    https://www.planetf1.com/news/ricciardo-i-changed-f1s-level-of-overtaking/

    I was completely unaware that Ricciardo revolutionized F1 racing. To think that before him, all of these no-name also-rans like Seb, Lewis, Alonso and all those "greats" before them on the grid were just driving around in a circle completely unaware that getting around a car in front was possible. No wonder F1 was so boring all those year during the Senna, Prost, Shumacher, etc., Hopefully, according to this comment, we can all look forward to drivers taking his lead and realizing they can pass cars too, but maybe still can't because... you know... they're not like Daniel... able to revolutionize car racing. Thank you Daniel. You've Made F1 Great Again.

    "Maybe they learned from me and the way I was racing, so perhaps I set a new level and showed people what was possible, and the drivers that were willing to try it were trying it.

    “I realise that sounds a bit cocky, but I really do believe that.

    “I’m not saying all of them can do it, but at least more of them are trying!”

    you have to recognize that Ricciardo has mastered the overtaking under breaks from 1000 m behind like no other,.

    About the only gripe I have about Ricciardo is when things go well, it's all him. When things don't go well, it's all them. He's a great driver, but he needs to lay off the self gratification a little bit.

    He is no different from many F1 drivers, I would say.

    Also, he has been groomed by the Red Bull management.

    They always take all the credit in case of victory, and just lay the blame on Renault if things go wrong.

    Yep, out of the many overtakes he has done, he's gotten better with it for 2018 even though the one at Baku 2018 was 33% his fault.

    Oh dear Ricci, I hope your comments were completely out of context, this is the sort of ******** Elton usually comes out with, please don’t you start too! :)

    Team Principles are privvy to a drivers mindset years before the public catch wind of it.

    I like the guy but little surprise he's off to Renault.

    He’s always been like that... you don’t notice it because he’s got that big smile while he says that crap. From day one he’s been a bit much for me. I like him well enough but good Lord!!

    I guess they all live in a bubble... be it Lewis thinking he is the blessed one, Vettel not seeing his faults or Max not seeing he is racing to hard, Grosjean thinking the others are to blame, Stroll blaming the car and it goes on and on....
    Maybe the only genuine person is Kimi because he does not make a secret that he actually does not give a ****...

    This reply with pic still making me laugh.

    Preparing for the Annual Thanksgiving Feast here in the USA. Family asked why I was chuckling. Thankfully there were a couple F1 fans in the mix to appreciate the humor.

    Happy thanksgiving to all you Americans out there!

    My buddy in Cali texted me a photo of him posing holding up a massive turkey he shot with his crossbow for dinner! Have you not got a supermarket out there? Hehehe. I told him to call it Lewis Turkilton!

    Awesome! However, that's not a crossbow, it's a normal compound bow. I have one of each. :)

    And I’ve now had a complaint from turkeys all over the world that want me to state explicitly that they are not related to Lewis in any way, and that my views do not infer they agree with him in any way hehehe

    Hey, you’re lucky I didn’t go straight to ‘what the **** is that?’ Rather than realising it’s a stringed weapon hehehe. I’m in the UK, where most can’t get a licence for a shotgun (I do, and I love shooting ****!)

    Funny thing is when Maulaf posted about Rics 1000ft braking prowess ... that was the 1st thing that immediately popped in my head and I raced to find an image because I thought for sure someone else would beat me to it! For once...just once... I got to be the funny guy here!! Hahaha!

    Happy Thanksgiving from the US!
