Poll: Turkish Grand Prix 2021, Istanbul - Race 16

Driver of the day time.

Sainz? Leclerc? Perez?

Difficult to choose, but maybe go Perez for me.
Hamilton/Mercedes fumble.

Edit: Think this one will be a 2 or 3 rating. Quite awful.

 

[booyaka]

Probably Perez

 

[Flibster]

Looking at the lap times, I think that it's likely that Hamilton would have been in 3rd if he hadn't have stopped.

Mercedes either should have called Hamilton in significantly earlier, or left him out.

Sainz

Or Bottas neither put a foot wrong.

??

I think this is the point where it slips away from Lewis..

I think this is the point where it slips away from Lewis..

Max has already won apparently?

 

[mmj_uk]

Bottas has done Hamilton a huge favour there, shame the same can't be said for Mercedes' computer model.

 

[Flibster]

Coulthard doing the interviews?

Get prepared for him to suck up to his paymasters then.

 

[Kautya]

Looked like it had promise but really needed a dry line, then more rain to spice it up.

Some nice battles and overtakes, but overall pretty dull.

Yeap pretty much sums it up.

 

[Journey]

Not a terrible race overall, bit boring at the front, but plenty of action elsewhere, will be interesting to see how the final races of the year unfold with such a small gap in the championship still.

 

[Flibster]

Mazepin - Can you please note down that I was really struggling with the visor, umm, being fogged up during the race.

Pit - Ok, no problem.

 

[turbot1984]

The Vettel lap on slicks was highlight of the race, dull stuff on a dull day.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Maybe that's been his problem all year? A foggy visor.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton pit radio - So, sorry about that. Have to chat to you, talk you through the call.

 

[Mr Jack]

Did Mercedes think they had to pit? That's the only thing that would explain such a smooth brain decision.

 

[Flibster]

Perez pit radio - Back on the podium mate.

Perez - Uuuuuh. Finally man.

Horner - Well done Checo. I told you you'd be on the podium. Well done mate.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Did Mercedes think they had to pit? That's the only thing that would explain such a smooth brain decision.

Maybe they were just worried about a failure, or big drop off?
It didn't make much sense to me.

Mazepin - Can you please note down that I was really struggling with the visor, umm, being fogged up during the race.

Pit - Ok, no problem.

Getting the excuses in; finished way down on Mick Schumacher again

Getting the excuses in; finished way down on Mick Schumacher again

And despite Alonso punting Mick off. Still baffled why the stewards penalised Gasly too.
