lol miami
Best part is from everything I've seen the poors had a great time. It was only the ones spending $13k a ticket that hated it lol
@hayvis
I really hope they have, having 6 possible winners each weekend would be amazing. Plus I'd like to see Lewis shut some people up by winning again.
I love that you think verstappen is dumb
hayvis: bout time for Red Bull to blow up again.
race: Mercedes limps home after nearly blowing up.
hayvis: verstappen dumb, Brits are super smart. This race proves it.
race: verstappen wins by 20 seconds and laps 17 out of 19 cars. Hamilton wanted to retire on lap 1 after getting a puncture
I love it
Just to clarify, I don't think Hamilton is brain of Britain, but Max makes him look like a rocket scientist. Most of the drivers are reasonably competent mentally, Russell is director of the drivers association as all the others respect his intellect. Riccardio and Verstappen are both borderline stupid.
Max's skills should have made him a dominant force well before now. It's the thing that will hold him back from being a GOAT.
a dominant force well before now? How many drivers in the history of F1 were dominant forces before they turned 23 years old? Are you saying he’s the most talented driver of all time?
He's insanely talented, which is why was the youngest driver to ever race in F1. That it took him seven years to win a title which he was gifted due to a mistake, is an underachievemnt for the money and effort invested in him.
he won a title in his age 23 season…
PS - @OU11 - why the fuck do you keep signaling me in just to disagree with me? It's like all of the other topics on these boards these days. All you seem to want to do is troll me.
My opinions on a lot of things may as well seem alien to the few people left on Nutopia when in reality they are not unpopular ones. I think a few people have totally ruined these boards and chased most of the funny and interesting poeple off or forced them into posting a whole lot less.
The irony of you signalling me back in because it's dead just to chase me off again is just astounding.
Hey bud, I didn't bring up Verstappen's intelligence and I didn't disagree with you for exactly the reason you have written in this post. I said I love that you think he's dumb because it's a funny take. Then I just wanted to clarify your position because to think he's dumb you have to think he is so much more talented than the smart drivers, I was just curious. I never once argued with you. I think you have me confused with wolfmad
"In his age 23 season". You mean when he was 24 (do you have an MV poster on your wall or something? You sound like the fan boys on twitter). So youngest ever F1 driver takes 7 seasons to win and is only 4th youngest champion. Red bull did not count on it taking him that long, else they wouldn't have put him in F1 so early. The reality is that he started far younger but took far more seasons than a lot of other guys to win.
He is an underachiever. Basically beacuse he is a massive talent but is a slow learner. Let's be honest he basically blew it last season too, due to brainless incidents which he would have been better off stearing clear of) but was gifted the championship by a mistake.
put him in the Mercedes and Lewis in the Red Bull from the time max has been in F1 til now and I guarantee you that max has multiple F1 titles and Lewis has how many ever years that is fewer.
I’ll agree with you that he’s a bit thick…but to hold racing in f1 as a teenager/early 20s in the 5th-6th fastest car on the grid against him and say he’s underachieved because he hasn’t won a title is laughable. How many titles has Lewis won when he’s driving the 5th-6th best car on the grid? We’ve seen how he’s done so far this season with the 5th-6th fastest…and it’s not exactly pretty getting outrun by his brand new teammate every race.
Im also not a verstappen fanboy. He’s a bit too thick for my liking, though I don’t dislike him either. I like sainz, Norris, Russell and bottas for the most part
I do agree with you somewhat, I’m not at the extreme you are (and I know you’re using hyperbole when you say he’s basically mentally disabled). I think you hold his early years constant in your evaluation of him, whereas I think he’s grown in racing intelligence since Lauda said what he said. But he’s still no Lewis, but I think he has more raw talent than Lewis. I think when he’s 36 (should he make it that far) he will probably be a lot closer to Lewis than he is now. He still doesn’t have the temperament of Lewis so he won’t ever be the same but he’s going to keep learning as his experience grows.
And I think he’ll find those limits as he ages, to me he’s pushing the boundaries of his talent and finding where the edge is. To me he’s just immature but he’s a prick so I understand why a lot of people see that as him being dumb.The thing is, it's all opinion and I'm aware of that, but I always think that Verstappen has a far more showy driving style than Lewis and therefore to the naked eye of some people just looks impressive (when in actuall fact these impressive displays are actually a drawback - see Saudi 2021 where he looked amazing but stacked it into the wall because he wasn't aware of his own limits).
This is the opinion I most agree with on Lewis Hamilton, and can be the reason why he just doesn't get the credit because he's just a clean and unshowy driver -
