Formula 1 Rolex Sakhir Grand Prix 2020Formula 1

[Dennisch]

This shows that Lewis has some sort of luck amulet.

 

[mastergracie]

The Mercedes car is so superior that even last year's car is better than the others on the field. LOL

 

[EngieDiesel]

If that race didn't prove that Perez deserves Albon's a seat next year, then frankly I don't know what does.

 

[Liquid]

Super stuff for Perez. He has driven excellently this season.

 

[Touring Mars]

Congratulations to Sergio Perez and Racing Point - or should that be Racing 40 Points?!

Terrible luck for GR - at least he provisionally gets 2 points, but he is under investigation for the mixed tyre thing - a rare but TOTAL balls up from Mercedes... what are the chances?

Meanwhile, taxis required for Messrs Bottas and Albon methinks.

 

[numbnuts70]

P1, now get your p45

 

[PzR Slim]

Race winner, 4th in WDC and no drive next year.

 

[FoRiZon]

Stroll at 3rd.

Russel the fastest Lap.

Pretty good for F1s only near oval race

 

[Demon Drone]

If that race didn't prove that Perez deserves Albon's a seat next year, then frankly I don't know what does.

And this race wasn't even needed as further proof.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Super stuff for Perez. He has driven excellently this season.

Great stuff for Racing Point and Ocon

 

[BrainsBush]

Great race!

 

[MSZ]

This shows that Lewis has some sort of luck amulet.

And he is masterful when it comes to tire management.

 

[Liquid]

P1, now get your p45

That was funny, I admit.

 

[Famine]

Now... the big question is... will they have the right anthem available this time?

 

[FutureF1]

And he is masterful when it comes to tire management.

You cannot be blaming that puncture on Russell

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Frustrating race, but congrats to Perez. Well-deserved win.

Nice podium for Ocon.

Even without the puncture, Mercedes seriously borked Russell with that stacked pit. Points are small consolation.

Poor Bottas. I've bagged on him pretty hard, but that pit screwed him.

Ah! McLaren dropped to 4th in the WCC? Bring on Abu Dhabi.

 

[C-ZETA]

Anyway, I dare say if Perez isn't in the Red Bull next year they're objectively wrong.

Additionally, it turns out motorsport without a dominant force in the field is really bloody good. I've known this since this summer, as it happens.

 

[SlowGrayAudi]

That's payback for Sepang 2012.

How is it payback when he overcooked the penultimate corner? He didnt get screwed over in 2012, he messed it up.

 

[MSZ]

You cannot be blaming that puncture on Russell

No, no one is blaming him for that, but everyone saw he was pushing really hard after SC.

 

[C-ZETA]

Plot twist: Mercedes had Perez lined up as their next driver all along

 

[Jimlaad43]

Headline number 2, go home you're drunk.

 

[Famine]

What are the odds on Russell's puncture being from debris from his own Williams' front-wing courtesy of Aitken's off?

 

[numbnuts70]

Never give up

 

[PeterJB]

Assuming Hamilton doesn't come back, Russell will wipe the floor with Bottas in Abu Dhabi.

 

[mastergracie]

 

[andrea]

Get in there, Checo.

 

[Jimlaad43]

2 teams and drivers get their first wins this season. That's now 13 drivers on the podium too!

Perez smashes the record for most races before the first win. 190. Beating Mark Webber's 130 by a long way.

 

[numbnuts70]

Spray that champers, now oppit boyo

 

[Dennisch]

And he is masterful when it comes to tire management.

Nothing to do with a incidental puncture.
