Former Formula One driver Juan Pablo Montoya has told that he had to laugh at Lewis Hamilton. The Colombian thinks it is a bit hypocritical of the seven-time world champion to complain about the dominance of Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing. The seven-time Grand Prix winner by MyBettingSites.
Montoya said he found it funny that Lewis Hamilton was complaining because the Briton himself was in a similar situation when he dominated. "It’s funny because Lewis keeps coming out and saying ‘it’s unfair, it’s unfair’. He’s already predicting that Max is going to win next year but you look back at his period of dominance: was it down to you, or was it down to the car?"
Montoya on Verstappen's dominance
"We were all happy for you when you dominated," Montoya said. The Former Williams and McLaren driver also feels that the car is very important when you look at the performances of different Formula 1 drivers.
"If you look at Lando against Piastri for example, Piastri is doing a great job in his first season, but Lando is beating him 90 percent of the time. If Lando was in the quickest car, he would be winning every race and it would be him instead of Max," Montoya said.
Well said Montoya, just too much complaining from LH... Just show how average he is without a fast car...
1. The RB was not slower than the Merc in 2021. That is fantasy. 2. Rosberg is superior to anyone that Max has raced. Beat Schumi 3 times, but past his prime. 4. Lewis beat Rosberg 3/4 times they raced. 5. Max lost 2/3 times to Daniel, and lame excuses about his age don’t count just like excuses for Lewis’s losses don’t count.
I had to google "Lewis Hamilton unfair" to find where he said Redbull's dominance was unfair. He didn't. It's one thing when regular armchair fans believe other people's narratives but public figures should do the minimum fact checking of googling for direct quotes before they say silly things like this.
To summarise the conclusion of this blog :1.You can' t say anything wrong about RBR , Max, Horner, Marko.2. Max has always won in slow cars and had only the strong teammates. 3.Hamilton is a lowlife accordind to some guys.4.There are some guys who are protected by the moderators and their job is to provoke Hamilton's fans . This comment is for Hamilton's fans only with the hope they will learn something from these conclusions and spend too little time to reply at some comments who comes from Max's fans especially.
Hi Cristi, I do not think your assesment is right. I have seen some famous Lewis fans on here that can say what they want and nothing happens. So sorry u feel that way but I promise u. It goes both ways. PS sorry about the spelling mistakes. English is 2nd language.
He is a Verstappen fan that one but pretends to be a Ferrari fan ?.
I know .He's a ''legend'' on the blog... He is the one that he is happy in eevery situation..
I ve read a comment here from a guy who calls himself a Ferrari fan but in reality he is the fan of every team except Mercedes and maybe Mclaren who said that Kimi has beaten Hamilton in an inferior equipement. If Ferrari was an inferior car why Mclaren has received that technical papers of Ferrari 2007 to risk the DSQ and 100 million USD dollars fine? It is illogical to me.But I guess that the hate towards Hamilton clouded his mind when he post this comment.
I wonder why Montoya didn't win a single title in his career ? The driver was to blame or the car? I guess the car was to blame not the driver ! It seems that Montoya is more hypocrit than Hamilton !
No, the FIA were to blame. Montoya was the only person to really challenge Schumacher when Ferrari were dominant and that USA penalty will always be another point of controversy. You really need to step back. You allow your bitterness to cloud reality.
Even if I said that I won't answer u I did it because Montoya didn't win with the Mclaren oe Williams because their cars were poor in terms of performance.......It wasn't the FIA or the aliens who stopped Montoya to win some titles...So my head was crystal clear because i never put the blame on Montoya in my comment.And this is my last reply to u....
With lewis its the car that won .know he shown in last 18months he not that great driver he done 360 at siverstone .got penalty in last race .and toto tell him shut up and drive.lewis is only use to being up outfront
Verstappen had 8 years in F1 doing nothing until Masi and FIA corruptly intervened on his behalf to stop Hamilton. I would be mad at Hamilton if he had won a championship through corruption like Verstappen did in 2021
This comment is pure hypocracy. Are you mad at Hamilton for 2008? I doubt it. As for Verstappen doing nothing in 8yrs, you really are thin on arguement. This statement shows clearly you are either extremely bitter or know absolutely nothing about F1 or motor racing in general.
