Haas drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen have received post-race time penalty after the race stewards found the American team guilty for aiding their drivers during the formation lap.
Well... Red Bull wanted to make Max the youngest WDC in history... Now that it seems very improbable for that too happen, they may turn around and start focusing in getting a WCCHammerfist wrote:Redbull need to lay off the Max cool-aid and build a car that both drivers can live with. Max alone is not going to get them to beat Mercedes, they need to create that intra team rivalry where both drivers are pushing each other. That is how Mercedes did it, first with Rosberg and Hamilton, than now with Hamilton and Bottas. You get the feeling both guys like the car. Albon does not feel comfortable in the Redbull. That much is clear.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑18 Jul 2020, 16:17George Russell stated that all of the guys Albon grew up racing with know how quick and good he is. If RedBull drop him, it'll be their loss if he goes elsewhere and finds his mojo again.
they gave merc a false target with their rocket ship of an engine last year. And the other teams are a bit embarrassing redbull are nowhere with their chassis/aero and Ferrari nowhere with their engine.

The thing is though he doesn’t strike me as the bounce-back type, his demeanour is too introverted & he’s being crushed truthfully worse than KVY and GAS. At least the car was good when GAS & KVY were in the second seat.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑18 Jul 2020, 16:17George Russell stated that all of the guys Albon grew up racing with know how quick and good he is.

Mercedes Engines are built and designed in Brixworth Northamptonshire England.
Ironically the Toyota is the only German Formula One car and engine from recent times.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑18 Jul 2020, 16:18The engine is English. A bit of German coatings here and there but it is English! The turbochargers are American.
Alonso can handle difficult cars too, and was off-contract for 2021 until recently.Hammerfist wrote: ↑18 Jul 2020, 16:21Albon does not feel comfortable in the Redbull. That much is clear.
In all honesty I think they're working on the 2022 car right now. They're running a low rake design they re-designed, the rear suspension to give them more room for development of the diffuser and rear end as a whole. I think that's all been done with an eye towards 2022.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑18 Jul 2020, 16:22The sad part really is that Mercedes now have the biggest opportunity to dominate with the new set of regulations in 2022... They won’t need to invest one minute in the W12 for 2021 and focus 100% on 2022, which will give them an advantage.
With him and Stroll starting on the medium tires i think they're in a great position for the racePlatinumZealot wrote: ↑18 Jul 2020, 16:16Perez always sets up for the race. He seems to not care too much about beating his teammates in qualy as long as he can start near them.FrukostScones wrote: ↑18 Jul 2020, 16:10STR seems to be quick with quick cars that give him confidence.
PER can't be that bad. Or?
Perhaps Ferrari will push politically for some kind of power unit equalisation? That would indirectly help Renault and Honda to a lesser extent, albeit bring the works and customer team Ferraris back into contention.Carl Mccoy wrote: ↑18 Jul 2020, 16:30This year's season may be interesting only for Mercedes fans. The token and limit system is real stupidity on the part of the FIA.
