Especially when you have former drivers that give no fricks asking questions.

Can’t imagine any former American athlete grilling a coach the way Rosberg does with the team principals

It is crazy, because all the recent stories have him and Lewis becoming pretty good friends. Even vacationing together.

Not sure if Nico wants to remain somewhat independent and stays clear of Merc or if Niki being gone has removed his connection to the team.

He mentioned it pre-race… about him and Lewis being close back in the day but that they done see eye to eye now.

If everything is true about 2016 then I don't think they will ever be the friends they were. But it is nice to see they aren't throwing things at each other any longer.


Nico's shite stirring is amazing as well. Earlier in the year calling out Merc swapping chassis' as unusual even though Merc said they always did it.

Coming from Nico it is funny because he made Merc swap mechanics in 2016 which is said to be very unusual.

F1 post race show just talked about Haas. They said the two drivers refused to stand next to each other on the grid before the race.

shite is apparently real bad.

Buxton kind of insinuated that Mick is ignoring team orders.

Is Mic a dick?

I’d imagine he’s semi pissed that Maz’s daddy is running shite.

If he is like his dad he probably has the ability. I am sure he grew up hearing stories of the mind games.

He might be trying to get shipped off to Alfa

Seriously. Haas is going to be a shite team for the foreseeable future.

Great race from Checo, too bad he had to start from the pit lane. He needs to finish top 5 in Monza.

Max is in a zone right now.

It’s been basically 4 months since Max has lost without his car being incapacitated. Spain was the last time he was beaten straight up.

Wrecked at Baku and Silverstone, and had catastrophic damage in Hungary.

What were the orders? Hey mazepin needs to finish second to last instead of last?

For quali it was priority on who got the position. He had done it twice this year. fricked Mazepin's lap by overtaking him. They obviously have conflicting views.

Not sure if there was something during the race. I haven't read much more on that situation.

This seems to happen a lot at Haas, might just be shitty management.

Mazespin swerved as Mick was trying to pass on the front straight early in the race and almost drove him into the pitlane so I imagine it isn't any better now

Most boring race of the year I think honestly. Started falling asleep at the end only to startle myself awake.

What happened with occon’s pit stop. I think he had a super long pit stop they didn’t show

The strategy game for the top 3 is the only thing that really made the race interesting. The crowd being into the race helped.

With Max getting into his prime and de Vries on deck for a seat this track is probably here to stay for several years.
