2021 Styrian Grand Prix - Spielberg, June 25 - 27

Did not watch the race because I was watching MotoE but looking at the results it seems this was a very dull race. Where´s the rain people were forecasting?

Oh golly. Fastest lap point.

Better than Max or Perez having it.

[Dr. Acula]

Well, i would wait until after the first race with the new tyres before i would say the championship is over. The tyres can change the order a lot.

Merc does seem to have given up on dev but does anyone actually know where Merc actually spent their tokens?!

Great race, can't believe the Ferraris today. Shame about Gasly and RusseIl. I think RB strategy will have to not be happy with the decision to pit Perez.

You didn't miss much. Boring race after the usual first lap trip ups.

Redbull mistake on perez bottas

I don't know why they waited for 16 laps to the end.
With Checo they f... up twice today.

Also Raikkonen and Vettel battle was great! Would be interesting to see the number of overtake statistics for this race.

After watching this race and the last, the fastest car is clearly RedBull, on both race pace and quail pace - the only hope Merc has is strategy perhaps but this was quite the statement. Realistically there is little chance anyone other than RedBull wins the constructors, especially with Perez also pushing on.

You cannot write off a season that you can win a championship in. Makes no sense. They jusy underestimated Redbull.
This all points back to the floor regulations. Redbull lost the least downforce with the rules and were quite delighted to know that even when they use a low drag wing they still have more downforce in the body of the car and overall more than mercedes.
4 wins in a row.. if that's not dominant car i dont know what is. Championship is Max's to lose. If Lewis wins this year.. it will be one for the ages.

Now let's repeat. Just give Max the trophy for the next race from now. Same result next week.

[Fulcrum]

Absolute domination (relatively speaking) from Verstappen, and as predicted by a few members of the forum. He'll be looking to double up next weekend.

[siskue2005]

Looks like redbull still second fastest car, look where the second redbull car finish.. Both Mercs P2 and P3.

It wasn't a great race. It was dull as ditch water. Great result for Max and a very clinical, mature drive from him so well done. Hamilton unable to compete as Max and the Red Bull are simply too fast. He did his best, however. Another nothing special drive from Bottas. Good support drive by Perez, trying to put pressure on Mercedes.

Good little fight going on between McLaren and Ferrari in the midfield. Silly accident on the first lap for Leclerc, great recovery drive afterwards, however.

Unless there is rain, expect next week to be a repeat of this race. Max will continue to extend his lead and the title looks more and more likely to be his this year. Mercedes's apparent hubris is biting them in the arse.

Yes, its possible to upload some clips that fom then claim and monetise. Not very many and its somewhat random what goes and what doesnt.

Yeah, I realised that because I went to check a few "F1 driven" channels that I had subscribed recently, and a few of them are banned, so FOM still bans some videos. Very random(therefore odd) indeed

[Pyrone89]

Lewis going with the ‘engine upgrade narrative’ again. Sore. Whining about straight line speed while he himself had a dominant car for 7 years
