F1 2025 Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix

[ptrg]

He made too many mistakes, that is the bottom line. Any crap about McLaren costing him is simply not true

For every driving mistake he made, he made another by never ever standing up to his team.

Just once this year, had he stood up, this outcome wouldn't be happening.

But he didnt.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Got a sad feeling they will favour Lando next year as well.

Of course they will but in reality next year is a holding year for Oscar until Webber can work out who the 2nd best car is under the new regs and who to move him to. We will have to be patient but hes good enough and will win one in the right team (it just wont be mclaren).

Who cares about the WDC, Stroll was cemented in the history books tonight as he made the last overtake of the DRS era!

 

[Rod Stroker]

We all say Lando bottles it, but the history books will show a choke by Oscar, no two ways about it.

Leading the WDC with 6 races to go, daylight to third, yet ends up not winning, nor coming second.

Nice guys finish not first (or second).

Lando probably should have won. He's been an F1 driver since 2017. This is only Oscar's third year.

 

[Gasometer]

I think RB is the story of the year; to turn it around from the mess of the Horner sacking and an uncompetitive car to come home with the wettest of sails has been awesome

As for Oscar, his time will come

 

[Duck Farmer]

Norris made mistakes too. Oscar finished 13 points behind in a season he lost 6 points from a position swap.

Take the swap and the Silverstone penalty out of it and Oscar is WDC.

 

[happy_eagle]

Why are they doing a driving test next week if these cars are done with.

 

[ptrg]

Scientists need to study mine (and most others on here) brain's to work out just how Landos mum manages to trigger us so so much...

 

[Roonescape]

Zak Brown is such a w*nker

Hate the campaigner. Wish him the worst.

 

[satty]

Probably because there aren't viable options out there at the moment.

None where he can go and drive in a title competing car whilst being the no 1 driver .

Car was clearly tampered with.

Looked like the best driver on the grid for 3/4 of the season, had a down patch that let Lando back in, then “found form” when he was out of the title race.

Thats too convenient for me.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Nah it meant nothing - without those two points McLaren would have just swapped Lando and Oscar at the end.

Yes but it would have pushed Norris harder at the start to not give 2nd up which may have forced an error.

 

[Roonescape]

God I hope we boo the living shit out of Zak and Lando when they come to Melbourne next year .

I know that is poor form and crass , but seeing a fellow Melburnian getting shafted in the manner he has doesn't sit well with me.

100%. I know I'd be going 'til I lose my voice.

 

[brutus76]

Classy by Oscar to congratulate Lando's family and friends. Not sure same would have happened had he won.

 

[happy_eagle]

Take the swap and the Silverstone penalty out of it and Oscar is WDC.

Put back in the engine failure at Zaandvoort and he is back ahead of Oscar

(see how this is a silly exercise?)

 

[ptrg]

Oscar needs to ask Max how to be a hungry prick here.

 

[catstorm]

Just once this year, had he stood up, this outcome wouldn't be happening.

But he didnt.

What exactly did you want him to do, how does he stand up to his team?

He voiced his displeasure in Singapore and what did it get him?

 

[Gasometer]

Scientists need to study mine (and most others on here) brain's to work out just how Landos mum manages to trigger us so so much...

Is she a 25 year old trapped in a 60 year old?

 

[FR0GGY]

Awkward cool down room

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Probably because there aren't viable options out there at the moment.

None where he can go and drive in a title competing car whilst being the no 1 driver .

RBR isnt because the team is built around max unless he leaves.

The reality is Aston and other teams might take massive steps forward under the new regs but we wont know for 12-18 months who the best cars after McLaren are which is why Oscar has to wait until theres no data then move.

 

[DamoESP]

Why are they doing a driving test next week if these cars are done with.

They do the F1 young drivers test every year at the end of the season, even if regs are changing

 

[satty]

Put back in the engine failure at Zaandvoort and he is back ahead of Oscar

(see how this is a silly exercise?)

The points loss at baku and brazil need to be included as well.

 

[FR0GGY]

No real congratulations to him in there

Sore loser mentality, we should be better than this.

 

[juice t]

And on another note

The last driver in history with a DRS overtake is....

LANCE STROLL
