Eco 3,008 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 This sport sometimes can be rather boring. If we didn't have Max, it'd be absolutely snore fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUFC 1,501 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Bottas has tyres which are 10 laps fresher. If he doesn't pass Max he needs shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted July 12, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted July 12, 2020 This has been incredibly boring. One of those races where DRS is ruining the wheel to wheel action. There are loads of battles but no tension because DRS makes the overtakes easy and bland. Albon is looking really Gasly-esque this weekend. I wonder if that Red Bull is really, really complicated to drive. There's no doubt it's a car built to suit Max and often the fastest drivers can have quite a unique driving style. Maybe it's going to be really hard to find a second driver who can get near as much out of it as he does. There's plenty of time for Albon to improve but when a driver is more than half a second a lap off the pace in their car, they don't usually make that up. McLaren's pace has been disappointing today. Perez might be able to get Albon for 4th which would be a blow for Red Bull. Remains to be seen whether Bottas can get P2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted July 12, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted July 12, 2020 Norris loves the last laps. McLaren fastest lap at every race so far this season . The front was the height of tedium. There's going to be a good scrap for the rest of the year though between McLaren, Ferrari, Renault and Racing Point. Below them, Alpha Tauri, Alfa Romeo and Haas are definitely in a separate tier just ahead of Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,380 Posted July 12, 2020 Administrator Share Posted July 12, 2020 Not bad for me in terms of predictions. Hamilton first. Bottas and Verstappen a position out. Norris finishing in points. Racing Point performing well too. After 3 early retirements I was hoping for at least one more! Anyone have Sainz as fastest lap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
