Max has the talent, and more importantly a head start compared to his peers since he's been in F1 since age 17.

You can't pair him up with older drivers since sim racing's likely not part of their routine. That's likely why RB's been trying to recruit Lando for the longest time. If that McLaren ever catches up, it'd be great for F1.

Overtake! Episode 1 is finally released today, a quick Google search will lead you to a subbed episode on daily motion

It's a Japanese anime based on Formula 4.

EDIT: So far one of the characters labelled their drivers as number one and number two :lawl:

Awesome sprint race, way to go Oscar, great drive

Fun sprint but shootout was annoying as they narrowed a corner by 80cm and everyone kept losing laps - even Max!

Boring race on a garbage track.

Might have been the worst race of the season really

Another snoozer race but Piastri is the real deal.

I am getting sick and tired of hearing about Felipe Massa and his lawsuit to overturn the 2008 championship results. Does he really think that he has a chance to win this? Yes, Renault purposely crashed their second car to get a safety car but that didn't cause Felipe to lose that race, Ferrari was at fault for Felipe losing that race. Ferrari released him with the fuel hose still attached to the car, this is what took him out of the running to win that race. Lots of other teams had to stop for fuel, including Mclaren, and they were able to complete their stop without issue.

Stop blaming Renault when it was Ferrari's fault for Massa losing the championship.

Red bull starts p6 and p9 on Sunday wowww

COTA so good. not 100% sure i love sprint weekends, but I'm not complaining.

friends are in the turn 14 GS - wish i was there too.

Jesus nearly 10 second gap on a 19 lap race for Max, half a second per lap gain insane.

it only looked close for a couple of laps because they were fkn around.

Once Lewis realized he couldn't pass Max, it was all about keeping second place. Manage the tires and keep a healthy gap to 3rd place.

Man the last few laps Lewis was gaining ground on Max at each turn. If. Only there were 3 or 5 more laps.

So many what ifs with pit strategy, if Hamilton pitted a few laps earlier or if they nailed the pit stop.

Hamilton 12 pts behind Checo, imagine if Checo loses P2 in Mexico next week.

cant wait to hear about the brake issues, max was losing so much time the last 5 laps

Breaking news, Lewis and Charles are disqualified due to the skid pads on the plank

gonna be some spicy protests

Good that Lewis didn't have enough laps to get the win or else it would've been devastating getting DSQ'd and the win taken from you.

Danny Ric 2nd rowwww!

Third wheel between max and checo lol

Checo had quite the oof on lap 1.

as far as 2023 races go, this one was entertaining. quite a few passes, mishaps, shenanigans.

I thought there would be more tire drama at the end. Lewis pulling fastest lap on spent mediums at the end :drunk:

I was so pissed about Yuki trying to make an optimistic pass on Oscar on the outside

Would have been double points finish for Alpha Tauri

There's no way Perez gets to keep his seat for '24, right?!

I was pissed off last week when Hamilton was DQed, but accepted that they fucked up. I was just mad that chasing 10 points every race was close to impossible with 4 races to go.

Then what do we see? Checo crashes out on his home race and it's now 20 points and 3 races to go. The chase is on!

Hot goss from will Buxton currently




Seems like Checo might be out

Let's not forget Lando had a monster race, absolutely went beast mode starting from the bottom, and having a bad start after the red flag.
