He used to be a very good duelist who could take very good trades and be played as an M1 sidelaner like wraith.
Not anymore though, right now he's only really played as an early lane bully with items like mystic vulnerability and headhunter. You have to be extremely aggro with good aim then play around team in the mid game until you get enough money for key T4 items like ricochet

Jesus, talk about a megalophobia inducing scene

To be expected, anyone who thought their season would be any different was lying to themselves. In any case it could be worse, at least they are not Aston Martin

I swore never to use uber eats after a run in with their customer service. It's wild that drivers get less when they have extortionate delivery fees for the customer.
Blackdeath_663
Yeah but unfortunately you need an educated population that doesn't have a single digit iq average

I can get used to hearing the Italian anthem on the podium. The German one however remains ever present
Blackdeath_663
Omg Red Bull are only 7 points behind McLaren?
Blackdeath_663
Oh brother... No way you're doing this. I salute you
Blackdeath_663
What a dogshit car that Aston Martin is

I've always been a fan of Russell and still rate him, i know it's been rough this year and out of his hands on occasion but the rest of the time he wasn't on the pace either. you can't make excuses for that.
Since the summer break his mentality has been much better and he's back to his old self it does look like he's had time with a sports psychologist, He'll be fine. Too many fans have parasocial feelings about drivers. Objectively he's been in bad form this year.
Blackdeath_663
yeah the other races still happen. race wins are still prestigious and the other drivers are still fighting for point in the WDC even though people don't care as much. some driver will be fighting to keep their seats if they haven't signed a contract for next year
More importantly though prize money is given out to teams depending on the position in the constructors standing and the difference between one place could be millions. for this reason especially in the midfield the rivalry between teams can get intense.
Blackdeath_663
he was good sure, best? absolutely not.

Countries restrict imports so as to not cannibalise their own industry, this has always been a thing. Many countries across the world are hurting because they can't catch up. Lost jobs and economy to Chinese competitors.

Russell was being vilified for years weirdly this year is the only time people support him because they want to hate Merc
Blackdeath_663
it happens with new regs. These cars are all that kimi knows, he might have a similar downfall when the engines change. 4 time WDC seb vettel had a bigger fall from grace in 2014.
George is still a good driver
Blackdeath_663
no, the reason tomorrow's race has become interesting is because 2nd in the championship George Russell is down in 6th. if he has a poor race or runs into trouble and kimi wins it you could be seeing the championship decider.
A battle between kimi and max would be nice but at this point in the year it's all about the championship and it's close in the midfield too
Blackdeath_663
COTA is a great track and the championship is on the line for real.
Blackdeath_663
that RBR cap looks sweet
Blackdeath_663
First time?
Blackdeath_663
Turn 1 COTA is a death trap in the midfield and Russell has history. He runs a real risk of getting caught up in an incident being that far back
Blackdeath_663
bwahahahaha, kimi might actually win it tomorrow holy sheit
Blackdeath_663
Russell is so cooked
Blackdeath_663
Russell really needs to be on the front two rows
Blackdeath_663
there's my free practice champions, Ferrari on top
Standard has wider rank range and ppl can match with friends who are different ranks. It's very lopsided more often than not.
I would also prefer that it doesn't put me in lane against a duo when queuing solo but alas it is what it is
