Enough of Hamilton's easy ride with Bottas. I've got a novel idea tho... Get George Russell in the Merc for 2022. I can't see Hamilton letting Mercedes do this, he has had a much tougher season against Verstappen than he was expecting and next season he will want as little competition from his own ...

Toro Rosso and Red Bull have had some incredible drivers driving for them, Vettel, Verstappen and Sainz to name three but who are the worst drivers to drive for TR and more so Red Bull?

When 2 drivers are fighting for positions what can the leading driver do to hinder the other driver? How can he minimise any benefit gained from the tow on the straights or make entry and exit from corners harder for him?

Will the WDC be decided by a mistake?

Will the 2nd place go to the driver who ran wide or who spun out pushing too hard chasing victory at Abu Dhabi or will it solely down to each drivers performances?

Kev627

Has any driver concentrated on sandbagging his performance too much during practice that his qualifying and race were compromised because he hadn't learnt properly how his car behaved at the circuit?

Kev627

I don't think so. In Hamilton's eyes Bottas is the perfect team mate, he fast enough to run 2nd or 3rd in a race and help keep other drivers further behind Hamilton as he extends his lead but not fast enough to regularly challenge him. There is no way Hamilton would allow Toto to hire a driver like ...

Personally I think Red Bull and McLaren have the best driver pairings. I think these two teams will allow the drivers more freedom when it comes to racing each other and in both cases I think the rivalry and competition between the drivers will be very closely fought.

Can Aston Martin outperform Mercedes this season using last season's well understood car while Mercedes have to develop and understand their new car?

What are the biggest changes a car has undergone between it's initial unveiling at the start of the year and the first race of the season?

How will the allocation of tyres, engine components and the time teams are allowed to work on their cars be changed if sprint races are introduced?

If hypothetically Hamilton and Mercedes are unable to reach an agreement and he doesn't sign to race for the 2021 season what will his options be for the coming season?

Kev627

Is anyone expecting any surprises from either Aston Martin or Alpine in the coming season?
Both teams have a highly experienced driver in their line up with some experienced people running the team but will we see them on the podium regularly or even scoring wins in 2021?

I realise a good car isn't the only thing the team needs to be successful but who is the current chief designer at Williams?

Kev627

Some from when I started watching F1, Prost Piquet, Alesi, Boutsen, Patrese, Warwick, Donnelly, Herbert?

What are the likely choice of driver number for some of the drivers that have competed in the past?

Kev627

I said to my wife yesterday that this was going to be a rubbish race, very boring with minimal overtaking. I was so glad to be proved wrong!

Kev627

It would be great if he was able to match Bottas throughout this weekend!

Reasons why containment won't work. I work in a warehouse with approx 500 other people, about half of which are Polish or Bulgarian. A member of staff will phone in sick with genuine symptoms of Covid-19 and 3 or 4 other staff members who live in the same house will arrive for work half an hour late...

Doesn't this add quite a major potential issue with regards to reliability. If the system fails how serious will it be for Mercedes?

Kev627

Mercedes have developed a system that allows the driver to change the alignment of the front wheels. By pushing and pulling on the steering wheel the front wheels alternate between standard 'toe-out' setting and a much straighter position. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.tech-insight-have...

Mansell is quite possibly the most overrated F1 driver of all time.

Something I've thought for a long time. Put him in a midfield car and see what happens, oh yeah, Ferrari 1989-1990!

I think he'll still be at Mercedes but driving for an eye watering amount of money!

Improve F1 by getting rid of pit stops and hard tires. The drivers can pit when they want and put on what tires they want but as there is no hard compound running a sigle set for the whole race is not possible.

This is simply speculation on my part, but is it possible that RB are running the same cars but they are designed around Verstappen's driving? Therefore, Gasly and, to a lesser extent, Albon have not been able to extract the max (no pun intended) from it that Verstappen has? I'm sure I read somewhe...

How to fix f1. Other things to improve f1. The floor of the car must be the same dimensions of the car. Not a floor that overhangs and comes put to give aerodynamic aid. (Basically hamilton shown the area to ellimimate. It's not needed) Could all cars using the same FIA floor be a possible rule?

All this information about tyre deg, other drivers tyre deg, pace etc. A pit board with the gap a couple of other drivers is all that's required.

Ban pit stops under the virtual safety car!

But like the Senna accident in 1994 the death itself wasn't caused by the circuit design. Senna was killed by a piece of the front wheel assembly piercing his visor, Hubert was killed by being hit at very high speed by another car and his car being sliced in half.

What will Vettel's tactics be to try to overhaul the 7 tenths pace difference shown by Leclerc in Quali?

Kev627

Hamilton will not win a race for the rest of the season.
Verstappen will win WDC.
Leclerc will beat Vettel at three quarters of remaining races.
And along with MistaVega23 I think (hope) Williams will finish in the points!

How will Albon's first race at Red Bull go? How do people think he will fare against his much more experienced team mate?

Kev627

If the DRS on a car fails during qualifying are the team able to get it fixed before the race or does the car have to start without it?

Almost got 4th and was generally closer to the top 3 teams than the rest of the midfield (who were otherwise really tightly bunched).

I was expecting him to do well here this weekend and he certainly made his mark!

Kev627

Was Austria the top of a slippery slope for Hamilton? Will we see Red Bull and Ferrari topping the podium more regularly now? Will McLaren start to feature more in the top 10, or even possibly top 5?
I think Silverstone might provide some answers!

Kev627

Will Sebastian Vettel be hanging up his helmet when his contract at Ferrari has finished? He clearly no longer enjoys F1 and this does seem to have badly affected his form.

Kev627

Unfortunately Hamilton pole, Bottas 2nd and Hamilton will walk away with the race victory.

Same old....
