Ok this makes sense. I remember his Ocon clashes way more than his Button clashes, though I think Button got on the radio once complaining about him if I remember right...probably a Monaco or something.I think you're partly correct there. He doesn't like competetive team mates - and that was his problem at McLaren - he clashed with Button too many times.
I think he's happy as fuck at Racing Point, because Lance Stroll is awful and will never get close to being as good as him.,
Amazing. "I'm the Asian Tom Cruise so give me a follow."
The Tilkedromiest Tilkedrome.Amazing. "I'm the Asian Tom Cruise so give me a follow."
Vietnam track update. I hadn't seen the layout for this track but it looks like it might actually be pretty good? Long track, couple long straights, essess opening up at the end. Seems like it'll be pretty fun to watch.
Oh really? Boo. Guess my ability to judge tracks is still in its infancy.
They're not all terrible tracks or have terrible races, they just all end up having the same elements (some straights, a circle thingy, all broken up by some twisty stuff).Oh really? Boo. Guess my ability to judge tracks is still in its infancy.
Since I've been reading this thread the only Tilkedromes that have received anything close to praise is the Turkey track and COTA. Going by what I've watched this season that's been a relatively accurate view (COTA was only ok IMO) so my hype levels took a pretty big nosedive. Hope it's good though!They're not all terrible tracks or have terrible races, they just all end up having the same elements (some straights, a circle thingy, all broken up by some twisty stuff).

Bahrain, Sepang, COTA, Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, Sochi. Those are the courses I can think of off the top of my head.Since I've been reading this thread the only Tilkedromes that have received anything close to praise is the Turkey track and COTA.

Sepang was rather well liked. And the Hockenheim-rebuild is actually pretty dope.

Wow, Sepang circuit seems really unique. Wish I didn't have to buy F1 TV to watch old races or I'd check it out -_-Sepang was rather well liked. And the Hockenheim-rebuild is actually pretty dope. Old Hockenheim sucked.
I don't think he will be for long. He will be for Mercedes what Leclerc is for Ferrari.
The "watch person as they cross line to win" thing is absolutely chronic. They should do it in a picture-in-picture or something.
edit: jeezus hulk
I'm calling it now. If Lando or Sainz continue at McLaren, Mercedes will replace Bottas with Russell.
He's too good to be in the worst car.

Bottas is almost certainly out in 2021, and if Max isn't taking that spot (if Lewis decides to stay on) then Russell is the obvious candidate.

I often don't give a shit about things like this but this is fucking hilarious.
Yes, that one. Indefinitely better than ye olde "the only interesting section is the Motodrom, so let's send the cars into the forest for three quarters of the lap" version.You mean the Hockenheim that's perfectly flat and really only added one unnecessarily long straight, a hairpin and the classic Tilke 'slower that it looks or has any right to be considering the width of the track' chicane/corner as a corner exit?
Would much prefer the Nurburgring.
FW43 chassis will be an improvement.
Let's face it, how can it be worse than the current one?! That's like saying to a homeless person living under a piece of cardboard that their next home will be an improvement.
I don't see why anyone would trust Claire on her word.FW43 chassis will be an improvement.

Well let's wait and see. As much as I would love to see Williams back in at least the midfield I wouldn't put it past them to be even worse next season.
Lewis will not quit until he's got his 7th or realized that 7th is not possible.
Yes, that one. Indefinitely better than ye olde "the only interesting section is the Motodrom, so let's send the cars into the forest for three quarters of the lap" version.
if he nails a 7th in 2020 would he retire matching the record? Would he want 8?
Retiring with 7 just before the potentially wild card 2021 season where it may take a few years to understand the top cars and some moving around may make 8 difficult and therefore retiring at the end of this current 'era' could make sense.
British media never accepted that a small italian firm built from nothing in Maranello near Modena became the most important car manufacturer in the world and the best racing team of all time.As much as people like to shit on Ferrari, it's still the most winning team in the history of the sport, with prestige that goes even beyond Williams and McLaren, and even their failure of a year like this one was worth them a shockingly low 2nd place in the constructors. No top driver is gonna ignore Ferrari tbh.

Lando would've won if he'd posted this:
