The class of 2021:

[Liscia]

Yas Marina or No Marina let's be DONE with the 2021 season please!

[paolo lalli]

Better still let's be done with the complete hybrid crap era and the Mercedes nonsense which is so painfully predicted.

[Brembo]

It's already done. Honda won more races than Merc and their rocket. It's down to the last race. How much better can it get? Binotto said he gave up 2021 for 2022 so we fans need to watch the races now not knowing till the end who won. No one can honestly pick Sunday's winner.

[paolo lalli]

Iam backing the underdog max.

[patrese86]

Hope we can finish on a high, give the upgraded PU everything.

For the championship battle I'm wanting Max to win but I think Mercedes will have too much, especially with the new layout.

[paolo lalli]

Layout was mercredes inspired,of course it was knowing that if the layout remaind the same and going in level pegged with redbull well that would have been game set match.,easily now red bull have to work very hard.As for the bullies of f1 mercedes by a mile always squelling like pigs at every barn.

[tifosi1993]

I wouldn't be surprised if both Ham and Ver score a DNF in this race and the championship gets settle inside a courtroom. Too much pride at stake here. If Max is behind then he will definitely do a lunge and will probably take himself and Lewis out.

But I have my popcorns ready. Two of the sports biggest crybabies going at each other will be quite hilarious and entertaining.

[Brembo]

A first WDC and an 8th WDC is for sure worth fighting for. Two of the sports biggest $$ makers for F-1 and for themselves. Millions of F-1 fans ready to watch the race. A podium for Ferrari would be the maximum best result.

I personally feel the Lewis V. Max has gone stale.
I'm just happy hearing good news from SF's (our) side for the past few years, that they are actually pulling together for the next era.
Fingers crossed.

Prost vs Senna

Schumacher vs Villeneuve

..........but I digress

being precise here in my quote otherwise some unnamed idiot will take it as another source (sarcasm intended!)

on PlanetF1 there is an article, where our impartial fia stewart masi states that a collision between mv and lh will result in disqualification and even point deductions...
therefore making it very clear that the history of Senna v Prost x 2 and Sumacher v Villeneuve cannot be repeated.
funny thing this is that only one driver could benefit from such a result.
impartial ruling of favouritism?

[Silent Bob]

Schumacher lost of all his points.

[Riccardog]

Schumacher lost of all his points.

indeed yes, the entire season points were deleted.... thanks!
forgot about that one!!!

[jgonzalesm6]

Schumacher lost of all his points.

+1

[tifosi1993]

*Error with Tsunoda's sector times.

[tifosi1993]

Not really buying that pace from Alpine. Their sector 1 and 2 times show higher engine mode being used.

Long run pace was decent. Although Charles's pace dropped off massively towards the end, most notably in sector 1 and 2 but his sector 3 time was still respectable. Probably some experiment with the energy deployment. This race is looking like an easy one stopper.

Really excited to see what Ferrari can do in qualifying tomorrow. According to Binotto, Ferrari will finally turn up the full power here.

If that is the case, won't MV win on count back?

[jgonzalesm6]

yep. Max has 9 wins to Lewis's 8 wins.

[WS6TransAm01]

yep. Max has 9 wins to Lewis's 8 wins.

Okay, so no brainer for Max. If need be, take out TwoChains...

In a perfect world, Bottas takes him out as a parting. Perez could also be a good team mate and miss his breaking point, slide ride up the back of the Merc into T1. So many possibilities.

Qualy is going to be very important here. Figure both teams would want second driver to be a buffer.

We also don't know IF either team will change PU's either before quali or before FP3. Mercedes would want "the blessed one" with the spicy engine.

[JPMFerrari]

Probably an 8th and 9th race finish ahead.

[paolo lalli]

Bottas born a butler will die a butler.He lacks the courage and the skill set to take this race by the horns.He must be tired of polishing Hamilton's and Toto's boots.Grow some balls and go for the victory your self butler .
