Formula 1 2020

Looks like they were never interested in taking Stoffel or Esteban for the races anyway, always wanted Hulk

Quite like the idea of covid influencing these last dash driver signings, this is massive for him, with the performance already it does seem racing point probably are in shout to be the 2nd fastest car round here.

Mercedes are so far ahead it's ridiculous now.

Albon is gonna get binned ain't he

[Stinkenzo]

Crofty made a rare good point on Friday. Obviously with COVID the season is sorta skewed but it would be interesting if they switched them back, maybe after Barcelona and see how they perform. As poor as both were/are in the Red Bull, Albon definitely benefitted from a more competitive car on tracks that traditionally suit the car. Albon is just nowhere near the level required for a top car. If he was binned from the Red Bull programme tomorrow no other team would pick him up. Bit like Kvyat, and Giovanazzi with his Ferrari links

[The Horse's Mouth]

This is why they shouldve put Kvyat in last year imo, was hot off his podium and did way better than those two in the second car when he had a chance and he didnt really have much of a reputation to ruin. If they had done this early 2010s when they had a such a mad and deep youth programme it wouldve made more sense. I'd probably switch them tbh, Albon shouldn't have any excuses for being this bad at this stage and its probably worth a roll of the dice.

All that effort to get him ready for FP1 and now this... absolute gutted for him

Bottas has no killer instinct.  He's too nice to be a winner.

[isaidno]

Massive smash for Kvyat. One of the worst places to have a tyre failure.

Well this is a pretty boring race...

[Steve_Walsh5]

First time I’ve watched a full Grand Prix race in years. Has it always been this boring in recent times?

[moore_94]

Finally some action! Tyres getting absolutely shredded everywhere!

[Leicester_Loyal]

A fantastic last few laps!

I’m glad I bothered watching it until the end  

[Zear0]

A very grumpy Max coming up. Played it safe brining him in but he'll be fuming.

Until the end... *Phew*

[StanSP]

Max would have won it had he not pit   

 

Especially given it was known that Hamilton's tyres were blistering.

 

Bottas, Sainz, Kimi, Hamilton all suffered left-front tyre damage.

[foxes_rule1978]

Max could have won without that pit stop... good driving from Lewis to keep the car on the track though 

[isaidno]

Craziest end to a race in ages

[isaidno]

Apparently they're using the soft tyres next weekend.

Think F1 fans have finally overtaken football fans as being the dumbest breed of human out there.

What's sparked this

[Legend_in_blue]

Looked back at that Albon moment again.  It's the sort of move you'd attempt to make on a console racer  knowing full well you're taking out another car with minimal risk to your own. 

 

The guy looks out of his depth to me.  Norris would do a better job in that car.
