[Official] British Grand Prix 2021: Grand Prix Weekend Thread - Round 10 of 23

Just bring on the next GP, we need it badly.... Hopefully there will be something controversial in it (ideally not involving Max and Lewis) that will divert our attention from another 40 pages of this......).

60% chance of rain for the race - so 40 pages of complaints that F1 cars and drivers are rubbish because they can't race in the wet?

Yes. This thread really only exists because there is nothing else to talk about. It will continue to a much lesser degree after the next GP, but will eventually die as some new "outrage" replaces this one.

It's just one big echo chamber at this point. With little new "news".

Sadly because Red Bull are taking the case further with the FIA I think this one may run and run for a little while longer

Sadly, That is true. (Sadly, not because I agree/disagree with RB on this, but because it will extend this trainwreck of a thread)

Now Horner and Wolff are very bright guys and I thought in the past generally respected each other. I do wonder if the whole thing is some plot by the promoter to create more drama and get more press coverage (which it has).
We have had in Boxing forever, the whole artificial hate and angst pre match which is obviously pre planned.
Soccer, managers mouth of at other teams but a couple of years on they have moved tot hat team etc.
In the BTCC the drivers and team appear on the TV coverage saying "he pushed me" etc like kids on a playground but in the evening they are all having a pint together.

Let's try to put this in perspective... Racing is all about passing the guy in front and, if possible, going on to win. Copse is a fast corner on a very wide track. If you go in there first then you have room to give any close challenger space to pass, on either side. We all know you can't win a race on the first lap but you can certainly lose it – so common sense should have told MV to give Lew room and not risk the accident that put him (Max) into the wall. If the FIA stewards are going to penalise any such move, going forward, then we risk an emasculation of F1 as the ultimate test of racing skill and, yes, genius.

Bottas: "Hold my beer."

I think he must have been holding his own beer, and didn't brake for fear of spilling it.....

It's a shame though, Lando had a terrific start.
