It's raining cats and dogs in Northern Italy.
Imola should be OK this Friday and Saturday, but thunderstorms are expected for the race this Sunday (race start scheduled at 3pm local time).

A couple of 2021 F1 stats about Verstappen:
Despite its excellent skills and vast experience, Mercedes decided not to pit Hamilton for soft tires during the safety car stage resulting from the Latifi crash. And additionally, despite his excellent skills and vast experience, Hamilton misjudged Verstappen during the notorious final lap: race leader Hamilton, fully aware that he was tailgated by Verstappen in the final lap, left a considerably big gap on his left side upon Turn 5 approach: Hamilton must have assumed that Verstappen had planned an overtake attempt at a later turn. But Verstappen struck straightaway: he went for the gap and outsmarted his 7xWDC main rival in Turn 5 in a proper, WDC title worthy, way. Hamilton's Turn 5 exit speed was compromised. The end. Mercedes appealed the 2021 Abu Dhabi final lap race decision. FIA dismissed the appeal. Mercedes has rest its case. Hamilton has rest his case. It's your choice to allow Verstappen and/or Masi to keep on living rent free in your head because of the 2021 Abu Dhabi race. The 2021 F1 season consisted of 22 races and 3 Sprint events. It's 2024 now, about time to move on, Marcoose. By the way, two more words defining the 2021 F1 season: Silverstone Heist.

The most memorable season of that era of cars for me. Full of chaos, think there was many moments where the championship battle could have changed if the outcome was tiny bit different. My personal favourite Bottas playing snooker at Hungary and cleaning up both RBs and Norris in the process. Ocon having the field part like hes Moses. Hamilton brake magic lockup in Baku Ver parking it ontop of Ham clearing the way for an Mcl 1-2 and Ric win. Russel giving Bottas a whack after that crash in Imola Norris chucking away a P1 in the wet in Russia Leclerc taking pole in front of the tfosi then ending in the wall unable to start the next day Jeddah Ver Q3 purples then into the wall, Ham hitting Ver in race trying to give the place back. Just the ones that come to mind! |

History is so convenient when we can hyperfocus on one race and forget that Max was crashed out by a pathetic and desperate driver at Silverstone, crashed out by their teammate in Hungary and still finished 9th with one side of their barge board missing, etc... It's almost like he would have clinched the championship before Abu Dhabi.
I get it Lewis fans, you've been struggling to accept that maybe your boy isn't the greatest of all time and that Max is very obviously a superior driver top to bottom. Every record Max breaks, it gets harder and harder to cope with it. All that's left now is "muh championships" because Max has dominated almost every other metric. Bringing up 2021 in every thread and every page makes it even more desperate. Last edited by NYG; 05-16-2024 at 10:50 AM.. |

I think it was in the 2019 Monaco GP ...
MAX finally got his first opportunity to attack LEW ! MAX moved up to P2 , but he received a 5 sec. penalty for an unsafe pit release demoting him to P4 . Yeah LEW : It was 'that guy !

F1 1988 Monaco GP Qualies: Senna was operating on a different level: Senna (P1 - McLaren Honda) 1.427s clear of Prost (P2 - McLaren Honda), 2.687s clear of Berger (P3 - Ferrari) and 3.299s clear of Alboreto (P4 - Ferrari): Race: Senna was comfortably leading the race. His race engineer told him to slow down. But Senna didn't settle for the race win, no, he was determined to also lap his main rival and team mate Prost to show his dominance. Race leader Senna crashed in lap 66/67 out of 78, squandering the 9 race win points. Prost won the race, getting the 9 race win points. Nevertheless, Senna managed to get the WDC that season (90 points). P2 for Prost (87 points).

Redbull is also operationally doing the right thing to secure WDC and WCC to pair Max with a driver that they know cannot challenge Max. Redbull has zero interest in fielding two competitive drivers. They've seen what happened with Mercedes (who've historically had no issues with fielding two of the best drivers on the grid). They want someone who can reliably place right behind Max. Max is obviously a great and talented driver, but Redbull/Jos would not allow for a 2nd driver that challenges him. Max has never had a strong teammate. Danny (who was good, but didn't do much), Gasly (GP2 champ), Albon, and Checo. Meanwhile, Lewis has had the strongest teammates out of any driver possibly ever: Alonso (beat Schumacher back-to-back for WDC), Button (WDC driver), Rosberg (WDC driver), Bottas (GP3 champ), and now Russell (F2, GP3 champ). Personally, I think they're doing his legacy a disservice even though Redbull is doing the right thing to secure championships. When comparing the greatest drivers, Max will undoubtedly come up and someone will immediately say a rebuttal with the fact that he's never had to fight a teammate for the championship. People will immediately see these as default championships because of an OP car and a second-rate teammate. Of course, Max can only beat what's in front of him and it's unfair to think this way, but the reality is that this is an important factor to benchmark a driver. |

Talented driver with the fastest car on the grid and an engine freeze that basically prevented anyone from catching up. |
