not seen anything about the trace point investigations was exspecting to see something for this weekend
Na they already said realistically they have an answer at monza
Hey
Weather looking boring and dry for the whole weekend ☹️
Better then washed out. lol
At least rain would make it interesting
Naaaah. They will most probably only race if the rain is at intermidiate tire level. And thats not that interesting.
But you can bet how many times Latifi spins
Not this chat
So, british grand prix
Soon see who has their race game on!
I see a ham, Ver and bottas
lets hope rb improve xD
If the unexpected doesn't come
I hope so too.
RB bringing upgrades
Upgrades that are actually upgrades though
Hopefully doesn't turn out to be downgrades instead
Yeah. It also has to be good for you as HAM fan. Cause just being far better is not very fun lol
I want to see some surprises.
This track is quite demanding though
landos lid is cool i like his idea of having kids design his lids for the season
still half exspecting a pumkin at somepoint from him
Danny Ric's helmet is my favourite
Can't wait until Friday!!!
British weather may give us some ☀
Need to predict the unpredictable though.
Perez with a dodgy covid test is in quarantine
@upbeat wedge are serious? This is going to be a disaster. I can't go through another F1 break 😩
He's the only person to not get the all clear awaiting results of the 2nd test
Do you think he will just get a DNQ or DNF and the race goes on without him?
At least for this weekend, Vandoorn can prolly take over his seat since he is Merc’s reserve driver
But from next weekend I think FormulaE has 6 consecutive weekend races so not sure who will drive
I think the other reserve driver for Merc was Esteban Gutierrez so he is an option as well, although his super license is expired so he needs to run 300km during FP to be eligible for entering race
Here you see who could replace who, in case of an infection
Yep
Perez really?
🤦♂️
I hope F1 don't cancel on us, highly doubt it
Never know though, this covid is rampant
So basically no one will race for Racing Point 2nd seat because of Formula E
They'll dig someone up for the weekend to drive
This happened at Melbourne after a mechanic tested positive.....
That's what I'm aware of, then again, they know more on the virus now then before
I'm already pissed that Newcastle are not Arab and now this crap 😫
Hopefully it doesn't result in an full lockdown.
I saw that lol 😂
Arabs pulled out!
Tired of british nonsense
How do you exchange and yet so far in you still can't close on a deal lol 😂
I don't have football to watch and now f1 is in the balance 🤬
England is terrible at negotiations
Exchanging contracts is somewhat far in a negotiation process
Well Stavely will have her revenge in the court case against Barclay's board members so eye for an eye. Apparently it wasn't going to be approved because of Saudis piracy on EPL and human rights..so this is most definitely a weird one because Man City have a high ranking Arab as an owner
Where you from@jaunty cave
South Africa
@rocky kraken you know quite alot about Barclays and English football for an SA, somewhat impressive.
Did IGSCE and IB...guess was the friend I had
Vettel might jump in for the weekend lol
Haha funny
Ohh no
🤦♂️
Shocker!
I hope its not called off tomorrow!
Anyone know what the likely alternative could realistically be
That tag doesnt work for you @oblique granite
But they said it will not impact the race is in silverstone itself
Great! Tomorrow is free practice, hopefully no one else catches it
Anyone know what the likely alternative could realistically be
@jaunty cave Gutierez Teaserd on his dc
But aüperentöy he doesnt have 300km he has to drive
Yeah but gutt would be on track anyways as reserve driver
Since stoffel has FE stuff
Yep
Im too lazy to check the actual article but looks like autosports.com is saying Hulk will drive for Perez
@jaunty cave
AAAAAA IT'S BOTTAS @noble grove
You are Bottas? Im Al Pacino!
Hello
Seems they'll go with the Hulk, incidentally it's Hulk's best shot at a podium in years 😂
Only for it to be taken away cause of the RP being deamed illegal
@jaunty cave what do mean deemed illegal? Brake ducts???
The Renault Protest. And yes i think they were mainly about brake ducts
Rip Message
yea i saw it was posted above lol
hope we actually see the results of the protest and not just sudenly see rp lacking pace or something
Hulkenberg driving perez car
Im so sad that Perez is Positive on
COVID-19
:-p yeah he already drove the first free practice
British Grand Prix!!!
Home is always where the heart is, no matter how unpredictable the weather is lol 😂
Ver Sticking RB first on the softer tyres on first practice, should we be taking anything serious from that?
did F1 post FP1 highlights yet
wow guess Nico needs a bit of time to get used to the car before qualifying
FP1 numbers and statistics mean absolutely nothing
only FP you really can get something of a read is fp3, when they start doing qualy runs
if you look more indepth in micro-sectors lo
😂 what
On the soft and your teammate is first
that's just laughable, saying that after FP1 mate
the Lando helmet is awesome
only thing we can tell from FP1 is that the Alfa Romeo looks wobbley
times, data, tyredata and such we can say nothing about
since we know nothing about the setups
the trims
if theyre testing new parts
fuel loads
etc etc
and even then, saying the same thing over and over again (RB is in trouble) because of the same reason (#2 driver is quite a bit off in pace compared to verstappen) gets a bit boring as well
All we should do is focus on how the Hulk performs. He will be marking better lap time in FP2 &3, getting our expectations for his first podium high, then to only see him not on the podium as usual, extending his record 😂
Sometimes missing the obvious and acting oblivious to it ends up creating more reasons to their lack of pace.
