My boy Russell looked solid in Q1, but couldn't get it done in Q2.

None of the cars really looked all that great today outside of the normal top 3. I'm backing Norris tomorrow in the battle for the midfield.

I was just looking at the stats in the turbo era. This is Mercedes pole positions since 2014.

3/3

Schumacher wasn't that dominant during his time at Ferrari. This run is unprecedented and next year will be more of the same. Same cars and each team is only allowed two upgrades between now and the end of 2021.

Hopefully Bottas can squeak out a championship vs Hamilton though. No reason for the team to play favorites when no other team will come close


I like BOT. I don’t understand why his seat has been in question over the last year or so. He has won poles, races, and gets podiums. I understand he is not the next great driver or hyped like some young drivers but it seems he accepts being the #2 driver. It benefits HAM because it allows him to whore the attention and lets everybody at Mercedes to kiss his arse. I don’t think HAM wants a young driver that has the potential to be great stealing that away from him.

I agree that Merc needs to let these two battle it out this year. There is no threat from any other team.

Merc always had a tech development advantage going into this era.

LOL. Racing Point was fast in practice and underperformed at qualification. How about McLaren and Renault, they had a great qualification.

That ain't going to help. 2022 is the first realistic chance someone will have. The cars are going to be the same next year.

I agree, Hope Bottas gets a great start and takes another one from Hamilton.

Really want to see Albon bounce back and Norris continue his improvement.

Hey, how about that national anthem?

The bleak, fan-less sporting events need to go.

Red Bull should boot Albion and bring in Hulk... he showed what he can do with a decent car, middle of the pack after 8 months off.
