F1 2021

Yeah, it will be interesting how much better the merc will be, I think Hamilton will still win, enough of his personality, he still is a good driver, you have to be to be a 7 x championship winner. I’m going to go Lewis and max P1 P2

Yeah if I was a betting man my money would be with Hamilton everyday of the week.

Rewatched the 2017 Macau F3 race the other day (featuring Lando Norris, Ticktum etc), probably the best ending to any race in recent history

Can you two shut up @PaddyJames and @Philw If this is a F1 thread keep your pointless argument somewhere away from here. It’s like two children arguing about who had more ice cream!

Well I started the thread, and he came in slating LH, I'm entitled to post a defense.

Mercedes have effectively got started in August, so I expect they'll start the season way ahead again. Largely depends how much RB have really closed the gap, and how much of that they can carry over to next season.

Hadn't seen that.

Didn't expect the ending haha

Haha, have seen the last corner incident before, but not all the build-up. Crazy finish on a mental race track. Can barely believe they let open wheel cars race there, it's like Monaco on steroids.

Grosjean moves to Indycar. Will race on the road/street tracks and may attempt an oval race at Gateway. Grosjean in an Indycar on an oval is a scary combo... Gateway isn't that high speed for an oval though.

Romain Grosjean signs up for IndyCar road and street races

Ex-Formula 1 star Romain Grosjean will switch to IndyCar this season, driving a Honda-powered Dale Coyne Racing with Rick Ware Racing entry.

Cant wait to see the Aston Martin car. When does it get revealed?

I would love the team to do well - proper english team like!

He's said he doesn't want to race them, especially the big ones, but might test the short one.

Only three teams have announced their launch so far:

15th Feb - McLaren
22nd Feb - Alfa Romeo
2nd Mar - Mercedes

Alpine have said they will launch in February and AM in March but no specific day as yet

 

[PhilM]

Paddy James managing to stink out the thread within the first page is kinda impressive

There's a fair few Billy Big Bollocks who've turned up in the last few months.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but by English you mean a Canadian owned outfit with a German engine that also features a German and a Canadian for their driver lineup?
