Didn't see it, but what do folk think? Not great for overtaking but I sensed it was very much an end of term race. Everything decided, fatigue probably setting in. Guess they all just wanted a quiet race and get home for a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping next year will be closer. Mainly because the rules aren't that much different to this year just a bit less downforce. Red Bull have improved and Ferrari will have a better engine (the cheating cunts have probably found another hidden way of cheating the dirty red cheats) I really hope McLaren can keep up their progress too, the more in the mix the better!

The thing is Merc seem to be really far ahead, especially with reliability, even this year when they all thought they caught up, Merc then had that new moveable steering wheel. Seem to have the jump on everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Dull race but happy that Max rounded the season off with a win. He deserved it Next season? Merc. Hamilton to shatter all records and then retire. Bottas to go as well after another 2nd. 2022 to see Perez and Russell at Merc. YHIHF 2021 imo will see McLaren properly push Red Bull for 2nd unless Red Bull replace Albon. Ferrari. Nah. Development year but could be strong in 2022 2020 summary. Brilliant year. New tracks. Fantastic midfield racing. Great to see racing at lower temperatures later in the year with different weather rather than constant sun and heat. Loved it. Best year imo for a while.

Racing Point. Merc. Seems obvious to me. He’s replacing Bottas Ferrari? For me it’s still a no for next year. They are a fuck up on the whole team front. No decent management.

But have just accepted and it, and I believe spent all their time and efforts on this new engine upgrade. They are bullish. Might be bullshit.

I agree totally pal. This new engine upgrade might be good but they desperately need to sort out their management. You might as well put KwikFit in charge of them and they’d do better. They need a Toto figurehead in charge otherwise all the development is wasted. Their strategy is shite. Their driver management is shite. And their race management is fucking appalling. They need a year to bed in I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a year to bed in I reckon I’m biased as I’m a Ferrari fan and think them not being at the top table competing just isn’t F1. I just don’t have much to shout about currently unfortunately. I’m also a massive fan of le clerc and think he’s an exceptional driver. I like merc for obvious reasons but other than that they’re just well Germanic. Awfully efficient and generally good at everything they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 If I was to nail my colours to the mast I’m a McLaren fan. I just loved the Senna/Prost days and that red and white race car. It’s the epitome of F1 Their development over the last few years has been incredible. Norris and Ricciardo next year will be interesting I’ll also always keep an eye on Williams. Mansell, Piquet, enough said But the next season or so. Go on Lewis. Smash the fuck out of all the records. GOAT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the worst race ever , boring thats why I quit watching in the Schumacher days However the highlight of the day as always this year has been Norris ya gotta love this kid albon , what a stuffy little brat russell , can only get better leclerc , will get better with age i detested verstappen but then again I wasn’t a great fan of his dad but the lad has matured and I was chuffed for him this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted December 15, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2020 I don't agree with the Albon hate but he hasn't performed for sure this year. Perez deserves a drive. Russell is class, expect him in a decent car in 2022. Chuffed for Norris, he is laugh and a good driver, hopefully he can step up in the coming years. I am hoping Vettell has a half decent car next year too, he still has the ability to show the younger ones how to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Worst race ever? Not by a country mile Albon. Very, very good driver but in the wrong car. He needs to be in a midfield car and scrapping to show his class. He’ll go no further Max? He’s next champion LeClerc? Get the feeling that he will flatter to deceive. Good driver but no race craft. Too reckless and makes bad decisions Norris? In time he will be second to Max Russell? Should be at Merc very soon but I’ll bet now that it never happens and he’ll lose out. Perez will take the seat and paste him Outside bet is Danny Ric. Might not win the title but will nab a few podiums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 If Perez starts grinding out results and Max keeps having off days it might actually focus him to be a bit steadier But then who wants a “steady” Max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
