@flint burrow yeah he deserve it but i still dont like how top team is have no one challege them even redbull

Yeah for example now there's Just 2 Best teams-red bull and merc
It makes the races even more boring
Especially when everything is already setted like red bull Have 2nd rank already and merc 1st rank
But midfield battle is something good to watch
So many teams competing for 3rd place

@flint burrow he absolutely deserves it as no one has beaten him consistently since 2016.

Yeah kinda

We can scream "it's the car" until we're blue in the face. If it really was the car Bottas would always be P2....
stuck fulcrum
Bottas is probably worse than Giovinazzi ,what do you expect from him 🙂
yet he is P2 in championship = car
if HAM really wants to prove he is the best he should move to RB for next season and win
if he can't he is not the best
wise musk
That's the issue with F1.
With the millions he makes, he likely doesn't care what we little people think.
stuck fulcrum
he has enough cash to live like a king for generations
yet he will be remembered being carried by a car 🙂
wise musk
Something I like to bring up when talking about HamBone: he'd have broken a lot of the wins record sooner if Ayrton was still alive. He would have held Schumi in check, and vice versa.
Hammy can drive, no doubt about it. That pass on Stroll was gutsy.
stuck fulcrum
oh for sure he is a great driver, no doubt
but when he has pressure he makes mistakes, and so far only Rosberg put pressure on him
Vettel had his chance in 2018 and failed like a king
since that Germany 2018 Vettel has been a disaster, mistakes over mistakes over mistakes
upbeat wedge
So when Vettel had the edge Hamilton didn't crumble Seb did.
steel nexus
Speaking of the car, where did the Mercs place in qualifying? Where did they finish? Who finished first? Mercedes were down all weekend. Hamilton won when it counted. Was it the car? Arguably no. Was it Hamilton? He had a lot to do with it. The team? For sure. I believe it was Hamilton’s call to stay out, he made it work. Others folded. Cracked under the pressure.
stuck fulcrum
yeah why not, you have to choose after FP3
steel nexus
They can’t switch the wets on
stuck fulcrum
well HAM started flying when track was getting dry
before that he was struggling behind VET
no DRS = no overtake
steel nexus
They had drs by about mid race or so
steel nexus
Ham did not get fastest lap
steel nexus
He drove smart
stuck fulcrum
for sure, but which car allows you to drive 53 laps on INTER on almost dry track ?

How many times will Race leader overtake the last driver? From blue flags
Twice? may be
stuck fulcrum
this could be the worst track in F1, ever
gusty bison
2 stops is my guess, it won't be as hard on tires as the usual layout and the overall distance raced is pretty much the same
novel fulcrum
@stuck fulcrum naa i think sochi is the worst

oh yeah, that too 🙂
gusty bison
I doudt it's going to be that bad, but I think it won't be as good as the main layout

I would not call the main layout good 🙂

If you compare to monza, spa or imola (examples only) fair enough, if you compare to sochi then idk what to say

Does anyone have F1 2018?

and ALB is as slow as a snail 🙂
Albon aint slow
dont know whats happened to him
he got 96 points last season after starting mid season
he came 4th in drivers championship i think
almost 40 points above riccardo
and after getting shoved out by HAM from his first podium
he got overconfident after last years end and it let him down
also dont forget the RB car is literally made for verstappen
its so hard to drive
upbeat wedge
The difference this year is other teams have become competitive so RB aren't guaranteed to finish top 6 regardless of driver performance
blazing pawn
ALB's problems are all about mentality and mindset. he just needs proper support in that
we've seen years and years that 2nd driver of RB ends up in that situation. which is worrying tbh..
stuck fulcrum
well not RIC 🙂
lean forge
jaunty cave
Sth like that
weak fog
well not RIC 🙂
RIC was their main driver at one point of time
thats why
as soon as he saw he was being replaced he left
RB make it hard for their second driver
and RIC knew that
ALB is fast, has skills and he has proved it
gusty bison
I don't think he cared about how hard it would be for the second driver, it just suited him that they have a problem. They wanted a Ricciardo out of to 2 drivers with little experience and who need some amount of time, Gasly was given almost no time Albon has just almost had a full season
weak fog
albon would have also had less time if he bottled the second half of last season
but he did well thats why they extended his contract
he got 4th at stirya this year too
its been a motivation issue
nothing else
but he is definately more suited to RB than GAS
he has the flare to overtake and take risks unlike GAS
which is shown
he has multiple 4th place finishes w RB
i think GAS highest was 5th

Halo saved his life
Such a freak accident, going through the barrier.
I don’t think you could reproduce that accident, looking forward to preventing going through the barrier as he did. You could put a tyre wall in front of the barriers in places like that to absorb energy. I’m really interested to see the results of the investigation. I have my theories as to why and how this happened, I’m just super happy that Grosjean is ok.

Seeing his video from the hospital bed last night was uplifting.

