Then last year the W Series pile-up, the 24h Aitken crash, the quali crash from Lando and the crash in F3, because of this Eau Rouge-Raidillon thing this track is just too dangerous.

Max deserved the championship in 2021

That's not unpopular.willmao

#

Jeddah is the race most fun to watch

peak hamlet
#

They changed it

#

this year

#

So cars flying back onto the racing surface should now not be able to happen anymore, or at least, risk of it happening is massively reduced

shell comet
#

Oh, that looks much better.

#

Hopefully it really works.

Bottas>russell

peak hamlet
shell comet
#

Have they done something with the other side as well?

peak hamlet
#

But quite a lot of crashes there happen due to pinballing, first crashing into the left then the right

#

So they took out the first risk basically

shell comet
#

If this corner is then really fixed, then Spa is actually nice again.

if you still think leclerc is better than verstappen you have no idea what you're talking about

#

probably not unpopular but just had to get this out there

Both are good in their own way

They weren't in 2018.

And Alfa is just they're sponsor.

The team itself is still Sauber.

Lewis Hamilton is the most overhated driver on the grid rn.

#

I agree with this

shell comet
#

yes

#

I'm not a fan of him, but I anyway don't understand the hate against him.

olive folio
#

maybe the same reason with seb

#

hate because of domination

#

and also can be because hes black

#

and he ”cries”

#

(which he even doesnt)

shell comet

Tbh there's not a single driver in F1 I hate.

Leclerc isn't mature enough to win a championship yet.

#

Don't get me wrong, his racecraft is excellent, but he never chooses his own strategies, and is prone to make mistakes on occasions

True

I think everyone is mature enough for a championship, they just need good adaptability and support from the team

Yea, a guy who never won a race is better than eigh- seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton who was beaten by Nico Rosberg in 2016 in equal machinery

#

You can't really compare Lewis and Lando, Lewis is already a super star of the sport whilst Lando is in the making to become one, different generations were never comparable and will never be comparable.

If Ferrari didnt fail charles he would lead withnearly a 20 point gap

because

he has 6 or 7 poles right

he dnfed like 4 of them

in alot of raced

if he didnt

max wouldn’t of stood a chance of beating him yet

F1 would be much more exciting to watch if they still used the old points system (points for the top 6)

Stroll 2020 was massively underrated

stroll sucked ass in 2020 in the 3rd best car

He had 2 podiums and would've had a win as well. And he had a lot of bad luck with random punctures.

Personally, I liked the Abu Dhabi GP

#

Abe before you say

#

Oh he's a Micheal Masi fanatic

#

No

#

I liked the racing

#

Like with checo

#

And that overtake max did was very nice

#

Also the atmosphere made it so much better

shell comet
#

The decisions of Masi were really questionable, but that "clash of the titans", being on equal points in the last race of the season and the championship decides in the last lap of the whole season was just absolutely insane.

teal dove
#

AD was a mix for me: the championship quite literally came down to the last lap, BUT, rules were broken to do so.

williams isnt a shitbox

Top 7 best drivers ever

  1. Senna

  6. Vettel
  7. Louis Hamilton

Maybe Kimi even Above Lewis

Senna is the best driver imo

Hear me out F1 would be better if we removed all the over achievers into a separate series or sub race or some thing

Point is we could see the talent of Stroll and Goatifi in all its glory

glacial jungle

it would be unfair as the top drivers cant be there to compare their real talent

frank barn
#

Sainz is doing horribly this seasOn

That's really unpopular, due to the fact he's won his 1st ever GP of his whole career and his 1st ever pole in his career and his 2nd ever pole in his career.

Colton Herta shouldn't be in f1

but

Zhou proved to be very good

If it wasn't for random DNFs he would have at least double the points

Logan Sargeant is not ready for F1 and Williams picked him up way too early. In F2 hes not really great

Yeah, until Monaco he was kinda in his rookie season, but then from Canada on he was really great.

Yeah, I hope haas don't fuck him off but I have a feeling they will

shell comet

If the car would've been the same as it was at the beginning of the season, he would've had actually more points than K-Mag.

Underrated: did very good performances in 2020 and also in 2021, plus suzuka 2022 (all of these with the worst car)

He was just very lucky.

in Monza

That he got into the Williams on their strongest track.

and in Alex's ones

So he had the car on their strongest track and with the weakest possible teammate.

#

Of course he used his chance very well.

But looked better than he is.

apart from 2014, 2016 and post-2018 he placed consistently in the top 5 (in terms of the wdc)

But in 2017 and 2018 yeah he was past his prime but he was nowhere near Sebastian

I dislike the Jaguar E-Type’s styling. I think there are much better looking cars from that era, and I dislike the long hood’s styling, I generally think it’s just a disproportionate car and there are many other cars in a similar bracket that are much more attractive

I honestly think Jeddah as a track isn't that bad and that many crashes there wouldnt nearly be talked about as much had they happened anywhere else.

#

It does have more of a risk for crashes than many other tracks but its still been built up to standard and honestly I think it's good to have tracks like this, or Monaco, or Montreal, where mistakes actually mean your race/quali is over (like Verstappens quali lap last year) and you can't just go through miles of asphalt run-off (heavy crashes on the other hand aren't something that should happen but theyre not exclusive to Jeddah either)
