F1 Official Thread - Grand Prix of Britain

Bit harsh but safety is safety.

Mercedes trying to leave the pit box faster and testing leaving in 2nd gear instead of first.

Pressure is getting to them.

Yeah, that wasn't Valtteri's fault, I think. They wanted him to try a different launch... and obvs it didn't work.
But at the end of the day, it was dangerous. Could have taken out a bunch of mechs like bowling pins.

 

[D Double]

I think it was his fault. The drivers start in 2nd gear on wet tracks to stop wheelspin so he should have had better control IMO.

first time that I'm happy to see Bottes qualify in front of Lewis

Yas, LANDO!

But Daniel tho...
No idea how he lost so much time.

 

[kanyeezy411]

Very disappointing performance from Ricciardo. Seems like one step forward and two backwards. Zak didn't look too happy at the end of Q2.

Hopefully he will have a good race tomorrow and score some points

 

[D Double]

Red Bull too stronk.

The results on Saturdays are going to look like this for a while I think.

Lando and Perez on softs should spice things up.

Going to switch over the W series. Hopefully it's more exciting than last year.

Is Lewis the only one starting on Meds?

Lando looked like he could have too, but finished his Soft lap at the end... thought he had enough margin.

George faster than a Ferrari, McLaren and Aston... and probably starting in P10... and with a free tyre choice.

Max, Lewis and Bottas on Mediums

 

[Sinner]

Cuz after Q2, Max and Valtteri both had Softs on the timing screen... but I didn't know if they did a faster lap.

 

[kanyeezy411]

as expected 3 place grid penalty for Tsunoda

get in there George!

 

[kanyeezy411]

What a snooze fest… can’t wait for next week.
I want Le Castellet back

 

[kanyeezy411]

poor George

GG's for the championship.

Total complete domination and damn we have to watch that again next week

Merc Reminding me of BMW in 2008 when they stopped developing the car early to focus on 2009 only for that to blow up in their face.

Car is weaker in every aspect now, top speed, high and slow speed corners and tire deg.

Rest of the season going to be like 2013 at this rate.

 

[Sinner]

Strong race for Lando...

But that one lap screwed over Daniel and that was it.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Solid result from Ferrari all things considered. Gained points on McLaren

 

[Sinner]

Good recovery by Charles. Both Ferraris looked strong.

 

[chippedtoothsmile]

Pretty boring race. Great recovery from LeClerc. The midfield definitely been a roller coaster this year.

 

[DeadsetAce]

fully expected bottas to give up 3rd at the end after he took his sweet *** time to lap danny ric

merc clearly didn't do the work red bull did this offseason

While I don't believe Merc will 100% stop dev, it's def tricky to balance between sacrificing their 2022 car.

 

[DeadsetAce]

congrats to Max and RB for 2021 i guess

Norris has been entertaining to watch this year

 

[D Double]

Yea it's over.
I'll just be happy for Lewis to get to 100 wins this year, somehow.

For those who have the subscription, Jolyon's analysis shows are really worth watching. He does a really good job and it's quite interesting. Full ver. on F1TV.
