Formula 1 Aramco United States Grand Prix 2021

[Jezza819]

Quite cheeky for Alpine to complain to Masi about passing off track.

 

[phillgt2002]

So far a pretty uninteresting race. It seems like this is going to be a recurring theme - watch the start, watch part of the middle and watch the end.

Hahahahaha Alpine drama with the FIA. Love this.

 

[Blitz24]

Alonso had to give the place back to Gio.

Quite pathetic, and very glad Alonso was told to give the place back.

 

[PaMu1337]

Alonso had to give the place back to Gio.

And rightfully so

 

[-Fred-]

Ham casually knocked 2 seconds off Verstappen

 

[Samus]

More Crofty nonsense. We're not past the watershed in the UK anyway and the radio is part of the world feed, they can't just start airing expletives because of the time in one country.

 

[Blitz24]

And now Gio needs to give a spot back.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Tasty Vettel on Russell pass. 😮

 

[andrea]

Alpine and Alfa just systematically testing who gets penalties for gaining against who.

 

[Grayfox]

Odd that they're allowing you to shove others off this round and not leave that gap.

 

[Blitz24]

That was a quick VSC.

 

[Veinz]

It was 3.3 seconds before the vsc

 

[Fat Tyre]

Mercedes has to pull a Red Bull and switch Bottas and Russell for the remaining races. Williams is not a real sister team as AT is to RB but I'm sure they could get to some arrangement. Bottas is complete rubbish, he's got yet another fresh engine yet he can't overtake to save his life.

Russell may actually hinder Lewis' chances for the championship if they do that

Bottas is complete rubbish, he's got yet another fresh engine yet he can't overtake to save his life.

And his excuse of the stress of 1 year contract renewals is gone.

You think he would not happily play second fiddle like Perez is doing for Max?

 

[andrea]

Toto just told Lewis he's racing for the win...

Well...

 

[PeterJB]

This seems to be swinging in Lewis' favour

 

[PaMu1337]

Lewis should still get out behind Max. Passing will be hard, as by the time Lewis can get close enough, the speed difference won't be that big anymore

 

[Samus]

Well...

Very odd message. Not like HAM thought he was racing for 8th, is it.

 

[Dennisch]

Lewis will go for the medium tyre.

 

[BrainsBush]

Gap PER-HAM <22 sec

 

[PaMu1337]

Gap PER-HAM <22 sec

No, that's to Max, the gap to Hamilton is 35 sec

 

[Roo]

I can't see how, because

Lewis should still get out behind Max. Passing will be hard, as by the time Lewis can get close enough, the speed difference won't be that big anymore

Max has track position and by the time Lewis gets close he'll be out of tyres. Max has it pretty much in the bag.

 

[Fat Tyre]

How so? If Lewis pits he'll still be coming 7 seconds behind Max.

 

[Blitz24]

Heat confusion it seems.

 

[Veinz]

It could go either way.

 

[PeterJB]

I can't see how, because

Max has track position and by the time Lewis gets close he'll be out of tyres. Max has it pretty much in the bag.

Depending on how much longer he goes he'll have much better tyres at the end and has better top speed on the straights. He can push Max and force him to burn his tyres out.
