theunderstudy Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Leclerc was incredible on those hard tyres after the safety car considering his damage and the tyre advantage of all around him. That 3 way battle with the Mercedes RB and Ferrari was pure F1. If only the Alpine and McLaren could compete as having Norris and Alonso back there unable to directly get stuck in was a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any Hamilton fanboys completely invent a story about Max, going so far as to provide a false quote and a link to an article which did not say anything like what was claimed, nor had any outlet claimed a similar story. Miami GP iirc (You won't find it, I removed it a few weeks ago) To go so far as to completely invent a story to discredit a driver you don't like is very strange behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 4, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted July 4, 2022 I guess it's an inevitable consequence and in a (small) way it's a positive, because it's what comes with a sport's growing popularity. For years this thread each season was a few of us and very little chat. Now the sport has grown it gets the support and by extension the partisanship. So it comes with the territory. It's definitely the worst thing about the thread but hey ho I try to ignore it and generally succeed. This year has not been as bad as last year so that's progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me hate them both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) When Lewis was dominating I went off him quite a bit. Now he’s more of the underdog I can tolerate him more. The Vettel 1 finger thing he used to do after every win used to really piss me off too. I think what I dislike is when someone, anyone is totally dominating the sport.

Guest Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 The comments above, I hope all drivers from yesterday get a fair share of wins, that is what F1 needs. I dislike a few drivers and I don't care if they win - I just want to see wheel to wheel racing. And this year I really want Leclerc to win (the title) but cannot see that now. It'll probably be Max but it could be any from 5 or 6 if things continue like this. We do need some Mercedes wins as well to make that possible.

It's like go karting at 180mph, the stuff we've all dreamed of. The bizarre hatred and/or love for certain drivers in this thread aside, I feel like this clip encapsulates what is so great about the new regulations and the reason why I fangirl over only one person in F1 at the moment; Ross Brawn.

BOF Posted July 8, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted July 8, 2022 Pity Hamilton did that. 3 top constructors were all looking very racey. Could have really been the fly in the ointment this weekend. Could still recover tomorrow I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
