I will NEVER forget this image. It is etched into my mind. The disregard and disrespect of proper conduct of that driver is appalling. He could have seriously injured and ended someone’s life here. And the cavalier and unapologetic attitude after the fact…
Shite human.
Mercedes insiders claim George Russell was “flabbergasted” with Kimi Antonelli’s Chinese GP win.
Russell believes he was the faster driver and once in second, team orders should have taken effect.
Russell has prepared a strongly worded PowerPoint presentation on the matter.
@GazzettaFerrari Compression ratio trick worth 8 tenths per lap, up to 45 km/h additional top speed. outlawed on ink but done by bypassing legality checks: OK ✅
Detachable winglet not outlawed in the regulations, size of a pinkie worth a thousandth of a second per lap.
FIA:
🚨 | Ferrari removed its halo winglets in China after FIA discussions about their “borderline” legality.
Despite passing scrutineering, the team chose to avoid the risk of a protest or post-race penalty, especially as the aerodynamic gain was only a few hundredths of a second.

@BoringWhip@stanreport@F1WDC2021 Pretty much, saying Max isn't a good driver because his car was the best is like saying Lewis isnt a good driver because all but his first world championship were in cars that were by far the fastest...
Verstappen straight-up FRAUDED his way into the GOAT conversation
His whole career cheat code:
- new regulations dropped a rocketship car straight into his lap
- every teammate was a handicapped speed bump
- Horner and Red Bull only listened to his feedback while ignoring everyone else
- Masi literally gift-wrapped the 2021 title for him
@F1WDC2008@stanreport@F1WDC2021 And Lewis is till performing at a high level. Even with the last few waves of cars that weren’t that great, Lewis was still competitive.
@originalwoowoo@SkySportsF1 Nah, having Hamilton follow George would've split the Mercedes boys, and kept the pressure on, while they gambled on an extra VSC with Charles.
If things has stayed the same, one of them had a shot at being in front of Kimi. 2&4 was on. But 3 & 4 and playing it safe was OK too.
