I’ve got Sky on but wasn’t watching properly. Why did George Russell just count back from 100 in 3s?
He's playing a smart game in fairness. Alex needs the support, and Red Bull and Horner gain nothing from any negative criticism. I'm sure behind the scenes Horner is thinking more harshly about the situation and will be keeping an eye on other drivers.TheGiantHogweed wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 1:50 pmHorner will defend him and say he did a fine job probably!

His tyres may have been a lot quicker that Stroll's, but his time was almost identicle. And it has to be said, Stroll was lucky that Albon didn't improve. Racing point don't look as stong here. I think Red Bull are certainly the 2nd best car this time out.
To us, sure. For him, it means someone is still breathing down his neck if he even drops off 1% from maximum performance. I'm honestly at the point now where I have to start pointing the finger at the other teams for not doing a good enough job. Red Bull and Ferrari both have enough money to directly challenge Mercedes on that front yet one team chose to develop their engine down a less than legitimate path to compete while the other are still chasing the high rake concept when the regulations have definitely shifted towards the Mercedes concept.Schumacher forever#1 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:16 pmHamilton like, it doesn't matter there's such a gap between us and third cos Bottas is pushing me. Like bro, it kind of does lol
I definitely agree. Red Bull and Ferrari haven't stepped up. Hamilton and Mercedes are dominating it at the moment, and there's no point in downplaying it.Flash2k11 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:25 pmTo us, sure.

Ferrari have really annoyed me, you've only got to look at where Leclerc is today to see just how good that chassis must be with an engine that is probably 2 years down on development compared to the rest.... The reason Merc are walking it is because the others continue to drop the ball.
Let's wait and see, in fact let;s look at the facts until now..kleefton wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:20 pmI support Albon but I have to admit he is slower than Gasly. Redbull needs to get serious and get some experience in that second seat. Hulkenberg or Perez would both be a sound choice. They need someone to help steer them in the right direction. Right now they’re just going backwards.
I was impressed with the ferraris. TheIr chassis isn’t god awful. They are just lacking a lot of power it seems.
Hulkenberg will be closer to Stroll next race. It likely takes time to get up to speed in a new car, new team and after being out for so long.
Clearly shows that none of the two is up for the job.mpls2 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:31 pmLet's wait and see, in fact let;s look at the facts until now..kleefton wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:20 pmI support Albon but I have to admit he is slower than Gasly.

Let's look at the facts

China 62 secs behind Max
Azerbaijanan previous lap
Spain 12 secs behond Max
Monaco 4 secs behind Max
canada Gasly finishes on previous lap
Franxe - Gasly finishes on prevous lap
Austria Gasly Finishes on previous lap
Great Britain Gasly in front
Albon in RBR

hungary Finishes on previous lap to Max
Belgium 8 secs behind Max
Italy - 15secs behind Max
Sungapire 8 secs behind Max

Abu dahbi 48 secs behind Max
Austrian - On for a win - agaon spun out by Lewis..
styrian finishe 11 secs behind max
Hungary finishe 70 secs behind Max
You can’t just look at the end results and make a decision on that imo. The Austrian gp was only going to be an Albon win because of all those safety cars. If you just focus on pace, he was destroyed by Max. The reason I believe he is slower than Gasly is because of his relative speed to kvyatt. Albon was really as fast as kvyatt at TR. Gasly is clearly quicker. The reason Albon seems to be performing better is that he is a superior oVertaker an he takes more chances. But he’s too slow unfortunately and the lack of experience is another problem.mpls2 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:31 pmLet's wait and see, in fact let;s look at the facts until now..kleefton wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:20 pmI support Albon but I have to admit he is slower than Gasly.

While I don't think it would be a better option, I almost wonder Kvyat going back to Red bull wouldn't be any worse than either of the latest drivers they have had. I myself thought there wasn't really anything to choose between Kvyat and Albon at Toro Rosso. Kvyat with more experience and a 2nd chance may pay off. But they need to stop going for such young and inexperienced drivers and then ruining their careers.kleefton wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:43 pmYou can’t just look at the end results and make a decision on that imo.
