Max Verstappen wins the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix

Not as exciting as I had hoped, but still a decent race.

I don’t see Red Bull stoping at just 12 consecutive wins, it’s going to be a season for the record books.

I genuinely could see them winning every remaining race. They’re rapid in race trim and it’s not even close.
- In the hands of Verstappen yes, with Perez not a guarantee
Yes we’ve had 12 Max wins, but what about 13?

Congrats again but is anyone else getting bored of this? Putting me off the sport to be frank

In terms of race wins, yeah it would be nice to see some variety. But if you ignore what's going on with Max, it's still exciting to watch the rest of the field changing round race after race. AM, Merc, Ferrari and now McLaren keeping us guessing who else is going to be on the podium, and Checo being a bit of a wildcard keeps the races interesting at least.
- I get your point but it's a bit difficult to ignore the most significant position in a race especially seeing how significant of an event it was that someone other than Verstappen picked up pole in qualifying yesterday
As someone who has sat though years of Mercedes domination I am happy for a change of leadership. The past three seasons have been more exciting in general as well. Get back to me when Resbull wins the 8th consecutive constructors in 2029.
- Yes, this.
  
  It was Lewis(2014), Lewis(2015), Nico(2016), Lewis(2017), Lewis(2018, Lewis(2019), Lewis (2020).
  
  WTC? Even more boring, merc all the way. With the wdc we at least had Nico once.
  
  And now people are moaning after 2 years? Come on, deal with it. It sounds more and more like chauvinistic bs if you look at the stats objectively.
The rest in f the field has been pretty mobile. McLaren coming up through the ranks. AM slipping down. Mercedes clawing out what they can. Ferrari Ferrari-ing. Plus Williams popping up out of nowhere. The overall, a pretty good season if you take out the front runners, which prob makes most seasons more interesting anyway
- It's definitely cool to see how dynamic P2 and below could be
I started watching during Merc dominance, so it’s nothing new. I’m more excited for the fight for P2 every race now. We’ve genuinely got 4.5 teams in contention for it every race, and it’s been incredibly competitive so far.

This is better than HAM VER BOT or VER HAM BOT every race
- Haha I'm curious who that ".5" is in your reply here
It honestly doesn't bother me. Formula 1 is just as much an engineering competition as it is a driving competition. This is just the nature of non-spec series.

Not to mention the fantastic competition behind RB.
First time huh?
- Well not really but thanks for the cheeky response I guess
Not at all. The fight for podium is pretty tense now that Mercedes and McLaren are more equal.
People who complained about Hamilton being too dominant!
I haven’t watched any of the last 4 of the Max Verstappen Invitational Races.

Fucking Nico throwing in a "you know, I too have 7 consecutive wins" in the interview lol

To be fair Max asked him what his record was.
- Max knows a lot of stats, he’s pretty good at those quizzes they play on the f1 YouTube channel. In the interview it looked like he already knew Nico’s record was 7 before he asked
Don’t forget he beat Lewis Hamilton in Equal Machinery too!
Sure, that he fought tooth and nail for. This is a whole other level of domination

Piastri with another solid race which for me, proves his quality. He has been on the pace immediately when given the upgrades and I have no doubt he can take a win either this season or next (assuming McLaren keep up the car development)

Does Lemmy have a spoiler tag or anything? If it doesn't we need one.

spoiler

It does
- Doesn't work on at least my mobile app.

If we’re not going to post spoiler warnings, I’m gonna need to block the entire community.

Just temporarily block the community whenever you haven't watched the race yet to avoid spoilers. Formuladank as well if you're subscribed there. That's what I did on Reddit and I do it here as well.
- Sounds like what I’ll do. The mods on Reddit were stubbornly against any spoiler warnings. Hoping we could have that here.

Sometimes it really seems like Max is playing a video game and everyone is in Race mode, but he's fucking doing "Time Trial"...

This man is fucking ridiculous, he’s gonna win every remaining race of the season

Need spoiler tags over there Mods at Lemmy.world

I see spoiler tags have been agreed.

Man. Guess just like Reddit I'll have to unsub from F1 communities to not get spoiled...

Can’t we just throw a NSFW tag on spoilers?! I’m with you! I just fired up Lemmy + Grand Prix and now I’m bummed! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
- I had a second reddit acct that wasn’t subbed to f1 and had it blocked on all to avoid spoilers when I couldn’t watch it right away. I’m gonna have to do the same here. I’d really like a rule about spoilers within 48 hours of the race….
- The mods here don’t care. It’s shitty.
- NSFW tag means anyone with NSFW disabled is excluded from the community entirely after races.
  
  I have nsfw disabled since I browse this account in public. I’m not going to enable it just for this sub. I’ve stopped using other subs that do the same thing because I can’t access any content anymore.

Absolutely dominant season from Max and Red Bull.

Max is honestly just practicing to overtake slower classes once he switches to endurance by now

He is inevitable

Man, this season is too boring. But it's not his fault. He is unstoppable and Red Bull is a step above everyone else. The fight between the other teams is cool though. Aston Martin dropped off a lot.

So bored with this man.

~~The Field Is Closing Up To Red Bull™~~

This was fairly boring for a pretty cool track.

All victories for RB until the end. No wonder why Domenicali is on favor to let in 4 to F1...

Holy shit he talked so much. 12 wins in a row does mean something!
