Damon Hill was also like that. And maybe Kimi also? Very good drivers when all is well, but when it's not...

I would argue Hamilton is like that...despite his gazzilion championships.  Such a pouty princess.

Latifi in Singapore.  Can they end his contract mid-season?  He just doesn't have what it takes to be in F1.

Agreed, just be done with him.

Gutted for Alonso, he was driving so well...something is not right with those cars!
Stoked for Daniel...11 places is pretty damn good and finishing right behind his teammate who has all the upgrades.
Really stoked for Checo...well deserved win...managed to keep his shit together out front and not let the pressure get to him, even when he had to make up the 5 seconds...great driving!

Overal a kickass race, can't wait for Japan!

The honey badger is saying no to conversations with Guenther Steiner about a seat at Haas next year. He is also saying no to a possible Indy car seat. Next year may find him working for ESPN. What has happened to this guy? He has lost his mojo & cannot get it back. One of the best passers in the field on his day. His win at Monza in 2021 seems so far away.

I imagine fighting for podiums in an f1 car is a lot like a goalie being on a hot streak in the playoffs. He was wat fighting with Latifi? That Mclaren broke him lol. 

Verstappen is clearly on another level this year.

I imagine he is on all the old gear now and testing out strategies for the team etc. but yeah. He sucks in that McLaren. Maybe he has something better lined up than Haas. If the rumor of reserve at Merc is true that would likely be a better move than Haas. Turn some good lap times here and there and get the fire back. Surely Hamilton will become full time Fashionista in a year or two.

Stroll and Alonso will have any interesting relationship next year seeing as Stroll's "defensive move" almost killed him.  Besides people with the last name Villeneuve has there ever been a decent Canadian in F1?

Seems like yesterday, but it's been 25 years since this happened. Schumi is my all-time favorite F1 driver, but I gotta say this was a real bonehead move by him.

As an aside...sigh...those were the good old days....unlimited tires, unlimited fuel, no hybrid engines, way noisier cars etc. After this season, they wouldn't have V8 engines for another 9 years. Those cars were so loud, when they left after a pit stop, you could not hear the tires squeal due to the noise of the engine.

Leclerc has a right to be pissed at his team. They make a lot of mistakes.

K-Mag is not one of my favorites, but gotta hand it to him, team Haas & Gunther Steiner, being in the right time & place to get pole. Mick needs to show something, or Hulkenberg will get his seat next season. It may be too late already.

Verstappen proves, yet again, that's he a first class cunt...no other reason for today's stunt. Hopefully, Red Bull pay the penalty and Leclerc wraps up second position next weekend.

I think they are all cunts when they are driving. I think a driver has to be. It's part of the competitive personality that got them there. (Niki Lauda admitted that he was a selfish asshole & always prioritized himself first during his entire racing career.) The The Max-Checo story line will be interesting to follow in the coming months.

I am glad that George held off his team-mate to get his first win. Overall, a very entertaining race.
