Moderator Tommy 12,616 Posted February 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2021 So did you hear about the Mika Salo leaked news? Apparently Ferrari had to turn their engine down last season as a punishment for cheating in 2019. https://www.planetf1.com/news/ferrari-punished-cheating-scandal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the old F1 seasons watching streak (as you well know, haha), and didn't realise how similar to Carlos Reutemann he (Bottas) appears to be. Could be very good "on his day", but more often than not frustratingly indecisive, sloppy, and somewhat mentally fragile. This Nigel Roebuck quote describing Reutemann sounds eerily similar to Bottas too: "Through the days before the race Carlos was relaxed, full of good humour. On the Sunday, when it mattered, he faded to nothing. As I watched that afternoon, I was embarrassed for him. Afterwards he mumbled about understeer on right-handers, and gearchange problems, but in all truth he drove like a man who had suddenly decided he did not want the World Championship." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I have HUGE respect for Nico Rosberg. He was surely less talented than Lewis. But in that 2016 season, he just threw everything at it. He even stopped cycling so he wouldn't gain additional muscle weight. He put EVERYTHING into winning that title, physically and mentally. That's why, in hindsight, I respect his decision to retire. First of all, he knew he probably can't repeat that, and secondly it must have taken a huge toll on his family/private life, because he was so dedicated in that year. Unless Bottas does something similar, which he won't, he will never beat Lewis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey 1,192 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Excited about the new season, hoping Hamilton wins but following a challenge rather than a canter this year. Red Bull have always been fast with laughable reliability, and fighting with just one driver after the bants of Albon. I think that they could be a major challenge if they've sorted their issues out, especially as they now have both Max and Perez who can challenge. McLaren look to be back, flirted with podiums and now have a new diffuser and Mercedes engine under the hood, I expect them to be the 3rd best on the grid but without flirting with podiums, they challenge for wins. Ricciardo and Norris are two drivers that I think are genuinely capable of fighting at the front, so whereas they won't challenge for the WC will give Mercedes and the Bulls something to think about. Ferrari I think will be poor again, just because I think they're still a circus behind the scenes but because of the above I think this season could be exciting. Hamilton to seal it on the last race would be the dream scenario, with the Red Bulls in the fight right to the end as opposed to just Bottas limping alongside. I wonder how the end of the season will pan out with the contract situations too, bit of an added layer when you consider Hamilton could be fighting for the title with no guarantees about his seat (again). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted March 14, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 14, 2021 I really hope this is the season where Max wins his first title. Would love it to be a close battle until the very last race, really miss the excitement of that. Other than that, midfield looks even better and potentially more competitive than it was last season, so hope for some juicy battles there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 5,103 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I've always assumed that F1 attracted the Euro equivalent of the American types that watch NASCAR. After interacting with Tommy, all doubt has been removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
