i have faith in Perez the way he was driving at the end of 2020 was brilliant & i think if he can have the same tyre saving he will be good

also he not terrified of overtaking with albon was at times

That will be Mercedes nailed on to win 20 GPs and win the title by August then.

Mercedes may not be the fastest but they probably are the quickest with the Hamilton car.

yeah ive seen this they say. that they need another £6m to put the race on behind closed doors. & with FIA putting 23 races on. you could think that they fitted in cancellations. but i think turkey could be back.

i still highly doubt brazil will go ahead, go back to bahrain outer considering it popularity & even if it does sky sports would probally do it from a british studio. because i think it was safer on titanic than it is in that deathtrap of a country, espically when they are have 4,000 deaths a day & in the last 30 days UK has had 1600

To be honest if the race in canada was cancelled and the race wasn’t replaced, I’d be happy as 23 races a season is too many.

 

[gethinceri]

Yes, there should be no more than 15, on circuits that can actually give a good race.

 

[F1Brits_90]

i quite liked 19 races as a total. 15 is too few

 

[gethinceri]

I can remember good racing.

Why do you want a five week break in the middle ?

Why do you want a five week break in the middle ?

i was toying with back to back race in july

but then i thought from all workers that they would a decent break because if it was 25th by the time they get home it would be probally late 27th & they got to be back. probally 23rd august. so they would only have a 3 week gap to go on holiday

Interesting take on the situation with all the drivers in new teams this year - Why Imola was 'brutal' for F1 drivers who changed teams

I wonder what it was that bought Fernando Alonso back to F1?

[Dartman]
