Max will very likely go back to his 33 car number.

Rosberg deserved WDC 100%. When Hamilton has completely left his guard down (mostly due to LARPing as socialite), Rosberg didn't take a break and trained his ass off.

He also totally broke Hamilton mentally. Just look at Spain 16. Yeah, the idiot commentators tried to put that on Rossberg and the team management tried to say 50/50 (except Lauder who put it 100% on hambone). But really he moved over to defend and Hamilton willingly drive onto the grass for some dumb reason thinking he'd be able to overtake there. It was 100% a mistake borne from pressure on him, it is also 100% why they went lookung for a compliant number 2 to replace him.
 
I'm glad Max and co made the second half of the season interesting. Seeing Goblando crying and hugging his parents was somewhat touching even if his whole personality is revolting to me.

I'm hopeful the new regs will give the sport several competitive constructors. I'd love to see Fernando and Leclerc in the thick of it with Max and George. I'd like to see McLaren go to hell where they deserve to be.

My dream for next year:

- Fernando wins a race
- Lance wins a race (soft spot for the autistic)
- Goblando comes in full of himself and just stinks
- Hamilton crying at some point
- Hamilton tripping in the paddock due to his gay ass baggy pants and everyone points and laughs and he's crying. And one of his clip on corn rows comes off and he has to put it in his pocket as he is runs away.
- actual racing, please God just actual racing. I want to see a full season of 22' Leclerc / Verstappen like battles. Please.

Always mega depressed when the season ends. Looking forward to next year.
 
The dream for next year is one engine supplier nails it so have teams with a great engine, but a team that does not have that engine nails the aero. Then it will make for massive differences between GPs and some interesting strategic games.

At least we shouldn’t get the gay 2014 Mercedes engine is unasailable because we won't have the gay tokens and there is big changes to aero too.

Also I'm just glad DRS is gone. They can make actual moves in corners from skill reather than being discouraged to go for it until the designated drive by zone. Plus it should bring back the defensive game, I want to see drivers defending for their lives on worn tyres because they went for an optimistic early stop rather than just having the "prime" strategy drivers drive by them on the straight with no way to prevent it. This will upset the redditors: it is possible to have an amazing race with few overtakes just like it is possible to have an amazing low scoring football game.

Hey now he had a good shot at Turkey 2020 but the team screwed him over

Also just read that Hamilton seems to be doing a "Get away from this shit" strategy. almost as if he is denial this year actually happened. Guess he is just not used to being getting stomped on. Just look at his results: 19:5 Quali results against Leclerc and in races it's the same. That has got to hurt when Sainz managed to get accustomed to Williams way better, even scoring two podiums before Hamilton got one at Ferrari. Heck I dove into my autism in regards to F1 points and if we apply the points system of 1991 Hamilton would have scored 19 points, 10 less then Antonelli

I think this is the best thing he can do as of now. Forget this season even existed, and try to come back with some more force and a clear mind next season, considering everyone is starting from a brand new slate in respect to car performance.
 
Despite all their bitching to the point the FIA messed with the rules ruinging the easy to follow aero rules, in terms of points the Mercedes 2022 nopod bouncer was their best car of the ground effect seasons.

From Piastri's post race interview...

"...when you look at the season as a whole, I'm very very proud of the work that I've been able to put in, you know, my teams been able to put in, to make so much progress from last year."

He doesn't address or compliment McLaren or Norris directly. He looks at the ground a bunch as he chooses his words, and he only acknowledges his and his garage's efforts. Maybe I'm looking too deep into it, but he seems pretty dissappointed with the team.

When you're that fucking close to winning and it is absolutely evident that your team is in on the fix, yeah, you'd be evidently disappointed, too.

Everyone says Max is the people's champion. Nah, fam, for me, it's Oscar. Max is the best driver on the grid, yeah, but at least he has the backing of his team. Oscar got as far as he did despite his team's best efforts (and yes, that is also a shot at Ferrari).
 
"A 1:2 scale model of the Safety Car will be sufficient to summon the real thing during the race, cargo cult-style," they insisted, ignoring my strong recommendation that it must be life size and have a working engine that would run frankincense.

Well, there was no safety car and now Lando Norris is World Champion. I hope they're happy.

The most frustrating thing about the race from my perspective was Leclerc looking like he might be up for a challenge, then dropping off, then, for no reason doing fast laps again.
 
You know that asterisk that cultLH applied to Max's 2021 WDC? Welp, I'm taking that and applying it to Nando's 2025 WDC.

On a more positive note, Max's performance in the second half of the season was the stuff that only a true GOAT could ever hope to achieve.

Pastry knows he's cooked at Team Papaya. The only solace I'm taking is that being close to a WDC at McLaren is a much better outcome than being stuck in the mid-field at Alpine.

He had one of those seasons like Senna 1993, Schumi 1996 or Alonso 2012, dragging a dog of a car to positions it didn't belong to. Al-Hamil and Goblando could never.

>Alpine
>mid-field

They came 10th with 22 points while Sauber in 9th had 70 points. They wish they could break into the mid-field.

Also great to see Williams winning the best of the rest constructors coming in 5th and both drivers in the top 10. So glad they're off the back of the grid and getting podiums.

Max Verstappen - People's Champ. Kudos to lando. But fuck off. Verstappen is the fucking goat. And im tired of pretending like thats not the truth. Fuck your world championship. Fuck your papaya rules. Fuck your team orders. Fuck your competent team mate. Fuck your silver spoon ass bullshit. Max fucked himself in Spain. That aside get the fuck out of her with your lame ass crybaby(and not in a passionate for racing way but a spoiled rich boy way) smooth boy championships. Fuck this whole sport. Burn it to the ground. Its max verstappen versus a bunch of fucking who cares.

No one is saying he isn't in contention for the greats. Is he the best of all time? Beats me, I'm new to this, but Hamilton brought home 7 WDCs to Max's 4 (whether or not they were controversial does not matter), and Max didn't handily beat McLaren when he god damn should have, and realistically, that should be what people talk about when they talk about Max this year: that he only got off his ass mid-season for the catch-up. Yeah, it's solid, but I wouldn't glaze over someone who acts like he's so fucking above it until whenever he feels like getting out of bed.

I don't even hate Max, but I'd side-eye him all fucking day for dropping the ball.

Max knew what game he was playing all season and fell short. That's how the game is played.

On a separate note: Carlos, you are my man, but shut up.

Alternate read: "You can be a pussy and still win WDC." Not what he meant, but still, if you've got the favoritism of your team and a whole grid not showing up to play, yes, you too can afford to be less than ruthless. It's why people are acting like Max was robbed.

Max is still young, he has time to collect 4 more titles and his 2023 domination is uncontested.
He's one of the GOATs
