LMFAO

that was not his only questionable statement he made... always nagging about the RB atmosphere was toxic (we know better now, even giving RIC an extra year to save an embarrasing exit...)...what a clown, don't miss him one bit!
good riddance.

I think Max has shown some of the most incredible moves, racelines and saves in the rain.
brazil 2016 anyone?

I think next to Senna he's the best rain driver ever.

Poor Chas screamed again, I can hardly read it just put it down to the weather.

It's unbelievable.....
And to think they had such good years with Todt and Schumacher. It's really a people issue.

Sure my friend . I couldn't agree more

But actually I already know this from 2012/2013 and that is 10 years ago .

MAX is actually unbeatable in the rain . Thanks to Jos's gladiator training in the rain by running countless laps in the rain with 'slicks !
Here in Belgium in Genk at the Home of Champions track => https://www.homeofchampions.be/

There was only one driver at the track while the rain was pouring down ..
And that was always MAX !

Today ?
MAX didn't take too many risks for his 3rd Worldtitle in a row...

As I said : This is only the beginning...

Off to Brands Hatch tomorrow for the American Speedfest featuring amongst many other things two NASCAR Whelan Euro Series races, should be back by 7PM for the F1 action
I'll be wearing my RB gear there!

Seems more often than not I'm screaming at Ferrari for not getting a banker lap. Going back YEARS & YEARS.

Hoping a slot opens up with MB. Charlie needs it for his blood pressure.

Sainz got a 3P grid penalty . This means P11 for Sainz at the start grid .

Sainz stupid(!) acts were life-threatening for Gasly at 300km/h and other drivers ..

That's what I said about Sainz during the Q2 => https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=141

Fresh from the elation of bagging a front-row start in Montreal, the Hulk has been hit with a 3P grid penalty after the stewards found him guilty of committing a violation under red flags during qualifying.

However, he was later investigated for a potential red flag breach and, following their review, the stewards decided to give the Haas driver a 3P drop, demoting him from P2 to P5 – giving spots to Alonso, LEW and the Russell boy in the process.

Too bad for Nico the Hulk...

[NickyC]

Too bad for Nico, but at least he won't get in Alonso's way at the start. Would like to see Alonso at least lead for a lap or two before the inevitable.

[Autobacs]

It will be interesting to see the race between ALO and the MERC duo.

Normally a 10-place grid drop for a red flag violation, but the penalty was mitigated to a 3-place grid drop.

I think the grid penalty for HULK is a bit harsh.
He had no profit from his action, and didn't really create a dangerous situation. Imho only giving him penalty points should suffice. I have a feeling that now, in the post Masi era, more grid penalties are given, then when Masi, or Whiting for that matter, was race director.
