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

[Jono8]

I'm absolutely not a RBR fan but what they've done is not 'BS' or 'scummy' - it's a team racing tactic and it's part of the sport.

It's not Red Bull's problem that Bottas can't or won't do the same for Lewis when the opportunity is there.

If Lewis had a Perez in his team, I think he'd have come into this race slightly ahead on points.

Yep. Bottas hasn't made life difficult for Max anywhere near enough.

He's just not been good enough on race day.

Really enjoyed that little battle, Checo did a good and clean job.

Agreed, great hard racing. I think Lewis was having a preemptive moan to be honest.

 

[Ryan-3]

Not sure what the complaints are. He wasn't moving about in the corner itself, stayed on the circuit at all times. Hard racing is hard racing...

A second car being a torpedo however...

I'd like them to Senna/Prost it... although I'd prefer neither to be the WDC.

Presumably Bottas can take mediums at this stage ?

The RB sniper is out.

 

[CSMonkeh]

Bye bye Kimi

Merc gearboxes not fragile;
Worrying

 

[Greboth]

How can there be an undercut when there's no more stops?

I said potential. If Red Bull can’t get close on the same tyres they might attempt pitting and make it back up; who knows yet.

Can’t take the same tyre. Not unless he wants to stop again.

 

[Flibster]

I really wanted Kimi to make it to the end and do donuts at the end.

 

[mushtafa]

How to listen to radio feed? Sky only? Can't see anything on F1TV

 

[hudson86]

Can’t take the same tyre. Not unless he wants to stop again.

Ahh ok thanks

 

[CaptainRAVE]

They have to leave bottas there as long as he’s in that window.

Yeah my mistake

Sounds like Lewis isn't happy to go to the end on these.

 

[MooMoo444]

It's mental to see Ham and Ver so far out in front. It makes the rest of the field, especially their teammates, look like pensioners.

 

[Locky]

Merc should have not pitted when Max did..

 

[Flibster]

Presumably Bottas can take mediums at this stage ?

Nope. He started on mediums, so will need to go to Hard or Soft.

 

[Deleted member 651465]

They should bring Lewis in right now. He’d come out behind Max with fresh tyres.

 

[Shocky-FM]

Fair play to Perez, but Redbull don't have the pace to catch Mercedes... Same as most previous races.

Not the end to the season they were hyping it to be, but what most were expecting.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton opening the gap to cover max. It’s coming.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton does a 1:27.484 now
