F1 2021 Season

[pauldyson1uk]

Glad no penalty.
Still say this race will be won in Q3
Pole, good start and good pits, should be a winning position.

 

[The Firestarter]

Ridiculously close driving to the walls . Unreal reactions by some of the drivers.

Full race distance... worn out tyres... people trying overtakes
Can see there being several safety cars tomorrow

 

[senorgregster]

Sounds like Hamilton dodged a couple bullets there? Track us awful. How many SCs?

This is the sort of circuit, with a wall of champions waiting at every other corner, so an off lap or a lapse and its all over

 

[senorgregster]

What was that? Ridiculous.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Jesus this track is horrible in places, massive accident is a big possibility.

 

[United Hobbit]

Surely penalty for that wall of cars that just got in Verstappen's way then? One day all this dithering is causing a nasty accident

 

[Fluctuation0161]

They've ruined Hamilton's preparation for qualification for a non-incident. Disgraceful.

Trying to disrupt for a new champion?

 

[Fluctuation0161]

Jesus this track is horrible in places, massive accident is a big possibility.

Agree. It seems very dangerous.

Unsure why it got signed off like this?

 

[hellhunter]

I think the track is beautiful and great, just terrible to actually race on

 

[Fluctuation0161]

This circuit has big accident written all over it

I hope not. But if we get away with it this year it needs serious changes if they ever race there again.

Although I suppose the Saudi government do love to breach human rights so... maybe they paid a big fee to get the track approved for sportswashing purposes.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

OUT IN Q1
16) Nicholas Latifi, Williams

17) Sebastian Vettel, Aston Martin

18) Lance Stroll, Aston Martin

19) Mick Schumacher, Haas

20) Nikita Mazepin, Haas

 

[sewey89]

Max looks faster

 

[United Hobbit]

I would not want to drive that track at that speed

I'm quite enjoying it!

 

[hellhunter]

Max looks faster

Lewis had a ton of traffic on his lap

 

[Desert Eagle]

This circuit has big accident written all over it

Yeah looked iffy even in qualifying . Hopefully not though.

 

[The Firestarter]

That was flawless lap by Max. Quite enjoyed the bumper camera view.

 

[The Firestarter]

Jeez Carlos...

 

[hellhunter]

Impressive how Sainz saved the car

 

[senorgregster]

Shouldn't be racing here.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

WOW mix of blind luck and driver skill avoided a big shunt

 

[The Hilton]

Red Bulls are both looking ominously fast, they've seemed better suited to street circuits all year.

 

[christy87]

How many places will Bottas drop for the power unit change

 

[Hephaestus]

How many places will Bottas drop for the power unit change

They said it's a previously used power unit so won't get a penalty.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

300+kph round some of those corners, ball of steel.

 

[Leg-End]

How many places will Bottas drop for the power unit change

None, it’s out of his current pool of engines.

 

[christy87]

Sainz is a very lucky boy

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Who signed off this track, Iam actually scared watching this, even a small crash could be serious.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Bottas and Kimi touch

 

[The Firestarter]

Feck me, a continues series of near misses so far. Can't feel optimistic for tomorrow.

 

[The Firestarter]

Who signed off this track, Iam actually scared watching this, even a small crash could be serious.

Cash is king.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

OUT IN Q2
11) Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren

12) Kimi Raikkonen, Alfa Romeo

13) Fernando Alonso, Alpine

14) George Russell, Alpine

15) Carlos Sainz, Ferrari

 

[Hephaestus]

Yeah, feels like we're due a big incident here. So many near misses.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Cash is king.

Sadly true.

 

[Leg-End]

Yeah, made up my mind, straight up dangerous track this. I hate watered down tracks but this is crazy here, I genuinely fear a big one here.

 

[christy87]

Way to many blind corners and the track is very tight, at least Shanghai is a broader track in the high speed parts and slower in the tighter spots.

 

[christy87]

Even the mazipan and Lewis incident was lucky not to total both drivers because of the high speed blind corners.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Yeah, made up my mind, straight up dangerous track this. I hate watered down tracks but this is crazy here, I genuinely fear a big one here.

I agree, don't want an easy track, but this is too aggressive.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Even the mazipan and Lewis incident was lucky not to total both drivers because of the high speed blind corners.

Just think if he had hit head-on, it would have been a fatality Iam sure, Mazipan was moving fast
