Administrator Stan Posted July 5, 2021 Administrator Posted July 5, 2021 Really not a fan of this F1 sprint thing. I find it a bit pointless. I don't think there was anything particularly wrong with the normal current qualifying format. If it ain't broke....etc...
nudge Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Stupid format. At least they aren't doing reverse grids. They aren't, right???
Whiskey Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Hope the Sprint race is a colossal failure, qualifying is brilliant as it is - leave it alone.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 5, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 5, 2021 This format will flop in my opinion. Just be grateful they've not gone full stupid and trialled it for an entire season instead of just a few races.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 5, 2021 Author Moderator Posted July 5, 2021 What worries me from a safety point of view is that the start is always the most dangerous part, with all the cars so close together, going through corners side by side etc. And now they'll do it twice. Not good for my heart rate, that's for sure.
Eco Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Silly format, and odd to be performed at such an iconic setting like Silverstone. They should give this a 'whirl' at Jeddah or some other track, but don't mess with the classics. It'll be interesting how Hamilton does here, seeing as how he has completely dominated this track. I'd be over the moon is Lando was able to pull out the win though. Unlikely, yes, but damn that would be just incredible to watch.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 16, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 16, 2021 Took a punt in predictions on Hamilton pulling something out in the sprint qualifying and starting Sunday on pole but looks like Verstappen is in a good position for the race. Given Mercedes setup problems at other races it feels like Friday qualifying isn't going to play into their hands much.

Given Mercedes setup problems at other races it feels like Friday qualifying isn't going to play into their hands much. I actually can't join the league this year as it says in my profile that I have joined, but each week I have been getting 0 points despite picking a team and doing all the predictions. Frustrating really but oh well. Regardless, if these recent updates for Mercedes don't pan out and bridge the gap, then Hamilton and Mercedes will both be falling from the top spot come year's end.
Eco Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Haha - Max go top despite a couple of slips and almost losing his rear.
Eco Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Great lap from Ocon...looks like he'll get out of Q1 for the first time in over a month.
