2020 FORMULA 1 SEASON

[CarlosCanizares]

Welcome back, Esteban Gutierrez.

Hoping for the best, Sergio!

 

[CarlosCanizares]

It was only a matter of time. I wonder how things will change.

I'd hate for this to be like the Marlins.

 

[Supercrumpet]

I really hope Gutierrez can perform. His last season in F1 as a full-time driver ended on quite the sad note.

Is this how Nico gets his podium?

"Information from Silverstone. Racing Point is preparing Nico Hülkenberg's seat to test RP 20 tomorrow. Esteban Gutierrez reported with Mercedes but the lack of recent activity requires a 300 km test to reactivate his super license. "

Its apparently confirmed:

Hope the Hulk can finally show his true pace.

HOLY...thanks, Pirelli.

 

[1ashchuckton]

Wow, never cared for Pirelli tires, they never held up for me. I thought his goose was cooked.

If you have DVR'd the race watch it....

And they’re going softer for next week.

And they’re going softer for next week.

Crazy! Bet they won't be running that much camber.

Or the return of the 3-stop lol

 

[Supercrumpet]

I do hope we get some more interesting two stop strategies for this weekend. If I'm honest I found the first Silverstone race to be really boring other than the first two and last two laps. Was great to see so many cars in the middle of the pack running so close together, but they pretty much all had DRS so nobody could move around and we just got a big train for 40+ laps.

By the way, just for future reference: do we have any rules on spoilers in this thread?

 

[hans611]

I mean, if you are coming to this thread, you should have already seen it..... Very easy to avoid it in the meantime...

If I spoiled anyone's race watching I'm sorry. My way of doing things is if I haven't watched a race yet I stay out of threads about races on this & other sites.
