FORMULA 1 ARAMCO GRAN PREMIO DE ESPANA 2021: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

What a waste. The pitstop really costed RB

 

[a

ll started yesterday by perez massively underperforming

 

True. However, Bottas did a little of Perez’s work lol

 

Not really. Unless you mean mercs pitstop.

Perez bad quali is largely to blame

 

???

 

I hope that wasn't Bottas' idea of "I'm going to fight to win" because Lewis got around him without much work. I'm wondering Bottas had a quick change of heart.

 

In other words max controlled the entire race. The team screwed max.

 

Well, Merc did the best strategy, had the fastest car, all normal...congrats to chuck, very nice race...

 

Max did hid best, but the Merc was much better, nothing he could do...

 

Well, two stops is the strategy. S-M-M or S-M-S...

sjd

 

I meant that tyre problem.

 

Hamilton had fresher tires. Not certain what VB was doing. Clearly Merc did a 2nd stop for Hamilton to shoot for the win. VB was losing time to Max so it wasn’t even an issue of thwarting Bottas v Verstappen.

 

That was on Horner. Nobody else.

 

May be Redbull hired some Ferrari strategy staff?

 

At least our pitstops have drastically improved !

 

The Merc was insanely faster than RB on the mediums. Charles drove like a champ, please have a top car next year. It's boring to watch Bottas, who drives like crap, get podiums.

 

Damn, another complete yawner of a race season. Subbed to F1TV today and then unsubbed. Indoor golf would be more exciting to watch.

 

Same 3 drivers on the podium. Again. Yawn.

 

Lewis :
« you are the best 1000 spectators in the world ! »

 

It's worse than watching Jeremy Clarkson flossing his teeth.

 

Hope so as well. Charles is on a weird island. The car isn't quick enough to tackle the RB/Merc., but Charles is on another level from everyone else to keep it ahead of them.

 

+1000

 

I wonder if there will be bad blood forming at Merc after this race. Two races where VB aided Max against LH in fairness to him, he’s certainly tired of people trashing his inability to compete with his teammate, but he’s playing with fire (the Portimao restart is the other incident)

Max probably wishes he had such concerns. His teammate needs to show up to help him.

 

Fun fact that Ratcliffe guy ..second richest in UK ...just moved to Monaco

 

As in the eighties, nineties, zeros and teens. Nothing new.
