I was envisaging a situation where a middling team had one driver qualify 6th and one 9th - the one in 6th suffers an oopsy-daisy brake failure at turn one on Saturday and takes out four of the cars in front of him, the chap in 9th who didn't qualify well picks up a couple of racing places and ends up on the front row and the sponsors are delighted. Or maybe a situation where Hamilton qualified badly and Bottas found himself next to Verstappen on the front row on Saturday with every encouragement to be as carefree as he likes. Racing opens up all sorts of questions I guess. Still, it'll be entertaining and a good watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid concerns but again I think the punishments would be very harsh for anyone who did anything like that. Deliberately causing an accident is heavily heavily frowned upon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 28, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2021 Turkey has replaced Canada on the 13th of June So one of the best races (IMO the best) is gone and one of the worst takes its place. Fantastic. Canada is back in 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 1, 2021 Does Marzipan make it difficult to judge Schumacher's performance levels? It's difficult to know if he's doing his best in a slow car or whether he's just not quick enough because the other guy is so very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 2, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 2, 2021 I'm really not a fan of the modern F1 rhythm - Wait for the start, watch the start and one lap - then spend ten minutes under safety car so you can put the kettle on. They could really do with finding a way to keep racing going wherever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 2, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 2, 2021 Marzipan managing to cut across Perez and force him to put the anchors on while he's being lapped. Do you reckon he'll last the season without a ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 2, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 2, 2021 They've given him a five second time penalty. He's last and about 60 seconds away from anyone else - that five seconds will mean absolutely nothing to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Pretty crap race that. A decent comeback from Ricciardo and great to see Fernando with some overtakes though. Mega first stint from Perez as well showing just how well he can make tyres last, it's just a shame it was pretty much all ruined thanks to the waste of space Mazepin at the back. He was a minute behind Schumacher today ffs. It's actually pretty mental that he's going to be in F1 for years to come no matter what.

HongKongVillan Posted May 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2021 I'm guessing Mazepants is only here because he found Russian money as backers? Pretty embarrassing from him so far but I'm sure he thinks he is super human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Sigh Lewis pole again, Perez nowhere to be seen as well so the Merc will be laughing tomorrow. It's starting to look familiar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
