  1. Or at mimnimum, just don't count those as real games, wins, etc in terms of the playoff.
  2. Lewis's avg was 9.04. The reason people are saying he's done is because he's had a terrible year compared to his teammate this year, as part of a bigger trend vs his teammates, because he's had 9 Q1 or Q2 exits, and because he's been completely uncompetitive in Q the last 4 races while his teammate has averaged P7. Personally I've seen this happening for a while, but it's much more pronounced recently. But like I said above, maybe he just needs a reset with the new rules. I'm not optimistic, really, but I hope it's true. F1 is better with Lewis working at a high level.
  3. Yep. In F1, your first, most important yardstick is your teammate. This year Charles outqualified Lewis with an avg position of 5.46 to 9.04. But it gets worse. In the last 4 races, it's about 7 to 17. WTAF? And re: the shitbox Ferrari, it wasn't always a shitbox this year. It qualified in the top 3 grid positions 9 times this year. 8 by Leclerc. 1 by Lewis. Every time Leclerc put it in the top 3, he outqualified Lewis.
  4. I wonder how much it might be just him not being able to get his head around a heavy ground effect car. Who knows, maybe in the new ruleset, he resets and does better.
  5. This. And, IMHO, the relative ease with which he was able to handle Bottas (Toto's 'sensational wingman') did him no favors later on when he no longer had the luxury of a dominant car. Yeah I said earlier this season that Albon was looking a bit lackluster by his standards. What I've seen since then has only reinforced that.
  6. Yeah I knew it wasn't good, but I had no idea it was that bad.
  7. Yep. Lost out to his teammate in the WDC 3 of the last 4 years. Lewis seems a shell of what he was even 2 or 3 years ago imho. Yep. Alonso is still on it, hard, all the fucking time, getting the most out of the car, still great wheel to wheel, getting every possible point, etc. There's a reason the pundits gush so often over what he's doing in that AM.
  8. What's the universe's handle here? Anyone?
  9. Oh well. Hopefully Sark will also get the team ready for shitty opponents next year ...
  10. How the fuck did the stupid Raiders costume idiocy become a Georgia thing?
  11. Maybe Texas isn't. But if Texas isn't, BYU isn't even fucking close.
  12. Let it go. Ain't no way logic's gonna work on him. He's clearly immune to it.
