De Vries is Dutch, and quite clearly wasn't getting in a Mercedes any time soon.

Moving to Alphatauri is the best option for his career 100%
It was very much a tongue in cheek comment, looks to be a good move sure.
If you don’t follow F1, it’s usually agreed between drivers informally - to stay in line and leave a gap so you don’t compromise each other - but it isn’t a FIA rule and isn’t always followed in recent times as we’ve seen at many tracks causing issues.
The other thing was that it seemed there were different out lap strategies where McLaren were pushing to keep the tyres warm but Red Bull didn’t have that problem probably because of their high downforce so Max didn’t expect it and probably realises afterwards.
Fair enough
I read Verstappen apologized to Norris.
He crossed his fingers behind his back, though

I agree with everything you say here. This is him on track, absolutely. What I was describing was him off track. I honestly think he's coming off as a totally different character off track to the dive bombing bully we see on track.
Max apologised in the lap after by waving his arm.
This, basically. Though I don't think Lando had to overtake Max there, he came from a long way back and could have easily stayed behind and swerve and stuff to keep his tyres warm. But that's racing I guess, everybody is selfish on track. In the end not much harm was done, Max put his hand up to Lando the following lap and in the post qualifying interview he responded in a calm and realistic way but then Lando didn't pull any punches saying Max deserved a penalty to which Max responded by saying Lando was trying to feck him over and shouldn't have broken the gentleman's agreement. I think the stewards got it right this time.
looked to me like the “finger across the throat” gesture, aimed at lando’s family, from where i was sat.
Got to love the Max hate in here by some. Blind as bats 
All the drivers are flawed. They all flip out in the car, it human nature.
Hamilton often gets very moany in the car, Alonso very sarcastic, Max curses a lot when himself or someone fecks up. etc etc. It's no issue. It's a high pressure environment.
I'd wonder what you would say about footballers if you could hear what they are saying constantly. There would be war.
Personally Id rather the drivers air their emotions, frustrations and thoughts than being media trained politicians.

Wouldnt be any moaning if he wasnt gifted a championship and a car that exceeded the development budget for the season. Last season and probably this season as well.Got to love the Max hate in here by some. Blind as bats

The gospel according to Toto is already written in stone.
You just will never learn, will you?
Just managed to catch up with qualifying, working nighs and playing with my new car.
I thought the reprimand for Max was about right, Lewis has had the same before.

I dont dislike Max, what I do dislike is the idiots around him blowing smoke up his arse all the time.
I think its the best option for him , pleased for him , hopefully he will have a decent car under him.
I do follow F1, and even if I didn't the attempt at belittling was unnecessary - as you've said there's no rule and the "gentleman's agreement" doesn't really get followed.
Max got caught out by his cold tyres when accelerating, a minor thing and no harm done, he was just incorrigible when questioned about it, as usual.
No belittling there’s been plenty of new people to the F1 thread since last season and they often say but wasn’t sure so just explaining a rule that most drivers do try to follow (McLaren and Alpine didn’t today to keep tyres warm) but isn’t an obvious rule and not sure if it was mentioned in the commentary.
Yeah him and Lando seem like fairly good friends, and as I said it was a tiny incident. I just really dislike his inability to accept responsibility, it's always somebody else's fault.
Now there's a thought; have you ever seen Max and Hitler in the same room at the same time? Almost like they might be the same person, no?
Tbf it did look similar to heil hitler when you think about it
Obviously @rimaldo and Hitler can't be the same person because Tom Cruise played him in that movie where he tries to kill Hitler. Risky Business or something.
There are many jokes to be made regarding Max and his orange fans, and Hitler and rimaldo, but better let's not go there.
Clearly no more than a reprimand was deserved today for Max.
I don’t think Max is that likeable, especially when he’s under pressure. He can be quite rude to his team and pushes the rules beyond sportsmanship a lot. If he were a footballer, I’d say he was most like Luis Suarez.
I’d say Lewis is more of a Scholes type. Those who hate him will always hate him, and he’s certainly a bit moany and knows how to get his elbows out, but most respect his quality, longevity and especially his adaptability across his career.

yeah. i mean, i only have a mild distrust of jews, rather than a deep seated hatred.
Looking likely to be a wet race tomorrow...
With the start time and how dark it gets the race is going to get Spa'd.
Fan
fantastic analogies!
Daniel Ricciardo has confirmed he is not expecting to be on the Formula 1 grid next year and is targeting a return to the sport in 2024.
Isn’t there rumours of him being a merc test driver next year, so is he expecting Lewis to retire after next season
Hamilton reckons he's got another 5 years in him. I reckon Danny will take the Merc reserve role for next year just to stay connected and get a bit of driving time and then if a seat opens up he'll jump for it. See if Yuki/Zhou stay on and if so, jump in a midfield car.

Not heard that one, I have heard Lewis has a good few year left in him, but even if he did go , don't see Ricciardo taking his place.
Wet race interesting, hope it starts
Im a bit gutted with the Yuki/Pierre bromance being broken up but I cant wait to see the what happens next year between Gasly and Ocon.
The visibility is seriously bad. Wonder if they'll continue?
EDIT: Red flag.
EDIT: Red flag.
There on the wrong tire, 20 years ago they race in this and have a brilliant race at that.
Red Flags needs feck off, they took the gamble with the intermediates, pay the price.
So stupid. This is becoming a nanny sport.
