Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 4, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2021 I just wonder if some of the other teams start to close up on each other, then even if, as a group they close on Mercedes, they will take points from each other which still leave LH winning it relatively comfortably.

MancWanderer Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Possibly mate but looking beyond Red Bull as a serious rival is anyone’s guess. Hamilton, Bottas, Max on the podium with the odd interloper for me. Could so easily be wrong though. One thing I wilL predict though is that Ferrari will barely trouble the scorers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as they’ve been postponed it will be a Lewis procession again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 4, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2021 Another procession for Lewis. Last season for Bottas in the Merc I reckon. Think they’ll put Russell in that seat in 2022 alongside Lewis for his last hurrah before he goes to Ferrari in 2023 for his last 2 years.

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted March 4, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2021 Fuck Ferrari full fucking stop. Biggest cheating cunts ever. Not because others don't also, many have done so over the years but they use their status to bend the rules or break them with little punishment compared to other teams. This year I am hoping Russell can get some points, McLaren improve and Perez keeps Max on his toes. Lando and Danny should be entertaining post race.

It would have to be more than competitive for him I think. He’s only going elsewhere if he’s going To have a proper chance of winning it. He’s an egomaniac. He isn’t going to tarnish his legacy I don’t think. I would love to see him winning races in the Ferrari though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Wins this season and he’s gone for good. No way will he take the chance in an inferior car. Russell in to replace him for definite for me. Bottas takes second place can see Merc giving him a shot at the title in 2022. He deserves it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves it I am not sure yet. Going to be an interesting year with all eyes on the future. If Bottas gets a good start to the season then he has a shot at lead driver for 2022, if he doesn't then I think he is toast. Hamilton I think is 80% retiring but at the same time that 20% would not be too much of a surprise, especially if he sees potential in the new car. Plus there is always the chance of some stupid offer from another team. I just really hope some of the other drivers shine this year; Russell, Perez, Riccardo and Norris. Would be funny to see Alonso shaking it up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Sweeps cousin is a mechanic for one of the Superbike teams, travels all over the world, never gets to see any of it - he's been doing it for about 30 years, which is why he's still single, it's not the sort of life you can lead and hold down any sort of relationship - he does reckon there is top level shagging to be done though on or around race day, as numerous groupies want to try and get access behind the scenes to pit lanes etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted March 5, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2021 The liveries are really decent this year. Well, apart from Haas. The Williams is smart as is the Merc. I really want Russell to get some points and continue his demolition job on Latifi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
