[Misc] F1 2021

[Worried Man Blues]

Delighted I’d say, he was gagging for it from the moment the race looked like it might not be run

Really, that's rather sad not to race and get second and be happy, gone down in my book... C'est la vie.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Race called off, do the poor buggers who trekked there get the entrance money back?

I'll let you know if I do IG

they should have started after the F3 boys and sacrificed the tin tops,although that was quite an entertaining race.everyone knew the rain was coming.the Dutch fans were brilliant, 8am pissing down and on the beer

Dry race predicted.

Personally this is one to get out of the way before Monza, which should be a lot more fun.

Love Spa and Monza, confess to not really remembering Zandvoort, it’s been a long time. I imagine the track can get sandy if it’s windy, which could be interesting.

FFS, kept away from this thread and anything else likely to give me news about the race or the result for the whole afternoon.
Ordered a strategic Chinese for just before 20:00 hrs.
Sat down to enjoy what would undoubtedly be an eventful race. Telly on.

That was me, too. A proper Likely Lads scenario!

I've not been there yet, but have a few Dutch friends who race there in historics, yes it does get dusty . . . That big long right hander Sheivlak? Catches people out.

How anyone can say they're not interested in women's football, yet drool over traffic is beyond me.

Gets weirder, I hate cricket too

(Oh and Baseball, American Football and Rugby League also hold zero interest for me)

All kinds of wrong there. Incredible.

Anything with an egg shaped ball is ****. I do like cricket though.

I like motorsport, prefer being involved than watching TBH . . .F1 is probably in the bottom 1/3 of motorsports TBH.

That was a really enjoyable qualifying session. I predict some mayhem tomorrow.

 

[A1X]

Am I right in thinking without that slight improvement on his first lap time Max would have lost out there?

Also I did enjoy Red Bull being all Karen again to the FIA.

Spot on

I’m a big fan of that banked hairpin, looks like a BMX track. Reminds me of the Carousel at the Nurburgring.

Lewis NEARLY had Max with that last lap. As always he raised his game when it mattered.

Christian Horner and Red Bull are a bunch of tarts. You have to laugh at their childish behaviour as they try and make out Mercedes are a bunch of cheats.

I was worried that the track would be a bit shit but the potential for drama drama drama tomorrow is massive.

The circuit is great, proper old school . . . . Just what's needed on the F1 calendar as opposed to the sterile shit thats been served up in t recent decades. If our Gov/MSUK had any balls they'd get Brands Hatch back on the calendar, that really would be a good one.

CH is a twunt, I don't honestly think he knows one end of a car from the other, but has carved himself a succesful career by getting involved at the top and 'project managing' . He's clearly good at that. Red BUlls money + Adrian Newey = success. . . . You'd have to be pretty daft to not make something succesful from that pairing.

They have spent millions on getting that circuit up to scratch, looks brilliant

Newey is the dog’s bollocks on car design

Brands Hatch

I've had a spin around there back in the 90's

Watched videos of Senna,Prost,Mansell & Piquet the night before

Will always be my favourite circuit

Who built those bloody houses so close

Paddock bend

I lived in west Kingsdown opposite the entrance and we used to play in the woods next to the long straight at the back of the track….just saying how dangerous that was, we used to climb the fence and sit by the side of the track with people hammering along….( we were only 11 at the time)

Looking back , we were bonkers
