GOAT is still a fair way off but Max is probably the best driver there has been since Schumacher retired the first time.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I’d hardly call 24C hot.
Fast forwarded the last twenty laps. God that was dull.
All the messing about with cost caps and we see teams turning up managing tyres on the hardest compounds - that should be a punishable offence on behalf of the fans. Well done RIC.
I think refueling should come back, tyres are not interesting enough
This has to be sabotage at this point. Unbelivable
So so dull. Not sure there’s anything Mercedes could have done, but they chose the most boring option.
Max not only broke the record for number of wins in a season but also number of points in a season with 416 points compared to previous record of 413 points. Quite crazy given that he had 2 dnf's in first 3 races and that up to a break Ferrari had very competitive car.
On the other hand it's crazy how Ferrari's form is just fell of a cliff.

The fact the Merc drivers kept saying these tyres suck lets do something different and they kept refusing is... a bit worrying.
Well there are shit tons on races these days, and he's got the most dominant car since the prime Ferrari days of Schumacher... Not really all that crazy. About what you'd expect.
What an idiot (max) for boycotting Sky. Whatever happen to freedom of the press. Would be very disappointed if kravitz got sacked or skyf1 muzzled their coverage. All because of the ego of a multimillionaire race driver.
Ted striking a nerve there max?

I never get these free press/free speech comments. In this case, yes, the press can write/say whatever they want; but how is Verstappen obliged to talk to them? Isn't he equally free not to?What an idiot (max) for boycotting Sky. Whatever happen to freedom of the press. Would be very disappointed if kravitz got sacked or skyf1 muzzled their coverage.

You can find it petty from Verstappen and you might be right, but I don't know what 'free press' had got to do with it.

Especially when it’s the truth and the FIA has apologised for it.
Just totally likeable not at all Prima Donna Max being Max.
He’s been SO much better this season though, except when the slightest thing doesn’t go exactly how he likes.

Why do people constantly misunderstand freedom of the press and freedom of speech? Freedom of the press has to do with government censorship, not whether a racing driver speaks to a media outlet.

Freedom of the press doesn't mean the press have a right to demand that people give them interviews...? You do understand the difference, right?
Ironic really, considering what the bitter Sky Sports ghouls did to Alonso, for voicing an opinion to his engineer on the radio after being crashed into. Lambasted him until he made a public apology. So Ted will at minimum have to do some public grovelling, and it's karma.
He was already looking pretty bashful in his notebook after the race, much more effusive singing Max's praises than usual.
if anything those early DNFs just helped pretend the season would be competitive. No doubt a big part of that is down to max’s driving ability too, but this team is just better in every area off the track, and the car has very little if any weaknesses on it.
I really hope next year the others can get on a similar level to really push him.
to be fair all he said was hamilton was robbed, which he was. he was winning the race comfortably and had less than 10 laps remaining. red bull had accepted defeat.
ted wasn’t accusing them of cheating, it’s just a fact that the safety car stole the win from hamilton. I have no idea why people are trying to get upset about the truth.
Can see it both ways. There's really nothing wrong with what Kravitz said because it's true, Hamilton was robbed last year.
On the other hand, Kravitz, Brundle, and Croft are all pretty shameless with their bias towards the British drivers, and it's a bit strange that that's the global feed when they don't even really make much of a pretence of neutrality. You can see why other drivers and teams wouldn't particularly want to give them the time of day.

He said it multiple times, and the underlying message was pretty obviously not referring to the safety car. I appreciate your posts and I think we would get on over a pint or two mate but this one seems to me to be a bit willfully thick.
As I said earlier, Kravitz is more than welcome to express that opinion on other platforms - but for him to do so on an official F1-licensed broadcast is out of bounds.
Imagine how much better F1 coverage would be with Alonso and Vettel leading the punditry. Maybe one day.
How was Hamilton robbed ?? What about Silverstone ?? Don't tell me its a racing incident ?? Cuz if it was Hamilton wouldnt got this ridiculous time penalty , and continue the race and win 25 points while Verstappen was in the hospital !!
Maybe because the race director changed the rules in the final lap of the final race for max to win and then got sacked for it. Nothing to do with Silverstone.
Hamilton lost the race cuz he was afraid to get a pitstop during the safety car . So for gods sake stop meowing like a lill kid .
Some of you fanboys are absolutely mental. There's a reason this thread is maybe the worst on the caf for handbags, with some pretty good competition.

You don't answer my question about Silverstone ?? Last week in Austin i did not hear any of Hamilton fanboys complaining about 2 safety cars bringing Lewis back in the race ??

Really liked as well that Checo wagged his finger at the crowd when they were booing Lewis after the race.

Poor race, a lot of cars spread out and Ferrari nowhere. After 18 laps Sainz is 8 seconds behind Russell, then 40 laps he's around 22 seconds off. Leclerc is sat behind Sainz with a 4 second gap.
Anyway I'm sure Alonso can kick back and rewatch this titanic battle Max had today.

Get your kid to a pediatrician.
Concerning the race, even just watching the highlights was boring. There was none.

Over spending pays off.
This has been a dull, one sided season. Max can break all the records he wants but it means little in a one horse race. To say he's the greatest since MS is laughable.
Nah, refueling always made races dull back in the past, I've been rewatching old races on F1 tv, very few good races in the refueling years.
I think bringing in minimum 2 stop races where you have to use all 3 compounds would make it very interesting.
He doesn't work for the BBC and the notebook is literally his take on stuff. And I remember seeing it and he was clearly talking about the safety car incident and nothing else.
My opinion is also that Hamilton was robbed but that doesn't mean I don't think max was a worthy champion or did't deserve to win. The title was decided in one of the worst ways possible for anyone who either doesn't hate Lewis or isn't a blind max fan. After the season we had to have it end in such a mess was incredibly unsatisfactory.
I find the whole official f1 feed stuff weird, it's not really on sky to be neutral, it's on the fia or liberty to instruct them or not care. It is after all their choice as to who the official f1 broadcaster is. They do have their own feed people can watch I believe. Crofty has always been shit.
You would almost certainly get identical strategies with this approach.
Horner did confirm that Red Bull would resume normal service with Sky at the Brazilian Grand Prix in two weeks.
“Service will be resumed, but we just wanted to lay down a marker to say that some things aren’t acceptable, and as a team, we stand together,” Horner continued.
“I think the accusation that the championship was being robbed is we don’t feel an impartial commentary, so obviously, we don’t feel it’s fair or balanced.
“Max was very upset about it, and as a team, we support him fully and equally we were upset about it so I took the decision that we’ll have a weekend off.”
Its a no to refueling from me.
Minimum 2 stops and using 3 compounds, yeah I can see the merits of it and pit strategy would play a part of the race, more than it does now.
Eh I dunno, I don't think so. That was always thought about the 2 compound rule when it was brought in and it didn't happen that way. It's worth a try for a season.
Yeh exactly, as I said in my other reply it's worth a try for a season. Could make typically dull races like Monaco and catalunya a bit more exciting anyway.
