Tazio Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Wet race! This is a tricky day trying to juggle multiple sporting events on multiple channels. MotoGP done, cycle races recording, F1 to watch live. At least it all stops me watching football matches I’m not particularly interested in. Quote

Literally - I’d love Norris to win it, he’s been consistently quick last season and this but doesn’t seem to get the love in the pundits have for Russell. Quote
Mikey1874 Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Verstappen and Hamilton well ahead of the rest. Quote

Hamilton is always quoted as a great racer but in reality he’s been so good at qualifying his standard race is get pole, lead into the first corner and then drive the entire race on his own. In the last couple of seasons he’s had some very dubious incidents overtaking when he has to. Quote

Bigsmak Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Red Flag - this could be a while before it re-starts! Norris in 3rd! Quote

Bigsmak Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Need to see better coverage of that coming together - Did Botas move? Quote

That seems to be Russell’s opinion but I didn’t see any move. It looks like Russell didn’t factor in the fact that the straight actually has a slight turn to it. Quote
Tazio Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Bizarrely looks like Hamilton is going to profit from his teammate having a big off. Quote

Tazio Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Perfect timing for the end of the race as I jumped across to Eurosport for the last 20km of the Amstel Gold bike race. Quote
Mysterion Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 That was a great race. 2 out of 2 entertaining races. Who says F1 is boring? Quote

Taffin Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 The unlapping after the red flag was very, very fortunate for Hamilton. He's a wonderful driver but he does absolutely get the rub of the green at times when on the rare occasions it doesn't quite go so well. I always want him to lose, but only to make the championship exciting. Think he's a great ambassador for the sport and he's doing great things outside of F1 too so I'm very much not a 'Hamilton hater'. Quote

Panicked that he had been closing the gap but that Verstappen had put five backmarkers between them and got impatient when he was on the back of them. That said, it was very much a rookie error and, as you say, it perhaps reflects the point that he has been utterly dominant for years now and usually approaches backmarkers with a view to not letting folk catch him up rather than seeing them as an impediment to him catching someone else up. He definitely had a chance of getting on Max's tail at that point, something that possibly contributed to the red mist. Quote

No reason whatsoever to panic at that stage. Hopefully he has learned from this. Quote

Tazio Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Lando Norris has become my favourite drive since the start of last season. The boy is a proper racer and a character in a sport that needs them. Quote

Bigsmak Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 That was actually very impressive from him there.. Did not think that he would have been able to do that Quote
