Not being a long-time fan, I have no dog in the fight so I'm enjoying the racing without any concern for who wins. Just in it to watch racing, and there has been some great racing this year.

yeah, ferrari is absolutely snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. Its laughable as this point.

max is on cruise control to win his first DESERVED title.

I said what i said.

In other news...

I wonder how much Lawrence Stroll paid Alonso to hop aboard their sinking ship? And I wonder how long until Lewis will replace him? And then Verstappen... I think Lawrence is just hoping some of that championship-winning talent will rub off on his lukewarm mayonnaise sandwich of a son.

being on cruise control doesnt mean its deserved IMO. if theres no battle, theres no victory.

dont get me wrong. max and his pops are both royal POS. Ive been hating max ever since he kept crashing in to vettel (preventing seb from having a proper battle with lewis)

meh. if you show up ready to do battle, and your competition insists on taking themselves out, repeatedly (due to poor reliability or poor strategy, or both), then it still counts as a victory. F1 has demonstrated plenty of times over the years that you can go from midfield to podium by doing nothing, while cars ahead of you crash into one another or break. if RBR wins a title JUST by being reliable, they still get their name in the record books.

okay, i can agree with you on all your points, including that this will be his first deserved. last years desperate and dirty driving still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Todays race was exciting, yet RB still came out on top. until now i wouldnt have called this domination, but similar to what brndck said, competition didnt show up. hopefully ferrari and merc can step up these last few races. absolutely hoping for it by COTA
