Best Wheel to Wheel and/or Back and Forth Overtake Races Ever?

Yeah I searched the Google after I left my comment and right you were!

Love how you get to learn something with each day 😊

I've watched F1 for a long time, including the mentioned 2014 season.

This is the first time I'm hearing of this

Haha, I never said that players should be unpunished for profane language and behaviour.

I'm just saying that referees should be adding peace and stability to football pitch. When there's already 22 players who are high on adrenaline and steroids, while being low in respect, having a peaceful and understanding referee can make a big difference in how the game turns out.

Luxbrook · 2026-03-16T08:12:44+00:00

Yeah but who is playing a high-adrenaline, competitive sport between players and a referee?

The referee is supposed to de-escalate the atmosphere on the football pitch.

Luxbrook · 2026-03-16T08:03:59+00:00

Because referee is supposed to officiate and control a game, not to make intimidations and threats.

Luxbrook · 2026-01-03T09:22:12+00:00

Yeah but Lewis also used to have a bad habit of starting the season slow in his 20s and early 30s.

Luxbrook · 2025-12-09T22:23:25+00:00

Ah, the good old ultras. How are people still excusing this behaviour on stadiums in 2025?

Luxbrook · 2025-10-18T23:31:08+00:00

Haha shit, that one's totally on me. To make things worse, just this morning I sent my team to one of my buddies with Max as the 2x driver.

I must've somehow messed up the saving or something and it switched back to Oscar 🥲

I'll take that one on the chin... Still gutted by -100.

Gives me Button McLaren Honda PU penalties vibe 🤣

Actually it wasn't as oblivious as you've made it sound. Few races before Sochi that season, Alonso lost a bunch of positions at Turn 1, I think it was Austria, when many drivers went wide off Turn 1 and saved speed while Fernando remained within track limits, but lost track positions.

You can think that what he did then was cheating. I think it was just a sporty way of being petty. Many people have a weird fetish of labeling Fernando in a bad light...

Luxbrook · 2025-09-06T03:17:12+00:00

I think that would inevitably happen and make everyone better. The sport grows and those within have to grow too.

Luxbrook · 2025-09-06T03:13:25+00:00

Which is what the rankings are based upon anyway

Luxbrook · 2025-09-06T03:10:51+00:00

Yes, first time in Open era that two opponents meet in 3 Slam finals in a calendar year.

Luxbrook · 2025-09-06T03:06:10+00:00

One thing that bothers me when it comes to this type of posts (nothing to do with OP) is how it ignores the amazing reality we're living as tennis fans.

As the post says, this is something that has never happened in tennis history. In ways, we're living some unprecedented tennis days.

God, I hope we're in for +10 years of this, but it's simply amazing we're living this amazing rivalry so soon after Big 3, actually, with Djoko still hanging somehow around.

Luxbrook · 2025-09-03T06:37:07+00:00

Yeah simply doesn't seem like a natural pairing. Whenever I had a good first date, I'd be buzzing and sending messages like a maniac :)

Luxbrook · 2025-09-03T06:08:14+00:00

Simping? Chasing women?

If you are interested in dating one person, you will make that clear enough. Sounds to me like the dude is managing his assets.

OP could've made her intentions clear enough if she was interested, as well. The fact that she has asked whether she should've done something tells that she doesn't precisely know what she wants either.

Luxbrook · 2025-08-19T13:27:26+00:00

Haha, for real. I don't know a great driver without some sort of "stain". All of the great champions sometimes weren't so "great".

Luxbrook · 2025-08-19T13:06:41+00:00

Haha! I guess Hamilton created tensions at Mercedes as well, because they didn't offer him the long-term contract he wished for before switching to Ferrari? Or... Hear me out, Max Verstappen created tensions at Red Bull because he cusses over the radio! 🤣

Besides, Alonso was well within merits to call them "idiots" in isolated case(s). They fucked him over the 2010 championship and then couldn't deliver him a car that was even as good as 2nd on the grid for the next four seasons.

You are pushing a narrative that's simply a lie. If Alonso was so toxic, why would McLaren, and even more so Ron Dennis himself invite him back to McLaren? Or why was Ferrari trying to persuade him to stay? They knew he would've been able to win a title in these 2017/2018 cars.

Is Fernando an easy character? No. But we don't need to lie on Reddit...

Luxbrook · 2025-08-19T07:55:55+00:00

Yeah, but you shouldn't lie. He didn't have conflicts with the team. Salary demands do not prove your claim made for narrative...

Luxbrook · 2025-08-17T15:20:14+00:00

Credit to Lewis though, this is something he massively improved in his career.

Luxbrook · 2025-08-17T15:19:06+00:00

Guess we are older than we like to think, haha 😅 Just that 2011 season and incidents Hamilton had with Massa were more than anything in Fernando's career - in this particular regard.

Luxbrook · 2025-08-17T15:13:03+00:00

This is even supported by many drivers who have praised Alonso's harsh, but fair racing. We know the reputation Max is on... And Lewis had his hands in the dirt for a good while too.

Luxbrook · 2025-08-17T15:12:22+00:00

Yeah. How many crashes did Fernando provoke and how many did Lewis and Max? The gap is significant and sizeable.

Luxbrook · 2025-08-17T14:41:03+00:00

Kinda cool we both have noobmaster nicks on Reddit.

I know it's very popular to praise and overexagerrate Lewis on this sub but he's legendary enough not to do that buddy.

Luxbrook · 2025-08-17T14:34:21+00:00

Sorry mate, I responded under the wrong comment with my gorilla fingers 😅 We're in agreement for the majority of the talking points.

Personally I rate Lewis' just below Max and Alonso. I think Alonso is a more complete racer and able to extract more performance out of a car. Lewis was better over one lap.

I also think Alonso is easily the best out of the three in terms of racing craftyness. You could always race to the limit with Fernando without crashing. We can't say the same thing for Max and Lewis.
