What did F1 do the 7yrs Merc dominated? Don’t recall if anything.

Was glad to see RB take them down, but 2yrs is enough, glad AM is close.

It's astonishing to me that Mercedes has not fixed their car in the 2nd year of these rules, and a little less surprising that McLaren are going backwards. I don't think Red Bull are making any leaps, everyone else except Aston Martin is failing to keep up.

Jos is such a prick.

I don't know how anybody can root for Max, unless your are Dutch. Such an unlikable set of characters. Even on the Redbull side Horner and Helmut kinda act like dicks sometimes. Only person I like on that team is Newey. Just nothing but respect for him.

Engine modes and rake height were the two that come to mind. Tyre rules as well.

Shortened the floor in 2021 as I recall.

Allegedly Merc has a car in the tunnel that looks nothing like the current car. Who knows if that is true though. Even so, Merc isn't clawing 1.5seconds a lap this year.

I'm not really a RB fan, but the sport needs some assholes.

They're somehow different from Toto however. He's an a-hole that I don't care for.

Did anyone mention the Saudi national anthem earlier? That sounded like a middle school band, I couldn't stop laughing.

Will Lewis Hamilton ever win another F1 race?

No driver has won a race after their 300th race. Lewis had his 103rd victory back in 2021, and obviously hasn't won since.

I’m a fan of RBR, lean more to Max but like Checo as well.

It would have to be something personal, because Joe knows Checo is no threat to Max. This is not Nico vs Lewis. More like Bottas.

Lando needs to get out of that McLaren contract. Then we really see Jos lose it.

Can say the same about Toto and Hamilton… they are the same, just different styles.

Hamilton is a hypocritical douchebag that plays nice in front of a camera, whereas Max doesn’t hide his stripes.

What happened to McLaren? Good driving by Sargeant to hold them off for so long.

They were both in the pits within the first two laps. Piastri for damage to front wing. Not sure about Norris.

Pretty sure Norris has to change a wing as well.

Piastri had wing damage on the first lap.

And Norris ran over Piastri's wing.

McLaren having a tough start to the year.
