I didn't mind him at first but they way he whines constantly really fucking bothers me. He also won his title in farcical circumstances. I'm literally wanting anyone but him in every session/race (inc Perez, as it's not a red bull thing). I remember a period when everyone hated Schumacher, hated Alonso, hated Hamilton, Seb and now Max. People hate people who are successful generally speaking.

pandarilla Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It was only a title contest owing to the farcical, Mercedes playing dodgems 'circumstances' that were overlooked earlier in the season, as well as complete nonsense stewarding interventions like in Saudi Arabia. He was the quickest driver/car combination in 2021 by a clear margin. He does love a moan but other than Alonso - who isn't fighting for a championship - I don't think Verstappen is worse for that than any credible front-runner. Russell is excluded from that comparison until he stops being a fawning supplicant of Team Lewis. They both got away with dodgy decisions throughout the season - but the ending was ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your examples of 'ridiculous' finales ( apart from 2008 , that wasn't ridiculous if memory serves me correct , just a literal last minute winner ) were down to cynical actions from an individual driver . Last season max won by driving to conditions set for him by the authorities yet bizarrely gets more flack than any of the other drivers that personally caused ' controversial ' championships. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton shat the bed in Abu Dhabi. He absolutely panicked when he realised Max was behind him on softs and too busy whining about "manipulation man" to defend properly. Can you imagine peak Schumey or Senna letting Max past so easily? No chance.It was also very, VERY funny. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 No idea what this Sprint shite is supposed to add to F1. The only purpose it seems to serve is to provide fast cars that have had a shite Quali the chance to move up the grid, which from the perspective of providing an interesting main race is not a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 1) No more 'ridiculous' than the ending to the Saudi Arabia round before it, which wrongly put Hamilton in the box seats. 2) Ending the entire season under a safety car because Latifi binned it ten laps before the end and some dud lapped cars couldn't unlap themselves in time would also have been 'ridiculous'. 3) Your big mate Lewis profited from equally 'ridiculous' scenarios such as the last lap at Sao Paulo in a previous title win. There's no comparison with the Saudi ending - that's just clutching at straws. I'm no expert, but I listen to those who are, and throughout the season there were plenty of incidents that went for and against. Both teams moaned at different times but the general take from the f1 community was that some decisions went for verstappen and some went for Hamilton. Verstappen pushed the rules to the very edge, and often at times overstepped the mark. That's not my opinion, but the general view of drivers and ex-drivers.It's quite clear that the p&b massive have an unhealthy obsession with Hamilton - and taking great delight in him losing. I've got no issue with that, but don't pretend that's not what's going on. I've openly admitted my hatred of verstappen. It's pretty irrational but I think he's shown a lack of class as champion. I couldn't give a f**k about Hamilton. He's clearly done as he's not got that competitive edge this year, especially in a shit car. Russell is showing him up and that should be a sign for him to retire. Verstappen will walk the title this year as he's head and shoulders above the competition. Hopefully Ferrari can continue their improvement next year and we can see as closer fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 So you'll be able to give loads of examples of how Verstappen has shown a "lack of class" (whatever the f**k that means) as champion then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
