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 am a bit sad that it's not Hülkenberg, but Russell going from the worst car to the best is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,552 Posted December 2, 2020 #393 Share Posted December 2, 2020 At least 6 cars being filled in differently next season, now that's interesting. Curious what Schumacher will do, he absolutely has the raw speed but does need to step up in terms of consistency (although, to be fair, that has gotten better this year). 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 3,594 Posted December 2, 2020 #394 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Haas needs to step it up tbh. Quite frankly they've fallen behind Alfa Romeo on pace alone. I have a feeling having two rookies won't actually help them much either (though the so-called experienced pair of Magnussen & Grosjean simply run out of steam). Mazepin looks like the least-qualified of the Russian pay-drivers. I'd take Markelov over him and well, Sirotkin was slow but didn't crash too often. I wish we got to see Alexander Rossi in a proper F1 equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,552 Posted December 2, 2020 #395 Share Posted December 2, 2020 No no no, not Artem Markelov. The guy has been racing in F2 since before Fangio entered F1 and just never really improved. He's quite decent, no doubt, but especially for what would be a rookie he's both too old and hasn't nearly shown enough improvement in recent years.

You probably confused Markelov with Marco Apicella in F3000 Between 2016-2018 Markelov was a F2 title challenger, he finished runner-up only to LeClerc in 2017. I'd say he wouldn't have done worse than Sirotkin in 2018 Williams but it's all gone now. His current F2 team seems to be more focused on Formula E which probably explains why he's struggling so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,594 Posted December 4, 2020 #397 Share Posted December 4, 2020 First practive is over and Russell was 0,322 faster than Bottas. Guess the Hamilton X factor is a hoax and Bottas maybe sucks more than people think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 3,594 Posted December 4, 2020 #400 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Meanwhile Fittipaldi is ca. 0,2 secs faster than Aitken in FP2 again. He was faster by 0,150 in FP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
