F1 2021 Season

That has to piss Lewis off, his team wanting to call off the chase.

I understand the importance of getting the car to the end of the race, but that was only the 2nd time in the race that Lewis has looked like getting on the back of max
 
The tyre performance graphic is one of the most useless things in F1.
 
Really poor race on a poor track, but it’ll stay on the calendar because of max

The guys on the wall and back at the factory will always have more info than Lewis, it's the right call today.

Yep, they deserve a race but this track isn’t any good for modern F1.

Next years cars shake it up hopefully.

Funny no one at Sky has twigged the tyre performance thing they use is absolute bullshit and always wrong.

Like measuring the time with a sundial.

I say that, they probably realise and keep it just because it helps add drama where there is none.

So true, they literally only bring it up to squeeze “AWS” in.

I agree, but when you’re pushing and can see you’re getting close, it’ll annoy you to be told to chill out.

He’ll be fine though, he will have known that anything more than 2nd today was an unlikely bonus
 
The pit stops for extra points always stress me out. Just feel like something will go wrong. Lewis already has fasted lap but I’ve no idea if anyone can break that on their current tyres.

Watching something on Sky yesterday and they showing all of the improvements which have made in order to get the track and facilities up to spec, shame they didn't do anything about the layout to help with overtaking.

Was it? :lol:

A track which isn’t big enough for the cars to overtake each other.. F1 should be about overtaking and racing for me. Of course the strategies are important, but I don’t like tracks where strategies solely decide the race
 
As Button said, just leave Lewis out. If Max makes a mistake he’ll be there right behind him. Just don’t see one point being worth it.

Would love to see Bottas go for it for the drama :lol:

Yeah. It’s a beautiful looking track and it was great for qualifying, but the race has been a bore
 
Red Bull run rings around Mercedes operationally. albeit they only do it with one car. Quicker pitstops, better strategy, I think marginally faster car this season, Max has a big chance to be champion now.

Mercedes strategy was OK today for me, they tried to win it failed, but FFS WTF were they doing pitting Bottas near the end, totally unnecessary.

I can only assume they didn’t want to risk him ignoring them no not letting Lewis past (assuming they’d already decided they were going to pit Lewis?)

As some drivers showed you can overtake , it requires greater skill but is possible. Also, the prognosis for pandemonium at the start was wrong, it was a nice race at the end.
