F1 - 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix

[Hotrod]

My dream came true seeing Romain at the track.
Try and find his interview. Bone chilling description of his extraction last week.
P1 under way.

Off to a rough start for Bottas. Lol

Bottas: It won't look good if Russell beats me

Valtteri Bottas has admitted it will not look good if he gets beaten by Mercedes' substitute driver George Russell at this weekend's Sakhir Grand Prix.

Btw, where is qualifying going to be on? Cant find it on the tv lineup at the usual time.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I appreciate the start times this weekend.

Russell 1st in FP1 Aitken and Fittipaldi looked respectable too.

 

[Reck]

Bottas is crumbling. Jesus

The F2 feature race will start at 7.10 am eastern. Tsunoda is on pole, Marzipan qualified 2nd, Ilott was 9th, Mick 18th.

 

[acmerocket]

so the car is 90% and the driver is only about 10%???

 

[Reck]

Toto Wolf out there writing Hamilton's tomb stone already. lol

 

[donthaveanickname]

So has anyone of you gotten up early to watch F2? This is great stuff.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Not gonna mention the race result in case someone has DVR'd it. But if you have recorded it WATCH IT!

Bottas is crumbling. Jesus

Been a fan of Bottas for quite awhile but tough to root for him anymore. He needs to figure out what his problem is.

This race was nuts. Someone got away with some insane blocking.

 

[donthaveanickname]

The Top 3 in qualifying are all within one tenth. This could be a good one tomorrow.

My only F2 race I have caught all year and it was a good one ! Cant wait for race #2.

I was looking for something different in GP1 quali but we got the same 3 cars.
George did good. Hoping for action but no fire balls tomorrow.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Another stinker from Albon. Only RB/AT driver not to advance to Q3.

Top three separated by just over half a tenth is crazy. Russell is having a great first weekend and the race is shaping up to be a close one.

I could really get used to F1 at noon.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Mazepin received two time penalties for all the blocking, dropping him to 9th.

 

[Truex_rox]

Anyone else pulling for George to knock off a win at the first try?

I would for you guys here but the overall F1 fan base is toxic as hell. Probably higher than NASCAR's because F1 is outright just entitled and openly racist about their disdain for certain people of color.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Anyone else pulling for George to knock off a win at the first try?

I'm rooting for him and I think it's absolutely possible.

 

[Hotrod]

Final F2 race - Ummmmm......ARE YOU EFFFING KIDDING !!!!!!!!!!
U N B E L I E V A B L E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I think I am in trouble for waking up the wife.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I only caught the final laps of the race.
Yuki in F1 will be fun to watch.

 

[aunty dive]

F1 short track Sunday.

Go, George!

 

[FLRacingFan]

The F2 sprint was a phenomenal race.

The F2 sprint was a phenomenal race.

Does anyone know if they will they replay it this week. Working this weekend, hated missing that one.

You can watch on demand on the ESPN app/web site, that’s what I did. Just need to log in with your cable or TV subscription.

 

[Reck]

Jesus Christ Bottas. Dump his ass already.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Oh I thought Max had a chance to win as well.

 

[Reck]

Bottas ****** up the whole pack. What an imbecile

 

[aunty dive]

Go, George!

 

[donthaveanickname]

It looked like Max didn't see the difference between the gravel and the tarmac.

Jesus Christ Bottas. Dump his ass already.

Toxic as hell

 

[FLRacingFan]

Leclerc really sent that one.

Max and Perez have some crappy luck really. At least Perez may not be too damaged.

 

[Reck]

It looked like Max didn't see the difference between the gravel and the tarmac.

Toxic as hell

Calling Bottas incompetence is toxic? lol Almost letting a McLaren by to boot

 

[Reck]

Bottas locking up his tires every corner.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Toro Rosso is looking really strong today.

 

[Reck]

Is there a chance Bottas is pulling a Hamilton and letting Russell think he's light years ahead and nab him later? I doubt it but old boy better pull up.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Amazon coming through again. Shows Russell’s tires are almost shot while he says the tires are fine, lol.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Is there a chance Bottas is pulling a Hamilton and letting Russell think he's light years ahead and nab him later? I doubt it but old boy better pull up.

Maybe if he’s saving his tires more and plans on overcutting but three seconds seems like a lot to make up here. Race is going by pretty quickly too.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Wonder if they're gonna start talking about a threat of rain with 10 to go.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Yeah that worked in George’s favor.

 

[Reck]

If Bottas inherits a win due to a dying car I will lose it.
