I've never believed one single word from Wolff 's mouth..
Just think about the past , Mercedes was sandbagging in every race in the times of the Party-Mode and DAS .
And I'm pretty sure , Wolff didn't changed (!)

Ferrari should have a chat with Brembo.

All that Hamilton could do was taking evasive action to avoid a crash. Must have been super frustrating for him (or any other F1 driver encountering the same situation).

Time for a 'gloves-off' Piastri v Norris title fight? F1 Q&A

Wondering how anyone would feel if he were Piastri, noticing that team mate Norris needs to be pampered to be kept in the WDC title race.

It appears to go onto McLarens strategy to 'work as a team' but Piastri has a valid point that is being sidelined by Brown and Stella, in fact ignored.

Remember you put this on before, it's Spa in the Ardennes. I'll pass on the table names apart from you and your good wife. Guess you chose there as one of the best race tracks up there with some others.

It was in Italy.

Table names: La Source, Eau Rouge, Les Combes, Stavelot, Blanchimont, etc.

Just as M5Rick I still remember you posted that picture before ..
Married in Italy , so I understand the whole picture now . I think so ..
Picture quality is fine , but not from the highest quality . Must be from 20-25 years ago.
What can I say . I'm sorry (!) But how could I know .
I have already been to an Italian wedding twice , and twice it was a blast until sunrise .
Artemis watch out for your head and her Italian kettles in the kitchen ...

And BTW : Your should have been a Ferrari fan and not a MAX fan (!)
Edit (!) Wait ...She's a Ferrari fan

That's why I like Oscar more than Lando, Oscar is much much much more low key and doesn't need to have a perfect day to get a result for a race whereas Lando has to have everything perfect - team order decisions as an example.. in fact for Oscar's sake, I would focus on controlled aggression and how to use that to his advantage

No more Mr nice guy....let his racing and results validate his emotions to the team and Lando..

If anyone is going to win the championship if not Max, I hope it's Oscar.

My daughter is a Charles Leclerc fan. But that would also be the case even if he'd drive for Haas or ride a bicycle.

I remembered years ago a nice day out in some Italian city on a Sunday when it was race day. I told my wife to go watch the F1 race (when it was still at 2pm as it mostly used to be). Checked for bars with those big TVs. Found one, inevitably fully packed with dozens of hardcore Ferrari tifosi. At some point I shouted "Come on, Max !". All heads turned into my direction: "Who's this guy ?". My wife (to save my ass): "He's Belgian, it's OK" ("È belga. Tutto a posto. Niente."). I got out alive of the lion's den, haha.

By the way, get an Aperol Spritz instead of a Red Bull. It's more distinguished and orange.
