Tommygilf Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 19 hours ago, Gerrumonside ref said: Unbelievable finish with Lewis nursing a puncture around the last lap with Verstappen reeling him in all the time. Lando Norris finishing 5th place with LeClerc in third. Bottas sufferers puncture to dropping from second to out of the points altogether. Unlucky for McLaren with Sainz having a blow out too. Next week is going to be interesting with the tyre compounds getting 1 degree softer. Basically enforces a 2 stopper. Could even see some teams go for Quali on the hard tyre (this weeks medium) as the softs were pretty poor all weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert1 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Scott Redding did the double in Jerez WSBK Motogp is going to be very good this year with Marquez being injured then having to fight back from 50 points down. Diamond road races for 2021 which is great after the Ulster GP going under. The cream of motorsport is the Isle of Man TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clogiron Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Typical, after being starved of sport for months we get Moto GP, WSBK, BRITISH SBK and 1 NRL plus 2 SL games today same tomorrow with a extra SL game. It's going to take some juggling of the record button to fit that lot in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Bottas takes pole at the 70th Anniversary GP at Silverstone. Hamilton takes second and Hulkenberg takes third in the Racing Point. Lando Norris ends up in 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 If Hulkenberg does what we're all hoping for and gets a podium tomorrow, what happens? Especially if Stroll shows the lack of race pace he did last week. Hulk and Vettel at Aston Martin 2021?? On a personal level, its great to see a driver like Hulk in a really competitive car. I know people have issues with this racing point, but its good to see a new team challenging at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulkenberg could replace Kimi Räikkönen at Alfa Romeo. If I were Red Bull I'd stick someone like him in their second car and stop messing around with people who either won't perform or can't perform under the pressure of that team.

M j M Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Great win by Verstappen yesterday, OK the Mercedes struggled but that's hopefully a sign that their car isn't in all conditions going to be able to blow the opposition out of the water. Bottas no doubt unhappy about being overtaken by Hamilton on strategy rather than pace as such, but Hamilton's approach was strategy on the hoof as opposed to a calculated plan and it sort of worked out for him in the end.

Ok so there is always going to be the question mark about no MM93 being there but that's entirely down to Marquez, in it to win it and all that but Binder in only his 3rd Moto GP race comprehensively beat the rest of the field aboard a bike thats never won a race before. A breath of fresh air to what looked like becoming a stale offering. I don't expect BB to win every race from now on but it brings another rider to the top 5 or 6 contenders, certainly KTM should be capable of matching it with Suzuki and the ailing Ducatis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has about as much respect for reputation as Marc Marquez had when he joined MotoGP. A breath of fresh air indeed. If Sunday wasn't a flash in the pan, and I doubt it was, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the bigger works teams looked at signing him.

That is a real shame but probably the truth. I get that point about Red Bull, it certainly wouldn't be the worst move they've ever made. I think with Albon we've got to keep remembering this is only his second season in F1 and his point of reference (his team mate) is one of the most gifted drivers in his generation.

Will be interesting to see how it goes next week in similar circumstances on a similar track at Barcelona. Loved Max's determination throughout the race, particularly at the start refusing to slow down and sensing correctly that this was their chance to beat the Mercs.

HawkMan Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yes, Marco is the son of Michael and grandson of Mario. He's a fearless driver, which in his early races had Michael the team manager tearing his hair out by some reckless driving. Current F1 Max Verstappen starred on IndyCar for a few years before leaving. FI is absolutely the most cutting edge motor series, but not necessarily the most exciting. IndyCar is pretty action packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Champ Car race in Vancouver many years back while on holiday there. Better than F1 but the problem with street races is the slightest mistake and the car is damaged in collision with the crash walls bringing out a long period of yellow flag cruising whilst it's lifted clear. Ovals are better in that respect but any sign of rain and that's it, no racing, a contributing factor to the white elephant that was Rockhampton.

It's on sky F1 channel, but the race only not any other magazine shows or anything else. They have the whole series, but the pandemic has affected it hugely as the series is mainly set in USA, with Toronto and Mexico City as well. The next race is the Indy500, qualifying on Saturday 8pm, the race Sunday week, probably at 5pm. The gap between qualifying and race is normal for the 500, but not other races.
