Mercedes-Benz

The early VSC completely ruined this race as it was too predictable But still Mercedes and Hamilton especially were very dominant on this track for many many years. So RBR being so good here is a good sign. Very surprising race IMO. Hopefully RBR can be good for once from the start next year.

Mercedes-Benz

This is a sad and shocking news. RBR and I think AT as well had great relationship with Honda. 2022 would have been best chance for title. They should have at least signed 1 more year and see if it is worth it.

Mercedes-Benz

Yes Kvyat was unlucky he was stuck behind Gasly and then the red flag ruined his race. Gasly performance after the red flag was also impressive and it was exciting race after the red flag.

Mercedes-Benz

Unfortunately that is not happening. Next year again Mercedes will win both the titles. Bottas is also confirmed so Hamilton will be at least for 1year I am sure. Vettel is pretty much confirmed for RP. Now that Perez has announced he is leaving.

Mercedes-Benz

Gasly was good and without the pitstop I think he would have even better result. The good thing was unlike Spain where Mercedes lapped everyone except 3 cars this race no one was lapped and Ferrari was the worst midfield car. I think RP performance was also very disappointing. They used to be really...

Mercedes-Benz

Yes I think they are unbeatable. RBR for some reason are not able to beat their last year qualifying times :? I actually was optimistic for RBR this year but they have also gone backwards this year and Mercedes have done even better job. So the difference between them and rest is looking even big. R...

Mercedes-Benz

It is very sad to see how he is been treated. I hope he goes to RP. He is a emotional person and I have feeling he will blossom there, he needs to be loved though. RP IMO is a very talented and underrated team. There is no reason why they can't fight for podium and beat Ferrari again in future :twis...

Mercedes-Benz

I voted for Max, Lance and K Mag. Though RP pace was disappointing as Lance was 49secs behind Max

Mercedes-Benz

Absolutely. Vettel is still one of the best drivers. The only problem is his commitment to midfield team. IMO RP considering their budget have done amazing job for many years consistently. So now with more money may be they can like RBR?. Vettel will be huge boost and can be the surprise of 2021. Es...

Mercedes-Benz

Ferrari definitely seem much worse this year. They seems to be in midfield 8O They used to make lot of time on straights. I think they were 10kmph up and now are 10kmph down. So 20kmph difference is pretty big downgrade for whatever reason and still are lacking on downforce :? RBR car used to work w...

Mercedes-Benz

Looks like Mercedes will cruise to 1-2 once again in the championship. Though RP, Mclaren and Renault look competitive on this track and seems to be in Ferrari level in the midfield so far. Albon is pretty slow.

Mercedes-Benz

Unfortunately Ferrari have decided to go with Charles so there was no way Vettel would continue. I do not think it was about money. I am sure Vettel would go to another top team with 10 million $ if they offer him. But RBR said they cannot have 2 number1 in their team. I hope Mercedes offer him a se...

Mercedes-Benz

Good opportunity for Sainz but I think he is going to be destroyed by Charles. It is Charles team now and I think it will be his decision whenever the time comes to move to another team. Though I think he and the team want to win the title together.

Eddie Jordan: Lewis Hamilton will move to Ferrari in 2021. Mercedes will leave the sport. https://f1-insider.com/en/formula1/formula-1-news-eddie-jordan-hamilton-will-move-to-ferrari/ Thoughts? I see that a 2021 silly season thread doesn't exist yet so why not start it with this rumour from EJ. Hop...

Mercedes-Benz

I think Vettel is my 2nd favorite driver so it would be great if he can go to Mercedes some how. But if Mercedes and RBR seat is not available for him. I think he will retire. He has said many times he enjoys racing but I am not sure he want to go to midfield teams.

Mercedes-Benz

Bahrain should go as per schedule. They are not even going to allow any spectator on the track

Not sure about Vietnam. Hopefully rest of the season will not get affected. Probably they will need to have restriction on international spectators or something

Mercedes-Benz

Not a great fan of this track but very unfortunate that the race got cancelled. I guess the Mclaren employee tested positive scared them off

I hope Bahrain race goes on.

Mercedes-Benz

I voted for Vettel. He was faster in races anyways most time. I expect Vettel to be more comfortable this year. Very rare to see a top driver loosing rear end in the Monza and spinning around in the race, that was strange. I think that was his worst race. I have a feeling he is going be good this ye...

Mercedes-Benz

Ferrari over 170+ laps today 8O They have been really productive this week and done most laps I think. RBR not sure why lap count is low. But I think they have a good car. Although this is unlikely I will not be surprised if RP start good this year: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/racing-point-fe...

