Formula 1 2021

Qatar joins the F1 calendar. 4 races in the Gulf now.

[Asha]

**** sake.

 

Give it a few years and the calendar will just be 8 races in the gulf, 15 in the US and then Monaco.

[Asha]

People complained about Zandvoort “only being on the calendar for Max” but at least it oozed character. What’s the alternative? Bin it off and add Kuwait and Oman?

Nothing appears to have been learnt from Belgium re: the weather.  The conditions making this a lottery.

What can they do about the weather? It is what it is. The lessons that needed learning was what to do regarding the race and fans. The two laps behind the safety car in Belgium were a joke. But the fact its shit this weekend is just one of those things, they can't change it, they can only change how they react to it tomorrow.

Really don't get how you can whinge about weather in this session lmao

[Facecloth]

Russell was on for a decent lap, messed it up in the last corner 🙄

They could also have changed how they reacted to it before qualifying today following FP3.  Instead, we're left waiting around and the rain starts back.  Luckily it didn't ruin Q1.

FP3 I'm guessing.

Class from Alonso

[Super_horns]

Best possible result for Hamilton.

 

He’ll be hoping Bottas can hold up Verstappen.

 

A Haas getting into Q2!

Why do the f1 ch4 commentators and some drivers still proceed to wear face masks?

Especially  when most of the time it's all outside

A lot of the countries that they are broadcasting from have different rules to here. the easiest thing to do is wear one !

Fair point.

[Zear0]

Nice damp track to start on. Expecting an Austria-esque pile up at the first turn myself. 

[StanSP]

Crazy 

 

[Legend_in_blue]

Bottas needs some of that Hungaroring magic and take out Max on the first corner.  

 

Job done.  

[UniFox21]

Was hoping for a more exciting first corner than just a spin 

[StanSP]

Conditions look bad and may get worse. 

Who hit Alonso? Leclerc? 

 

Lots of spins already.
