Read an interview with VES where he says 2021 will not be much different than 2020, this is do to the cars been pretty much the same. He said MB will be again the dominating force on 2021.
Let's hope Aston Martin with essentially a similar car to MB and Vettel driving, would give MB a run next year. I also read Vettel will immerse himself with the new team to get them to be at the top.

We'll see, but I am not sure Vettel is where he is this season just because Ferrari sucks.  Leclerc is driving the same car and doing a lot better.

No it is not the same car or the same crew, also he is paying back Ferrari for been unprofessional with him. You maybe right, but I think is going to be different with him next season.

Brand new track surface laid 1 month ago.  No race cars on it until P1.  They washed the track Thursday night and Friday morning before P1.  That lead to an exciting P1 and P2.  Rain on Saturday which made P3 and qualifying very interesting.  Qualifying ran long, I had it extended by 90 minutes and just caught the end.

Not saying anything else, watch it.

Slowest Qualifying I have ever watched, but required way more skill than a dry qualifying day. 
That was fun to watch.

That track and the weather really stuck it to the drivers.  I don't think there was a boring lap, something was constantly going on.

I am not a fan of Hamilton, but you have to give credit to the skills of this man and what he has accomplished.

Did you see Hamilton's tires when he parked the car.  Wow.
I felt bad for Stroll.  Turns out he had some damage to his front wing which just destroyed his tires.
Quote from: Racing Point
“During the team’s routine post-race car set down, we discovered damage to the underside of Lance Stroll's front wing that was a significant contributor to the graining issues he experienced during his 2nd and 3rd stints on the intermediate tyres,” the team wrote on Twitter.  “One of the strakes on the underside of the front wing had come loose and lodged itself in such a way that the blockage caused a significant loss of front downforce. The resultant loss of front downforce contributed to increased levels of graining.

“It was only after the race, when the car returned to the garage, that the damage and blockage to the underside of the front wing was discovered.”

I think finishing this race was a feat by itself.  Just look at how many times Bottas spun. 

They should just axe all dry event's  if it's not raining or slippery as hell cancel the weekend.
:lol:

I have been watching F1 since they started broadcasting here in the states,  I do not remember a race where dry tires were not used at all.  I remember the race in 09 where Lewis lost the championship because he went into the pits on well worn intermediate tires.  His rear tires had the treads showing and he slid off of the wet entrance lane into the gravel.  He got beached there and lost the race and the championship.  I believe it was his second season.

The skill required to drive that track in those conditions is amazing.

I think F1 needs to add some Arctic Circle races in say Dec or Jan to the series.

Snow or studded tires and they should be good to go.

Absolutely. 
And make the teams put the screws in themselves.  :lol:  Thats a ton of work if you have never done it.

I think the race in Montreal that Jason Button won at least started on dry tires, so I think this was the only race I have seen completely on wet or intermediate tires.

Albon stuffed it in to the wall in P2, red flag.   Dog running loose on the track right after it went green, red flag.  Mandatory testing of next years tires.  Made it hard for everyone to get ready for qualifying.

I guess ESPN/Direct TV did some BS schedule change at the last minute and my DVR did not record P2.

Push comes to shove, you can always stream it from here:

Practice 1, practice 2, practice 3, and qualifying are all there if you explore a bit.

Have fun!
