You don't get 6 WDCs by being a pushover a la Barichello, Weber, Kovalainen and even Rosberg to an extent.

Don't recall the nasty german being a whinny beyotch, nor Senna, nor (by all accounts) Fangio
Ever see the nasty german piss on his team over the radio?
Hamtotee proves you can be a talented driver AND a whinnybitch

We can't forget parking his Ferrari at Rascasse. The ultimate act of entitlement and being a sore loser.

Senna straight up said he's gonna take out Prost in the Japanese 1990 GP

Fangio's time doesn't count. Back in his day, they drank champagne during the pit stops.

[worksux101]

It was a tactical decision that failed, not entitlement.

He has never publicly berated his team, just as Seb hasn't...apples and oranges

[worksux101]

rumors abound Alonso back with Renault next year. Still think they're the place to be for 2022.

Leaves Seb with one less option...wouldn't be surprised if RBR happens though given his interview yday with Horner, Gasly and Max on an RB sponsored channel

or really?
All the 'come on guys etc etc etc'?

I was talking about Schummi
Ham is a little beyotch when he isn't winning.

I didn't say the nasty german berated his team....in fact it was the opposite

Lol I know what you meant.
I was replying to the other guy who was complaining about Schu and Senna, indicating that Ham whines and Schummi/Vet didn't.

The tactical decision I was referring to was stopping his car in Monaco and blocking the track.

Back at Renault

[teems1]

Alonso is talented but toxic.

I'd rather he move on.

That does be entertaining

look back at the last 3 decades...most of the greats were asholes
I personally like Alonso. Renault sucks and he gonna struggle, but we'll see flashes of true brilliance, and some good drama

There's a difference between toxic and diva behaviour.

Hamilton, Vettel, Senna, Prost, Schumi want to be the de facto #1 in their team and exhibit diva behaviour.

Alonso does straight up toxic sheit which brings the sport into disrepute.

Alonso intentionally staying in the pits for 5 seconds so that Hamilton wouldn't be able to do a hot lap during Q3 Hungarian GP.

Alonso involved in Spygate. Apparently there were emails between between Alonso and PDLR and Coughlan (one of the main actors in Spygate). The emails were never made public but everyone knows there's some truth to it.

It couldn't be proven but Alonso knew about Piquet Jr's orders to intentionally crash and gift Alonso the victory in Singapore 2008.

It's why he got the name Teflonso. All these allegations that have happened so close to him which would ruin any driver's career have never stuck to him.

[MG Man]

only issue with spygate is they got caught. F1 is rife with espionage
Big whoop about the 5 second thing. Others have done far worse
Piquet Jr's crcash is a joke. Barrichello made a career of holding up the field so nobody could threaten the nasty german

Really don't understand why they would even risk this..

Mugello should be confirmed for 2020 soon.

I've driven it on Assetto Corsa, it's a nice track but we'll have to see how an F1 race there goes.

Great post.

As for covid, bottas stayed in his bubble is more likely to be fine.
LeC's excuse of being tested twice before return shows there needs to be better education of the virus around the paddock.

Think mugello would be a snoozefest - like Hungary too narrow for modern f1 cars.

In sad news, Marko has ruled out a return for Seb to RBR today. Unless Bottas capitulates, it leaves him without a top team for 2021.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

second event on the same track - should be interesting

[pete]

Weather supposed to be torrential rain tomorrow and if it's still too wet on Sunday they could start the race based on the results of FP2 which are..

F1 FP2 Results
1.Max Verstappen Red Bull Racing 1:03.660
2 Valtteri Bottas Mercedes +0.043
3 Sergio Perez Racing Point +0.217
4 Lance Stroll Racing Point +0.581
5 Carlos Sainz McLaren +0.673
6 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes +0.688
7 Alex Albon Red Bull Racing +0.777
8 Lando Norris McLaren +0.881
9 Charles Leclerc Ferrari +1.046
10 Esteban Ocon Renault +1.086
11 Pierre Gasly Alpha Tauri +1.097
12 Daniil Kvyat Alpha Tauri +1.390
13 Kimi Raikkonen Alfa Romeo +1.492
14 Antonio Giovinazzi Alfa Romeo +1.705

16 Sebastian Vettel Ferrari +1.953
17 Nicholas Latifi Williams +1.995
18 Kevin Magnussen Haas +2.130
19 Romain Grosjean Haas +2.436
20 Daniel Ricciardo Renault No time

Lando will have a 3 place grid penalty for overtaking under Yellows in FP1 moving Leclerc, Ocon and Gasly up one place.

[kamakazi]

Max and Lewis on Row 1....Yes please

12th in quali for George Russel...in a Williams...what a drive

[worksux101]

Helluva lap from Ham. Not a fan but give jack his jacket. Ocon also bossed it

[teems1]

1.2s faster than P2.

That's a football field length margin.

For those who dislike Hamilton, you have to admit he's the best in wet conditions by far.

[worksux101]

Wouldn't say by far...he does have easily the best car in the grid under him...but he's definitely excellent
Last year at Germany showed thats not always true, while seb went from back of the grid to 2nd

[kamakazi]

Max has somehow saved his car twice after losing control in the wet, in almost similar fashion. Not sure if that is skill or instinct, but it is spot on
