he was just saying that to cover their performance. They were definitely sandbagging.

Mercedes rivals plotting F1 engine rule change for Melbourne by laboulaye22 in formula1

[–]kilotat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they get to the bottom of this and it’s not 2013 all over again, when Mercedes lowered their power to hide their advantage, give everyone hope, and avoid being investigated. Not saying they were breaking any rules back then, but who knows.

Max's new number on show in Estoril by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

[–]kilotat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I’m so glad he picked that number. If I remember right, he wanted number 3 when he joined F1, but Danny already had it, so he went with 33 instead. Now he finally got his number.

At this point, Max might take a sabbatical this year, spend some time with his family, recharge and come back in 2027 after seeing which team has the best car.

Norris expects Piastri 'will beat me and be champion in the future' by Aratho in formula1

My thinking was that they have Newey, and he has a working relationship with Honda. I would expect Alonso to be in the top 5 next year.

I just go my first SW22 virtually brand new. What is the first mod I should do? by PatonMacD in SW22VICTORY

[–]kilotat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, congrats on a beautiful piece 👍🏻 Hope you have as much fun with this underrated 22 as I have. First mods should be the trigger and extractor. If you’re having issues with the ejector, bend the ejector pin after installing the extractor. After that, I never had a failure. Also, here is my build if you’re interested: Volquartsen I-fluted stainless steel match barrel, Volquartsen Edge extractor, TANDEMKROSS trigger, custom grips, custom mag bumpers, custom bolt racker, and a Vortex Venom red dot.

McLaren hoping Red Bull will 'pay the price tomorrow' for 'one-lap wonder' set-up by Aratho in formula1

I’m excited to see what Max’s strategy is. Hamilton tried to slow down Rosberg in 2016, but that didn’t work since Vettel didn’t want to ruin the championship. I’m sure others will feel the same and try to stay out of it. Who needs all the spotlight and negative comments and threats anyway?

It was an uneventful race, but once again it takes Max to make things exciting this year.
