Boo Khaki Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 10 hours ago, JamesP_81 said: Hopefully this is now the start of an absolutely nasty battle between them for the rest of the season. Aye, mainly because the inevitability of the Dutch bloke winning the Championship regardless will send "'mon Lewis" types into meltdown yet again. Given their GOAT looks unlikely to be competing at the front himself any time soon, they'll no doubt slither over to the "mon Lando" bandwagon soon enough so they can continue venting their personal grudges against the 2021 World Champion* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 So he should just let you win then? Half the drivers these days would kill themselves if they had to race in the 90s or before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming Lawrence Stroll has hired some dim-witted nephews, cousins and the like to run the design and engineering departments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 On 30/06/2024 at 16:02, Miguel Sanchez said: Norris doesn't seem as ruthless as he needs to be to overtake someone like Verstappen who is going to defend as hard as possible at every opportunity. He needs to improve that. Norris didn't seem to want to risk contact as much as Verstappen does. Verstappen's movement in the braking zone has be a constant thing (Kimi vs Max in Hungary a good example) and he continues doing it under pressure because he knows it will scare off the other driver. As strange as it seems, Norris needs to have another pass where he doesn't back down and has contact with Verstappen, it may be the only way for Max to change how he races against Norris knowing that both are happy to sacrifice car parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Also, I don't even think it's about being ruthless when it comes to Norris, he passed Verstappen twice (3 times if you include the sprint) and fucked it up each time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at similar incidents into that corner. Max overtaking LeClerc for example you see Max move way wider than Norris did knowing that LeClerc had compromised his exit and snuck down the inside on the exit. Norris needs to refine his race craft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 It seems Danica Patrick has been booted off the Sky Sports coverage because she talked about lizard people and other conspiracy theories on a podcast.

The Golden God Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 You’d think Verstappen had killed Norris with some of Sky’s coverage this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 It’s good to see Verstappen and Norris being mature about last week now they’ve had time to process it. The amount of moon howlers on the internet about it have been exactly what you’d expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