We'll see though Albon has switched to a more experienced engineer, Simon rennie stepping in.
We'll see if that makes much of a difference.
For him I hope it does - at least to prevent stuff like 2 weeks ago happening, being released too late etc
How long do you reckon it will take until ferrari are out of WC race
they already are
only merc is in title race this year
and next year probably as well lol
So there racing as exhibitions instead
well it's not like p2 in the WCC doesn't earn a good buck lol :-p
but in the end all brands which are in F1 are in it because of marketing
👍
You actually start to realise how powerful marketing is
How much revenue that contributes to their income.
Ferrari have the Italian government backing them
Yep, there's some great marketing examples which has imprinted stuff in our brain
Profiting from them I'm sure lol
If I ask you to think of a Soda
the chances are quite big you're thinking of Coca Cola
No team profits from F1, but they profit from the revenue their brand makes, where F1 also contributes to
Heck, coca cola went as far that when you think of Christmas, you associate it with a big red truck animation (coca cola truck)
Il y a des français ?
Hahah albon
Scared of what?
Why do you have a blue eye Max? Uhh I fell down the stairs
Imagine creating a brand so influential your whole nation gov supports you
That's ferrari
Quite remarkable.
What we seen from couple of years ago, it's more likely that Grosjean will come back with a black eye vs Grosjean lol
Remember Verstappen VS Ocon?
😂
I think all these teams have that @jaunty cave
RB: supported by Austrian Gov
Merc: Germany, maybe GB as well?
McLaren: UAE, maybe GB as well?
Interesting, when alonso was driving for them in 08
OK... That's recent
Off topic; it's nice to see that Arabs finally launched Spaceship to Mars
Forbes did an article back in Sept. 2018 reporting that 6 of 10 F1 teams received $150 million (£122 Million) from the UK government since 2012...🤔
I think also 6 teams have their HQ in the UK I believe right? Merc, RBR, RP, Haas (?), Mclaren and Williams
Here’s the 6 I found: Williams, RB, Renault (!), Merc, McLaren, and Racing Point....
UK tax payers money funding half of F1
I found the article and it said: “The payments were made by the British government’s Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) scheme which rewards companies making technological advancements. It is designed to reduce their tax bill but if they have no tax to pay, the government gives them cash.”
Here’s the 6 I found: Williams, RB, Renault (!), Merc, McLaren, and Racing Point....
@sweet trail Renault was ofcourse the Lotus F1 team back then - so that makes more sense
Haha
Unbelievable, "technological advancement" that's used on karting circuit for a karting circuit
😄
Well F1 is a major contributor for technological advancement in the automotive lol
I'm writing to my MP about this. lol
Are they? I thought Elon was the last I checked. Lol
Elon?
Yeah tesla does much for more autonomous vehicles
but regular vehicles and fuel vehicles and stuff thats more pushed from f1 teams lol
I support it, you should incentive ingenuity
And increase the innovation rate.
One of the ways humans keep on moving forward and not backwards
yeah most 'rich' countries have things like this
What's up guys eh!
@leaden copper salut oui ya un discord Francais si tu veut je tinvite
Tu peut m’inviter stp @timid dragon
Hello! I saw that perez is positive with covid and hulkenburg will replace him. Will the points of hul and per be combined for the standings?
For individual and constructors standings
For constructors any points earned will count to Racing Point but any points Hulk earned will count for himself not Perez
Full Legend Crates 👀
Full wrong chat
Как поменять ник?
делать / ник
I love seeing ham do what ham does lol 😂
Silverstone looking cold af... me 90 miles away enjoying the sun
Ham wants to stay in the sport for another 3-5 years. I think after that he should retire
I can't properly play the game
This is F1 chat!
Sorry ☹☹
Max performed great on Hungary
He hit the wall
But still managed to get in the top
super max
😂😂
i missed the last race weekend and i hate myself for it
Ham has proven everything that needs to be proven hopefully by then. He should look to chair on the board
this weekend for sport is great though! im not leaving my desk lmao
Lol
yeah i see Ham working closely with Toto or being on commentary in 5ish years
I don't think he should work with Toto, what for?
I'm speaking of chairing the board of F1.
ahh, i thought you were on about him working on the mercedes team after retirement
but honestly think commentary wil be likely
No need to. I think he should stay in F1, take a more senior role for the industry.
I understand why people are not a fan of him.
yeah it would be good for him to take a senior role in the company but i just see sky sports giving him an offer he can not refuse
His lifestyle, I'm not a fan of either.
😂 Sky sports giving a multiple WC a job.
Funniest thing I've heard all day.
