Re: Leclerc vs Sainz
Carlos is a unicorn, let go by RBR, let go by Renault, ignored by F1 (20th to 3rd at Brazil 2019 and almost not shown in the coverage at all?!), and signed as the definitive backup to THE Ferrari driver. People have been underestimating him for a long time, and he’s just quietly put in the work. Car...

Re: 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread
Good to see Leclerc getting his obligatory session ending crash out of the way. Better here than in qualifying. For a supposedly elite driver he sure does crash alot. IMO, if he loses that Ferrari (political) support he will burn out very fast. What is going on at Ferrari is pretty interesting. It ...

Re: Worst driver on the first lap.
I knew that Valtteri has had some abysmal starts this year. Same with Checo. I didn't realize that Gasly and Norris had that much of a problem on the starts. For Lewis and Max there are not very many if any places to be gained on a start, but a lot of opportunity to lose position. Looks like Mick Sc...

Re: Should Bottas be sacked?
Valtteri did everything that could have been asked of him today. He got a hat trick this weekend with Pole F-lap, & the Win. He does need to figure out how to make his "off" weekends pay off better for the team. Hopefully this win puts him in a better frame of mind for the upcoming races. As much as...

Re: Should Bottas be sacked?
Hopefully Valtteri (going for a win) gives Max more trouble than he did in Sochi. If he can't keep the RBR, which is noticeably slower on the straights behind him Valtteri does indeed have some problems.

Re: Qatar sign 10 year deal to host GP
Doesn't have any real esses, or rhythm section.
One has to wonder if the second DRS zone will be between 3-4 or between 15-16. Neither is a very long straight.
Seems like another soulless Tilke designed race track.

Re: Should Bottas be sacked?
As much as it would benefit Mercedes to sack Valtteri and put George in the car for the rest of the year, I think Toto's sense of loyalty to his drivers and sense of adhering to promises made, will mean that Vlatteri will finish out the rest of the year in the Merc.

Re: IndyCar 2021
I would love it if Formula 1 could have wheel to wheel dicing and passing like Indycar has. The cars can overtake and follow closely without elements such as rain to aid the competition.
Actually both series could learn from each other on some of their practices.
