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...

Mort Canard

Hamilton, Verstappen, Checo

Checo Perez out in Q2. RBR may have to rely on Gasly and Tsunoda who both advanced to Q3.

Mort Canard

I have to wonder what kind of trouble Leclerc is having. Much slower than Carlos Jr.

Mort Canard

Max, Lewis, Daniel.

Honorable mention to Sebastian.

Mort Canard

So far Danica has exceeded my expectations. She is not doing a half bad job. I agree. Much better than I expected. Strangely enough, her fashion choice leaves me very puzzled... Basic black - fine; shoulder asymmetry - questionable; weird pants legs - just plain weird. Much worse is the (Texas-orie...

Well the race should be good, but I am not looking forward to the David and Danica broadcast.

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...

Hamilton with 4 Redbulls ahead of him and the majority of cars on the same strategy, 3rd will be a very good result. Verstappen, Gasly, and Perez all start on the dirty side of the track. Might be worth something. I am not expecting that Yuki will be much trouble for Lewis to get by. ??? The dirty ...

Mort Canard

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.

Wooohoo! Rain always makes races fun.

Tens of thousands of Belgian racing fans do not agree!!!

Mort Canard

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.

Mort Canard

The point is that it is rare that fatalities have resulted from wheel to wheel contact in F1. Most fatalities are the result of mechanical failures or drivers who lose the car on their own. Could Max or Lewis take each other out in a wheel to wheel racing incident? Absolutely!! Still there is not a ...

Mort Canard

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.

Mort Canard

Last winners at the upcoming tracks.

Turkey - Hamilton - Merc
US - Bottas - Merc
Mexico - Verstappen- RBR
Brazil - Verstappen - RBR
Date TBA- Don't know.
Saudi Arabia - First time race - Might favor Merc
Abu Dhabi - Verstappen - RBR

Historically Formula 1 fatalities have been solo events. Think Jules Bianchi, Ayrton Senna, Roland Ratzenberger, Giles Villeneuve, Patrick Depailler, Mark Donohue, Peter Revson, François Cevert, & Jochen Rindt. As I remember none of them had significant involvement with other cars in their fatal cr...

Actually embarrassed by some of the comments in here.

Mort Canard

I have to say that Fernando Alonso did a much more effective job of holding Max up than Valtteri did today. If not for the rain, Max would likely have finished behind Freddie. I don't know when Merc might be able to get George but I would put him in the car ASAP. Even though he (Valtteri) finished f...

Mort Canard

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.

With effectively no championship now on the line, it's all or nothing for a few drivers. RHR, Pagenaud, arguably Harvey spring to mind.

Mort Canard

All Alex Palou has to do today is finish eleventh or better and the championship is his.

Looks like it should be a good race.

Mort Canard

I have to say that Fernando Alonso did a much better job of holding Max up than did Valtteri Bottas. From Laps 15 thru 25 and laps 38 thru 46 Max ended up marking time behind Freddie.

Mort Canard

Hard to decide on three between Hamilton, Verstappen, Sainz & Norris.

Mort Canard

So, what penalty is normal for cutting the pit lane line? Due to the fact it was so late in the race, a drive-through wasn't possible if that is the norm. I have forgotten. It should be just 5. That is what Hamilton got in germany 2019. Demotes him to 10th then, I think. Probably 91h. Russell was m...

Mercedes tweets: "Good Hunting out there VB"

Looks like Valtteri's mission is to screw with Max today!!!

Mort Canard

Unless Bottas is getting a big cash bonus for playing second fiddle, I can't imagine him sacrificing his own race in helping Hamilton. I expect Bottas to fight aggressively through the field and Verstappen to follow. Bottas is prone to mistakes in the midfield also so it may give Max an opportunity...

Mort Canard

Can you imagine the Red Bull response if two laps under the safety car based on FP2 positions decided the race? Although it would be equitable to repeat the process from Spa, I can't imagine the FIA putting themselves in that position again. Red Bull would probably have no reaction as a certain res...

Bagnaia! Wow that was quite a last few laps.. Can't be many riders who have been passed by MM multiple times in the last few laps of a race and still come out on top.

Mort Canard

As practiced in the US, the blue flag is generally an informational flag that doesn't really have anything with being a lap down. It is simply thrown when the corner worker observes a car about to be overtaken where there is a significant speed differential. Granted that is often the case where a le...

Otmar has spoken some golden words. He said "Lance is one of the most gifted drivers in F1". I admit this is true.... Well he's getting beat by Vettel who I wouldn't have in my top 10, Otmar looking to keep his job methinks. :) Well, Otmar does know which side of the paycheck Lawrence signs on. :nod:

Looks more like data gathering to market to F1 fans than an actual survey.