He grew up like an hour away from me so around here if you say anything bad about him its blasphamy
after retirement they will offer him work on documentarys and commentary because hes a WC
sky sports have given multiple world champs in multiple sports jobs after they retire
He grew up in my county, Hertfordshire.
yeah, im from London so its pretty close
He has no business being on Skysports
As I said, he should be looking at chairing on the board of F1.
yeah and as i said, sky sports will offer him a lot of money to pressent for them
i agree he SHOULD go for a senior role on the board of f1, however i think its more likely he will work at sky sports as they tend to take popular world champions from other sports to provide coverage
while paying them a very handsome purse
gonna be a really interesting quali
Really impressed with Stroll
Making his Dad proud I'm sure.
He could have a chance on the podium today
Stroll has really impressed me so far
Perez not holding back on Vettel signing. Seems its a done deal.
Anyone know where Perez likely to go if RP decides to release him next year.
do renault have a seat as Ric is leaving?
They're putting a 39 year old Spaniard in the Renault
Mercedes in P1-P2 again 👀
Anyone know where Perez likely to go if RP decides to release him next year.
@jaunty cave Speculating some Haas switchero
@jaunty cave interesting.
@livid hazel he is competitive though.
He knows how to win.
Most on the grid are speculative.
Give alonso a competitive car, its game on!
The thing I like about Alonso is he rarely will distinguish his performance from the car. He drives the wheels off of any car given.
Give him a Toyota he'll drive the car as though he is in a ferrari or a Merc.
Yeah he's always been quality, I'm just not sure if he will still have his edge after 2 years out, and the last few years he was racing the only thing he did was whine about his engine. Hope he still has the pace tho
I think its great for the sport. If he doesn't, as fans, we'll quickly notice and as a driver, he'll notice.
Ocon I'm hoping shows him the business though
Ocon is highly underrated. He should be in the Merc
Mercedes seriously need to consider that driver.
I would go so far as to say Ocon is on a similar level to Max in terms of pure race craft.
Highly underrated Driver, I like his aggression behind the wheel.
Another spin for latifi 😂
Is latifi the new grosjean?
Wow... over 1 seconds faster
Ham spun!
That would make for a great race
Hope he has a bit of dmg so his times arent good
That means bottas will come back in pts and championship will be more exciting
Ferrari is so bad
Albon misses out on q3
Albon 🤦♂️
RIP Albon
With the same resources and the same tools, yet your teammate goes 3rd and you qualify 12th.
Ocon needs to be in the Merc
In 2023
RBR will find it tremendously tough to compete with one Bull at the top.
Bottas pole?
Bottas is better than ocon imo lol

The year on the bench for ocon did too much damage to him
Vettel doing much better
The gap... its insane
New track record
Vet over 2 seconds slower😂
I wish Norris was in that Merc instead of bottas
What an insane lap! 2 laps improved for pole. Sensational
Oof 1 sec between merc and rb
Kvyat needs to teach Bottas how to torpedo
Quality! Can't wait until tomorrow
Pls pls pls have Bottas run into Ham in the first lap.
@delicate lintel please please please
That doesn't take anything away from his race craft
Vettel please get released into Hamilton tomorrow after pitting
Wow that merc is a demon. Wish Grosjean was in that merc
Can anyone imagine Hammie in a
Lmao Grosjean will still complain about brakes in the merc. And also say it’s Erikson’s fault
Lmao I'm so funny
Verstappen is no exception
Lol
😂 😂
They are all in danger of getting lapped tomorrow and being brought back to 🚸
No
I think Vettel will take a merc out tomorrow, let's all pray🤲
They certainly are. A second in front
The only way they won't get lapped if ham doesn't go flat out or safety car.
I’m gonna pray Ocon takes out Ham when he is getting lapped
Lmao it is not about Ham it is about the car
Not if mad max can attempt to do it first
@delicate lintel holy crap I laughed so hard, I'm praying with you
Lol
Most teams on that grid will be relying on things that cannot control tomorrow to bring them into contention.
@jaunty cave its always about the car when it's a merc
@jaunty cave its always about the car when it's a merc
@rocky kraken Not saying Ham is bad, he surtainly is good. But his driving is not 2sec faster then the rest it is his car.
Well not if you pull out 3 tenth off of your team mate driving the same car
Might as well give everyone the same car lol
@jaunty cave yeah I guess this is what happens when I put my car into race mode from dynamic ,2specs faster to my house
If tomorrow plays nice and no safety car, they're all potentially getting lapped
Haha
But not because of HAM driving
Of course by hams driving. What are you watching? Haha
Did you not see the time sheet haha
Someone pull up the time sheet please.
I think Hamilton is doping. #LanceArmstrong
Everyone in the same car and he wont lap more thatn 50%
Well that wouldn't be racing if they all drove the same car lol 😂
I don't think fans would want to see everyone in the same car
Haha
Atm i would rather see everyone in the same car then the merc beingbetter then everyone
Well you're only one fan. I like all teams to innovate
Same car would mean driver skill and tyre Choices would determine the best
Same car would mean driver skill and tyre Choices would determine the best
@rocky kraken Yeah
Not drive the same car because others are pants haha
Well you're only one fan. I like all teams to innovate
@jaunty cave I bet there are alot of others that are fed up at merc CARS Dominating the Hybrid era
The same was said about schumacher in his era
didnt watch F! at that time lol
Should they have given everyone a ferrari
Yes
Come on! Have a logical argument
Let's give them all Toyotas for 2023
Yes, it's boring because hams dominating. He is the best driver with a team that is currently leading.