You are the bitter one because I have exposed your boy as nothing
So it's OK for others to say that it's just the car, but when it's thrown back at them, it's a heinous crime? Hamilton knows what he could do in that RBR car and would take Verstappen all the way! Shame we will never see it!
As I wrote yesterday, not sure HAM will get along with the RB. HAM is complaining since 1½ season about the lose rear end of his MB. The RB on the other hand, is known for its lose rear end. So yeah...
And being gifted a win at Spa for a race that never was. It amazes me how that was forgotten. That should not have had any points. I hear that fans didn't get a refund either due to that debacle!
Nobody was gifted a win. Just because you are struggling to interpret the rules, doesnt mean a win was gifted to Max. Once the safety car begins, the race has officially begun. But the conditions didnt allow the drivers to go racing without the safety car. Thus, under the regulations , half points were awarded. Read this article, it clearly explains it “However, for the determination of points, Article 6.5 is applicable, the leader having crossed the Control Line 3 times, therefore complying with the requirement for the leader to have completed more than 2 laps in order for half points to be awarded.” https://www.crash.net/f1/news/986288/1/why-half-points-were-awarded-onelap-belgian-f1-gp
Yes, isn’t that the same race where Lewis was out qualified by Russell in a Williams. That would have been the easiest win for Max in 2021 because none of the drivers good see the car in front of them - and Max was on pole so he was the only driver that NEVER had ANYBODY in front of him. That was 12.5 points that Max lost, not won!
Only competitive team-mate Hamilton had, was Alonso on his first year. While I agree Hamilton did really great. There was also a factor of mind games from Lewis and Alonso hot-head at that time answering to these games and getting a penalty and losing the championship cause of that. Then came finnish nobodies as Kovalainen and Bottas and B-list drivers as Button and Rosberg. And even being in B-list, Rosberg managed to win over Hamilton. 2022 Hamilton finally had a good-team again and lost it in hist first year. ...just proves that nobody is bulletproof. Everybody are winnable. Even B list drivers have a small chance against A list drivers.
I disagree that Button and Rosberg were B list drivers. The only way to decide it would be to have both Hamilton and Verstappen in the same car, on neutral territory.
For some guy Albon and Gasly were a mix of Alain Prost- Michael Schumacher - Ayrton Senna- Jackie Stewart - Miki Lauda and the list can continue and the first driver from RBR has fought like the Allied Forces in D-Day to beat the german troops on Normandy beaches to beat these guys...
Well with Lewis, when Mercedes clearly had the best car on the grid, we knew he was the best driver on the grid for these 2 reasons: 1. Lewis raced in 2 different teams and won Championships. 2. Lewis has beaten competitive team-mates Unfortunately when you are in a dominant car and there's no measure these questions and comments from M makes little or no sense.
@Vegan, You forgot. Max beating Lewis Hamilton...the greatest of all time isn't it? So to compare Lewis beating 3 world champions means nothing. At the end of the day. Max beat Lewis who beat those other 3 world champions, and to beat the greatest of all time is something more admirable. I do not want to get in an argument with you, but you should think before you post because you leave the door wide open for anyone to plug holes in your statement.
Lewis has not won a championship without the fastest equipment. In fact, he could have had 3 more titles which he lost to Rosberg, Max and one to Kimi while he was in the dominant Mclaren. Lewis has been the most fortunate driver to have spent a decade, a whole 10 years in F1 with the fastest car on the grid. No other driver has had this opportunity in the history of F1.
