Formula 1...

GR just showed everyone that LH is not as good as his fan boys make him out to be and it simply is all about the car and the team.

 

End of the day, remove LH and F1 is exciting.

Huh??

GR just showed everyone that LH is not as good as his fan boys make him out to be and it simply is all about the car and the team. The one race I actually want the Merc to win, they go and stuff it up six love. Give GR a few more races in that car to get used to it and he will be even better. I mean, he was asking the team where was the overtake button on the steering wheel and how much curb can he take. I really hope the vegan oke is not well enough to race this weekend and Merc make right by GR and give him the support he deserves and not stuff up the simplest of thing like giving the guys the correct tyres.

I felt bad for MV, he was a passenger in that accident.

Perez, WOW he stepped up.

End of the day, remove LH and F1 is exciting. Anyone know what viewership was like? 

 

 

MICK SCHUMACHER WORLD CHAMP!!!!! wow what an awesome 2 races as a whole. The sprint race was proper exciting and then I was stressing big time when MS cooked his tyres and changed them. Illot had also obviously pushed his tyres over the limit. I started asking Schwartsman to step up but that never happened, he is another Bottas. F2 is a lot more exciting IMHO. Imagine a 2021 F1 without LH and F2 with such close racing again.

I normally just watch the highlights of Qualifying and the Race Highlights on sunday night...

 

This weekend, I followed all the way from FP1 and followed every moment of the main race.

 

We watch sport for the unpredictability of it. If the results are a foregone conclusion, people will most likely move their attention to a more competitive sport.

Did anyone else see the irony in Aitken crashing Russll's car to bring out the yellow flags which resulted in Russell not winning.

Could have been from a movie script!

Scary to think how much faster Russel would be than Bottas if he had a month setting up the car, getting to know steering wheel, clutch bite point. I mean, first time using the Merc finger clutch and he annihilates Bottas who has been doing it for years.

 

Then he builds a 10 second buffer on Bottas, where on a normal circuit which is longer and more place for time gain on lap, would have been closer to 20/25 seconds. 

 

Again, Russel was not really able to over rule the team thats given him the drive for the weekend unlike Lewis would be able to do. 

 

I dont see a 44.8 million pound difference between George and Lewis in the same car. Pretty sure its going to make contract negotiations interesting with Hamilton possibly taking a hiatus is 2021.

Maybe LH will switch teams to see/show if he can win in another car and then claim “the greatest” title?

Class from Checo

Shoes a size too small, sitting up way higher than anyone else in the cockpit (which is actually good for vision, it must be said) and a seat that needed constant settling to feel anywhere near comfortable.

 

8 second gap to Bottas after first round of stops, carving from 5th to 2nd after that abortion of a pit stop, then from what, 14th? To almost catching Bottas AGAIN, and scoring points.

 

Yes, the car is good. But Bottas has shown he can't do that, in exactly the same car.

 

IMO it shows what a class act Russel actually is.

Think thats the reason for his break next year, see what manufacturer is fastest in 2022 Reg and next 4 years. Rather than signing 2 years for Merc.

Yeah, he would be smart to do that, nobody want to do a Rossi/Ducati move.

I'm glad GR himself didn't get any sanctions from this. It robbed him of the win. 

[MORNE]

I really don't want to see bottas leave, cause I think he's good and I like him

 

 

 

But was the same deal with Brendon Hartley unfortunately

They can do a straight swop with him back to Williams. i dont know, i never rated him really. He's too much of a nice guy...and tries too hard to look like a "killer" when he wins.  Nice guys finish last...especially if your team mate has that 'win at all cost' attitude. 

He reminds me a bit of Kovalainen. Super talented in the lower formulas, then relegated into oblivion by stronger team mates in F1. 

 

'Not all 'Fins are employed to win' lol.

 

Hope someone caught that Ron Dennis paraphrase

Strange that Mercedes, and more specifically LH's crew, the most professional of all,  would make such a stuff-up when an embarrassing win that would shown up the hype,  was there for the taking.

Have you read / seen how the stuff up happened? Completely understandable,it was.

 

You're looking for conspiracy here, eddy.
