F1 2021

This is usually the worst race of the year along with Abu Dhabi. Very poor track for modern f1 cars to race on... although plenty of fun to do laps on.

Cracker of a lap from Verstappen there. (even with a bit of a wobble around the last corner)

Wow, Norris lays down a proper lap. Q1 only, though

 

[evilwebby]

Well, I said that this is a big year for Norris, and he needs to be showing Ricciardo a clean pair of heels... and he is doing just that. His stock has risen.

Tsunoda is a bit of a cryarse, always having tantrums

Some lap from Max then

 

[evilwebby]

Wow. What a lap from Verstappen.

Don't like him already.

all the hype about "best rookie for years" on the showing of a single weekend in Bahrain was ludicrous. Got a lot to learn.

People talk smack about Bottas on here but he's a level above Perez in terms of pure pace. Can you see Perez out qualifying Verstappen 18 times ?

Perez loves a spin this season

 

[evilwebby]

Damn, this is so close. Nothing in it.

The thing is Perez is a better racer driver than he is a qualifier, while Bottas is a better qualifier than he is a race driver. That's why Bottas so often looks mediocre by the end of the weekend.

There's number 100 for Lewis. Amazing achievement.

Good news for the race that Max is on the front row too.

Hamilton & Verstappen are both incredible talents. Both of them 10/10ths in that session. We are very lucky their careers overlap and we are getting the chance to watch them race each other for a good number of years.
