a bit of exciting race, given a safety car and the last 6 laps

-- Albon is all but gone, did nothing for himself or red bull
-- Max and a rear tire that went away along with the 2nd place
-- Ricardo finishes 3rd
-- George Russel, through away a point finish, on too much right foot warming tires
-- Raki, finishes 9th on first long stint on his tires...
-- RP blew a 3rd place for Perez on bad pit stop call
-- Stroll, keep scratching my head more on more on the decision to keep him...
-- MB 1/2 and a 7th construction championship...
-- Bottias must be wondering how to a please the racing gods...

What a coincidence that the VSC happens several minutes AFTER Ocon retires his car, and just as Lewis is approaching the pit entry - only to end as he is leaving the pit lane. He probably had the margin for the pit stop even under green flag conditions (though Mercedes pit stops were far from fast this weekend - sadly not long enough to dislodge Seb's wing end plate from the side of # 77 though). But Bottas needs to pray facing the same direction as Hamilton in the future. Of course, being Italy, there is no possibility of bribes or anything untoward going on here....

And the Bottas incident just goes to prove that Ferrari aero is sh!t! :-D

Hindsight is 20/20 but Red Bull pitted Max too early. They should always stay close to Lewis' strategy. Btw, kudos to his mechanics for fixing his car and getting it ready for his one run in Q2. As for Alex Albon, he is pretty much done.

I forgot to mention. Stroll for a moment was a Mustang owner, mowing down his jackman. Poor guy landed on his arse and went into limp mode back to the infirmary.

If yesterday's race is any indication of what the last few races will be like, then I will treat it like a college basketball game. No need to watch the race until the last 5 minutes of the race. That is when all the excitement happens.

ZCanadian · 11-13-2020, 11:07 AM

For Hamilton to not win the championship this Sunday, Bottas needs to finish first with the fastest lap, or Lewis finishing worse than 2nd (or combinations and permutations of placings that preserve a 78 point (or less) gap between the two drivers.

Want to place your bets now, gentlemen? LOL

Yepper, hope the race tomorrow is dry. If not it will be a crazy one.

I was bummed to see Charlie going from a great P1 and P2 to not making it into Q3. Hopefully dry track tomorrow with just enough drama to make the race interesting.

Hat tip to Alfa Romeo. If Max is going to be behind anybody on poll, I’m sure he hates for it to be Stroll.

Max is quite upset to have been denied pole. Some by his own doing and the teams. He will make ends meet on the start. This will be crazy maybe LOL

Was a MB weakness exposed? Big questions TotoW must answer. It got so bad the Alfas made it through with Giovannazzi in the top 10 mix lol.
