Gravel traps or those horrible kerbs will definitely prevent driver from exceeding track limits. Does anyone know how much difference those Hamilton 29laps made ? It's impossible to really know. I have read that he immediately went quicker when he stopped doing it, for what that's worth. Personally...

Mercedes-Benz

Based on the performance in this race alone, i don't really see it as being that special. That car looked either 3rd or 4th best. Even with perez not getting through, Tsunoda didn't manage to either. He had a bad start which he admitted to and while he recovered to 9th the main reasons he got there...

Mercedes-Benz

Worst possible start with 2 penalties in 2 days for Vettel. But since it going to take some races before AM gets competitive he has sometime. It is a big project. It is not doom and gloom what some like to think. He has not forgotten how to drive a car so things will only get better with time

Mercedes-Benz

I think it is the tyres which has been a problem for many years. They are sensitive and not good for aggressive racing. It is all about the management

Mercedes-Benz

I am not convinced at all that Mercedes was a slower car when Bottas was basically matching Hamilton’s race pace throughout the entire race. Absolutely. IMO media was building too much unwanted hype about RBR performance. Not sure about the problem Max had with the tyres, differential issues. I tho...

Mercedes-Benz

I knew Mercedes was going to be strong in the race. Their strategy was also better especially for Hamilton. The track has lot of run off and the Hamilton mistake was in nice spot which did not make difference in the end. If RBR can keep developing their car it is going to very close battle. Midfield...

Mercedes-Benz

I know we are only one weekend in, but the fact that Vettel couldn’t even match Stroll for pace is just tragic. Alonso has been out of the sport for years and beat Ocon right away. Now when you combine that with Raikkonen looking no better than Giovinazzi these days, that 2018 Ferrari SF71 is begin...

Mercedes-Benz

Vettel is a complete washed up bum to be honest .. obviously didn’t train during the off season.. seems content to be just one of the guys .. pathetic really from a 4 times wdc.. compare that to Alonso who has clearly taken off season seriously and looks really prepared Vettel is definitely happy a...

Mercedes-Benz

I missed the qualifying but great to know Max is P1. Disappointing result especially for Perez, Vettel and Yuki. I think it was almost entirely bad luck for vettel though. Stroll easily got through to Q3, so that isn't representitive for Vettel. Stroll however looked to underperform a little in q3,...

I missed the qualifying but great to know Max is P1. Disappointing result especially for Perez, Vettel and Yuki.

Mercedes-Benz

Yuki time is pretty good which suggest me RBR has lot more speed. Though may be it is the track or conditions suits their car. Gasly got P4 some year back in STR. Barcelona is a technical track so that would have been better benchmark. RBR only become competitive in second half when championship is ...

Mercedes-Benz

Hopefully everyone will have a good day. Vettel needs to do more laps. I think AM will be 3rd best team. So in a way it is good that he is not in Ferrari. lol. Also interested to see how Yuki and Alonso do this year.

Mercedes-Benz

I think they were 80bhp down to Mercedes so definitely the weakest by far and they were compensating with aero, smaller rear ring which Vettel hates. If AT had been more consistent I think even they could have beat them last year. I still think Ferrari will be in that tight midfield battle this year.

Mercedes-Benz

Sensible decision. It is unfortunate that Honda is leaving after this year. But at least RBR and AT will be continue and I think engine is no longer a factor. Ferrari engine should be back to normal as well.

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.

Mercedes-Benz

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...
