Formula One 2021 - DRAMA - #Michael Messy

[ryodi]

If they’re going to screw around with Sprint qualifying they really should make Monza one shot qualifying to avoid the traffic jams.

Ok so this is qualifying for the sprint race, how do we decide the grid order for the race? Is it the outcome of the sprint race?

Yes.

[Blue]

It seems sprints will still be around at a selection of tracks next year but they won't decide grid order for the race, but rather be standalone events, which is even more odd than the present system.

For fucks sake will you cunts learn like ever or are we just going to have to kill someone?

Bloody hell , just looking at the replays there - near parking lot

[Dudley]

Remember a few years ago when Massa(?) was winding up for a flying lap near parabolica and they penalised him because a car on a flying lap got within 3 seconds?

 

Good times.

[Blue]

RB nowhere, might be a good weekend to take that engine penalty.

[Dudley]

It's not even a straight Honda thing either given where Gasly is.

 

Which leaves "Weird aerodynamic issue" or "Sandbagging".

[Dudley]

Fuck sake.  So now we crashing into people in the pitlane and trying to wipe out mechanics.

 

Watch the FIA wring their hands again and say "Yes but what can WE do" until someone gets seriously hurt, at which point they'll pretend to care for 2 weeks again and then forget it all ever happened.

[carred]

Could some of those not be classed as unsafe releases or is that just a race rule?

All of them and yes it's a rule but then there's also rules against everything else that Sky are pretending don't exist for some reason.

Ding ding ding!

[Dudley]

"This isn't the first year we've seen this"

 

It's not the first time in SEPTEMBER 2021 we've seen this you chucklefuck.

[Dudley]

I mean yes I'm making a big thing of this but it's rule absolute 0.

 

"You. Do. Not. Fuck. With. A. Live. Race. Track. That. Is. How. People. Die."

 

And you've got Sky wringing their hands like nothing can be done, the FIA presumably off having a coffee somewhere and people pretending that rules that even people in this thread are quoting apparently don't exist.

[layten]

Bottas going full Bottas and Red Bull slower than Lewis despite getting a double tow. You have to wonder why they decided to put George in the other car.

I'll take a bit of salt and pepper with my hat thanks.

[ryodi]

Hamilton not great in Q3 and I assume Bottas will let him win if they’re one two in the Sprint.

[Blue]

Nice grid for the sprint.

[layten]

That brand new engine turned all the way up to 'go faster than Max'.

[wev]

Am I right in thinking that Ch4 have no agreement in place to show Friday qualifying on a Friday and will (I presume) show it as part of their qualifying show on Saturday?

[layten]

It should be a slam dunk for Mercedes, given they set their times without any kind of a tow. I expect a full clown shoes strategy call at some point.

[Dudley]

Max standing there patiently as the interviewer doesn't ask 3 separate questions without stopping talking

[Dudley]

Felipe slower at asking questions than he was in a Ferrari.

[layten]

Massa, the difference a single point can make.  

[Dudley]

It's a shame he has the comic timing of a bin because that would have landed a lot better.

[layten]

Bottas: Get the maximum points tomorrow.

"Valtteri this is James"

That'll be 2 then.

[Dudley]

I've just realised what Massa interviewing reminds me of.

 

He's literally Ron Manager.

 

"2008.... isn't it..... hmm..... Toyotas for goalposts....."

[Dudley]

I don't know why people say Sky are biased to British drivers.  There's a Sky Max channel, but is there a Sky Lewis?  Take that haters!

[fragglerock]

bloody forgot it was qualy today... even though I posted the times up thread somewhere!

I wish you could watch the Dutch F1 covering. They treat him like he's the second coming of Christ.
