Formula 1 Heineken Grande Prémio De Portugal 2021Formula 1

[TenEightyOne]

Raikkonnen's penalty from the last race has been granted a review, which sets (I think) an interesting precedent in itself.

As I understand it Race Control called a rolling start after 1 lap rather than the 2 laps stated in the rules. A 1-lap restart should have been a standing start. That left Kimi adrift with no way of getting to the right place for this new procedure.

Can someone please tell Toto that a face mask goes over the nose?

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Kimi noooooooooooooooooooooooo! What happened.

edit: Oh, teammate collision.

 

[Veinz]

Ouf kimi

 

[PaMu1337]

Kimi noooooooooooooooooooooooo! What happened.

Looks like he just drove straight into Giovinazzi... Didn't look like either made a strange move

 

[Racing_Chef]

We're back. Max spiced up at P2.

 

[Veinz]

A 3 way battle for the lead and tsn goes to commercial

 

[HenrySwanson]

This is going to be a good championship

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Both Mercs starting to pull away from Max.

 

[Veinz]

Hamilton is in dirty air but still takes better lines through corners.

 

[PaMu1337]

DRS is still a bit overpowered here on the main straight

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Nice pass by Lewis for the lead.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Hoah boy, that was close

 

[Dennisch]

'Tyres are pretty shot'

Watch him do another 25 laps on this set.

'Tyres are pretty shot'

Watch him do another 25 laps on this set.

And then set a fastest lap

 

[AshenGraey]

Anyone else having issues with F1 TV??

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Is everyone going for a one stopper?

edit: Looks like it. Stroll has 27 laps on the softs.

 

[andrea]

So Bottas is just Lewis' wingman again? Okay, got it.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Russell has had no pace at all today.

 

[GTFan24]

It is absolutely so damn frustrating that Lewis was easily able to pass Valterri but Max cannot pull anything off

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Lap 37 Lewis: Tire's still okay

 

[andrea]

Perez knows all about being a wall. He's Mexican.

 

[PeterJB]

All Bottas did in the first stint was get in the way of the championship fight.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Perez has now led 2 laps, more than Gasly or Albon managed in the last 2 seasons. He is far enough ahead to be a problem for Mercedes if there's a Safety Car. This driver move is pretty much already worth it then.

Bottas has given up now Max is through.

 

[Skygrasper550]

good grief, how long until Perez makes a pit stop?? Red Bull are really making full use of his tire management skills.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Mazepin AGAIN showing why he's not F1 worthy.

 

[Famine]

The unwelcome touching enthusiast trying to make himself relevant there.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Nikita close to taking Perez out. Ugghh
