I think George came across pretty well in DTS, some people just want to hate him for reasons. Williams were at the back for years, the thread is in agreement that paddy Lowe was a failure so gr saying as much is not a surprise.

The dude not only is the only Merc engine in the top 10, he was the only person to get into q 3 using mediums.

Lewis wae pretty honest that the car is not where they want to be so they are having to push set ups harder, and sometimes you push it too far and the performance falls off a cliff.

Checo doing the lap of his life is going under the radar, even though he did it in a car+tyre combination that wdc* max said was undrivable.

George’s whole “wizened veteran of the sport” schtick where he talked about how Valt was bad cause a Mercedes should not be fighting for p9 or whatever was extremely irritating. Idk what it is about Anglosaxons but all the Britbongs, Canadians and Australians in the sport are just mediocre drivers with overinflated egoes and they’re hyped to hell and back by posters here and by the Anglo press.


I watch cycling and it's always like this with the anglophonic riders, especially when the press are english-speaking and blow their egos up lol. They love adopting some kind of tough-guy image and then whining to the press that they have to ride 200KM in the rain. At least Amerikkkans are a bit humbled thanks to the whole Lance Armstrong thing happening in everyone's memories.

The seven time champ is not very good is an all time take.

It's not rare though, there are quite a few 7 time champs in motorsports and someone is always ready to say how they really weren't very good.

You would be a 7 time WDC as well if you just drove into it uncontested. The two times he had actual challengers for the WDC in the last 8 years he cracked under the pressure and lost them both.

I have maintained the opinion that Hamilton isn't great and it was all the car this entire time :colbert:

Dirk Pitt posted:

What did George do to upset the thread? he crashed into Big Valtteri last year is all I know

Russel was much more tolerable when everyone saw him as Mr. Saturday - the scrappy underdog dragging performance out of the car. (Albon is showing us that there was always performance in the car, Latifi is just poo poo).

Ever since rumours started circulating that George was next in line for Bottas' seat he's taken on the weird "tow the company line"/corporate mouthpiece persona that leads to things like his "racing for P9" rant or this tweet from Abu Dhabi


Now that he actually has the seat, he's acting as if he is owed WDC's just for being a Merc driver and his bit on DTS showed a similar kind of arrogance.

gently caress outta here with that attitude. I hope the guy never wins a race.

it's not very new lol, people don't like drivers where the bulk of their titles came in dominant cars against clear B-driver teammates


granted this describes a lot of championships but it's why people still don't particularly love Vettel or Schumacher (or maybe that's just the english-speaking media being biased)

Max* is going to get past the two Ferraris because of their straight line speed deficit and then, enraged at a lack of team orders, is going to try inexpertly to get past Perez, thereby causing a double DNF and a second straight weekend for RB with zero points.

Release my children! My hat is truly great and mighty.

If you think RB would ever refrain from issuing very prompt team orders if it looked like Verstappen had greater race pace than Perez (or possibly even if he didn't, but at this stage they'll probably just want to secure P1 and if possible P2), well, hope springs eternal I suppose.

Yeah Perez is only ever finishing ahead of Max in situations where it's to deny Leclerc or whoever the maximum points benefit over Max.
