MODERATORS
I'm convinced he's never recovered fully from catching COVID.
Yes, yes you are. Sorry folks but without his shiny silver arrow, he is just another driver.
he used to be better than this. and it wasn't just because he had a better car. he used to be a better driver.
This is F1 in a nutshell. The pool of drivers are all pretty good but they don't really matter. Its all about the engineering and money.
when the other driver is consistently faster and even gets to pole position while you can't even get out of q2 or q3 (last weekend)... then its time to realize that isn't all about the machinery.
I don't disagree, but his teammate did put it on pole. The driver has some impact.
I'm glad he finally realizes it. He needs to retire. It's painful watching him.
If the figures of how much he makes as driver, brand ambassador, from various sponsorships, etc. are remotely true, he has 100 million reasons each year to cheer up.
yeah no kidding. probably one of the worst sports contracts in history. and the longer he keeps racing, the more he devalues his brand.
Good grief. Never seen him this dejected.
I had hopes for him after the move to Ferrari. But it seems they were not to be. Ferrari are, and have been, a mid rank team for about twenty years. It was a step down for him.
I just hope that next year will be different. But who am I kidding. Eh?
Ferrari and Linux will dominate
It's the year of the Ferrari desktop, I'm sure of it!
