F1 2020 :Round 11 Eifel GP Nürburgring

Dani K and Seb getting familiar with each other again

And Seb is out.

I missed seeing crowds at races, particularly when they wave at the camera. Sure, I know they're waving at TV land, which is at me so I'd wave back for the craic!! I can't believe how nice it is to wave at the fans again!! . Try it, it's lovely!!

Well done Bottas and LeClerc

Calm down Crofty. Shouting about max being on pole. Still over 7 minutes left...

I watched the Russian Grand Prix with the sound muted. Surprisingly refreshing.

It's going to be a long old race for Hulk tomorrow, starting last and having done no running on heavy fuel

No option to use the simulator either.

I can't thinking if that had been eg McLaren, Hulk would have run in FP3

Brundle can't disguise his disappointment at Bottas getting pole. Raikkonen woeful, yet again.

Yeah raikkonen was 3 tenths down on Gio. Poor performance. With a new track and little running, you'd expect the drivers with experience to have an advantage over the relatively new drivers. But bother Kimi and Vettel were comprehensively beaten by their much less experienced teammates.

Kimi beaten by 3tenths and Vettel beaten by 2 tenths and half a second in q1 and q2 respectively. In Vettel's defense, he's being trounced by a driver who's rated as a decent talent. But Kimi is being beaten by a guy who's going to lose seat next year.

Otherwise it was a good result for Ocon who was basically level with Ric. And Kvyat was also within a tenth of Gasley. Norris beat Sainz by 2 and a half tenths.

I think Vettel is in an inferior car to Le Clerc. He's off to Aston Martin next season so they are probably withholding a lot of information from him. Basically both him and the Ferrari team are phoning it in for the rest of the season as there is little to play for.

OK. Why do you think he has an inferior car? Has Vettel said he's in an inferior car? Is it because hes not as fast as you'd expect so he must be in an inferior car?

Ferrari seem to be looking a bit better and the Haas and Alfa's too. Would have been nice too see Verstappen get pole but at least it's not Hamilton again. Just need Max to make a great start now and get ahead. If he or Bottas wins then that's not so bad. Nico has his work cut out. I would say Strolls car is not as nice to drive as Sergio's and not getting to do any free practice to get used to it or set it up to his liking would not help either.
As for Kimi I like him always did but it's time for him to retire after this year especially if that car is not going to improve much next year.

Hulkenberg LeClerc for a podium

Fixed your post.

I see Nico Hulkinberg said to Sky he got no sleep last night on the coffee all night and going over the steering wheel and video,s etc. He said he Hope's not to miss the race by sleeping out lol. Danial Ricciardo said if he gets into the top 5 he will be happy. Kimi his usual self and George Russel hoping for something exciting or some sort of crash to take a few out so he an get a chance to get a point or two.

Enjoyed that feature on Sky with Barachello, Raikonnen and Brundle. Don't think Kimi is a fan of Alonso based on his response to Brundle bringing him up.
