I noticed Lewis in an interview after the race that he mentioned that he kept of the curbs as much as possible. They may have gearbox problems which hopefully will give them problems later on. What has happened to Ferrari. Lando Norris had a great drive yesterday so it’s good to see McLaren up there again. It’s still a big shame that Williams are again very poor even with the Mercedes engine. But your right I can’t see anybody beating Mercedes this. Just hoping it’s Bottas and not Lewis that takes the title.

Bottas looked petrified at the end of the race. He knows it’s over too.

Lando was brilliant. And it’s quite crazy that Racing Point is looking like a top 5 team. True about Williams, I’m warming up to Russell.

WTF has happened to Ferrari. Vettel out in Q3 & Leclerc out in Q2.
Also a sad day for the Williams family.

    Dubman the FIA put a stop to Ferrari cheating with their power unit at the end of last season.

    The Williams situation is sad, Frank has to take the blame though. He should never have had his daughter running things, she was never up to the challenge.

        I thought she done pretty well at the start. Have you seen the Williams documentary. It’s well worth a watch if you heven’t seen it.

        • Matt replied to this.

            Dubman yeah I’ve seen it, thought it was good.

            They did do alright when she first took over. They came 3rd in the championship one year with massa and bottas if I remember correctly. It was all downhill from there though.

            I was surprised to see them let paddy Lowe go, considering all of the knowledge he must have brought with him from Mercedes.

            Hopefully they will keep the Williams name and the new owners will put up the cash needed to turn things around

              I used to love F1. Boring shite now, but I reckon I can trace it all back to Yant’s shit trabs.

              Must say, I am finding this season quite fascinating. The kind of shake ups that have happened are marking an end of an era. A whole new generation of drivers are taking over, so you’re still trying to suss them out - from their driving skills, to how they’re carrying themselves. The access to all the content is on another level, they’re putting out everything on YouTube for free on the f1 page… no need for a pricey subscription to some TV channel. Max is without a doubt the fastest on the grid and he’s only 20 or something and he’s straight gangster.


              It might be boring with lewis and Merc dominating, but 2022 will change everything. And watching what’s happening at the midlevel is good fun.

                The mid level racing has been excellent this season. So good seeing Mclaren back into the fray.
                Can you watch the whole race live on YouTube?

                    Dubman Nah not the race unfortunately, though I think they put f2 on there. Everything before and after is there, plus lots of great analysis, highlights, interviews, lots of stuff from the past in great docu-style packages. Find myself on there pretty much everyday.

                      Love Verstappen, haha.

                      I couldn’t get over how young these guys are after watching the doc on Netflix. Young and very cocky. Super talented little pricks basically. Ocon came across badly on it. They all hate each other and it makes for great racing.

                        Sainz is the man, what a driver! If Ferrari sort their shit out next season they will be a force.

                        One more lap and he’d of picked off Gasly yesterday. Can’t remember watching such an exciting finish for a long time

                          Hursty Can’t remember watching such an exciting finish for a long time

                          Silverstone a few weeks back - with tyres exploding all over the gaff?

                            It will be interesting to see how the young brits get on over the next few years, Norris and Russell both have massive potential.

                            There’s not much to choose between Norris and Sainz, considering Sainz is the only team mate who has ever really competed with Verstappen, the future for Norris seems bright.

                            I reckon Russell in particular will be one to watch though, very highly thought of by Mercedes. I watched most if his races in F2 the year he won that series and there’s no doubt he’s the real deal. He’s put that Williams in places it didn’t belong a few times now and there aren’t many drivers on the grid who are capable of out performing their cars.

                            LT42 I couldn’t get over how young these guys are after watching the doc on Netflix.

                            Which doc is this Liqui?

                                Smallman1 Not sure the title of it. Type Formula 1 into the search and you’ll find it, 2 seasons. It’s top quality. The episode about the race in Singapore is unreal. 40 degrees inside the car and trying to navigate that tight track at those speeds, I’ve so much respect for them. The concentration levels are off the charts.

                                  That’s the one. Great viewing. Even if you don’t like the sport.
