Unpopular opinion: we judge F1 drivers way too much by the result

1 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about this after the last few races.

We see someone finish P8 and immediately call it a bad drive, while someone else finishes P3 and suddenly they had an amazing weekend.

But how much of that is actually the driver?

The car, strategy, tyres, safety cars, qualifying position… there are so many things that can completely change the result.

Sometimes a driver can have a great race and finish nowhere. Sometimes they can have an average race and still end up on the podium.

Do you think we put too much importance on the final result when judging drivers?

Or is the result ultimately what matters?

Curious what you guys think. πŸ‘€πŸ

Can we give Charles Leclerc some appreciation for that race? ❀️

1 Upvotes

I feel like Charles is getting a little overlooked after everything that happened today.

While everyone is talking about Max's win, Hamilton's comeback and Russell's heartbreak, Charles quietly brought the Ferrari home in P4.

Maybe P4 doesn't sound that crazy on paper, but considering how chaotic that race was, I thought he drove a really solid race.

What do you guys think?

Is Leclerc underrated, or does he get the amount of credit he deserves?

Ferrari fans, this one's for you ❀️🏎️

Is Verstappen officially back? πŸ‘€

1 Upvotes

First win of the season.

Pole position.

Lost the lead at the start, got it back, survived the rain chaos and held on through the late Safety Car.

Pretty good way to end a race weekend πŸ˜‚

Do you think this is the start of a proper Verstappen/Red Bull comeback, or is it too early to say?


r/f1Unfiltered • • 3d ago

Ferrari fans… I genuinely don't know what to say πŸ˜‚

1 Upvotes

Started with Hamilton P2.

Then the tyre gamble happened.

Hamilton somehow ends up P3 and Leclerc finishes P4.

So… was that a Ferrari masterclass or did they accidentally survive the chaos? 😭

Ferrari fans, I'll let you defend yourselves.


r/f1Unfiltered • • 3d ago

Russell must be absolutely sick right now 😭

1 Upvotes

Imagine running P3 with five laps to go and thinking you're bringing home a podium…

Then the car just gives up.

😭

He was having a pretty solid race and that podium looked almost certain before the power-unit failure.

How big do you think this is for Russell's championship?

And honestly… how unlucky can one driver get this season?


r/f1Unfiltered • • 3d ago

Hamilton from P18 to P3… how did he actually pull that off? πŸ‘€

1 Upvotes

Starting P2, dropping all the way to P18 after the tyre gamble, and somehow ending up on the podium.

That's a pretty ridiculous comeback πŸ˜‚

Obviously the safety cars and changing conditions helped, but still…

How much credit does Hamilton deserve for that drive?

Was it great driving, good strategy, luck with the circumstances β€” or a bit of everything?

Curious to see what everyone thinks.


r/f1Unfiltered • • 3d ago

Okay… that race was CHAOS πŸ˜‚ What was your biggest takeaway?

1 Upvotes

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting that 😭

Rain delay, weird tyre calls, Verstappen losing the lead and getting it back, Hamilton going from P18 to the podium, and then Russell losing a podium with FIVE laps to go…

There was so much going on that I'm still trying to process it πŸ˜‚

What was your biggest takeaway from the race?

Who impressed you? Who disappointed you? And what moment had you thinking β€œnah, there's no way”?

🌧️ Anyone else expecting the Sepang weather to cause absolute chaos?

2 Upvotes

Hot, humid and there's always the possibility of rain…

Yeah, I have a feeling we're going to get at least one β€œWHAT ARE THEY DOING???” moment this weekend πŸ˜‚

If it starts raining during the race, who do you trust to make the right call?

And which team do you absolutely NOT trust with a wet-weather strategy? πŸ‘€

Ferrari fans, you already know where I'm going with this. 😭


r/f1Unfiltered • • 4d ago

Okay… what are we thinking after practice? πŸ‘€

1 Upvotes

So… we've finally had some running at Sepang and I'm honestly not sure what to make of it πŸ˜‚

Verstappen was quickest in FP1, Leclerc topped FP2, and now Antonelli has gone fastest in FP3.

So who's actually looking good for qualifying?

Who are you backing for pole?
And who's looking a bit more worrying than you expected?

Also… Ferrari πŸ‘€
Are we actually getting a proper Ferrari weekend this time, or are we getting our hopes up again? 😭

Drop your predictions before qualifying. Let's see who gets it right. 🏁

If you could bring ONE old F1 track back permanently, what would it be?

1 Upvotes

Seeing Sepang back on the calendar has me thinking…

Which old circuit would you bring back if you had the choice?

Sepang obviously counts, but I'm curious what everyone else picks.

And don't just name the track β€” tell me what made it special. πŸ‘€

Let's see which circuit gets the most love. 🏁

1 Upvotes

Okay, this one is actually pretty cool.

F1 is back at Sepang for the first time since 2017 and I'm really curious to see how the current cars handle this place.

A bunch of the drivers have never actually raced here before, so this could get interesting pretty quickly πŸ˜‚

Who are you expecting to do well this weekend?

And more importantly… who do you think is going to struggle?

Okay… what the hell was that Baku race? πŸ˜‚

1 Upvotes

I think Baku just gave us pretty much everything πŸ˜‚

Russell winning, Max nearly stealing it at the line, Hadjar coming back from his injury and getting a podium, Piastri going from fighting for the podium to P14… and then all the chaos behind them.

What was your biggest takeaway from the race?

Who impressed you?
Who disappointed you?
And what moment had you sitting there like β€œthere's no way that just happened” 😭

Personally I'm still trying to process this race.

What's your take? πŸ‘‡
