Emirates Formula 1 70th Anniversary Grand Prix 2020 Snooze-fest, Sorry "Race"

[h3ro]

Hilarious message by Max lol

[jgonzalesm6]

Mad Max not heeding the warning of his engineers on tires.

He wants the kill on Lewis.

"Mate, this is the only chance of being close to the Mercedes I'm not just going to be sitting here like a Grandma."

- Max Verstappen, Red Bull

Red Bull asking Max to pull back to take care of the tires says a lot about the series right now.

Crofty, Brundle, and the TV production crew earning their keep trying to keep this interesting.

Good race wasn't it. Hectic first hour though. Weather stayed away, and my friend chris in 51 had solid consistent race too.

Now this formula none Mercedes, seem close. But think will be lapped by the formula mercedes cars upto p4 at this pace.

Very hectic until it all settled down after that hour. Thought the Kessel Ferrari had done enough to take advantage of the Porsche going off at Les Combes (I think it was).

Yes I suspect you're right, the mercs will easily lap most of the field. Rest of the cars seem pretty spread out now.

[jgonzalesm6]

Hulk pits on lap 16

[jgonzalesm6]

Max making this race interesting.

[tifosi1993]

Great tyre management and race pace from Charles, last lap was his PB 1:32.252. At this rate he will leapfrog Norris

[jgonzalesm6]

Seb P11 on lap 17

[jgonzalesm6]

Stroll pits lap 18

[nani_s23]

Vettel can block Norris/gas/albon ....!! Lec will benefit

[tifosi1993]

Charles pits, a bit early I'd say. His pace was very good on mediums

[nani_s23]

Good strategy by ferrari ... Norris Va Lec now

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc overtakes Norris. Now Vettel needs to get the **** away

[Redfive]

Nice one Charles!

[Rob]

Starting see mercs weakness, again. Been long time since they chewed their tyres like this.

[ss-89]

Charles race pace is decent and we don't seem to have the same blistering problems as others

[Rishu]

Max can win this

[DJTaurus]

Why mercs didn’t have tyre management issues on previous races ??

[tifosi1993]

LMAO...Charles is now lapping faster than both Merc

Mercs are being told not to push. What is going on ?

Pirelli brought softer compounds for the second race I believe.

Softer tyre compound in hotter conditions. Always been their weakness. But haven't shown since their tyre test they had few years back.

[chinmay]

Another poor strategy call and ruined Vettel's race. He was doing pretty good on Hards.

[tifosi1993]

Ricciardo vs Charles (last lap)

Sector 1: 29.233 vs 28.799

Sector 2: 37.628 vs 37.437

Sector 3 25.398 vs 25.331

1:32.259 vs 1:31.567

Last week tyres were harder compound.
And temperatures were lower too if I remember correctly.

Maybe the summer heat is going to be a problem for them
