That spin must have surely sealed what happens to Albon at the end of the season.

Quite an error there from George Russell crashing out during the safety car it really could have been a first point for him.

another bad weekend for Albon and Red Bull in general, sure they will not keep him

 

good that Russell is confirmed for next year

Red Bull said Albon had Portugal & Imola to essentially save his seat. He scored sweet FA in both races so they're gonna look very silly if they do retain him. As if he was trying to blame Sainz for hitting him too :lol:

 

Problem for him is Tsunoda has pretty much been confirmed at Alpha for next year due to the Honda ties so that would leave Albon without a seat. And it's not like with Ocon who was always gonna get back into the Sport when he was axed. Perez & Hulk are miles ahead of Albon in the pecking order for drivers without a seat too, so yeah looks like poor Albon is f***ed.

 

Gutted for George but the questions are gonna keep swirling. Every time there's a chance to break his points duck he's misfiring. He's the Hulkenburg-equivalent of not scoring points. I think if both Kubica last year & Latifi this year had scored points before him he'd call it a day lol.

Yeah it looks like the end for Albon now. He's unfortunate that the car has a very loose rear end this year and it's compounded by Verstappen's ability to compensate for it. Even though Max doesn't like the handling his skills are on a different level and he's able to live with it. For me, Perez is the obvious choice to take the seat next year but if Red Bull can't sort out the car's issues it could be equally difficult for him.

 

Mind you there's still the outside chance of a spare seat at Mercedes next year...

Pretty much confirmed that there will be a street.race in Saudi Arabia next year.

Apparently Vietnam has been dropped from the 2021 calendar.

Good. Looked awful on the video game, there was a literal roundabout at the end of a 10 billion mile straight.

At least by the time we get to the last 2 races the title will have long been sewn up so it won't be as if there's anything riding on them.

Come on, let’s be fair here to the championship. We can just hand out the trophies before FP1 in Melbourne!

 

Gonna be a boring year without the excitement of the emergency replacement circuits to spice things up

Channel 4 has announced Ben Edwards will step down as the lead commentator for its Formula 1 coverage at the end of the 2020 season.

 

 

Istanbul could be an interesting race if the teams can't... Erm... Get to grips (🙈) with the track...

Get your coat :P

 

Yeah I'm expecting a similar start to the craziness of Portimao with guys on the right tyre storming thru the field Kimi-style and maybe even a shock leader for a lap or 5!

If you're able to watch qualifying you should as the rain has eliminated car advantage. It's also been quite funny so far

And a shocking twist ending worthy of M. Night Shyamalan

oh my thats was crazy

Sainz has a three place grid penalty for impeding Perez and Stroll's pole is still under review. He's been called to the stewards as he may not have lifted off under yellow flags.

No further action on Stroll.

BOO
