Formula One

I lost my enthusiasm for Lewis the year he was beaten by Rosberg. He spent all year complaining that the mechanics including chief mechanic were swapped by Mercedes and that was the reason he was not beating Rosberg. However at the start of the next season when Bottas joined the team Lewis was offered the choice to change the mechanics back, but declined the offer and kept the guys that he spent all the previous season moaning about.

As for this year, I would not bet against Lewis. Lewis was still getting over COVID last year and the areas where the track was suited best to Red Bull have been changed for this year.

Game over?

do you agree that an engine change should be allowed when the one being used is working well but has worn parts that have slowed the speed. Seems to defeat the object of cost cutting. The merc engine is faster when new but drops off as it ages, but still works. The Honda is slower but does not drop off so much.

Seems like swings and roundabouts don’t apply to the Merc.

Will Hamilton get a penalty for blocking the Hass, he didn’t last week, but I read yesterday that he has enough points on his licence this year, that one more transgression would mean a 10 place grid penalty.

That suggests the stewards may bottle it. If that happens, Max may have a point about his treatment being different to others, as the lack of Ocon’s penalty at the same corner last week.

Practice result mean zilch! I'm miffed, the only race that is live of the year and I won't be able to watch it.

Tomorrow should now be amazing drama.
pit stops and tyre differences potentially should be great to watch

can’t wait

Probably going to be the most spectacular race since Ben Hur.

I'll miss the lead up into it, god my booster at 11.00

Very appropiate for a Sunday JK.

I have to tape it and watch later - lets hope the BBC don't do a spoiler by announcing the result in the 6 o'c news - as they have done in the past!

I don't think you can rely on that, or any other media outlet! Especially if LH wins. I have spent the day trying to avoid the quili results but happen to look at the YouTube feed and the first video gave me the results. The only consolation was that it was the right result from my point of view but I appreciate others will have a different view!

It is the only thing keeping me with Sky currently. We are finding much more to our liking on Netflix at the moment. At least watching it live means no risk of a spoiler.
