I’ve kept my opinion on the Hamilton Verstappen thing to myself this week but the more it goes on, the more I’m frustrated by it. And now I have realized why.
It was Verstappen’s fault that he ended up under the tyres. It seems to me that no one commenting on it in official circles seemed to watch the two third’s of the lap leading up to it. Vertsappen was making some darn ordinary blocks on Wellington straight, Lewis was up with him and moved away to fight another day. Out of Luffield, Lewis had the beans to get alongside Verstappen and got driven into the old pit wall. Remember when Schumacher did it in Hungary to Barrichello and the world nearly exploded? That was fucked up and dangerous. Regardless of it being first lap or not, Verstappen made it clear he was up for the fight. Move along 00.00098 of a second and there;’s Lewis still on his line. He made one move as opposed to Verstappen’s three. One move and a car space is the norm. For Verstappen though? Nah, three’ll fucking do. Oh bummer, there’s a car still there? I thought I pushed that ma’fucker into the fence. And now I’m under the tyres in pieces but thank fuck my radio still works so I can get Christian to speak to Michael to radio back to Helmut to speak to Adrian to distract Toto while I have a fucking whine about being a shit racer and cutting across the front of the faster car. When shit like that goes down, I pretend I don’t know who is in what car and I make an assumption on who was right or wrong without having any feeling in it. Even in a video game, that was the car on the outside making a race-ending move.
It wasn’t until today that I realised that I have a little emotion behind it because I absolutely hate Red Bull Racing in F1. Early days after the Jaguar takeover were pretty cool and seeing them get momentum was great for the sport. Vettel’s 2010 championship was a pretty flash result and a really good season of racing. Webber’s chance at that championship blew out when he binned it in Korea so that blew the points wide open for all. The next couple of years were fun too but 2013 when Pirelli changed their tyre design to change wear patterns and it affected Red Bull’s dominance as their car didn’t suit it. They had a massive fucking cry and had the tyres changed back to what they were and we got the same results as previously seen. During all of these winning years, we had Helmut Marko ranting every chance he got. Who in the actual what the fuck is he? Why does he get any media? He’s a fucking straight-up clone of Hitler! I cannot stand that dickhead and is stupidly unrealistic opinions. He’s an arsehat. Christian Horner? Seems like he runs a pretty good ship but also spews some pretty dumb shit when the heat is on. I do like his idea that F1 needs high revving loud engines again though, that’s the truth.
All this shit talking about Hamilton being lucky to be in the fastest car is such uneducated junk. The people saying that are the one’s who only read the headlines and don’t actually watch the 300km race. Ten second penalty and you still win? That’s amazing. Closing in on 100 wins? Best ever. I’m so glad he signed on for a few more years as I hope he fucking schools Red Bull and that dopey little twerp Verstappen. I’m the guy that likes to see the quickest guy on the day win and typically F1 does that. It’s often a snoozefest but I keep on watching.
Thanks for reading to the end and either agreeing a little or shaking your head thinking “this cunt’s fucked in the head”.
