I’d like to see a new team enter, for a 22 car grid. Then adjust the points so top 12 get points.

AM is falling apart. I think Stroll is going to unload it as soon as he can. Which means there is a good chance the younger Stroll literally has to take a walk.

They're done for sure. And I will not miss either of the Strolls once they're pushed out. Would suck to see the Aston Martin name leave the sport, but if Audi or Porsche, or even Andretti swoop in to take over, I wouldn't be mad about that at all.

Look how small this car is

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Need those size cars back, but probably would have to sacrifice safety to do so.

They don’t have to be quite that small, but I don’t think they need to be as long as a Tahoe to be safe

I’d love for Audi to take over. AM seems to make sense now that mclaren is out of the question.

Spain this weekend...

Barcelona-Catalunya

Carry on.

 

[IDAFC21]

Olé!!!!

 

[IDAFC21]

Watched FP1 earlier, and then ran out to pick up a delicious taco bell feast which ive consumed while currently watching FP2

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

FP1 watched, just started 2.

So, the commentators mentioned a few times that this was Saint’s home race. Um, hello? What about Alonso?

I hope Bottas and Latifi were on different strategies than their stablemates, cause being outpaced by a backup driver and an F2 driver, respectively, is not good.

 

[IDAFC21]

I know they mentioned a couple times that Sainz could be the first Spanish driver on the podium thats not Alonso Dont remember if that was in Fp1 or Fp2 tho

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Also, the Mercs seem to be sitting really low. When they go around a curve the barge boards are damn near scraping the surface.

The look reminds me of a manta ray sitting on the sand at the bottom of the ocean.

Sad that Williams’s last win was Crashtornado 10 years ago.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Good racing

 

[Stink Star]

This has been pretty good so far

 

[GLADIATOR]

My guy Perez with a podium, Checo!

 

[Blood on Blood]

Perez’s shoes are fire

He makes for a good teammate

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Tough break for Charles. Not sure I liked red bull making checo give up the position.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

I thought that was a great race. Tons of action. But yeah, feel bad for Perez. Tough they’re already prioritizing Max.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I have zero empathy for making Perez give up a position. Make him learn his lesson for not doing that when he was at Force India/Racing Point.

Frankly I barely paid attention to the race. Heart and mind just not into it tonight.

 

[IDAFC21]

Completely forgot I had this thread on ignore while I was watching the race this weekend

Monaco this weekend!! Parade time!

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

I need to rewatch the last race. I was dealing with work drama last Sunday that had me distracted.

Monoco is mostly a parade but it is always fun to watch and brings its own drama.

You didn’t miss a whole lot ?

 

[IDAFC21]

It was a pretty decent race. Probably a lot more action las weekend then we'll have this weekend. Unless you get excited by red flags and safety cars and cars following each other in a single line for 60+ laps

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

They should do a surprise reverse grid. Pole sitter starts last. 20th starts on pole.

 

[IDAFC21]

oh god, only way that would work is if they announced it AFTER quali otherwise it really would be a parade with everyone trying to go as slow as possible.


At least Aston would be able to get some real good looks at the red bull traveling slowly
