Not long till Imola . I was in hospital for Bahrain so I missed it! Looking forward to this weekend

Ah, well hope all ok and enjoy all this weekend. I caught Sky F1 earlier live press interviews it was Pierre and Yuki. Bless Yiki very nervous I thought, lots of um yeah um yeah. Bit strange they have changed the press interviews not team mates anymore except those 2. Didn't see Lewis and Seb apparently complementing each other.

Has anyone been to any races? Or have ones they'd like to do?

i have! the abu dhabi gp last year, amazing

 

[Hereiam44]

where is this from???

It’s the celebrity gossip email Popbitch that gets sent out every week. It’s normally pretty bang on the money...

Definitely think Lewis will get lando and Charles easy but I just hope Lando can hold on for a podium

Lewis will fly past Lando, and I can deal with that. As long as Charles stays behind Lando.

 

[Red hair dont care]

I think he will stay. I am sorry for Bottas, but he can't challenge Hamilton.

I'm not so sure about Lewis did you see earlier that chat with Sky F1 hecis looking towards his future kids etc. And more than likely move to USA.

Just don’t touch him lewis. Make it clean please

I started watching again this year especially after Sky F1 had a good deal. Loving it!
The fact the drivers seem more like real people again is a good help, especially as I watch MotoGP which has been especially epic this year too

I’m just bored of HAM BOT VER top 3. Loving the odd wildcard addition to the podium!

Lewis still hasn’t signed for next year, and he’s got his off road team set up. Wonder if he’ll go? Quite a few drivers have already signed for next year already.

Sainz is doomed with the engine freeze, he’s better off where he is now but it’s too late.
Mega excited for Lando and Danny Ric in the same team.

from that post race interview with lewis, i was getting last season vibes

he was talking about when his peak would be and he was almost implying that he wants it to be this year because it’s his last lol

I don't belive the drama queen!

 

[Saddlesoap]

I'm honestly not sure Lando and Danny Ric is gonna be as good as we all hope. Maybe it's just because I'll still be missing Carlando and I'm just not ready for something new.

Maybe it's just cos I adore Danny and want him to have a team mate I like. Didn't warm to Esteban (although this year I'll be cheering him to beat Alonso, whom I can't stand)

 

[Saddlesoap]

Reading too much into it imo. He was on Social Media break during his Covid infection, so understandable to not post during that (besides he didnt make a real mistake there anyway). And when Russell beat himself up over throwing points away due to a huge mistake in Mugello Lewis posted a similar message. It's a really nice move and I don't see any reason to read anything bad into it. Norris is actually one of his biggest critics on the grid, so he had many reasons to not compose a message like this.

I just think it was weird not to mention Georges race in the Merc at all.

 

[StephenTJackson]

Definitely rooting for McLaren tomorrow, since as of next year I'll be wearing orange. I've kinda been team-less since Daniel left Redbull, never warmed to Renault.

I know what you mean about Renault. They were great as Lotus because they were at the forefront of social media bants.

But these days Squirrel ABitBullshit pisses me off randomly. And I can't believe they are still living in the past resigning Alonso.

 

[StephenTJackson]

Bottas just isn't good enough. He was signed as a quick replacement for the unexpectedly retiring Rosberg. He's kept his seat by being formerly managed by Toto. And it being easy enough for Bottas to be P2/3 in most races.

He's never actually shown the talent that shows he deserves a top race seat. Front of the midfield is where he should be at best.

 

[PenelopePitstop]

I know I am already not a fan of the Green Aston Martin..... but I like the McLaren outfit

 

[StephenTJackson]

Well the usual 3 for normal 3 but surprised by Verstappen not on the front row. Something not right?

The lack of improvement in times across the board from Q2 to Q3 was strange. Soft tyres maybe not working very well for everyone.

 

[Saddlesoap]

Just want to say I was gutted for Perez that Stroll beat him to Pole yesterday. I'm thrilled that it's mixed up (not a Lewis/Mercedes fan) but really wanted Perez to trump Stroll.

 

[StephenTJackson]

I'd love the Hulk back in F1 he deserves a drive. Hope Perez gets a drive also, it's terrible how he has been treated to keep daddies boy in a car!

Haas could do a lot worse than signing Perez and Hulkenberg if they were both willing to sign and Haas brave enough to replace both drivers at the same time and pass over their youngster Deletraz. Even for a year because both would be potential targets for a bigger team if they have vacant seats. Problem is there isn't enough seats for drivers who want them.

 

[Rubythefirebat]

The best thing Liberty did, is the theme song. I love it!

Oh nooo Perez car stopped!

 

[conrea37]

So Honda have announced they are quitting after 2021. Red Bull and Alpha Tauri are engineless with Renault the likely only engine manufacturer able to supply them. Merc and Ferrari will obviously refuse, Renault will be obliged to supply under the regulations. Bit awkward after the far from civil divorce last time around.

The tea is RB have known since the start of the pandemic but haven’t sorted it out yet

 

[HaloGirl]

Yay! Well done Lewis!!!!!! Great start to the season.

 

[Red hair dont care]

Oh eck red flag the race. Well lots to clear up after that crash between George and Bottas. Thankfully both ok
