Ok. I'm betting US$100 Max will beat Hamilton on points for the WDC, straight up.

Too much talk already, let's put some money into it.

Any takers?

Just as an FYI, the oddsmakers have Hamilton as the favorite over Max so straight up betting, you have better odds.

No doubt Hamilton is an elite driver. Never disputed that. In the same vein I honestly cant believe, listening to some of the comments here, that Max is an average or poor driver. I really think that fanboism is driving that and it seriously degrades the level of discussion here.
Agreed, HAM and VER seem to be the best in F1 right now. Which one is better I truly don't know

All I know is that as a Ferrari guy they ruin a lot of my Sundays

I'd almost take that bet. But I'm concerned about Honda reliability and Perez coming up to speed stealing points away from Max. scHAM doesn't have a possible teammate problem as BOT is worthless.

But, putting some lettuce on the line is a great way to make people walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

Can someone create an Imola thread already

Le Clerc is up there or close for sure. He reminds me a lot of Fernando, able to extract a lot from the machinery. I like Carlos also and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds between the two of them for this season.

Great points. Perez vs Bottas is a non-contest. It could go either way AND I'm sure the oddsmakers figured that out too, hence Ham is the slight favorite over Max.

Mate please listen ,

•The HONDA reliability ?

The HONDA PU doesn't has reliability issues . Let us say : Nothing more than the top 3 teams .
Checo Perez his battery was replaced , by this something went wrong with the PU software (mapping) that's why the car stalled .
The issue was fixed from behind the pitwall , Checo was called over the onboard radio to re-boot the car and everything was just fine .

•Checo coming up to speed stealing points away from Max ?

Checo Perez got his Red Bull contract as the #2 driver.
If , I said "IF" Checo is fast enough , he will get orders to disturb the podium.
In other words : His task is building a Red Bull race strategy .
In other words : Checo has to try to finish in front of HAM .
In other words : Stealing driver points from HAM while MAX can run for the victory .

•BOT ?

I agree completely , BOT is worthless . Because the grandma never had the necessary racecraft .
He hasn't octane in his blood ...

•Can someone create an Imola thread already ?

Well here you go => https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1814583
But it seems like that "not everyone" is welcome in the Imola thread !

Off topic but what is Belgium's most popular export beer? Something I might be able to get here in the states. I'd love to celebrate scHAM's dethroning if Max pulls it off.

I never waste a chance to take a shot at your idol scHAM. No. I don't like him but it has nothing to do with the color of his skin. People are jumping to the conclusion that I'm racist which isn't true!

No one ever asked why I don't like scHAM. The truth is very simple. I don't like scHAM because in 2007 he almost beat "The Peoples Champ" to the title in a McLaren which was later excluded from the Constructors' Championship for cheating. IMHO scHAM doesn't fully back his chosen platform when it affects his performance or title efforts. I also don't approve of the way he handled the racism issue during the first part of 2020. Specifically calling for all drivers to kneel during the national of other countries. It's disrespectful! May I repeat IMHO!

Race baiting was and is not my intention! But since some members feel that way I won't bring it up again.

That said, Hamilton is a scam and you POGs are motarted
So if his color isn't an issue, why did you bring anything up. I'm a person of color who has spent, and kicked ass in places where I was the following:

Only 1 of 50 people in management in a national telecommunications company of over 3000. You have no idea of the crap I put up with, the invectives and the outright calling me the n-word. The one thing is this: No matter how much I was hated because of how I looked, their grudging respect was always given because of my work ethic and the way I drive revenue. Everyone loves a golden goose. 12 years in the company. Started in entry-level sales and made it to national VP in 7 years.

3 of 55 people as a frontline management people in a biotech company. Always polite. But I was paid less in base salary but that didn't matter because I drive revenue and always killed on bonus and my people killed on bonus because I drive the FK out of revenue.

Only one of 35 on a contract management team. See above.

I know what it's like to walk into a room and it goes silent. I know what it is like to have someone say, "you're so well spoken...its different and refreshing". Because I'm corporate polite I said, Thank you but I was always thinking, "You s4it kicking hillbilly, I've been traveling internationally since I was 14 and we have, in my immediate family 17 degrees among 5 people. Why am I even talking to you, idiot." But I'm older now and more reserved.

Fortunately, I've arrived at a place in my life where I call out racist behavior when I see it because I just about have FU money and dgaf about what people think unless I have affinity for them, without respect to color.

What you said and the way you put it was racist. YOU may not be, but what you said was.

Glad you cleaned it up but please do better in the future.

That's only because he scraped through to a win as Max was stuffed by the stewards.
