Different driving styles and luck. Russell isn't doing 'well'. He's just getting a better rub of the green than Hamilton did. Both missed out on top 10 because of red flags. DRS was not enabled for 30+ laps. Imola is traditionally a difficult circuit to overtake on. Russell benefitted from the Ricciardo / Sainz collision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 53 minutes ago, wykikitoon said: What's your opinions on Russell? Incredibly talented driver and hugely underrated. Casual observers easily gloss over the job he did at Williams - leading the team from the age of 21 from the back of the grid to regular Q2 appearances and even the odd Q3. His qualifying in Spa last year was sublime and only bettered by Verstappen - and that was only by 3 tenths of a second over a 2 minute lap. People ridicule his podium at that event because of the farcical way in which the race was conducted, but the reality was he was on merit, the 2nd fastest driver on the Saturday in arguably the 9th best car on the grid. He reminds me of when Alonso burst onto the scene with Minardi, and Senna at Toleman. Getting decent performance out of a very shit car. He will be challenging for race wins and championships when Mercedes sort their package out. And Norris will be up there too - he's an unbelievable talent, that one. Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell, Norris & Gasly are going to be the mainstays at the front for a number of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get his hate. I am looking forward to seeing what he can do. Hates Russell? I assume it's just a personal thing as he's highly regarded across the paddock and within the informed media. He did exhibit a bit of self-love a couple of years ago by posting shirtless images of himself on his social media but the likes of Norris & Ricciardo took the piss so much he stopped doing it Don't base too much opinion on what you've seen on DTS - that is pure scripted pantomime stuff. Verstappen was right when he said they invented a dislike between the McLaren drivers. It was purely to suit the narrative of the episode, the pair of them are really good mates.

You mean driving the advances of hybrid technology - which they've been doing for 9 years now, introduce a series devoid of an ICU - also been in place for 9 years, and have a roadmap to be Net Carbon Zero - on schedule to be achieved by 2030. Don't ever recall overtaking being 'outlawed'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 298 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Yeah Im just *trying* to be funny.

Then your issue is with the global climate agenda rather than anything specifically to do with F1. Personally I've never understood why they favoured hybrid / electric technology over hydrogen cell. But again, that's a mandate that's been set at a much higher level than motorsport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
