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

I know Renault have rebranded to Alpine so wonder if that has something to do with it? I hope Cyril has got the tattoo - a bet is a bet.

I've been missing for a bit guys, am I too late to join the fantasy F1?

I think you can still join. Tattle is the name and this is the code: f0cb7ac62d

anyone watching FP1??? super happy for george to get that fastest time!!

He's doing a great job so far. I'm looking forward to seeing him during quali.

Bye mazepin
Leclerc is on fire today
Good luck everyone, looking for a great race

Great start for him!
Just hope for no more crashes just a nice fight of driving skills. Might be boring but prefer battling drives

FP1 5 mins in and guess who's spun???

LeClerc on the radio, "Mazepin will never change!"

Bless him

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.

Perez to Red Bull.......

 

[Saddlesoap]

I will try and remember to set it up. Was thinking I'd do it next year before the season start, but I could maybe do it now. I will investigate

I gotta create it next year before the season starts

Aston Martin launch confirmed for 3rd of March at 15:00. I'm at work

Nip off to the loo.....

I hope Alonso doesn't recover from his injuries in time so we can see the Torpedo go racing again. Even if it's just for one race.

'Alonso said today he's in the best shape ever and can't wait to start the season so it's doubtful.

 

[so_u_thinkimskinnyyy]

Bottas is shitting himself right now and it’s not just from all the coffee he drinks

 

[Reverend]

Sorry for them but the horror stories of people attending Brazil in the past have never made me want to attend.

 

[Lola123]

Continues to be this far behind? It's the third race. And this is the first qualifying Lando has beaten him in. Yes a shocking result, but not 'usual'.

(Am very protective of Daniel and want to see him do well, but this comment makes little sense to me)

What I meant was if this continues across the season, I’m sure there is no doubt he’ll be fine later on but you can imagine (or maybe it’s just me) if he continues to be further back than where he should/wants to be he will feel let down. I think it depends how much you like the individual drive too as to what your opinion, he’s got great potential and obviously it takes time to break in, will just be interesting to watch it over the course of the season
ETA: and apparently the mclaren driver who is out in Q1 has usually earnt a podium in this race so could be some sort of blessing for daniel

 

[Roundhouses]

Definitely. I know Abu Dhabi pay Megabucks to get the prestige of hosting the season finale, but it is an utterly shite race. They either need to change the season finale location or make major changes to the track to promote better racing.

God I hope the 2022 regs work and cars can race closer together.

Hamilton: Bono, tyres are still fine.

Well said. Everyone knows it’s boring, always is, something like for the past 6 years the top 3 have always been in the same order as qualifying top 3.

Also - I liked Hamilton’s reference to it possibly being a boring race in his post race interview! He seems to have a good understanding of fans’ mindset

Honda remain supplying red bull after all! I reckon Tsunoda joining Alpha Tauri helped that one.
