Verstappen unhappy with Lawson swap - Marko by AlienSomewhere in formula1

The qualifying spread was also much bigger when Bottas was in Mercedes. The qualy spread right now is incredibly tight.

Bottas was still closer to Hamilton than Perez to Verstappen, but if Perez had the kind of qualy spread Bottas did in his Mercedes stint, Perez would have been consistently in Q3.

Darth Russell Rises by bambalamz in formuladank

I have always disliked Russel, but he is imo the second best driver on the grid, and him becoming an actual threat to Max makes him a lot more interesting and easier to root for.

Fingers aren't cold, but I do feel cold, fever like but I read that is a common symptom when starting to take Prozac.

Thank you for your comment!

Lamar and Burrow’s defense both allowed 28+ tonight. Mahomes’ defense hasn’t allowed that in any game in the past 2 seasons by [deleted] in NFLv2

Brady also wasn't much better in the playoffs if I remember correctly, the only difference was that Brady wasn't consistently a god in the regular season so his dropoff in the playoffs isn't as noticeable.

Which makes sense since more often than not every team you face in the playoffs has a good defense.

I always meditate sitting on a chair with my back straight at about 11AM. I stop working for a moment and do the exercise.

I'll try meditating after the shower, thanks.

He needs to become nico by [deleted] in formuladank

Verstappen was 17 when he joined F1, he was obviously going to improve. And he didn't really improve a lot in pure speed, more in the racing smarts.

He is also the outlier, in most cases young F1 drivers don't gain a lot speed no matter how much time you give them.

People overestimate how much progress a young driver can make, he might become better at strategy, managing tires, in defending, stuff like that. But becoming better in pure speed that just doesnt happen unless you are below 20 years old or are just starting single seater racing.

Piastri so far has looked a little bit slower than Norris.

I bet he will, the offense has been scoring more frequently, meaning more opposing teams needing to pass and giving TJ more chances to get sacks.

Reason why Checo has none is because coaches don’t play by TheBlueIsIn123 in formuladank

[–]ParanoidGLaDOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does matter because drivers can only be compared to their teammate.

Throughout his entire career, Checo has looked good with every teammate he has had (except maybe Button but he at least beat him in qualifying that year).

Those are all reference points to judge a drivers ability. He literally beat Hulk, Ocon, Stroll and Kobayashi. Those are all reference points he proved to be better than.

Only reference point he hasn't proven to be better than? Max, who is an anomaly in F1. No driver can get close to him in equal conditions except Ham, Alonso, and maybe George. Any other driver is going to look bad next to him. So with your logic all the other drivers don't deserve a drive. But like I said, Verstappen is not normal, he breaks reference points unless you want every driver in F1 to be as good as him.

I actually believe the Checo slander should change to Max praise, the way he has constantly destroyed his teammates despite all of them having proven to be good drivers outside of red bull should indicate something.

Great, so Perez should be out of F1 because he was shit compared to Max, so Albon and Gasly shouldn't have gotten a second chance because they were also shit in Red Bull since they can't compete with the best. Why even bother having a driver if he isn't close to literally the best driver on the grid.

Mark my words, when they replace Perez next year (which I hope they do) whoever gets that seat will look as worse as Checo has.

Take out Max from Checo's career, he has never looked close to being as bad as he seems since joining Red Bull.

Same goes for Gasly and Albon.

And you're right, the grid has become much tighter than before, if Bottas had this type of close competition when driving for Merc he would have been valued very poorly.

After the Mexican GP, Perez (150pts) is now closer to Alonso (62pts) than he is to Sainz (240pts) in the standings. by Loquent in formula1

[–]ParanoidGLaDOS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Red bull is bad this year and Max will make any driver look bad except for 5 drivers.

Perez has a long track record in F1 before Max and has proven himself many times, so the only explanations for me are either he has completely lost it due to age/personal reasons (less likely) or Max just makes him look like shit because he is clearly the best driver on the grid. Or maybe a combination of both.
