F1 2021 Season

F1 is high speed, tyres tend to blow at their highest load, tyres have been blowing for donkeys years for all manner of reasons.

Pirelli’s though so take the crown for most blowouts in history.
 
Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with tyre management doesnt understand the first thing about Formula 1. :lol:
 
Feel bad for Max, did nothing wrong all race and was even cruising and barely pushing his car, yet gets a tyre failure.

This restart should be interesting, if Hamilton manages to take the win people are going to have a meltdown.

If Bottas has a few more races like this he should get replaced midseason, shocking race from him.

Needs Basil Fawlty branch.
 
Yeah obviously a huge feck up on their part. Stroll didn't even have much wear. Max is very good at managing tires too, his were definitely no worse than Perez or Hamilton. Red Bull now saying there was absolutely no indication the tires were in bad shape.
Stroll definitely had a lot of wear considering he hasn't pitted.

But yup, this is all on Pirelli. They told teams that the hard compound could last for 40 laps
 
This title race is still far from over. Red Bull seem to be getting stronger as the season goes on. Max will be back in the hunt soon enough .

Hard to say right now. I think the last two just favoured Red Bull. Also, isn't there going to be a rule change over the rear wings after this? For now, I think Mercedes will be favourites in most races this year.
 
/bottas 14th! That's so bad
 
:lol: It has absolutely nothing to do with tyre management.

Hamilton was pushing in Perez's dirty air since the restart, Max was lifting and coasting to the win.

Had the race gone to the end with no stop we'd have seen more failures.
Yes they all should have changed but Max's tyres were newer than Lewis' but failed first.
 
Might as well do a grid restart now hadn't they?

Hoping Lewis wins, just to see the piss that’ll be boiled in this thread :lol:

I mean Stroll was on lap 31 or so of 40? That's nothing. If it was lap 39 or something and he'd been pushing you know you're at risk but this is unacceptable from Pirelli
 
Need a proper investigation of these tyres. Safety paramount.
 
Expect Perez to win.
