Formula 1 Aramco Gran Premio De España 2021Formula 1

[Skygrasper550]

Ballsy overtake from Perez, holy crap.

 

[PaMu1337]

I'm guessing Max is saving his tires like crazy, so he can hold Lewis off at the end

 

[NotThePrez]

More pit lane woes for Gasly.

Russell currently running in 11th. Doubt it's gonna get much better than that, but you never know. Alonso was complaining about a misfire earlier.

 

[BrainsBush]

friendly way of saying: Step aside Bottas

 

[PaMu1337]

Bottas making it hard on Lewis

 

[HenrySwanson]

Oh Bottas....

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Valterri definitely not following orders.

edit: Lost about a second or two there.

 

[NotThePrez]

Seems like Bottas is ignoring team orders....

Hamilton goes for a good overtake on Bottas, but no doubt there's time lost.

Edit: Bottas pits for Softs, ends up behind Leclerc. Seems like an odd time to go for fastest lap.

 

[andrea]

He made it difficult but he still let him have it.

 

[Skygrasper550]

yeah Bottas isn't keen on taking one for the team.

 

[PeterJB]

If that's Bottas' best attempt at a defense that was pretty pathetic. Could been fooled for him just letting him through.

 

[MSZ]

lol Bottas

It's no wonder why the Finnish sports media has more hockey coverages than their own F1 drivers.

 

[BrainsBush]

with 10 laps to go and 5.5 secs Max is a sitting duck. Although both rear rights of Lewis/Max suffer a lot.

 

[andrea]

Ya max is ****ed. Great.

 

[PaMu1337]

Merc played this perfectly, they made it impossible for RB to respond

 

[NotThePrez]

Good pass by Lewis. Seems Mercedes won the strategy race today.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

That was easier than expected. Hamilton and Mercedes strategy can be such an unfair combo.

 

[andrea]

Max jist needs a team mate in that pit window.

 

[MSZ]

Definitely a team win for Mercedes and a team loss for Red Bull.

 

[GTFan24]

Why the absolute 🤬 do i ever have any optimism as a red bull fan? This season's already over just hand Lewis the damn title already

 

[BrainsBush]

Well deserved win for Lewis & team. Good that we spectators had a good race with battles. Max (&team) tried but 2nd is the best they could achieve.
Max & Lewis both are exceptional racers. Tbh Bottas and Perez are so so. Expected more from them.

 

[McLaren]

Just simply got outplayed by Mercedes' strategy. Red Bull really needs Perez up there.

Wish Lando had a better race. Was happy to see the Honey Badger up there a bit.

 

[Grayfox]

It was teal.

Remember seeing a purple halo strip on one of those cars.

 

[PeterJB]

Remember when Mercedes had a dog of a car in pre-season testing?

 

[PaMu1337]

Remember seeing a purple halo strip on one of those cars.

Pretty sure you are misremembering.
Lewis does have purple on his helmet, though

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Mostly entertaining race. Mercedes nailed their strategy.

I'm surprised by Ferrari's pace, and Alpine's lack of it. Makes me nervous for McLaren's 3rd in the WCC. You can do it!

Good job by Gasly getting a point.

 

[McLaren]

Remember seeing a purple halo strip on one of those cars.

I believe they did last season.

 

[Skygrasper550]

Perez has his work cut out for him. Today is a perfect example of why Red Bull need that rear gunner. They got outplayed by Merc's strategy.

 

[AshenGraey]

That Lewis and Mercedes combo is certainly a cheat code ....funny how Red Bull was the ones who called it first "Hungary 2019" ..... Good job on Lewis for making it work yet again...either way, I was expecting a snooze fest but that wasn't too bad. Red Bull still has some work to do!

 

[andrea]

Never seen a radio to the Race Control before

Mazepin has triggered the first ever FIA/F1 team communication broadcast. Iconic driver.
