Eugene Oppelt Posted July 20, 2020 Author Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) A good race. Enjoyed that. Hamilton fan or not, you cannot deny his talent. In the damp, 10 laps in and had a 10 sec lead. That’s not just the car. The man can race, for sure.Being the only chocolate, now with Albon's caramel, gives greater context to his achievements. Edited July 20, 2020 by 'Dale

IceCreamMan Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Pretty cool race with overtaking happening which is a vast improvement on the old days in Hungary where it was just one long procession. 44 is a talented driver and in the best car...i am hoping Bottas offers some resistance in the coming races or else its number 7 and i would like to see him have to work a bit harder for it ...the great shumie worked much harder for his 7 i reckon.

As did Vettel for his 4, IIRC. But yeah, much better racing in general at the moment, apart from the Mercs just dominating. Norris with another last-lap overtake, and Le Clerc & Norris showing what real racing is with some brilliant driving. IMO the le clerc incident last week should also have been attributed to Vettel. He was in the middle of the track, left a gap wiiiiiide open and then turned into the apex as if he had nobody else around him. Yes, Le Clerc should have waited, but IMO the gap was there and by the time Vettel had turned in, Le Clerc was already there. But then that's why it's a racing incident instead of a penalty.

Oh, no, wait... Working in Potch' a few seasons ago, on a training camp with a cricket team, driving back to my hotel reflecting on the day's results, someone at a traffic light shouted and disturbed my peace with *jou kaff*r*. I was stunned as I felt it was so 80s. Oh, no wait....

I was stunned as I felt it was so 80s. Oh, no wait.... What gets me is that even growing up in the 70's and 80's where segregation was very real, we were never allowed to use that word. In fact, we weren't even allowed to settle sibling disputes with "Eeny Meeny Miny Mo, because it had a bad word in the rhyme. And those hard black round sweets were Liquorice Balls. Nothing else. I get very uncomfortable when I hear someone using the K-word. Hell I can't even refer to the lucky bean tree in my garden by its nickname. Anyway, back to F1 - does anyone honestly think Vettel would consider going to Aston Martin? Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
IceCreamMan Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Anyway, back to F1 - does anyone honestly think Vettel would consider going to Aston Martin? I think Vettel still sees his future in the sport so i think he would go wherever he gets an opportunity be it Aston Martin. He just needs a kick in the bottom to wake up and get motivated. To be fair he seems to have woken up a bit...had a good race yesterday considering and last week was on a bit of a roll before being taken out ..

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Why not, it has a Merc engine in it........ @Myles, in response to your question, yes I had to ask the question.Sias answered it perfectly though so no worries in answering it

Losing a bit of cash is least of his worries. Upsetting the son will probably upset his wife. Makes xmas awkward...... Long Wheel Base 1

LOL - I once got told by a mate of mines Father that when starting to date and you want to take a girl out, you need to impress her Mother so much, that if you asked her Mother on a date, she would consider going. Because if her Mother is happy with you, then her Father will still be able to get lucky. But if the Mother doesn't like you, the Father isn't getting any, and then he's really going to hate you....

Thats where it gets interesting assuming Vettel is given the drive and often conjecture is on the money. Assuming Vettel is offered the drive, it raises the brand awareness and Stroll is a 25% shareholder and chairman. I think his business thinking would relegate his son for a season or loan him to another team and replace the canadian there. Stroll had a strong drive yesterday and is holding his own recently i think. Perez has the money though Pure Savage 1
