Gianfranco Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 That was close. Max needed that slight improvement for pole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Good effort from Max, went 0.038s quicker in his last lap, and got on pole by 0.038s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 No further action against Mazespin. How does that work? I know he'll be starting last anyway, but it's the principle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Also weird that Verstappen didn't open his DRS across the line on his pole lap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until he won his title in 2007 he was fearless, awesome and very, very fast. As soon as he won it he lost a second a lap and never really recovered. I was surprised Ferrari took him back as a #2 driver, but they did. Finally at Alfa he provided a bit of experience for the team before bringing in the new guys. Similar to Jacques Villeneuve and few fucks were given by either after winning the main prize. Rosberg might have been the same if he didn't have the sense to troll Hamilton by retiring as champion instead. Raikkonen did a solid job after returning the diddy team cars; running countless, epically conservative one stop race strategies can't have been fun, but he rarely made an error to take himself out of the running until that bizarre last lap incident with Vettel (?) earlier this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 As exciting as Mugello was, the first three place still went to those who had qualified 1, 2 and 4, with 3rd on the grid being shunted off on the first lap. You'd have to imagine whoever leads at the first corner tomorrow will very likely win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 First time i've ever recorded and watched qualy highlights on Channel4 as I was out and not on usual IPTV and it was very impressive. I was always under the impression Ben Edwards did the commentary and at the end do they always plug the race being live on Sky Sports F1? Loving the wild camber at this track can see carnage at the first corner and multiple red flags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am sure that some of his former Williams mechanics may not be pleased to learn about his pre-race erm, "routine" when he drove for them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Looks a brilliant track to drive but no long wide straights that we seem to need to allow overtaking to happen. Hamilton really gets laid into his team on the radio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I think that the chonkiness of modern F1 cars make this track not as good. If this was 2005 spec cars that were narrower then there probably would have been more overtaking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter Jazz Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 If I was on the Mercedes pit wall I'd have to be pulling the plug on Hamiltons radio -- what a whingeing wee fud he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Verstappen and Hamilton are properly on it. Been a while since we've had such a good championship battle. Great to see Perez running a good race from the pit lane too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure where the overtaking was supposed to happen as the Ferraris, Alpines etc. are line astern already. The only car out of position was Perez and he found his way through the field. It's better to have this than three DRS zones in a glorified car park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
