Red Bull should have given the drive to Gasly for 2020, not only would that show that once you are demoted it isn't necessarily the end for you, you can come back, but also it looks like Albon needs the same kind of 'kick-up-the-backside' demotion that the other drivers have been given. No Red Bull...

Well, I voted that Vettel would win but it would be close. So much for that idea. My question is with a 24 point gap from Leclerc to Vettel, almost a race win, is that really all that close? While Vettel has benefited from having a favored race strategy in the team, Charles did what he needed to do...

F1 Racer

I wasn’t watching really closely, but did Albon not push Vettel pretty hard throughout the second half of the race? I know he was fortunate to gain 4s during the first round of pit stops, but that seems a pretty respectable way to end the season? Perhaps there is something I missed - no doubt F1 Ra...

F1 Racer

Exactly, 'was'. Albon was a rookie, not Albon is a rookie. Big difference. H e's already had a season and a third of races under his belt in old money, (i.e. back when 16 races per season was the norm) . So by 1950's standards he's a 2.5 season veteran? Correct. To gauge experience, it's the number...

F1 Racer

Albon is literally a couple of races away from many people turning against him. If he is still slow after race two of next season, then what more excuses are left for him, where else can any supporters go? He's not really a rookie, he has had 21 grand prix now, that's plenty to start getting good a...

I can't even imagine the lambasting that drivers like Damon Hill and Eddie Irvine would have gotten if the internet was widespread and easily accessible in the mid '90s. Irvine was so many miles away from Schumacher, yet he was retained year after year. Then, through a heavy dose of chance and circ...

F1 Racer

Yeah, I mean he's not a great driver, it's as simple as that. None of Gasly, Kyvat or Albon should be on the grid, but Gasly is probably just about the best out of all three. Your crusade against Albon is borderline bizarre at this point. He's a frikkin' rookie up against arguably the best driver o...

It's on topic because he was slow in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix too.

The only ridiculous thing is you refusing to accept the fact that it is not an ordinary gap. Please bring up a comparable driver pairing that shows a similar disparity. Kubica Russell doesn't count because there are a actually a few times kubica had been close and the consensus is that he is the wo...

Really? I dont recall any top driver that far ahead of a so called mediocre driver. Actually when the gap is that big it usually suggests that the slower guy should not be on the grid. Even kubica can sometimes challenge Russell. Verstappen is making albon and gasly look like jolyon palmer clones b...

When you look at the points of the drivers who have been at Red Bull or Toro Rosso, Verstappen has over 50 more points than the other 3 put together. I know Red bull seems to work around max, but that is an absolutely massive difference given i am already making it an unrealistic comparison. I thin...

F1 Racer

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 ...

F1 Racer

I hate this track with a passion and it has produced another pretty tedious race really. The minor placings changed hands later on I suppose, but not a classic. The Mercedes dominance here was underlined by Hamilton being able to set the fastest lap on pretty old hard tyres, and Bottas being able t...

F1 Racer

So from what I can gather, Sainz HAS confirmed 6th in the WDC. It's been a strong season from Carlos but he's one of the most divisive drivers on the grid it seems when it comes to this forum when deciding just how good he really is. I do believe him to be generally a very smart points hoover. When...

Option or Prime wrote:Still on your anti Albon stint then, becoming an obsession!

Correct, he has lost to Vettel now so he has yet to finish ahead of any of the top 5 in the WDC on merit in his 9 races at the Red Bull team.

Also he's about 50 seconds behind his teammate.

F1 Racer

Albon looking slow again. Bottas has him beat from the back of the grid.

F1 Racer

Also Crofty talking about the battle for 6th in the WDC. Like anyone really cares about this, if it matters so much then why wasn't the battle for 6th in the WDC mentioned in many other earlier rounds of the season?

F1 Racer

This is one of those races where I watched the first couple of laps and I knew that I didn't need to watch much more of the race.

It is not a classic this far. Hopefully something happens.

Nothing will happen.

I hate Abu Dhabi as the season ending grand prix, the races here are always dull.

F1 Racer

Well this race seems exciting.

It was disturbing hearing Crofty's comments regarding the increased safety car usage recently. Clearly he is in favour of artificial 'spicing up' of the racing.

Oh wow, Albon is 0.6 seconds off Max in qualifying and behind both Ferrari's so it's costing the team unnecessary points with him being this slow. Am I still the only one on this forum that is against Albon or are other people starting to join me? If Albon never gets any closer to Max you still won...

Yes is agree, but I was replying to your 2nd paragraph in which you speculated Albon could have left room. You don’t leave room for something you are unaware of. I am saying that Albon could have left room in the same way that Williams could have released Kubica safely. If both Albon and Williams h...

You say there is a big difference between contact at corners and contact on straights , but do not explain what the difference is? Contact is contact. Damage is damage. Steering your car into the path of another car is steering your car into the path of another car. All of these can happen on strai...

Congrats to Carlos Jr. for a well earned podium even if he didn't get to celebrate it from there. That was a great drive from the very back of the grid.

I think Hamilton made a mistake not to go for slipstream. He should have tucked behind behind going to final corner. But Gasly did well not to make mistake even though he went for the outside line in the final corner and had slightly few more meter to travel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsbjI6H...

Looking at that Joleon Palmer video, he blames SV for coming across into Leclerc, with SV's rear wheel in line with CL's front wheel. I agree with him here.
