RB serving Merc some freshly baked humble pie

For Red Bull this was a reason to take a subtle stab at last year's rivals, who were still openly enjoying the suffering of Verstappen and Sergio Perez during the Bahrain Grand Prix. At the exact moment that Red Bull lost their second car, Mercedes' social media team hurled a tweet into the world: "You love to see it," the message read.


Red Bull Racing responded exactly one week later with a victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and clearly had not forgotten the German racing stable's vitriolic message. And so, not long after the race, a tweet from the Austrian team appeared with photos of the victorious Verstappen, accompanied by exactly the same text: "You love to see it."

I'm not sure that you do either.

Lets try a Math Test:
If it takes Johnny 5 Min to walk to School
And he it takes Mary 6 Min.
Who was walking faster?

Shew, today I learned one doesn't even need to complete a lap in order to set a time. IQ200 plays here

I think Ferrari has not fully opened the taps on their engines. The straight line speed will come and they should dominate this season easily. Max was saved by the final lap - one more and Charles would have won...

We could one more lap for a thousand other races and they'd have different results. Or 5 more minutes a rugby game, one more over in cricket etc. You play to the limits of the game. Regardless both drivers had almost cooked their rear tyres so I'd still give it to VER since last two sectors are top speed limited, and not grip (besides exit of the final turn).

But yes Ferrari has said they are still being conservative with their engines so there should be more power (and straight line speed) to come. I'm more interested to see what engine reliability is going to look like. Especially since technically reliability upgrades are allowed, while performance is not (same loophole as last year).
 
So after 2021 Aby Dhabi when Latifi cost Hamilton the race, he got death threats by Hamilton fans.
Anybody know if he got death threats after this weekend when he cost Leclerc the race?
Or is it just a case of different class of supporters?

There's a lot of mockery, but no hate. Except from you. I see you deleted your comment about how you can't stand Max and his toxic team. Now you're all about Go Checo, deserved win, and please stop the hate, to try and seem neutral.

I didn't see anyone complaining about please stop the hate when you were going on about poop shoots the whole week. Or even after your deleted comment about how you can't stand the toxic red bull team. But anyway, you do you... ;)

LMAO Mike has a PVR for the internet and he's not afraid to use it.

So you want to say the 7 points he lost for being 2nd cant cost him the championship?

It's the second race of the year, there's no way to determine that now, make no mistake though, there's toxic retards out there supporting all the different teams, you can be very sure that someone somewhere will take this over the top if it happens again in the last race and affects the championship.
