2021 Sao Paulo Grand Prix

[Kiante]

FP1 is going on now. Lewis has a new ICE and its his fifth, so he has a 5-place grid penalty this weekend:

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

One of my favorite tracks of the year. The run to the Senna S is spectacular.

 

[Kiante]

This was extremely unecessary:

 

[StandOnIt]

Pitiful. It is like the Burton gerbil saying what he thinks the driver is going to do or what the driver is thinking. It's making them the show instead of the other way around. No respect.

The hits keep coming for Merc:

Boom:

This was extremely unecessary:

I don't see any issue with that.

Boom:

Damn, Max can get himself in position to secure the championship before the last race now.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This race is certainly a better show than the last sprint at Monza.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Hamilton made it from 20th to 5th in 24 laps, that was an incredible charge through the field.

I wish they'd let a random fan wave the checkered flag instead of some "celebrities".

 

[Kiante]

I don't see any issue with that.

Damn, Max can get himself in position to secure the championship before the last race now.

Biased English media is highly annoying.

Bashing Bottas for no reason irks me.

"Honda F1 Boss Amazed At Mercedes Engine Penalties". Frankly, so am I. What's been going on with Mercedes this year? It hasn't been just the engine changes either. The DRS spec. problem is another example.

I haven't been following F1 very long but this is the first year I have seen Hamilton be in real jeopardy of missing the championship since Rosberg won.. His driving skills certainly haven't fallen off, as demonstrated by the Sprint.

Honda F1 boss amazed at Mercedes engine penalties

Honda, who made headlines only a few years ago for Formula One power unit failures and grid penalties, expressed amazement on Friday at how many engines usually rock-solid Mercedes were going through this season.

Biased English media is highly annoying.

Bashing Bottas for no reason irks me.

They used to say much nastier stuff about Webber on RTL.

 

[Greg]

It is far from over. Hamilton has the speed to win today. His odds are less with the grid penalty but I could still see him winning the race today.
I also think he can still control his 2021 championship destiny if he leaves with a 2nd place finish today.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hardly the start Mercedes needed from Bottas.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Lando screwed himself there for sure. Not clear.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Played out fantastic for Red Bull. Hamilton is coming though.

Defending Tsunoda is getting more and more difficult.

 

[gnomesayin]

Hardly the start Mercedes needed from Bottas.

Absent that, Hamilton cleared everyone else about as quickly as possible. A lot of speed there, but will probably take a major strategy play to overcome the rest.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Horner about to say they got Tsunoda’d again.

 

[aunty dive]

Awful shenanigans on the restart.

 

[gnomesayin]

There should be a better way than the way DRS is configured, but it does add to the iNtRIgUe for Red Bull that Verstappen may want to keep Perez within DRS range to help him hold off Hamilton.

 

[CodeMan125]

Hahah get em Perez !

 

[gnomesayin]

Wow, good scrap between Hamilton and Perez.

 

[CodeMan125]

Max better get going,Hamilton is hauling ass !

 

[gnomesayin]

How was Bottas that bad for the first three laps, and now he's staying right with Perez?

 

[Kiante]

This has been a fun race, so far.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Such a long pit lane.

Undercut worked well for Hamilton.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Welp, it’s getting hairy now.

 

[donthaveanickname]

They're gonna crash each other again

 

[gnomesayin]

I knew it would be spicy if Hamilton got there, did not disappoint.

 

[Marcingak]

Verstappen is a dirty son of a bitch. He races people dirty all the time but if someone looks at him wrong he whines like a little girl.

 

[Kiante]

That might warrant a penalty.

The Kevin Harvick of F1

 

[Kiante]

No penalty for that action.

Let them race, I like it.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Big fan of the broadcast playing all the good Masi interactions this year.

 

[gnomesayin]

No penalty for that action.

Let them race, I like it.

I am for driving penalties when there are negative consequences that are the result of an at-fault incident, but not on something like that.

 

[FLRacingFan]

No penalty for that action.

Let them race, I like it.

They’ve been trying to wreck each other all year and the biggest penalty was 10 seconds in a race one of them won easily anyways, no point in changing it up now.

 

[Marcingak]

Verstappen swerving and blocking all over the place.
