4 victories on the trot and now pole at Monaco. Kimi Antonelli is the real deal. Especially considering he is leaving veteran George Russell in the dust. And he is just 19. Incredible!
I don’t think George is being sabotaged but Kimi has been to in his head in a major way by now.
Russell spends 3 years at Williams then 2 years as Hamiltons #2 then when it’s his time to lead the team a teenager comes in and takes the lead in his second year.

George Russell 6 feet 1". Kimi Antonelli is 5 feet 7.5". For reference, Lewis Hamilton is 5 feet 8.5". In a sport where victory is by micro-seconds, is it possible George Russell is hampered by his height?
Nope... he's just not as good a driver as Kimi. He's more of a "steady-Eddie" but never pushes it to the limit. Kimi's got a fire that George doesn't. George has an over-inflated sense of entitlement.

And I thought Monaco was a shitshow.
Finally, Ferrari got their tactics right, Hamilton gets his first win as a Testarosso. Russell being an ass wipe contributed to the win, he sabotaged young Kimi. So many DNF, that was the biggest surprise. Lance Stroll thunderous conquest of F1 stalls again.

Most of the other drivers, including Max Verstappen, went over to hug Lewis Hamilton. No words
Ferrari finally gave in and changed the braking system on Hamilton's car to his recommendation. But they did not change Leclerc's.
So while Leclerc crashed in Monaco and also during Q3 in Barcelona, Hamilton was sailing smoothly to second in Monaco and victory in Barcelona.
The older geezer thought Ferrari a thing about cars. Who would have thought that?
George: "I could have two titles by now had I been in a better car"
(gets better car and watches as teammate passes him)
Felt bad that Kimi's car let him down. It was a great overtake!
Lewis / Ferrari got it right! (and a VSC at the perfect time)
Really wish my boy Max had a better ride. Would be fun to see them all fighting it out at the top.

Don't prick tease me.
I'm still backing Kimi for the Driver's Championship, even though Toto Wolf is a Mascarpone eater.
When will Lance Stroll dominate F1?

Great for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari. Could have been a 1, 2 indeed. Glad seems like Mercedes is not going to run away with it.
And for sure, Max Verstappen is going to retire after this season lol. After dominating for a while, he has been brought down to earth by non-superior car and he is having trouble dealing with that reality.
Hello Max: in F1 as in real life, things dont always go your way. So be done with the expletives and threat to retire, suck it up and deal with it

Red Bull has over-extended it's brand, it's founder Dietrich Mateschitz died in 2022. Since that time the brand has been in decline, the floor fell out when Christian Horner was forced to resign. It was always inflated with a valuation 2/3 the size of Coke, it's domination of F1 is over. RB Leipzig finished 3rd in the Bundesliga in 2026, it may never reach that height again.
The travails of Mateshitz home town club.