Lewis lost to Kimi by 1 point, he runner-up with 109 points. Hamilton recorded nine consecutive podium finishes in his debut season, more than any other rookie in Formula One history. Rosberg was a close battle down to the last race, Lewis had a few DNFs too otherwise he would have won 2016 too, slightly confused about losing to Max in a McLaren, Lewis was at Mercedes when max arrived
@Doink I think the opposite. Lewis made that mistake as a rookie, and it happened to him, as you say with bad tires, but also due to lack of experience. That's why I say it was naive, because it was. If Lewis or Max were to lose the championship like that now, due to their experience, they certainly could not call it naive, but a catastrophic mistake, which should not have happened to them. In my context naivety is: immaturity, youth and inexperience.
You seem want to make a point about Lewis making a naïve error, but conveniently forget to consider it was damp track, wet in places, he was on worn tyres with canvas exposed and when most of us would have put it in the wall long before but your calling his rookie error naïve, it would be naive NOWi agree but not as a first year rookie hence why I mentioned max, now that's naive
@Doink Losing the championship like that was really naive and it was funny for me because I was rooting for Kimi. Almost the same thing happened to him the following year in the last decisive race, but he was lucky to win the championship. If Max had come to F1 at the age of 22, and not at 17 as an up-and-coming kid, he certainly wouldn't have done some s**t, and with more experience he would have driven smarter. I believe that, like Lewis, he immediately got a dominant car, so that he too would fight for the championship. Are you saying Lewis never hit the pit wall? "Jesus max crashed into the pit wall on new tyres last weekend". - this was unnecessary for you!
He had just one more that season. I don't remember which gimmick you're referring to, but it was 44 wins, similar to what Max is getting close to now.
Ok, So explain how Max beat Lewis for the WDC in 2021 when Max had 4DNF’s to Lewis solitary 1? In 2016 Lewis had 2 DNF’s and Rosberg suffered 1 - that is a massive difference wow!
He lost to Rosberg but let’s not forget the DNFs and the stunt he pulled at Monaco
You forget he was driving with canvas showing on his tyres in damp conditions, pretty good for a rookie first season, he made a rookie error expecting the pitkane to be drier, wouldn't call that funny or naive, what was Max's excuses for crashing out in his rookie years, Jesus max crashed into the pit wall on new tyres last weekend
Lewis had a dream rookie season. As a rookie, he joined the best team, with a champion as a teammate. In the end, it wasn't perfect, because he blew it in a rather funny and naive way. He became champion in the second season, but with an extremely bad drive in the last decisive race, and that was more luck than skill. He lost against Rosberg, which in my opinion is his biggest complaint.
This is just a miserable sob ? who wishes he can take away Lewis' 7 titles and give them to Verstappen ?. Even with your corruption, you'll never catch Lewis ? I can feel your pain
Tbf max tried but couldnt! Masi uncle did the job for him and rb and wheatley crying to masi that we need just one lap
You are conveniently ignoring the corruption by FIA and Masi in making sure that Lewis loses. That's why the 2021 championship will be forever tainted
The logic you just used has more holes than swiss cheese. Jacques Villeneuve beat Schumacher who beat Senna so by your logic, Villeneuve is better than Senna. We could really have fun playing this game.
As a Swiss, I can tell you that most swiss cheese don't have holes. At least not more than cheeses from other countries.
Everything is tasty when deep fried and dipped in garlic sauce. Not very culinary though.
Well, if you every tried the Dutch or German cuisine, you would no that isn't true for the Dutch. And being from the Netherlands, living 10km from the German border, I know what I am talking about ?
In Italy, Belgium, Austria as well. Most western European countries take their food very seriously :)
@Damage, if you're referring to the controversial 2021 season, Masi with his change in how the SC unlapping procedure ,directly resulted in the Championship result. I would disagree with your example. To be fair the performance levels with both cars mid 2021 season was pretty even and Lewis was then winning consecutive races until the AD fiasco. No worries about arguments,I appreciate you sharing your opinion. Thanks for the response.
He was also beaten by a competitive driver in the same car...just saying.
