Hulk is keeping it interesting, big time!

Nico is about the only thing interesting about F1 right now and he’s only temporary. When you can get a flat front tire starting the last lap and still win on a track where you’re full throttle 80% of a lap it shows how incredibly uncompetitive F1 has become.

I thought front wings were spec now.

Haas needs to fire both of their current drivers. If Hulk is available hire him. And then Perez.

^^^^^^^ this, plus lose the Ferrari engine.

Yep. This season is boring doing boring. Hamilton will win this year’s title and next years, and will probably walk away on top with 8 titles and every meaningful record.

That last lap proves how good a driver Hamilton is. Driving that car on 3 wheels only about 10 seconds per three quarters of a lap slower than Verstappen on 4 new tyres. I very much doubt that anyone on this forum could drive that car with 4 good tyres at that speed.

A not-entirely-boring race today. Congrats to the winners.

Albon drove like a man on a mission good for him . RP had a good finish for both cars I am glad for Hulkenberg . Vettel and his car/team are totally lost .

LeClerc is not lost by any means. But Vettel is not driving well nor playing nice in public with Ferrari.

Why did RP bring in Hulk with only 7 laps remaining? Was there a pro lem with his tires? How many laps did he have on the existing set?

Great drive by P1. Phenomenal.

Another solid drive by LeClerc.

Edit: F1 website says Hulk pitted on laps 15, 30, and 44. But doesn't tell which tires were mounted when. But I think he started on the medium compound, and I'm guessing he switched to hards. And I know he finished on softs. Too bad he couldn't make that 2nd set work for 7 more laps, as that 3rd stop dropped him from P5 to P7.

And Hamilton whines about his tires.

Sad to say I just fast forwarded and don't care anymore. We see the best funded drivers, not the best drivers and the rules choke any innovative advantage. I think I watch much like I watch Nascar, because I always have since year one for me. But I do not love the cars anymore and the drivers do not appear larger than life anymore . I have not watched the last four or five Nascar races either. Have to turn down the volume on F! for the screeching whiny Engilshmen announcing it. Road racing I one of the few series that keeps me interested. The arguments and whining about racing point has bored me to tears, back in the day everyone copied anything and so what?

I felt bad for Bottas, it’s like his team hung him out to dry in favour of Hamilton

Hulkenberg stated after the race that both rear tires blistered and he had a bad vibration . He and the team didn't think that set of tires would make it to the end of the race .

Williams and McLaren withdraw their appeal of Racing point punishment... Ferrari and Renault persist. How odd ? ;-) Williams uses a Mercedes engine and Wolff still has shares of the team I think, McLaren gets Mercedes powerplants next year... Coincidence ? I betcha Mercedes is pulling string of their puppets there, as they are afraid a rethink of the penalty might apply to those who supplied the drawings of the brake ducts (them).

From what the announcers on Sky Sports said in 2019 the brake ducts were not a listed part in 2019 and legal for Mercedes to sell or supply the CAD drawings. Only in 2020 did the rear ducts become a listed part. Evidently is is just the rear ducts that is at issue, and Tracing Point was using the same front ducts as last year.

Was the Torro Rosso team essentially not running the previous year RBR car for years?

Hulkenberg has admitted he is in talks with at least two teams for a ride for next year . If Kimi retires I can see an opening with Alfa . I think Grosean's contract expires the end of this season so is Haas the other team in play ?

Dang, I hope HAAS will hire a good driver. Their car is crap, and they need a driver to tell them how and what to fix.
