I reckon a RB win is very likely there. Merc will probably end up 2nd fastest with Ferrari 3rd.

Singapore is going to be terrible for Ferrari. I think McLaren will be good there too. As a Ferrari and a (hit rock bottom) Vettel fan I think I'm going to sit that one out and go out have breakfast with my wife.

i dont understand what makes this certain..
world ll keep spinning if he ll be sacked or not.. only thing im sure about Ferrari that human relations go up and down pretty fast.. if you dont agree.. no one is forcing you to think differently.. take it easy..

MAX in his latest interview and also in *La Gazzetta dello Sport*

In Dutch (sorry guys) please use Google-Translate => https://www.gptoday.net/nl/nieuws/f1...te-auto-hebben

According MAX (in short) :

*Ik zou zeggen dat ik in de snelste auto wil rijden. Als dat een rode auto is, dan zou ik daar graag in willen rijden*
"Ik wil alleen naar Ferrari als ze de beste auto hebben"

if the translation was right i started to feel like Max tends to leave Red Bull right on the moment he finds a better chance without hesitation.. Horner certainly d like to keep him in the team though there is not much options these days for Max for another seat.. a better seat..

You could be right,a Max win could be on the cards if he grabs pole.
2nd? A steely Charles can outfox Lewis again with Seb mixing it with Valeri and Albion.

Spot on.

Verstappen is only at RB at the moment, because there are no seats available at Merc or Ferrari. The moment his contract expire, you can bet your bottom dollar he will make the move to wherever he chooses. Every team boss would be after his signature, and somehow I think Ferarri would ultimately win.

All of these of course, depends on the competitiveness of RB at that stage.

I tell you, it's even more impressive to see what Lewis does on a race by race basis when you see the amount of money he's making. It takes a special kind of person to put in that type of dedication and commitment even when making that insane amount of money (that doesn't even include endorsements wow!). To see him still pushing and taking chances when he's set for multiple lifetimes financially is extremely impressive. The guy has done it all, has it all, and is still completely relentless and shooting for gaps that barely exist.

If only all of our spoiled rotten sports "stars" in America with their obscene guaranteed long term contracts were the same as Lewis.

Yep . I agree . Racing driver is a combination from man and machine in action . Both must be perfect, the whole season long to become a F1 World Champion .
Lewis has done this 5 times . Soon 6 times ...

Earlier today I was reading a new interview from MAX . He said the second place on a podium is for a loser ...

Money is not everything for these guys . But it's really nice to have it

I can't believe how much Vettel has dropped off, what a decline.
Many people would say no to this, for many reasons.....

Can't deny that LH is at the top of his game and something takes over when he pushes, not even Valtteri can match that and quite keep up with him.Certainly Seb is feeling the after effects of it!
Question now is can Lewis take on new guy on the block Charles with his solid demeanour and his seemingly perfect Ferrari package.

F1 posted an interesting video on Instagram showing that Leclerc's gain from the tow is 0.131 second on the back straight only. The difference between their lap times is 0.15 second. This should be enough to show that if Vettel got a tow he would've been on pole. The guy didn't lose it. He's under tremendous pressure. (As Matt Galagher said: I'm not a fanboy, just passionate).

Jenson Button, on Topgear, once said he would give all his possessions and money for one world championship title. That is when he was still driving for BAR.

Winning for them is first priority, but the money I think, is a close second.

It was only perfect at Spa and Monza.

Sadly it will battle to win any races for the remainder of the season, as all the remaining races are heavily down force dependent.

That's why I previously said, watch out for RB, and Max in particular.

This is what a lot of people on other F1 comment sites are not taking on board and saying VET is finished when understandably he was shortchanged from the tow fallout, hence the subsequent mistake and the unfortunate spin that led to penalty points.

There's also hot shot Charles that can make the difference with what the car may lack as you suggest at Marina Bay and it's well known that faster cars stuck behind one that is not quite on pace with them will have big problems getting through.

Yeah. In one word it's called *Passion*

But actually they deserve the money . As we could see in Franchorchamps it is extremely dangerous and sometimes even a death trap .