And by Max and Kimi in inferior equipment. These are just facts mate.
You forgot he beat the same driver 4-1 in the time they were teammates and bowed out because he couldn't face the same beast again
I like that you are having chest pains about it, continue doing so
@MacMillan That will be a statistic you will have to live with. Eternally downplaying it from you and your ilk with mentions of FIA corruption will just be an added bonus. As it comes, so it goes, It's simple as that.
Max will need more help from FIA corruption to have any stats that will rival those of Lewis. It's simple as that
@MacMillan I'm just curious what you will say about Max's statistics, when he finishes his career?
Very similar to Vettel’s stats but will never be remembered as one of the greatest. Stats are just that, stats. Those stats are really watered down when you consider that for all those WDC’s he did not beat one all time great. Massa, Rosberg (x2), Vettel (x2) and Bottas (x2). Senna won 3WDC’s agajj in at Prost (x2) and Mansell. Alonso won 2WDC’s against Schumi. Max won 2WDC against Lewis and Leclerc, who along with Alonso are the 3 best drivers I. The world.
The stats are Lewis has 7 championships and 103 wins. Those are stats you can't manipulate and you have to live with
@MM, he was and thats the point, about have a competitive teamate, especially when you are driving a dominant car . We get to see the measure of the drivers. I am just pointing out I haven't seen that with Max .
Vegan,we have disagreed a few times,but on having a competitive team mate,I completely agree with you. If we are gonna be starved from seeing more than one team fighting for wins,the least they can do is pair drivers of similar capabilities that we can have seasons like Ham vs Rosberg. I think all of us enjoy good racing and tension between team mates. Alonso vs Ham was also very exciting and yes,it cost McLaren the championship,but it was one hell of a exciting season. It may turn into Prost vs Senna type warefare..but I am all for it.
@Ludizapoli, thank you for the responce, hopefully in 2024 we see a move into that seat next to Max by one of the drivers Marko has had talks with, Norris & Lec was the rumour . But what a spectacular season that would be for us fans .
Then you must have been hiding under a rock throughout 2021 because Max beat Lewis in the most dominant car in F1 history for the WDC.
@Vegan Again you write facts that are completely irrelevant and untrue. 1. Lewis raced in two teams, in which he did nothing on develop and came when is everything finished. No value, just the opposite. 2. Lewis did not win three champions, but one to be exact, but what does that mean and what is the value of that. He had an outstanding season as a rookie, but lost it in rookie style. We can say that it was a success for the rookie, and that it left a great impression, even if Alonso didn't win on points, because they were tied. He won against Button in the first season, but lost in the second. What makes it a success? In my opinion, it's just the opposite, and that's not something to praise, even if he won the next one again. He won against Rosberg in two seasons, when he was not yet champion. But he lost his third season, which for me is his biggest blemish. Failure indeed. In my opinion, only the seasons in which the driver has a dominant car are measurable, and only those should be relevant. This is where qualities are seen for right.
@L, I am simply making the point we can measure the talent of a driver in a dominant car ,not by the other teams on the grid, but by the competive team-mate alongside him. You and I agree that we have seen that with Lewis and he has had competive team-mates, Alonso,Button,Rosberg. With Max we don't have that, we have the dominant car and with him not have a competive team-mate, well I personally can't make that comparison of how good arrived he is until he has that challenge. Thanks for taking the time to respond ?.
@Vegas How can we not compare? Lewis can see seasons with a worse driver, Bottas. They have the same conditions: a dominant car and a worse teammate. Which of them makes less mistakes?
@Ludizapoli, for Max right know, without that competive team-mate, unlike Lewis, we can conclude that's its just the the dominant car with Max. Like you said up until, :We are waiting competitive teammate for Max to measure him. Thanks for the discussion @Ludizapoli
@Vegan Now I understand. By this we see the measure of the driver. In these conditions, Lewis won twice and lost once while in MB. That's his measure, ok. We are waiting competitive teammate for Max to measure him.
