Poll: British Grand Prix 2020, Silverstone - Race 4/?

[ZG002]

And Grosjean needs to go.

I was actually hoping for a black flag after that second time he blocked.

Honestly think the guy has issues, he really can't seem to get his head around what is acceptable in F1 and as always is a big accident waiting to happen.

The crazy thing is he has been like this form his very first season but is still here.

Bit of a shocker from Tracing Point.

I actually gained a little respect for Grosjean. He was holding his own very well after the second SC restart and was keeping good pace. I thought he had a chance of some points. Aaaaand then he completely undid all that respect with 3 petulent moves under braking. He'll be lucky if he doesn't get a point on his license for those, if only to dissuade others from trying the same when defending.

Also, he's the GPDA chairman...? Just lol.

Ninja edit wasn’t quite fast enough mate. Ahh the sweet taste of victory, something Bottas rarely gets to experience.

Looks like he’s not the only tragic one.

Ok mate

I bet he's the type who gets a 2 hour meeting over in half an hour, so everyone loves him.

Renault have protested Stroll's Racing Point... again...

Tracing Point.

Heh.

I’m all for elbows out, but what he did achieves nothing other than risking a huge accident.

Apparently they do it so that if the car gets found to have broken the rules it gets disqualified from all the races they protested it at.

Yup. Although, it's not so important for them here. They're both ahead of it.

 

[Flibster]

Grosjean gets a warning for moving in the braking zone.

Racing Point have made a big step forward, but it's clear that who's best-of-the-rest is highly track dependent.

The question is was RP's lacklustre performance here because the car only works at high downforce tracks, or because they missed Perez experience in setting the car up, or because Stroll underperformed.

Given that last year's Merc won here (at a canter), I'm going for a combination of the last two.

 

[MissChief]

Like button says, the teams don’t be happy. The tyres shouldn’t just go like that. Not the first time either. Think they’ll change them for next weekend?

They shouldn't. If it forces the teams I to different strategies or makes them stop twice, tough. Adapt or fail.

I'd agree with that. The racing point really did show some promise over the weekend. However, they failed to deliver, I dont think its just down to the car, it clearly has pace, albeit it seems a little temperamental, but I reckon had Perez been there this weekend, I think they may have had a better result.

Despite all the jokes, this year's RP is not last year's Mercedes. It's unreasonable to expect it to perform the same.

Precisely. I reckon it'll make for a fun race.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

It’ll certainly make quali and starting tyres interesting. We’re going to see tyre management on an epic scale.

Stroll did very well right until qualifying where he slightly underperformed. In today's race they got their strategy wrong and he ran out of tyre. At least that's what I infer from the statement on their website.