Maybe there innovation rate is much higher then the rest.
Not the fastest in a Toyota though
But to say give everyone the same car doesn't create innovation.
But it is not HAM wich makes the team so good it is the car
I thought you'd know that lol
Well that's not entirely true.
Yes it does, cutting your hair and shaving is technically innovating
Innovation isn't great to watch tho
He pulled 3 tenth of his team mate who is driving the same machine.
If the mercs weren't in it it would be an immense race tomoro
The same was said about schumacher in his era
@jaunty cave I looked at 2003 Silverstone times. No 2sec difference
Bottas didn't shave🥱
Also MSC didn't have the best car for all his titles, Hamilton has
You simply don't want to admit hams the best because your not a fan lol
We get it! Lol
Your not admiting that the Merc is just fast xD
Well I gave you my argument haha
The fastest
Dude the beard weighs him down
Is it still the cars fault lol
😴
Be prepared to see verstappen get lapped by God's speed tomorrow
He is good, thats why he is infront of bottas, but not good enough to pull 2sec of VER just with driving
He'd never pull 3 tenths on max in the same car
Hahaha
Tbh i wouldnt discuss about this with daniel
Gio wouldn't be that far behind in a merc
In his eyes lewis is god, max is demigood
And thats fine
But its only annoying to discuss with
Yeah Daniel
Hahaha I'm presenting the facts
Nah mate youre presenting your opinion as facts
Dazzler what you said about albon hasn't proved to be the case.
Tell him Dazzy
Thats not the same thing, noone here will deny hamilton is a great driver
But the way you are worshipping him is something else
I'd say great but untested
Great 
xD
You claim Albon can compete as a WC haha yet today we've seen again the failings of Albon ability.
What is your excuse this time?
Cos king hammy has knocked albons confidence
Hamilton right now probably is the best driver on the grid in the best machine
And cost him a probable win and a podium
He has the same machine as Ver yet cannot qualify into Q3
Its notbreally our excuse to make innit @jaunty cave :')
And im giving you a valid answer
No clue, hasnt been reported much yet about albon what happened there
Do you still think Albon is a worthy contender?
Let's discuss
because his the real deal
Noone exept the Merc drivers were
Let's discuss
because his the real deal
@rocky kraken I am stupid, i am stupid
In my opinion, this is F1. His performance today was unacceptable
I think he is worse then gasly
How many times has he outperformed max?
@rocky kraken I am stupid, i am stupid
@jaunty cave I know you are
Do you still think Albon is a worthy contender?
@jaunty cave no clue, like mentioned before he has shown his talent before, its weird its not showing right now. I think none of the 2nd drivers rb has at their disposal are good enough rn
@jaunty cave I know you are
@rocky kraken Lmao
But honestly, we dont see the data
So we have no clue what happened until a statement is made
@chrome matrix That's my point. They are not good enough. A few weeks ago you didn't say that.
The car of RB is having problems. Both drivers said that.
Leclerc and Verstappen were the only other drivers to win last year
Yeah Redbull ring
Cannot rely on solely on the carm it takes a great driver to extract everything from the machine
He has not extracted nothing
What data can you analyse when you don't make it in the top 10 and your team mate goes 3rd.
And the car had no issues to begin with.
@jaunty cave covid is affecting him mentally
He is simply not a contender.
A few weeks ago it was too early to jump to conclusions is what I said
= 💩
Yet, you still believe he is a contender smh 🤦♂️
= 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩
In my view I think RB has a good car I think one of their drivers are not good enough
So we have no clue what happened until a statement is made
Can you read? Anyways I like my discussions more neutral instead of a heavily biased discussion, have a good one
That affects the data that goes back to the team which consequently affects the innovation.
@chrome matrix yeah he wants to make tea with Hamilton toenail clippings
And the car had no issues to begin with.
@jaunty cave Of course both Drivers said it had problems xD
I like to be objective with my discussion.
Lmfao
Present the facts, make your case and your conclusion
I'm still yet to see a good performance from Albon. I'll wait though until RB has had enough of him and like gasly demote him.
Surprisingly
...
But who should replace? Kvyat is even worse then gasly
That's the issue, RB in my view knows that
So they stick with Albon, they will not go and say albon is terrible it will crush his confidence
Who is the best team principal?@jaunty cave @jaunty cave @chrome matrix
But performance wise he doesn't have what it takes
This is F1. You get paid alot of money to win.
Not for the team to consistently tell fans he has potential
He should be in F2 using such rhetoric
I don't want to hear his potential. I want to see it deliver and being ahead of your team mate, if not matching it and nothing less.
Albon is pretty much practicing his race craft in F1 and being paid for it in my view, not bad.
Who is the best team principal
@rocky kraken the one with the best car and drivers, rn its wolff
What about Frank Williams
Max makes everyone afraid of him.
He is a tough opponent to be with.
Riccardo should be there, but the truth is Max destroyed him mentally.
Dan you want to join my server about F1?
If those drivers are not better then Riccardo you can forget it.
