for those wondering about newbies, last F2 season

Mick Schumacher was the champion, Tsunoda was 3rd place, Mazepin ended 5th place

I read somewhere that Hamilton has been pleading for the team to keep Bottas rather than take on Russell :)

Yeah I think I’d rather keep a guy who will never be any kind of threat rather than sign a young , hungry supremely talented youngster

Krap !



Russell’s three-year ‘loan’ with Williams is up at the end of 2021, and Roberts doesn’t imagine they will be able to keep hold of him permanently.

Instead, the team hope one day they can look back on their time with Russell and say they worked with one of Formula 1’s “greats”.

“That feels like a long, long way away but who knows,” Roberts told GPFans Global when asked if Williams were resigned to losing Russell at the end of his deal.

“We’ve got to assume that this [being with Williams] is part of his career, that it is not going to be his whole career.

Lewis Hamilton doesn’t want George Russell to be his partner at Mercedes, according to former F1 driver Arturo Merzario. The Brit is yet to sign a new contract with the Silver Arrows. However, both parties have dropped hints over the last 24 hours suggesting an agreement is getting closer.

hope we get other teams doing well

McLaren i would like to be back up at the top, got a feeling Ricciardo and Norris is gonna be a fun duo as well


Vettel/Stroll could also be a good duo


and of course interested by Haas with their two new huge talent signings (the schumacher hype of course)

new japanese driver, im always hoping for a new takuma sato to rise up, hope he got a good car either, but AlphaTauri cars recently have been decent

No Verstappen now has the "best" car and he is automatically winning instead (minus today's race) all of the best Drivers have won in great Cars, plus teams like Mercedes and Red Bull aren't gonna have average or **** drivers race in their cars because it'd be brand damage.

Imo Hamilton and Verstappen are strong drivers.

Hamilton is a fantastic driver, Bottas has the same car as him remember but he can't even compete with him

[Zizu]

I’m gutted for Max ... may not be fit to drive in a fortnight :(

51 G force impact on his leg doesn’t sound great .


Also annoyed how we were robbed off possibly one of the greatest F1 races ever because of Hamilton’s recklessness .

That was easily one of the best opening laps I’ve seen in years .

Can’t believe Hamilton has got away with quite literally shunting his main opponent off the track into the wall at 200mph.

disgusting cheater Hamilton, you can't win playing fair, so you have to push your competition off the track :notimpressed:


and the stupid corrupt FIA also just defends him




waiting for the day Hamilton is no longer part of Formula 1 season





for me personally not the best british driver at all


for me i very much like Lando Norris, again a very decent 4th place result, and both McLaren (4th and 5th) 22 points addition for the team standings, and Lando into 3rd position in championship standings now



Mick Schumacher kinda disappointing but not too much, since Haas hasn't got good cars (yet)


Williams again avoiding the last places :clap1:



another top 10 for Alonso :love:



so despite smug crybaby Hamilton, i do enjoy watching F1 again compared to other recent years

[Nicky91]

Max Verstappen hit out at Lewis Hamilton for ‘unsportsmanlike behaviour’ after the seven-times world champion celebrated winning a tempestuous British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Verstappen’s race ended on the first lap when Hamilton’s Mercedes made contact with his rear wheel as the British driver tried to force his way through at Copse corner.

Verstappen walked away from the incident but watched the later stages of the race from hospital in Coventry as he was checked over following the collision.

The Dutchman was in no mood for reconciliation after he watched Hamilton snatch victory from Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari with two laps to go, overcoming a 10-second penalty imposed for causing the first-lap crash.

‘Watching the celebrations while still in hospital is disrespectful and unsportsmanlike behaviour but we move on,’ said Verstappen, who also complained that Hamilton’s penalty was insufficient.

https://twitter.com/Max33Verstappen/status/1416816722200469508

Christian Horner, Red Bull’s team manager, was scathing in his assessment of Hamilton, accusing him of a ‘desperate’ move and ‘dirty driving’.

‘Lewis has stuck a wheel up the inside of one of the fastest corners on this world championship. He’s driven this circuit for years; you know you don’t do that here,’ he told Formula1.com.

