German commentators reckon overtaking will be impossible without severe mistakes
F1 2021 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
First time seeing action on thus track, not a fan,looks hard to pass.
Get pole stay out of trouble and you win.
Ferrari looking good
The team is as much to blame imo as there’s no reason to let him out that late in the session but yea, criminally bad either way.
Mazepin seems like a real twat
Overtaking will be impossible.
Such an awesome track though. Turn 3 is incredible.

Russell crash leading to red flag
Turn 3 I agree, but a track impossible to overtake on is not what we want.
Yeh it's a great track, just totally unsuitable for these cars.
So Monaco 2 then.
Yea I agree, the track looks really cool and obviously very different with those banked corners but that counts for very little if the race is boring.
We already have a race on the calendar that’s boring but on a cool track and that’s more than enough.
Ooh Rosberg hopefully he's commentators tomorrow I enjoyed his commentary last time
And another red flag
Another Willams in to the barrier
Big shunt, but he is OK
Q2 session ended.

That could have been nasty.
Possible engine and or gearbox damage.

Thought Russell’s Williams quali record was going to fall then, Latifi made sure it didn’t.
that was so so poor by latifi. amateur.
I absolutely hate this rule of red flags late in sessions ruining it for everybody else.

Nothing else they could do.
Had to Red Flag it.

OH FFS Red Bull moaning about Merc holding blankets over tyres.
Like fecking kids in a playground.

That is playground shit from Red Bull, they just are incredibly unlikeable.
Are Red Bull the Manchester City of F1? They seem so small time
obviously - but there still 1.30 on the clock enough to get another lap in before the flag drops. just frustrating.
Not enough time to get 14 cars out of the pits and round the track.
They used to love being the rebel of the paddock, now they are the tattletail.
Not enough time well I don't think so.
Seb was pretty lucky in Q1, only his quick response avoided a big crash
1.10 laps ? 20 seconds to spare, that’s ample if they get a move on.
So cars racing for qualification with 1.5s gaps?
Why can’t they implement something along the lines of a “virtual safety car” type situation whereby you have to stay within x seconds of a delta on your outlap? That would force teams to figure out gapping at the point of sending cars out, rather than a backlog right at the last corner?
What a lap from Max
1:08:9 by Verstappen, not sure anyone is beating that
Crazy lap by Max. Bottas faster than Lewis, not sure how that happened.
That's pole for Max then. Makes it look so easy.
In theory yes, but in reality not a chance, 15 cars in a 20 second gap, trying to get clean air.
No it isn't. They'd be qualifying in a concertina.
Top 3 should stay in the same order for the race.
Pit strategy will decide this race,.
