F1 2021

I actually enjoyed last season as McLaren are finally showing signs of recovery. I watch the programme on Netflix recently "drive to survive" and it provides some great insight, which got me interested for this season again.

I can never sit through a whole F1 race without asking what I'm doing with my life but I do really like Drive to Survive. It's like the Real Housewives of Cheshire with more fluid leaks
 
Are Mercedes playing a game? They were running higher fuel loads compared to others.
They seemed to have issues but will get round them.
Last season they stopped developing the car in August because of the advantage they had,that's why teams closed on them towards the season end, Hard to believe the car won't be as good or better this season.
 
I dont think that the spins and off-track excursions were part of a bluffing game. It looked like the car was not handling well. But, who knows. We will find out on Sunday.

We'll find out Saturday! They won't sandbag qualifying. As an aside, does anyone else wish it was the bizarre outer loop this weekend? I liked that track.
 
I'm not a betting man.... but there was some good returns for Mick Schumacher to get a 1 podium this year

Although Haas have never scored a Podium, Mick is a different bred and just look at his racing record in the previous series - I would fancy him to nick a podium at some stage, there's also a bizarre race or two every season, look at Gasly in Italy

Unfortunately he wont get a point in that car

I think the race was only interesting because of the issues merc had, in a normal race they would win by 30 seconds on that track

George Russell showed how good a driver he was in the Mercedes. Thats like saying Lewis Hamilton could get a podium in a Williams ... never in a month of sundays!

Haas are running the exact same car as last season pretty much. Saving development tokens for the all new cars for 2022. They'll be dead last all season.

Which is virtually a lap!

But I genuinely want more quirky track in F1. They are always fascinating. And the Fauxval of the Bahrain outer ring was as unique as we have had for a while.

For example: Safety, sanity and the fact it's a main road means we'll never see a grand prix track like AVUS again but I would love to see a modern f1 race there.
 
Will any drivers boycott the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia races? Also the countries that prevent the right to peaceful protest?

I was reading Hamilton's comments earlier about human rights. It's commendable but won't make a difference unfortunately.
 
I guess he'll make provocative statements at some of the race cicircuits.
I hope so. He has a voice and he's not afraid to use it. That being said he has happily raced in Bahrain in the post and is doing so again as we speak. I can see him doing the same in Saudi. Which is just sad really.
 
Red Bull looks quicker in qualy set up and Mercedes quickest in race trim from what I have read. The McLaren's diffuser will be on most cars by the third race but teams only have very limited upgrades they can use this season so it may not be suited to all current designs. They will be near the front of the midfield again. Aston Martin look like they have made a step too, they should win another race at least this season. Alfa Romeo could surprise a few teams too, this should be a really good season.

Lewis will win drivers but RedBull will win constructors is my prediction.

Aston Martin were pretty damn good last season! The Alpines and McLarens will be having a hell of a battle with the Green Mercedes this year.
