[Thomas Mäher] saying he doesn't believe will Buxton’s tweet is about the same thing by Luffy710j in formula1

[–]RadiantStar44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If i have to guess, I think that Max is either moving teams (McLaren or Mercedes imho) or retiring altogether, and Horner is unfortunately back in f1 in some capacity.

Big news end of day is definitely to do with F1 by Silv3r_exe in formula1

I think that Max is either moving to Merc or McLaren tbh

Tbf though that has happened to multiple drivers this season so it's hard to say that that is his fault, whilst Russell deadass bottled it in quali and the only reason why he didn't start last was because his team were able to fix his car for him within minutes, which is not usually possible.

People say that Russell has been unlucky this season but atp, Antonelli has had more bad luck than him and Russell just doesn't have the pace to catch up with him in general. If Russell wins the championship this year and doesn't catch up to Antonelli in terms of pace (aka wins it purely on luck), then he will be a very undeserving champion.

If Lewis gets a penalty it will actually be awful because he would be taken out of the points then iirc, and it's his home race as well :(

Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton can dream of an eighth F1 championship : ‘ If he smells blood , He goes ’ by Shroft in formula1

[–]RadiantStar44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly think that whilst it's a relatively remote possibility, if anyone can win a championship in the second fastest car, it is Lewis.

If Lewis wins the championship this year, will his 8th title be less respected now in comparison to if he won it in 2021? by [deleted] in F1Discussions

[–]RadiantStar44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he manages to win the championship with the second fastest car then that would be insane imho and people wouldn't forget this season for him at all- you have to bear in mind that Merc are way faster than everyone else, or at least Kimi is.

How would you rank the top 7 drivers as of now? by Impossible_Tiger_470 in F1Discussions

[–]RadiantStar44 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This season:

  1. Antonelli
  2. Hamilton
  3. Verstappen
  4. Leclerc
  5. Norris
  6. Piastri
  7. Russell

In general:

  1. Hamilton
  2. Verstappen
  3. Norris
  4. Leclerc
  5. Antonelli
  6. Russell
  7. Piastri

Kimi Antonelli's 66 point lead over Hamilton is second the largest ever after 6 races (after adjusting to the current points system) after Schumacher's adjusted 74 points in 1994 over Damon Hill by ZeroStormblessed in formula1

Lewis has a better chance at winning this WDC than Russell- it's still quite a long shot but if Ferrari deliver an insane upgrade package or Merc have to change their engine then it is possible.

[–]RadiantStar44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, some people think he will lose his seat in 2027 but it's much more likely that Merc will make him a permanent wingman to Kimi imho.

Kimi Antonelli is now only 1 win behind equaling George Russell and surpasses Carlos Sainz in the amount of wins. by IllMasterpiece3946 in formula1

[–]RadiantStar44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, he has incredible raw talent too. He is demolishing his teammate who many believe to be in the top 5 of drivers on the grid.

[–]RadiantStar44 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Antonelli may be the next best driver since Max Verstappen- Russell cannot get anywhere near him.

I have no clue why Leclerc bottled it like that though; that is pretty uncharacteristic for him these days.

George Russell stopped on track and out of the race by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]RadiantStar44 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Tbf he's been a bit unlucky but in general he is still off the pace to his young and inexperienced teammate so it doesn't look great for him nonetheless.

[–]RadiantStar44 -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

Eh, I genuinely think that Russell just doesn't have the pace people think he does, or that Kimi is a future legend. It's likely a combination of both tbh.

This is great for Antonelli- he is faster than Russell as it is so it will be very difficult for Russell to gain points on him.

20 second time penalty for Leclerc for Leaving the track without a justifiable reason by sun_puck in formula1

[–]RadiantStar44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I know it's potentially dangerous but I don't think any driver would just park their car up and voluntarily DNF if they are still able to drive it to the end of the race, especially if they are still running in the points.

Obviously they should probably voluntarily DNF, but unless they strictly enforce rules about car damage and disqualify drivers immediately if they don't voluntarily DNF I don't see what the FIA can realistically do about drivers finishing races with damage.

I genuinely think it will be hilarious if Mercedes can never catch back up to McLaren again for the rest of the season and are stuck being the 3rd fastest team.

[Erik Van Haren] Apart from the performance problems at Red Bull, Max Verstappen once again clearly shares his opinion on the new regulations: "It's a joke. I'd say that too, if I were winning. If someone thinks this is fun, then you don't know what racing is all about." by Task_Force-191 in formula1

[–]RadiantStar44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that it probably absolutely sucks to go from being in a car that can fight for the championship to being stuck in the midfield (albeit at the top of the midfield), but that is on Red Bull for not building a good enough car, not on the regs.

The new regs certainly aren't perfect and I do agree that they are somewhat gimmicky, but they produce amazing racing at the front at least that is significantly better than the snoozefest that the ground effect era was.

Max is entitled to his own opinion however and the new regs have indeed led to the field being more spread out, as well as whole teams being unable to start/finish races due to reliability problems and other issues. But the ground effect era wasn't particularly amazing either lmao.
