This came out a few days ago...


Hmmmmmmmm......
The cars look disproportionate, with big bulky wide noses at the front; wonder why they didn't make them at least look like contemporaneous F1 cars?
Anyway, by the sounds of things, the plot line is: 60-year-old (Brad Pitt) Genius Formula 1 driver (completely plausible👍 ..bodes well for Alonso, Hamilton and Hulkenberg) figures out how to win in F1 ..We're gonna beat them in the corners, as Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin etc haven't figured that might be slightly important somehow..
It sounds like it's going to be a complete joke unless there is a comedy element,
but I'll probably watch it to play Where's Gunter:

But crazy how one small error can disrupt basically the entire world.
Puts things into perspective a little...
You don’t want to know how much of the internet depends on things that only 6 unknown people understand and take care of.

it’s scary

lol Max. I guess Max only won because of the car. Now without the top car he can’t race anymore.

Toys being thrown from Vertwaten's cockpit all over the place, he's such a bad sportsman!
Really good and enjoyable otherwise👍 even though overtaking is hellish round Hungaroring

Does Max ever take responsibility for anything? Hate team orders.

Not that I've ever witnessed.. That's why he's one of the most unpopular champions.

I don't like team orders on the whole either, but in this context, it was the right thing for Lando to give the place back.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to ban team orders; if you have a Constructors Championship running alongside a Driver's Championship, and with two very competitive drivers you can sometimes have a very real dichotomy.
This is obviously not the case with Verstabbem and the underperforming/uncompetitive de facto number two Perez.

“They’re calling it a racing incident which is what they usually do when it’s Max Verstappen’s fault”: Ted Kravitz

“I went for a move that was fully on, but then in the middle of the braking zone, when I’m already committed of course to the move, he suddenly just keeps [moving] right, and if I wouldn’t have turned while braking straight, I would have made contact with him. So I went in the air," Verstappen said.

“And I feel like now it was not on the initial move but afterward, during the braking zone [Lewis] keeps turning right - you cannot do that when someone’s committed to the inside. That’s why I locked up because otherwise, we would have collided anyway because he would have just turned in on me,” he added.

The best response I have heard to this...

It's called a turn Max...

It's not like Jos has anger issues and ever been convicted of assault or arrested for domestic violence...
