F1 2021

[Ax^]

he could crash into Norris

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Was just thinking, might Bottas still have a part to play after all...?

From 6th? Seems unlikely.

Lewis and Mercedes taking the hard tyres to 45 laps but Verstappen gaining .333 of a second every lap.
Verstappen's tyres some 20 laps less worn...

Going to start getting into traffic soon

 

[Hollis]

 

[Ax^]

will Alonso have a part to play

 

[Ax^]

Oscar should have a seat next year

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Gaining over a second per lap now, going to be right on his tail by the flag.

 

[Ax^]

still 5 cars for verstappen to get by

 

[Lord Camomile]

Jaysis, really hoping there's not a blown tyre somewhere in Hamilton's near future

 

[Hollis]

Don't think of Nigel Mansell..

 

[Ax^]

lattiffie fuck

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh. Fuck. Me

 

[Lord Camomile]

Hamilton's tyres may have lasted round the laps, but do they have any chance in a restart.

Verstappen pits and Hamilton still stays out???!

 

[Ax^]

da fuck is with Mercedez

 

[ricbake]

Max on softs isn't Lewis going to change?

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm not a professional with 7 championships under my belt, but what the fuck are Mercedes up to? Are they some kind of "no pit stops" purists?!?

 

[Ted Striker]

What happens now?! They are talking about a restart? Shirley they don't grid up again?

 

[Limejuice]

Mercedes Magic 8-ball strikes again.

 

[Ax^]

crash at the restart maybe a red fag

 

[ricbake]

Is it over...
How long to sort this...
4 laps remaining - may not restart
Mercedes would have lost track position had they pitted

 

[Lord Camomile]

So this "letting lap leaders through" thing, that basically means everyone between Verstappen and Hamilton have to let Verstappen through?

 

[Ted Striker]

The comms are fascinating. I am turning into a nerd

 

[Ax^]

this is crazy from Merc

 

[Buddy Bradley]

We're going to get about half a lap of racing at this rate.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is it over...

They do seem to prioritise track position over almost everything else, at least in the recent races I can remember.

Cutting it fiiiiiiiiiiiiine

 

[Lord Camomile]

We're going to get about half a lap of racing at this rate.

More than at Spa

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Big fruit basket for Latifi from Red Bull if Max manages to get past at the restart.

 

[Ax^]

hmm so no lapped cars allow through

even the fact that it would of mean ending behind the safety car

every max fan "We was Robbbed "

 

[dessiato]

There's no point in watching now.

 

[Lord Camomile]

hmm so no lapped cars

every max fan "We was Robbbed "

If Croft and Bundle are right that the alternative would result in no racing laps, hopefully someone will put that point/question to Red Bull after the race.
