Yeah, it's pretty boring stuff between Oscar and Lando. I don't consider either to be an elite tier driver (Max, Charles, George) so there's not going to be crazy feats of excellence that happen (say Lewis' Singapore qualifying lap) and both seem to get along with the other.

I liked the 2021 war between Max and Lewis a lot better (except for the bullshit ending).
Imo Max and George are really elite, George has really impressed me over the last 2 seasons

However, imo I think Piastri is pretty quickly becoming an equal to the likes of Charles. Even with the incompetence that is Ferrari I’ve never really felt Charles is truly elite

I have noted Leclerc growing in the last few years, less mistakes, performing better under pressure, better racecraft, similar level of extreme one lap pace.

Piastri I think is the real deal. Keep in mind this is only his third year. His outright pace is not top, but he is calculating and has the killer instinct to go with it, which I think in a more equal setting would win you more points.

Russell choked a lot in his first years. He's been much more consistent this year and is showing well that he can mind his own business and not be distracted. I'm curious if there's more speed to be had with him or if this is it. He doesn't excel in any particular area imo.

I'm really curious if Max really makes good on his word before where if he stops winning he's just gonna call it quits.

Bottas and Perez official..... what about my.home.boy Guan Yu arrrggghhhh, worst part is I cant even blame Caddy for going Bottas and Perez...

Bottas basically grew up in Merc... and Perez at Red Bull, both drivers should have "good vibes/ideas" how a champion team works... and also sponsorship $$$$ from Perez ia no joke

We knew they were going for experience. The question ultimately was whether if Danny Ric was in the mix, but something about him being in a motorcycle crash recently and isn't in shape to compete next year which ruled him out completely

ZANDVOORT, Netherlands — Max Verstappen says he's happy to see his old teammate Sergio Pérez back for a “fresh start” in Formula 1 and that his experience will be a major asset to the new Cadillac team in 2026.

Cadillac picked the experienced duo of Pérez and former Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas to join the grid as the 11th team next year, even though neither has a race seat in 2025.

DU DU DU DU MAX VERSTAPPEN

Max's debut for GT3 Nurburgring 4 hours enduro ....

After winning Baku in F1 last week

With his brand new GT3 license...

- qualified 3rd
- got to P1 by turn 1 in the 1st lap
- drove for 2 hours, built 55 sec lead
- team mate finishes race with a 22.7 sec lead
- fastest lap of the race of course

Max wins for Ferrari on his debut GT3 race .... what a fucking beast....

at one point he was building a 3 to 4 second lead per lap on the number 2 and number 3 drivers

like I said... I am becoming a fan

At this point I wanna see max at least get 2nd just to laugh at the clown shoes decisions they've been making all season with their team papaya bullshit.

All these cryptic "repercussions" for Lando after the last race.

What the hell. Of all the stuff that happened in the first few laps, onky Hamilton gets dinged. Then Max gets cock blocked at the end.

Way to go Ollie.
