What i am realising, is that the fight from being near the bottom is probably more fun than actually being at the pinnacle.

I watch the Williams Carlos Sainz videos, and you can see it forming there, the joy of 3rd and the plans of an upward trajectory.

While Mclaren is sniping and infighting.

But I'm a Wycombe Wanderers fan so never used to following a dominant team!
Speaking of Sainz, I haven't seen the journalists giving him any masterclass driving praise for bringing an actual crap car to the podium two times starting from the back.

Just a short reminder, no matter the Sunday result...this team, with better and less ok, is the world champion for the second time in a row. That needs to be appreciated. =D> and maybe next year the strategy team will be at the level of the engineering and design team. :roll:

Sainz is spanish, it is not helping for praise - except in Spain were they over praise :D -
But yes he is an underrated driver.
He is slow to adapt to a new team and car (But when you see Ham...) but then he delivers.
At Mclaren, Ferrari and now Williams he was always solid, and finally at Toro Rosso back then he was not ridiculous compare to VER