I think best case scenarip for rb would be if vettel returns home
@noble grove I don't know much about it
I think that would be the best alternative, how will Vettel take losing to max
He is a tough cookie max
I think Albon just had a bad weekend imo
I can see why RB are behind Albon. No one wants to take that drive next to max
RB is not a mid team,
So I cannot agree with that
You gotta realize that Max is one of the fastest drivers in F1
You cannot have a bad weekend like that when your competing to win
@jaunty cave I sent an invite
Also it is possible that Max understands the car better than Alex since he has more experience
They get feedback from the drivers, the drivers implement that feedback its a constant loop
If one driver is parking it 3rd and your parking it 12th with no issues to begin with. That's alarm bells ringing
@noble grove I agree, but he has been in the team long enough. They surely share data. Albon mentality must be eroding surely
Similar thing with Gasley. Cannot keep making excuses.
They need a 2nd driver and they need it quick.
And it all started with that crash in Austria
@noble grove what with ham?
Ya, destroyed his confidence
Then he is weak minded
He was basically crying in the post race interview
You won't win anything if your too sensitive to things like that.
@noble grove bro where's Bottas
@noble grove okay so is Vettel taking you chair next year?
@noble grove wow because your dad owns the team???> Maybe Checo's
@noble grove
Can you say Wazzup to Leclerc for me?@noble grove
Ya m8
How's some free merchandise @noble grove
I can't hook you up as I'm not even an F1 driver
So impressed with Lance
Yes, he is a paid driver
However, I think he really wants to do well in F1
Yep, Lance has real talent
I'm yet to see it, I think he he can have a good skill though
And it's showing
Making it into the top 10 again. Challenging with the big boys
And is becoming more consistent in races
I think he has a real possibility at podium tomorrow.
And better qualis
Yes I agree, that is what I like. That consistency
Ya but max is fast
I agree, however max makes mistakes
Unless Stroll can make up places in the first lap like he always does
And if RP get it right they can capitalise off that
However, Max is a fighter, so you need to know how capitalise and get rid of the threat permanently.
That maybe challenging for RP especially with hulkenburg lower down the grid.
It'll be a battle worth watching though. I hope Lance finishes further up the grid, 4th I'd be happy with.
Vettel had a shocker!
Is he doing it on purpose?
Albon reason for Quali Performance "We tried the medium tires. It wasn't a terrible lap, but it wasn't great either. I made a few mistakes on that lap, so I knew I could go faster. At that point you have to consider whether to take the risk with the medium tire or play safe with the soft tire."
"We chose the soft tire. I can't really explain that last lap too much. We didn't extract the lap and that was it. It wasn't by much, but we should've been a little higher than we were in the end."
Make of it what you will. In my opinion, this guy will eventually get demoted. Not fit for purpose!
Albon=💩
Lmfao
Every weekend he has a new excuse its becoming comical.
Albon=💩
if Gasly or Kyvat finish ahead of Albon then One of them should be in the #2 RB next week. Period.
#Perezforrb2021
lol thts a good idee never considered that
That would be Albon career in 🔥
RBR will surely be thinking about it. If Perez can finish above him this season, that's worth pursuing. What he can bring to the team would be immense in knowledge and experience.
I only hope for people to use this channel for its right purpose
Guys predictions for silverstone
Bottas P1, Verstappen P2, Leclerc P3@red raven
S🅱️in for HAM?
Thor dreams big lol
Odds are high@cedar rock I'm taking bets
Lol
I'm expecting ham to unleash Gods Speed today and at the same time expecting Ver to become Mad Max, hopefully in the opening laps 🍿
Its that very speed which will help him spin out while Albon attempts an attack. Boom 💥 both off the track. Safety car > Bottas wins > Hamilton accuses Hulkenbergs mask for the spin out
Wishful thinking always tickles the mind lol
Albon attack from his p11 start lol ya right
Good luck to Albon lol
@cedar rock £100 bet bro ,tomorrow your rich
Ver is 22 🤦♂️
RB is busy fitting a Tractor wing to his car. Watch the speed
Haha
Albon will be lucky to see the top 3 maybe only as they lap by him lol
At 27 he'll be in the sport for a decade.
Lmao
It'll be awful if he doesn't win a title by then lol
How long is his new contract with RB for?
On a serious note I think Vettel will do some serious racing today. I think he is over his dramatics with Ferrari and he needs to prove his better than Perez otherwise his out of a seat 2021
I read his there till 2023
@cedar rock haha, 😂 😂
I think Vettel will make it into the top 5, if he can have a clean race.
Definitely betting he will outclass lecterc today
Binotto caused this on himself though.
Cannot sack a driver before the season starts
A dummy could tell you that.
Elkonn needs to fire Binotto his not strong enough to discipline
He pretty much wrote off ferrari season before it started.
Binotto is the best ferrari have atm, I don't think he'll get the boot just yet.
Yeah
If they don't improve by the end of the first season of new regs being introduced, I think by then he is gone.
Italians will have had enough.
hulk is going to be starting from th epit it seams
mclaren
Me too
yea hulk hasnt made it out the pitlane in time
guess we got another weekend of watching a tracing point come all the way through the grid
I’m Canadian so I like stroll but it’s nice to see them higher up on the grid
...
