2021 Formula 1 Season Paddock

not sure anyone is blaming Bottas , simply a reconstruction of events leading up to the stripping of the wheel nut and one of the contributing factors was that the car arrived off it's marks in the pit stop

 

I feel for the guy but not as much as I felt for Hülkenberg. I wanted him to succeed.

 

Ditto. One of my favorite drivers that never got a break. Bottas has all that time in the best car and does what?

 

besides finishing 2nd in the Driver's Championship to Hamilton for the last 2 seasons you mean ?

 

Yes. That's exactly what I mean.

 

Yeah, I expected him to out shine Hamilton cause he was hungry and had the talent. Wasn't the case. Who could given the same opportunity? How many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? The world may never know.

 

He did exactly what Mercedes wanted him to do. He wouldn’t be racing if he actually raced Hamilton.

 

The only drivers currently on the grid that would have a chance to beat Hamilton in the 2nd Mercedes seat is Verstappen and of course Alonso , I mean c'mon

 

I think Russell would give Lewis a run, especially after a few races in the faster car. Lando too. Leclerc, I want to say yes but can't quite bring myself to do so.

 

I hope Max wins the Championship and Hamilton retires.

 

I have this feeling Lewis will retire after this season.

 

Fairly amusing...

I had that feeling before this season. Turned out to be gas.

 

Love those quizzes when the drivers get to "let their hair down" as we used to say. Answer without their handlers and PR people.

 

Predictions for Baku? Honda sweep?

 

Mercs crash out and RedBull, Leclerc and Lando battle it out for the podium.

 

Lando on the top step.

 

Mazespin crashes.