@Ludizapoli, my posts have been clear . "VeganWarrior +5168513-07-2023 19:59 @MM, he was and thats the point, about have a competitive teamate, especially when you are driving a dominant car . We get to see the measure of the drivers. I am just pointing out I haven't seen that with Max ." For me thats how we could measure drivers on the grid when they have a dominant car. You are welcome to hold an alternative view.
@Vegan I don't compare teammates, that's what you do. I just extracted the data, because I don't consider it worthy of benchmarking. You stand firm on this: Rosberg is a much better driver than Checo, and that is why Lewis's success is much greater, because he won twice in a dominant car and lost once to Rosberg, than Max beat Checo three times in a dominant car Did I get it right? We are talking about seasons when they both had dominant cars, so I don't know why you mention Sanz, Ricci and Alex?
@Ludizapoli, Schumacher did have competitive teamates, Eddie Ervine Rubens Massa Off course, I digress my point of discussion is in the event when you have a dominant car your teamate is your measure. Your disagreement of Lewis having competitive teamates is based on what ? Are you comparing Rosberg, Button, Alonso to Max's teamates, Sianz, DR and Alex, Pérez. Well I guess if that your opinion that Albon is more competive than a 2x WC then that's your opinion. I stand firm in saying , when you have dominant car, and the absence of any team challenging in the grid, the competive team-mates become the measure . Right now we have seen that, so I can't say its not just the dominant car thats to be credited for Redbulls success.
@Vegan Again you twist the truth to yourself, as it suits you. Of course it's not like that. As you say, the talent of Shumy cannot be measured, because he did not have competitive teammates. Is that so? Or maybe you think that's why he wasn't talented. I don't agree that Lewis had competive team-mates. In his first year, he was with Alonso, where he was an up-and-coming rookie, he drove without pressure and he had good races, but at the end when he was supposed to finish, he took a s***. Not to be praised. What size are Button and Rosberg: Button: 18 seasons, 15 wins, 8 poles, 8 fastest laps 1 place 1x ( 6 win, wrapped happily with double diffuser) 2 place 1x 3rd place 1x 5th place 2x 6 place 1x Rosberg: 11 seasons, 23 wins, 30 poles, 20 fast laps 1st place 1x (beat the current three-time champion in the same car) 2nd place 2x ( in the same dominant car) 6 place 1x 7th place 3x 9th place 2x What does it mean that he won them, but also lost from both of them?
@Ludizapoli. "VeganWarrior +5165913-07-2023 19:51 @L, I am simply making the point we can measure the talent of a driver in a dominant car ,not by the other teams on the grid, but by the competive team-mate alongside him. You and I agree that we have seen that with Lewis and he has had competive team-mates, Alonso,Button,Rosberg." I did, in my post.
Hi, thanks for your reply, I belive that's my point. Rosberg and Hamilton battled for few seaons in a competive car, pushing each other to the limit and yes ,Rosberg did win a championship by a narrow well deserved margin. My point is I would hope to see Max battling a teammate like that, like a Lec or Norris, or Lewis in the same car , currently its difficult to get the measure of him as driver. Is it 85% car or 90% or less , I have that question hopefully when he does have a competive team-mate what transpires will change my mind .
@Vegan 85/90%? It's your right to write what you want, and ours to think about it. One can compare their skills very easily. Both of them drove dominant cars, with which if they drive as they should, they will win. Compare race by race, who made less mistakes?
@Vegan I am not. A GPblog could do, that article would be interesting. @Matt?
@L, I haven't attempted that comparison, what is the results of your comparison.
Maybe Norris, but LeClerc or Hamilton I can not see beating Max.
