It aint over till the fat lady sings. I will say that was the most epic boring race in the history of F1. It is this kind of shit that needs to get fixed. | |||

Not the best race, though a good opening few laps. Hamilton will be the leading odds for the British doubleheader. He leads Bottas by 5 points, not over yet. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

You guys are killing me!  Do you really think in this age of hyper-wokeness that the German auto manufacturer is going to let anything stand in the way of their black driver from winning his 6th consecutive DC? Their driver who has jumped on the BLM bandwagon. Mercedes wants no part of cancel culture being directed at them. Bottas has about as much of chance to win the Driver's Championship as I do or you do. | |||

This is as much about race track design as about tweaking the aero of the cars. They need to stop racing on track where it is so difficult to make a pass No, Daoism isn't a religion | |||

Are you suggesting that Mercedes is secretly handicapping Bottas and that’s the only reason Hammy is winning? I don’t see it. As much as I don’t care for Hamilton, Bottas (original, 2.0, 3.0, or infinity) isn’t consistently up to his level. | |||

What possible conversation about tire options on formation lap could possibly have yielded a penalty for Haas? Teams discuss timing/types/strategies for tires all the time. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

I can't think of a bigger indictment of the series than Lance Stroll finishing one off the podium. I'm still watching but I actually look forward to IndyCar any given week. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

Max had an eventful day with his crash then as the only guy that was anywhere near the Merc’s. Vettel looked in much better form and drove as well as he could with the equipment he had. I would like to see what Max or many others could have done in the ‘19 Merc. Perez just doesn’t have the pure speed although he seems to be very steady and takes the opportunities. He didn’t have a particularly good day and Stroll looked better than he is because of that. Born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. There was a lot of hard but respectful racing as there should be but often isn’t. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

No, I’m not saying they are handicapping Bottas, but if it came down to it they’d tell him to let Chinstrap through. 100% no doubt. | |||

I suggest you pack up and leave the thread if you are going to continue trolling us. | |||

I've been a dedicated F1 fan for close to 20 years, but the past few seasons have turned into a bad joke. The engine rules freeze for the past several years has been a disaster, and the extension of it for yet another season due to "COVID" ensures at least two more boring championships for Mercedes. I still watch, mainly because my teenage son has become a fan and as Ferrari fans it's something we can enjoy (and bitch about!) together. We even had tickets for Canada this year, but that got scuttled. Maybe next year. | |||

100% not trolling, but the fix is in. Mercedes is going to win their sixth and seventh consecutive Constructors Championship and Chinstrap will win his seventh and eight Drivers Championship this season and next. If you choose not to believe it, so be it but it’s going to happen. The current rule set don’t allow the other teams to make large enough changes to tip the balance in their favor. | |||

Huh. That's something I didn't know and makes almost zero sense. But clearly that would be a breach then. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Sounds like some folks didn't watch the years when Williams, McLaren, Lotus, or Ferrari dominated and often qualified a second or more at every race and the two team cars were a lap or more ahead. I'd like to see a rule change so smaller teams could purchase the big teams designs or equipment but it had to be the same spec as the factory cars and parts. Limiting them so each team has to create almost everything but the engine has raised the costs to compete tremendously. This rule is relatively recent. March was created with that business model in mind and Lotus sold off cars to other teams for years. Everyone seems to think that the design is what fans want but look at the cars in preseason testing without the livery and see if you can tell a Ferrari from the Red Bull teams. You don't even get to see the close up technical stuff that is amazing engineering and craftsmanship. Just a small example here: https://www.theverge.com/2018/...ix-behind-the-scenes Another part most didn't see or soon forget was in the pre-race show after Max put his car into a wall with LF suspension damage due to the wet track. His mechanics had under 20 minutes to do the repairs on the grid, showing incredible coordination and skill. They put the front wheel back on 25 seconds before they would have been forced to retire the car before the race even started and he drove the car to second place. https://www.formula1.com/en/la...G9SwTg0ZylfMLaj.html ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

That was pretty remarkable. Christian said after the race that's normally a 60-90 install. They were getting after it. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Hopefully a good sign of steps in the right direction for Alex. Not much detail, but I get it.

Always liked Imola in the old days. Be interesting how the current F1 cars do on it compared to the past. Know nothing about the track in Portugal. | |||
