I gotta disagree with you Paul, saying two thirds of Max’s DNF’s are his own fault is just wrong. In Spain he was taken out by Bottas/Kimi and in Austria he had a clutch failure wich caused his slow gettaway. And made him arive at turn one just in time to be taken out by Kvyatt, but even without that he wouldn’t have finished the race. And no mention of his qualifying lap, which was easily as good as Hamilton’s. Beating ‘Qualifying Beast’ Ricciardo by half a second. If it weren’t for the french piece of cr@p in the back… Read more »

I’d like to throw a thought into the mix here – I can’t help but think that Verstappen gets a bit more credit than he deserves, whilst Ricciardo generally has his performances downplayed. If you look at the results last year, from the point at which Max got the red bull seat, he was still out finished by Daniel at the end of the season (I think, beaten 10-7 in positions, and 8-7 in terms of podiums) and this season, sitting at 4th in the championship, ahead of a Ferrari looks pretty strong, with that engine.

First of all, since Paul is now a California refugee now living in Texas, ditch the cheesy theme music from the Dallas television show. He deserves something better like Travis Walk by Stevie Ray Vaughan or Alone In The Desert by ZZ Top. With every passing race, Alonso just makes his situation worse by his actions. He should consider Force India. Yes, them. Take a pay cut, get the seat and put those very capable cars in the top 5 or possible podiums.

LOL…well, as a guitar player, I’m a huge SRV fan for sure but in keeping with cheesy 70’s and 80’s themes, it would not fit well with the style. :) I’ll give it a thought though.

LOL…that’s because you’re cool people and live close enough to us Yanks that occasionally you get us blundering into your McDonald’s and asking for it. :) You’re just trying to be appeasing and kind. ;)

I feel honoured to get a response from you Negative Camber. Been listening since 2011 and I gladly donate monthly to Patreon. Us Canadian’s are nice until you start insulting our hockey team, that’s where I pull a Perez and run you off the road.

LOL…no need to feel honored, mate. I am the one who is honored by your support on Patreon. I’m just a dude talking about F1 my friend. As for Canada, my wife an I honeymooned there. Great people. As I say, Wayne Gretzky is proof God is Canadian. ;) Go BLUES! Actually I was a Nords fan first but they left. Now in St. Louis, have to be a Blues fan. ;)
