F1 2020 Season

Ahhhh look at Gasly's team :D
 
I had £10 on Gasly and covered the bet with Sainz with a £4

Last lap I had a cash out on Gasly at £64 (£70 max) and was about to hit it and then all cash out were cancelled :lol:
Nervous
 
Mclaren pipped to their first win in years by a GP2 Honda engine :drool:

Though I really like to see Mclaren do well at the same time! Great race by Sainz, he must be dreading next season
 
So gutted for sainz! So so close... but we done gasly held his nerve. What a race
 
So close for Sainz and then he has to go and drive that Ferrari next year.
 
Shame Stroll managed to fluke his way on the podium would have loved to see Norris get that 3rd spot.
 
God that was bloody great. Hopefully Ferrari can ruin the race for the Mercs next week aswell. So much fun
 
How does the reverse grid thing work? That would spice it up.
Either start the race in reserve championship order, or do a smaller race for points and then start the reserve of that race result.
 
Stroll got a podium while doing virtually nothing all race. Hulk is sobbing somewhere
 
I think the result was great, the racing itself wasn't anything to write home about. A track that relies heavy on DRS.

Agreed, not that much actually happened after the restart except for Hamilton cutting through. I don’t think the engine mode ban has helped, drivers don’t have the old tools they had to attack and defend.

Be interesting to see what it’s impact is on a normal track.
 
I wonder how long it'll take for Helmut Marko to start feeding the press with the Albon/Gasly switch for next year.
 
On the plus side we have another monza next week :drool:

At least based on the Netflix doc it seems Gasley is an emotional guy who needs some coddling. Horner clearly doesnt do warm and fuzzy. If he goes back to RB he knows he ll be second to Max again so for Pierre's sake at least that would seem like a move that would backfire again.
 
Does it work well?
Yes but mostly because the cars are identical. Don't think it would work in F1. You'd either need to drastically change the regulations or do a full reverse of the championship standings as a sprint race on Saturday.

Terrific race, but we need to get to the point where we can have great days like this without a wheel falling off or an obscure pitlane rule being broken.
 
Oh yeah you’re right! I just assumed it was another monza I forgot mugello.

will be interesting as it’s a decent Moto gp track, whether it’ll translate well to f1.
 
What a fecking race that was. Buzzing at the end of it. Great stories all over the place. I'm biased but I would have preferred a McClaren win, but you cannot begrudge a Gasly victory. Only blotch is still finishing on the podium. Can't stand him.
 
Would be so interesting

Know itll never happen but I'd stick them all in exactly the same spec car then all the teams do is decide their strategies but with everyone in exactly the same spec car it'll be who can drive it best and plan the best strategy

That was A1 grand prix basically. Only lasted about 5 years though