So far...
I have a feeling RB will make the switch in the off season. I’d like to see Albon get there, but I think lots of value still in Checo for a year or 2. They need the consistency
agile prairie
i feel like vestappen should move to mercades
the ultra team
the only reason he wont move is because it hurwts his egow because his teamate is a 7 time world champion
👀
agile prairie
hmmm
hamltion is much more hmm refined in his driving style
i think hamltion would overall beat max
ngl
hes still 2nd best driver on grid
steel nexus
I think Max would be like Rosberg... that’s how he would beat Lewis
Mercedes don’t want any of that tho
They are happy with mister number 2 Bottas
He just takes it
agile prairie
i think hes better for lewis
he not as confontrational
lewis thrives in good work enviroments
upbeat wedge
He'd then be driving a car that isn't specifically built for him
agile prairie
excately
hamltions is built for him but not to the same extent as the rb 16
no one else can drive that car except him
upbeat wedge
RB16 is only for Max
steel nexus
Max would adapt to a Merc I think
agile prairie
yeh
upbeat wedge
He would and he'd get closer to Lewis than anyone else
agile prairie
still think hamltion would win the championship most of the time
steel nexus
He would beat Lewis
agile prairie
when hamltion leaves bet that max will be there new super star
upbeat wedge
Not over the course of a season
agile prairie
i said most of the time lewis would win
steel nexus
Max would take more risks. Max would do whatever it takes to beat Lewis. Bottas won’t
agile prairie
he reminds me of lewis in his mclaren days
upbeat wedge
He'd also be under constant pressure for the first time in his career
steel nexus
Just like how Rosberg beat Lewis.
Lewis knows Bottas isn’t a threat
Max definitely would be
Max would put Lewis in a place he hasn’t been in in a very long time. Lewis would make mistakes. Max will capitalize.
Unfortunately not likely to happen irl
But fun to talk about
If RB make inroads with their PU and chassis, he might be able to challenge next year. Interesting to see what will become of the Honda PU... they’ve come so far.
upbeat wedge
Rosberg won once in 6 seasons?
steel nexus
Yes, but he did it.
He figured it out
Bottas hasn’t really come close.
Gotta hand it to Mercedes, their system works very well.
stuck fulcrum
VER makes more mistakes than HAM
steel nexus
Sure. Hard to make mistakes when you’re at the front with the best car and have been doing so for 7 years
More likely to make mistakes when you’re trying to catch that guy
quartz crater
But Bottas has the pace too beat Lewis but in the race he gets bad luck
steel nexus
That’s a whole ton of bad luck I think
He has the car
He gets the “bad” or “safe” calls from the wall
He is Corporate number 2
That’s his role
Max won’t take the Corporate number 2 role

I want Vandoorne 🇧🇪
chrome matrix
Russell is mercedes' first choice (if Williams allows it) - Vandoorne will be 2nd choice
Mercedes have very strong reserve drivers, they won't go for Hülkenberg or De Vries
They have if Russell is not allowed, esteban guttierez (not the best driver, but has F1 experience), Vandoorne (decent driver, f1 experience, races constantly in FE), Buemi (F1 experience, decent driver, constant FE races)
steel nexus
Love to see Russell show what he’s got. Mercedes don’t even need to run really... I guess Bottas wants to secure his P2 in the standings which isn’t so secure atm.
jaunty cave
Mercedes have very strong reserve drivers, they won't go for Hülkenberg or De Vr...
Esteban doesnt have Super licens. And Buemi is Red Bull test driver isnt he. Oh and i think russel is kinda unrealistic.
chrome matrix
Oh indeed about Buemi, esteban Idk, I think he still has his superlicense... Wiki shows him as test driver, but; In 2020, with the postponement and cancellation of races due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gutierrez represented Mercedes in the virtual world taking part in several high profile esports events.[37] It was discovered in August 2020 that Gutiérrez had stopped being eligible for a super licence at the start of the year after the introduction of new requirements to maintain them after more than three years, which had been overlooked by Mercedes and made him ineligible to be a reserve driver in Formula One.[38] He continues to work for Mercedes as a simulator and development driver.
so basically that leaves Vandoorne
and I think Vandoorne would've been the best option out of those 3 names anyways

from no points to probable podium or win if he win this race week probably the 1-2 Mercedes will be Lewis Russell in 2021

Maybe Merc and Williams work out a deal... straight trade Bottas for Russell, throw in some development help...

Most likely

Hard to say, depends on how the new cars are in 2022. Max may want to stay at RBR if they have a car that can beat the Mercs.
stuck fulcrum
currently the have no engine, Honda is not reliable as Mercedes even if they freeze the development, so is Renault, and Ferrari will never give RB a good engine
steel nexus
Ferrari doesn’t have a good engine to give! 😂
RBR will sort out the engine soon. They have no choice really.

russell's first points could be his first win and podium too lol. I really hope he gets the win this weekend

Where’s Bottas? Oh wait... I see him.... just behind the 2 Red Bulls...

