F1 2020 - British Grand Prix

Charlie-Bravo

And welcome to the new thread everyone, for the first of two rounds on British soil. The British Grand Prix. It might be a snooze fest at the front for Merc, but hoping the midfield battle gives us all a race to watch.

Weather is forecast as dry with only 10%-20% chance of rain.

Pirelli will bring the C1, C2, C3 compound tyres for use in the race; the following week is the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, which will also be held at Silverstone, will see the C2, C3 and C4 selection used.

I really feel the sport of f1 is in a horrible place right now. Even in the dominant Ferrari and Red Bull eras, there was decent competition, these mercs are basically not even having to break sweat to post lap records week in week out...And at least in the 80s when mclaren were dominating, the inter team rivalry between senna and Prost made it exciting. Now we’ve got Batman and robin in the same team. Bottas doesn’t have any sense of ruthlessness, aggression, hunger or any tangible desire of winning a championship, he’s just happy to trundle around picking up constructor points and the very odd win when Hamilton fudges up usually.. grim times.

Man with broke phone

I wouldnt worry about it the otehr teams will compete eventually. Or fall behind force india. Merc need a likeable autopilot though instead of hamilton. Anybody could win the championship in that car, give it to Ricciardo and Checo next year.

The season summed up in one post.

Vettel embarrassed himself today 1.1 seconds difference to LeClerc in Q3. I'd love to hear the Vettel apologists explain that.

Agreed, he is also a damned good driver, who on the grid is better than him, he's generally just a tenth or 2 off Hamilton in qually and often out qualifies his illustrious teammate. Max is better, LeClerc is better, maybe Vettel but perhaps not this season, who else?

Practically everyone on the grid is better than him. People seem to forget that the last time there was an above average driver in the second Mercedes, Rosberg, he beat Hamilton to the title.

Bottas is nowhere near doing that. Either Ferrari driver, either Red Bull driver, either Renault driver, either McLaren driver, Perez, Magnussen, Hulkenberg, Raikkonen, Russell, or Gasly would all do better.

Wouldnt call myself a ‘Vettel apologist’, but he had 2 compromised practise sessions which wouldnt have helped

Despite being pushed out the door he outqualified Leclerc for Austria 2 and Hungary, its not a Max and Albon situation where its a constant difference

0.650 second behind his teammate. That's a gap you'd expect with Russel vs Latifi/Kubica. That's bad. I wonder what the other excuses are.

You must be totally lacking in any human empathy if you cannot understand why Vettel is no longer achieving the best with Ferrari.

He had a short interview with Mark Webber , after qualification, When Webber put it to him that his situation must be like a marriage break up but where you are expected to do the best for the person kicking you out Eettel agreed than that the situation was very difficult.
Personally, i would walk as he doesn't need the money but Vettel vowed to see out his time with Ferrari.

Doesn't matter ... He will probably be taken out by his teammate again tomorrow ...:rolleyes:

Very little point bothering to even try and answer/explain.

Now Russell is starting from the back of the grid. Does he and the car have the capability to overtake the Hass’ and Alfa’s in the race?

Definitely not if you want to deny he was embarrassed by his teammate in quali.

Maybe you've just come to expect Seb to be that far behind LeClerc.

The Williams has much better quali pace than race pace. They've qualified well recently with both cars getting into q2 in one instance. But they start going backwards pretty soon in the race.

I think it does. The William's might not be great but I think it is better than both the Hass and the Alfa cars this year.

Unlikely as he's 6 places behind him on the grid.

F2 race didn't disappoint, the uncertainty about tyres leads to great races

I deliberately didn't say at the start ... It's a long race .... Let's see how they both perform considering the car is very..very dodgy when driving with high fuel loads

RB was slower than last year.
Vettel was slower than his 2018 qually lap.

If you compare Merc to the GP1.5 pack they have improved less of a percentage against those teams than they have against the big 2 RB and Ferrari who have gone backwards. We know Ferrari is seriously down on power, but why has Red Bull regressed?

I’m gonna tweet Hamilton and ask him where he got Sugar Puffs. I’ve been looking for them for years and thought they’d been discontinued

If hamilton sails off into the sunset will the tv director just focus on him all afternoon?

Doubt it, nothing to be gained by doing that. Especially if there are battles going on further down the field.

Cheers Anto!

Ch4 has a lot of ad breaks. Noticed it yesterday when a qualifying section was over they jumped straight into ads.

Was watching on free to air in Germany last year. RTL I think. They were taking ads every 5 minutes during the race. No enjoyment watching it whatsoever.

Happy to watch the build up on Sky, as the C4 presenter is awful, but I'll be switching over as soon as they hand over to Crofty Croft.

Pity Eir still don't have it. Enjoyed it in HD

Hulks F1 career in a nutshell ffs.

Widdensushi

Less interviews from Hamilton would be good for the sport, it's not easy listened to.

Thought I would switch over to C4 for a change cause they have this one live.
Didn't think the Hamilton ar*e licking could get any worse than SKY but there you go.....

On another note, the irony in the "equality" video when F1 still goes to to Bahrain/China/Abu Dhabi

Getting chummy!