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.it-was-a-desperate-move-furious-horner-hits-out-at-hamilton-after-verstappen.70vvrMmYUhNPfjSVc4xDbi.html

‘The result – thank God we haven’t had a driver that’s been seriously injured or worse today.’

Hamilton described his rival as an ‘incredible competitor’ as he paid tribute to his team later on Twitter.

[ChristmasNeeve]

Boo Hoo

[Nicky91]

no, more pathetic that Hamilton can only win when cheating with dirty moves like that


also i fully understand Bottas either for not renewing contract at Mercedes, since everytime he's told to move out of the way for Hamilton, i mean why, why do they need to feed that loser's ego so much


Bottas at Alfa Romeo as replacement for Kimi would be nice, hope Alfa Romeo also can somehow improve to a better car, they do deserve that

I'm sorry but Verstappen's a hypocrite imo.

It's okay for him to take drivers off the track, but as soon as he gets a taste of his own medicine he whines the place down along with Red Bull.

Imo Verstappen is a sore loser and unsportsmanlike, and he lost to George Russell who's in a Williams Car, that's a poor performance no matter the circumstances imo.

In fairness though Bottas or Mercedes (whoever's at fault) shouldn't be having a Car (or using the Car if it's Bottas's fault) that's taking multiple drivers off the track as it is really irresponsible.

You can’t compare Max to George Russell today !

You do realise that Verstappen’s car was beggared after he got broadsided !?!

They fixed it up as best as they could in 20 minutes but it was still a mess . They said afterwards that it would be a least a second a lap slower than any other car ..

Davina Michelle will perform the dutch national anthem at Zandvoort race on September 5th

but will only perform there if the acts will get paid

https://netherlandsnewslive.com/davina-michelle-only-sings-at-f1-zandvoort-if-other-acts-get-money-show/226526/

https://images0.persgroep.net/rcs/Sm4bMF5IL4tN8_FYATV4me558Qc/diocontent/202547511/_focus/0.53/0.42/_fill/1200/630/?appId=21791a8992982cd8da851550a453bd7f&quality=0.7

Davina Michelle will sing the national anthem at the opening of the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday 5 September, on condition that other artists performing that weekend will be paid. Her spokesperson said today.

The Dutch Grand Prix is ​​under fire because Prince Bernhard, co-owner of the circuit, had asked artists to perform for free tickets. Chef’special singer Joshua Nolet brought the matter up in a social media video. ,,Ouch. Just ouch. Come on, what the ****,” he ended the video when clearly irritated. Nolet’s outburst of anger was mainly a sum, the Haarlem singer said 24 hours later. “About how we as a society want to deal with our industry and everyone who works in that industry. And it was mainly aimed at political The Hague, where people have remained incredibly quiet after our actions last Saturday.”

In addition to Chef’special, the Dutch Grand Prix had approached more artists to perform for free during Formula 1. It is not about big performances, but about intermission acts on the track to hold the attention of the public between the race numbers. . “We would like to offer our cardholders some form of entertainment,” said a spokesperson for the Dutch Grand Prix. There are artists who have said yes to this, although the Dutch Grand Prix does not want to say who it is about.

A spokesperson for Davina Michelle herself announced that the singer will not be paid for her performance, as she has agreed with the Dutch Grand Prix.

Many music organizations said in a response to the news that it sends a very wrong signal if artists perform for free, especially at an event with a budget like Formula 1 in Zandvoort. The Dutch Grand Prix ‘understands that the request to act against expenses has gone wrong. We thought we had approached people who are racing fans.”

Davina Michelle did get paid for the release of the official song of the Grand Prix: beat me. The single was released last year, but then the Formula 1 race was canceled due to the corona measures.

But the race has also attracted plenty of criticism. Environmental campaigners argue it flies in the face of the Netherlands’ obligations to reduce pollution, while neighbouring communities are fed up with the engine noise from the circuit and traffic congestion.
The events industry is incensed that Zandvoort is able to put on a three-day extravaganza while much smaller music festivals have been cancelled under coronavirus restrictions.

