Poll: United States Grand Prix 2021, Austin - Race 17

[Psycho Ned]

If you want a serious answer, it’s due to the water particles.

Alright Crofty you can't talk about water particles until about 10 laps from the end of the race when it's all gonna kick off!

Track Temperature 38°C

Ha ha very good.

 

[Junglist]

I feel this is either going to be really exciting or a race to T1 and then a dull procession

 

[Flibster]

Sainz and Tsunoda only ones on the soft. Used ones at that.

Rest of the grid on mediums.

 

[Psycho Ned]

So will Lewis hit Max or Max hit Lewis......lets find out!

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Turn 1 incident noted by stewards

 

[Kenai]

Inb4 whinging about being pushed off track

 

[Flibster]

Stroll - Got hit from behind. Check damage.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Great stuff from Danny Ric

 

[Kenai]

Nice from Ricciardo

 

[Jimbeam3678]

There won't be any racing. Lewis is rubbish at starts. He will get passed by Perez and Max will drive off into the distance.

Talk to me.

 

[el_dazza]

Some superb racing there.

 

[Flibster]

Ocon pit radio - Ok Esteban, we think we have front wing damage. Do you feel the same. Can see a lot of sparking.

Ocon - No.

Pit - You don't, you don't feel it?

Ocon - No I don't feel it. All ok.

Vestappen is so aggressive, his start he literally pushed lewis are far wide as physically possible, beyond what i thought he would, Interesting race ahead

 

[Flibster]

Race control. - Turn 1 incident - no investigation necessary.

Still don't know what the incident was...

 

[muon]

Merc looks weak.

Also interesting precedent Max has set. Good to see Hamilton didn't back out.

Good races to come.

 

[englishpremier]

Crofty thinks Mexico isn't in North America then

 

[spook2575]

Wonder how powerful the undercut is?

 

[Flibster]

Bottas pit radio - Ok Valtteri , we need to give the position back to Gasly. Need to do it now otherwise we might get a penalty.

Race control - Verstappen lap time deleted - track limits turn 19

 

[Psycho Ned]

Lets see what Max does here.

If he's Sensible he'll be patient and just take Lewis at the pit stops as he looks to have a fair bit in hand. He usually isn't though and could do a Leroy Jenkins sooner rather than later!

 

[muon]

Verstappen would have driven off into the distance I think. Hamilton has given himself a chance with that overtake.
