I am half expecting Verstappen to have a 10 second lead by Lap 7 and the race to be all but done.

I agree, regardless of fp2 I think it'd pure copium to think anyone will challenge the RBs on race pace

FormulaFun

Merc is bad, understeer all the way around the lap and a wobbly back end at low speed to boot.

Russell's Williams experience will come in handy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doBY1TWp4Oo Given that this from F3 today as just given a 3 place grid penalty I doubt we will be seeing any race bans anytime soon. It is crazy, really. I dont know at what point exactly or why FIA became so unwilling to black flag or give drivers race bans for usin...

I say Perez in Japan 23

FormulaFun

I dont think old man hamilton can drive around issues and experiment and quickly bounce back anymore, i think Russell might be the best bet for Merc to try the experimental setups on Yeah that's something I don't understand with Hamilton leaving the team why not put the experiments on Russell's car...

FormulaFun

Not a fan of the swap

FormulaFun

So the rookie who has never driven on the track before ends up P3 also unlike several other drivers including his teammate was able to keep his car on track not spreading gravel all over the place. Antonelli finished 6 tenths quicker than his teammate Bearman but to be fair to Bearman he would have...

Watching the race. I'm curious to know what you saw? Magnussen was quick enough to pass Tsunoda (all be it illegally) before he started his go slow. It's not like Ricciardo was doing anything with the car either. Well, I saw Tsunoda flying by Magnussen with DRS help on the straight but Magnussen re...

FormulaFun

Tsunoda definitely has improved in terms of pace, tyre management and consistency, but his race craft right now is very weak for a driver in the midfield. Yeah he is currently quicker than either of Ricciardo and Lawson but they would be more likely to convert his grid starts into points The proble...

FormulaFun

How did Magnussen cheat in his post-penalty duel with Tsunoda? What rules did he broke? And yes, it is my impression that Tsunoda is more involved in collisions, offs, and accidents than many other drivers. I also wouldn't say he beat Lawson given the experience difference between them. And, correc...

FormulaFun

What will they do when tsunoda beats him aswell Perez then keeps his Red Bull seat because there is probably no future for Tsunoda at Red Bull, I'm not sure what happens with Lawson, maybe they keep him at RB for a second season if there is no other junior that is ready to step up. If I'm right the...

FormulaFun

None of this has any relevance as to who replaces Hamilton at Mercedes. Please can we avoid turning every thread into a Hamilton vs Verstappen thread. There'll be no more warnings on this thread before it is locked. Hallelujah. Back on topic I am looking forward to seeing how Antonelli does relativ...

FormulaFun

We will have to wait and see. I am very hopeful that Lawson gets a chance this year and if Ricciardo continues to drive as he has done in the last two races, that moment cannot be too far away. There's already rumours that Ricciardo might get replaced by Lawson this year if he can't step things up....

FormulaFun

Probably by luck but that wouldn't be a race where I would consider that Mercedes messed up. Would you care to enlighten us as to which specific race(s) you think Lewis would have had an opportunity to win had Mercedes given him a better strategy? None of this has any relevance as to who replaces H...

FormulaFun

Tsunoda is more so a Honda driver than Red Bull driver that's not some kind of reveal, that being said what clearly is holding him back at this point is his temperament not his speed. Well, we don’t know that. I am hopeful that Ricciardo makes a discrete exit sooner rather than later and that Lawso...

FormulaFun

I know there was one or two opportunities for Hamilton wins if Mercedes had given him better strategies and he might have won in Brazil if not for the collision with Verstappen, I appreciate that non fans could be somewhat oblivious to Mercedes poor strategies and slow pitstops that have been somew...

FormulaFun

There's nothing like another Verstappen vs Hamilton debate to kill a thread is there.

FormulaFun

Like I said just laziness, let the sensors do the work regardless of whether they are doing the job properly. Well, it eliminates the human factor. No system or person is infallible and having both in place will lead to protests. Imagine the sensor indicating movement, but not visible on the camera...

FormulaFun

Can't believe we're in a situation where this requires so much discussion.

FormulaFun

Prepare yourselves for everyone rolling froward on the grid I guess

FormulaFun

Your reference to Germany 2019 not being anything to do with strategy is funny, when Merc put Hamilton on dry tyres as it started raining despite him warning them against it and then when he lost his front wing as a result giving him a 90 second pitstop or whatever it was Not only was Verstappen al...

FormulaFun

Oh man, how do you come up with such nonsense? Look, I know it is hard seeing Perez where he is, but he is simply up against a vastly superior driver. You see Verstappen winning in a Mercedes? I see him winning races, just like he did in 2019 and 2020 against cars that had a larger comparative adva...

FormulaFun

Given recent state of F1 its just as likely they intentionally didn't punish him for commercial reasons

FormulaFun

You can just use both surely. It's a bit ridiculous not to penalise a driver everyone very clearly saw move just because the sensor said he didn't. Although I could definitely see an argument for not penalising the sort of thing Norris did as he gained no advantage and didn't do anything unsafe. so...

FormulaFun

The race was terrible, it's one thing to have a dominant team and a dominant driver but the racing behind was a procession, it seems we are back to dirty air and it being really hard to overtake which these cars were supposed to eradicate, but no the officials have allowed the teams to put things o...

Every day that goes by it seems max to Merc is becoming more likely. For Max to say that he won’t stay at rbr if Marko is let go is huge.

I think Bearman did quite well, Leclerc did superb job splitting the Red Bull's let's hope his brakes work this time maybe he can get the jump on Max and keep the race interesting for 2 laps, though I won't be watching anyway.

I'm sure Horner very much wishes this go away but him stating he wants to move on from it doesn't make it so. It'll continue to rumble on and if the girl feels she's been suspended unfairly then she look at legal options. I think if Ford were p***ed off before then they will be even more annoyed no...
