Formula 1 2021

Murray was indeed a star, he and James Hunt had a nice chemistry, I think Martin Brundle is excellent, Ted along with Jenson and Damon, tis a pity they are on Sky, but you can stream it live if you persevere searching.
Here's to a nice clean end of season race.
Fine chance

Sky guys are certainly the best in my opinion. I like Lee Mckenzie as a person as well as a commentator, although she is not on Sky. [She holds an International Rally Licence by the way], and was very good looking a few years ago!. Did a deal with Sky to drop all the Sky Sports [football!!!!] Channels last year and they allowed me to keep the Formula 1 channel at £38 per month rather than the £70 I was paying previously. If you badger them, they can be co-operative! Have Eurosport 1 and 2 as well in that pricel to keep Teresa happy with her skiing!.

Abu Dhabi race to be shown live on Channel 4. Oh joy

The change channel option or mute facility is always available. No one is forcing you to listen to Channel 4 coverage.

Well, excellent lap by Max and Perez, but Lewis in second place which is good as long as he survives the attention of two Red Bulls in the first corner!!!. Max's tyre strategy is compromised, and Lewis is one of the most intelligent drivers out there when it comes to preserving tyre life, My money is still on him tomorrow.Will have to steer clear of all news and television reports until after the race. Senior Management decrees we must attend that Ballroom Dance!!!. Priorities???????

[slogen51]

What's wrong with C4 coverage ? It's like complaining about free beer

Mad Max having to start on softs - will that force a two stop strategy and giving up track position to Hamilton hoping to pass him later? Two hopes of that!

[Nighthawke]

The implication is that your two quoted statements contradict each other.

[2e1var]

Todays the day. I wonder if all the chat later will be about Lewis and Max or whether it will be the channel 4 casuals moaning about the pro Lewis commentary from the Sky guys. Brace yourself boys.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!

[podge]

No surprise there, Red Bull clearly controls the FIA decisions.

[eagle driver]

Hell no Verstappen should not even be on the same track

Defo. Cry all they want, the FIA defo decided who won the championship there.

[2e1var]

Wow, ill say more tomorrow.

[ArabJazzie]

I used to watch F1 religiously every week, but that is only the second race ive watched this season, and have to say that its just another sport that is being spoiled by individuals who want to be bigger than the majority of the ones who are supposed to provide the entertainment!

[podge]

but only with help(and alot of) from the official's.

Don’t think there’s any debate there

According to Ted, the rules state
'Once the last lapped car has past the leader, the safety car will return to the pits'

So yea, the stewards have broken/bent the rules to orchestrate verstappens chance to overtake Hamilton.

Edit.
And Mercedes have indeed launched a protest of the results. But you have got to wonder what the point in protesting the decisions of decisionmakers to said decisionmakers is...

[steamy]

Well done Verstappen, a well fought season, thoroughly deserved!

[podge]

Verstappen won by a bending of the rules by the FIA, well done indeed.

The whole thing was a joke. If the priority was finishing under racing, then surely a red flag would have been better. Then at least no one is wrong footed, and if Hamilton broken up the restart it would have been his own fault. It would have been fair. But no, they chose to break/bend their own rules instead. Someone needs to be held accountable for that.

[gamecock]

Apparently he told the Sky team earlier in the week that the race wouldn’t be red flagged in those conditions. Why would he comment at all? Give yourself all options. However, the safety car was entirely consistent with every other race, a red flag and the chance for LH to change tyres would have had RB crying! Thing is he didn’t have to make the strange call at the end as RB has already given up on the race, barring a miracle. Anybody seen Latifi yet?
