Formula 1 FIA World Championship 2021


Recommended Posts

What a race :lol: 

 

Mostly boring, then an incredibly dangerous tyre issue threw it around....and Hamilton :lol: 

 

Quite idiotic to have the restart with two laps to go, that's really just asking for things to go very wrong, luckily that didn't happen (for Hamilton, sure, but no damage).

 

Bottas was riding for Red Bull as well today, I assume? What a fail, again..

Red Bull basically did to Mercedes what Mercedes did to them in Spain.

 

Bottas was fuming there in the end, he didn't even go after FL since it was obvious he would lose 3rd place to Perez.

 

Ferrari 0 pts. Their two-stop strategy ended in the gutter since they pitted too early to begin with. I mean LeClerc's second stop happened only one lap after Vettel's only stop of the race :crazy:

Max Verstappen wins at the Red Bull Ring. Hamilton had some rear end issues and only finished 4th behind Bottas and Norris.

 

Raikkonen & Vettel had a dumb crash on the last lap as the Finn didn't really look in his mirrors.

 

A rash of 5 second penalties for forcing driver off track (2x Perez, 1x Norris) and crossing white line at pitlane entry (2x Tsunoda).

VERSTAPEEEEN!!! 

 

Too bad that Norris could not keep the fantastical 2nd place.

 

But still, this race was clear advantage Red Bull. Maybe, just maybe this year there might be a champion other than Mercedes??

The real moment of truth of course will be 2022: who can prevail under the new rules?

I missed today's race because half of the season is available only on Star Action, part of the expensive Star Premium package, and there's better racing elsewhere.

Great season to watch for someone who is sick of hamilton/mercedes domination.   Hopefully it continues like that but he gotta bounce at some point (probably at home in 2 weeks)

Hopefully he'll be able to put up more of a fight than in the races in Austria (and probably he will), because those were just as boring when it's about the winner :lol: 

 

At least yesterday it was interesting behind Verstappen.

    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?
