You are all overreacting.
Under normal circumstances for dozens of laps Latifi had enough pace to stay ahead of GR.
GR is overall better, but latifi has improved a lot and they are pretty much even on race pace. GR is just slightly better in the race.

As for th Glock thing in 2008. No comment from me there. If you pay attention to the details Glock should have pitstop and did not. So there was no way he would have finished ahead of Hamilton. Woulda coulda shoulda. Hamilton could have been rookie champion in 2007 without a gearbox glitch in final race Brazil. That's just racing. I do suspect the FIA had a role to play with that glitch. It would make a good conspiracy.

LH doesnt care who his teammate is. GR will be more to think about yes. But as soon as LH realizes GR is not a threat. George will become the next Bottas or Rosberg.
I guess beaching it in the China pitlane didn't lose that WDC?? Just a made-up "glitch" from nefarious sources did?... :wtf:
That's called selective blindness. You only focus on things that straight away add up to your argument.
MY argument?!?!?

He blamed the FIA for the glitch as a conspiracy theory for the loss instead of the ACTUAL f* up of the driver that COST him the 10 points of a win that would have made him the Champion.

The same can be said about Sebastian crashing out in Australia 2009, when settling for 3rd behind Kubica would have made him WDC that year as well...

Sorry for the mix up!

Just like Timo Glock's last minute issue handed the title to Hamilton in 2008, without earning it on merit!
You don't seem to understand the difference between benefiting from someone else's in race issue, and benefitting from the governing bodies as* covering .....

It's an IG filter that overlays the content, making it more pretty

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

F1 jewel Russell goes to Mercedes

According to SPORT1 information, the spectacular move from top youngster George Russell to Mercedes has been decided. Valtteri Bottas' team is also clear.

The fog in the Formula 1 transfer market is clearing. SPORT1 knows: Mercedes junior George Russell will definitely be teammate of Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes in 2022!

At the same time, one thing is certain: Valtteri Bottas, still a Mercedes driver, will switch to Alfa Romeo as the successor to Kimi Räikkönen next year.
The Finnish legend is finally retiring.

Yes he was handed a podium without driving for it. He still got outscored by Latifi in racing.
He earned that second place by qualifying 2nd.

Latiffi did not out race Russell in Austria. He was lucky as the start to end up where he did and then Russell got screwed at the restart by where his pit box was. Put this another way, discounting the pit lane mix up, Lattifi lost more places than George did during the race.

By your logic Latiffi is a better driver than Verstappen, Ricciardo and Raikonnen, because he beat him too despite being in a Williams. Wow, this Latiffi, must be the next Senna!!

Come on. No-one serious actually believes Latiffi is better than Russell, or has out raced him.
Austria? Don't you mean Hungary?

And then it turns out the 2022 Mercedes is a tourbus, and the 2022 Williams is actually the car to beat :lol:
