Re: 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix FP & Sprint Qualy/Race Thread

Hamilton and Merc have obviously cracked in the pressure this year... They had so much luck with Verstappen's DNFs which easily cost him 40-50 pts... As i predicted expecting the gap to be in 30s or 40s when all is said and done.. Verstappen has been just a superior driver this season.. Passing of ...

Re: 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix FP & Sprint Qualy/Race Thread

If the penalty is upheld, I guess this means he starts last! Given how lenient and dumb the FIA have been in recent years with penalties ,specially when it involved championship contenders or future potential golden gooses for their sweet revenue , I would be amazed if they actually act accordingly...

Re: Who will win the Championships?

Verstappen has put one hand on the trophy. Only poor reliability or a terrible pressure weekend for Verstappen will bring Hamilton back into play. If Verstappen has a 15 point lead before Qatar and Abu Dhabi he probably has enough but Red Bull have never, ever had bulletproof reliability . What are...

Re: Who will win the Championships?

As far as Liberity Media is concerned, this GP will be classified as a "huge succes". Either Assen wasn't meeting the requirements to host an F1 or the organisers lacked the financial resources. Should've been a no brainer to race there instead if there was such a demand for a race to be held in Hol...

Can they cancel the session altogether and take Q2 times as the final standings if they deem the current conditions too dangerous?
They can

Hamilton #Blessed
I reckon a Sunday Q3 is on the cards then , unless they can't find a reasonable time slot for that.

Re: Who will win the Championships?

Still think Max Is favourite for the drivers championship. Still has the fastest car in general so can’t see why he wouldn’t build up a lead again. The constructors is a little more unclear. Perez has taken a bit of a dip in form so that could swing either way +1 :thumbup: . I expect a return to th...

So Mercedes are conceding the title I presume? They are concerned with more than one title.

They looked hopeless in both races , Mercedes should be grateful Perez was a bit overambitiou...

Bottas was certainly lucky with Perez's stop. With Red Bull having the advantage and both drivers pitting on the same tyres, I'm not sure Bottas will have passed later.
He deserves a bit of luck coming his way after all the stuff that he's been through so far this season.

Well I can't criticise Bottas, Hamilton was even easier to pass he didn't even try to defend, total strategy fail from Mercedes which lost then the race, pitting Bottas before Hamilton was a total fail.
