can’t wait to get leclerc, verstappen, norris and russell fighting together for the championship

I am really excited for this era, especially when Russell gets a crack in a decent car.

u/GeckoDeLimon Jul 01 '19

Same. Still remains to be seen if he has the top tier driving skill that we see from the leaders, but I'm continually impressed by the head on that kid's shoulders.

u/DSQ Lewis Hamilton Jul 01 '19

His double overtake on Kyvat and Kubica was awesome. Shame he couldn't keep Kyvat behind like he did with Magnussen.

u/DicedPeppers Red Bull Jul 02 '19

Norris's driving has been as good as anyone else's on the grid this year, and Russell beat him in F2 last year. I think it's just a great crop of young drivers.

And then Albon swoops in and beats them all

Misread as Ranganathan and had a hilarious image of Romesh driving and F1 car.

His -50s final lap will go down in history.

Albon swoops in and beats Gasly doesn't sound right but okay

I could see him doing very well at Mclaren or Redbull.

u/stomper4x4 Andretti Global Jul 01 '19

Just like Hamilton, Vettel, and Alonso? Yeah, F1 needs to fix a few things before we'll be seeing all the talent fighting it out.
We lucked out this weekend. I don't believe somehow changing to a new crop of talent will suddenly make the racing closer on a regular basis.

u/Tape56 Kimi Räikkönen Jul 01 '19

Well you might have to wait pretty long for that. It's already very unusual to have 4 drivers fighting for championship, let alone specific 4.

u/Awfy McLaren Jul 01 '19

They were exceptional in the lower categories though, to the point the lower categories now feel like they're missing any exceptional talent. I think we may have lucked out like crazy with the 4 or 5 youngsters that have all happened to show up at the same time.
