Max wanted to slam the door in Lewis's face, Lewis stuck his foot in the gap and the door banged back in Max's face. Moral of the story, make sure a foot isn't within range of the door when you slam it.

Best analogy I've read on this incident so far

Brilliant format, looking forward to the next couple and hopefully more of it next year.

Not sure if sarcasm or...?

Finally we can wave goodbye to the horrible step-noses.

Nice and clean-looking... I wonder what the dimensions are compared to the 2021 cars?

MistaVega23

Before my time so never watched him race, but aware of his achievements and how respected he was in F1 circles.

RIP.

MistaVega23

There's only so much even the greatest drivers can do in inferior machinery. See Senna in 94, Schumacher in 05 for a couple of examples. Do you mean 1993? Schumacher's 2005 season was wrecked by tyres; apparently the F2005 was on a par with the 2004 car, we just didn't have the chance to see it due...

There was a similar one in Bahrain called 'Albon's Career' on the last corner

Sounds like Singapore is going to be cancelled for the second year in a row. F1 assessing options for a replacement. Also saw a headline this morning that any F1 personnel going to Netherlands in September will need a vaccine. It's probable there may be double header at COTA to compensate for the c...

Seems a legit point to me. Red Bull has been in flexiwing controversies before.

Personally I don't see any favouritism shown to Mercedes more than anyone else on the grid.

MistaVega23

His pole lap at Silverstone 2007 was mega, although back then it was qualifying with race fuel so not exactly a 'level' playing field.

Singapore 2018 is my choice.

MistaVega23

Might be a stupid question but what will the performance difference be? I haven't looked into it yet...

MistaVega23

I'm 5 episodes in and feel it's definitely catered to non-F1 people. I enjoy the behind the scenes stuff but the on-track action is just laughable. The DAS in Austria clip is almost embarrassing! It's a shame they don't use the 10 episodes to focus each episode on each team and make them an hour long.

MistaVega23

I've had the same feelings with the Verstappens and Schumachers. The only downside with Mick joining the grid in '21 is that his father won't be in the garage to cheer him on. Watching their dads drive flat out for years and suddenly their offspring are lining up to create their own history... it ju...

MistaVega23

It seems fitting that the first F1 race I watched with my dad was Monaco '92. The strange thing is, it wasn't the battle between Senna and Mansell that captivated me, it was Murray's commentary. His love for Damon was so obvious, but less annoying than the Hamilton love-fest we see from commentators...

1. Alpine - a beautiful shade of blue 2. Aston Martin - would be no.1 if they stuck to the yellow stripes and not added the pink 3. Alfa Romeo - a nice switch-up to last year's livery 4. Alphatauri - same as Alfa 5. McLaren - nice and simple, hasn't gone too overboard 6. Haas - I quite like the Russ...

MistaVega23

Feeling quite emotional right now. The voice of motorsport (not just F1, I loved his BTCC and motorcycle commentary as well) and the most addictive voice I've ever heard in sport. My first GP experience at Silverstone 2012 ended with the post-race party and Murray was brought on stage - I'll never f...

Off-topic (well, circuit-related), someone has highlighted the final corner of Sakhir on Google Maps as 'Albon's Career'

It's so weird seeing MSC on the timing screens again.

MistaVega23

It looks like one of the default liveries on Codemasters' My Team feature.

Not a fan, TBH.

MistaVega23

Feels a bit 'backmarker' to me. Although it's nice and clean I must say.

The Russian influence is strong too.

MistaVega23

Just watched the live stream - good to have Jaguar back!

Justfeel the Aston Martin car will be the best looking car on the grid! Real excited for the car launch.

I'm hoping this too, but can't help but feel we'll be let down, especially now they've stuck with BWT (how are they going to fit the pink into it??)

MistaVega23

Best livery so far.

MistaVega23

only thing that jumps out is the Honda logo, no effort to make that compliement the rest of the livery. Looks like a bit like "crap, we forgot Honda" "No worries, there's a gap down there,slap on on one those free stickers they gave out at the trade show, sorted" :lol: Whenever I see a white sidepo...

MistaVega23

It seems to me that F1 is trying its hardest to get rid of its long-standing, die-hard fanbase and replace it with what looks like the tiktok-dancing, instagram-pouting generation.

DRS was the final gimmick I'd accepted. Now this?

MistaVega23

I subscribe to F1TV and have been loving watching classic races from the archive.

My only gripe with the app is that it doesn't allow you to cast to your TV so you're stuck with either your phone or tablet.

MistaVega23

Well-overdue IMO, considering they handed out the same honour to the likes of Andy Murray (who simply won a tournament) and some cyclists who won a gold medal at an Olympics.

I really wish the MSM would drop the 'tax exile' comments though. It's getting so tiresome now.

Hopefully we can add Alpha Tauri and maybe Ferrari to the mix in midfield runners.

Wow. This is definitely something I didn't expect to read after the end of last season.

Maybe we'll get a Williams/Ferrari battle for 9th in the constructors in 2021?

MistaVega23

I'm hoping he doesn't overdrive this weekend just trying to prove himself in a top car. At the same time I'm hoping he doesn't hold back and simply relies on the car to get a podium! I'm going for the last option, although I hope George wins. This might happen, I can't help but feel that some of hi...

Whichever way you look at it, the pressure is well and truly on Bottas now. Defacto no.1 driver for this weekend and whoever comes in, he'd better have them covered.

MistaVega23

Hulk please. To jump in the RP as he did this year and stick it in P3 at Silverstone surely proves that he'll be quick straight out of the box. Vandoorne and Gutierrez will take time to get up to speed, IMO.

Russell also deserves a shot though.

MistaVega23

Damon Hill Silverstone 1993. Mansell gone, a new Brit to cheer on and he absolutely dominated until his Renault gave up. I know he went on to win in 1994 but his 1993 race was flawless, IMO. I've been watching the 1993 season recently on F1TV and have to say, without the unreliability, Damon could r...

MistaVega23

Well happy with this. I might even stop streaming and wait for the C4 highlights instead. Jacques and DC will be a top pairing IMO.

MistaVega23

Jack Nichols is my favorite motorsport commentator at the moment. I think he's superb but I want him to keep doing FE. Alex Jacques is also really good but I like him doing F2 and F3 so again I would miss him. Perhaps it's time to give this fella another try - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iEt9S...

MistaVega23

I can see Lewis wrapping it up at Imola. 104 points up for grabs and he's currently 77 ahead of Bottas.

He needs just 1 point more than Valtteri and it's all over.

MistaVega23

I said in another thread a couple of months back that Haas needed to get rid of both RG and KM and take in Hulk and Perez - I'd prefer Mick to go to Alfa alongside Kimi.

Where that leaves Ilott, however...

MistaVega23

I know people will hate me saying it but... electric for 2026 onwards? Large manufacturers seem to have little appetite for these highly expensive and largely irrelevant power units. In the more immediate future though, surely it’s back to Renault for 2022. Electric will kill F1, it just doesn't ha...

MistaVega23

So 3 ex-Ferrari employees are now at in the top 3 positions in motorsport. Hmmm....

That said, Todt is expected to step down in 2021, so maybe there is hope for us yet.

MistaVega23

I never did have the chance to witness the V10s in the flesh, but my first time at Silverstone 2012 was an eye-opener. I'll never, ever forget waiting in traffic to get into the circuit and hearing the V8s in the distance once FP1 started. It was goosebumps for sure. I might be in the minority, but ...

Palmer's not a fan:

F1 needs to wait and see what the 2021 cars can do. If the racing is closer, then reverse grids shouldn't be mentioned again. Ever.
