  1. I think success is not always the same as greatness. Just a couple examples; nobody will say that Robert Horry is a greater player than Jordan or LeBron but, he won seven NBA titles. Was he awesome? Yes but, in 16 seasons I think he scored way fewer than 10,000 points, in over 1,000 games. Nobody, especially on this website, would say Franco Harris was a better running back than Earl Campbell but, Franco won four Super bowls. I think Earl was a better running back who didn’t have the same level of success. Flip the two and Earl’s success as a Steeler would have been epic. I just think that the Mercedes was so far ahead of the rest of the field during that stretch of Hamilton/Mercedes domination. When that car can go from the back of the field with very little difficulty in a few laps it’s just so much better. On the pre-race show they just did a short segment on Hamilton and his Ferrari struggles. Martin worked very hard at the end to try and say that age is not a problem for Hamilton, which he is no more qualified to say that than I am to say I think it is an issue. What do we say Antonelli finishes the season higher in the points than does Hamilton?
  2. Fine. Is not the same as winning seven championships and 100+ races.
  3. I’m not a fan of Hamilton’s, I’m not against him I’m just not for him. I’ve said many times that I’m a Schumacher fan, Michael, not Ralf. I admire how dominant Hamilton was with a car that was so far ahead of the field. He won the races but, his fall to average has been quite stark. He has six pole positions since, and including the 2021 season. Five of those came in 2021. That’s six in the last 95 races. He won eight races in 2021. He won two in 2024, none in 2022, 2023 and so far none in 2025. That’s two wins in his last 72 races and wasn’t one of those last year a gift? I just think his time has past.
  4. I don’t think Hamilton did anything wrong. I just think it is Father Time. He’s where he has been all season, and last. He doesn’t have the best car and he didn’t the last few years at Mercedes. I think age. He’s 40-years old.
  5. Piastri on pole. Russell 2nd. LeClerc 3, Antonelli 4 Gasly 5, Norris 6 Max 7, Sainz 8 Hamilton 9, Yuki 10 I like Gasly
  6. This last minute of Q3 is amazing
  7. Then the question is, ‘do they let them race?’.
  8. 9th & 10th for RedBull in Q2.. McLaren 1st &2nd. Gasly 3rd, Mercedes 4th & 5th. Ferrari 6th & 8th.
  9. Back to 🟩
  10. On the video Martin said it was on an up shift, and I think with the right tires on painted surface, not the track surface, he was doomed.
  11. Oh my, big crash by a HAAS, Ocon. Right at the start of Q2. Big hit to the rear of the car. Looked like his right wheels got off the track and then it sent him across the track and into the wall.
  12. The wind is really blowing
  13. Bearman, Stroll (Ha Ha Ha), Borteletto, Lawson and Albon don’t make it to Q2. Yuki was 14th, barely advanced.
  14. Q1 has started on ESPN2. Just about 5 minutes to go in Q1. RedBulls need to get a time in. McLaren looks strong. LeClerc in 3rd. He’s been very good this season. Both Mercedes drivers in the top-10
  15. https://x.com/chris_hummer/status/1911055080469516672 Apparently he is gone from Tennessee.
  16. I was being a bit cheeky. I had one eye on the TV and the other doing other things. I am waiting for qualifying now
  17. At the end of P3, Yuki is 20th and Lawson is 13th
  18. Players might have to be added to this thread title. Tennessee QB not a practice this week because he is looking to renegotiate his NIL deal. Crazy times we live in. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44630900/qb-nico-iamaleava-skips-vols-practice-amid-nil-talks-sources-say
  19. Still ESPN https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2025/bahrain
  20. Florida had 40 rebounds to 39 and Cryer was the only Cougar in double figures.
  21. 32 defensive rebounds for Florida. Largest lead: UF 2; UH 12 Assists: UF 14; UH 5 Eight points more at the FT line for UF.
  22. I don’t think we could have asked for a better Final Four and title game. That was fun stuff. Any of the four teams could have won.
  23. No points for Houston in the final 2:05. Turnovers and missed shots.
  24. Just fucking try to score. Don’t try to run to the last second. Someone earlier said they get flashbacks when Houston’s tries to run clock.
