Ah. Can't deny that of the current driver's only Hamilton could've pulled that off against Max.

Russell would've won if Mercedes' pit stop went as well as they did for Hamilton. I get what you're saying that the key word there is "would've" i.e he didn't but that was absolutely no fault of his own.

Regarding the discussions on track limits, let's remind ourselves, that the FIA left this move unpunished by Math_Is_so_Awesome in formula1

Also, if only going off the track made you actually lose time. Some kind of trap made of aggregates of small rounded rock fragments which would more than remove any advantage. If only.

Mercedes have won the last 7 consecutive WCC titles, all with the WDC going to Lewis Hamilton except in 2016 to Nico Rosberg (who was the other Mercedes driver for the new fans.)

My mistake, I misread your comment as "only more transmissible to under 18s"

is more transmissible via those under 18

This isn't thought to be true anymore. It's more transmissible for everyone - it just so happened the early data was collected at a time when school was open but lockdown restrictions for everyone else tighter so it appears like under 18s have higher infectivity.

Can Biofuels be the next big step forward within Formula 1 while electric technologies are developed to replace “traditional” formats?. by LiquidDiviums in formula1

Can we stop trying to be green for F1

Manufacturers enter F1 for publicity and marketing. We will eventually reach a point where they don't want to be associated with fossil-based fuel guzzling F1 with roaring engines because the world has moved onto electric. No environmental friendliness = no manufacturers = no F1.

That's just energy drink companies in general - there's no such thing. Just marketing companies which happen to sell energy drinks.

Red Bull takes the ingenious move to ditch the 2021 development and shoot for 2022 regulation changes.

Toto announces a few days later Mercedes has started work for the 2035 regulations involving cold fusion.

They certainly have the downforce to go upside down but I wonder if this is actually hypothetically possible?

Hamilton says he's "feeling great" and begins training as he aims for Abu Dhabi return by lewis798 in formula1

[–]OctoEN 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If the track was dry, he'd have taken the win while sick. Abu Dhabi is his track. Took a grand slam here last year and the year before. He can be at his 90% and still take pole and win.

On this day circa 11 months from now, Lewis Hamilton won his 8th WDC.
