The F1 Thread

In shocking and unexpected news, Red Bull are set to announce Liam Lawson will replace Perez next year.

 

[Kenny]

Perez officially gone. Walks away with a lovely pay off after Christian "Hobbs" Horner gave him a contract extension despite him driving like I would if put in an F1 car

Lawson will get beaten even more badly by Max I’d imagine

Not so much the getting beat by Max but at least getting your car in a position to get decent points towards the constructors.

Whoever is in the other car will be expected to play the game to allow Max be Max.

Perez is the better racer but the cliff he has fallen off probably means Lawson gets more points for the team.

Oh I know that I just wouldn’t expect Lawson to do any better than Perez was doing but he might be better than I’m aware of.

Another day of shocks in F1...

Lawson confirmed at Red Bull
Bottas confirmed at Merc as the reserve driver

 

[Kenny]

Isack Hadjer in at whatever the other Red Bull team is currently called.

 

[Carrotdude]

I did laugh when they said they’re renaming it again as it turns out it’s confusing to have one team called Red Bull and one called RB

 

[Carrotdude]

That HP sponsorship really ruined the chance of a Ferrari looking good ever again huh?

 

[Tredman]

Seeing Lewis in red is very weird

Compulsory 2 stops at Monaco and must use all threetyre types

Still being discussed but no doubt it'll be made mandatory. Should help a little but still won't make it any kind of spectacle.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If everyone at the back sticks super soft and pits for clear air at the end of lap 1 it will be shit

 

[PuntsWolf]

Doesn’t make a difference what tyre you’re on at Monaco. So everyone will just react to everyone else much like it is now, will just mean there’s 2 chances for undercut/safety car drama rather than 1

Confirmed 2 stops but same on tyres as it is now - 2 from the 3 compounds must be used, unless it's raining.

Using all three compounds would have made zero difference any way.

It would have been a short first stint on Super Softs, then onto a long as possible Hard stint knowing that no-one can get past them any way. Then Mediums for another short final stint.

Same difference as always. Tyre compounds make very little difference around Monaco.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The McLaren us rapid
Red bull solid and max is quick
Lewis is a fair way off
Merc decent
Williams looks excellent

 

[Kenny]

Rain expected tomorrow?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yes but showers rather than a monsoon
