@Rory_Talks_Ball Hi Rory, I have no horse in this race whatsoever as I’m a Fulham fan - but this happened in our game vs West Ham in March. I’m in agreement that it should be a penalty however it’s clear that the Premier League doesn’t see it that way. Identical incidents.
@DeltaData_ Leclerc was barely able to complete turn 12. He gained a huge advantage by cutting turn 15 because if he hadn’t, he likely would’ve DNF’d. There’s no way his car was completing that sharp right hand turn. Remember driver error isn’t a luck based correction when doing your H2H.
@MarcusBridgland So conflicted about these regulations - the battle between Charles and Lewis was cinema and so was the Haas/Alpine 4-way scrap but it’s so hard to tell how much of it is organic and how much is just mario mushrooms. I do think the race today was a better spectacle than last year
@fiagirly found it pretty frustrating watching Charles sit behind in P3, biding his time rather than putting George under any pressure in those first few laps. Could’ve been a team 1 & 3 but seemed to me he cared more about making sure Lewis tanked his tyres
@formularacers_ Leclerc sat behind in 3rd refusing to attack George when Lewis was fighting at the front. Could’ve led to a 1 & 3 if he’d put Russell under any sort of pressure all those times he was trailing Lewis. Instead chose to make sure he finished ahead of his teammate.
@Fauwkz roster who are currently most successful MR team itw (1st and 2nd at LAN) who added world class duelist and did poorly in a tournament they played on 150 ping when they hadnt scrimmed in 4 months so had no idea of meta
@MarcusBridgland I’m just not here for a season of George Russell winning every single session. Mercedes have built a nuclear engine and they have a clear #1 driver, recipe for disaster
@KevinCole___@Unexpected_Pts So just to be clear… the 6-5 Panthers, who swept the 3-7 Falcons this season, are seven whole power ranking spots worse than them?
@MarcusBridgland It's a difficult one. In a world where transfer prices aren't a thing, nobody is looking at Wirtz and thinking "this guy is the problem". His performances have been okay - but when you're the most talked about signing in the world, 'okay' probably paints a target on your back
@MarcusBridgland Think part of the hate against him is because when he signed he was hyped as somebody who’d transcend your football and push you to the league at a canter. People know how good Isak can be so it’s hard to call him a flop when they know what he can do when he inevitably hits form
@Fauwkz I was gonna wait “till the tournaments over” but NA aren’t coming back from the dead.
EMEA still on top.
Might want to work on that talent identification if you ever want to make it to a LAN, coach 🫡
@MarcusBridgland He is the most serial bottler I’ve ever seen. Starts on pole? Bins it in the first lap. Teammate crashes out with a free pole/2nd? Bins it. Crazy. I think Piastri deserves it at this point
