@DonBlanko See this is where my sympathy lies with Mick a little bit, although I think he'd never be on pole unless he had the car to do it, he had to sort of overdrove the Haas this year and I think this is why he smashed it to bits in Saudi, got squirrelly in the chicane, hopped the kerb and it was over in a blink of an eye, but he was massively fast at that point, easily Q3 appearance if I remember, but because Haas never bothered to rebuild a new chassis overnight (think there's still curfew as well perhaps that played into the decision), we never saw what Mick could've done in the race.
Monaco was a weird one, he tickled the throttle and it snapped on him, when I watched the onboard I thought the suspension broke suddenly causing the crash, but it was just a sudden loss of traction on the wet stuff.
Guenther and Gene were just so well... how can I put it politely? Gaslighting maybe, there are a lot of upset and angry Mick fans this weekend. What if Jose Capito finds out Logan Sargent doesn't finish in the top 5 or is it 6 for the SL points and has to go with another option... could Mick have a slim chance of filling that seat with Williams? Realistically though I think a year out potentially with Mercedes as a reserve and maybe Audi pulls some strings and signs Mick for 2024 maybe, he won't be in Ferrari anymore which I find upsetting, but it is what it is.
One lap pace in the second half, Mick has outdone Magnussen 3 times out of 10 at the moment. I looked back at the spreadsheet I made an error on Canada, when corrected, on average Mick was in fact only 3 tenths on average off Kevin. Are there other drivers that have a smaller average.
I knew at some point Hulkenberg was gonna return, but I didn't think it be at the expense of Mick.

I have found an interesting comparison between Magnussen and Schumacher. This makes me feel, that I wasn't wrong with my impression, that Schumacher was the quicker Racer overall. (look at the chart on the right) Especially in the second half of the season. But built your own opinion.
But for me Schumacher was at least as quick as Magnussen and has even in his second season the same potential like magnussen. I am very sure he could have been succesful in his 3rd season. Sadly we won't see it.

But what they can’t have as they are one off the lower teams. Is wasting development budget rebuilding cars. I’m not surprised they went for hulk instead off stay with Schumi. His experience should help development and he will finish races.
