Formula 1 - 2020 Season

Poor Seb.

 

Well that was exciting last couple laps behind the top

 

No fastest lap for Lewis, what a loser.

Last laps were exciting.

 

Een had a bad start and Leclerc lost his cool totally ... ruining everything for Ferrari. Max got damage on his wing and was called in too early to change his tires - he should have been called in a couple of laps later. Glad to see that at least the engines were back to being reliable now!

Mercedes were pretty flawless. Exciting though to see that the rest of the teams are very strong; with Perez doing a great job until the end, where I think he had himself to blame for not overtaking Albon, which he could and should have managed. Still very promising for the pink Mercedes and the McLaren team is also doing well.

And I finally bought F1 2020 so I can learn all these tracks that I don’t know beforehand, which adds to the fun. I hardy know any of these ... got a 1.07.416 in Time Trial, which isn’t great but I’m getting there.

 

Was it Sainz? I think he got it 1 lap before finish line, not sure if someone improved on last

 

Wow....


"Seb hasn't got any faults today" TODAY? What a loser.

Stroll vs. RIC under investigation.

 

Yes, fastest lap for him and fastest lap ever.

 

I think you’re reading too much into it (and I’m a guy who thinks Charles takes a lot of blame for Brazil). Totally his fault and he admits it, which is good, because he ruined Ferrari’s race and royally messed up their development in a year where they could finish fifth in the constructors. A real shame and a total mistake. Nothing to do but move on.

I can’t believe Albon was almost taken out the same way in the same corner. I’d like to know why he was so far off Verstappen’s pace.

 

disappointing race compared to the first one, but very exciting at the end

bottas still leads but he needs to up his game if hamilton is not just going to romp away

 

One of the parts in question

Still crazy that this supposed pink supercar finished less than a second ahead of a Renault that was considered disappointing last year.

If Racing Point is arguing they copied/mimicked the Merc from pics, couldn’t they have copied the brake aero the same way? We see the wheels off the cars all the time, as those pics suggest.

From that Motorsport article:

I assume “sourced” means bought, not copied, though the word may be as open to interpretation as anything is in F1.

 

Supposedly they're so complex you can't copy it just from photos, and Renault thinks there's more than just similar outer casing

 

So slight surprise in the 'the rest' area of the field: Kvyat pulled off 10th.
Technically +3 from the 3 retirees but also Gasly dropped back quickly from his 7th on grid to I think it was 11th infront of Kvyat in 12th, took an early pit for Hards that didn't work out -> 2nd stop & finished 15th.

Clearly a big performance gap back from McLaren to 'the rest', Kvyat was constantly loosing ground to Sainz but kept ahead of the Alfas & Haas whose scrapping with each other helped keep the pressure off. (or are 'the rest' Mclaren/Renault/Ferrari/RacingPoint -> these lot count as backmarkers?)

 

Interesting....

Gasly's car (the floor) was damaged at the start of the race after a contact with Ricciardo.

 

Who was in tenth ?

 

Ah that explains it then, seemed odd how quickly he fell back.

 

P2 just started bitches!!

 

plz rain or someone unlock something on their car so we can have a race
