SeaWolf Posted September 1, 2020 Report Posted September 1, 2020 I read this on planetf1.com It just so spot on, I couldn't stop laughing. "If there is one positive for the Scuderia heading into the Italian Grand Prix next week, it’s that there will be no tifosi in the stands to witness what looks like being another humiliation." I really do feel bad for the drivers, sucks when the engine is ripped from under you by regulations and the development of the chassis went in the wrong direction. 1 Quote
ironbut Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Posted September 3, 2020 What a sad state the red cars are in! It happens to the best of them though (Williams). I can't help wondering if the local police will be able (or try) to keep the tifosi from lining the fences and filling the trees like they usually do? Just have to wait and see? Quote
mwl168 Posted September 5, 2020 Report Posted September 5, 2020 What a disastrous qualification Ferrari had at Monza earlier today! Enzo is turning over in his grave. 1 Quote
SeaWolf Posted September 5, 2020 Report Posted September 5, 2020 Yea unfortunately for them Enzos reach does not extend beyond the grave. The old man would never have allowed the regulations that nurfed their engine. I was really impressed by Sainz and mclaren. Thank god they banned engine modes btw clearly that closed the gap.. Quote
Torpedo Posted September 5, 2020 Report Posted September 5, 2020 Yup, Honda got a lot worse on qualification. Quote
SeaWolf Posted September 6, 2020 Report Posted September 6, 2020 Randomness saves us from tedium yet again, a trio on the podium that no one would have bet on! Perhaps Bernies sprinkler idea wasn't so daft! 1 Quote
Torpedo Posted September 7, 2020 Report Posted September 7, 2020 I think the red flag after Magnussen's breakdown was excessive. Way too much luck for Gasly and Stroll, but hey, these are races and it was a lot of fun Quote
ironbut Posted September 7, 2020 Author Report Posted September 7, 2020 That was too much fun! Congrats to all the winners (that includes McLaren and F1 in general). That race highlighted a lot of the things I love about F1. Sad to see Claire and Frank leaving the helm of Williams. The end of owner run teams for now at least. Quote
robm321 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Finally, an interesting race. Happy to see Gasly get a win. He's been through so much. Edited September 8, 2020 by robm321 Quote

padam Posted September 13, 2020 Report Posted September 13, 2020 Two hours into the race and it is still open for grabs, this is hilarious :) They need tracks like this. Quote

Torpedo Posted October 3, 2020 Report Posted October 3, 2020 They should be going hydrogen instead of electric on batteries. At least they are coherent with the carbon neutrality goal. I'm not sorry for Red Bull, though. I'never liked nor trusted them, all those Vettel championships still smell fishy. Quote
Fitz Posted November 3, 2020 Report Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) I spend way too much time on r/formuladank Edited November 3, 2020 by Fitz 5 Quote
ironbut Posted November 6, 2020 Author Report Posted November 6, 2020 Yup,.. that was a good one!!! I was living with my long suffering mother those days so she got to hear those races in the early AM (used to have it on VHS). 2 Quote
mikeymad Posted November 7, 2020 Report Posted November 7, 2020 So youtube thinks I like f1 now... so binging This is impressive precession driving with pit input. 2 Quote
ironbut Posted November 15, 2020 Author Report Posted November 15, 2020 A wet Turkish GP quali made for some major fun! I can only hope that Sunday will be as entertaining (and I'll try not to post spoilers till Monday). Quote
padam Posted November 15, 2020 Report Posted November 15, 2020 Yes it was. Wet races FTW As the British commentators were saying: less downforce, more driver skillz Quote
ironbut Posted November 20, 2020 Author Report Posted November 20, 2020 Congrats to Lewis! Once again making it look easy and still showing humility. Not a fan but my hat's off to the best driver in the best car,.. again! 1 Quote
robm321 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Yes, congrats to Hamilton. I'm a fan because he's such a good driver. Obviously, having the best car also makes for uneventful races, so I usually root against him. I've been disappointed that Bottas hasn't given him more of a challenge also. Quote
ironbut Posted November 20, 2020 Author Report Posted November 20, 2020 One thing that really sets him above so many other greats is the way he makes the right decision over and over, race after race. It must drive the other drivers mad! 1 Quote
padam Posted November 27, 2020 Report Posted November 27, 2020 The Case For Logan Sargeant: Road To Formula 1 Glory Solid mini-documentary about how one can get into F1, I am routing for a US driver to be there. Quote
Torpedo Posted November 29, 2020 Report Posted November 29, 2020 OMG what a race. I'm glad there are no casualties. I won't say more not to spoil the fun of those not watching it live. 1 Quote
