2021 Formula 1 Season Paddock

RIP Murray Walker

 

Was a legend.

 

How long of a contract did Latifi’s dad buy him?
Would love to see Nyck De Vries in his seat...


Any bets on most aggressive driver of 2021? My vote goes to Mazepin.

 

Max

 

Beat me to it, 100% Max, always Max

 

I couldn’t agree more...

 

If Sergio brings his "A-game", I would be concerned that Max will get a little wild/aggressive but.....he has matured quite a lot.....more than his dad... . Otherwise, Mazepin would be my choice, based on his prior performance and not on his pledge to tone it down.

 

Yep, he’s getting soft in his old age but seriously he has evolved into a much better person and as a result will be a better driver.

Schumacher & Mazepin is going to be like Grosjean & Magneson all over again with Mazepin being the douche.

 

On second thought, Alonso might be most aggressive. Needs to hit the ground running and prove his point from the start.

That said, it's going to be fucking amazing seeing him, Seb, and Lewis on the track again together.

 

Lol, 24 hrs of track time over 3 days and the most exciting part happens on the last lap...

Kimi of course shrugs it off but would be nice to hear Carlos's side.

To me, that was Kimis corner and Carlos just tried to sneak in. No need for that in testing sessions.

 

Yeah, the footage is pretty light on what happened before but I think Carlos was maybe on a hot lap. Either way Kimi is just finishing the equivalent of 3xGP races and says

Looks like it’s gonna be a good season... except for Seb, again!

The original footage actually begins with the commentators talking and the shot is looking down the pit straight and the pit lane light is actually red, they then pick up the footage of Kimi & Carlos. I wonder if

and a MSC...

From 2001

 

Deja vu!

 

Depends if this is the version they used for filming day which was pretty much the 2020 car and not the 2021... but I’ll play...

 

The rear's longer has less brake ducting, the front spoiler fins slightly different in shape and curve.

 

Wow the Jeddah track looks cool

I don't see many places to pass, except for the last "straight" right before the final left. That simulation makes the track look as tight as Monaco. Looks to me like the finishing order will be set on Saturdays and confirmed at the start.

 

Concur. My first thought was a stretched-out Monaco! Ha! Maybe at 1 & 2 if they do DRS on that section before.
