The 8th! podium on a row for Verstappen. Talk about a comeback after the summer break...

Somehow I think he will try to get to the most racewins or at least get to equal race wins with Lando. To show he's the best.

What I think is quite interesting is the revival of Lawson. 7 points only of Hadjar, which is cheered on because he drives so well. Maybe, just maybe it has to do with the competition at redbull and that that car is only driveable by Max.

Great race. Didn't really get why Verstappen needed to pit again. Thought he could stay on the mediums and fight for the win or second place. Norris is going to become champion if nothing weird happens next race. Verstappen is within 1 racewin to become 2nd.

Glad with the Dutch elections. Only one parliament possible. Centre. Just go to work now. And make sure people totally forget those extreme right / populist parties.

Did 2 Monte Carlo simulations based on last 3 + last 6 races:

World Champion possibility chances with averages based on 3 races: Norris: 98,1%, Verstappen 1,8% and Piastri 0,1%.

Based on 6 races:
Norris: 50,7%, Verstappen 38,3%, Piastri 11%

Own estimate: Norris 50%, Verstappen 40%, Piastri 10%

Okay, so 4 races and 2 springs to go. We're up for a great season finale. Three contenders? Or still only two? I think it's between Norris & Verstappen now, but that's my opinion...chances are bigger for Norris now. I think McLaren also will choose for Norris within 2 races now.
Okay. This race will end probably
Something like this: Norris 1th, Verstappen 3d, Piastri 5th.

Standings after the race.
1. Norris: 357
2. Piastri: 356
3. Verstappen: 321

36 points for Verstappen to conquer, but then on Norris instead of a failing under pressure Piastri. Doable? Maybe.

If the US military are being paid their salaries by a private individual, we don’t have a national military anymore; rather, someone unknown has a rather well-equipped & -trained personal mercenary force.
If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

The tactic of McLaren should be: sacrifice a driver each race to crash into Verstappen to make sure the other driver will have enough points left to become World Champion? Bowling Bottas tactics?

For second place in the Constructors Championship I still think team Verstappen will end before Mercedes and Ferrari.
October 19, 2025 at 9:26 PM
This F1 championship is turning into a nice year after all. I think the last race is going to decide it, if Verstappen at least isn't going to win áll races from now while Piastri keeps fucking races up.

Dit is het Kamerlid van de PVV dat dus racistische AI afbeeldingen zit te maken en rond te pompen. Patrick Crijns. Onder de oppervlakte. Fantastisch werk van de Groene en Utrechtse data-onderzoekers. Wow. Lang leve de onderzoeksjournalistiek.

Which F1 team is going to be 2nd in the Constructors Championship? I think it's going to be either team Verstappen or Mercedes. Think 50% team Verstappen, 40% Mercedes, 10% Ferrari.

Simply lovely mate...

Even when he enters rally racing he will stin win I guess.
For anyone wondering, Verstappen pitted at the end of his stint 62 seconds ahead of his nearest challenger.
Max Verstappen started his latest Nurburgring endurance race in third.

By Turn 1, he's already P1.

Okay, apparently on 12 October there's another protest in my country the Netherlands...again it will turn out to be a violent right wing extremist shitshow. And who will get the blame? Mayor Halsema for sure. Together with Antifa.
September 27, 2025 at 4:47 AM
If Verstappen can win Singapore, a race the Red Bull normally underperforms, then I think he has a minor shot at the world championship this year.
