Formula 1 2021

Next season's big new rule changes should be very interesting. I reckon Hamilton will give it a season and if the Merc isn't competitive he'll call it a day.

Hamilton has made a lot of errors this season, on the other hand he's outperformed Bottas by as wide a margin as any other year. I do think the merc is a lot harder to drive on the limit this season compared to previous ones thanks to being hampered by regulations changes. I'm sure there will be Hamilton bashers wanting to use it as a stick to beat him with but really this is like 2005 and 2006 when Schumacher lost to Alonso. It's exciting seeing the young drivers starting to come through. Norris and Russel look like the real deal. Russel vs Hamilton will be interesting. Ricciardo got the win at Monza but really Norris has outperformed him over the season. 

The future of British drivers in f1 is bright for the next 15 years at least with those two.

 

Watching them compete for titles with Max and Leclerc for the next decade will be really exciting.

First time since 1995 that 3 brits have qualified in the top 4.

Merc have decided to change a PU to give Bottas a grid penalty so he’ll start 17th with the obvious intention to hold up Max. Really feel for him at this point, Merc are really throwing him under the bus. 
 

Don’t be surprised if he just smashes Max into the wall on Merc orders.

If Max gets by him at the start it'll make them look stupid.

Merc are desperate lmao

[jammie82uk]

Giovinazzi Will start 2 positions higher then he qualified although he has a 5 place grid penalty for a gearbox change

Seems like a pretty solid tactic to me. Russia is a track you can overtake on, so make it as hard as possible for Verstappen to make his way into the points. 

 

Unfortunately Bottas shits himself every time he gets Max behind him so expect him to get by pretty quickly. 

[Asha]

Think Hamilton will still win easily. 
 

Norris 2nd, Ricciardo 3rd

 

Bottas will crash into Max.

Really looking forward to this race. Let's hope it's not a dud! 

[Legend_in_blue]

Max needs some AAAs.

As you were saying.

 

From BBC:

 

“This is going to bad to worse for Lewis Hamilton. There was no defence from Valtteri Bottas against Max Verstappen, it was meek”

[Legend_in_blue]

Bottas is absolutely useless.  

[Zear0]

Yes Lando! Shame we missed that live so we could stare at Max's tyres. 

[Legend_in_blue]

Best race of the season so far?  Certainly in the dry.

Been a great watch so far. I thought I'd jinxed it earlier.

"Top 5 is on Valteri" aged well. 

 

I've been one of his defenders but this has been woeful from him. 

[yorkie1999]

Don’t get why drivers complain about their tyres all the time. It is what it is. Engineer should say, ok we’ll bring you in and put new tyres on , but you’ll be last, how’s that sound

[Legend_in_blue]

This is superb.

[Zear0]

Lando this is a hard watch, keep going!

Serves me right. Got that on a technicality... 

[UniFox21]

Absolutely brilliant race this 

[Asha]

Rain got HAM the win here but ironically has hurt him in the championship!
