I've been enjoying McLarens pace this year. It is nice to see a little bit of variety.
Part of the reason I've sort of become disinterested in F1 over the last handful of years is because the races have jut become somewhat predictable.
That's not to say that this season is not shaping up to be predictable, but I'm just glad it is someone else hah.

Silverstone classic this weekend !
Could be a British McLaren victory with some battle from Ferrari, and lets hope Max makes a few laps this time without crashing. Dont think he will go to Mercedes under T Wolff as Wolff supervised some of the worst cars in F1 history with the Hamilton "bouncing betty". Not a better car imo.
Not a fan of arrogant Max but if he can chase the leaders it will make for a better race.

Next year everything is changed for F1, the last time that happened Mercedes blew away the other teams until they caught up a year or two later. That's Toto's pitch to Verstappen now.....'we have a better handle on the new specs than anyone else, join us and be a winner again'. RB will not be competitive next year, if Max is going to make a move now is the time.

Worst cars in F1 history? Hamilton may have complained like they were but they were not even close. There are teams out here that never even qualified to race. Life F1 comes to mind.

Hopefully in true Silberpfeil colours again but it will be a gamble for all teams like last time around with the stance and floor boards. For that reason i prefer standard chassis and bodywork delivery so it just is the aero and engine to fiddle with, could save on costs as well.
Love to see Williams back at it as well and have 4 or 5 teams battle it out, please not another 7 title streak.

Depends on how you define "worst"

Going by results the Brabham 46B couldn't be considered a bad car as it won all it's races........the trouble was it ran only one race.
The fact that there was only one race was due to the political shit storm the design stirred up, not that the design didn't work.
In fact it could be argued that it worked too well!

Small rear wing for straight-line speed yet he still manages to get it through the corners.

Oscar knows better, 60psi slowed the car by 100mph! Even Nico mentioned the ripple effect downstream.

He’ll learn from it and improve ….he has proven to be the better MCL driver.

Is he not very good at swearing then???? Perhaps I can offer my services to train him in swearing more effectively is I have some considerable expertise in the practice!

Kevin Magnussen being Nico Hulkenberg's lucky charm...

I thought that was him when they flashed to the pit for a fraction of a second.

I like how the paddock was scared for their life when Kmag came back from his suspension and no seat the next year. Kmag could've pulled a Sonny Hayes plan C chaos if he wanted to.
