Take Seb's seat!!! Veteran team Hamilton/Bottas driving Mercs Young guys Leclerc/Max driving Ferraris
You were right! Max on the pole. Albon with his highest qualifying position ever. Should be a really interesting race. No Merc qualifying in the top 3 is rare. Still, Lewis behind both Ferraris, trying to get on the podium should be good to watch. Also, that track has a really long straight so Ferrari trying to get past Max on that could be interesting.
Lewis has had the benefit of a top car through this run with Mercedes, but lap one this week shows why he's the best driver. He's won championships by keeping his car out of harm's way where other drivers wreck. Everyone oohs and aahs at Max and the like and their overtaking moves, but one one 4 times they end up out of the race. Ever since the year where Lewis and Nico kept crashing, his calculus of when to push and when to give a guy room has been what's won him these titles as much as anything else.
Really interesting proposed layout for the Miami GP in 2021. Hopefully this race gets final approval and is early in the year.
In addition to. At least for two years I believe. I think Austin is under contract through 2022. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Miami is the perfect American city for an F1 stop. Hot ass chicks, yachts, stupid money. I really hope that tracks location is beach side.
F1 put out a lot of info on the 2021 season. So much so I really want to skip the 2020 season lol... I found this interesting...
I'm sure they have figured out how to handle this, but couldn't they just hide pnl on the engine supply side which gets spread across the customer teams?
The one thing I'm sure of is if both Ferrari and Mercedes are on board with this... They figured out a way to con the system already lol
Interesting top 3 in qualifying and then you have Lewis behind them trying to lock up the driver of the year.
Any of you ever been to this race? Good time? Wonder how different of an experience it is attending this compared to a NASCAR event lol?
Thoughts from COTA race. Congrats Valteri. Congrats Lewis. Congrats Mercedes. McConaughey you're weird.
Now that was a race!! One of the best ones I've seen while actually following F1 closely. I don't have anything against Ferrari and actually like both their drivers but did chuckle at Seb knocking both of them out.
Seb is a fucking idiot. Ferrari better get its shit in order for next year. Because Seb thinking he’s the #1 ain’t it.
I was blown away by Seb. He was going to keep the position. He came over way too early and he knows it. No way Ferrari can allow him to be #1 driver net year.
Next year is such a waste season. All changes come the following year. Curious how much money teams are really spending on 2020 vs 2021
In a way it could make for good racing as there is diminishing returns on development gives us a level playing field.
He was the highlight of the first season. I’m almost convinced they kept the driver lineup so he could provide the entertainment for this documentary series.
I think they were so lost with the car that they thought it was pointless to change the drivers. They were the 4th or 5th best in qualifying but 9th in race pace.
Also, I think Merc and Ferrari agreed to participate in some capacity so that is another thing to look forward to.
