Who watched the race today? I thought it was quite entertaining surprisingly.

I didnt watch F1 the last couple of years as much, but Im starting to get back into it because I have hopes for the 2022 season.

Watched pre and qualification, didn't have time to watch.

Its a joke that Verstappen gets such a penalty compared to what lewis did to max at silverstone.

FIA always rules in favour for Mercedes.


Nikita is a useless fuck.

Vettel should retire and go f himself.

Bottas is a very good driver, most likely currently better thab Lewis, would be a dream to see Mick get the seat next to him at Alfa.

Im undecided, both have their points.

Most of new comers suck, nothing ubnormal, he is though really bad, but what can you expect when he bought his seat.

He said in next 3 years he will retire, I think he is still a good driver and I would keep him for sure.

Bottas is not and never will be better than Lewis, lol, that's a very hilarious statement. He is good but never close to Hamilton.

Mick need one more year in slow car, then he can move to mid-range monopost, well basically Alpha, they are shit. Ferrari engines don't perform that well those years.

"Valterri, ts James."

How often you heard that call and it ment for Bottas to underpeform for the sake of Lewis.

Its even becoming a meme.

To bad he never pulled the Rosberg and stopped holding back for his contract.

Underperform because of Lewis? Are you watching formula since Netflix put it on the menu list? Like NBA? XD

Bottas is never even close to be so good like Lewis.

Bottas/Lewis are in the same team for 5 years, you see in a season or two who is better and it's normal they will favor their best driver.
Bottas was unlucky several times with pitstops and some management but there is not chance that even more than 10% would be on purpose.
If the engineers see someone is getting better times ofcourse they will let the faster monopost change places...
And bare in mind, Im one of those who supports literally every underdog and anyone who can stop Lewis. I can't watch him win, but I'm not biased and I know he is an incredible.. incredible driver.

They gave Bottas the chance to compete at the beginning of each season I think. Since he's never really able to match Lewis they'll go with Teamorders afterwards. So it's Bottas own fault. But he is underrated thats true.

Best driver is obviously Verstappen, it shows against every teammate he has ever had (and driving against FIA). I thought Perez will be fyling this season but he is not even close, probably the Red Bull car is not as good as it seems.

Second best driver is probably George Russel, Bottas was a yoke against him in last year's Sakhir when he was in a Mercedes car he would barely fit. He was unfortunate that the team screwed him.

Bottas has always been a wing man for Hamilton who makes as many overtaking highlights per year as Alonso and Kimi make in a single race. Hopefully, Wolff won't turn Russel into another wingman next year.

I think there's a good argument that Bottas is a better driver than Hamilton this year. I don't claim to know what's going on, but Hamilton's not been able to catch up and overtake this season as Bottas has.
There's a good chance it will turn out next year that Russel's the best driver--

TBH I'm all for Tsunoda, though--!
