way go Bottas!!!
Elton doing a burnout to park on the grid..... hopefully that was his fastest set from qualy and he’s messed up, screwed his fastest set for the race
So, Massa gives lancelot another full second...i'm glad he thinks he deserves a strong 8,5 for this season, i shiver just to think what he would give to felipe!!!
It actually angers me as he has no business being in F1. I'm relatively ok with pay drivers, as long as they're competent. I'm not asking them to be the most amazing driver ever (few are), but at least being semi-competitive to your teammate is important. Stroll's teammate is not Schumacher, Vettel, Verstappen....It's Felipe Massa who has never been the same post-2009, after that Ferrari broke his spirit and now age has caught up with him. Yet Massa is much faster than him, qualifying around .8 on average...I understand if it was like this early on but as time and relative experience caught on he has not improved. he's been lapped by his teammate on pure pace, generally is over a second a lap slower in the races...it's a pathetic showing. He's not F1 material, let daddy buy him an LMP2/3 team and play in that.
+1 on all. As I stated some time ago - Stroll peaked after race 1. Stroll, his family and Williams are the epitome of a 'joke' this year. I have more respect for Sauber.
His qualifying in Monza was good. But you can't have a driver that *might* perform once a year, on a day it doesn't really matter. On Sunday he didn't deliver as usual and only finished ahead of Massa, whom he tried forcing off...Massa starting far behind him of course and had a damaged car the entire race... Even so even that qualifying was grossly exaggerated, his supporters saying ''he qualified 2nd''. He didn't. He qualified 4th, and only because of renault reliability did he inherit 2nd place.
Stroll went backwards in his time from Q1 to Q2.....the kid did'nt progress......he regressed. He has been stagnant throughout the year with no sign of progression. I hope his team-mate is not a team player and makes an embarresement out of him....I would. To think he will be doing the Daytona 24......I definitely will stay on top of that and watch him drive.....not race...just drive.
Bottas is just 22pts behind him. Seb needs a dnf to lose his second place in the WDC. Possible? maybe. Probable? It's in his favour as the probability is high.
