Lando is coming. He’s a two years away from a title imo.

Maybe we’ll actually have a title race this year?

I can go back to pulling for Mclaren now that they have a proper engine again.

Agreed, just another reason F1 will struggle to gain widespread fans in the US. Making up a lap “just because” is bullshite.


It happened last year in one of the races where there were a lot of retirements. Raikkonen was a lap down and allowed to unlap himself, ended up finishing in the points. Pretty sure he passed russell for 10th near the very end.

Ok, then explain it to me, I am one of those people who don’t understand and am therefore not a fan.

We are setup for a great season. Max Vs Lewis for the title and then you’ve got a real battle for 3rd between for both drivers and the constructors cup.

We can use this race. Hamilton would be the 4th person in line despite him being 8th (I think).

If they go to restart it would allow the front of the pack to get away while showing Hamilton (and the other backmarkers) blue flags before turn one. It is safety as well as sport.


Use a hypothetical scenario, Hamilton had just passed a chain of backmarkers to put 5 cars between himself and 2nd place. Red flag (or caution) comes out. How far could Hamilton get out front before 2nd place has cleared those 5 backmarkers? 2nd place would lose much more time than they were before the red flag.

Note that this usually happens, but not always. The race director could see that the caution isn't going to last long enough for the backmarkers to catch back up with the field so he won't allow them to unlap.

Mclaren looks really bad now for how that relationship went down.

Imagine they win the title and walk out on that.

I feel like Russell is picking a fight with the wrong guy in that interview

Russell said a lot. Bottas said what needed to be said.

Agreed.

Also, Mercedes is where Russell wants to end up. Talking like that doesn’t help get you there.

Hell they had a Mercedes unit right before that and couldn't do a damn thing with it if I remember right?

Who is making their engine now? Seems like it worked out either way.
