Poll: Portugese Grand Prix 2021, Portimao - Race 3/23

[Cooler running]

Mercedes seem to have found their pace. They do seem to have the edge now.

The Merc team is so strong that even during adverse rule situations they will succeed. No belief in Bottas winning still though... sorry Bottas.

However alonso isn't doing so well (I didn't think he would) very reminiscent of Schumachers return. He just shouldn't have come back.

100% agree. Alonso still had some semblance of a legacy given how strong his post WC days were. He's just another Kimi / Vettel now.

Great job by norris especially compared to riccardo. That's gonna hurt riccardo.

Vettel. Another driver who needed to perform and who did.

It's certainly getting interesting in the mid field. Fascinated to see who ends up top dog at Aston, McLaren and Ferrari at the end of the season.

This was his first attempt

He has had around 270 GPs and still not done it????

This is a joke, right? He only got on to 99 at the last race. He's had one attempt to break 100. If he was stuck on 99 all season long I'd agree.

It's rubberduck, 'low effort trolling' probably describes it better than 'a joke'.

Only four drivers have a higher % of poles/races than Hamilton.

Never understood the obsession with statistics in sports like F1. The quality of the car and opposition cars is 95% of how dominant a driver is which renders comparisons related to drivers or different eras kind of moot.

Oh the ironing.

I take your point; but it seems like a pretty clear rebuttal to rubberducky.

 

[MooMoo444]

I'm convinced that rubberduck is actually rosberg

 

[Flibster]

Oh the lounge band version of the anthem?

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Dry race, windy, top few drivers pretty close, shame I'm going to miss most of it.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Could be interesting this one. Conditions may play a part even without rain for a change!

 

[MooMoo444]

Feel like there will be contact involving 2 of the top 3. Bottas typically has awful starts so could be 3 deep into t1.

 

[Flibster]

Latifi radio - Whoever has the fan, if they could slide it further away. Slightly further away as it's quite strong.

40°C Track temperature
20°C Air Temperature
0% chance of rain

Here we go!

 

[Junglist]

Red Bull, or rather Max, has been having fantastic starts as of late and is on the clean side of the track. Wouldn't be surprised to see him lead lap after 50% of lap 1

 

[Flibster]

Ricciardo radio - Let's make something ****** happen today

Pit - Yea boi!

 

[spook2575]

Ouch kimi

 

[Flibster]

Safety car deployed

Safety car will go through the pit lane

Oh Kimi...

Brain fart.

 

[Psycho Ned]

oops! What on earth was Kimi doing there?! Just drove into the back of him.

 

[.:MBK:.]

kimi got somewhere better to be or something? that was a weird accident
