He’s fully become Sargeant 2.0The Alpines simultaneously wreck in the same corner. Colapinto ruined his career with this move. If he'd remained Williams test driver he'd be the hottest prospect in silly season.
They just confirmed it is. And it's been there for at least 25 laps.Is there a branch sitting on the right side of the s/f straight?
Define mid in this circumstance.This championship battle is equal parts sad and hilarious. Two very mid drivers found themselves in one of the greatest cars of all time, and now that they’re to decide the title between themselves they take turns trying to outchoke one another. Piastri opened the door wide open this weekend, and Norris only got 6 points out of it.
Most of the F1 grid is actually reasonably competent right now, meaning I wouldn’t say there are any real wankers out there besides maybe Colapinto. But I don’t think there’s anything that makes Piastri or Norris that discernible talent-wise from any random career midfield driver like an Albon or a Hulkenberg. And they commit too many self-inflicted, unforced errors for me to regard them as top drivers.Define mid in this circumstance.
I'd say both right now are B-tier drivers, but honestly I like the craziness between the both of them. Its keeping the championship fun and honest without a clear number one.
Its different and IMHO its been enjoyable.
I think Piastri is better than Norris and will ultimately win the championship, but it’s hard to overlook the fact that he hasn’t really had to do much battling thus far in his career.Piastri is pretty good. He rarely makes mistakes. Better than Norris, IMO. This is only his third season and he might win the championship. People forget that Verstappen used to make a lot of mistakes when he was younger.
Max has made a fairly decent bunch of drivers look ordinary.But I don’t think there’s anything that makes Piastri or Norris that discernible talent-wise from any random career midfield driver like an Albon or a Hulkenberg.
Politically it's exactly the same as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Same guy has been running the show since 2003 and his dad did before that.I noticed this topic and realized I knew nothing about Azerbaijan, other than it was once in the USSR. My impression was it was another one of the central Asian 'Stans', a dry, scrubby, mountainous, relatively unsophisticated, relatively poor Third World country. I wondered how such a country was hosting an F1 race.
So I spent an enjoyable 20 minutes over my breakfast reading up on it and having my ignorance updated. Prosperous fossil fuel economy, farther west geographically than I expected, relatively Western in policy compared to some countries around it, relatively moderate by our standards compared to other Islamic nations. I'm still not likely to watch this race but I'm better for having opened the topic.
Thanks, @Hotrod .
