Yes for sure he is a strong driver, probably even the better driver at the current moment but.
There is a big but the previous year he was given in the last track the title, they haven't given the possibility to Hamilton to fight for it, they even changed the rule to provide an advantage to Verstappen.
And in these 2 years they got a substantial advantage for going over the budget cup, imagine now to see RBR with 0.5 seconds slower per lap with a consequentlial smaller pressure on opponents.

Congratulations to Verstappen which showed a huge consistency and a great maturity for a driver of his age,he fully deserved this year to be Champion much different than last year were a lot of polemics decided it.The race was beautiful today but it was early in the morning so I missed it,could not wake up at 6:45 AM but announcing it in a post race interview is not the best way to announce the second title for Verstappen,this was an error especially considering we were at Honda home race and they should have been much more prepared when everybody was expecting the second title.
Much different? He is running for 2 years with a doped car. They had spent around 5-10 million over the cap, keep in mind the engineering work in 1 car is around 4-5 million here. We have rules and they are doing what they want every race. And yes is doping, mechanical doping. |

It would be something unbeleavable if he wouldn't received penalty for cutting corner and gaining advantage.
The common sense is to give penalty in the following circumstances: - is not the 1st cut they do during the race - the opponent is doing an overtake and you gain an advantage doing the cut. Both of these requirements were missing. I don't think I can recall a case of a 5-second penalty for a cut while the opponent is not doing an overtake. |

RBR is just much better, they are faster in any condition.
Easy win for Max, I'm guessing Leclerc is under investigation, just imagine if he gives him 5 seconds now...

And Juventus lost once again, it almost 2 years now they do not win a direct game with a direct strong opponent.
They have never won with Napoli Milan or Roma Inter Lazio in the last 24 months.

Pole position for Max but he is under investigation.
He deserves a penalty for impeding to Norris but as we already know, RBR is basically immune and he will keep the 1st position.

It is almost time for big comebacks in Juventus.
Di Maria will be available in 1 week.
Chiesa will be available in 2 weeks.
Pogba will be ready in 3 weeks.
And then we will able to see the real strength of this team, hoping it will be not to late.

This is really interesting news indeed. I was expecting him to find a team for himself but it looks like things aren't going well in that way. Alpine has been speculated with him quite much but then this isn't happening. Ricciardo has been a talented driver and he's been shown as one of the best drivers on the grid. But after his performance in this season he dropped to this level. Being the third driver for any team is a big decline in his career. He won't take any seat at Mercedes for a long time obviously.
I think his plan could be to be 3rd driver for 2023 but in 2024 when the contract with Hamilton will expire he could aim to be the second driver after Russell (who will be probably the 1st driver of the team). |

Hamilton 15.00 to be finish on top at FP3 could make for an interesting bet... What do you guys think?
Without the raid should be an easy pole-position for Max Verstappen. This track is similar to SPA so at the high-speed RBR has a big advantage |

Juventus lacks players with high mentality who also have high creativity when controlling the flow of the game. That can't be separated from their failure because they didn't bring in the person they needed, yes I think they failed in the last transfer market. Monotonous, that's what I've seen from some of their games, there's nothing I can expect from them when they play football like that. Releasing old players and bringing in new players who until now have not been able to make a major contribution to the team.
The main problem of Juventus at this point are the injuries. Their 3 best players haven't basically played yet (Chiesa Pogba and Di Maria), and the rest of the team also got a lot of problems. They just added more coaches for the preparation. |

They were very lucky
Well, they got 1 goal disallowed for 5 centimeters and they missed 3 goals in 1v1 versus the goalkeeper, how it that can be lucky? They could be easily be 5-0 after 60 minutes. |

Juventus won their game but it will be hard, very hard for them to qualify, they basically need to win the 3 remaining games.
Milan got devastated in England but the situation in their group is way more open.

1-0 for Juventus and 1-1 for PSG, not the best result for Juventus.
They need to hope for a victory from PSG.
Haaland is an alien.
