Simulation of Hamilton’s 2020 Mercedes W11 Vs. an unrestricted F1 car.

A couple of seconds faster at Spa would be incredible. But 10 seconds??? That’s insane.

 

Very much enjoyed the race on Sunday. Looking forward to the rookie-induced chaos this season

 

It would be pretty cool if Lewis can win the sprint race this evening (PST) being on pole. However I think the McLarens will gobble him up in race trim as they're smoking fast.

 

My entire fam is wearing F1 pajamas right now… it is strange

 

Lewis took it - great drive!

 

A boring track but a great race. I do like how massive turn 1 is, but otherwise a boring track.

A double DQ for Ferrari. It was great to listen to both drivers get snappy with their engineers. There’s some team building needed and the engineers need to learn when to STFU.

Been interesting to watch Red Bull trying to find speed. Max is earning every position and the rumors are already starting about Liam. Busting him back to RB and promoting Yuki for the next race in Japan sounds like fun.

Finally, I am learning I can not like either driver but still root for a team. Nice to see McLaren off to a great start

 

Nice track boring race with more drama after the race. Liam/Yuki swap hopefully happens before Japan. Ferrari needs to get their shit together.
"We are checking "
Nice to see both Williams in the points after the 3 DQs. Hass had a good result as well

 

Liam to the back…Yuki please report for duty!

 

FP3 about to start in a little bit. Hopefully they figured out how to stop the grass from catching on fire.

 

Whelp that was a boring race. Like that track but it needs another DRS zone.

McLaren needs to be faster with their team decisions.

 

Yup, could've used a few red flags for grass fires in the race instead of practice and qualifying.

 

Preparing for Easter dinner kept me from starting the race until 9pm last night. I was wiped out so skipped the full race and just watched the highlights. First time I have gone that route. Must have been a pretty boring race if the highlights were about 8min long.

Was there really no good drama or racing other than the Yuki-Gasly mashup at the start?

 

That and max’s penalty for cutting that first corner, then him getting pissed about it. Norris did good.

 

Wasn't that bad of a race. Max and Oscar incident into turn 1 after the start giving Max 5 second penaty. Back and forth DRS battle between Lewis and Lando was pretty intriguing which actually held up Lando from snatching 3rd place from Leclerc. Ferrari had a 2.0 and 2.1 second pitstop. Both Williams finished in the points. Max got butt hurt when David Coulthard asked him about first turn incident during post race interview.

 

Haha…yeah, the Max/Oscar was interesting. The 5 sec penalty seemed appropriate, especially since Max lost by 2.5 sec.

 

This kid is an animal

 

Who’s gonna arrive late and then blitz the track?

 

Went to an F1 race in Montreal awhile back. I just remember how FAST those cars were. TV can't capture the real speed.

Team Aston Martin here.

 

What a great race. Nice to see Max doing maximum defense without being a prick.

Ferrari needs to get their chit together. I know the season is still young, but I am starting to wonder if Hamilton is going to need a new seat next year. Maybe by choice, maybe by push.

 

Lots of bickering going on at Ferrari, both drivers extremely frustrated. Nice seeing Williams performing well. McClaren gapping everyone else by 30 seconds is not funny.

Very exciting race to the halfway point then it settled down. On to Imola with dud Ferrari's

 

While not a Huge Fan when it came to Houston I made sure to get tickets,even got pit passes.
It's some Crazy Shit No Doubt!!!
Hearing them round a corner and hit the gas will give you Goosebumps!!!
It's Crazy how they made the track on the streets of Houston!!

 

The sprint race was one, if not, the best race of the year!

Plenty of action in the actual race as well!

Piastri is looking like the guy to beat!

Kimi continues to impress big time!

 

Bound to happen at Ferrari with the crybaby Lewis Hamilton……I am happy for Williams. Albon P5 today was awesome. McLaren has rocket ships.

 

I think history will be repeating itself over at McClaren with Oscar and Lando. Those battles between Prost and Senna back in the day were spectacular in the Marlboro McClarens.

 

I was invited to go this weekend and couldn’t make it. Dumb of me I know. @BiggHertz keeps reminding me.

 

Yes, nice to see Williams doing great. I keep wanting to buy some Williams swag but it’s pretty boring. Oh well.

 

here is some swag. I got this for my birthday a couple weeks ago:

Working hard…hardly working

 

Lando squeaked in a really fast lap for pole, I didn't think anyone would get into the 1:09's
Hopefully Leclerc can jump him on the start. Should be interesting race with mandatory two tire stops and probable safety cars and red flags with all the rookies.
Lewis got dinged for a 3 place grid penalty for impeding Max so he will have his work cutout for him.

 

Yeah, this will definitely be a race won by strategy.
