as a Chelsea fan this has been the best week ive had in a while.
ALL of my opps have suffered with 4/5 of them losing and United despite drawing still played like shit
Liverpool and Arsenal title hopes SEVERELY dampened and then proceeded to get bopped out of their European competitions 😭🤣 (Liverpool not but 3-0 down AWAY tomorrow, tough) .
City got eliminated and Bayern my Champs League predicted winners are through.
AND Chelsea won 6-0 to close the gap to United to 3 points and Cole Palmer got a hatty. I am so UP!
im going to rant about carlos sainz and charles leclerc and lewis hamilton for a second and this is all in regards to ferarri and recent achievements (or lack thereof) of certain drivers.
firstly i do want to say that carlos is a good driver. i think he’s hitting his prime right now and is arguably the hottest prospect in the drivers market for next year. but. i think charles has a higher ceiling and higher prime.
yes carlos outperformed charles in bahrain and australia and in regards to aus there wasn’t massive issues w charles car unlike in bahrain. but in bahrain with a massive brake issue charles still wrestled that car into p4 right behind carlos.
the point is, carlos and charles are pretty evenly matched but statistically more times than not charles does seem to outperform the spaniard. they’re both very good at the end of the day and ferarri made the decision they did and carlos rightfully so is putting up the performances of his life cuz he’s fighting for a seat! either way that car is very good and i think if circumstances allow we might see another ferarri win (hopefully charles this time).
speaking of which, im glad that ferarri car is good because whatever mercedes got going on does not look too hot. im not going to damn mercedes right now because that’s a story for another day.
on lewis. there has been annoying takes on him recently. don’t let the last 3 races allow u to forget that he was 1) p3 in the drivers championship last year, ahead of BOTH ferarris, and mclarens who had finished the year off pretty strong, and 2) was the main reason that mercedes finished p2 just mere points ahead of ferarri in the constructors.
i saw a podcast say that if u took a sample size of lewis’s career in the last 4-5 years it wouldn’t be as impressive and that is such a bs take bc he has quite literally won 2 (3) WDC’s since 2019 and yes, since 2022 he hasn’t won a race and that is troubling but the machinery that mercedes has produced hasn’t been that great. george did win in 2022 but 1 win in over 2 years isn’t a good look on mercedes.
let’s not act like a 7 time world champion, who has a 103 wins under his belt, if given that ferarri wouldn’t win more and be fighting for the championship. let’s not do this recency bias thing.
is carlos sainz a good driver? yes. will he be at the top of the drivers market for 2025? yes. will ferarri lose sleep over not having him anymore ? no. they have lewis fucking hamilton now.
next year will be exciting and im curious to see where carlos goes and how lewis will perform with a capable car finally ( and if ferarri are successful in poaching adrian newey hehe )
max finally dnf’s when charlie isnt in the front row like im sick. but congrats to carlos. man’s was in a hospital bed like 2 weeks ago lmfaoooo. now he’s a race winner.
we was all laughing at max dnfing, just for his soul tie, partner in crime, trauma bonded lover to dnf a few laps later. mercedes…when i catch you it will not be good for you. lewis bookie im so sorry. he sounds so over it, never seen him this deflated and dejected so soon 😭
63 crashed out in the last lap and it was kind of a scary crash bc he was in the middle of the track sideways. glad he’s okay but he sound so scared in his onboard. alonso got a 20 second penalty bc he was driving weird in front of george (it was something like that but i cannot remember right now lool) but alonso is always at the scene of the crime im tired 😭😭😭
williams made a big fuss about points this weekend and stripped logan of his car to get more points with alex, all to end up with nothing. nada. zilch. ZERO!
3 dnfs and y’all couldn’t even get like 1 point. karma’s a bitch ain’t it.
sazuka will not be fun for team LH because that car looks dogshit but we move 🏁
at least the ferarri looks good so we know he’ll be in a capable car next year
lewis to ferarri cannot come quick enough. this mercedes team is NOT serious. not only is lewis having a shit time, george isn’t exactly blowing him away either. there was I think .05 tenths between the two in Q2 (I could be wrong but it was a very very small margin).
this is actually so unacceptable for a team that has been claiming for 3 years now to have improved this fuckass car. AINT SHIT CHANGED!
im so glad he’s noticed the writing on the walls and left because number 8 was never going to come with mercedes
no but like srs question where is carlos gonna go. losing ur job to Lewis Hamilton…nothing u can really do abt that he IS formula one but bestie? where ya heading??
sergio ramos is one of my fav defenders ever simply because he’s an unreal person. i do watch compilations of his red cards to get a chuckle sometimes i won’t lie 😭😭
