Re: Will lewis retire after the seasons over if he collects is 8th title. ?

Doubtful, he was quite keen in getting a new contract sorted back in the summer. He's chasing records now.

Ocon has signed long term with Alpine too so there will be some major upsets.

Re: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread

With Pirelli bringing the softer compound range C3-C5 I think the advantage Merc have may be reduced. Merc have been strong everytime the C1-C3 range was taken (bar Dutch GP) and RB appear to be stronger with the C3-C5 range (Azerbaijan bar the blow out and Austria winning with large margin).

Re: Who's going to be champion?

Hamilton has been very strong post engine change in Brasil and one would expect him to carry the form in Abu Dhabi. However I think the tyres may close the advantage they have. Pirelli are bringing the softer compound (C3C4C5) range to Abu Dhabi. To date, Ham has won everytime they bought the harder...

Re: 2013 Malaysian GP Thread

Problem is the team took a strategic decision to hold positions to save fuel, tyres, engine, etc. Vettel disregarded that order to gain for himself. Mark has more than a few occasions stayed behind Vettel for the same resons even though he was faster, the British GP two years ago springs to mind. I ...

Ferrari really need to get their act together. Alonso has driven some of his best this year but the car is far too inferior compared to the RBR and Mclaren.

Its probably running on reduced capacity at the moment due but if they needed maximum power, I suspect there will be an overheating risk.

I think he has struggled to get any sponsorship from Japanese corporations after all they are still rebuilding from the aftermath...

Re: Massa gets a new gearbox to promote Alonso to clean side

If Massa was mathematically possible to win the WDC then it was not fair for him to take the hit.

He know's this and if he's in a better position next year for a WDC chance then I'm sure ferrari wont pull this trick.

I think any other team would of done the same.

yeah definately take ear protection. For adults, it will be bearable initially, but after a while, you'll want the ear plugs.
