Thanks for the reminder, looks like I have everything but practice 1

DVR had everything when I last checked.

Interesting results in P1 and P2

Are they seriously allowing Mazaspin onto these roads?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3429 on:** May 20, 2021, 07:33:08 PM »

Haven't watched it yet, did Megaspin take down more buildings then Hamas and Israel this week?

Critterman · « **Reply #3430 on:** May 22, 2021, 10:56:58 AM »

No, Schumaker did.

Well qualifying was interesting

elff · « **Reply #3431 on:** May 22, 2021, 11:56:42 AM »

Well that's one way to lock pole position.

Hopefully he does not have engine or transmission problems and that position holds.
Happily surprised by Giovanni
Happily surprised by MB being so low. This is a great chance for Max to gain back some points. But considering what happened in Qualifying will occur 1-5 times tomorrow. Always interesting because of that.

Not sure what happened to Ricciardo.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #3432 on:** May 22, 2021, 04:47:16 PM »

Yes, he sure did, but let's see what happens tomorrow.

This is why Kimi is my favorite driver

Well the race wasn't very exciting, but a few things did happen:

Point leader change in driver and manufacture
No yellow flags or safety cars
Fastest lap set was a new record
Fastest average lap record - almost 100mph
If it wasn't for bad luck, Bottas wouldn't have any luck.

Next one in two weeks.

elff · « **Reply #3436 on:** May 23, 2021, 05:08:54 PM »

I am really surprised they went the entire race without a yellow or red flag.
I really didn't think MazaSpin was going to make it without crashing.

Hamilton was unhinged. Especially after he lost out on the pits.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #3437 on:** May 23, 2021, 06:13:19 PM »

He sure was and that is one of the reasons I do not follow him, granted he is a great driver but he shows his true colors when things do not go his way.
I am glad Aston Martin perform very well specially Vettel holding 5th place.
Certainly like the podium mix but feel bad for Bottas.
Can wait for the next one in two weeks.

Critterman · « **Reply #3438 on:** May 23, 2021, 07:50:14 PM »

4 places he lost in that pit stop, two at the stop and two later when others stopped. Perez on the other hand went from 8th to 4th.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3439 on:** May 24, 2021, 01:18:17 AM »

Ferrari wanted that poll so bad they risked not running a car.

Bottas got screwed again in the pit.

Ham can suck it! He knew how important quali is at Monaco and he boned it. Too bad it wasn't his wheel nut that got cross threaded but this way he doesn't have anyone to blame but himself.

Good to see Noris on the podium. It was nice to see the Gulf paint scheme on the car too.

No safety car who would have bet on that?

elff · « **Reply #3440 on:** May 24, 2021, 10:47:34 AM »

Anyone else think the Equality and Environment plug at the beginning of F1, especially in Monaco extremely hypocritical.

The entire sport is nothing but rich people using fossil fuels to travel the world.

Seriously, just shut the

up and stop Virtue Signaling. We want to watch racing.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3441 on:** May 24, 2021, 11:05:12 AM »

Yes thought the same thing. Kind of like why are the cars hybrids? As they all take their private jets around the world multiple times per year.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #3442 on:** May 24, 2021, 04:35:30 PM »

Do not forget all the yachts in the marina with all the diesel and gasoline engines.

elff · « **Reply #3443 on:** May 24, 2021, 07:29:39 PM »

I wonder if they will air that next race, cause Azerbaijan.
Need I say more?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3444 on:** May 25, 2021, 11:02:27 AM »

Is that where the manhole cover destroyed a Williams car a few years back?

Critterman · « **Reply #3445 on:** May 25, 2021, 06:53:44 PM »

It is on the schedule and already showing up on my Betamax.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3446 on:** May 26, 2021, 10:02:09 PM »

Mine is showing practice 1 and 3 on Friday. WTF?

Critterman · « **Reply #3447 on:** May 27, 2021, 03:48:43 PM »

Mine as well with a repeat of practice 3 Saturday morning. I just did a manual report of it. I guess we will see.

elff · « **Reply #3448 on:** June 02, 2021, 12:38:26 PM »

Rumor has it Bottas is out next year and Russel will be replacing him and signed a 2 year deal.

Lots of articles about this on the web but here is one
