Why is it called the Eifel GP?

 

Eifelrennen - Wikipedia

 

"The Eifelrennen was an annual motor race, organised by ADAC Automobile Club from 1922 to 2003, held in Germany's Eifel mountain region even before the Nürburgring was built there."

 

What is the F1 Eifel Grand Prix? - F1 - Autosport

 

"While there was no German GP initially on this year's calendar, following Hockenheim's omission for 2020, the Nurburgring's stand-in race has been named after the area the circuit is located in, while also giving a nod to the wider region as the Eifel mountains stretch across Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg."

Interesting video on YouTube where Porsche took the 919 LMP1 car when it retired from competition and removed all the LMP1 limitations (engine restrictions, aero, weight) and then ran it at Spa.

 

It broke Hamilton's lap record.

I saw that. Was good to watch. But then derestricting one car to race another still restricted is well pointless. Remove all the silly F1 regulations and let’s see just how fast that Merc really is!

It’s not the same, but imagine they built it!

 

Simulation gives us an idea of what can be done.

Agree. Found it quite interesting the VR created a real life state for the driver with regard to sensory response etc. Suggesting the brain interprets the risk as real and not a game.

LH now equals the great MS on 91 GP victories!!

 

Say what you want about the dominant Mercedes. But that’s 91st time he’s beaten a teammate in an equal car. Well done sir. #respect

Frame those 91 victories how you want. We all know it’s not quite the same.

It’s a great achievement nonetheless, well done LW.

 

I didn’t see the post race interview, who did Lewis blame for the win?
