This should speak highly of The Scud's engineering and strategy actually. They made a WDC with a drunk who was half asleep in the car.

well that was good. The wheel banging pass between Vettel and Riccy was some standing up yelling and jumping up and down in my lounge room, with my girl screaming SHUT UP because she couldn't hear the commentators over me. There was real tension until about half way, three quarters when it was clear Vettel wasn't going to reel in Hamilton. Remember when a certain group of people would talk about Vettel being only able to race from the front? Yeah, it's a stupid and hyperbolic as it sounds. Verstappen was spectacular and amazing and quite frankly anyone that doesn't like him isn't a real Formula One fan.

They all look the same. Also it's just the specific moment of Schumacher's engine blowing and Alonso blowing past him and fist pumping the air.

If you can submit one of your essays that has salient points on why this rule would apply to Max Verstappen and not (for example) Lewis Hamilton, I'll make Max Verstappen my P1 pick on gppredictor for the rest of the season.

Nobody disputes Hamilton's talent, he's just a dry lunch. There are a lot of people in this thread claiming Verstappen is a bad driver, which is patently not true and is more than likely just lazy attempts to get a rise out of people.

Disputing talent is one thing- it was the "If you don't like him..." part that threw me. Especially coming from someone who really doesn't like Lewis for what I'm assuming is similar reasons to why people don't like Max.

Verstappen is really the true innovator the sport needs. Now as long as he doesn't start hitting women he will probably be in F1 for the next 20 years :swoon:

Not liking Lewis and not liking Max as a person are not the same thing.

The reason we don't like Lewis is that he acts like complete tit outside of the car and has done so for the past 10 years.

The reason some people in this thread don't like max is that he's a rather fugly and very talented teenage boy who gets to drive a race car.

I just want to see how Verstappen handles himself when he has something on the line, i.e. he's in contention for the WDC (who knows, that may be this year).

Specifically, the day he makes a mistake that costs him something important and the youth-given invulnerability field evaporates. Then you see what's left underneath it- a superstar like Schumacher or another career midfielder.


E: I don't think it was shown on TV but for all the (rightful) mocking of Bottas for spinning under the safety car, Max was a gnats' foreskin away from doing the exact same thing.

Max hosed it up and lost his place to Vettel, then bitched because he couldnt pass a Haas and then his partner didnt want to pass him because team orders. He is garbage.

Max Verstappen is incredibly talented because he has the ability to pass cars that are much worse than his.
