Lewis Hamilton has taken his 100th victory in today's Russian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen ended up in second place, taking full advantage of the last-minute rain that turned everything around. Carlos Sainz completes the podium in third place.
Let’s hope so! It was the most exciting GP for a long while. The way they just pushed the cars up to 100-150 kph straights or so, was just incredible to watch!El Scorchio wrote: ↑21 Sep 2021, 00:17Or another two lap CLASSIC.

If there was 1 track on the calendar I'd never pick for a 3-stop, it would be this one.SiLo wrote: ↑20 Sep 2021, 10:14Do you use some simulation software? rFactor Pro? Is it historical data of the compound vs other races that it has been used at?godlameroso wrote: ↑19 Sep 2021, 22:51I usually get it right, and that's for me to know, trade secret n all.
You don't have to say exactly how it's done, but at least give me an idea.
Otherwise I could also claim the same and then just say that "I usually get it right".
Edit: After a quick search through you tyre related posts, it seems you were wrong about Zandvoort, Silverstone & Austria, so please forgive me if I ask for some evidence to back up your claims. At that point I stopped looking through the race threads but I'm sure I could find more examples like that.
Haha indeed, and to think Rosberg has been gone for 5 years now!
I think he stopped for hards, not mediums, but yes, he easily completed the race (though Mercs were arguably in their most dominant form that year) at least in terms of engine power.Roman wrote: ↑21 Sep 2021, 15:52People talking about a three stopper.... I always thought this track was very smooth and therefore almost certainly a one stopper. Didn't Rosberg stop for mediums a few years back on lap one and then easily completed the race?
P.s. I just saw that that happened 2014...time flies....
I wish it would be wet for both quali and race.
Or at least postponed and maybe dropped into a gap later in the season. (Although not really knowing the climate in Sochi, how late can they feasibly leave it before the weather is too bad?) That's an incredible visual, isn't it! I really don't see how they can hold a race weekend like that.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑22 Sep 2021, 12:01Well there's no way that even F1 can try to run the cars behind the safety car if the pits are flooded like that over the weekend. If it's like that on Friday I can see the event being abandoned.
That's the support pits, not the pits pits. Track might be okay. The reason spray at Spa is so bad is the trees don't allow it to disperse. Could be okay in the concrete car park of Sochi.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑22 Sep 2021, 12:01Well there's no way that even F1 can try to run the cars behind the safety car if the pits are flooded like that over the weekend.
