Mercedes are starting on mediums as well The writings been on the wall since Mercedes improved in slow corners last year. The only reason last year was remotely interesting is because Ferrari had a warp speed button that enabled them to out qualify and get track position on tracks with long straights

Shake of the head from Verstappen. This Mercedes dominance is shocking - Mercedes deserve all the credit but 2022 can't come soon enough. Every week since 2014 weve heard Toto play down Mercedes chances whilst Ferrari and Red Bull play up theirs. The best thing about today is last year's Mercedes c...

Barring the odd race where the track suited Red Bull or the turbo charged Ferrari, Mercedes have been completely dominant since the hybrids came in The fact they are half a second clear of the next closest competitor (which is their 2019 car) just shows how car dominated the results are as most alre...

Lots of talk about Reb Bull beating Merc in the slow corners. We'll see if that's the case. Toto Wolff has almost become a meme playing down Mercedes' chances. The Mercedes was very good in slow corners last year and looked like it was on rails flying round sector 3 in the Barca preseason test. He ...

Thought both races were boring Only interest in first race was due to the regular appearance of the safety car Second race was boring because knew how fast everyone was due to the previous weekend. I don't find people fighting over the lower points interesting at all whilst Mercedes romp off at the ...

Maybe Renault have evidence Mercedes sold the parts/design rather than it being reverse engineered

Also, I don't think it's salty at all. All teams protest each other if they think the rules have been broken

Zazu

Racing Point claim it was reverse engineered.

Seeing as they didn't protest it last week, maybe Renault have evidence that Racing Point purchased it from Mercedes

Bottas has said he had a problem with his front brake glazing so couldn't push The Mercedes and red bull are obviously very strong in the wet. If you can't get the tyres in the correct temperature range the car just won't work. See it clearly when a car is super fast then next session with more wate...

Sochi selling tickets and insist spectators will be there

Mugello is a great circuit in great setting but barring the main straight F1 cars won't be able to pass or get near each other for the rest of the lap

Pretty much all weather forecasts now have rain forecast for Saturday. Would love to see some chaos leading to a jumbled up grid

Melbourne has just gone back into lockdown for six weeks after 1048 cases in 14days

Wouldn't surprise me if F1 misses 2021 there as well

There was a problem with Hamiltons onboard footage, the grid is always published on race day. If you read the article there was an official notification 97 mins before the race after they'd studied the 360footage. The fact both Red Bull and Mercedes went to P2 and p5 on the grid before the final ste...

Hamilton was .012 seconds from pole last week so doesn't need to sort much of his lap out....

Race was only exciting because of the safety cars. Assuming they sort out the reliabilty comfortable Mercedes 1-2, Red Bull 3-4

Zazu

For those not happy with the safety cars, I will start banging the drum I've been banging for a good few years now. SLOW ZONES are needed, like they have in the WEC. It would solve the problem so easily. Do slow zones work any differently to yellows or double waved yellows? They have the virtual SC

All the Hamilton fan boys whinging

Would have been a disgrace if Hamilton was let passed and took the chequered flag race.

Zazu

Swings and roundabouts. At mexico Verstappen ignored yellows and thought he still had pole due to another fast lap. Ended up getting punished by the grid penalty

Zazu

Anthony Davidson didn't have Hamiltons on board footage for the lap analysis yesterday.

Not sure if that's related but pretty shabby stewards have to be be walked through the crime by a rival team

Bad day so far for Hamilton

Tobacco advertising was banned in June or July that year

Red Bull claim he has driven through 4 yellow flags

Slam dunk penalty

Can anyone explain why Verstappen is starting on mediums? P3 was always the best he could have hoped for and the dirty side of the grid is dreadful here. Best chance of jumping a Mercedes is the start where they've now handicapped themselves

Zazu

I think he'll escape penalty Even if he got sent to the back of the grid he'd still easily finish second. Only thing that will spice up this season is if Hamilton gets a dnf as I think it's going to be incredibly hard for bottas-hamilton to take bigs points off each other when they finish 1-2 most w...

Mercedes with nearly 1 second advantage over a 1.05 lap

A Ferrari out in Q2

Because a car goes through scrutineerning for the first time at the opening race.

In testing they can give legality opinions but no official decision u til now

Not trying to undervalue Stroll but when he's looking so good in the timings, You've to imagine how good the car might be. True. You'd wonder what would happen if you put a Verstappen or Hamilton in that car. Well can just look at last year's results to see what Hamilton would do I'd love merc 1-2,...

Anyway..... In more positive (IMO) news. And to give the topic a vague F1 link - Hamilton lent his support to the BLM protests last weekend.

Double headers will work in MotoGP. They regularly don't choose the race tyre until last minute and a little bit of temperature difference can make a huge difference.
