F1 Spanish Grand Prix - May 9, 2021

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Doing better at keeping him beyond DRS since SC restart

Think Perez made an error. Lost a second and a half on one lap but picking it back up again.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Wonder if Red Bull will make another midseason driver change? Perez nowhere to be seen yet again.

He was sick during qualifying. Has picked up places.

Not a fan but he's as good as they can probably hope for right now

Who could they possibly select?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Who could they possibly select?

Inanimate carbon rod?

They could always bring back Gasly.

No chance

 

[Bradesmaen]

No chance

They can just flounder then with 1 driver.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Norris pitting before ADR?

 

[Clubs are trumps]

Ricciardo might hold up Max here

 

[happy_eagle]

Lewis needs to pit now

 

[drd23]

That s**t RBR pitstop has consigned Max to 2nd. Time to go to bed

 

[Gak Attack]

That sh*t RBR pitstop has consigned Max to 2nd. Time to go to bed

Don't want to wait and see McLaren * up ADR's?

 

[Clubs are trumps]

Why would Mercedes leave Lewis out?

 

[Acinath]

Mazepin, the mobile chicane

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Mazepin

Legend.

 

[happy_eagle]

Why would Mercedes leave Lewis out?

No idea. They are now guaranteeing that Lewis will need to overtake Max, which is impossible on this track.

 

[Bradesmaen]

That sh*t RBR pitstop has consigned Max to 2nd. Time to go to bed

Nah, he'll be in front.

 

[FR0GGY]

Dan 8 seconds further behind bottas compared to before bottas pitted.

 

[Clubs are trumps]

Surely Mercedes saw Verstappens 4 second pitstop?

 

[Clubs are trumps]

Dan 8 seconds further behind bottas compared to before bottas pitted.

Doesn't matter. Racing Perez. Ric needs to clear Kimi.

 

[drd23]

That sh*t RBR pitstop has consigned Max to 2nd. Time to go to bed

Or maybe not. Not sure why Mercedes held off pitting when track position is king on this track

 

[happy_eagle]

Bad strategy from Mercedes here. Tyres only 5 laps difference, and has to overtake.
Lewis would have had track position if he pitted the lap after Max.

 

[CrowInFiji]

Mazepin, the mobile chicane

Such a gift for the casual observer. Embarrassing for anyone else

 

[FR0GGY]

Doesn't matter. Racing Perez. Ric needs to clear Kimi.

Yes realize that was just for interest.
