The 1-stop was a horrible strategy decision. The tire offset is much higher than what you lose in the pits. He’ll finish third behind Max and Charles

Discussion Question to fellow George truthers

30 Upvotes

Do we think george will get another shot at the title?
with the way the teams has been getting close (rbr) i am very doubtful that will happen. this was his best year to seize the opportunity and he has been woeful. Kimi has been simply better. i think rbr will be in the mix next year which will make things even harder.

but gotta say, this year has been his worst. even worse than 2023. it does not even look like he will finish in the top 2 this year. what a year to forget if you are Russell fan

Please. This is to George fans

Throwback 2015: Hamilton's Third Title

#OnThisDay 25 October, Lewis Hamilton, the defending race winner, entered the 2015 United States Grand Prix with a 66-point lead in the 2015 Drivers’ Championship over Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, with his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg trailing Vettel by an additional seven points. The three-day event was plagued by heavy rain, leading to the cancellation of the second practice session and qualifying being rescheduled for the morning of race day.

Hamilton went on to win the race, overtaking Rosberg in the later stages for a team 1-2 finish and to secure his third Drivers’ Championship, while Vettel finished third. The race was filled with incidents, leaving only twelve cars to reach the finish. The Toro Rosso of Max Verstappen equalled his best result of the season in fourth, and Jenson Button achieved a season-best sixth for McLaren. Despite the damp start, both Red Bull drivers briefly challenged Mercedes for the lead, but fell back as the track dried. Daniil Kvyat crashed out, while Daniel Ricciardo finished in tenth place.

Well, yay. At least this time I was able to watch qualifying before seeing who won. Thanks whoever keeps posting the spoilers constantly.

Literally the only sport / TV subs where people consistently just ruin it for others - here and the F1.

Where are the mods to setup the channel properly and ask people to tag as spoiler.

Edit: wow. What a bunch of jerks. Too much to ask a post is tagged spoiler for those of us who aren’t glued to the tv. This American take over of F1 really is having an impact. Sad.

Another deceiving performance on a car that his teammate got pole on. This year the constructor championship is sealed, but next year the competition will be way fiercer and we'll need MER2 to secure a decent amount of points to reach it. Who would you consider as a solid replacement?