Am I wrong
Ummm
Honestly can't believe the sky sports coverage, saying rosberg was playing games to beat Hamilton, is this still because he locked up at Monaco??
Apperently Hulk looks like he is not starting
Glad I wasted 2 transfers on F1 fantasy getting him back in my team 🤬
...
@jaunty cave yea i seen a pic a min ago looking like his side of the pits being packed up
Sky commentary besides Martin bundle have always been biased lol
I love old brundle haha
Mag out and sc
What u think of albons pass there @jaunty cave
this is going to give austria a run for its money on action at this rate lol
Albon trying to pass when it's not on 😂
Kevin shouldn’t of passed that close rip haas
I didn't think that pass was on tbf
Of course not, he has poor judgement.
Where is hulk
Albion done nothing wrong. He went as far inside* as he can. Kevin tried forcing him off
Kevin was doing what you would do, close the door
He done a Albion in a Albion v Hamilton scenario but didn’t work for him haha
Bottas asleep for the restart and the mercs already gone 😂
Croftys had 1 too many red bulls this morning needs to calm down
Because he's ruined his tyre
Well that’s basically how the race gonna end, There’s your winner and podium
Torpedo don't like maggots/Beckett's
ud think hed be great at the high speed stuff lol
Oooofff hard crash kvyat
That was a big one
How long before Hamilton complains the safety cars going too slow
should get hamilton to do safty car for a race so he can see how hard it is to go anyfaster
Yep hard to drive the car
wonder if we will get a 3rd safty car
Grosjean in with the top teams I'd say there would be another one
yea i wouldnt trust him that high up the grid lol
Lewis with God's Speed.
Bottas can't touch him
Ocon is really showing his worth
He is amazing to watch
Flag for grosjean a bit harsh? Max has got away with a hell of a lot worse over the years
Black n white flag is a warning
And max hasnt done worse after the moving under braking rule was implemented
Not sure if it was before or after the rule, but he moved twice to defend from Riccardo in Baku and a few dodgy movements in spa a few years ago
Hope Mercedes crash
We know that won’t happen right
Just hope to have more action in championship
This is how formula 1 going to be with V6 engine
Gro Twitched at ric as well
Not sure if it was before or after the rule, but he moved twice to defend from Riccardo in Baku and a few dodgy movements in spa a few years ago
@livid hazel that wasnt under braking tho, he moved once under racing, and after that 1 time unser braking
Gro shouldn’t be in formula 1. I don’t know why haas still take him as their driver.
Yeah I guess it wasn't in the braking zone, still dodgy with your team mate at 210mph like
Well that entire situation was dodgy by both Verstappen as Ricciardo lol
Made for a great race tho 😂
Hmm bottas' tyres are going off
perhaps he needs another pitstop?
Yeah doesn't matter if they need another stop just stick the softs on and fly past max on 30 lap old hards
The merc is at least a second quicker than the red bull, the soft to hard tyre was 1.6 seconds I think
Add to that the fact max has done over half the race on his hards
right now on current fuel loads the mercs and RBR are same speed
where verstappen is actually catching up a bit
just like F1 manager start ahea and do whatever
So last year's mercedes is slow this race
Max Vs bottas could be on 🤞🏼
Bottas puncture
yea i wonder if tracing points changed parts...
Albon doing decent recovery drive btw
Not now max has stopped
Hmmmax pits, wasnt it better to hhope hamiltons tyre to pop?
Gone for the guaranteed point
yeah its not a guarantee tho
I did predict Leclerc 3rd and Verstappen 2nd
Sainz popped as well
rip sainz
Well done to Albon, never gave up
And Hamilton too late
HAMILTON
YESSSSSS
Lmao Hamilton
This is mansell esc
Verstappen Is pushing
this is best race so far
Great finish
Almost
Wow! what a drama
sooo close
Softer tyres for next weeks race
Wow what a finish
max should've stayed out 😂
Omw bottas
Bottas P1, Verstappen P2, Leclerc P3@red raven
@rocky kraken
Yeah I sort of called it
I feel for Bottas, He had a chance to WC and now...
Verstappen pits and loses this race to HAM , lmao, i can always remember this race
yeah wdc is over now
Intense
yea stick hamilton in the safty car next weekend so he can see what its like and make the wdc more open
Surely there has to be some rule he's breaking with the car like that?? Ride heights?? How thick the plank is?? Who got done for the plank thickness ages ago
3 Tyres gone in 1 Lap
Not sure their are rules against having a puncture
thats nuts how meny tires failed in 2 laps
Only when his tyre runs completely off I think then its not allowed to continue since its too dangerous
Imagine that happened with a packed grand stand
Maybe Pirelli will change something for next week
The thickness of the plank underneath is deffo a rule
And he was driving on it for half a lap
Tyres are softer for next week
Aren’t pirelli testing new tyres in the upcoming practices?