Vegan, there is no way you can say Lewis' single championship with McLaren was legitimate. Not only were there skewed results from the "crashgate" debacle, it was clear Timo Glock, the best friend of Lewis at the time, slowed intentionally to give Lewis the championship over Massa in Brazil. Lewis only won legitimate championships with Mercedes where a 50 h.p advantage was available on demand. If Lewis was so great, how come he could not beat Alonso in 2007? Both were tied for points and wins that year. Lewis was never that great.
@rport, thats an intresting take on that championship. All disproved off course. Lewis did beat Alonso out qualifying and although ending on the same amount off points beating Alonso the 2xWC on count back. The point I have made in my post, is with a driver in a dominant car, the only way to get the measure of that driver is when he has a competitive teammate. Thanks for you reply
Get you facts straight, Rosberg was NOT a champion when he lost to Lewis in 2014 & 2015. Lewis just lost to his teammate in 2016 who became WDC end of that year, They are competitive against Lewis yes but both Button and Rosberg beat him once each year. Both Button and Rosberg might be WDC’s but both of them along with Hill and Villeneuve are the weakest WDC’s produced over the last 40yrs.
The weakest WC is the one with a dominant car and no competitive teamates ,not so.
It is the better driver in the best car, or the best driver in the field in a very good car that wins the championships. If there is a super dominant car, that no other teams can get close to, (eg. Mercedes between 2014 and 2020) then the better driver in the team will win the championship. On the other hand, if there is another team whose car is pretty close, then the better driver will be able to make the difference to beat the best car. (eg. Max in 2021)
Don't give example of 2021 because that was Masi and FIA deciding the championship
A world championship is not won over 1 lap but over a season. Anyway, Mercedes had 2 clear chances to pit and change tyres that race but didn't, likely because they were scared of giving up track position to Max and that may mean Lewis wouldn't be able to overtake him. The right man won the championship. Max made the difference in the slower car.
You are writing nothing if you are not referring to rules being broken resulting in FIA firing their own race director something that has not happened during the history of F1
As I said ..would pay a tidy sum to hear masi answer some questions......like....what was he thinking ??? Alas....airtight NDA....To follow your line of thought...Rosberg is not a world champ since he had less dnfs....which universe is that ? F1 is a team sport...thats why the team and car development is arguably more influential than the driver on performance....masi role is designed to have zero undue influence on race outcomes.. ....
@Dang +250715-07-2023 13:27 That is speculation, one of the reasons why NDA's shouldn't be used by the FIA but you can't claim it's fired in other terms because fired mean the employment is terminated, which clearly wasn't the case.
Max had 4DNF’s to Lewis solitary 1 and Lewis still came up short against Max for the WDC in 2021. It is as clear as day now that Lewis level is inferior to that of Max. Even Alonso realizes that Max is different gravy. Max is inevitable and everyone in the F1 paddock new he was special before he entered F1 in 2015. Lewis only concern is winning his 8th WDC but what should be of real concern to Lewis now is the massive gap in natural ability and talent between him and Max. And I’m afraid to say that the gap is just getting bigger with every race we have.
Masi was sent away .he didnt resign....fired in other terms.. paid to keep his mouth shut via an NDA.....
I would part with tidy sum just to hear masi answer some no holds barred questions
@Dang +250614-07-2023 19:48 For an rule to be broken it actually has to be broken, the f1 rules in 2021 stated ''any car lap the saferty car''(which is now changed to all), along with a clausule in the rules futheron that gives the RD the possibility to ''override'' so that is exactly what happened. That why the language of Human error and ''spirit of rules'' is used, otherwise they could have fired him, declare the abu dabi GP invalid etc. but they can't because the rules weren't broken. So Masi wasn't fired but given an other job and the results weren't declared invalid. And yes offcourse they new this on the night itself the March report was just useless stalling. Mercedes had is lawyers present surely they would have pushed for the race to be cancelled/declared if there where grounds for it but there weren't because they rules where followed. Apart from that if the race would have been cancelled Verstappen would have won too, they where equal in point but Verstappen had more wins.
So if you accidentally run a stop sign...a rule hasnt been broken because it was your human error ?
