That was a very artistic crash from Aitken, to be fair.

Oh my god Russell, Jesus Merc that's disgusting

Asphalt_World · Post by **Asphalt_World** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:20 pm

OK. So on fresh tyres, he can do this.

Bacus · Post by **Bacus** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:20 pm

Is still Merc's race now, but Bottas has the first chance now.

Schermerhorn · Post by **Schermerhorn** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:20 pm

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Perez to win it from the back of the field.

Mercedes team morph into the Honda team once again

TheGiantHogweed · Post by **TheGiantHogweed** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:20 pm

Mercedes are such an awful team in the pit lane and with strategies.

Come on George!

Schumacher forever#1 · Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:21 pm

Russell will have A LOT of pace at least to challenge still

schumilegend · Post by **schumilegend** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:22 pm

I think Russel will win it still

Asphalt_World · Post by **Asphalt_World** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:22 pm

Running out of laps because of the stupid rule of letting lapped cars passed. Why do they deserve to unlap themselves?

F1_Ernie · Post by **F1_Ernie** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:22 pm

What a complete mess, looks like Vowles has taken over the pit crew.

Couldn't agree more

FormulaFun · Post by **FormulaFun** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:22 pm

Now this is where the likes of drivers like Lewis Hamilton make the difference

George can still do this

kleefton · Post by **kleefton** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:23 pm

Bottas should win this now, but Checo is going to make it very difficult I think.

Invade · Post by **Invade** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:23 pm

i walk away for 5 mins and miss everything? How is Russell now behind Bottas?

Pest44 · Post by **Pest44** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:24 pm

What were Merc doing??

I think there testing George in every scenario

Good start check
Lead the race comfortably check

Let’s see if he can race in the pack

I’ll be gutted if he doesn’t win

mikeyg123 · Post by **mikeyg123** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:24 pm

Not all over for Russell. He has the fresh tyres.

I'm annoyed by the safety car because I wanted to see how the midfield battle was going to play out.

exactly

Asphalt_World · Post by **Asphalt_World** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:24 pm

One broken wing to remove from the track and still the safety car is out. Are Mercedes supplying the safety car on the basis that it gets lots of track time?

Aitken crashed bringing out safety. Merc double stacked and mixed up the car tires so had to bring George in a second time. Utter fiasco

Schermerhorn · Post by **Schermerhorn** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:24 pm

Mercedes need team leader LewLew back ASAP.

Schumacher forever#1 · Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:24 pm

I mean, I think it would probably be more cool to see Perez win...

But still horrible horrible luck for Russell

Predict Russell to finish second, Perez first

That's unreal.

OK Russell, let's see what you've got...

Swift91 · Post by **Swift91** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:25 pm

Perez from last to first. What a drive if he can keep it here. But Russell will be quick on the new tyres.

mikeyg123 · Post by **mikeyg123** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:25 pm

Worth noting that I believe the front wing was collected before we lined up behind the safety car.

TheGiantHogweed · Post by **TheGiantHogweed** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:26 pm

safety car and the restart at the end of germany last year was where russel has messed up. He will maybe have to try not to take too many risks.

Asphalt_World · Post by **Asphalt_World** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:26 pm

That's Stroll's tyres ruined.

Asphalt_World · Post by **Asphalt_World** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:27 pm

WHAT A PASS!

FormulaFun · Post by **FormulaFun** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:28 pm

Amazing how nobody has any faith in Bottas to win from his position, tbh says it all about his reputation

Is that Toto's "goodbye" to his team ?

As a Perez fan I've not felt this stressed watching F1 since Brazil 2008.

Bacus · Post by **Bacus** » Sun Dec 06, 2020 6:28 pm

Bottas sucumbed to pressure again.
