2021 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Anyone heard a good reason for George going backwards so quickly?

 

They say you "make your own luck"... but if Bottas' pitstop was 2.5 maybe he would have been far enough out in front of Verstappen to not need to mash the gas and spin the tires allowing him enough distance to get them warm so he could get into a groove. That pitstop was completely out of his control. Again, same with the sensor issue.

 

@gkomo TBH I took Valerie off of my F1 fantasy team last week and swapped him for Max. I can see it being another painful year for him

Also Lando is my No.1 and I’m quite chuffed seeing Lando ahead of him in the standings

 

I saw this article the other day and didn’t think much of it, but after the race Zac Brown confirmed that it is a serious test for a potential move to F1 in the future…

Currently McLaren share reserve drivers with Mercedes; the current Mercedes Formula E team drivers Stoffel Vandoorne and Nyck de Vries.

I’d love to see McLaren giving Mercedes a hard time but they just aren’t there yet. I’m happy for Lando to pick up the scraps and keep ahead of Ferrari though for sure…

If he can keep ahead of Valerie that’s even better

 

All that I recall was, "the car was undrivable".. Something about being a big problem when following closely behind another car.

 

Bring on 2022!

 

Interesting article ~

Apparently it seems Mazepin was voted Driver of the Day in Portugal in a "vote John Scott to the NHL All Star Game" type of shenanigans . Sky Sports F1 awarded Driver of the Day to Perez post race

Ah yes, the old Boaty McBoatface routine!

 

Looks like Russell may get a shot at Hamilton.....

i saw that on twitter. that's some funny shit. cover-up conspiracies in F1 lol

 

If Lewis was not boycotting social media...top story at ESPN...I am sure that he would have voted for Mazepin!

 

I wonder how much of the pedal box they would have to change to accommodate his bigger feet and lanky body and whether they can actually do it to the existing tub?

I guess all they need to do is put a booster seat in the Williams for Valerie... unless they would give Aitken the seat.

 

The comments on there make it seem like people actually like bottas

 

Cyril is off of unemployment

I'm sure people actually like Mazepin too.

 

His dad doesn't count.

 

Finally finished watching the first round of the F2 championship in Bahrain. It too looks like it's to going to be another action packed season, well worth watching if you've never followed it before...

Some promising talent in the F2 paddock. With half of the F1 drivers contracts up for renewal at the end of this season I'm thinking 'Silly Season' is going to be ridiculous this year!

 

Phew... I just read the back story...
