Do you remember how much you and my dear friend Philippe were crowing about how that was Max's weekend and Lewis was nowhere?

How did that work out?

Get ready for more of the same?
I think Bongoxxx answered you partly with other cars throwing the stuff on the track after going off and also puddle mud seep.
Anyway,enough of this mud slinging!!

I'm just thinking of the coming weekend...

He has done lots of simulations last months and many racing years.

He was awarded a GP victory after the 2 Mercs crashed and RIC was managed out of the actual win. When you think about it, a minimum of 10 percent of his GP "wins" are tainted by this.

What? Lewis made an driver error and crashed out of the race with his teammate?
Thought driving gods never did this kind of thing.

Ricciardo destroyed his tires, he wouldn’t get to the end probably ( but you never know now).
Racewinner had some luck indeed.

Mercedes are always sandbagging and will have front row again, who ever is in the cockpit. Last seven years shows that.
Second row Red Bull.
Only at the third row the fun starts.

Nico de-rated, lost power and shut the door as Lewis passed causing the crash. Nico said it, exactly as that. No equivocation. Lewis could have been more patient but Nico closed the door, deliberately, causing the crash.

Last season , there was a lack of rain by the heat waves my good friend .
Francorchamps was covered in pitch black menacing thunder clouds by the Belgian heat waves , but it remained dry !
Yeah we got Turkey , but that was more oil than rain by a new asphalt layer...
Before the race Sir7ewis wanted to boycott the race , but no one joined him..

To be fair, it's not Mercedes' fault that no one else can develop a competitive car. The fact that it's been so long is absolutely shocking.

This.

The fans of RBR should be tearing down the gates at the factory, not looking for ways to denigrate Mercedes. I'm not surprised, however, as this is a tactic of the team which has an absolutely horrible culture. As long as Darth Marko and CHorner are there, it will be hopeless.

RBR's issues have been totally discouraging.

And , in the spirit of honesty, the one year Ferrari was close (2017 I believe), Vettel was not on top form.

MAX didn't get many chances in his short career , because +/- 97% of the races were dry races.

I remember 3 wet races ..
Brazil 2016 => P2
Germany 2019 => P1
Turkey 2020 => DNF

Climate changes , heat waves and droughts are the game breaker ..
Hope that will change as well..

I bet they are.

On both 2017 and 2018, VET should have won both of those championships. Had ALO or HAM been in the car Ferrari would have broken the string of Mercedes championships. But HAM broke VET in those years. I hope VET can make a return to form at Aston Martin!!
