Perez is leaving RP!!!!!

And as a direct result of this(or more accurately the reason why it is happening) Vettel will be joining Aston Martin for 2021.
I feel sorry for Perez because there doesn't seem to be a full time drive available to him in 2021.
He had 2 years of his contract left to run which should have seen him with his current team until the end of 2022.

Wonder if his backing money ran out...Esteban Ocon was the better driver at Force India but didn't have the same amount of £££ behind him

2 HAAS seats are free next year, IIRC they both got 1 year extensions for this season

Carlos Slim doesn't run out of money

About the only way Vettel will get a drive in a Mercedes.....

I wish Bottas would stop being such a willy. He had such a good opportunity last weekend but just couldn't blap it up through the midfield. I hope it was genuinely something wrong with the car because he has speed and would like to see him challenge Hamilton more.

I wonder if Vettel is trying to get into a Mercedes via Racing Point, now that he is part of the Mercedes extended family and Stroll and Toto are getting cosy.

On Hamilton I get a bit frustrated sometimes with his social media antics but though I don't always agree with his extra-curricular activities he is very much his own person and one of the more characterful people on the grid, which is nice to see. In post-face interviews I do think he comes out with the more thoughtful and interesting comments. Needless to say as a racing driver he is amazing to watch when he's hammering it.

DAMN.....Ive just found out who is on pole from a facebook post before it's been broadcast on Ch.4.
I didn't follow my own rules for avoiding these things on race weekends.
I'm not going to say whether I am happy with the result or not because this will be a potential spoiler for others.

I always check the qualifying on You Tube before the race..

Is it just me thinks this will be a bit processional due to the lack of slow corners? I hope it doesn't turn out that way but I'm not convinced there are many passing places on that track.

This is what I was wondering about....there is no hard braking required at any corners which is where the late brakers always have an opportunity to get past.
I hope we are wrong...but if not it will probably the one and only time F1 visits this track.

Carnage!!!

 

[Ron240]

I've just started watching the highlights on Ch.4, only on lap 9 and what a cluster****!

 

[neeklaus]

Were it not for the events in the last 15 or so laps another silverstone-esque tyre blow out was a possibility, along with a win for the young mr albon!

Bottas being a willy again and fluffing his chances.

I take it you are not a fan of Hamilton then?

Well that was certainly very eventful!

Who would have thought a race result of Mercedes, Mercedes, Red Bull would be so interesting? A brilliant, different race.

Well done to Albon, finally getting a podium. Yes there were circumstances, however you still need to be able to hold it together and finish the race, just as Gasly did last week.

Bottas must feel he just can't beat Hamilton
