F1 2021 Season

What a race. From every perspective except Norris'. Verstappen excellent despite Red Bull fecking up the pit strategy and bringing him in when Hamilton pitted. Hamilton faultless except for a slow start. I feel for Norris but it was his decision.
 
Absolutely mental end to the race. Gutting for Norris, the team can't leave that call to him, he doesn't know it's getting worse. Just fecking tell him to get in like Mercedes did.

Yeah they didn't want to make the call unless it was wrong and Hamilton stayed out. By the time it was obvious it was the wrong call they have to stick with it as Hamilton had made up so much time then he wouldn't come back out in front of him.
 
The McClaren team is as fault there. Mercedes told Hamilton he was coming in whether he liked it or not. The driver shouldn't be given the choice when they know more rain is coming.
 
Never thought I’d say this with F1 but the rain can feck off.

Well, maybe Spa as well.

Pretty annoying in a way how rain so often throws up a surprise winner and this time it just gifted the usual suspects #1 and #2. :lol:
 
Massive weekend for Red Bull. I think max is big favourite for the title now
 
Stupid arrogant Norris.

Daft thing to say.
I didn't hear his pit tell him that the rain was getting worse.
Bit of inexperience, but McLaren should have made the call, not the driver in that situation.
 
absolutely heart broken. what a crazy end.

lando deserved this so much
 
Gutted, absolutely gutted for Norris but he needs to be listening there instead of telling his team to shut up
 
Such a shame for Norris, deserved a win although I fancied Lewis had a chance to take him without the rain. The rain benefitted max more than anyone but he or red bull made the early correct call. He moved from 7th to 2nd.
 
Can't complain about the race not being entertaining this weekend. Just needed Norris to win to make it a perfect race.
 
Gutted for Norris, inexperience cost him, that will come in time.
He gambled and it failed badly.
I like Norris, definitely a future WC.

Indeed.
But don't you think the team should have made the call as did Mercedes.
 
Heartbroken for Lando :(

Super ballsy call to stay out there. I think Hamilton would have taken the win anyway, but I doubt that's any consolation at the moment.
 
Inexperience for him, called it ,wrong call.
they should have played it safe but it wasn’t raining that hard and he was covering off hamilton no problem.

it then suddenly burst and he had no chance.

maybe the team should have been stronger but in his mind he was handling it
 
Rain today could well be what seals the title for Verstappen, the racing gods were definitely with him.

Absolutely gutted for Norris, he deserved the win today.

Norris said no couple of times against his pit crew for going in. Their pit crew cave in for Lando.
 
What an exciting end just wish Lando hadn't taken the risk. Especially as Lewis came in, he'd have been guaranteed a podium at least if he pitted
 
If it rains, you pit. End of. He will never make that mistake again.

100%

Not Landos fault, he isn't the one with the weather radar, they should have been more forceful, they were paralysed by fear of pitting and Hamilton not and that being the right call
 
Max’s race was fairly average until the rain, Red Bull nailed the call on timing.

Hamilton will have to take a penalty somewhere, I suspect they will do it at Mexico which Max will dominate anyway.