@Dang +250514-07-2023 05:09 And that does not say a rule has been broken at all, it claims ''human error'' ''spirit of the rules'' but that does not say anything at all. The rule that is claimed to be broken however has been changed after this report, they changed ''any'' to ''all'' and than there are also large parts of that report that are no public, there are sealed under an NDA.
That's a very good question. There's is something the FIA doesn't wanna everybody to know. It must be. That's the only reason I can think of.
@Dang +250313-07-2023 21:01 Because the Fia despite being an regulation body, does not like transparency. It a real shame they get away with putting everything behind NDA's
I Know what the facts are. Even though I gave you some, you refuse to accept the truth by calling it "twisted version"... And no, I'm not a fan of any particular driver... Just saying. The fact that you don't even react with facts to my comment, and instead you try to attack my person, shows your lack of arguments. That's usually what biased people do when they know they are wrong but won't admit it. Thanks for that ?
Then that shows you don't know what constructive dismissals means. Masi was fired, but to placate poisonous fans like you, a backhand story like you rehashed had to be created. But anyway continue with the twisted version of events if you want to keep your health intact.
Masi was removed as RD for political reasons, but didn't get fired from the FIA. Sulayem even gave him a new role within the FIA. He decided to leave the FIA by himself about 7 months later. Official statement from the FIA: "The FIA confirms that Michael Masi has decided to leave the FIA and relocate to Australia to be closer to his family and take on new challenges," And: " [Michael] oversaw a three-year period as FIA Formula One race director and safety delegate following the sudden passing of Charlie Whiting in 2019, carrying out the numerous functions he was tasked with in a professional and dedicated manner. The FIA thanks him for his commitment and wishes him the best for the future" You don't make such a statement about someone who did something very bad. And again, FIA didn't fire him. One more: "Masi received the backing of a number of drivers – including the four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel and the British McLaren driver Lando Norris" Not even to mention the death threat Masi received from Team LH. And last but not least: Ask yourself why Masi had to sign an nondisclosure agreement? What does Masi know about AD21 that the FIA doesn't want you (and everyone else) to know?
Where is Masi then, why did FIA replace him ? you want to rewrite history, Masi was fired for breaking rules otherwise he'd still be there
No rules have been broken. The RD had the right to adapt the rules, especially after SPA 2021, were TP's, mainly pushed by Wolff himself, agreed along with Massi, to never ever end a race behind the SC again. And that's exactly what Massi did in AD. Btw, Massi in first place didn't even get fired from the FIA.
Bro, that last lap was also part of the season. There was no reason to pit when from all previous occasions the race would have ended under safety car. Just stop with the copium.
It has been agreed after SPA 2021 to not end a race behind the SC again. Wolff was even the one who requested it, so yeah..
MacMillan, that is super weak! You need to stop making excuses for Lewis Lewis only had to hold off Max for 1 lap to win the championship regardless of Masi or anything else. Lewis made a huge error in turn #5 by not covering the inside. With his "spicy" engine on a power track, Lewis should have been able to hold the lead for 1 lap. Lewis made an error and paid the price. Conclusion: Max won the championship fair and square as the FIA upheld all results.
You are running out of excuses, infact every risible attempt you make of trying to defend that robbery make Verstappen more and more of a caricature champion
2021 RB was not slower. That’s pure fantasy and there’s no way that can be proven.
All the championships won by the drivers in the past have been won by drivers with the fastest cars. The exceptions are - By reverse order: - 1) Max - 2021 (Mercedes was the fastest car) 2) Schumacher 1994 and 1995 (Williams was the fastest car) 3) James Hunt 1976 (Ferrari was the fastest car) Beyond that it was hard to evaluate the machine over the driver. Data was absent as well.
Agree for the most part, but the Red Bull was the dominant car for the first half of the season. Mercedes only started to have an edge in the second half. As we all know the only reason why Max won the last race is due to Masi crumbling under pressure.
