Ham started in what, 17th? Just man up and admit that despite the fastest car, he couldn't win

Been fun participating in the banter round here - 25 should be a great season.
I'm sure the F1 threads here will continue for the excitement of who's going where and the build up to the new cars for the testing days and the first race on 16 March in sunny Melbourne. That date is a special day for me also.

Are you aware that MAX got a 10 sec. penalty while he was P3 in the race ?
Mate . MAX had the time to drink a gin-tonic in the pit ...

IMHO. You didn't watch the race ...

3rd fastest car? It was the fastest car outright for more than Half the season.

KMags got the Fastest Lap but thanks to the FIA only awarding the one point for it up to 10th place only, KM was left out finishing 16th.

Red bull is only being listed as the third fastest car in the constructors because they've chosen an underperforming 2nd driver next to max, which is somewhat by design (to avoid him having to compete for points). In reality, it was the fastest car on track.

With that being said, they've clearly taken a step backwards as Newey off boards from the team. Will be interesting to see if they can win without him next year.

Perez is toast now that he's cost red bull 2 spots in the wcc

From the Miami GP on , the McLaren Papaya car was unbeatable that's why they won the WCC and because the RB Mexican KitKat man s@cked in every race..
The KitKat man is a f@cking joke (!)

But the Papaya's lost the WDC anyway because Lando isn't and wasn't ready to handle the WDC pressure with MAX .
If that was not enough , McLaren filled (stuffed)! water in their tires to last forever in the races ...
And the Papaya race strategy was like a comedy soap ..

Glad KMag got a good gig for next year. All that travel and hard work is a young mans game for sure. I honestly don't know how HAM & ALO still do it! But, good for them

Just saw the vid of half asleep PIA not watching his mirrors as MAX challenges at the start, PIA will have to be more on the ball if he wants to race with MAX.

Think the West Londoner takes that with a knockout punch to his teammate, consolation prize given to him today by RUS as a goodbye to say a final ta-ra to LEW

Only by a gift , LEW can beat the Russell boy (!)

Just wait for the 2025 season , Charlie will destroy LEW completely in every race ..
George and Lewis were on the same strategy (inverted) and Lewis made up like 12 grid spots on the track, finishing with passing his teammate round the outside on the final lap. Lewis race pace has, and continues to be mega. Mercedes will miss out on hamnertime for sure.... BTW George still had an opportunity to take home a podium today, so to suggest he phoned it in is ridiculous

Assuming the trend continues from this year, Ferrari v mclaren will be must see TV

Depends of the car developments during the winter break. But Ferrari improved a lot in this season.
Of course , McLaren has already an outstanding car to begin with .
One thing is for sure : Red Bull gets this time more windtunnel time (!)
Thanks to the Mexican KitKat man ..

Actually it's so predictable ,don't see who can beat MAX in the 2025 season .

PIA should have sensed how MAX was challenging there and just gave an inch or two more, it wouldn't break the bank to do that instead of squeezing him shut eye and hoping for the best.

Both McLaren's let the door open for MAX to try it on the inside of T1 ...
So , don't know why MAX wouldn't try it ?

As I said : MAX had nothing to lose in this race as the 2024 World Champion => https://www.m3post.com/forums/showth...1#post31691691

According to the legend..
