2021 Formula 1 Season Paddock

I don't picture Kimi (himself) actually writing "sincerely, kimi" ha ha

 

i think i agree.

 

I expected him to sign-off with "xxx ooo".

 

I love how the guys call kimi a drunk on Grand tour. Lol

 

Get rid of Will Buxton and replace him with Kimi.

 

Fixed it, had not enough run on sentences...

Looked at his IG, he calls his kids "icecubes" so great!

 

Wow, that's a narrow track. It will be interesting to see the "rules du jour" for track limits.

 

Wow, those Dutch like to hold a grudge.

 

That Hauger is pretty impressive.

 

I don't see a lot of overtaking happening tomorrow , might come down to whether Mercedes split strategy and force Verstappen to pit too early

 

Yeah he made some nice overtakes, sucked in the end for him. As usual, awesome F3 races.

Tomorrow will either be all about tyre management or if people are actually racing and not in a procession it’ll be about mistakes under braking. There is definitely potential for some brave moves and awesome overtakes.

Hopefully they won’t throw the red flag out every time someone crashes, it really f’s with the momentum of the race…

 

Zandavoort is an interesting track, drivers seem to like driving there, and I love their old school solution to defining track limits. In spite of the surprising lack of red flags that was a crappy Formula 1 race to watch. Just a Monaco style parade without Monaco. Unfortunately we are stuck with it at least until Verstappen retires because the rabid Dutch fans are a big money maker for the sport.
.

 

Damn that Checo, he certainly showed that passing was possible.

Disappointed in McLaren this weekend, they really didn't gel with this track, Norris really should have pushed to get past Stroll & George. Both Norris & McLaren lost 3rd in the championship, crappy weekend...

 

That race was more entertaining than I thought it would be but I think it will become more of a procession over the next few seasons as teams gain tire data

great drive by my boy Alonso again

 

Bottas to Alfa Romeo

He was downright belligerent on the first two laps. Kinda have to do that though on that track, it's barely two cars wide. But yeah a good drive. MB tried a ton of tricks but just didn't have the pace of VER (can't say RB because they seem to only have one proper driver these past couple of races). That hot lap from Bottas was cute. He's just a pawn now but at least he still can throw down a lap.

 

Russel to Merc. ...

Why is Giovinazzi's seat at Alpha questionable? I thought he signed a multi-year deal. So Alpha is getting two new drivers?
