December 12, 20205 yr I missed FP3, what happened that caused so many sports books take down being able to place race winner bets?I guess they took a hit with Checo winning last week at +3300 or whatever he was, so wonder with Mercs somewhat shaky performances are they are wanting to limit exposure for a bit?
December 12, 20205 yr Bit late to make a switch at this point, isn’t it? “After qualifying third on his return ahead of tomorrow’s season finale, Hamilton said he was “not 100%”, had ‘lost a good amount of weight’ and had been “bedridden” since his last appearance at the Bahrain Grand Prix two weeks ago. Wolff said it’s ‘absolutely his call to decide whether he’s fit enough or not’ to take part in tomorrow’s race. The 55-lap grand prix took over an hour and a half to complete last year.“ https://www.racefans.net/2020/12/12/up-to-hamilton-to-decide-if-hes-fit-enough-to-race-wolff/

December 13, 20205 yr It is interesting to see Mercedes, just over halfway through, not having an answer on the track
December 13, 20205 yr Wow. Red Bull totally outpowering Mercedes. It looks like it will come down to tire management

December 13, 20205 yr So, worst team season for Ferrari since 1980? horrible shit show. In 13/14 now with 8 laps to go
December 13, 20205 yr And promptly loses 5 seconds on the lead. Lulz Edited December 13, 20205 yr by TonyTexas
December 13, 20205 yr I’m thinking of going to Australia in March. My buddy is retiring back to Melbourne a few weeks before. A week of golf and racing would be sweet.
December 13, 20205 yr Did I hear them say that Mercedes turned down the power this weekend?Yeah, something with the MGUK. May be related to Perez’ failure a few weeks ago? Interestingly, they also added the ability to restart the PU with the MGUK this week. They were the only PU to not be able to do it until now.
December 13, 20205 yr Ah, yep. Here ya go:https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/154168/mguk-gremlin-forced-mercedes-to-turn-down-powerThey were also suspiciously slow in S3 (they usually beast there), so I dunno. Wonder if they might be trying some stuff.

December 16, 20205 yr Bets for the teammate performances next year? Erasing things like mechanical retirements or crashes not of their causing, ive got the following: The obvious: Raikkonen > Giovinazzi Schumacher > Mazepin Russell > Latifi Hamilton > Bottas Gasly > Tsunoda Verstappen > whomever Close battles: LeClerc > Sainz Alonso > Ocon (age, break from sport) Stroll > Vettel (yes, im going on a limb) Ricciardo > Norris
December 16, 20205 yr Pietro Fittipaldi fanboying during the prerace is lowkey great"They were doing the ‘End Racism’ moment, and I had Lewis Hamilton three positions down from me, there was Vettel with me, and I had all these guys, like Daniel Ricciardo, all these guys that I grew up watching, and I was there with them. That’s when it hit me, like, ‘Man, I’m one of the 20, racing with these guys.’ Like, ‘Man, we made it to Formula 1.’"https://racer.com/2020/12/16/after-f1-debut-fittipaldi-eager-for-indycar-return/

Alonso is fit, refreshed, and motivated, and Ocon is just not that great imho. Surprisingly, Kimi vs Gio was very close this year, with Gio winning the Qualy battle 9-8, losing to Kimi in the races, and tying in points.
December 18, 20205 yr Translation please...Something about Perez joining Red Bull...https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/1463977439/sergio-perez-nieuwe-teamgenoot-van-max-verstappen-bij-red-bull-racing
December 18, 20205 yr ^ Sergio Pérez will be Max Verstappen's new teammate at Red Bull Racing in 2021. The arrival of the Mexican has been in the air for a long time and the Red Bull top has now finally made the decision to replace Alexander Albon.
December 18, 20205 yr https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-mercedes-la-w11-laboratorio-e-frutto-di-un-piano-preciso/4927989/Well, there ya go.
December 18, 20205 yr Shit reads like it’s a done deal...FUCK YES!https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-motor-f1-redbull-idUKKBN28S009?taid=5fdc0ad3047c5c0001cbcbe1&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter
