Yes, something wrong there. If the media keeps pounding on the possible scenario of a deliberate crash he may just do it! Good old media, create the news.

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament
Interesting to say the least and indeed too close to call. "Track Limits" seem to be a major issue with numerous laps deleted for several drivers.
Also, you need to look at the time of day, track heat and tyre temp....... This championship certainly couldn't be any closer!!

Sweet. I'm not a fan but gotta say this last race has definitely piqued my interest. Hope there's a real battle between the two on the day.

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament
Very clever play from Red BS with Crashappen getting a major tow from his teammate Perez in Q3 - very surprised Mercedes didn't try the same. Poor Q3 from Bottas, but superb from Norris to qualify in 3rd place
I still believe LH has the speed for the win - all to play for!!

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament
Totally agree PH about Mercedes not using the same teammate tactics. I'm personally very happy about Verstappen being on pole, but he's going to have a hungry man right up his exhaust pipe. The post qualifying interview with Norris was interesting in that he more or less said that he wouldn't be gunning for second place at the start of the race. Probably a wise decision - let the two rascals fight it out between them. Who knows? Maybe Norris will win the race.

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament
I hope he does well, but he's certainly not going to compete with LH or MV and over race distance he's going to struggle with the Ferraris IMHO.Vital Spark wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 5:21 amThe post qualifying interview with Norris was interesting in that he more or less said that he wouldn't be gunning for second place at the start of the race.

It's going to be interesting with the differing starting tyres for LH (Medium) and MV (Soft) - the latter a forced issue after Q2. The Softs should give Crashappen the better start, but less distance/durability - I guess the question is will the speed advantage outweigh the durability advantage (remembering Crashappen will not have a tow at the front.....),
One or two stop strategy? Starting with the Softs could mean the latter is a necessity.

Race and Championship not won on the track but won in the stewards room. Wouldn't want to be Michael Massi right now.

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament
I'm not too happy with the result but at least it was not boring. So many other races have been but what a finale, last round of the last race of the season to decide the champion. Perez did a brilliant job to hold Hamilton back and then the safety car had it's fair share in the result but congrats to the champion.

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament
This has finally convinced me formula 1 is crap. I was not bothered who won, but to ignore the rules and let cars pass the safety car, I wonder if cash changed hands. Stuff formula 1 it is no longer a sport.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

I don't understand the rules of the sport but someone put the final drama into football speak.
"Hamilton's team were 10 nil up in the 89th minute when the ref decided 'next goal wins' during a Verstappen counter attack".