Mercedes-Benz

I think top3 order is correct. Hopefully gap between them is close. Ferrari have had pretty low mileage. The engine problem they had did not help. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.10-things-we-learned-from-the-opening-f1-pre-season-test.hAKAdohBpCfGcuWuvS04z.html I also think RP are going ...

Mercedes-Benz

As much as I hate to admit it, it’s infuriating just how much better Mercedes are than every other team. They are a far better ran organization than Ferrari. Their resources and spending power far exceed that of every other team on the grid. This kind of combination is impossible to beat. It was on...

Mercedes-Benz

Not a great day for Renault, they did not make 3 figures. They are the team that need to make use of this testing. Other teams are doing good mileage. Especially Mercedes with 180 odd laps.

Mercedes-Benz

I think Albon, Kvyat and Gasly are evenly matched. Gasly was just too bad in the first half. Albon target should be to get a podium this year and with in 20secs of Max. I think that will be a good improvement for him

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes 1-2 with lots of laps as well. No surprise there. lol. Every team has done over 100 laps 8) I am interested to see how far Max can go this year. RBRH should be more competitive this year. Midfield will also be very exciting. I hope AR does not fall behind. Second half of 2019 was pretty bad...

Mercedes-Benz

RBR will be second best team to Mercedes. Max will have his best career in F1. So he will finish at least 2nd in the standings. Vettel and Charles will be very competitive but Vettel will win this time. Renault will have much better year. Ocon will be very competitive to Ricciardo. There will be a b...

Mercedes-Benz

I voted for wouldn't need him. Drivers was never Ferrari's problem. If I were Ferrari boss I would probably go for Bottas instead. Charles would have had another year and more experience by then. So I would keep him as his young and go for Bottas. I think Bottas can be good team mate, decent driver...

Midfield battle was great. RP really improved their car where as AR slipped down. Renault I do not think had a bad car but for some reason they did not get good results. STR also had a great year.

Mercedes-Benz

I think it is good decision by Ferrari. Top speed is overrated in general and especially in F1.

Mercedes-Benz

I always take these things with a grain of salt, but I have to say this time I really don't believe the top few in particular. I'm pretty sure I've read elsewhere that Danny Ric is only on something in the low 20s per year (still a huge amount), and that Vettel only made ~$50m in his first year wit...

Mercedes-Benz

I think it will be close. Ocon was improving and getting better. I think he has more potential as he was only 22 that time. So he was doing great job in FI. I do not think Renault is as bad as it looks but Ricciardo have had only few good races. Hulk was matching him most of the races this year

Mercedes-Benz

Vettel going back to RBR. He has been spotted with RBR, CH couple of times as well this year.

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes had a significant advantage this year. I think the changes FIA made to this year played into their hands. Ferrari have gone backwards. Though they had some strong qualifying. RBR was affected due to front wing rules and they usually they start slow. For the most part of this year they also ...

Mercedes-Benz

I don't think anybody is particularly against you or for you, I think majority of people are saying it's way to soon to make a judgement call and it's unfair to expect a rookie to come into a team halfway through the season and beat max He doesn't need to beat Max, he just needs to be within about ...

Mercedes-Benz

I think he'll still be at Mercedes but driving for an eye watering amount of money! He can get more money in Ferrari for sure. I would not mind if Vettel and Hamilton swap places. I do not think Charles will swap with him and he will like to continue in Ferrari. Max is also available for 2021 so he...

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes is very dominant in this track but more than 43secs behind them and more than 26secs behind RBR. They have lost lot of performance because Singapore they were pretty good.

Mercedes-Benz

What a domination by Mercedes. Bottas would have got podium if DRS was working from start. It would have been easy 1-2 if Bottas had no penalty. Ferrari got exposed. Some how in Singapore they were good. But even Max finished more than 26secs ahead of them. They have lost lot of performance. It was ...

Mercedes-Benz

1 pitstop race is too predictable. Singapore is especially a joke as they intentionally driver several secs slow to make 1 stop work :uhoh: As opposed to basically ensuring that everyone uses the same strategy by imposing 2 pit stops? We want unpredictability, we want SC assisted wins which you hav...

Mercedes-Benz

Vettel was 99% ahead and made the move fraction too early. Charles knew what was coming but still did not want to give up. No MB, that is not correct. Vettel cannot have been 99% ahead if his left rear then touched the rear shoulder of Leclerc's right front tyre - which it did. That incident is bei...
