So, DRS, makes pass, go through two corners, then get DRS again and no one is in front of you?

I hate DRS.

 

[IDAFC21]

I mean theres 4 fucking DRS zones on this short ass track. Why not just make the whole thing DRS!!

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Or, hear me out, get rid of DRS?

Andreas wants to get rid of Bottas for underperforming. Me thinks he needs to work with the pit crew first.

At this point I don't think i'd miss it. It was a solution brought in for cars that couldnt pass each other, but these cars now are so much different than those cars were then, why keep it around

Looks like a loose wheel nut coming off of one of Bottas’s wheels, when he was in the pit. You can see it skittering across pit lane towards the wall.

Sergeant to Albon, “not only did you destroy your car costing me a race, you got passed by not one, but BOTH Haas cars.

“Lost a couple of kilos having the appendix out.”

what?

Appendix weighs on AVERAGE 6.5 grams.

1 kilo = 2.2 lbs
6.5 grams = 0.014 lbs

Even if he lost a pound or two on a limited diet during the week, a couple of kilos would be 5-6 lbs.

HOLY FUCKING HELL

Well I did not have that on my bingo card

Has to be a red flag. That’s imminent danger on track.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Congrats to Sainz!

Hulk got a point!

Alboner and Perez shit the bed.

While the Russell crash wasn't really as bad as it appeared.....w/ the way his car wound up on the track, and the amount of dust that was kicked into the air......if anyone else would have been closely racing behind him......... I don't think an F1 car has ever taken a broadside hit directly on the FLOOR before. Least not any modern one

Even being the last lap, it should have been red flagged. That was flat out dangerous, even if the track marshals were indicating a problem in the corner. No one would have lost a place.

 

[IDAFC21]

Also, I TOLD YOU Sainz has a distinct advantage now

100% agree on that one

Guenther Steiner FTW!!!!!

Why, last lap and all the cars would have had to go around Russell anyway to get to pits.

They just add ballast to the car. But imagine if this happened at Monza? The Tifosi would have mobbed the place (not in anger).

Immediate danger on track, all drivers then know there is imminent danger. VSC just means that they need to take caution, but it could be off the track/racing line. And they're just reducing speed, but maintaining pace to neutralize positions.