Well next week they're going 1 tyre compound softer
so I'm guessing noone will even try the 1stop
and most will go for 2 stop from the start
never saw the race ending like that after the boring middle section
Might need 3 stops next weekend
Bottom paragraph
Yeah Dann, but it's not like this was intentional lmao
Consumed too much can end in disqualification
would be ridiculous if they were to punish lewis for that lmao
Doesn't say if it was intentional or not
Defo 2 stops or more next week with warmer weather as well
Well that means sainz, bott DQ as well 😂 Dann those regulations are for the design of the car
not how the car looks when youve been in a crash
you can also finish without a front wing
even tho there's a regulation which tells you need to have a front wing
Yeah but it says if it's consumed too much, that must be part of the design to make sure it's not grinding the floor all the time.. I hope they look into it
What a race!!!!!
most of the race was boring tho :-p
Hahahhahaah
THAT RACE WAS AMAZING
but what an ending indeed
2 safety cars and drama in the end, loved it, thats the best F1 race u can have these days,
If they design it to wear during the race it'd be a problem not as a result of a puncture
I love the unexpected!!!!!
2 last laps, something that no one expected
Left it right until the end hahahaha
@livid hazel let me just say I'm glad you're not a race steward lmao
i ove the fact that HAM has now got comfortable GAP to BOT, dont want another 2016 mishap
What cos I'd look at following the rules?
well thats my exsitement for the day time to await crew dragon spashdown next
BOT handing LEC a podium, lol
Bottas must be going nuts!!!!!
The planks might be totally legal but surely they got to look at it
BOTTA must be in toilet seat right now
Going past the pits and at the same time seeing your tyre deflate
Nature served him a bitter piece of misfortune.
Wow!!!
From 2nd to where ever outside the points he finished, all in the space of 2 laps
what do you guys think, 5s penalty on albon deserved or nah:
im inclined to say nah, racing incident, he lifted and tried to evade, but couldn't disappear in thin air
I have to watch the video again on Albon.
I don't think he is making his life any easier though.
Thats for sure
On race pace he's doing decent, especially in second part of the race
Merc need to be careful of Ver, he is a threat.
Definitely deserved, drove into a gap that was already half closed and ended kmags race
Lmao. Why did HAM get driver of the day. Was hoping for hulk
Nah ver isnt a threat unless their tyres pop
Yeah
A serious threat. Not that he is close to ham but that he is far better then the rest.
That will give him confidence to keep pushing.
Hamilton had an almost perfect race, bringing home a car on 3 tyres in the end @jaunty cave lol
Ayy max is definitely extracting most out of his car
Max is only 6 pts behind bottas now lol
Ah well, perhaps RB can go for an off-chance race win, but i'm guessing Merc will win all this year
He has a strong chance of getting second. However, I say this because nature will serve misfortune.
So what happen today could of happened to Any1.
Merc had the most to lose lol
What you think about Gasly? But he wont want to go back to RB lol
nah honestly merc will learn from it, go safer, and as long as bottas won't make big mistakes he won't overtake
Hmm gasly's doing good
but it's really tough to say who's the better driver between albon and gasly
Both do great in the TR
Both do not so good in the RB
What did horner say?
He's a lucky boy lol 😂 😂 😂
So basically HAmilton has better Tire management than Bottas, as he got puncture later than
Ah yeah
The spirit of his tone said it all.
we are expecting 3 stop in next race
He wants that throne and rightly so
Whats the weather forecast for next week?
Hopefully it's rain, I'm hoping for typical British weather.
Hot and sunny next week, likely
I'm not sure they'll go for same strategy as today though
Very hot Friday Saturday so could get Storm Sunday
Horner covering the strategy failure from RB
91 races 5 more to go, I think lol
Silverstone always usually 2 stop, teams pushed their luck today and it hurt some of them
This guy is formidable! I wouldn't be surprised if he wins majority of races.
They won't go for same strategy @jaunty cave
Tyres are 1 compound softer
I'm guessing you'll see most do a Medium / Soft / Soft
Or medium / medium/ soft
Hopefully that allows them to push harder on a 2 stop
depending how long they last
I'm sure there will be one team that will attempt today's strategy though lol
2 stints on harder compound id expect, yeah
just seen the rewind of magnussen and albon impact
honestly the 5s wasn't deserved
The marshals took their time on moving that kyvat car though lol
Nearly took 10 laps lol
Bottas must be gutted
It just seems as though he's a burst fuse ever since he won the first race.
F1 misfortune served him a 💩 🍴 that's tough to swallow.
Vettel finished 10th lol 😂 😂 😂
Do you think it's deliberate? When his team mate finishes 3rd.
I can see you arguing that HAM is the best driver cause he drove 40sec faster then his Team Mate
Don't forget, pace differential between ferrari, renault, mclaren is really close right now - even AT is quite close to them
Vettel had a lot of car problems this weekend
Bottas was within 3 seconds all race, until he dropped back cos of his tyres. Would never have passed Hamilton but still a strong race from him
I know Vettel can do better then 10th. He is a formidable champ!
I agree, that is what must hurt. Falling short due to things outside his control. Maybe the team should of done more...
Yeah when he was on the radio saying about vibrations for 2 laps, but it would give away second to max so doubt him or the team wanted that
Not stopping Hamilton after max was mad
@jaunty cave consistently on every race lol how many qualis and wins does ham have over bottas since bottas joined?
@jaunty cave that should prove doubters convincingly. Lol
@livid hazel cost him worse then 3rd today. Better safe then sorry.
