Poll: Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2021, Imola - Race 2/23

[Deleted member 651465]

Compared to the times set last year, the Merc is 0.8s slower. Red Bull are 0.2s slower whereas some cars (Aston Martin) are quicker than last year.

That’s an insane amount of time to lose over a year and shows how much time Merc have lost over their rivals.

 

[Mr Jack]

Aston are quicker? Huh.

 

[413x]

Really happy for perez.
Really happy that merc are going to be punished this year for not signing Russell.
Look at bottas . He's so bad . Ye , they kept him. Maybe to keep Hamilton happy , maybe to not rock the boat. But it might cost them the WCC this year. Hope it does.
Perez kind of showing albon was just poor.

Also happy to see Aston signing Vettel not working out. Another stupid team decision that they are getting punished for.

Ocon ahead of alonso? Oh dear. Alpine will go far backwards this year.

Norris ahead of riccardo too.

All these tram battles are getting interesting.


Also, anyone else hate this track limits thing? Bring back grass. If you go off you go off. Hate seeing times for them to get deleted

I'm looking forward to a very tight race. A safety car could really shake things up.

Mercedes didn't take Russell because Claire Williams refused to let him out of his contract.

Yup. Albon got plenty of chances to prove himself and he just didn't.

Oh! I didn't realise that! Basically bottas is gone when Russell is free

As Will Smith once said we're going to Miami...

The event will be held on a 3.36-mile track around the Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins NFL team.

Oh good. Sochi Mk II.

Cant wait. So excited. This is what we’ve all been requesting for years, a street circuit!

Of all the amazing tracks in the world, they decide to race around a car park. Now if they signed Portimao for 10 years I’d be happy. It shows how pointless F1s fan surveys are, they do the opposite of what the fans want.

 

[utajoker]

started raining

 

[Merlin5]

Yeah, rain should make it interesting.

 

[Muska]

Rain at parts of Imola currently, could make for an interesting start.

 

[Kenai]

If they have to start on inters/wets, we'll miss out on the fun and games of Perez starting on theoretically faster tyres and needing to get into P1.

 

[Flibster]

That looks fun.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I wonder how these cars will perform in the rain with the slightly reduced downforce.

I’m sure it’ll be dry in 30 minutes

 

[Mr Jack]

Proper soaked in places, dry in others. That's going to be interesting.

And Alonso in the wall. Not the driver I'd have picked as most likely to drop it.

 

[el_dazza]

Half the track is soaked and half is totally dry

Mazepin might as well stick it in the wall on the warmup lap for lols

 

[muon]

Would love the entire race to be like this.

Might as well just smash his front wing with a sledgehammer in the garage and save going out and getting wet!
