F1 2021 Season

Glad no penalty.
Still say this race will be won in Q3
Pole, good start and good pits, should be a winning position.

This is the sort of circuit, with a wall of champions waiting at every other corner, so an off lap or a lapse and its all over

 

[senorgregster]

What was that? Ridiculous.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Jesus this track is horrible in places, massive accident is a big possibility.

 

[United Hobbit]

Surely penalty for that wall of cars that just got in Verstappen's way then? One day all this dithering is causing a nasty accident

 

[Fluctuation0161]

They've ruined Hamilton's preparation for qualification for a non-incident. Disgraceful.

Trying to disrupt for a new champion?

 

[Fluctuation0161]

Jesus this track is horrible in places, massive accident is a big possibility.

Agree. It seems very dangerous.

Unsure why it got signed off like this?

 

[hellhunter]

I think the track is beautiful and great, just terrible to actually race on

 

[Fluctuation0161]

This circuit has big accident written all over it

I hope not. But if we get away with it this year it needs serious changes if they ever race there again.

Although I suppose the Saudi government do love to breach human rights so... maybe they paid a big fee to get the track approved for sportswashing purposes.

OUT IN Q1
16) Nicholas Latifi, Williams

17) Sebastian Vettel, Aston Martin

Max looks faster

 

[United Hobbit]

I would not want to drive that track at that speed

I'm quite enjoying it!

 

[hellhunter]

Max looks faster

Lewis had a ton of traffic on his lap

 

[Desert Eagle]

This circuit has big accident written all over it

Yeah looked iffy even in qualifying . Hopefully not though.

 

[The Firestarter]

That was flawless lap by Max. Quite enjoyed the bumper camera view.

 

[The Firestarter]

Jeez Carlos...

 

[hellhunter]

Impressive how Sainz saved the car

 

[senorgregster]

Shouldn't be racing here.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

WOW mix of blind luck and driver skill avoided a big shunt

 

[The Hilton]

Red Bulls are both looking ominously fast, they've seemed better suited to street circuits all year.

 

[christy87]

How many places will Bottas drop for the power unit change

 

[Hephaestus]

How many places will Bottas drop for the power unit change

They said it's a previously used power unit so won't get a penalty.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

300+kph round some of those corners, ball of steel.

 

[Leg-End]

How many places will Bottas drop for the power unit change

None, it’s out of his current pool of engines.

 

[christy87]

Sainz is a very lucky boy

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Who signed off this track, Iam actually scared watching this, even a small crash could be serious.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Bottas and Kimi touch

 

[The Firestarter]

Feck me, a continues series of near misses so far. Can't feel optimistic for tomorrow.

 

[The Firestarter]

Who signed off this track, Iam actually scared watching this, even a small crash could be serious.

Cash is king.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

OUT IN Q2
11) Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren

12) Kimi Raikkonen, Alfa Romeo

13) Fernando Alonso, Alpine

14) George Russell, Alpine

15) Carlos Sainz, Ferrari

 

[Hephaestus]

Yeah, feels like we're due a big incident here. So many near misses.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Cash is king.

Sadly true.

 

[Leg-End]

Yeah, made up my mind, straight up dangerous track this. I hate watered down tracks but this is crazy here, I genuinely fear a big one here.

 

[christy87]

Way to many blind corners and the track is very tight, at least Shanghai is a broader track in the high speed parts and slower in the tighter spots.

 

[christy87]

Even the mazipan and Lewis incident was lucky not to total both drivers because of the high speed blind corners.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Yeah, made up my mind, straight up dangerous track this. I hate watered down tracks but this is crazy here, I genuinely fear a big one here.

I agree, don't want an easy track, but this is too aggressive.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Even the mazipan and Lewis incident was lucky not to total both drivers because of the high speed blind corners.

Just think if he had hit head-on, it would have been a fatality Iam sure, Mazipan was moving fast

 

[pauldyson1uk]

OH FFS Horner protesting.

 

[Leg-End]

I think a penalty for a FP block is complete bollocks anyway, it’s practice!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

This is it Q3.

 

[christy87]

I think a penalty for a FP block is complete bollocks anyway, it’s practice!

Have you seen it though, mazipan only saw him for a split second and dodged a serious crash. But if it was the engineers who fecked up fair enough. Also this track is probably going to be more dangerous in practice and qualifying than the race with no slow cars.
