Re: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread
RB looked marginally quicker than Mercedes in race pace, but I'm guessing that advantage won't last considering they've only fitted their turbocharged engine overnight. Practice completely meaningless though, especially with the mind games that will be employed here. If we are to read into it, it lo...

Re: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread
Well this has got to be the most anticipated race in a very very long time. Anyone else quite nervous? Can't really see anything other than a Merc win in my view. The form book is strongly in their favour. Only thing Verstappen's got to hope for is if this turbo-charged engine is starting to die. An...

Re: Will Verstappen and Hamilton collide at Abu Dhabi?
The reason I'm worried that we'll see a plausibly defensible move by Max that nonetheless eliminates both him and Hamilton is that based on Saudi he's clearly willing to drive very aggressively, and there's pretty nothing meaningful that's likely to be done about it. None of the penalties on offer ...

Re: What was the weirdest thing from the Saudi Grand Prix
The Hamilton and Verstappen collision to me felt just right, look something that was awaiting to happen. The rules regarding 'let him pass or five seconds' may need some rethinking because this was bound to happen in a way. For me, it was the constant VSC's. I don't think any of the others were that...

Re: 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread
this is a coincidence, but if people don't understand the reason for red flag, then they don't take safety seriously enough. This is very unlikely, but if the same incident occured again, the barrier would not do the same job. Also take note that the same red flag happened when Leclerc crashed in p...

Re: An intentional crash to win the title
If say Max causes a crash and he is stripped of his points, that puts Red Bull 5th in the constructors title, which is good and bad.

It's one thing passing Perez, it's another passing Verstappen. Verstappen generally has a 5 tenth gap on Perez.
Hamilton can't undercut as well it looks here, cooked his tyres. Verstappen can now mirror Hamilton's strategy.
