Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
What a pass, Bottas is a deadman driving at this point
Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
ahh Russell's got this one. I made the mistake of letting myself hope Stroll would be at least somewhat effective.

Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
Bottas is on far older tyres though. But that doesn't take anything away from Russell.
Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
Steady George.....
Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
Hmm Russel isn't making too many inroads on Perez. and 12 short laps to go
Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
Whatever happens Russell has driven a superb race and I think guaranteed himself a Merc drive for 2022.
Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
looks like Checo is going to get his first win.

IDK I'd rather see Perez win, despite the fact it should really be George's

If Russell can get withing DRS range with two laps to go, he will win.

This race is insane 

You’re not in a fight until there’s pressure. Resistance. Overcoming something. Otherwise, it’s just an exhibition.

Bottas tyres are well old

Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
If Russell had been wearing Lewis Hamilton's helmet would anyone have been able to tell there was a difference?

Is Bottas giving up his team position to Russell ?

Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
BTW....why the heck didn't Mercedes bring Bottas back in on the next lap - like they did to Russell - and onto the correct tyres?

Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
Wont even walk away with any points as a consolation. Gutted for Russel.

Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
So after all of his good efforts Russell is still going to end up without a point. Terrible luck.

Well Bottas beat Russel...
Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
Mercedes shot themselves in the foot with the double stacking I think.

I can't feel any pleasure in Perez winning, although I will in time. It just feels so bad.

That can't happen unless he also scores a championship point.

Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
IF he wins it will be fortuatus for Perez but lets not forget he was last after lap 1 and he would have been third without the good luck. It's been an incredible drive from his.
Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
Interesting to think if Lewis was driving today what may be different. Or not.
Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
Perez pulled out 10 seconds on a man his team mate can't keep up with either.
Re: 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix Race Thread
Looks like there is a chance he can get in there and get some.

Meanwhile Albon in the middle of nowhere - that's it now surely it's Perez in the Red Bull next year and Albon back in the Tauri
