Great quali, another good drive to pole from Norris, Russell doing well as well, plenty struggling and I would rule out Ferrari doing well in the race, plenty can happen at the first few corners in Monza.

Red Bull, when the car isn’t perfect and a rocket ship at the front they really do struggle don’t they and they don’t seem to know how to fix it at the moment either. But at least Max has a strong No. 2 to help him in the race, oh hold on a minute scratch that…..


Should be fun tomorrow plenty still to play out.

there's no Max alongside Norris, so he'll have to give the first corner to Oscar, get accidentally pitted first, and give the win to Oscar after some tearful pleading.

True. And so is true that Hamilton and Russell beat your 3-time 'Max Factor' champ. Weird.

Currently Red Bull is the 4th team (A midfield team)

In all fairness, there's a lot left to this year and RBR could get their problem (s) sorted. But right now it ain't looking good.

But you don’t see the irony of dissing a driver that is beating your driver ?

RUS - P3
LEW - P6 (!)

Mate . Can you tell us why ?
Same reason Max is losing to Lewis and Rus too.

Upgrades don't work and the car is temperamental like Ferrari and Mercedes - works on some tracks better than others but in outright race pace, no one is close to McLaren.

That's right, still the races to perform and there may/will be engines and ancillaries to change with penalties.

I'm going to laugh at all the Max fans nonstop if he loses this season to Lando's mediocre self.

Lando isn't even a top 5 driver, and he's beating thr brakes of Max. It's pathetic everyone watching.

If he does beat him then it's not the end of the world, MAX's new '25 car will be better but I'm not thinking that far ahead right now.

But if Lando gets the WDC, he then also beats Hammy, your 'GOAT'....
That makes him what?
You're then the guy that laughs but doesn't really get it.

Just the champions club thing. Hopefully I can score some fancy tickets for the next. If not I’m still going next year especially as it is back to first race of the season.

Jeez I hope we have really signed Newey. Red Bull fans are upset with their car. Jeez. Ours is now getting beaten by Williams and Haas.

Still going to enjoy the race. I think we will get 1 point.

I also think Piastri gets ahead of Lando again on lap 1. Let the mayhem ensue. It will be a good one.
