Re: Silly Season 2022

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 ...

Red Bull and Toro Rosso's worst drivers

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?

Drivers fighting for positions

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?

Deciding the WDC

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?

Re: Is bottas time up at Mercedes.

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 ...

Re: Which team has the best driver pairing?

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.

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...

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.
