(Yeah I know Bahrain is likely a fluke course but it was cool to see them not humiliate themselves for once.)
Nah. They'll taste the champagne many times this season.

I don't want to shyt on him yet because it's his first real race at Mercedes. But he should know what he's doing with tires though
Even though there's a lot more pressure on George now, he actually dodged a bullet with Mercedes not having a dominant car yet. Because then all the Lewis haters, who pray for his downfall, would also be on George's ass like they were on Bottas
So at least he'll have some time to settle in.
For everyone claiming the Merc ain't fast needs to be told Lewis wasn't too far off Checo or Sainz when the tires were fresher. George ain't driving a complete piece of shyt out there. It's still fast. It just ain't the championship favorite fast. By the middle of the season if the car gets better and Lewis still driving away from him then he should be criticized just based on how he lobbied for the seat last year.

He's the same guy that lost it behind the safety car a couple seasons back... so it's not shocking. He's likely a Landoish level driver. He's not racing at the level of Lewis, Charles, and Max. They challenged and asserted dominance immediately. In Lewis' case they had to literally handcuff him to stop him from running away from a 2xWDC. If you have to "settle" in at the sharp end, you're not that guy. Same with Sainz. He's never going to truly challenge Charles.

damn i've love to get behind the wheel.. i be too scared to go above 120MPH tho lol.
Do yall see Ford or BMW ever gettin into the game again? The sport is on the rise more and more.. you'd wanna believe that'd bring about more constructors?

I don't see other manufacturers making the investment until F1 goes truly next gen with powertrains. Everyone is committing billions into electric.
He looked so down post race that he was that far off the pace of Charles. Lol you can tell he thought coming into this season he’d be making a case to be the #1 for SF.

Charles biggest weakness is consistency. I would still need to see him put together a season long campaign. Max is pretty consistent and we saw how he eventually cracked under the pressure. These younger drivers are very talented, but I doubt their mental fortitude.
Porsche will at some point. It's all basically a marketing expense. The Red Bull team is quite literally part of the marketing arm of Red Bull, but the problem for new constructors was always needing to spend like crazy to keep up with Merc/Ferrari and that's why they have the cost cap now. I don't think Ford will jump back in the game again, but Audi or Porsche have some other high level racing teams so it would make sense for one of them to make a jump.
Even with a safety car?
I was under impression Audi and Porsche were only coming in as engine manufacturers. That's why everyone was so welcoming to them while they don't want to hear a thing about Andretti getting a team.
I thought it was going to be an Aston Martin situation for Porsche with Red Bull where RBR makes the engines and Porsche is the title sponsor. I don't think anyone wants to do a Honda where you're building an engine from zero anymore and will use RBR as a base to learn from, but you are right that's why they're blocking Andretti. He low key fukked up by going at it on his own instead of coming with a major car brand sponsor (Ford) who have global appeal instead of having his pops drop hints in interviews.Even with a safety car?

So Porsche would design the car but use the Red Bull power unit?
