Looks like it could be a wet race weekend so maybe we'll finally get a decent race at Sochi!

Re: 2021 Formula 1 VTB Russian Grand Prix
And Max at the back. Whoohoo.
Now that VB is off, do you think he will listen to team orders? He is good at this track, and a win is a win.

Let's hope McLaren are strong again. Would love to see Lando on the top step!

Ricciardo is way down the list again. Bit disappointing.

Brilliant front 3 actually. Russell did it again but so pleased for Lando. He can win tomorrow if he stays in front at the first corner.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 VTB Russian Grand Prix
Normally he's immaculate but there's been a lot of mistakes this year. Even Mazepin didn't hit the wall or spin on a quick lap. It's so rare to even see him spin.

First time since Monza 2012 that a Red Bull or Mercedes didn't qualify in the top 3.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 VTB Russian Grand Prix
He will still be in front of Max though. If he can hold him up for long enough that could ruin Red Bulls chances.
Bottas had a new engine at Monza so you wonder if that's a tactical move.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 VTB Russian Grand Prix
Yeah. You gotta think you're only 5-6 mins away from the chequered flag, can you hang on long enough to avoid a pit stop. Tough call to make. His time will come though.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 VTB Russian Grand Prix
Horrible to watch him throw a race away like that but he kinda brought it on himself. Like Mercedes they tried to bring him in but he told them to shut up and then said they had to commit to it. Lewis at least accepted the teams final call and it worked out for him. Experience counts in situations like that.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 VTB Russian Grand Prix
Teams used to put spotters out from the circuit so they'd know for sure what was about to hit the track. Wonder if Merc had someone out there while other teams just went off the radar.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 VTB Russian Grand Prix
The weather was coming in from the sea. Not as easy to park someone out there. I think it would be a mistake to think that if you gave several groups of people the same information that they would all come to the same conclusion. It may well be that it was just a lucky gamble, not better intel. In hindsight a stroke of luck looks like brilliance.
I will say that I found that the most riveting race I've seen in a long time. There was a lot going on way before the weather came in to play.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 VTB Russian Grand Prix
Mental end to what was already an enthralling race. Poor Lando...
This championship just has that feeling of going down to the wire. I think there'll be many more mistakes made by both Merc & RBR before it's decided.
Either way it could be an epic ending to the current car / regs.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 VTB Russian Grand Prix
Our boy got into F1 last year which was bloody good timing - it is possibly the most thrilling season I've ever seen. It almost makes me wish they weren't changing the rules next year because it might bring in a new period of dominance for one team.
That's Leclerc, Russell and now Norris who have all had victories taken from them in the most dramatic circumstances in recent years. It's been so Hollywood since Liberty took over...