Bottas will come back stronger next week, he isn't Albon lol 😂 😂 😂
Yeah if they pitted him for softs he could have undercut Hamilton if ham pitted, or been quick enough for a few laps to take the victory when hams tyre popped
I can't wait to see Norris next week hope he gets a top 6 again
Him and Danny ric easily my favourite drivers on the grid
Hard to say with ocon only having a couple races after a break, I just think lando is already showing great ability and can get stronger
I just hope he gets a seat at a top team asap
Thank you 🤫
Haha sky bet is really bad for F1 bets only has outright winner, podium or points finish 😐
Bet365 is good. They don’t have the bets up usually till the day before but they have 100s of different betting options
Quite happy hulk didn’t race think he would of done me over lol
Haha maybe not stroll wasn't strong today
Norris gave me a scare as he struggled past grosjean
For once grosjean can defend and not crash 🥴
Do you think Norris is a WC?
Maybe in a different car but this season showing great potential
Haha slightly sketchy defending
But not forgetting everyone is still warming up
I think he could be @jaunty cave
Proven hes very close to sainz in just his first season, sainz has had a few years and was just as fast as max in the torro rosso
I think if Norris and bottas were in a Mercedes he would be a WC
I wouldn't measure it that way
I measure a potential WC against a previous WC
I don't see Norris making that cut. I think mentality he will get destroyed
Norris would be brought back to 🚸
I'd say mentally he's pretty strong for such a young age
Hasn't got angry or let his head drop after bad weekends, knows when he hasn't had a strong race and doesnt get too excited after a good quali
Imo he isn't being tested.
To be the best you compete with the best. I cannot see him beating alonso.
I think Alonso would bring him back to 🚸
Sainz was tested against the best and passed, and Norris is being tested against him
That's how I see it anyway
Give norris a year or 2 and you will see fully he’s new into f1 and has a big following due to his Esports side during lockdown which could bring him a big transfer to stronger team in future. (Community following)
Alonso brought Sainz back to 🚸
@cyan minnow I'm referring to pure race pace, skill and raw talent.
Yeah he has got a big following tbf, and I meant against verstappen mate he really was more than a match for max
No sainz haha
He should go to RB then lol
@cyan minnow I'm referring to pure race pace, skill and raw talent.
@jaunty cave he’s been keeping in the top side most races so why not.
(I only mentioned esports) as community following can make a big influence on who a team signs also. Mercedes wouldn’t sign a nobody to public eyes
Put Norris in the RB lol
I'd love to see him.against max
The esports side (following) gets him bigger contracts. Fans = more money
If he can show his worthiness before he psychologically crumbles, I'm a fan!
Yeah young audience as well for different sponsorship possibilities
Tbh I think albon will crumble, no idea about Russel, but I can't see lando crumnling
Money has become a important part since the removed “smoking and alcohol adds” them adds kept all teams good on money side now many struggle.
Which is great if you can capitalise on it to create opportunities, however when you get the seat you need to deliver
Those top teams have the budget, do they need a business savvy person or do they want a raw talent that can win consistently lol
@livid hazel albon will crumble like my apple crumble for dessert in the evenings lol
Lewis has gone from talent into business weirdly enough. But it’s brought Mercedes a big following like really big I can see why they push the political side in.
Give it time.. Albon will break piece by piece lol
@cyan minnow Well he is the best. When your the best it's easy to market
He has the raw talent Lewis
Yeah he is up against the strongest or second strongest driver there has been for a long time though
So companies know they're going to make the big buck off him.
Unless u have world championship winning pace u will look silly against max
@livid hazel I 👍
Exactly what happend with gasly, now he's away from max he's doing alright again
It's nearly a character assassination.
Yeah exactly haha
Fair play to bottas and rosberg for staying competitive, but neither had the raw pace they've had to work and work just to be close to hamilton
@livid hazel yep! Bottas can keep up but not overtake.
Albon can't keep up lol
That's why I like bottas
Nah that's why I liked rosberg, he took a battering for a year and a half, worked at everything, came back and beat hamilton
https://media.tenor.com/images/1eb3349677d9107cab44cf17d366915a/tenor.gif
Damn that picture it keeps coming up n I can't stop it
Then was made to retire
And to put the cherry on top, he came up with the perfect excuse. I only wanted one championship
Smh 🤦♂️
Nah he fully admitted he didn't have the energy for another season to beat Hamilton
Drivers come into the sport to earn 1 championship.
And he has a wife n child he wanted to see more
Smh 🤦♂️
Those things are irrelevant when you're an F1 driver. It's not a 9-5 job lol the commitment those drivers need to make.
He committed, he worked so hard he came from being beaten in all areas by a world champion to beating him fairly
Imo, he knew there could be a strong possibility he won't win another one staying in F1 being Hams team mate.
And u said about character assassination, he still gets jabs now from sky sports and he knew he would get more of the same until he stopped
Oh yeah he knew he wouldn't beat him again
Everyone forgets how great rosberg drove in 2016 they just write it down to Hamilton having one engine failiure
So he made the next best move lol that was leave with one and face the humiliation of forced retirement
