Admin Maesknoll Red Posted October 26, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Really enjoyed it, the strategy interests me as well as the wheel to wheel racing. Hamilton may yet have to take another ICE, so when they do that will be interesting. Personally hope Verstappen wins the title, if his tyre hadn’t blown and Bottas hadn’t taken him out (unintentionally I appreciate) he’d be even further ahead. Hope there is a good battle to the end with nothing to mar the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Londoner Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Unfortunately Mexico was decided pretty much at the first corner, i saw someone on twitter suggest that it’s made mandatory that teams are made to stop twice, there could be some legs in this as it was the differing strategies that made Austin so watchable. There was a hint of it with Hamilton and Perez yesterday but it’s not really the same when the leader is far down the road It does look like it’s Max’s title now, i actually don’t mind Max its Horner who irritates me although so many things have gone in his favour this year with the exception of Silverstone, winning when an unscheduled rule change only impact your main rival does seem a little hollow however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted November 13, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Some shenanigans going on in Brazil, more drama than the Old Vic…..

More likely he realised that the DRS had something amiss, as Hamilton was so fast, whatever Verstappen did will be on plenty of video, so that can be cleared up easily.

East Londoner Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 It seems potentially the title has been decided in the stewards room. Is something of an anti climax. F1 has this unique ability to shoot itself in the foot Obviously it’s not over till the fat lady sings but Lewis now effectively needs Max to have a dnf to have a chance which could happen but is probably unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vettel was disqualified earlier this season for not having enough fuel left in the tank to test at the end of a race, he appealed and lost. The fact that Hamilton gained a second on Verstappen from the last GP did point to quite an extraordinary performance increase. 7 hours ago, PHILINFRANCE said: Of course, I was being facetious when I suggested sabotage, hence the .

I know it’s just very unfortunate timing, fortunately Lewis’ comeback drive in the sprint looks like the penalty isn’t going to be the deciding factor which is what nobody wants. Imagine the uproar if for example Max had to change his power unit at Abu Dhabi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a bit different tomorrow, but I expect him to be on the podium if there are no incidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 How Max has 22% on driver of the day shows it as the joke it is. Hamilton and Norris should easily be the top 2 on that, Lando having to come back from last to get in the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) And if Max had actually been penalised for his dirty driving he doesn't get 2nd. Great drive by SLH though Edited November 14, 2021 by JamesBCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Don't really understand how or why Lewis' greatness is still called into question. Comparing era's is of course hard. But especially if he wins an 8th title this season he surely has to go down as the greatest ever. He's not dull like Schumacher was either, he's a proper box office racing driver. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
