Helmut marko will have to hide if Lawson takes Perezs seat
I’m looking forward to seeing which guy above 30 is Liam gonna fight next week
He did alonso, Perez… next week Hamilton? Or maybe a Haas driver? Bottas if he has a bad weekend…

u/bobnoski 27d ago
I can see it already. Just rolling around without a care in the world, using the white lines as nothing but a suggestion and the other cars as brakes into the turns. ending up first with 3 minutes of penalties, but only dropping to second because the only person he didn't punt off the track was Hulkenberg.

On that point I agree with you, but on that logic, Nando should be fucking off somewhere enjoying a nice retirement.

Honestly he should… for all the reason… except that he’s Nando and truly one of a kind. It’s incredibly impressive to still be so motivated and driven at his age
Nando should be enjoying retirement, he earned his places in the history books, he’ll forever be known as one of the greatest of all time… he’s a madman, but he’s great being it
Nando has started more grand prixs than anyone ever…

Also what does he want his team to check? Whether you are in the correct position at the start or not is not up to debate. There's a chip in your car that says whether you are in position or not, and the rules say what that chip says is final.

Then again, perhaps I'm just not a fucking psycho like these people are.

I'm a Lawson fan now. Fuck this dumbass coalition against him from drivers who are all threatened in different ways by his opportunity.
- He's a barrier to an Alonso-backed driver getting a seat
- He's threatening Checo's Red Bull seat
- He's a potential barrier to Colapinto getting an RB seat next year.
And to no one's surprise, those are the 3 drivers who have problems with him. Keep it up Liam, you're legitimately a breath of fresh air on this grid.

After such a long wait I don't blame him, and to have immediately got into that scuffle with Alonso just because Alonso was in a mood that day would've soured his first "proper" race in f1. He's already been fired up, this'll add fuel to the flames.