And the sight of hordes of fans at the circuit – despite the government classifying the Grand Prix as a ‘placed event’ where spectators are supposed to stay in their seats – has angered critics of the Dutch pandemic response.

The first free practice session on Friday was accompanied by a protest by 20 farmers who are pressing supermarket chain Jumbo, one of the race’s main sponsors, to pay fairer prices.

Court battles

More concerted opposition has come from environmental groups such as Mobilisation for the Environment, (MOB) who claimed it would generate excessive levels of pollution. The group failed this week to obtain an injunction to stop the race, but has vowed to continue its legal challenge to the race, which is on the calendar until 2023.


Coronavirus rules

The most vocal criticism has come from events organisers, who had to cancel almost the entire programme of summer music festivals after the government imposed strict limits of 750 tickets and no overnight camping.

‘This casts a very unsettling light on the 18 months of lockdown,’ Hans Paul Nieskens, one of the organisers of ParkCity Live in Heerlen, told 1Limburg. ‘It’s incredible that this can go ahead. It gives me a sick feeling in my stomach.’

The circuit’s co-owner Prince Bernhard, a cousin of King Willem-Alexander, said this week that ‘only a small group of people’ were against the race taking place.

‘I think a lot of people are in favour of it and there are some people who, with good reason, are against it,’ he said. ‘Of course they’ll get a platform.’

The only competition more rigged than this is BBUS23 with it's Racist Alliance being blatantly aided by production.

To me I don't get why anyone would dislike a F1 driver so badly that they'd support the most blatant cheating in a Sport since The Hand Of God in Football.

Verstappen could literally win his first F1 Championship thanks to a two lap race in Belgium, people should be more bothered about this, the integrity of the Sport is at stake here.

I'm not moaning because it harmed a British driver's standing in the table, I'm moaning about it because one driver is better than the other, but thanks to a two lap race the better driver has been sent down into second place.

Imo if Verstappen was genuinely doing better than Hamilton I would have no complaints (I don't begrudge people winning things normally) but at the moment the weaker driver is winning the Championship.

Imo the best driver should win F1, sadly not everyone at the FIA clearly agrees with that.

Well given Hamilton has won 7 world championships due to having the fastest car I don’t think he has any reason to complain..

I recall Hamilton spinning off early in a race and was last but was still able to work his way all the way through to finish SECOND !!

That’s utter Bollox and why I rarely watch F1 .

That’s why I much prefer the more competitive MogoGP and Speedway .

Yet Verstappen is the one tagged as the most "dangerous" driver, funny that.

Plus are you seriously saying that two people racing and a freak accident occurring from that is worse than the FIA awarding Verstappen maximum points for a two lap race which has put him top of the Championship? When there were two more logical solutions that they could've taken but bizarrely didn't too.

I get that you like Verstappen and don't like Hamilton, but surely you have to admit that the latter is far worse for the Sport, at least with the freak accident it was two drivers trying to win.

Hamilton pulled right out in front of Max going into the corner ... it’s narrow there anyways .

I thought Max showed great restraint as climbed out of his car .. I was hoping to see him lean into Hamilton’s cockpit and scream obscenities at him :)

Hamilton was ahead, yes Verstappen has the right to try and overtake him, but he certainly doesn't have the right to plonk his Car on top of Hamilton's.

The guy is a petulant child, if I was Hamilton I would've decked him one for doing what he did today and take whatever punishment came my way for doing that.

But seriously someone genuinely needs to tell Verstappen to calm the **** down during these races, he is coming across extremely unpleasant to anyone that doesn't see Hamilton as the Devil.

Tbh I've never seen any driver try to overtake on that corner before today because of how narrow the path is.

Plus it doesn't matter what Hamilton was doing, Verstappen's the one that plonked his Car on Hamilton's Car, and then didn't even check to see if he was okay.

Imo no matter what way you look at it Verstappen's coming across as a psychopath.

He wasn’t really ahead .. given that Hamilton was just coming out of the out lane and going about 100mph whilst Max was screaming down the straight at over 200mph .. that’s why they met on the corner .

The photos clearly show how Hamilton went into Max’s path even though he was going so much slower .

