2021 Formula 1 Season Paddock

X2.. I personally think they are better…

 

I was aware he was a former champ. Started tuning into F1 his last 2 years at Mercedes. Was about the only one to pressure Hamilton those years. Hadn't really heard him in the press though

 

yeah he likes to stir up shit haha

 

He was a teammate to Schumacher before he was with Hamilton, so he learned from the best.

 

and there's a reason they call him Britney.

 

Too funny....and those darn Redbull guys are just too fast and too safe.....
"During the hearing Bottas stated that in the past they have been losing time in the pit departure. So they tried something new, which was to leave in second gear. As a result, the wheel spin was much higher and the result unexpected. "

Dang, there was me thinking it'd be safe to check in on the TW F1 thread but oh no there's a spoiler. I guess it's time to do some work "photo editing" aka watching f1 practice on the second screen...

 

Whilst I like listening to team radio during the race I think Max's idea/joke of getting rid of radio all together would be really interesting. No input from the team about tyre condition, track position, team orders etc. Leave it all to the driver to figure out.

 

FYI the W series is one of the support races this weekend to F1…

Is F1TV going to broadcast them?

 

Nope

 

Turkey is back on the calendar replacing Singapore

Commentator in FP2 - "My son who is quite the wit said. Dad did you see they have a new season of drive to survive starting. It's all about Nikita Mazepin, it's going to be a spin off."

 

double like.

 

I'm okay with mandating two compounds but let the teams choose whatever compounds they want for the weekend. If your think your car will work better with one compound than the other go for it. And give teams the recommended pressures and temps then let them run whatever pressure and temp they want. Maybe coloring outside the lines works in their favor and maybe they make a very expensive mistake.

 

Problem is, if the tyre goes pop then Pirelli look bad. Very bad press.

 

Not the tires fault...

He's driving himself out of a seat.

 

I haven’t done all the research, but was that 2nd gear dump VB’s idea or the teams?
