F1 Formula 1 Gossip

just need to introduce a power limit for the new 2021 engines at the same time. One that is achievable by all teams and things would really liven up!
 
Note to F1 Stewards "GROW PAIR!!" What a bloody cop out. They should be ashamed.:mad::mad::mad:

dunno Tony, it made for good racing. I assume you are talking about the Leclerc/Hamilton incidents?

When Leclerc squeezed Hamilton onto the grass, Leclerc had the lead and could argue he was running out to the racing line out of that corner. Hamilton as the chaser could have backed out earlier.

When Leclerc bounced over the rumble strips, he didn't gain from it, Hamilton closed the gap.

Nice to see it not going all Mercedes way for a bit, nice to see some wheel to wheel rather than endurance racing. Hamilton and Mercedes have got the championships sown up already, I think I commented on that a page or two ago. They don't need all the points and all the trophies, but we do need competition and racing.
 
It is good to see Ferrari putting up a fight, but I do think if it had been another driver other than LeClerc then they would have been made to take a penalty for not making the corner especially after the black and white warning flag!
We'll be calling him Schumacher next! ;)

No argument over the racing. Its the inconsistency of the Stewards I'm p***** off with. And Leclerc did not leave Hamilton a cars width, which he should. I don't see how you will ever get fair wheel to wheel racing when one guy is on tarmac and the other is on grass. Hamilton won't be done like that again. If the chasing driver has the onus on him to "back out" how will anyone ever be able to overtake?

It does feel like the stewards had a bet on ferrari winning somehow with the 2 instances that were virtually ignored.

Maybe they've got virtual stewards as well as virtual safety cars!! =))

I don't think it'll bother Hamilton too much as the rest of the circuits will favour the Mercedes now anyway and it's only a matter of time again.

The 2 "power" circuits have been and gone.

It'll be interesting to see how Vettel performs over the remainder of the championship as he's definately being outshone at the minute, and I think we may see Verstappen come forward a bit more now the circuits are more biased towards corner speed and handling.
 
It's 6th title for Hamilton as Bottas wins in Texas.

An expensive time if you were there like our friends were. They left Florida last week and flew to Texas on Thursday. On Friday they went to the circuit around 8.00am where it was a balmy 1 (ONE) degree Celcius. Dawn tells us today that a beer set you back $12 and pint bottle of water a mere $5.

Another sublime Championship Tony. Mr consistency. Bargain on the beer then :wideyed:
 
I'll find out what the other costs are in comparison the Silverstone Andy. Shame Lewis couldn't win with a win but second wasn't a mile away.

Tony.
 
Yes congrats to Lewis, Bottas started the season with a win, so that's 4 wins now, just not good enough to be a contender!
 
Unbelievable. He has all the potential to beat Schumacher. Bring on 2021!
 
Probably driven on a few bits of that as we left Miami in the past.
