Farlz Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I love Max, think that's come across quite obvious in my posts. Definitely the driver I actively want to do well every race weekend. Also helps he's the only one capable of taking down Lewis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I like Lewis Hamilton, but I feel that may be a comment for the unpoular opinions thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 what a session from Norris, glad to see Perez getting in there and pushing the mercedes further down the pack as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 This is going very nicely. Perez in P3 ahead of both Mercs good to see as well. Lando is having a mega season, he's absolutely obliterating Danny Ric. Didn't expect that at the start of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Australia GP has been cancelled. Quote The 2021 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne has been cancelled for a second straight year due to “restrictions and logistical challenges” relating to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The Victorian government said on Tuesday the slow vaccine rollout in the state and the federal government’s recent decision to halve its cap on international arrivals made it impossible at this point to give assurances over the event’s viability. “While it is disappointing we won’t be racing in Australia this season, we are confident we can deliver a 23-race season in 2021 and we have a number of options to take forward to replace the place left vacant by the Australian Grand Prix,” Domenicali said. “We will be working through the details of those options in the coming weeks and will provide further updates once those discussions are concluded.” The lucrative Formula One race in Melbourne, one of the highlights of the Australian sporting calendar, was called off at the last minute in March 2020, just as the Covid-19 pandemic was taking hold. This year’s race had already been pushed back from its usual early season slot to November, when it was hoped restrictions would have eased. Victoria is almost free of locally transmitted coronavirus cases, but strict quarantine arrangements for overseas travellers remain in place. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jul/06/formula-one-australian-grand-prix-set-to-be-cancelled-again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted July 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2021 So it's sprint race weekend. Exciting. I think it could be amazing. Question - how much can the teams change the setup between sprint race and main race? If they can't change much it'll be interesting to see if any of the mid-to-lower ranking teams try to prioritise the shorter race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it sounds like minimal changes are allowed, and those are particularly around areas that could compromise safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Not sure I like this formant, that qualy just felt a bit irrelevant. Anyway, absolute Lewis masterclass that was. Work to be done for Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, absolute Lewis masterclass that was. Work to be done for Max. Irrelevant? How come? It determines the positions for tomorrow's race, didn't feel irrelevant to me. What I would say is that perhaps it doesn't need to have the full-on three-course complexity when it's leading into the sprint race but I get that they want full three-day event weekends so they want quali to still be worth being a ticketed event.

AndyClarke Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I went today and the qualifying and crowd reaction was amazing, our 3 boys did an amazing job. It does feel a bit hollow though but maybe the sprint race will be immense. Was quite surprised how the day built to crescendo in the way it did. Mostly a quiet crowd but by the time we got within an hour of F1 qualifying, there was attempts at a Mexican wave and cheering of the road sweepers....particularly if they beeped! This of course continued into qualifying which was about perfect as a Brit, only Lewis' slide on his last lap robbing us of what would have been an immense finale rather than a dramatic one. If you haven't seen an F1 car in action, I'd recommend it, long day but the cars are far bigger than you'd think and are absolutely brutal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted July 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2021 Found this interesting - and good for the sport if it achieves what it is trying to do. (Shame it doesn't show in here - but that is F1 for you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
