The F1 Thread

What is wrong with Bottas - thats got to be very embarasing.

A mixture of not being happy with the set up and probably feeling some pressure. Being the all but in name number 2 driver is a great gig. This weekend he is number 1 and has to show the kid who is the top driver. Be amazed if he doesn't take Pole though

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

P2 top of the table for Wolverhampton Wanderers' George Russell too.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He looked great but is sensible enough to acknowledge that all things being equal Bottas is really a tenth and a half ahead.

 

[Nando]

He's a special talent. It's almost been forgotten that he absolutely hosed up back to back in F3 and F2 which is not at all easy. He's caught a real rough deal having to plod around in that boat for two years (and with another year to go) considering his exploits beforehand. Whatever you think of the calibre of his F1 teammates, to have a 100% record in qualifying is incredible.

Well only if they allow Bottas to go off track limits...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Russell said Bottas gained a tenth there max. Hugely impressive stuff by George though. Quali is going to be fun.

 

[Nando]

Absolutely sensational stuff in F2. Amazing wheel to wheel racing.

I’ve not seen much F2 this year but that was great. Mazepin looks a twat though, constantly trying to put people in the wall, that won’t go down well in F1

 

[jlo]

Just thinking that about Mazepin, ridiculous more than once. But yeah F2 this year has been immense

 

[Kenny]

That was quite ridiculous from George. In a car that he doesn't fit in properly and is battering him on every corner he is half a blink behind Bottas for Pole and 1 whole blink ahead of Max.
Hope he can hold his nerve and get a Podium spot

In other news, it looks like Albon fancies a year off from F1.

 

[Carrotdude]

Damn that was so close! Yeah surely red bull won’t keep Albion, Perez the most likely you’d have thought. Fingers crossed for George tomorrow!

 

[Nando]

Just astonishing racing again.

Mick doing his very best to throw the title away.

 

[The Bear]

I know the Grosjean crash was the biggest crash to happen for years, but seeing Sky constantly replay it and show every interview over and over for every session they're on the air is getting a bit tedious now.

 

[The Bear]

Gwon George! Shame about the safety car as he'd already pulled a big gap.

 

[The Bear]

FFS Mercedes.

 

[Nando]

That's a fucking shambles - I'd be absolutely livid if I was George after that.

 

[The Bear]

Two absolutely brilliant passes.

 

[Nando]

You couldn't fucking make this up.

 

[Tredman]

Would be brilliant for Perez if he does this in possibly his last race.

 

[The Bear]

You couldn't fucking make this up.

Gutted for him. Mercedes have lost him this race with that pit stop fiasco.
