F1 2021 Season

If the rest of the GPS end 1. Ham 2. Ver who is champion? The contrarian in me hopes Hamilton takes it just for the national period of grieving it will cause here :wenger:

Lewis wins the WC if he wins today and then the 2 remaining races yeah
 
Merc have found their balance and are faster on the turns now. If things stand like this, they will probably win the lot. Abu Dhabi has fast turns as well, not sure about Jeddah.
 
If Perez is on a 2-stop vs Bottas 1, does he have the pace to catch up and still overtake for 3rd?
I think all of the overtakes he's had to make have cost him too much time.
 
Nobody will push it on the tyres now you wouldn’t think. Lewis and Max will both be told to look after them
 
It would have been really typical of Bottas if he had of got stuck in the gravel trap and helped Max get right back onto Hamilton.
 
Silly to keep him out so long on Mediums.

It almost feels like because Bottas had such a shit start and didn't hold Verstappen, Merc decided to ruin his race and not pit him
 
Why didn't they pit bottas? I don't get it. Did well over half the race on mediums. Unless they wanted to finish on Softs?
 
I think they were hoping for Bottas to stay out to be around Max when he pitted again, but it was always a risk and has lost them some serious points. He was nailed on for 3rd
 
Unfortunate for Bottas.

I'd like Alonso to get 3rd rather than Perez but unfortunately not happenings

I'd be inclined to pit if I was Lewis after the incident with Bottas
 
No he was in the fight for 3rd because of the 1-stop strategy.
I know, hence why I said "almost feels" like. Still, when they've been told it'll last 30laps by Pirelli, why are they pushing it so far.
 
Only just started watching.
How has if been ?

Bottas puncture has been the most exciting thing to happen.

Hamilton and Verstappen too quick as usual. Only action we are probably going to see is the battle for fastest lap.
