Poll: Qatar Grand Prix 2021, Lusail - Race 20

He'll win by a country mile, barring anything weird happening. The main question is whether VB can help him out.

Yup. Hamilton needs a Mercedes 1-2 and a clean first lap without max crashing into him.

 

[Locky]

barring Max taking him out.

Fixed for you

Great lap by Lewis, shame Gasly punctured and gave yellow flag for everyone behind Lewis.

A good start by Max could easily be enough. He'd be hard to pass.

 

[muon]

Odds have just switched to make LH favourite for the championship (albeit still close to 50-50).

Will be interesting to see if this pace gap is still there at the end of the session.

60-40 now. Not surprised given the gap.

Divebomb down the inside of Max at T1, brake so late he's "in front" and then just don't turn in

Kenai gets my drift

 

[CaptainRAVE]

That half a second is going to make Horner furious.

Need a bit of steering angle. Have about as much Verstappen did.

I think if Bottas can get P2 tomorrow it’s gonna be a spicy last few races

 

[Locky]

Activate Torpedo Bottas

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Activate Torpedo Bottas

I would howl so hard if that happened, so so hard.

Likewise. It’s frustrating that bottas doesn’t get his elbows out more, but we all know he’ll lose at least 5 places off the start.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Apparently that wasn’t even the Brazil engine! Saving that one for the next two.

Are the q3 top speeds available, would be interesting to see the delta between lewis and max. If it's a big as Brazil lewis could just concede t1 if max does his usual let me through or we crash move and Lewis can then just fly by on the 1k straight a couple laps later

Wouldn’t be for the first time this year. Hamilton can’t risk a collision. Depends how good his start is I guess. Max is nothing but predictable and I’m pretty sure they’ll have him sussed by now.

 

[Scam]

Horner basically saying the race will be decided on turn one wasn't he? We can all predict how this is going to go, it's only a question of whether or not Hamilton can get out of the way...

Haha Perez back in 10th - that seat is just a poisoned chalice

What’s the betting Red Bull carry out their threat and protest the Mercedes rear wing?
Then Hamilton will once again be sent to the back of the grid?
Is there a limit to how many protests teams can lodge?

Surely he only goes to the back of the grid if the FIA actually found something wrong with the Merc rear wing?

Mercedes must love that the fia and Rb are obsessively focussed on their rear wing, I bet whatever they’ve done is somewhere else on the car.
