Oscar just needs to survive the drag race up the hill and Kemmel to Les Combes and he's unreachable lol. Charles needs to pass Max and do the same. Who will not survive turn 1 at La Source.
Max gets by on the opening lap. LEC was looking strong...things tapering off Sir Lew up a couple of spots. should be interesting....wonder if PIA is going to wait till the last lap for the Kemmel pass.
They have a car that doesn't suit them? Cue the is it the car or driver thread.... LH got the trifecta of DRS train in STR-ALO-ALB...hope they used it to learn... like GAS (2 laps down after the water leak) (CORRECTION.... LEW got by ALB at the end? )
...at least we're talking about those guys.... ain't no one talkin' bout the Mercedes....even Lawson did better than those guys.... sjd
Processional boring race and easy win for anyone like Max, Oscar or Lando if they are on pole and are not passed on Kemmel on lap 1. Boat sized F1 cars, dirty air etc.
k Well all predicted before any laps were turned by the 'other driver' Whats funny is Charles focus is not on beating LH. It means nothing as he wants to win a title etc. His press this week said so. Again LH should just retire he is not 27 any longer. Take FA with you. New talent please. The generational shift is complete. All hail Oscar LOL
Hampered by lack of top speed, Piastri drove an intelligent race, IMO. He let Max lead, and kept his main title rival behind.
as boring as it can be dirty air, tyre going off the usual thing with f1 these days the promise of close racing have failed badly
It’s unbelievable that I’m saying this however I feel for the guy in the sense that I believe these cars have finally evolved into something that fundamentally he struggles with driving. I’m not sure he is capable of being on top again even if he were in a McLaren.
Both have said they were not happy with the cars balance and have struggled. But you don't say Leclerc can't drive these cars. Leclerc has described the car as tricky in the previous races. Sir Lewis Hamilton already beat Russell in these cars. Are you just setting the bar so high for him and expecting him to drive at his best at this point in his career?
