Hamilton v Verstappen

[David Barnett]

I'm still pulling for Kimi.

Verstappen impressed me years ago when he pulled off a pass at the Grand Hotel Hairpin at Monaco in a Toro Rosso.

I enjoyed the film on the life of Niki Lauda...Netflix, I believe.

Or maybe Amazon Prime? I watched it, but I don't remember where.

There's one on Netflix about Niki Lauda and James Hunts rivalry

Rush

It has Thor playing James Hunt and Zemo playing Lauda. Cross over episode!

C'mon Lewis......

I like the guy for many reasons, probably the same ones that make some people hate him......

Not a Verstappen fan, man has completely lost my respect, much like Schumacher a generation ago.

I'm not really a Hamilton fan, but I do agree with your comparison of Verstappen to Shumacher.

"Lauda: The Untold Story" is on Amazon Prime. I think that is where I got Amazon from. "Rush" is on Netflix.

Well that is something for me to add to the watch list

I was also never a fan of Schumacher , both had a habit of taking people out or have team mates do it for them.
MSC winning his first WC by running Damon Hill off the track, etc-etc. And then when he returned to the sport and couldnt keep up with Rosberg......Anyone hear about how he terrorised his younger temmate ?

 

[7171551]

He everyone!

Won't be long now until we find out what happens. Let's hope it's a good one!

I have no doubt Hamilton will try to knock him out of the race then blame someone/something else as he does.

 

[tattypicker]

Having a hard time seeing Hamilton as the more aggressive or reckless of the 2. And, as they stand on points, it’s hard to see the incentive for Hamilton to gamble on any sort of contact.

Verstappen has clinched pole position in this morning's qualifying.

Lessens the chance of a first corner wipe out then?

Lessens the chance of a first corner wipe out then?

Especially since Verstappen is on the soft tires and Hamilton on the mediums.

I'm still pulling for Kimi.

He should be DotD tomorrow.

Merc will prevail, provided there are no catastrophes.

Their team is superior.

It's just the way it is at the moment.

F1 is boring and predictable.

 

[koen]

Uhm, this season has been anything but boring.

 

[Ronzo]

... He's at that age where some young men think they are invincible.

And, unfortunately, where some of those young men are permanently shown that they are not.

 

[clingin_on]

Uhm, this season has been anything but boring.

I understand that it's had its moments, like the condo car stacker, turn two at Monza.

What I mean is, it wouldn't even be close if they hadn't changed the rules. Which is what they feel they need to do in order to 'manufacture' excitement.

Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed it. But it's just more like a reality show to me now, as opposed to pure racing.
