The only one holding a brolly...inside hahaha

We have a petrol delivery crisis here my friend, long queues at fuel stations with many shut because waiting for delivery. Problem is HGV drivers carrying hazardous loads like fuel have to take an extra test and ppl are panic buying...my tank is half full at the mo!

Just finished watching the qually, excellent result

It should be a great race tomorrow, Max should be super quick & it'll be entertaining watching him making his way through the other cars, which will be telling..interested to see how far he gets.

Poor qually for Lewis, putting it in the pit wall & then losing it on his flying lap & starting 4th...oh dear

What a result for Lando, his first pole

& good to see McLaren winning a race & getting a pole, hopefully more to come

Excellent result for Ferrari, pleased to see Carlos second on the grid.. & very happy to see Williams back at the sharp end, great result for George, first to go on to slicks...brave boy & it paid off

As for the fight between Max & Lewis..meh

Perez: abysmal at qualifying, enough with the excuses each week..just perform.

Bottas: a rocket until the rain came. Last lap ruined by Hammy. His tires were cooling out of the blankets while merc sorted hammy.

Russell: creative thinking on his part to pit early for slicks(even if he said it was a mistake), he made the best of the opportunity. Is Russell ahead of hammy in qualifying a bit of foreshadowing.

Lando: great drive, put a cork in Danny R’s positivity pretty quickly.

Sainz needed p1 for team respect, came up short but at least he didn’t shunt.

Gasly throwing a tantrum isn’t a good look for him or how other teams may view him.

Hammy, mental errors a plenty. He pulled a Grosjean coming into the pits, he strolled the front Jack guy and Vetteled his last lap. His gala hangover, even with the best nurse/phyisio at his beck and call, may have affected his performance. His labored breathing over the radio seemed intense. Kimi doesn’t sound that bad even after coming off COVID. Hopefully he isn’t ignoring a health issue due to the championship.

Those damn nerves of steel again

Latest weather forecast is 20% chance of rain for the race but it can change quickly in that neck of the woods. See you tomorrow.

Does not change the fact that Ham is no slouch in the rain.

So Bot gets a new PU and starts from the back in an attempt to block Max. The usual snidey action from Merc showing their 'sporting prowess'.
Would be karma for an engine fail for Ham with this underhand pawn moving.

Blindside_137 · 09-26-2021, 06:32 AM

The "gamesmanship" from Merc is pathetic and disgusting.

Very happy BOT is leaving and that RUS outperforms HAM next year

• Can you F* believe it ?

There's nothing wrong with BOT's Mercedes PU !
MAX has to be very carefull , knowing what BOT did at the Hungaroring !!!
This shows the true nature of Mercedes !!!

Once again MAX stands alone in te race , because once again Checo messed it up !

This is how I see the Mercedes team !
