No F1 thread?

Will be interesting with the changes next year how much it mixes things up.

The design of the cars is different, but the powertrains will be the same, right?

[mr_jon]

Yes same drivetrain but chassis and rules completely different. Hoping smaller, current cars are massive.

[Mito Man]

I reckon they'll be an order of magnitude bigger. 40kg more weight, way stricter crash test requirements following Grosjean's big crash last year, the wings will be making less downforce so even more critical to extend the wheelbase to make use of the ground effects. Monaco will be even more of a procession.

[integrale_evo]

Yeah, pretty sure they’re going to be bigger

10 times bigger?

Or you are tricking us by thinking in base 2,…. So just 2x as big?

We’re gonna need a bigger track…..

No mazepin for the race, tested positive for covid. There won’t be a replacement driver either because they have to do at least one practice session to be allowed to race

[DeskJockey]

No great loss, is it?

He gives the marshals a run out!

Probably a false result to keep him out of the way of the title fight. He was nearly a second slower than everyone else wasn’t he?

[dinny_g]

Max will tear away at the start. Mercedes will win it in the pit strategy.

They won’t actually race at all and Hamilton will win

[Broccers]

Quite the hate Hamilton attracts. Booing yesterday.

Probably all racists

Lets hope it's a fair race today not decided by officials interference.

It's the Dutch fans. Wife said it reminded her of Rossi's reception at the Spanish GPs a few years ago when he was battling with Pedrosa and Lorenzo

[integrale_evo]

I hope they can have a fair fight but reckon max will either run off into the distance or Lewis will get punted off. Just can’t see clean wheel to wheel battling between the two tbh.

[Mito Man]

Hopefully the warning over points being removed will make him think twice.
Plenty of run off here so if he just pushes Hamilton wide off the track that’s more 5 second penalties.

[Pete_]

Even as a Hamilton fan I think that should have been a give the place back to Verstappen

[Marv]

Controversial!

[jamcg]

Is it just me or have they stopped talking about leaving a cars width anymore? I know that can be interpreted a few ways but if that this had gravel traps or walls lewis would have been out

Good point, haven't heard that for a while

[JonMad]

Perez about to take one for the team?
