Leclerc's reaction says quite a lot as well by the way. You could very much hear in his voice that he was having major Bianchi and Hubert flashbacks.

Fittipaldi surname back in F1

 

 

 

 

Wow. There's a lot of names I would not have been too surprised with, but Pietro Fittipaldi was not on that list  

 

Last sort of alright thing he did was winning the 2017 World Series, but that already had a very poor field by then...well, he's been their test driver for a while, so I guess he knows the car at least. Still, Pietro Fittipaldi. Alrighty.

I'm curious why the barrier that came after that wasn't just made longer. Of course it's easy to say that now, but why have this diagonal thing there anyway?

Because the barrier is after the exit of the corner. It's not like Grosjean crashed coming out of the corner, he basically chopped across Kvyat on the straight already. Nobody expects a head-on crashes on the straights.

Fittipaldi is the official Haas reserve driver, I guess have they contractual obligations to him?

And Callum Ilott is busy with the F2 finale next weekend as well. But for this, it would be a coin-flip who replaces Grosjean tbh.

Hamilton positive on Covid-19 test He'll miss Sakhir GP and will be replaced by one of these drivers: Russell, Hulkenberg, Vandoorne or Gutierrez.

Finally a race without Hamilton! I wonder if his replacement kicks Bottas' ass and really stirs the pot!

Take it to the bank: George Russel out qualifies Bottas but fails to score a point anyway.

George Russell fills in for Hamilton @ Sakhir GP. Jack Aitken will drive at Williams.

 

Mick Schumacher has been confirmed as Mazepin's teammate at Haas next season.

 

This is the busiest December 2nd in F1 since like 1962 or something!

I'm almost ready to bet that Russell will beat Bottas in Sakhir
