Grand Prix thread Grande Prémio De Portugal 2021

Too busy defending to remember to take the racing line.

 

another thought comes to mind, he's being a good number 2.
Bottichello

 

I don’t think Bottas would do that. Not at this stage of the season.

 

Time to bring in Lewis.

 

I think he will have to start obeying team orders later in the year , but not yet . I expect he knows / feels this will be his last year with merc . So he will drive for himself as long as he can .

 

will Perez switch to the softs?

 

That might be good fun

 

Nice bit of encouragement from toto to bottas

 

Well his defensive move was definitely a pile of number 2.

 

Mazepin. What a spanner.

 

Mazepin should be banned on safety grounds.

An absolute horrible, horrible little ****

 

I wonder what will happen with Haas if the FIA decide to take Nikita's super license away

 

I totally forgot how Mercedes fix every race in Hamilton’s favour and that he isn’t stratospherically better than Bottas on most weekends

I don’t like Hamilton either.

but I can put it to one side to acknowledge he’s pretty damn good.

 

Nice one alonso

 

5 fing blue flags and he still pulls that stunt

 

Can Perez get on podium or just fastest lap point?

 

Much as I like the idea , it will never happen

 

Perhaps the last seven years have left me overly pessimistic, but I'm not seeing ebb and flow.

I'm seeing Mercedes getting faster every race now they've got on top of the issues they had in testing.

I guess we'll see in the next two or three races.

 

Looks like Alonso has worked out how to drive the Alpine

 

It looks like it’s mainly tyre warm up. They look a bit vulnerable for a lap or two after putting new tyres on then it sorts itself out. I wonder if what might introduce some ebb and flow is variations in track temps. Although if they are staying in touch in cooler conditions it could be ominous for the rest when it’s warm.
