Yeah pretty sure Red Bull is going to release him early out of his contract.

Norris had a pretty amazing drive today. Hamilton and Ricciardo too.

Awesome race.

Leclerc could have won this one without that unfortunate safety car.

And that last move on Perez! That what I call racing.

Was interesting to hear the roar of the crowd when LeClerc overtook Max. No one but the Dutch like Max.

I like Max. He’s got a little schumi in him.

I’m a firm believer that it pays to be a winner.

These records being set are atypical and may last awhile. I remember when a lot a folks didn’t like Michael either.

I think people often forget, and end up romanticizing a lot of recent F1 champions like Fernando, Lewis, Sebastian. Go listen to the ex-teammates of those guys, and then tell me how much you idolize them.

I like his dad Jöst too. Love what his father did for Max. I think most recent champions have had that kind of dedication by their fathers.

I actually like Max and Red Bull.
I think he some times goes a bit over the top (like in turn 1 in las vegas) but that's a good attitude in my book. You take chances and get sometimes get punished.

Leclerc, Verstappen and Alonso are my favourite derivers in the current lineup.

They are what driving an f1 (and car racing) is all about in my opinion.

Even if I'm a Ferrari tifoso I can't stand Sainz. I really can't stand that guy, really.

Did not want to start a redundant thread...so I will just bump and comment to revive.

Any F1 fans .... Watching qualifying in Budapest live currently!

McLaren and Lando Norris fan here! Go #4!!!!!

We love Oscar too!!!!

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

That was perfect! Go McLaren!

Oops ..too soon......come on man!

(Edit: phew)

 

[dbagchee]

Yeah it's been a fun season so far - I'm rooting for McClaren as well - I'm hoping PiastrI can get a win this season!

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

Lando got his first this season, and looks good for at least a couple more ...and yes... Oscar is amazing too....but to win the constructor's, they have to be very smart with that team game.

Oscar is amazing though, Lando just has that next level tire game.....mostly. hahaha.

Good to know I am not alone around here.

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

Alrighty, Grand Prix Sunday at the Hungaroring (got the spelling correct on first try, noice!) in Budapest, Hungary

Let's have a good clean race. Let's go Lando and Oscar!!!!

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

Lights Out and Away We Go!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dbagchee]

I thought the race started an hour later so I’m about 20 minutes behind the live broadcast - great start for Oscar!

Indeed....max is a baby!

Won't spoil anything for anyone then!

 

[dbagchee]

ok all caught up! Wow lots of drama in that one I’m glad Lando finally gave that place back to Oscar. Awesome fight with Hamilton and Verstappen! Verstappen really lost his head at the end there.

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

I have mixed emotions, but the result is the same...so I'm happy.

The max meltdown was the best....I love that he is showing his true colors again.

I think the team unnecessarily created a problem, that Oscar couldn't fix himself....Lando did nothing wrong...and McLaren has a history of taking wins from lando, they did it with Daniel once too....

I think if Max doesn't throw a fit at the beginning, and blocks Lando from passing Oscar, Lando wins hands down....first issue....then they undercut their own teammate...that was stupid...and then to complain openly on the radio for 10 laps so everyone can hear....hmmmmmm

I knew Lando would do the right thing, but we all know Oscar didn't "win" the race. It was a gentlemanly gift, from a team player.

No hard feelings ... Game on!!!!
