Popular Post StanBalaban Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2022 With Nelson and Jos as Max's father figures, it's almost a wonder that Max isn't even more of a prick than he is. Almost. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 28, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted June 28, 2022 Back to this weekend's race. I'm expecting Hamilton to be competitive. I wouldn't completely rule out a Merc win. Obviously Max is the favourite but Brits at Silverstone and a few upgrades, and they're not a million miles away on pace anyway. So we shall see.

Genie Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Will the Ferrari’s continue with their famous Italian reliability? Ideally they take the fight to Red Bull along with the Merc’s. It could be a classic. Edited June 28, 2022 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now at the point where I'd be surprised if Ferrari had a smooth weekend for both drivers, and you don't win Championships like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton's result in Canada, he was 7s behind after essentially 15 laps after the safety car. That's still a significant pace gap to Red Bull to bridge.

Almost. Didn't his dad beat his mother? I find it astonishing he even has a relationship with the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes seem to be the most reliable at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 28, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted June 28, 2022 Vips dropped by Red Bull. Quote Red Bull has dropped Juri Vips from its Junior Team following its investigation into his use of a racial slur during a live stream last week. Vips, 21, was the team’s official test and reserve driver. He participated in the first practice session for the Spanish Grand Prix for the team alongside Max Verstappen. “Following its investigation into an online incident involving Juri Vips, Oracle Red Bull Racing has terminated Juri’s contract as its test and reserve driver,” the team said in a statement. “The team do not condone any form of racism.” Footage of Vips playing a Call of Duty on a live stream with fellow Red Bull Junior Team member Liam Lawson and others emerged last week. The phrase “bitch n*****” is heard at one point, following which several of the players responded: “Juri”. More in link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from the Barcelona form they will be right up there, the car should be very good through the high speed corners when porpoising is less of a factor on the smoother non street track surface.

CVByrne Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 You wont want to miss qualifying today. Looks like heavy rain is going to hit the track for an hour from 3pm. This should make for an entertaining weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
