It's known as the Netflix curse

[Patchelicious]

Not sure if it's the case, but someone told me that Netflix was filming Merc (for Drive to Survive). I think they had a bad race the last time Netflix filmed them, as did Ferrari when they were filmed.

Difficult to make an exciting film when the Merc is sooo dominant.

Did anyone follow the sky news interview yesterday with Toto? I followed it in bits and pieces via twitter. He(Toto) has been a fan of GR since he was 15. Hearing(well reading in my case) that interview and the stories he tells about GR makes me like the guy a lot.

Marzipan is in the *** again. Entitled a$$hole.

Like that Sheckter lad cept he blew his career.

[Andymann]

I haven't been following F2 so when I saw the comment here on the thread about "Marzipan" being a bit aggressive I did a bit of Google searching and see he's a real piece of work - and that's before this latest little stunt on Instagram.  Haas must be in serious financial difficulty for them to even consider this guy - I hope the financial backing is worth the admin because he's going to be a handful.

 

He looks like he could be another Santino Ferrucci - he also blew his F1 career (although he seems to be doing better in Indy)

So what is everyone's thoughts on this young driver test debacle.
From what I understand FIA has allowed Alonso (no youngster) to test saying he is a new rider in a team.
BUT now they have dismissed Vettel and Sainz's request even though they would meet that criteria.

Very strange.......

I think the FIA are similar to any governing body, making up the rules as they go along, all depending on viewership numbers. 

 

If the FIA and F1 could have a Romain crash every weekend they would, just for the massive viewership.

Mazepin is going to be a Maldanardo, he is going to be diving into gaps that are not there, moving 5 times in the braking zone. His money will keep him in F1. 

 

He replied on instagram saying pretty much that in the real world, the guys with the money finish first.

Going to test the money fixes everything with Mazepin.

From his little Instagram video he also tried to dive into a gap that wasn't there.

Must say I am quite enjoying this little Mercedes debacle.
Trying to confirm Lewis's achievements are not as a result of an obviously dominant car.
Where will Russell slot in with calls for him to replace Bottas immediately as opposed to waiting for 2022.

Is Bottas's car compromised/detuned, or how do you explain his performances. Very up and down.....

Bottas is just Mercedes's Albon.
