Ah fair. I‘d still say he was settled in 2016 (by comparison to the Rest of the Grid) but I seem to have missed the Point with him being a Generational Talent. Completely agree that he was an even better Driver by the end of 2018

For example, the only completely Self inflicted crashes with consequences were in 2015 & 2016 Monaco. And unlike Antonelli, he made up for it with great perfomances everywhere else

Yeah, i‘m sure he earned it in the first couple of races in 2018. But it was used again in 2021 because of his agressive moves, not his unforced errors turned crashes iirc.

That‘s where I have to disagree. He was overly agressive in 16/17, but made few unforced errors. Pace and execution wise, he was brilliant from the start I think.

And the nickname thing has probably more to do with his agressive moves in 2021, and has nothing to say about his quality.

Or make the Turn in earlier and skip the chicane before the First Lesmo

An underrated moment (not spoken of enough) in an underrated race (sadly overshadowed) in an underrated Season. Story of Leclerc‘s career

If this works out for Palou I‘m absolutely losing it

Newgarden Save us please

Fuck off.

Palou lucky enough to be in the pits, and Malukas royally screwed over.

I used to agree with quite a lot of these Rankings, but Piastri surely can‘t be 1st. Especially with Norris 9th, who has performed on pretty much the same level

It’s a bit disappointing with F1 „journalism“ in General. As soon as a Storyline presents itself, it’s parroted all the time, without anyone bothering to Check if it’s even true. Case in Point the Leclerc/Piastri remarks you mentioned.

Ah, didn‘t know it was on a podcast. I personally can‘t watch a race just with the Engine sounds, so I Need the commentary whenever I‘m not focusing on the Ocon onboard

Part of the reason I listen to Sky commentary. They Talk shit too, but it‘s more charming from Crofty and Brundle imo. Also, sometimes Button and Rosberg are there

It‘s more a case of Piastri being overrated imo

Not even much of a Newgarden fan but if this amount of bad luck happened to Ocon in half a season you'd find me like this

If I were Josef Newgarden I'd need a 30 hour drive to clear my head.
And then a week full of booze to drown the sorrows.

Anyways, Ocon to P9 with fresh tires!

Australia maybe? Weird to say with a Grand Chelem, but I‘d say he struggled every other time (even with his two debuts pre 2022 ignored). Otherwise, there are probably more tracks he‘s great and not just good at

When I heard people say that, I couldn‘t remember any weak performances, but it‘s true he did not often have the possibility to shine. It’s probably more eye catching, because he has set sky high expectations with his performances at most other venues.

@acasatua.bsky.social Is it true that Canada is one if Leclercs weaker tracks?

It pains me to say, but it will not get better at Ferrari for Hamilton. Beaten by Leclerc at Canada with a margin bigger than any Hamilton ever experienced

The Red Bull pit Wall may have saved Verstappen‘s race. 6 seconds in Front of Antonelli instead of behind him

I Like McLaughlin (Lap of Gods is reason enough, and Newgarden gets the Extension through Bus Bros (against better reasoning. Massive dislike against Penske in general though.

I love Monaco but today Must have been the stupidest day in its existence

How much entlief do you have to brake in F2? If Dunne was just launching it in the braking zone, it‘s on him. Otherwise, even as a Martins fan I think it would be on him.

Probably the case with the other cars as well. Can‘t explain Montoya‘s and Crawford‘s gap otherwise

I Imagine recreating that gap won‘t be very diffficult. But the cars spreading out behind him have now closed up

Albon, there‘s always rallying for you if you dislike keeping it on the track
