Formula One Freaks-this is it!

I think he’s a great driver. But not helping checo get the extra points to jump ahead of Leclerc for second was a dick move. I remember him on multiple occasions thanking checo for his help in some of the races this year. I would like to see how he’s going to help his team mate in Abu Dhabi.

Anyone else think verstappen was acting like a little bitch? 

He always does, and Little Man Horner keeps encouraging it. 

He could potentially become one of the greats, but his shitty personality will always let him down.

I've heard multiple lead drivers over the years basically say the same thing, including Hamilton,  Vettel and Alonso.  If I remember correctly,  there was a lot of whining over the radio both ways during Rosbergs championship year over Hamilton. 

What about Leclerc asking for Sainz to give up his podium so he could get more points. 

And I am not a fan of Max  lol, but he is just like everyone else. I thought he should have given up the place personally

Top drivers are almost always douchebags in their prime. That was a million dollar fuck you. That said, it is a sport of alpha males and Max let the team know he is the boss. Cant argue with that. The days of gentlemen racing is long gone.

I just hope Perez remembers it and has the stones to disobey when team orders to help Max are issued next season

I can see where leclerc was coming from but I’m glad binttio didn’t ask sainz to give up his spot.

Yup.

Uneventful conclusion to the season. The race came down to strategy but kudos to LeClerc for a great drive. Congrats to Ferrari for second place in the constructors championship (ugh I hate to say that ).  Danny Ric to Red Bull as a reserve/stunt driver. Looking forward to 2023.

Kind of sad watching the "wily old fox Seb Vettel"'s last race. Leaving RBR was the worst thing possible for his career yet the best thing possible for his personality.

Maybe bad for his career, but not for his bank account.  Hard to say no when Ferrari offers you 37m a year plus free Ferraris.

Very good point!

Binotto out at Ferrari.  What an agonizing shit show it is to cheer for that team.

The Yankees of F1. Too many embarrassing moments in 2022. They definitely improved in 2022.

I think Drive to Survive starts Feb.24th, I better finish last season lol.

What do you think about adding teams?

I generally say adding two more teams would be o.k, but some issues would have to be addressed. 

I think some tracks (Monaco) may be too small for more cars.

Also I would like to see some type of luxury tax system so a more competitive field is established. If the new teams are going to always be a couple of laps down,  why bother. 

Get_Right

I am all for more competition but totally agree with you that some tracks are too small.  It is never good to see the entire field get lapped by three or four lead cars. I do not have a great solution as the deep pockets will always be able to outspend, even if there is a tax. It is the main complaint with F1. The top three teams seem to always produce a race winner.

Drive to Survive returns today!

Some good action today.
looks like Alonso could make things interesting this year

Get_Right

I thought it was a bit boring, but yes, exciting to see Alonso fight for a podium.  Watching him pass the mercedes was surreal.

It is early in the season,  but maybe this is the year Perez pulls a Rosberg and beats Max for the championship
