We need to talk about Max Verstappen
- Thread starter Tal
- Start date
F1 is a team sport, end of. You can't win the driver's championship without a good car for the same reason you can't win the constructor's without 2 decent drivers. It may be the old 80-20, but it's absolutely a team sport.
He is going on till the other quits, which means the other guy loses.Yep
And yes Daniel is at the moment the better, or to be more precise, more complete driver. Max knows he has to step up his game in qualification. And that is good, he knows that there is a huge terrain to be conquered.
It would be really horrible when Max would be faster than Daniel from day 1.
In F1 i think it would be more 40/60%. That is why many times you see at the starting grids this:
- Team A car 1
- Team A car 2
- Team B car 1
- Team B car 2
- Team C car 1
- Team C car 2
- Team D car 1
- Team E car 1
- Team D car 2
- Team E car 2..
He is going on till the other quits, which means the other guy loses.
Absolutely correct
You also can't win the drivers championship when your team screws up strategy
strong performance by NR today. On current form, probably is the favourite for the DC now this year.
Good lap by DR too, also well done to MV.

So... you changed your mind? You were saying it's a bit of an individual sport rather than a team sport. But of course as you say you cannot win without a good team, which is nice. If the FIA didn't think that was in the spirit of the rules, they would have noticed by now and introduced equal cars (which would be dumb).
I think the team play an important part, but at the end of the day, the drivers are out there racing for themselves
With the roll this car has, it probably suits Vettel more.
If the Red Bull would have the variomatic gearbox, the car could close the gap to Mercedes. It has power at all ranges. Sadly they are outlawed.
Yes, lets hear how people think about him....
I'm still not fine with how he sometimes behaves in wheel to wheel duels (not referring to this GP), but damn that was some top class wet weather driving skill he displayed today.

Wah wah.
I have to admit, I see a knack of Senna in him on the wets.

Max put in a world class performance today, and good on him!
Still hate the guy, but I can't deny that was bloody excellent driving.
