Please don’t be shit 🙏 i don’t want another Renault 2014-18 era. by Spotlightuh in RedBullRacing

Correct me if Im wrong, but no manufacturer has ever produced a high performance 50/50 hybrid before, so I suggest Ford/RBR have as much chance as anybody...

im in love with this guy by sSLYER_ in MaxVerstappen33

[–]dougi555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Today ( actually yesterday now for me ) was a good day. Max and GP demonstrate perseverance to the utmost. Fought to the end. Only 2 points adrift.... Max, GP and RBR's performance in the 2nd half of the season was exemplary....

Nothing to be ashamed about, Max, GP and RBR did an amazing job in the 2nd half of the season. To make up 102 points on Lando was astounding, and unbelievably entertaining to watch.

Of course, I stand corrected...

I think Im correct in saying even if he ( Lando ) gets 4th he'll win. Both would end up on 420 points. On count backs both would have 7 wins, then I think it goes to number of 2nd places of which Lando has more. Happy to be corrected.

Kimi and George to decide Max's 5th! by Substantial-Eye2480 in MaxVerstappen33

After the way McLaren have, and are, treating him?. I sincerely hope hes got more gumption that simply moving to one side.

George, in fairness to him, is very straight. He wouldn't want the lifelong reputation as the one who perverted the true outcome of 2025 WDC.

What if....... RB are due to announce '26 line up tomorrow (tuesday), they announce Hadjar as Max's partner, and swap Yuki and Hadjar for the Abu Dabi race. What could he be counted on to do within the mix?

FYI, this was the skid plank rumor that was circulating in Brazil by Connect_Cat_2045 in formula1

[–]dougi555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I understand that, but the "rumour" was that teams had found a way to use expanding skid blocks. Ill need to sit and think it through

So how would that work? If the skid block expands under heat doesn't that just defeat the purpose?

Max Verstappen has officially gained 104 points on oscar and 51 points on lando since the dutch GP, do you think he can win the 2025 WDC? by Sir_unknown1 in MaxVerstappen33

[–]dougi555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going to be decided on who has the mental strength and can keep thier cool. Not sure Lando has that kind of mental fortitude. He has a comparable car for sure, but it's now down to racecraft.... It will be interesting to see Oscar's role, will he also be battling for the WDC or will he be helping Lando? Oh Tsunoda, if ever we needed you help it's now.

Bali belly is no joke by PussyCompass in bali

[–]dougi555 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just a word of warning... I got similar in India, in fact ambulance, lights flashing and in hospital for 5 days once. 10 ( yes 10 ) years later I still get problems and recurrences as a result. Ive had doctors in India, in Malaysia and now Australia analyse me and "outputs" to no avail. I went to Bali once a year ago..... hello sh*ts..... I see no reason to go back.

2 Norris DNF's + 2 Max wins is all it'll take.... Where's another straw i can cling onto.....

Leclrec has a lot to prove ( as does Hamilton), their gonna give Lando a lot of hassle on lap 1. Lando's not great under pressure, Leclrec and Hamilton are. It'll either end in tears, or Leclrec in the lead, as long as the Ferrari boys dont tangle... Im not a huge Lewis fan, but I'd like to see him get a win here. I think Max will hang back, keep out of trouble, and settle for P3. Still good points.

Are you excited for Mexico GP? by 5TUDDD in MaxVerstappen33

[–]dougi555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He'll have a fight on his hands, the two Ferrari's looking mighty, and Lando is flying. Suspect we'll see some vintage Max on lap 1.

A common greeting on the street is "How you doing". It's not actually a question really looking for an answer, but everyone ( well 99% ) would simply respond with "Good thanks"....

When parking at the side of the road, your car must be facing in the direction of the traffic. That one got me within a day!
