F1 2020 Season

One thing we will see is a constant protest by Renault at every race here on now, and then a reprimand for RP.

Given they're racing with a W10 that'll probably end up as less than a race worth of average points. McLaren got docked that many points once when Alonso and Hamilton were being dicks to each other in Hungary, under the old points regime.

But I get it, the only part you can prove they cheated on was the brake ducts and they can't extrapolate that to the whole car. Even though they clearly cheated on the whole car.

The 15 points only relate to running the ducts in one race... I assume they will face similar deductions for the subsequent races

Also I assume they will have to design a new part quick to enter the next races?

I think Renault have hired an ex racing point engineer and he suggested they protest the brake ducts ... he may now suggest they protest other parts?

Also its legal to sell certain parts and not others so the whole car wouldn't be illegal only any prohibited parts

The ruling basically says the punishment is for the whole season, they'll just get "reprimanded" for future races which is a sterner way of saying slapped on the wrists.
 
Brilliant from Hulkenberg. I know it will be almost impossible to keep 3rd from Verstappen tomorrow but I so hope he does.
 
Excellent laps from Bottas, Hulkenburg, Ricciardo and Gasly.

The race for P3 will be good tomorrow.
 


Quick reminder, this is the same prick who once "passed 13 yellow flags, four double-yellow flags, two white flags and 15 safety-car boards" to overtake 10 cars before deliberately crashing into another driver getting him a one year ban.

Less than a week after he was shit talking Red Bull for dropping him from their academy as well.
 
He had a few more outbursts on the radio, and then got a black & white flag from the stewards. The actual move from Tsunoda (I think it was), wasn't dangerous at all.

The thing about Ticktum, is he's only in that DAMS seat due to his title sponsor. If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't be seeing him.
 
Watching F1 this season is like watching the Bundesliga. The most you can hope for is the ocassional Bayern draw or slip up, but it's all predetermined and the gap between #1 and the rest is way too wide

Ferrari and Red Bull need to buck the feck up

Was Deletraz but yeah, wasn't dangerous at all from him, Ticktum is just the worst.

So he s basically the Max of F2 without the skills and self preservation restraint?

Way worse than Max. He just was a bit too aggressive in his first few years and can be a bit of an arsehole, Ticktum is a piece of work.

4 laps in and thats Merc off on their own already unless something mad happens - and even that wasn't enough last week. Love F1, but its so uncompetitive these days.
 
Verstappen is destined to spend all season running in 3rd in a gap where there's no car around him.

In a way it does make it all the more impressive that Max is creating such a huge gap behind him on the hard tyres.
 
It is rubbish that the cars can't overtake. Obvious Hamilton would be faster than Bottas but can't overtake easily someone in same car.
 
Verstappan is in a good place on the hards. Bothas not pulling away enough, if Lewis can go faster and create a gap Merc should let him through as verstappan can overtake both Marc's here.

Used to be glued to this years ago. Can't watch it now.

Hey, this one is suspenseful. Merc might not order Bottas to let Hamilton through until the second half of the race,

I still watch every race, atleast at the start. But its not the same sport it was even when Button won the championship not so long ago - fecking loved that season.
 
Merc have to play this differently if Max is there, you have to let Hamilton pit first unless Bottas gets on with it
 
Max is an incredible driver, his battles with Lewis would be so compelling every week if the cars were competitive.
 
Glad Max told his team to go away, sod holding back when he might not get another chance.
 
Merc are gonna mess this up by trying to be clever again, Hamilton’s rears are toast
 
Surely merc have to get on them hard tyres ASAP. More tyre issues for them