Will be interesting when they decide to enforce track limits at turn 8, everyone constantly driving off the track

Bottas could get the sack at the end of the season
blazing pawn
just mark my words. if 2022 still sees Hamilton taking a seat in Merc, Bottas wont be there if he loses this one. these things matter a lot when they pull in the decision time
Im BOT fan myself and I simply cant argue the fact he is underperforming
upbeat wedge
cant in a contract till 2021
Contracts are meaningless
chrome matrix
Keep in mind that it was general knowledge that Russell is a great driver, one of the best drivers in the field even
I'm guessing merc dont want 2 S-tier drivers in their car, to prevent what happened between Rosberg and hamilton
steel nexus
Exactly. Bottas is a perfect number 2. Good enough to get good points, but keeps his nose clean and does what he’s told.
chrome matrix
Yeah, don't get me wrong
Bottas is a decent driver
And might get an odd championship one day if he manages to stick with merc
But there currently is so much talent in f1 that it gets overshadowed imo

what happened, they won both titles 🙂
steel nexus
I don’t think Bottas has what it takes to win a championship. Unless he is number 1 at Mercedes and they keep their development advantage over the competition
chrome matrix
what happened, they won both titles 🙂
Rosberg and hamilton were very good friends going into Mercedes team (growing up together from karting etc, bit like you see russell, Leclerc, Verstappen and Norris as Friends together often)
upbeat wedge
And don't employ a 2nd driver
chrome matrix
But there were big internal struggled between ham and ros since they both felt the other driver was getting more support
Basically it was a PR nightmare for mercedes to keep things positive from the outside
stuck fulcrum
well you go into F1 to compete, and your first opponent is your team mate
upbeat wedge
That hasn't been the case for a long time
chrome matrix
For sure but to put both drivers in a car who both are quite similar in talent and both feel like they should be the nr 1 driver is a dangerous PR game :p
stuck fulcrum
I see nothing wrong in some fair competition for the titles, I am just sick tired of "Vallteri it's James"
steel nexus
First and foremost F1 is a business
chrome matrix
Well think valtteri it's James
But then 10x worse for mercedes
In those last 2 seasons of rosberg
stuck fulcrum
I can understand if you are fighting point to point against RB/FE, but Mercedes always has both titles in their pockets at race 1
steel nexus
Rosberg told James where to go most of the time
chrome matrix
stuck fulcrum
on top of that the gap between race winner and 2nd/3rd spot doesn't really help people getting podiums and not wins
chrome matrix
@stuck fulcrum this is a decent read into the situation
Might give some more background why merc is hesitant putting 2 alist drivers in the merc
chrome matrix
You work in HR? 🤔 😂
steel nexus
Nope.
stuck fulcrum
think about it in another way
instead of boring HAM wins we could have 2 drivers giving us some fun over the championship
stuck fulcrum
merc has a good name because of the insane car they have
chrome matrix
Each and every one team of f1 is in it for advertisement
stuck fulcrum
not because of the drivers
chrome matrix
And want a certain message to be conveyed to the publix
steel nexus
The best or nothing
chrome matrix
Merc mostly wants to be seen as the best, reliable and business
stuck fulcrum
engine never breaks, rarely mechanical failures, handles tires like no other car
chrome matrix
Red bull wants to be seen as the fun and awesome team, which takes risk
These 2 companies have entirely different strats
And red bull is because of this, more likely to drive 2 a list drivers (Vettel and ric, ver and ric, and are very actively looking for a second a lister currently...)
stuck fulcrum
they could have a great 2nd driver, yet the pick ALB 😄
steel nexus
They need to do something to catch Mercedes
chrome matrix
Albon performed very similar to Gasly rn in the AT
But these differences are mainly because what the companies want to do
Rb rather had albon in it, since trying to stick an overtake but failing
Generates much more publicity than not trying to overtake
Which was the case with Gasly I. The RB
stuck fulcrum
I don't think you can do anything to catch MER with current rules
they are so far ahead
steel nexus
Perez would be a good fit at RBR short term
stuck fulcrum
and I am expecting 2022 won't change anything
should have kept RIC
they could easily have placed VER and RIC 2nd and 3rd fighting for constructor's
steel nexus
RIC didn’t want to stay
He will do good at McLaren
McLaren the team to watch next year
stuck fulcrum
well he probably did not want to stay because of the hostile environment created towards him
another bad move if you want to catch Mercedes
steel nexus
Next 2 years of F1 will definitely be interesting... all the driver changes this year, new PU for McLaren, see if Ferrari get it together, will RBR catch Mercedes, how will Alonso do....
chrome matrix
well he probably did not want to stay because of the hostile environment created...
Hmm don't believe everything netflix tries to portray lol
Yeah there were power struggles who was first driver, but that happens anywhere where 1 driver shows to become stronger than the other
stuck fulcrum
I haven't watched netflix, I just saw what happened during the year
chrome matrix
Ah my assumption then
But still the situation wasn't as bad as media portray it
They thrive on drama, so often drama Is created where it's not
But in a different situation the relationship between max and Daniel might've ended similarly as rosbergs and hamiltons
stuck fulcrum
too many technical issues happened to RIC car that year
might have been a coincidence
but who knows 🙂
