Season 2 does nothing to dispel the theory that RIC has the personality of a 12 year old and the driving to match.
One of those 12 year olds that performs overtakes in places generally considered to be impossible?Assuming you're not 12.. would you say his driving is worse than your own on the basis of your assessment of it?

I think his personality is great, can't think of a current driver I'd rather hang out with more if I got the chance.I think he's an average F1 driver though.

Ah deuce, like most of the drivel you post, assumption is everything.Assuming you're not 12.. would you say his driving is worse than your own on the basis of your assessment of it?
On the basis that I’ve never gone head to head against RIC in equal machinery, I’m feeling confident and say he’s worse. It would be nice to find out mind you.
However, an assessment against his peers may prove more fruitful, the same way most people asses skill. You do understand that you don’t have to be able to better someone to be able to give verdict on their skill don’t you?
Only last week most people called out Deontay Wilder as the one trick pony poor world champion he was. I suspect quite a number of them wouldn’t last 5 minutes in the ring with him but there you go.
Understand?

William Storey. A total chancer. And utterly full of s

I’m only up to the mercedes episode but bizarrely he comes out of this looking alright so far, artistic license?t. Still won't do him any good, it's not as if the drink he hyped is available to buy..

The mayhem that went on with him on Twitter (and with Whyte Bikes). An absolute goon. It’s not like Netflix to shy away from controversy, I can only think it was written the way it’s shown (again so far, I’m only half way through) to increase the narrative of Haas’ jeopardy at that part of the season.

I understand. But I still think you overreached your own level of reason when you compared DR's driving to that of a 12 year old. Even a sOn the basis that I’ve never gone head to head against RIC in equal machinery, I’m feeling confident and say he’s worse. It would be nice to find out mind you.

t F1 driver has the reactions of an 18 year old and the judgement of a 30 year old.. otherwise they don't get to F1.Just for clarification... Are you really saying that in a single seater, same car, you think you would beat DR? If so, I won't argue the point.
Or are you claiming a right to speculate even though you can't do the job yourself? - I've been called out several times for that sort of behaviour, by... Someone..

Toto comes out of it head and shoulders above the other Team Principles. Totally driven yet still personable and never criticises the drivers in a public forum, and it seems he can speak atleast 3 languages fluently.
Poor form from Horner the way he was mocking Gasly IMO.
Compare Toto and his methods to the others... He's motivated a winning team that personally want to win. An army that cares about the fight and takes pride in it. Just goes to show how much people give when you take your foot off them and lift them up. Ferrari should watch this series.Poor form from Horner the way he was mocking Gasly IMO.
Clare Williams asking how could it happen that they missed the start of testing after they'd already missed it.
I'd suggest asking those questions a month before and keep asking them, she seems totally disconnected from reality. Like a silent partner that's suddenly found themselves running the show.
Her only saving grace is that they'd paid Paddy Lowe what I presume was a shed load of money to deliver the car and he failed.
Complete failure in leadership and management.

All the more strange they (almost) played him to be the sensible one in the sorry affair, no?

It is a bit odd - it could be that they just didn't want to get involved with the off-the-track stuff and give the idiot yet more airtime.

t - the idea that it was a somehow healthy energy drink because it uses 'mineral water' rather than being full of awful stuff like all of them). I mean for f
ks sake. His accounts are late, the racing team company was dissolved in January. The whole thing smells like a weird scam and he's moved onto bike racing now. I can't see that ending well either.Lots of pressure on Gasly from the pit radio, Horner mocking him was a bit off he knows how to drive but clearly he feels better in the Toro Rosso than the RB car (and the RB team)
I think season one was a better series than this it seemed to go in to more depth with the drivers covered and showed the human side of the spectacle, (Grosjean's battle with himself as an example) the new one feels like the teams/drivers are now more aware and ready for the cameras, the first one felt more "real" to me.
Gunter was a star of the show again but the show lacked things like the "rock star" moment of S1 plus the constant needle between irritable and Horner...that was great to watch.

I've not read the thread (in case of spoilers...) but having watched three episodes, I now know what the "F" in F1 stands for!
Yes, I do wonder why they have to quite so sweary in what should be a completely professional environment......Dani Ric bucking the F-trend though... I was still laughing after the intro had finished

Albon's mum jailed for fraud back in 2012, never knew that. Wonder how much of it paid for his career.
I had no idea about this either, he did come across very well in that episode - Had me rooting for him despite having an "interesting" mother.Albon's mum jailed for fraud back in 2012, never knew that. Wonder how much of it paid for his career.
