I usually get the other guy as well. Are you his alt?

Straw man?

And I'm wrong, why? Because Perez had a good finish to the season? Wait, I thought he was bad.

Sports fans like you are just tedious. Have a bitchin off season.

Why is anyone else necessary when just 1 person can get you to show your foolishness?

Is that what you call it when your arguments aren’t supported by reality?

There it is!

Tell us, what was your favorite part about Perez’s “good finish to the season”?

Was it being passed by a slower car on the last lap in Brazil?

Was it being passed by a slower car on older tires on the last lap in Vegas?

Or was it picking up a penalty for causing a collision with a slower car, and then having to be literally handed 2nd place on the track on the last lap by a different slower car in Abu Dhabi?

People like you that don’t understand the difference between qualifying and a Grand Prix are pointless.

You keep proving me right. Perez is battling it out with the others and Max is long gone.

Even when he's being run down early. Watch the first coupe of laps again. Watch Max shut down LeClerc corner after corner. It ain't just the car.

Sorry your butt hurts.

could see him going to merc after Lewis retires. Not anywhere else that’s really a step up (no top driver is going to RBR while max is there).


By the end of this season Ferrari was the clear 2nd fastest car

If proving you right means allowing you to flaunt your stupidity, then yea I’m definitely doing that.

And you somehow thinks this proves you right. That the car is nothing special and Perez is a great driver.

Just like with bottas, what point do you think you’re making here? Alex albon has been very hard to pass this year too in a Williams, what does that mean?

What does verstappen winning another race by 15+ seconds do for your argument?

What does him winning by 5+ seconds with a broken front wing after serving a 5 second penalty last week do for your argument?

What does Horner’s commentary about the greatness of the car today do for your argument?

Sorry you don’t know the difference between qualifying and a race despite watching F1 for longer than I have.

So to break up the bickering...

For us first season F1 fans, what does the schedule look like going into next year? What does the offseason look like as far as what to watch?

There’s not really a whole lot going on during the offseason. You have a little bit of silly season as seats are secured, but other than that, we wait.

Not a whole lot, unless something unexpected is announced. Journalists will make a mountain out of a mole hill on any comments, but it's otherwise pretty quiet until livery reveals. Then, we get to testing where me all make wildly inaccurate predictions based on glory runs.

use the offseason to watch old races or learn technical things.

I look up from reading this post at the gas station and see a Haas F1 factory outlet work truck (Nissan frontier) pull up next to me. Strange.

In my dream-world I would love to sew Kyle Larson take the second spot with Red Bull behind Verstappen next year. He starts practicing with the car and track style right now. How many races into next season before he is competitive? How many races before he is starting to approach Max's pace?



Other than not being close to meeting the super license requirements, he also didn't win any of the street races this year and looking at his wiki page, looks like he came up racing ovals, not karting. So it would likely take a while for him to be competitive and he would never be close to verstappen's pace.

Lawson is the next person in the Red Bull driver circus. They would be crazy to take anyone else.

7 Sainz 200
8 Russell 175
9 Piastri 97
10 Stroll 74



Sainz going from 4th to 7th hurt. Tough two weeks for him. Freaking Vegas crap screwed him.

I thought they should have went with the same tire as everyone else and just let him try and work his way up by just being a faster car instead of trying to gamble on pit strategy.

Also, my TV recorded some kids broadcast instead of the regular one. It was ridiculous. Although they weren't as bad as you'd expect, listening to 12-14 year old's for an entire race is pretty brutal, especially it being the last race of the season. Cartoon graphics and only showing the top 8 places on the screen, pretty annoying.

Edit: Apparently I'm not alone with the kids broadcast

Give us a pre season picks to final standing rankings! Curious to see how everyone did.

Also, Logan Sargeants season has to go down as one of the worst in the past decade or so right? I'm only a few years into F1 but I think his season was worse than even LaGoats seasons at Williams. They actually had a pretty decent car at times this year. Exceeding track limits twice in Q1 was like a perfect ending to his season. Dude just isn't an F1 driver.

Someone posted a video of Max interviewing Alonso after the race... it was lighthearted, but Alonso asked Max what he would be doing on the break and he mentioned going somewhere and Max said they should meet up.

All to throw more fuel into the speculation of course.
