I feel sorry for Wiliams. Mercedes stole their stand out discovery Bottas, then used him up and threw him away. Then Mercedes steals Williams' next bright young hope Russell. In between which they had a period of running 2 paying drivers. Now Williams gets Red Bull's worst ever driver dumped in their lap... quality!

Whatever colour Williams chooses in roulette, pick the opposite!

So Monza brings us the second tryout of sprint racing qualifying, actual qualifying tonight at 18:00, perfect Friday entertainment in other words

I think the way to win WDC is, you can’t always be the nice guy. You have to show that you want it, physically, mentally and emotionally! 😡 Just look at LH. He seems to be a nice guy off the track, but he’s definitely ruthless on track. Even playing bluff and (radio) mind games during race 😲

Hamilton doesn’t need to win more titles or GPs. He’s already legendary in his status. Russell needs to flat out at once!

And a good team mate and some luck. Lewis has won 4 races this season. Max has won 7. Yet Lewis trails Max by only 3 points. Max has had 3 DNF beyond his control, of which 2 caused by Merc. Lewis has had 1 which was his own fault.
Bottas has helped Lewis on various occasions whereas Checo has been out of the picture for pretty much the whole season so far.

Unfortunately Checo has not helped Max but we can see his consistency and drive even when he starts at the back (at times his fault, at times his car)

Red Bull can’t win WCC if Checo doesn’t deliver maximum points. I still believe he is the better driver (vs others) even if Gasly is improving at Alpha Tauri. He has the race experience which will hopefully haul more points for the team.

I try not to think about how big Max's lead "should" be if it weren't for those f-in things

After securing P1 in sprint qualifying, he now starts at the back for his teammate to be P1 in the sprint race 😲

That’s what you call best team mate ever 😵‍💫

I understood he would start at the back on Sunday, but I could be wrong?

MAXimum points! ::psy::

I just hope no one becomes a wrecking ball! 🤦
Bottas out of the competition so that risk should be low now. Maybe Daniel R might cause a mega crash, he is not used to starting in the front row so the pressure could be too high on him
