Formula 1...

See that French newspapers reporting that Kimi staying for 2021 and that Antonio being replaced by Mick Schumacher. 

 

Antonio had 2 seasons and could not light it up. Going to be great seeing Mick in F1, just for the hype!

 

2021 is shapping up to be 2010 all over again, Raikonen, Vetel, Alonso

LOL

 

 

At least hammy didn't win the Gp today

Heard he had a little moan though?

[WrightJnr]

Not the best of penalties to be honest. Sure was the teams fault but drivers do understand that they take the cuts for that by default. So understand he was grumpy but he really didn’t carry himself very well. Then he went on to say that “they are out to get him”. Stupidest thing I’ve heard in a long time.

 

I would have thrown a little hissy too, but I’m not on the brink of 100 pole positions and 100 race wins. He will go down as the best of the best so I expect nothing short of excellence from him at all times.

tbh it really is the teams fault and not his but him having A bad day is the only real entertainment value left

...and then there's always the difference in his and Ricciardo's reception of their penalties. 

 

"I'll just drive faster then. Sorry guys." 

 

Can it be that I'm starting to like an Aussie?

Joke:

 

Watched an older race rerun on Sunday evening, wife asks me...”why are the red cars so fast?”.

His penalty was 10 seconds and he ended 25 seconds behind Valteri and did not close up on Max. His personality is just hard to like.

Race Engineer at fault for telling the Hamster that he can do his Practice Starts towards the end of the pit wall.

 

2 Penalty Points rescinded for Lewis, Mercedes instead slammed with a fine:

I do think he was pointing finger at the new rules for pre/post race attire that is coming to stop those shirts being worn at the moment.......

Absolutely.

 

One must not confuse a dislike of his personality as somebody dismissing his talent. Talent which mostly sits in his skills signing and staying at Merc

Just imagine how he would complain if he had stayed at McLaren.

But you right, he may be a d00$ but he is one of the best drivers of the current grid and as a combo with merc he is the best(I don't think the best driver if they were all in the exact same car). I don't however think he is as good as some of the past generation drivers.

Same as Marquez, I can't stand him but he is pretty handy on a Honda.

Exactly, if Bottas can beat him in an equal car, then we know Vettel, Max, Leclerc, Norris, Kimi would beat him if they swopped cars. Edited September 29, 2020 by Patchelicious
