It's at the point, right now, that if Max makes the move to another team at some point and he's still dominating the way he has at that time, the Ross Brawn type person will want to go there - it won't be a case of making the move and hoping that person comes along

- FIA launches investigation into Susie Wolff feeding info to Toto that he isn't supposed to know after multiple team principals allegedly brought it up as a concern
- All teams get together behind closed doors and all issue the exact same blanket statement at the exact same time of the day saying no, they didn't in fact mention any such thing
- FIA decides after a couple days "eh, maybe this investigation is a bad idea" and drop the whole thing
- Mercedes sues FIA for what I'm assuming to be something along the lines of slander or defamation of character
Rumor mill is saying this was all schemed up by Ben Sulayem since he apparently doesn't like Toto and he tried to make it seem like this was a concern that multiple team principals had, when apparently it really wasn't.

Let's not forget that before the teams said anything, Susie came out and said the whole thing was misogynist and immediately the woke mob started invading.
Pretty sure NONE of the teams want that kind of bad PR, hence the coordinated statements a day or 2 later.
I mean you'd have to be a complete idiot to think there isn't a conflict of interest between the Wolff's positions....like ofc, she never tells him anythingThere is but one path....we kill them all.

Of course she's telling him things he's not supposed to know.
The problem is this sort of thing is near impossible to definitively prove, and without the backing of the teams supporting their investigation, they don't have much choice but to back off.
Now of course Mercedes will not be happy until they know where the real source of all this actually came from, which is likely Ben Sulayem IF a team(s) really weren't who started it.

Ben says team principals claimed Susie was corrupted and feeding Toto info, so all team principals got together and released a statement after calling BS?
Fuk man, imagine getting cucked that hard. Liberty probably put him up to it to create drama and interest for DTS next year lulz
I know Horner had no issues. His response to Totos whining a while back was fix your fucking carRAW DOG CREW LIEUTENANT

Doubt it. Ben Sulayem has connections and money.
Seems more like Mercedes don't have the same power they once had (do whatever they want like those secret Pirelli testing and get away with it) and it is getting more obvious with their constant desperate fuming about any inconvenience they get.
SRS though I wish this team gets worse over time - Toto is annoying af and Hamilton isn't any different
FIA is shyt but with the Mercs amount of moaning and gaslighting drama they spread when it doesn't go their way is annoying.Last edited by ProSaibot; 12-10-2023 at 04:41 AM.

It really is mind boggling considering the performance of Ferrari lately. Maybe if they invested a 1/4 off that salary bump into team infrastructure, they’d be able to convert some of this investment into points.
Also, what a boss move of Lewis to leave his P3 trophy behind after the Prize shoving Ceremony. F1 is becoming a clown show no longer focused on sport and only on greed, and he’s calling them out.Last edited by Kylehero; 12-10-2023 at 06:38 AM.

Average gap to team-mate from the champion, by year. This doesn't include races of DNF's, or significant gaps like a full lap down. Just races where both drivers were both finishing well.
Champion----Gap------Teammate---Years
Verstappen--19.931s---Perez-------2021-23
Hamilton-----11.025s--Bottas-------2017-20
Rosberg------2.811s----Hamilton---2016
Hamilton-----1.585s----Rosberg----2014-15
Vettel---------11.969s--Webber-----2010-13
Button--------5.136s---Barrichello--2009
Hamilton-----10.063s---Kovalainen-2008
Raikkonen----7.587s---Massa-------2007
Alonso--------19.326s--Fisichella----2005-06
Schumacher-10.754s---Barrichello--2000-04
Hakkinen-----4.478s----Coulthard---1998-99
Villeneuve----11.783s--Frentzen----1997
Hill------------9.513s----Villeneuve--1996

This isn't Kobe refusing to shoot in the second half vs the Suns in Game 7 back in 2005 or whenever that was
Lewis is being a jerk off for the sake of being a jerkoff. The only boss thing about him may be some Hugo Boss clothing.

"If you had a free day to yourself, what would you do?"
Max: "I think I'd go to the go-kart track and have some fun there."
Fking dude just loves to race. Period. I personally don't need to see another Championship from him in F1 to know that by the time his career is over, he will without a doubt go down as one of, if not THE SINGLE best driver Formula 1 has ever seen. One only needs to look at his racing career start to finish to see that he's something incredibly special that just doesn't come along often.

It's impossible to know how good Senna would have been in this day and age but he was a once in a lifetime racing talent that was putting sub par cars in to positions they had no business being in early in his career before McLaren dominated for half a decade.
Max, I would argue, has much of the same talent but as well as being a 3x F1 WDC he's also like a top 5 in the world sim racer who lives and breathes motor racing. Senna didn't have any of that to hone his skills when not in the car.
He's also the "Racing is in my blood" guy - I have no doubt that, if Patrick Head didn't fuk with his car and wind up killing him, he would have taken at least two more titles - I also have no doubt that in the days of factory simulators and sim racing - if he chose to participate - he would be more dominant than Verstappen.
Senna will always be the GOAT as far as I'm concerned if you take into account the opportunities he wasn't afforded that exist for racing drivers now - but based on all things considered in this day and age, Max is the GOAT and I can't argue that.
That said, imagine Schumacher with his ruthlessness, his ability to just knuckle down and execute a plan (19 qualifying laps to build up a 21 second lead after a mid race strategy change in an inferior car vs Hakkinen and Coulthard in McLarens?), and his raw speed and talent with access to everything the drivers of today have.

You should all be following the DAKAR rally.
Sainz's papa is in 2nd place after the first stage, but this won't last very long LOL. He did have an incredible stage tho.
I'm thinking Sebastian Loeb will take it down this year, but the TOYOTA teams all look STRONG AF, so there might be an upset.
It's funny because endurance rally is TRUE driver ability. Sure, there's the durability aspect of the cars, but honestly the driving in these conditions is hell, and you have to do it for 2 weeks straight.Spoiler alert; you die at the end.

He was an attention seeker from the start but went being a full-time cloth chaser around 2016-17 when he fully started playing the liberal media game.
I blame his influence for making the sport so phuckin ghey
He was always annoying but at least he was himself back in the day. This is why dudes like Kimi are liked—he is a bit of an a-hole, but he stays true to himself.
