Off course lucky with that rain in the end that McLaren screwed up on. Hamilton and Verstappen were indeed lucky with the rain coming in, but did make brilliant use of it. Huge shame Norris made the wrong call though Anyway, this was Hamilton's chance to deal a big blow to Verstappen in the title fight and he didn't. Not his fault obviously, he can't do more than win, but Verstappen was too good for Hamilton to make a big difference. Might have been a fairly crucial race in the overall picture, but there's a long way to go yet. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Monzanator 3,595 Posted October 9, 2021 #132 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Hamilton will take a 10-place grid penalty in Turkey. Red Bull appears to be way off in practice so far. Meanwhile Michael Andretti seems to be serious with the Sauber/Alfa Romeo buyout which would bring Colton Herta to F1. https://racer.com/2021/10/08/andretti-set-for-further-sauber-f1-takeover-talks-in-austin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 3,595 Posted October 15, 2021 #137 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Nope, COTA was build specifically to provide a long-term US venue for F1. We'll have to see if Australia, Japan and Singapore actually take place. Especially Australia where covid lockdown measures are downright insane by this stage.

NaBUru38 205 Posted October 22, 2021 #138 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I recall having read that COTA would lose government subsidies if there was a second race in the country. It seems that it's not a blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
