2021 Formula 1 Season Paddock

I imagine so, should be interesting, hopefully no more shots of Valleri’s ass. Talking of I still have a few episodes to watch.

Toto is so serious, it’s quite amusing watching him when he’s stressed.

 

His response to “we have the lead! Oh no he’s in last!” Was epic. His self control is astounding!

 

Pretty positive they are filming because a driver referred to the “Netflix curse” early in the season. Can’t remember details now but someone screwed up again the time they were being filmed I assume lol. I can’t wait to see Gunther cuss out Mezespin the whole time

 

I want to see Hass team reactions every time Mazespin spins or almost causes a crash.

 

Yeah I think it was Yuki.

 

I road motorcycles for years and went through a lot of tires and I gotta say they make a great motorcycle tire. Not that there's an equivalency to F1 but consumer bike tires they did well.

 

Dunlop was my go to

 

I like Vetel during the last red flag...never left the car...never lost focus...

"Simon Roberts has left Williams following an internal restructure and will be replaced as team principal by Jost Capito, the CEO."

 

thanks @OZ-T !!!!

don’t really have a favorite driver but I refuse to root for Hamilton…

 

From CRASH.NET gossip column:

- Lewis Hamilton is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to stay with Mercedes until the end of the 2022 F1 season, but wants his winning bonus to be doubled. Meanwhile, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has set a 15 June deadline for talks to be concluded (Daily Mail)

- Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has revealed that Honda will hold off introducing its permitted engine upgrade for as long as possible in a bid to extract the most performance out of it. In contrast, rivals Mercedes and Ferrari moved onto fresh engines in Baku (Auto motor und Sport)


- The Circuit of the Americas is open to hosting two F1 races this year to fill the void left by the cancellation of the Singapore Grand Prix (ESPN)

 

Get rid of Hamilton and Bottas and put George & Nyck de Vries in the 2022 Mercedes… New car - new line up…

 

Another perfect opportunity to try some sprint races or something different

 

I see a Russell, Botas swap.

 

U think Bottas would take a demotion, I don’t.

I guess it depends what’s in his contract

 

He may not but to keep driving he would. He's already rich so the money wouldn't be a huge issue

 

He's only got a year to year contract. After how this year has gone for him, I think he's gone unless he wins the championship out of fucking no where. I think it'll be Hamilton and Russell next year at Merc, Ham will retire after 2022 unless he dominates the new car again, if not he'll blame the car/age for why he left

 

Or if he has a shitshow of a year he might want to be out.

If Toto wants talks to be done before summer then Ham will be around next year.

George is putting it out there he wants things buttoned up too. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/...an-the-end-of-the.6vWcqZDPOtEXShBDzXjKXh.html

Toto would be stupid if he doesn’t put George in that seat.

I guess if George does get the Mercedes seat Toto will have to step down as his manager.

 

Welp it seems like it's going to be a shit show year...3 podiums (3rd all three) then the rest are out of points or out of the race (2 of them)

I saw that he wants talks wrapped up soon as well, he sees the way Bottas has been this year ha. Wonder where else he'd go if not Merc

 

Performance this year would suggest that drivers have more quality seats to choose from. But the big tech changes coming next year cloud that picture somewhat. I still think there’s more top talent than top seats though.
