Interesting to se different drivers reactions to penalties

HAM: My tyres wont last, they are all out to get me, they want to stop me, blah blah

RIC: Sorry guys, my bad, I'll just drive faster.

It was the teams fault HAM got the 2 penalties by not reading the race directors notes before the weekend, his attitude after sucked

I noted his attitude in respect of the murder of a white copper in his country of birth. Clearly white lives don't matter to him. Lost all respect and support for him. More to life than racing cars :geek::rolleyes::D

I'm a firm believer that if you look at what is most likely to have happened, that's probably what happened. Going with that, the race officials were looking for a way to reign in Hamilton's undoubted pace advantage and found one. I sympathise with him, but he showed his class by finishing 3rd.

It's Renault or Ferrari engine for the RB and AT after 2021.
Mercedes won't supply them, they tried before and Mercedes refused.

I think they know a Red Bull with a Merc engine would have the beating of their own car.
As it is, I think McLaren will give them a good run next season.

Can’t see it working too well with Renault...:eek:

Or they purchase the rights to the Honda engine and rebrand

Or VW buy it and call it a Porsche

Or Stroll buys it and calls it an AM

Or Mugen Rebrand it

Currently Hybrid technology in the engines, surprised Toyota not involved as they are ahead on hybrid production cars so would boost the Lexus brand in the same way Mercedes use it to boost AMG branding...

They use LMP1, they quit F1 in '08 as did many when the big crash happened, their Koln based Wind Tunnel is still one of the best around

Watching on Ch.4 after the race, and Steve Jones was talking to Toto and said he has just had a text from Christian Horner to ask Toto if he could have an engine? Toto replied in his totally deadpan manner and said "NO" o_O
DC was sniggering behind his mask at that one....it was actually really funny! :D:D

Bottas finally grew a pair with that really gutsy move on Hamilton at the first corner, but then blew it under pressure later on. You have to feel for him with his bad luck due to reliability though.:(

I was a bit surprised that Channel 4 didn’t show in car footage of Bottas’s pole setting lap during the qualifying highlights - or did I miss something, I consider seeing that a must for any decent coverage

Well this is an exciting season indeed but I think we are almost certainly looking at Lewis retaining his WDC...

Free but pm for details...

ESPN (USA), like Fox Sports Australia and Canadian channel TSN will stream F1 and MotoGP, but buffering is a real problem, even with a VPN.
An expensive Sky subscription is sadly the only way of getting uninterrupted and legal coverage.
They do have an offer of all Sports channels for £18 a month for 18 months for current Sky subscribers.
