2021 Formula One Season: Championship Decider Abu Dhabi - Verstappen Wins in a Controversial Race! 🏆 🍾

[hey shorty]

No Zhou got a seat because he’s from China and F1 are desperate to break into that market, nothing to do with talent it’s all politics and cash.

He's got cash no doubt, but he's a good driver.

He's been well managed, setting a path that Doohan could follow.

Jack has looked pretty solid in his 2 weekends in F2.

Very good in qualifying

Hamilton blocking Mazepin again this time coming out of the pits. Watch no penalty of course after being warned last week.

He is quick, though entre to China is a commercial advantage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanyu_Zhou

Alpine made their call early in the year when Zhou was on fire.

Common misconception fed by the media to create some interest in the F2 title battle, Piastri has beaten Zhou at every round except for round 1 Bahrain and only really held the lead because of piastri collecting tictum in that feature race which kept Zhou close until round 4.

He is 3-5 tenths slower then Piastri without doubt

Jack's problem is his racecraft, gets poor starts and doesn't get through traffic to show his pace

He's fine, he'll get there.

I'll preface this by saying I don't watch a lot of F2 (mainly just the highlights) but my main problem with Zhou from what I have seen is that he seems to be too aggressive and take too many risks. They work in the slower F2 car but I think he will have a lot of problems pulling them off in an F1 car- particularly where positions tend to be defended more aggressively. It is where the more patient and calculated Piastri is more suited to F1 for me.

Looks like Lewis had his eyebrows groomed again

Pretty similar to Tsunoda, both gifted their spot due to their nationality both not quite at the peak of the talent list and both with a similarly bad understanding of risk vs reward.

You can't teach speed, you can learn race craft.

Tsunoda is quicker than Zhou was, Zhou is smarter.

Come on Mick, even Mazepin wouldn't do that

I hadn't realised how close Sainz has been to Leclerc this season. A credit to Sainz, a mark against Leclerc or a bit of both?

 

[gaskin]

**** that was tight at the end there. I wonder what happened in the first sector since all the end runners had yellow 1st sectors.

It might’ve been that yellow flag just before they started their laps

True, but I thought it had gone green by then.

It was all the cars parked waiting for their laps and had gone green

 

[Bradesmaen]

Yuki flying but deleted. Perez not quick enough

 

[darth_timon]

Norris 3rd. Sainz bumps Bottas down to 6th.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Perez slower than Norris. Jeez they really need a better driver in that second car

 

[gaskin]

Did Danny Ric not put in a lap at the end?

 

[DeanoT]

Bottas is ass. Lewis in trouble now.
