Also quite a few blind corners, nice. Interesting to see how F1 cars manage it. I don't expect much overtaking, it's already hard enough in sportscar, but it's an exciting track nevertheless...

He was also supposed to testify in a huge corruption case on Monday, the assassination might be related to that too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very dangerous move IMO. Great race from Pierre once again! Charles very impressive too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there were some decent fights for place 5-8 and a few backmarker fights. If you take away the top 3, it would have been a good race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nudge 9,027 Posted October 25, 2020 Enjoyed the start and the midfield battles afterwards, definitely not the worst race ever. No excitement in the top 3, as usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandoEFC 4,895 Posted October 25, 2020 There was some decent racing but it feels so low stakes. I'm looking forward to the conclusion to the battle for 3rd in the Constructors but aside from that it feels like they should just end the season now and bring the rule change back forward to next year. Sink or swim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy 5,582 Posted October 25, 2020 https://streamable.com/o2513i Kimi's first lap looks like he forgot to change the difficulty setting from easy to medium. Even Max said he was shocked to suddenly see Kimi behind him. I was really bewildered to see Kimi at P6 at some point during the first lap. And what did Kimi say? "I didn't have a good start, but at one point I was wondering what the others are doing." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
