I am guessing Disney stepped in and filed a trademark threat against the "Mickey" trophies, Pirelli took down all references from their website as well..

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc took the lead when exiting Turn 1 and never really gave up control of the race to take another brilliant win for Ferrari. Carlos Sainz got into second thanks to a great strategy call by Ferrari while Verstappen took third after Norris got a very dubious penalty.
You cannot really compare drivers that easily. Different eras, different teams, different competitors, different tracks etc. Some say Ayrton is. Others say Michael is. Behind each great driver there's an even greater teamwork. Let's not forget Daniel and Max were neck and neck. Does that make Daniel also the best driver to ever compete in F1? It's relative and depends on team mates as well. Having Albon as a team mate and destroying him just for Albon to go to a different team and owning every weak team mate he had afterwards doesn't mean Max is so good necessarily, but it clearly means his team mate wasn't great. Look at the rookie Colapinto now versus Albon, that will tell you all you need to know about the real competition Max had. If anything, a great team mate is the one who will show you which driver is actually great, not drivers driving for other teams. Not trying to be that guy, but Lewis did beat Fernando in his prime - and all that when Lewis was just a rookie. Fernando literally left the team because of it. And a lot of people say Fernando is the greatest. It's very confusing to me how people forget a rookie beat Fernando yet they still doubt the qualities of that driver. So yeah, Max is great. Is he the best driver? Impossible to know until he has real competition within his team. On track, he seems like he's really fast but also disrespectfully aggressive and helped by the stewards decisions. No other driver driving at the top had been so race ruining for other drivers in the past 10 years than Max, while also getting away with it. Just an unbiased opinion from someone who loves the sport, not a specific driver.RonMexico wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 22:56Verstappen is almost certainly the best driver to ever compete in Formula 1.

Verstappen is a great driver, but let's not deny the reality, he's disrespectful on track and stewards apply rules differently for him. It's a sad time for F1.

Yes and no because a track limit warning when you are alone in that corner is one thing and another thing when another car is alongside you and you going off track after you divebomb back taking them with you outside of said limits.
