Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted August 1, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 1, 2021 Brilliant from Lewis and Mercedes there

Bottas bottling again, and crashing into Norris, who then crashed into Verstappen, and also taking Perez out, with Stroll then crashing into Leclerc. Red flag, race restarted with Hamilton on intermediates and the rest of the field on slicks. Hamilton had to pit to change the tyres next lap and dropped down to the back of the grid, but then Mercedes pulled out a successful undercut with their next pit stop and now they are moving up to win the race or at least get on the podium.

Give me Vettel and Ocon for the podium. This is great
Administrator Stan Posted August 1, 2021 Administrator Posted August 1, 2021 What an eventful race this has been. Entertaining once again. Overall this season has pretty much delivered so far. Most of the races have been pretty decent with a few boring ones thrown in. Really hope Ocon holds out but I think we'll see Hamilton work his way to the top. What a moment it'd be if Ocon won. Totally unexpected if so but would be savoured so much, like when Gasly won in France last season.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 1, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 1, 2021 Alonso winning the race for Alpine with this defence.
Administrator Stan Posted August 1, 2021 Administrator Posted August 1, 2021 Alonso . Love that defence.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted August 1, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 1, 2021 Alonso brilliant defending. Nice little battle between the best 2 drivers in F1.
Eco Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 I never saw Younger Alonso, but this makes me have massive respect for him. What defense this is.
Administrator Stan Posted August 1, 2021 Administrator Posted August 1, 2021 This is a superb battle and racing from Alonso and Hamilton. Not sure what Lewis is moaning about there.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 1, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 1, 2021 Best battle we've seen in years this.

El Profesor Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Loved that battle between Alonso and Hamilton. Two legends of the sport.
Storts Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Max owes Alonso massively for stopping Lewis winning that race
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 1, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 1, 2021 So annoyed. Had Ocon, Vettel, Sainz in the predictions .

Moderator Tommy Posted August 1, 2021 Moderator Posted August 1, 2021 Even though I'm a Seb fan, it's absolutely amazing to see Ocon winning the race. Just like Gasly last year. Fernando with an incredible drive to defend against Lewis like that. He played a big big part in Ocon's win today.
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted August 1, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 1, 2021 What a race. Ocon handled that brilliantly leading for that amount of time. Lewis getting a podium from last comes as no shock to anyone which says something in itself. Only he could have done that. Alonso rolling back the years and stopping Lewis from winning the race, at 40 years of age.
