Gerrumonside ref Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Lewis wins with quite a bit to spare with Bottas second and Verstappen third. Lando Norris put in another eye-catching last lap to overtake a few rivals and finish fifth. Another sad day for the prancing horse as LeClerc hit Vettel on the first lap leading to both Ferraris having to retire with significant damage done.

Futtocks Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Tomorrow, 8:45am, BT Sport 2. MotoGP is back back back! Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 MotoGP: Marc Marquez went off while leading, somehow stayed upright through the gravel trap, then stormed through the field from about 20th. Then, while going for a podium position, he highsided, landed on his arm and then got hit hard by the tumbling bike. Doesn't look good for the rest of his season. A win for young Fabio Quartararo in the end, but most of the attention is, understandably, on Marquez and his condition after that crash.

With a shortened, crammed season missing or failing to score points will be crucial, I wouldn't be surprised if MM somehow tries to ride next weekend, if not it will make the championship more open. With Covoid-19 case's rising in Spain at present there might be some twists to come yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having once highsided a 125 trailbike on a grass field landing clean on my elbow at about 30mph and then the next day had to ride my 900 home from the bike rally using the choke as a throttle as i couldn't grip the throttle due to the pain it amazes me what these lads (and lasses) can withstand and put their bodies through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygilf Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 How good were Verstappen's mechanics on Sunday to fix the car on the grid like that?! Very impressive stuff. Hamilton exceptional again. Gasly had a nightmare all weekend. Albon showed some class. McLaren average really after the highs of Austria/Styria Hard to really judge the rest as it is such a difficult track to overtake on and the shift from intermediates to slicks at the start of the race was pivotal. Haas finishing P9 for example. I felt sorry for Kvyat who clearly wanted to do what Haas did and go to slicks and would have finished well imo.

Red Bull could do worse than getting him in to replace Albon. It's a hard gig at that team but he's been so far off the pace at times that it's not going to be sustainable. They should just revert to a Schumacher/Ferrari style setup where there it's acknowledged that there is a first and second driver and the second driver is a safe pair of hands who knows his place and his role rather than a young kid being set up as a great talent but who will never be able to succeed.

I don't know what to make of Red Bull right now and I think there are two things going on. Firstly as you point out it seems like there is a serious case of 1st and 2nd drivers. Red Bull have history of this, see Gasly, Ricciardo, Kvyat, Webber. All 4 were the less preferred option at the team at some point and it showed. With that in mind, I don't think its then fair to blame Albon who is only a season and 3 races into an F1 career, let alone driving a leading car. Secondly, I don't think the car is as good as they thought it was. Its a different aero-philosophy to Mercedes but seems incredibly temperamental. Lets not forget the mighty Max Verstappen (who is one of my favourite drivers on the grid) crashed in the outlap in Hungary. Like I said it seems incredibly twitchy and temperamental and this is for both drivers too. If you're not entirely confident in the car its not a great start. Max is obviously a brilliant driver, but I get the sense that Albon is being made to look worse than he is here. I don't know if you've watched drive to survive on Netflix but once you get past the theatrics you can see a really cut throat set up at Red Bull. Equally on Sky a few weeks back his mate and competitor George Russell defended him too on those lines. IMO Red Bull shouldn't go with an official 1st and 2nd driver scenario, but really need to stop it turning into an unofficial case of that too. They claim they want someone who can push Max Verstappen. Thats a hard task thats made harder by the working environment at the team it seems.

Gerrumonside ref Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 British GP today live on Sky and Channel 4 Lewis on pole, our Lando in 5th and George Russell slightly further down ().

Gerrumonside ref Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Unbelievable finish with Lewis nursing a puncture around the last lap with Verstappen reeling him in all the time.

Flipped channels for a minute to watch the start of the SL coverage, flipped back again and all hell was breaking loose! Crazy end to the race but with Bottas being hit so badly it leaves Hamilton in a dauntingly commanding position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
