F1 2020 Season

[Krits]

Whatever you say, I have to hand it to Mercedes for being absolutely ruthless. Every year you think people will eventually close the gap, but they absolutely hammer everyone out of the park.

At least Ferrari made it on the 3rd row, Hopefully one of them can get a pole. But might be a fun race to watch thanks to everyone else being so closely matched.

 

[vangagal]

Even the others doesn't even bother to finish their final lap.

 

[RDCR07]

Great going to another boring race at the top. fecking Mercedes.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Not one of the best qualifying's you will watch, the rain never came , that could have mixed things up a bit.
Lewis was flying today, that pole that was perfect.

 

[JTW95]

As good as it is to see another team joining the big boys im annoyed its Racing Point I fecking hate them Strolls with a passion

They have made the sport more interesting behind the Mercedes though so fair play to them.

 

[ZIDANE]

Last years Mercedes being faster than everyone else is ridiculous. Stroll as well who everybody said this week is only in because of his father.

It is not a power track. But even so, Ferrari are well down.

 

[Redplane]

Man-what's going on with RB? Max must be fuming.

[Hephaestus]

Shwartzman showing again how special he is. Got to be in F1 next year.

Shwartzman showing again how special he is. Got to be in F1 next year.

He’s got to get one of the Haas or Alfa seats surely.

Raining today so that’ll make this race more interesting.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Have to admit will be sad for F1 if Seb does not get a drive next season.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Wet start, more rain is due, could mix it up a bit.

 

[JTW95]

Going to be a wet start it seems. Lovely

 

[JTW95]

Have to admit will be sad for F1 if Seb does not get a drive next season.

I think Racing Point is looking the best bet if not then I imagine he will have a year or so out till a better offer comes along.

It would be harsh on Perez if he gets booted though but no way does he replace Stroll at Team Nepotism.

 

[hp88]

Race over for Max?

 

[BIGbadBOO4]

Wet start, more rain is due, could mix it up a bit.

I agree, he seems a really decent bloke and I have definitely warmed to him over the last few years. I think he can be an arse when he wins but I think he is a genuinely nice who is super focused on winning.

Agree with Racing Point and no way he replaces Stroll.

Max damages car on the run to the grid !!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Max could be lucky to even race, damage to suspension ?

 

[elmo]

Wow, max car got damage

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Looks like Max damaged a suspension rod, they are attempting to change it.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Wet start , turn one could be intresting.

 

[Hephaestus]

He’s got to get one of the Haas or Alfa seats surely.

Raining today so that’ll make this race more interesting.

Can see them getting him the Haas seat and Schumacher to Alfa. They'd be stupid to prioritise Mick right now but don't see them giving up on him now he's showing more promise.

Red Bull mechanics have done amazingly.

 

[JTW95]

Max is a lucky boy!

 

[Rooney1987]

Fair play to the Red Bull mechanics hell of a job.

 

[JTW95]

That screen with Roberto Carlos

 

[Jack-C20]

This will be interesting at the start at least.

 

[JTW95]

Verstappen on a mission! Bottas had a disaster lost places and he might have jump started

 

[pauldyson1uk]

good start no incidents , good start from Stroll

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis already 3+ seconds ahead !!

 

[Dargonk]

Lewis appears as good as gone already. Bottas with a really poor start

 

[Norris]

Clean first turn on a wet track. Bit of a surprise. Good to see Le Clerc make a good start but this looks like yet another Hamilton Race.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Leclerc with slicks

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis is flying 6+ second ahead in 3 laps !!!

 

[Norris]

FFS, Vettel loses time in the pits.

 

[Leg-End]

Bottas jumped the start and no even investigation? Should be slam dunk penalty.

 

[Jippy]

That sky looks ominous. More rain could liven things up.

 

[Hephaestus]

Ferrari have to tell Leclerc to let Vettel through, they've fecked Leclerc's strategy, no need to feck their other driver.

Edit: No need, Vettel got it done quickly.

 

[JTW95]

Leclerc is a sitting duck on them tyres he has been fecked over by the strategy there

 

[pauldyson1uk]

This is easy for Lewis so far, but all it needs is a bit of rain and SC.
