Formula 1 Aramco United States Grand Prix 2021

I'd like to think Merc knows what they're doing, but this has gone wrong a few times this year.

 

[BrainsBush]

Hear that crowd

 

[Adam41]

Without a SC, I think that's the podium sorted.

 

[NotThePrez]

Verstappen passes Hamilton in the pits. Mercedes has a hill to climb now...

 

[Grayfox]

Wonder if lewis will blame his team again.

Yep, they constantly fail to just react to their competitor. Did the same in Turkey, should have stopped HAM immediately after VER in both races.

 

[Blitz24]

Hear that crowd

Surprised Crofty didn't say this is a home race for Max too!

Gasly suspension is borked.

 

[andrea]

**** me what an undercut

 

[PaMu1337]

Gasly suspension failure

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Massive undercut.

Poor Gasly. 😔

 

[Demon Drone]

Huge lead for Max now. Don't see that lead going away anytime soon.

 

[Fat Tyre]

Mercedes are either extremely confident in their long term strategy or just plain crazy. So they gained a 3 lap tyre life advantage but lost track position by a significant margin. I don't understand it really. And Bottas is sucking balls as usual.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Well, that's race over. Maybe championship over.

 

[Dennisch]

Perez not faster on his yellows.

 

[Jezza819]

Two old men fighting on track.

 

[PaMu1337]

* Bodywork flying everywhere *
Crofty: they almost touch!

 

[Samus]

Carbon shards clearly fly in the air upon contact

Crofty: They almost touch.

 

[BrainsBush]

ALO-RAI turn one good racing.

 

[Dennisch]

Bottas doing what Bottas has been doing most of the time in his Merc.

 

[-Fred-]

Bottas actually does something!

 

[Fat Tyre]

Yay Bottas! Finally! Slow claps.

 

[GingerBredMan]

Only logical move is a one-stop for Merc. If Lewis isn't annoyed about being 6 seconds down after the pit then they must know what they're doing.

That being said it sounded like there's a slight chance that Lewis is having radio issues

Would be a very long stint. Don't think they could make it work

 

[BrainsBush]

ALO - GIO too wide for ALO??

 

[Touring Mars]

Alonso: "He gained an advantage by going off the track!"

Also Alonso: goes a mile off the track to gain an advantage

 

[PaMu1337]

Alonso: "He gained an advantage by going off the track!"

Also Alonso: goes a mile off the track to gain an advantage

And pushes Gio off track to complete the picture

 

[Veinz]

Lewis is oddly quiet on the radio

 

[BrainsBush]

Alonso: "He gained an advantage by going off the track!"

Also Alonso: goes a mile off the track to gain an advantage

Waiting for the outocme of the stewards. ALO swearing in 3...2...1

 

[Samus]

One stop is unlikely to work with the high temps and VER seeming to have a faster car. He'll just catch and pass HAM on fresh tyres.

Anyway, not much going on in this race other than Fernando testing the rules again.

 

[Touring Mars]

Alonso instructed to hand the place back to Gio...
