Something new I learned today regarding F1 (Article from BBC discussing Mercedes and Red Bull).
_“Trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin added: "The wind made it tricky. When the wind is behind the car, you lose a lot of downforce because effectively the air speed is reduced.
"So, some corners where the wind was behind, it was prone to doing that, and then also the tyres are quite easy to overheat on that circuit and if you start sliding, you tend to lose grip and it gets worse. So, there are a few problems.”_

That was truly epic. Great start to 2021. Lando and Leclerc look gold for the future and Hamilton was immense.
-
Epic indeed! Incredible stuff from Lewis at the end. That Honda engine looks to be a beast - if it proves to be reliable we’re in for an incredible season. Looks like there’s going to be a good battle in the midfield between Ferrari, McLaren and Alpha Tauri too! Hate that we have to wait three weeks for the next race…
-
@Jcourt agree 100% on the midfield battle that will be amazing. Norris v Ricciardo first lap was fantastic yesterday too
-
Incredible stuff from Lewis at the end.
Runs turns 4 wide 29 times in a row, nothing happens. Verstappen runs wide once, gets told to give place back. Incredible stuff indeed. Not to mention Verstappen was ahead going into that corner.
on another note, Yuki Tsunoda looks a decent driver. First race and already into the points.

Ha - it was definitely odd how they were enforcing track limits on that turn in particular, but I agreed with the stewards in that instance…you can't have all four wheels totally off track while passing. The fact that Hamilton was able to defend as well as he did on those tires was pretty impressive. As Seb once said "if you're a woman getting a massage like [Hamilton] treats his tires, it's just pure magic."
Tsunoda looked great all weekend - will be fun to see him compete in the midfield!
-
That's because Horner tried to call Mercedes out and it back-fired
hahaha. this is also true.
-
Wow. Race 2 at Imola was amazing! If the rest off the season is this close it will be classic year.
Lando was as superb as Bottas/Perez were terrible. Lewis and Max are a class apart.
More rain please
-
starting to feel like Leclerc crashed on purpose to stop max from getting pole in Monaco.
-
Leclerc's a decent driver. shame he couldn't start today. was watching the news updates of his car and nothing wrong with it and boom, right before the start..
-
Leclerc on pole due to another red flag. I'm starting to see a trend now
-
And Quartararo on pole too without red flags to help him! I’m ready to place a bet on the 2021 motogp champion!!
It’s been ages since motogp had a french champ…about time!
-
insane race. last 2 laps were unexpected. sad for Charles but nice to see a refreshed podium. absolutely over the moon to see Vettel back on the podium!!
Hamilton sliding off the track reminds me of sol Campbell's never ending slide tackle against Croatia
