I’m a rider of KTM’s so admittedly i lean towards redbull.  I was bummed when Riccardo (and even Vettel years ago) left as he was the likeable driver on the team, but i can’t complain about this years results.  Next year is concerning since they are essentially taking over the power unit from Honda.

I’d love to have a US team do well, I’m not sure how long Haas will remain in F1 if they don’t at least get back to being competitive with the midfield teams.  Would also love to see an American driver do well someday.

Looking forward to seeing how Russell does in the Mercedes next year.  Hopefully they don’t crap all over him like they did to Bottas.

Yeah, i don’t have a lot of hope he’ll be able to keep first for a long stretch of the race initially.

But i assume there will be numerous safety cars during the race.  I just feel like Checo has a disadvantage on restarts, he seems to drop positions more often than not.

Yeah, i think Redbull is in a lot of trouble.  I imagine they finish 2nd in the constructor because you can do upgrades all season to fix reliability, but you can’t upgrade the power unit on a reliable car. 

I think they probably have 2 of the 4 fastest cars on the track, but Leclerc is on a whole different level in the Ferrari right now.  Im a fan of Sainz, but he just seems to have the oddest luck, so he’s probably not taking points from Leclerc

I think Formula 1 is going to have to have some difficult decisions with race tracks in the near future.  I think they only signed a 5 year deal to have this race, and if the track isn’t adjusted, i doubt they renew.

The last few weeks would be even worse for them if Carlos hadn’t blatantly ignored orders from the pit wall.

Agreed, it looks like everyone but Sainz (who im happy for) was pissed off about the outcome that day.  Sainz standing up to team orders was the best strategy made by a Ferrari team member all day.

This reddit thread is an interesting read.

I learned about it at a pretty young age, between Ayrton Senna Super Monico GP, and watching movies like Grand Prix with my dad.  So street circuits and road courses are where my racing interest developed.  Then all of the nuances they have for races that dictate strategies.  Formula 1 has really become accessible for most people in the last few years with the ESPN coverage.

The series on Netflix would be a good entry point for someone that wanted to get into some of the extra stuff that goes on.  Grand Prix was good, but its from the 60’s i think, so it may not resonate well with some wanting to jump in.  The movie Rush was really good at telling the story of James Hunt and Niki Lauda, and was pretty entertaining.

If i were to tell someone where to start, i’d say watch one of the time trials on Saturday morning for qualifying.  It starts with 20 drivers, in Q1 they take the top 15 times and they go to Q2, then they send the top 10 times to Q3 and Q3 winner gets pole.  That usually only last an hour.  And the races are short as well.  It’s not out of the norm to get races completed in 90 minutes.  As opposed to the 3 hour marathons of nascar.

Really an incredibly bad year for Ferrari strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mercedes finishes above them for 2nd in the constructors Championship. All they have to do is stay out of the way and let Ferrari self destruct. I was hoping Mercedes would finish 4th or lower behind McLaren and Ferrari this year after dominating for so long.

Yeah, Merc has been the definition of consistency outside of Russell’s ill timed and confusing dnf.  But i don’t see anyway that they finish lower than third (and most likely second).  Even when Ferrari has a good race strategy , the drivers find a way to eff up.
