Lichfield Dean Posted August 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2022 I enjoyed my trip to Spa. Not a great race sadly. The cars look so composed and comfortable through Eau Rouge though it just doesn't seem like a challenge for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BOF Posted August 29, 2022 Author Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2022 Absolute peak Ferrari to go for the fastest lap with Leclerc, fail to get it, speed in the pitlane and get a penalty that puts him behind Alonso. Absolutely chef's kiss and then Binotto to say they did nothing wrong. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Verstappen is too good and the Red Bull is too good to make this other than a foregone conclusion. It will take him missing multiple races or full on incapacitating to stop him now. Ferrari meanwhile cant stay out of their own way. The fastest lap fiasco highlighted that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Max needs a rival to make this interesting and there isn’t anything in sight. End the season now. I was bored to tears watching the highlights yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem then is Lewis will probably win a few and take points off Russell in races Mercedes is on top That's why a No1 and No2 driver is the way to go for the top teams. Ferrari will always contrive to lose. So Leclerc is **** basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best combination is the best driver in the 2nd best car and the 2nd best driver in the best car. 1990s Schumacher Ferrari Vs Williams / McLaren That was the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 31, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2022 As I said last year. Max needs Lewis needs Max. And they both need subservient team-mates. It may not be what we want, or what we say we want. But for the best, most exciting championship you just need to look at 2021. I'm actually quite surprised and disappointed that Merc dropped the ball so spectacularly this year and more so that they haven't managed to pick it back up again after nearly half a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 There we go then. Alpine tried to appeal for a foul but ultimately them trying to play both Alonso and Piastri backfires horribly, with Alonso and Webber's help you feel. Gasly for the Alpine seat seems to be the loudest shouting atm. Although he and Ocon don't like each other do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 2, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted September 2, 2022 Yep that's that done and dusted. Quote Ruling reveals Piastri signed McLaren F1 deal after British GP Oscar Piastri signed his deal to join the McLaren Formula 1 team the Monday after the British Grand Prix, it has been revealed. Piastri has had his deal with McLaren ratified by the Contract Recognition Board, not a contract that Alpine was adamant existed on its side. A tribunal appointed by the CRB met on Monday this week and its unanimous decision is that Piastri – currently Alpine’s reserve driver – is entitled to drive for McLaren for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. In its short announcement, the CRB stated the contract between McLaren and Piastri is dated July 4, 2022 – the Monday after the Silverstone round of the championship. That is much earlier than was widely expected as rumours of McLaren’s interest Piastri only emerged a couple of weeks later. It was also some seven weeks before McLaren confirmed Daniel Ricciardo’s exit, having agreed an early termination of his contract – although this itself had already been under discussion for some time. McLaren said it is “delighted” to have signed Piastri, who is the 2021 Formula 2 champion and has a stellar junior record, alongside Lando Norris. More in the link ...
