F1 2021 Season

I can definitely see a crash if Verstappen feels like he's stuck behind Bottas and tries to force something after a few laps.
 
I thought Bottas had a new engine last race? Have they really just taken another penalty to get in Max's way

Hope the rain hits!

Would like to see Norris win
 
Checking in, hoping for an awesome day out in the F1 thread.

What we thinking? Verstappen to make it to 5th? Lewis to get the win or just on the podium? Potential banana skins with the rain getting involved...
 
You could see that Hamilton was doing everything to not get hit in the first corners and was not interested in getting involved. Now it's settled down he will move through them.

As I type this he takes Alonso.
 
You're really better off not being on pole at Monza and places like this
 
Not the start that Hamilton would have wanted. The slip stream really seems to make that start crazy. Almost penalises people at the front
 
I think Hamilton got bogged down behind the McLaren and had to back off, and he probably did his best not to get hit as no point getting taken out and losing any chance of points

Would love a podium for Russell and win for Norris
 
Bottas definitely let Verstappen pass there. There was 0 fight.
 
Bottas is useless wheel to wheel.

Russell is backing Hamilton up into Leclerc and Max's clutches. Meanwhile Sainz and Lando sailing off into the distance.
 
This race has gone shit now. Probably won't liven up again till people start pitting.
 
Can’t blame Botas. Why would you do anything for that lot?

Hamilton wants no.8, he can earn it himself

Because he’s racing a car and would want to stay ahead of another driver. He might as well not step in the car again this season if that’s the mindset. Regardless of the fact he’s being paid handsomely by Mercedes to do just that.
 
Merc should try the undercut with Lewis, as he’s not getting past Riccardo on track
