    Leclerc, Max and Lando are great drivers. Max and Leclerc will be the future of f1. Albon sucks, he's got zero chance against Max

    It would be so Spurs for them to win the lottery now. They haven't been in the lottery since they got Duncan.

    I believe max is better than albon, but he certainly doesn't suck, his race craft us very good, he just needs to figure out qualifying

    I dissagree, Albons lack of pace is not only in the qualifing, but shows a lot more during the race. Maybe it's unfair to compare him to Max because Max is a sensational Talent, but in f1 your first Opponent is your teammate. I belive Red Bull will kick him out at the end of the year

    The odds of that happening are astronomically low. The only thing less likely to happen would be the Suns winning 8 games in a row this season, or something like that. :mellow:

    The league can not have so many fucking games and back to backs that it's good strategy to rest players.

    Ironic that I only had us winning 3 games in the bubble but this was the game I was sure we'd win.

    Won't be able to sleep after all of this stress. That board by melo at the end was the sweetest all year.

    People said we had the tougher schedule. Pelicans were favored. Blazers 3.5 games behind with only 8 games to play. Go. Blazers.

    FWIW - Helmut Marko just confirmed that since Red Bull had an aero problem since the start of the year, the cars have not been identical with new parts to solve the problem appearing on Max's car first - so it seems that Alex is driving with a lesser car with known problem - which should explain some of the difference in performance between himself and Max.
