Poll: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021, Yas Island - Race 22

Another Ham win is boring, I'm rooting for Max, even though I'm not his biggest fan.

I want Hamilton to win and claim the 8th world championship. He deserves it

Is the audio out of sync on the uhd stream for anyone else?

On those medium tyres I can really see Lewis being in 5th place after the 1st corner

 

[chrcoluk]

Its on same time as Leicester EPL game, when I prioritised the football last week, sky decided to do a spoiler at half time the idiots, so will probably skip the football.

It's all about that strategy today. What a great end to an interesting season though.

I think lewis will try to 1 stop Med/Hard (unless there is a SC mid to late race) max will almost definitely have to 2 stop soft/hard/soft as those hards most likely won’t last the race and will be shot to **** come the last 10 laps if he tries to 1 stop

I thought both teams were planning 1 stop. If max can make his tyres last more than 15 laps then he should do it on hards. It's going to be close (we hope).

I would be surprised is those softs go 15 laps with a full fuel load, I think it all depends if lewis is behind him after turn 1, if max is being pushed then the softs won’t last, if he disappears into the sunset because lewis is stuck behind Perez then they will do at least 15 laps

Oh Jesus, am I going to be forced to listen to Brundle and Crofty?

FML.

 

[Bazzards]

Does anyone know whether c4 will have adverts during the race?

 

[englishpremier]

What is the official statement from Pirelli on how long the softs, mediums and hards can be run?

FML.

What's wrong with Brundle? I find as he's aged he's become quite cynical, but I like that. Normally the things he's saying makes sense.

 

[RoboCod]

Brundle is fine and adds at least some level of technical knowledge to his commentary. Crofty just irks everyone.

Unlikely, it’s a very short run fortunately for Hamilton. Hamilton’s tyres will be at a huge disadvantage for the first lap though until they properly heat up.

 

[RoboCod]

If you have sky showcase though, you can watch in UHD (Red Button)

Even if you don't have sky uhd?

 

[Psycho Ned]

Don't think 2nd is massively bad for Ham to be honest, keeps Max in shot and he can stay out of his way! Don't think Lewis will be going to try overtake into turn 1 regardless as even if he nails it then you've got a desperate Max on your tail with better tyres trying all sorts.

Just stay right behind Max and let the strategy play out.

15-20 laps I've heard for the soft. So even if it's 15 laps. Max is easily going to be more than second a lap faster than the majority of the field bar Lewis, so should have a nice gap to drop into for the 1st pit stop.
