Tomorrow should be a great race, atleast going by the grid formation!

Do you really want to have Stroll and Verstappen together at the first corner ?

What’s the forecast for tomorrow? I assume if it’s wet like today we’ll get massive gaps between the drivers again which won’t be great but still will be good fun to see who can keep it on track.

Don't forget it's an early start tomorrow for the GMT folks!

Verstappen has to be favourite, he's been the quickest all weekend, I think Hamilton has a shot at a podium.

I'm a Hamilton fan but i'd love Stroll to win this. The kid has taken a lot of criticism, some justified but mostly just because of how he got his drive in F1. He has shown pace at times but does suffer from inconsistency. Would be nice to see him put together a great winning race.

I've got a feeling Bottas year could be over by turn 2..... tyre warm up issues on a track like ice while starting slap bang in the middle of the field is a recipe for disaster. Can see more tears for Max too if he gets racey with Stroll at the start.

It’s starting to rain again which might mean those who switch the tyres on run away from the field (Red Bull and RP) but you’re right that it could chaotic!

Giovinazzi in the wall on the way to the grid.

Should be a comfortable win for Verstappen

Race control will start this one behind the safety car sadly. No way do they have the balls to let the drivers run in conditions that are tricky.
Which is daft as they can't get up enough speed to hurt themselves.

Starting from the pitlane will ne no bad thing.

Now it's wet I make Stroll the favourite. He's good in the wet and should have a good package for it.

It's going to be a long race in these conditions. Anyone could win this today, it only takes one mistake ro ruin your chances. It's got a feel of Hockenheim 2019.

Looks like an "ordinary" start ( with a pile up at the first corner ).

Should Verstappen be penalised for not keeping up with Stroll ?

This is great. Slow, but great. They're earning their money.

i think bottas has spun twice

Vettel: not bad for a "washed up bum"
Re: 2020 Turkish Grand Prix Race Thread
Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:20 am
well, bottas's first spin is a bit more understandable given he had to react to ocon spinning. but he didn'd recover well.

Vettel driving well
Re: 2020 Turkish Grand Prix Race Thread

It looks like Max is faster than Vettel in the corners and under braking, but he can't accelerate as quickly so keeps dropping back.

Vettel is holding Verstappen up - with no DRS it is very difficult for Verstappen to pass.
Racing Point are superb.

You'd think Stroll has this in the bag but it's only lap 14!

Is there a logical reason why all marshall posts don't have jacks and trolleys to put under cars? If they had these, they could spin cars round and wheel them out of trouble in not time at all. This forward, backward, forward, backward, 100 point turn, it painful.

well, a lot of evidence today that bottas is pretty weak in these conditions. although hamilton is proving the car is a real handful.

Max's lack of patience again. Why would you try to go down the inside there?

Imagine an Albon win!!!!! It could happen.

Would be hilarious if Albon wins. Would be a mega confidence boost for him.

i think the most impressive drivers this race so far have to be stroll and especially vettel.

I think we may have just witnessed why Max may never become a World Champion. Possibly the fastest driver in the pack, lacking the mental aptitude.

Racing drivers, like boxers, always revert to type when the pressure is on.
Mad Max returns.
