Re: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread

No idea why people didn't like the Checo defense. He was ahead on track, not being lapped. He had every right to defend and did so without either him or Lewis having to leave the track. That's called F1 racing. Totally agree. He had track position and was entitled to defend. Lewis even complained t...

Re: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread

Regarding the lap one issue, I can't see how RB can complain. All this getting to the apex first, that Horner was on about, it rubbish. If you brake so late that the other car can't stay on track, you're bound to get to the apex first. Lewis had nowhere to go and if he gained a second going off, th...

I am also confused about the decision of the stewards, but on the other hand their reasoning kinda makes sense... Super confused.

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

Regardless of practice times, I can't for the life of me see how Red Bull and Max can beat Merc at this venue. Max is clearly the underdog in this fight now. RBR have no more pace to offer, and it hasn't been good enough in recent races. It will require luck or a stroke of tactical genius

Welcome to the high speed procession on a karting track. A hopeless track for overtaking. Give this circuit another year under the new regs and scrap if it's no better
