hamilton played it good against perez today, was very fascinating duel. But i get what you mean Alonso is also saying that his back is hurting since long time now, could be a age thing...

Today you could see the difference between Norris and Verstappen.

P17 to P1, in the wet, without DRS. Dropped a 19 sec. lead on the rest of the grid in just 27 laps. A statement win and a masterclass in wet weather driving.

Meanwhile his teammate is P11 with 5 cars retired.

I think I'd rather Verstappen wins than Norris. Norris is kind of childish in a way. His comments post race were ridiculous. I feel like Charles in that McLaren would have won more races easily and might have pushed for the championship a lot sooner.

Yes I fully agree with this.

And did you hear Max's comments post-race? Verstappen said: “I have a quick question. I mean, I appreciate all of you being here, but I don’t see any British press. Do they have to run to the airport, or they don’t know where the press conference is?”

Max is the modern day Raikkonen in my opinion. But really F1 became obviously biased towards the Brits - besides Lewis, I don't rate the other British racers. On a side note, I will admit that Max is not my favorite driver, but he's clearly above everybody else on the track and no one is even close to him at the moment.

The F1 2025 season starts in Melbourne this weekend.

I think it's going to be a great F1 season. This is the final year under the current regulations before a major overhaul.

Hamilton must be hungry for a record 8th world title and has confidence that Ferrari will have what it takes to win a championship in the next 2 years. He has a point to prove after a disappointing final year with Mercedes, where he was outpaced by teammate George Russell, and now has to contend with Leclerc, a championship-calibre driver himself, across the garage.

Either McLaren driver could make a title run. Verstappen is definitely in the hunt even if Red Bull are slightly off in performance.

If Verstappen wins again this year under these circumstances, he cements his legacy as one of the best drivers in history. If he stumbles in the same season his car becomes more vulnerable, then maybe not.

It really can't get much worse than being a Juventus, Ferrari, and Azzuri fan, can it?

And to think this trio used to dominate each of their own respective realms.