As I've already said everything else kind of goes out of the window when Verstappen recklessly drives into him (which he basically admitted to on the Radio to his team after the incident) and then doesn't even check to see if Hamilton's okay after a Car has just narrowly missed taking his head off.

Look I get that Verstappen wasn't intending for the incident to go exactly the way it went, but he should be making sure that Hamilton (or any driver for that matter) are okay when they're on the receiving end of an incident like that.

Verstappen is lacking empathy and Sportsmanship imo.

The Pundits are rooting for Verstappen to win so they're not exactly impartial imo.

And I honestly think what didn't help Verstappen's case was when the accident happens he says "this is what happens when you don't give me space" and then he walks off not even checking to see if Hamilton was okay, he made himself come across like a douche who had planned to get "revenge" on Hamilton from the events that happened a few races ago.

To me if it was the other way around I feel like those Pundits would be agreeing with me as well, but there does appear to be an agenda from the Media this season to try and protect Verstappen from being questioned about his bad attitude.

[Nicky91]

well i myself keep rooting for Lando to win a race at some point, he really deserves to either


and i love how Lando has said he really wants to compete against Verstappen



McLaren now with this mercedes engine have become a strong team again, maybe the 3rd strongest on the grid, behind Mercedes, Red Bull (although nice how they defended this fab in Italy and hold back the Mercedes drivers, first Hamilton in sprint race, and next Bottas in main race)

Even trying to excuse his atrocious attitude during this incident, the Pundits are definitely biased towards Verstappen this season, probably because the Sport in general is desperate for a different Champion that they'll root for a petulant brat.

You say that Hamilton behaves like a crybaby when he doesn't win, but the only driver I've seen holding grudges for not winning a race has been Verstappen.

And if Hamilton wasn't a great driver then the great teams wouldn't want him, just like when Schumacher won most of his stuff with Ferrari.

Also thankfully justice seems to be done today.

And Hamilton is beating Verstappen by two points despite Verstappen being handed the Belgian Grand Prix.

And Verstappen has a very good Car so that can't be used as an excuse.

god save the queen now :idc:


should've been for Lando, not Lewis :idc:



i applaud Lando taking risks all the time, i do not blame him for this decision, since there were only few laps left

[Nicky91]

ugh still i hate Lewis but 100 GP wins is amazing


next year though my advice for Lewis would be, tone down own ambitions and try mentoring his new teammate Russell since he also has loads of potential to do well



i feel like this sort of loss will only make Lando stronger, and even more ambitious to push it to the final lap even further to win, i kinda hope he will grow to same level as Lewis, Max since i know and i believe he has it in him

so for qualifying they gave no effort since they knew they would be put back in last row

You're still not supposed to be touching an opponent's car though.

Thankfully the actual best Driver did win this race though instead of rigging it for Verstappen because it's "good for the Sport" like Jackie Stewart said, and it's clearly what the FIA are thinking for their two lap underdog.

In fairness Verstappen has had the best car in the entire season and he is struggling for dear life to win the season against Hamilton.

Love or hate Hamilton he is the best driver out of this generation, and it's really showcasing itself this season.

He is the best driver.

If he had Verstappen's car the title race would already be over.

And on the cheating front I think that most Sportstars cheat, I mean in this very season of F1 we had Verstappen land a car on top of Hamilton's head just because Hamilton was ahead of him.

And don't even get me started on the cheating in Sports like Football or Horse Racing.

I read somewhere that all the top 20 drivers are of equal ability..

It’s just the car and the mindset that makes the difference


It’s like Tennis where the top 100 are supposedly all of the same ability but it’s the will to win and the ability to chow with the ups and downs of a tennis match

more impressive is Alonso getting to podium in a Alpine, in a weaker car like Alpine can you imagine, he still is that good

[Zizu]

What happened with qualification ?

One minute the Red Bull boss was saying that they were very happy with second place and they’d go for broke at the first corner ..

When I tuned in for the actual race Max was about 5th ?’v

In fairness if it weren't for the two lap victory in Belgium Hamilton would be in the lead anyway.

So if any rigging has been going on this year it has been for Verstappen rather than against Verstappen.
