How epic will it be, if he finishes both of his fill in races ahead of Renault.
LOL

He is 11th after qually. Riccardo was 8th, Ocon 9th.

Track record broken twice in !3

It would be cool if he finished top 5 tomorrow.

Is Ferrari even trying with Vettal's car? Or is their goal to make sure Vettal is out of F1? At one point during practice he was trying to see what was loose in the front of his car by inspecting it himself.

Let's hope that it is not what is happening to his car as of late, this would be very irresponsible and damming to the Ferrari image.
Haas is also in trouble because the Ferrari engine is not performing, same for Kimi and the Alfa team.

Sainz would have been better off staying at McLaren for 2021.
Is Alonso confirmed for Renault in 2021?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3130 on:** August 01, 2020, 11:54:36 PM »

Yes it looks like Alonso is back next year.

Critterman · « **Reply #3131 on:** August 02, 2020, 12:49:57 PM »

Well that was a boring race until the last few laps.........

Hulk's car wouldn't start.......

LatinVenom · « **Reply #3132 on:** August 02, 2020, 04:17:18 PM »

The last few laps was the whole race, although there were some good racing in the middle pack. The Ferrari of Vettel still not doing well, he can not be to happy about it.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3133 on:** August 02, 2020, 04:44:24 PM »

Bottas ran a good race but his tires just couldn't go the distance.

Next week is going to be interesting with the switch in tire compounds.

elff · « **Reply #3134 on:** August 05, 2020, 11:15:25 AM »

Softer tires on same track.
2 pit stops if not 3.
That should make it more interesting.

Cause this race sucked until Lap 49. Especially because Hulk had to sit on the sideline.
I was really hoping Hamilton's tires blew sooner.

Critterman · « **Reply #3135 on:** August 05, 2020, 01:20:16 PM »

He did drive the hell out of a 3 legged dog that last lap. This week end should be interesting to say the least.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3136 on:** August 05, 2020, 01:21:03 PM »

Me too! I wanted Bottas to win so that it would keep Ham from running away with the championship points.

I want Hulk to be able to say "see I still belong here"

Critterman · « **Reply #3137 on:** August 05, 2020, 03:14:08 PM »

Yeah I want to see Hulk do well.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #3138 on:** August 05, 2020, 05:27:17 PM »

Hamilton was extremely lucky the tire did not fall apart completely, but remember Bottas did not place on the top ten so both drivers points would have remained the same if Hamilton would have failed to continue driving.

elff · « **Reply #3139 on:** August 08, 2020, 09:09:45 AM »

True.

It's painful to watch the HAAS and ALFA cars.

Interesting Penalties on the Pink Team. Guess their cars were a copy of last years MB's

My hope for this weekend is that Hulk is given the chance to race and prove he should be in the Sport.

Critterman · « **Reply #3140 on:** August 08, 2020, 01:18:27 PM »

Hulk P3 in Qually

LatinVenom · « **Reply #3141 on:** August 08, 2020, 04:49:57 PM »

Riciardo look good this weekend, Sains did not do well, just like Vettle. Ves will start on the white tires which could give him an edge unless there is caution 15 or 20 laps into the race.

elff · « **Reply #3142 on:** August 09, 2020, 09:13:52 AM »

In Qualifying, seems like only 1 driver from each team nailed it.
Interesting starting grid

TIME to Watch

Critterman · « **Reply #3143 on:** August 09, 2020, 11:05:53 AM »

And an interesting finish. Tires played a major part in this race as well with only 3 teams managing a 1 stop, some teams did a 3 stop. No tires collapsed but a lot of blistering. 19 cars finished.

Next week Spain and it will be hot.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #3144 on:** August 09, 2020, 02:59:39 PM »

Ferrari is really not doing well with Vettel and he let them know it, that was so poor of a call to change tires that would have lasted at least another 10 laps or more.
It was a good race to watch.
I will not comment on MB, that is left to you all and I hope you will.

elff · « **Reply #3145 on:** August 11, 2020, 07:26:41 PM »

That was a good race. Much better than last race. I'm happy with MB not winning.
Hulk was solid. Hopefully he snags something for 2021. More good mid pack racing and I always like lots of pitstops.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3146 on:** August 12, 2020, 01:19:06 PM »

Not sure what you want us to comment on about MB, They wore out their tires faster than Redbull and that was the race.

Bottas needs to find speed out there and build a lead while minimizing wear on his tires if he wants to win, just taking pole doesn't mean you get the win too.

MB told both drives they were free to race but avoid contact. Ham got the DRS advantage and past Bottas. Now maybe if the 2 had worked together and slip streamed off each other and kept trading places to take advantage of the DRS rule they might have gotten closer to Ver but that didn't happen.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #3147 on:** August 12, 2020, 03:54:27 PM »

Bottas was not happy with the way MB pull him into the pits vs Hamilton, that is what he was obviously upset about with the team.

elff · « **Reply #3148 on:** August 12, 2020, 08:25:28 PM »

If the pits were done differently, Bottas would have been able to maintain second place at least.
But you know what
He can cry himself to sleep over his bed of million dollar bills while driving 1 of the 2 best cars in F1.
LOL

Imagine being in a HAAS or Alfa Romeo car right now, with a shit ferrari engine. It's just sad.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3149 on:** August 12, 2020, 08:46:53 PM »

Imagine being in a Ferrari with one of those shit Ferrari engines. I'm not a Vettal fan be he got double f@cked by Ferrari this year.
