Remember the good old days when something like this was classed as a “racing incident”? I don't think it was much more than that, if I'm honest. Yes, he hit him, and yes, Albon was ahead, but I'm not sure where Hamilton was supposed to go. In modern racing it's a penalty though, and based on similar incidents the 5 seconds feels right. Slightly surprised Mercedes didn't let him past Bottas to get a gap to Leclerc and Norris at the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why merc didn’t pit both cars under safety car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's unlikely to be at the front next year, but I guess he's hoping the change in regs in 2022 will make the Renault more competitive. I think he's the most complete driver I have ever seen, and it's a crying shame that poor career choices and bad luck have led to him having only 31 wins and two titles. His 2012 season was, I think, the greatest season any driver has ever had. That car was fifth best in the field and he nearly won a title in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he was, even up to the year before he retired first time, the best driver on the grid and it was his choice of teams and their cars that prevented him from more world titles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso doesn't quite have that searing one lap pace, but nobody is better over a race distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Pub League Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Confirmed that the 1000 GP for Ferrari will be the Tuscany GP at Mugello on September 13th - where Mercedes will prance off into the distance whilst the strangely underpowered compared to last year Ferraris get on with trying to finish ahead of racing Point. Sochi also added to the Calendar for September 27th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Interested to see how Mugello works for F1.Gutted to see Sochi added, a truly terrible track which rivals Hungary for the most boring race. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Mugello is a great track, not the biggest but f1 cars should be good round it. I’d still love imola to come back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Mugello is a very fast flowing track, always watch the Moto GP weekend when they race there as it normally provides some good races (especially the mad Moto 3 race where slipstream is king) Qualifying should be good, anyone who decides to risk it and attack flat out may reap a big reward.....or bin it spectacularly. However I don't think it will race that well, the flowing nature of the track may prevent cars getting too close to each other through the turns and with no big breaking areas (apart from T1 and maybe T12) overtaking may be difficult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Should also see a few people bin it in turn one, a sweeping uphill quite tight right hander, could catch a few out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
