Would love to see Lando on the podium tomorrow. Hopefully Hamilton/Bottas/Verstappen can have a nice crash and take themselves out. Albon will do an Albon and bottle it. Lando wins, Sainz gets a podium so they can have one last special moment together. And like Gasly can get third.

Well, I can live with hopeless optimism.

I like your optimism

Don't really mind if Max gets a podium, but really don't want Merc up there. (Although I do have Lewis on my Fantasy team.... and I need s good score to beat my husband )

ITS HAPPENING.

George is confirmed for Mercedes. Whyyyyyy am I working this weekend

 

[Froggies]

I am also gutted for George. F1 will be back to parading behind Hamilton rather than some actual action

 

[so_u_thinkimskinnyyy]

Incredible. Still can't believe he's ok.

crazy isn’t it. i read earlier that they actually had new suits brought in just this year. the old one were lighter but only fended off fire for 10 seconds but the new ones keep it out for 20! shame they didn’t update the gloves but still he’s really been lucky with this

 

[so_u_thinkimskinnyyy]

Danny Ric yay!

Gutted for Lando.

bloody buzzing for daniel! he’s so pure

 

[StephenTJackson]

And it's lights out...on Perez's steering wheel.

What a disaster.

 

[StephenTJackson]

Mercedes, go fuck yourselves because you've just fucked George and Valtteri!

Interestingly the FIA published an updated entry list for next year, Hamilton is listed as confirmed for Mercedes even though as far as we know no contract has yet been signed. Just leaving the Red Bull and Alpha Tauri second seats up for grabs.

Hamilton definitely running scared from Russell I think. Toto is running scared from making the mistake of resigning Bottas by encouraging him in qualifying etc. Bottas is aware he is now officially on borrowed time if Hamilton is staying longer term.

The excuse Mercedes came out with for the pit stop shambles last week seems like shite. During a radio communication from the pitwall to pit crews Russell tried to radio in and it got interrupted and ended up messing up the message to the pit crew for which tyres first. Seems dodgy to me.

i noticed that too, pretty much hamilton confirmed then. i really do hope george gets a seat so hamilton can really get a run for his money.

the whole covid situation just seems off to me. i can’t understand why he’s so hush hush about how it was. no full answer about how he was and condone “wasn’t good” he’s miraculously made a full recovery. considering how intense of a sport it is and how demanding it is on your body, i’m really surprised he’s back (if he even had it)

I know Mazepin is a mess. But I just watched the f1 numbers video, and this is the first time i heard the guy. I am shock how good his english sounds. I expected something like Daniil K.

 

[Lauz666]

I love the Aston Martin and Seb looks so happy

 

[StephenTJackson]

Mugello was such an entertaining race. I love a circuit with the old school gravel traps, certainly gives the drivers an incentive to keep their driving tidy!
It'll definitely be lovely to see Imola raced on again.

Gravel traps should be compulsory at race tracks. Proper punishment for going off. Compared to Paul Ricard where you can be a mile off track and still get back on to the circuit with no damage. Bloody awful track.

Cyril Abiteboul is leaving Renault. Wonder if he still got/is going to get the tattoo for Ricciardo's podium.

Christian Horner, Helmut Marko and Red Bull/Alpha Tauri might be able to crawling back begging for Renault engines if they have to now Cyril is out of the picture. I think the very poor relationship between him and Christian was a key part of the Renault/Red Bull breakdown. And Renault would be mad to turn down two teams paying for engines now they have no customers, it would help the finances.

Obviously this is all dependent on Red Bull not being able to carry on with the Honda engine independently.

 

[Red hair dont care]

Oops young Mick,needs a new nose

 

[Rubythefirebat]

Alo at home looking amazing

 

[HaloGirl]

@HaloGirl You are right. I read it on reddit that he asked fanpages to take down the video. But i do not remember if he appologised. I follow wtf1 insta and they did the whole "wesaynotomazepin" wich is great, but i really waited for some commet on Charles. I know they love him, but still..

I am not surprised his girlfriend piggybacks his ferrari fame.

He did not apologise. Charles has a young following so again I thought he should have accepted what he did was wrong. I can’t imagine he would be too happy if someone pulled on his teeth.
Hope you are able to stream the McLaren launch ok.
I think Daniel looks good in orange!

 

[GoLando]

Definitely a bland race but at least there’s only one week to wait for the next.

I do not like Rosberg at all, but the games he and Lewis played when R won, was crazy entertaining. Like two toddlers, but it worked. I can only see Alonso being able to keep up with this kind of fuckery.

I was so sad when Nico retired because I loved all the drama the two of them being team mates brought. Absolutely, Alonso is ruthless, I don't really like him but he sure makes the sport more entertaining.

It’s only for three races, can’t imagine it will stick but looking forward to see how it goes. Love it for F2 one thing that sucks is having to do quali on catch up since most of us will be at work. Having said that, I’ve booked the Friday off before Silverstone as I was/am of allowed planning to go so that works well!

I'm 100 % sure it will stick. Remember when they had this terrible elimination qualifying in 2016? It was a mega disaster in Melbourne, and EVERYONE agreed that it was terrible, yet they sticked with it for Bahrain, and, surprise, it was again terrible, and only then they finally decided to ditch it.

With this system I can't see a outcome where at the end of the day anyone would say: Well, that fucked everything up, let's use the other system again. It will get the credit for any somewhat good race, even if it actually wouldnt have been different under the other system. The only scenario where I could see them ditch it is if both the sprint and main races are terribly boring, but let's be honest having two terrible races each in Silverstone, Monza and Sao Paulo (so six overall) seems very unlikely. They picked the right tracks to sell this (IMO stupid) idea.

I just hope it wont be a big enough success that they are going to use it for every race. At the end of the day the official pole sitter should be in most cases the quickest of qualifying. At least they didnt went for the original idea of a reversed qualifying race, because that would have been pure BS.

It seems typical F1 though: the qualifying is in place like this since 2006 and it's pretty much the only thing about F1 that in my opinion is perfect.

How did you survived when Kimi had to go to rally?

I watched some rally
