[Misc] F1 2021

FIFA, FIA only a letter but both dodgy as f@ck.

Was it a mechanical failure or were Mercedes trying it on?

Seems like they think something went wrong- a fitting came loose or became compromised seems to be the narrative. Can’t see it being deliberate - it seems a pointless risk to take.

Surprised Mercs were this incompetent, pressure getting to them

I agree, lots of mistakes this season from them and Lewis, they have not reacted to the Red Bull pressure well.

Great drive from Hamilton +15 in sprint.

All to do tomorrow from 10th but he’s laid down a market and Bottas on pole. Can’t wait

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Yeah Hamilton absolutely smashed that- no mercy. Great session for Merc with Bottas P1 as well.

Hamilton should be aiming for at least 3rd place tomorrow [emoji1320]

The Merc is the fastest car by a margin, they should get good points tomorrow if they get the strategy right.

It should be entertaining.

What an awesome drive by Lewis, maybe it’s not over….

 

[Motogull]

It was a shame that Botters didn't back them up from the first corner. That would have been fun.

In a very fast car.

There is no way this is over, if only they hadn't cheated.

It's this sort of competition that make F1 enjoyable again, Merc were so far ahead it became stale and predictable.

Plenty more action this season.

Yeah, sorry it was a regulation drive by the fast car with no driver input, sorry for getting enthusiastic about that

Yes but I've heard they have a bang average driver line up

Regardless of fastest car, pretty run-of-the-mill driving to go from last to 5th inside 24 laps. Passing is pretty easy in F1.

 

[A1X]

Further my thinking we should do one reverse grid sprint somewhere, separate the racers (Lewis, Max) from the people who are only up top because they’re in a good car (Bottas)

 

[Icy Gull]

Hard to argue with that

My F1 course overseen by Mouldy has opened my eyes to just how bang average too

I wonder sometimes if you guys realise how fast that car is

Has everyone forgotten Russell pace when he was in a Merc

It's not there in a Williams, I wonder why?

That Merc will pass those backmarkers on this track without DRS, it's quick why do you dispute this

Should be a good race, but unless Merc cock up under pressure again they should be bagging two podiums today.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Are Alfa Romeo checking the small print on exit clauses on their 2022 contracts I wonder??

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Hamilton up from 10th to 3rd in 4 laps. Strong.

Can he take one or both Red Bulls?

Wasn't the Red Bull under investigation over a flexing wing?
Or is that OK for them?

I see Bottas has gone from pole to 4th while Lewis has gone from 10th to 3rd?
