interesting. I love seeing a move develop through multiple corners and that is one of the best tracks for that

Ah yeah, good point

True but they 100% would have agreed the strategy at the start of the race and Norris has just gone "yeah nah"

They're probably still discussing it

If Max had taken them both out, which was entirely possible, then we'd be looking at this very differently. He's definitely very unsettled now which is showing in his driving and radio

3 records in two races for Lewis. Lovely stuff

Mmm about 15 laps ago! 😬

Boycott them purely for how they treat their staff. Fuck em

I do hope Hadjar makes it because he is going to be a Marmite figure for sure. He SCREAMS down the radio but is already much mellower this year compared to last

Lawson not getting a seat still baffles me when he proved he can do the job. If I was Fittipaldi say I would be wondering if there was much point being in the programme

There are two YouTubes. One is the "creator" YouTube, algorithms, numbers blah blah

The other is the actual content creator YouTube. These are the channels that people actually follow. If captain disillusion set up his own RSS feed for videos, and I had the method to subscribe to it, I'd no longer need YouTube

The argument that YouTube has the algorithm and recommendations etc is moot, that's the same job that every network does, you could absolutely replace this

The video content would have to be self hosted probably. How it used to be. So we need all these tools to eat YouTube's lunch
