Yes it's a spectacle, he has the championship wrapped up, so why can't this guy just keep quiet and go and enjoy himself out there. This is why people boo him!

This is why people boo him! In this case tbh I don’t have an issue with his comments, he’s trying to protect the integrity of the sport. It’s clearly on a trajectory towards all show, and little sport, like boxing has entered into. The balance is off and he’s right to make that point imo. New tracks are almost universally shit for racing. Then the US events like this and Miami are off the scale for fanfare whilst the racing is instantly forgettable. Its unsustainable unless it is adjusted. Edited November 17, 2023 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There maybe a little bit in it, but don't be fooled, Max thinks about Max. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be correct and a whinging little shit at the same time. If you whinge about everything sooner or later you'll be on the money. But yeah today I agree with him too.

I'd imagine it would not be that hard to prove physical damage should they be challenged to, but with F1 shenanigans who really knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 18, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2023 Lol. Q2 carnage. The galaxy brains at Merc & Red Bull needlessly shafting their drivers. Ferrari looking the cream of the crop. But they can still Ferrari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted November 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2023 I'm kind of hoping that the Starship launch later goes horribly wrong and somehow crashes into the Vegas F1 track and makes for a doubly historic spectacle. Without hurting anyone of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Having watched more of the qualifying laps I’m convinced it’ll be boring and will wait for the midday highlights on channel 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Gasly has had quite a strong run since the summer break. Leclerc going to have yet another pole with no victory, poor fella. The plan was to stay up and watch but it's likely I'll see the opening laps and then drop off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course - but you could quite happily have a nap for an hour or so once he was in front then just catch the bit at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
