2021 Formula 1 Season

Pretty good strategy by Mercedes.

Bottas just plays dumb(after getting torched off the line) like he doesn't know it's raining and then takes out literally every fast car except for Ham.

After that it was still super fun, but watching it live you could see immediately he was just gonna drive right up the back of the McLaren.

Great Interview with Kimi.

Still my favorite interview, also the driver I'd most like to drink with, although I'm pretty sure he'd put me under the table pretty quickly.

Howwwww is no one talking about Spa quali????

I'll leave just this meme here, wait for people to trickle in. Don't wanna spoil anything.

Same here but..... not too much rain they cancel it!

 

[JC_451]

Not looking good here bros.

There was no race. More like a boat regatta.

Basically all the weird events that have helped Hamilton have been canceled out by other weird events that helped Verstappen.

Only highlights today were George Russel interviews and him being genuinely excited to get to the podium no matter the circumstances.

More highlights!!

• Lewis Hamilton finding someone's huge shit in the toilet.
• Marshalls playing petanque.
• Yuki complaining about being too full after espresso and eating eating soup.
• Mick and Vettel playing football.
• Alpine crew dancing.
• Sad dude eating fries in the rain.

Only downside is technically, Mazepin now has a Fastest Lap point.

Well, he doesn't have the POINT as he was not in the top ten but he does have the event logged on his record as having secured a Fastest Lap. lol

I was watching with a couple people. After about 20 min of delay we just started skipping forward incrementally, trying to find where the start would be.

Spoiler: 2021 Lineup News

Kimi Raikkonen to retire from Formula 1 at the end of 2021 | Formula 1

End of an era.

Bottas to Alfa + Russel to Mercedes looking believable.

Sorry to see him go, he's the best interview ever. Is Bottas official?

Nothing announced officially yet from any team, but the general consensus seems to be that. I would have thought Callum Illot to Alfa but he is more likely going to indycar. It would make sense since Wolff wanted to set him up with another team if he wanted it.

He took delivery of a special edition GT-R black series, either today or yesterday. Either contract present or severance
