The oil burn cheat is actually ingenious, although I think it should rightfully be banned given the whole green aspect of these hybrid engines.

I always loved the mass damper, it was such a clever idea and I'm pretty sure no one else thought of it.

I can't believe Hack Clown is about to throw away Ron Dennis' masterplan, just when it was going to deliver an Honda engine with power and reliability like the world has never seen. Hmm actually I can.

He and Alonso, the mentally sick driver who is probably still whining out of jealousy for Palmer's skill and youth, are really made for each other.

They are doing irreparable damage to the best team in F1 history. This is a tragedy.

They are going to look so dumb next year when Kyvat becomes WDC. Ron Dennis must be spinning in his grave.

Bring back Ron

I like Alonso, but I think you guys seem to be ignoring that he won two WDCs with cheat cars, so the fact that he hasn't won a championship since pretty much solidifies his position as a massive fraud.

Stroll, however, probably has a good 20 years in the sport and will probably earn multiple WDCs once he unlocks his true skill.

Skarsnik: Oct 21, 2008; I...AM...RUUUDE!

he's probably the fastest driver in the field at the moment whether you like him or not, the amount of 'holy poo poo' laps he's pulled out this season is crazy

This crop of drivers are all a bunch of entitled, pampered, whiny little shits. Just like pretty much every top sportsperson of the last 10 years

The difference is, hamilton pouts and moans about when his car lets him down. That is fine, when you drive as fast as he does, in a top team, you absolutely are allowed to be annoyed when your car lets you down. Alonso gets a pass for this reason too (top team once ok?)

Vettel whines and moans when others around him are doing better than he is, so gently caress him basically.

Throwing out your toys and being a big baby when things go wrong is the emotional blackmail 2 year olds use.
At least the other drivers are just whiney teenagers.

I disagree, partially.

It's been every top sportsperson since sports started. It's just more apparent with the rise of social media.

Everything else is agreed.

lmao only about 40 seconds in until the person they're talking to in the cafeteria admits that the team doesn't get free breakfasts as the norm.

We're talking about a global vehicular powerhouse that is Mercedes which has been dominating and extremely competitive lapping up endless wins and championships... and they can't even dosh out a little bit to give free breakfast for the team.

Like Toro Rosso I wouldn't even expect to have a cafeteria/restaurant let alone a drinking fountain but Mercedes? Come on.

Imagine what our perception of the sport would be like if it had presenters and commentators that were not bitter old men bitching about everything all the god drat time. First words out of croftys mouth on Sunday was "a lot of drivers are complaining" shut the gently caress up and show some love for the sport that pays you to travel the world you prize gaggle of geriatric cunts.

Literally the only people on earth who would tell the public that Johnny Herbert of all people is a legend.

the moment stroll wins this thread will probably self harm itself into obscurity

Nah fam, I've pivoted and now I'm firmly in the Stroll camp. He is probably the most promising driver in the field and the fact that he showed up shitheel frauds like Poois Shamilton and Valsperggi Buttass in far better machinery speaks volumes about his raw talent and natural ability.

Also, Fartin Bumdle gushing over Boois on the podium was inciting the good, hard working Italian people who are open-minded and very accommodating to racing drivers who drive for terrible Nazi teams like Mercedes Benz AMG Petronas. Shameful.
